Un-Uberizing an Uber
I've been obsessed with Latias for a long time, and more recently, Latios. I've had a (fantastic) Latias for awhile now, but her blue counterpart was missing from my PC. After getting (read: hacking) one, I happily spent an entire day leveling it up.
Like a broken record, the first thing I did was head to Smogon to get some ideas for movesets. They have awesome strategies, no doubt, but there's a small, but important detail that prevents them from helping much...
I, like a decent handful of other folks, am a Battle Frontier maniac. My favorite facility remains the Tower, though I love dabbling in the Arcade, and sometimes the Castle, as well. That's all well and good, but my point is this: I don't need my Latios to take down Kyogre and Mewtwo. I need my Latios to take down a bunch of cheating computers.
Untested as it may be, this is what he's currently got:
Timid Latios @ Soul Dew
-Draco Meteor
-Surf
-Thunderbolt
-Calm Mind
252 SPA
252 Spe
4 something
It should be noted that I hate Draco Meteor (not only for the obvious Special Attack drop, but I frown when I see that 90% accuracy), but if it's crucial to have, then so be it.
As for what's been crossing my mind...I'm not quite positive of that myself. I've been thinking of obtaining (read: hacking) a Grass Knot, possibly to replace Thunderbolt? I even messed around with Psychic a little, and while it was somewhat effective and fun, I found myself missing some Type coverage that I really wanted to have. I was hoping to have that worked into the moveset, if for nothing else than a reliable STAB, since I'd rather not resort to Draco Meteor unless needed. But again, I'm just not sure if it'll serve me well in the end.
I'm starting to sound incredibly rude for a first-time poster here, but I actually have one more request. Though this isn't necessarily important, I was hoping to be able to keep the set...slightly different from Latias's. Call me sentimental. She currently looks like:
Timid Latias @ Soul Dew
-Dragon Pulse
-Surf
-Recover
-Calm Mind
252 SPA
252 Spe
4 like-anybody-actually-cares-about-these-points
Like I said, it's not crucial if a few moves end up double dipping. I just wanted them to...keep their originality, I suppose you could say.
I understand it's a bit of an odd request, so any pointers would, of course, be greatly appreciated.
