Electabuzz moveset...?

[Castrainer]

P.S.: IRL!!
Whats the best moveset for an Electabuzz? I've been thinking on it all day and got just this poor thingy...

Electabuzz @ Leftovers
Static [Nature: No Changes]
-Thunderbolt
-Thunder Wave
-Brick Break
-Reflect

So? It isnt that great because I... Never had a Electric Pkmn in my team o__o;;

I personally think that Electabuzz is just completely difficult to use O.o; Really... hard... EV setup is difficult to balance, just like Swampert and Dragonite.

Electabuzz- [speed or sp.atk + / def -] @ lum berry
EV: speed, sp.atk (and sp.def if using light screen)
-thunderbolt
-ice punch/thunderwave
-cross chop
-light screen/thunderwave

YES it's taking off def o.o; not a mistake there. With or without it, you'll die anyway, so might as well take a lower defense nature so you get cross chop decent at least (you're only using it against stuff like Aggron, Blissey and various stuff of major fighting weakness really, or if they're Lanturn). Thunderwave, ice punch or light screen is up to you.

Note: you can't get ice punch AND cross chop unless you got emerald I believe... can't think of anything that can learn those 2 moves without emerald's assistance.

Medicham learns Ice Punch, but does it breeds with Buzz?
And if I cant get Cross Chop... Brick Break does it, riiiight?

 

[Frostweaver]

personally prefer cross chop over ice punch... tons of stuff can use boltbeam, but no one can cross chop/thunderbolt that well. I'll take light screen if ice punch+cross chop isn't available.

Medicham can't learn cross chop... so yeah o.o;

Soo...

Electabuzz- [speed or sp.atk + / def -] @ lum berry
EV: speed, sp.atk
-thunderbolt
-Light Screen
-cross chop
-thunderwave

?

 

[Frostweaver]

That's what I'll be looking at... yeah. After a light screen, you can actually tank a few special attacks. Usually there's something that's weak to either thunderbolt or cross chop, and it's not as predictable this way... still predictable, but at least it's not the most predictable standard.

my electabuzz
thunder punch
thunder bolt
brick break
psychic
cant remeber nature

 

[Mana Lugia]

Consider Sub =)

gives you a free turn if you use it right, just like screen.

 

[Ice demon]

Try out

Electabuzz[+sp, -def]
EVs - Sp, Att, SpAtt
focus punch/cross chop
substitute
thunderbolt
thunderwave/ice punch

evidently ice punch and cross chop can't be used together.........well i think so.
Focus punch + thunderbolt can make it a low grade skarmbliss counter if need be.
but gengar still does the job better..........
