THIS IS THE FIRST POKEMON OF THE WEEK to believe it or not.... lol. I agree that the second set is the best set. I've used it before, and with any entry hazards support, it can almost phaze similarly to a Skarmory. Anyways, GREAT JOB!PokemonDudehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02893781955265079030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6071905941849705359.post-83867053722451672262011-12-20T21:47:35.972-08:002011-12-20T21:47:35.972-08:00MILOTIC? ARE YOU KIDDING ME! THIS THING SUCKS........MILOTIC? ARE YOU KIDDING ME! THIS THING SUCKS.....<br />Jk. Jk. <br /><br />Milotic is a good pokemon in the UU environment providing a great bulky water there, and also being able to fit in an awesome F/W/G core. Some examples of this include, Roserade, Milotic, and Arcanine. Countering a nice protion of the UU metagame, and a fairly nice one in the OU Metagame as well. Now on to my thoughts. <br /><br />Scald is a bit overwhelming combined with Toxic on the first set, as Dragon Tail allows you to Phaze. Due to the sheer defensive prowes of this pokemon, Dragon Tail is a great move for Milotic providing a stop to set up sweepers, and racking up entry hazard. As a side note, you may want to put Toxic Spikes as a great partner to Milotiic, allowing to perhaps put Haze or Dragon Tail in the fourth slot. To add it in, I would just put in wherever you feel best, or right at the end of it. I would say, " Milotic greatly appreciates Toxic Spikes support because it allows her to free up a moveslot in the ourth, perhaps for a coverage move or some type of utility move. A great pokemon to compliment Milotic's typing would be roserade, providing Toxic spikes at the same time, a great combination." Just input a short partner to the set. <br /><br />For the Second set, I feel strongly that this should actually be the first set. Due to Marvel Scale, this set has amazing staying power, and can be a great phazer with a few pieces of luck. Sinec Milotic is a fairly speedy litlle bulky water, a set of Sleep Talk, Rest, Dragon Tail, and Roar can be used allowing a phazing move to be chosen at a 2/3 rate. While you are taunt bait, you should use this only as a hard core phazer. Overall, RestTalk Milotic is a great pokemon allowing it to stay in the battle for a very long time. <br /><br />As for the Third Set, this set does not need to be explained. The bigest boon over any other generic Special attacker, is its bulk, and Water Typing. This bulk and power is usually seen only with Rotom-W, or Choice Band Ferrothorn... (lol) But still, she's still a slow little fish, and thus needs all the speed she can get, so transfering some bulk over to speed would not be okay. <br /><br />Overall, a great POTW, and you forgot one crucial thing.

For the fi...Also, I forgot to post my thoughts lol. For the first set when you stated that items are almost the only way to cure poison, there are actually many ways. Lum Berry, Pecha Berry, Natural Cure, Shed Skin, and you know, blahblah. :) Also, as some people use a Milotic in rain, this is a drawback, since Thunder can EASILY counter Milotic, despite it's enormous defense stats.PokemonDudehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02893781955265079030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6071905941849705359.post-48791893513675573112011-12-19T08:56:24.897-08:002011-12-19T08:56:24.897-08:00:D Brendan!
