Yet another underused Pokémon, Kricketune has an interesting
move pool. Having its great attack compared to the rest of its
stats, it invites you to sweep, but then again, you need to
sweep smartly with weak Pokémon as this one.
The movesets for today are…
Physical sweeper.
Kricketune@Salac berry.
Nature: Jolly (+ Speed, - Special attack).
EV’s: 252 Speed / 129 Attack / 129 HP.
- Swords dance
- X-scissor
- Brick break
- Endure / Sing
Use swords dance if possible, otherwise start with endure and
sweep as much as you can. Sing is another good option to boost
your stats until you are ready.
Choice scarf.
Kricketune@Choice scarf.
Nature: Jolly (+ Speed, - Special attack), Adamant (+ Attack, -
Special attack).
EV’s: 252 Speed / 252 Attack / 6 HP.
- Aerial ace
- X-scissor
- Brick break
- Return
This one is probably going down faster and easier, but if you
manage to sweep 2 of you foe’s Pokémon it will be just great.
Sweep as much as you can, you have very good options here. Some
use sing as well with this set.
Pros.
This one is for casual gaming as well. It is good if you manage
to boost its stats. So I’d protect him a little bit in double
battles, let me know how it goes =)
Counters.
Flying types are lethal, and combined flying types are even
worse (Altaria anyone?). Flying types are fast already,
specially if you are facing Staraptor or Pidgeot. So be very
careful.
Bottom line.
One more to go boys and girls…
Rating:
2.1/5
