Just hatched a nice Heliolisk and wanted to know what moveset should I give her? I'm looking to run a Special Attacker set. I wan to go with Parabolic charge for the healing but I've noticed that people generally go for the Thunder or the T-Bolt. Suggestions?

>>15685435 Thank you for the suggestion! I hear surf is a monster on this sucker.
People have been talking a lot about Dark Puls on this guy. Is is worth it?

Tbolt/Dark Pulse/Grass Knot/Volt Switch is only walled by Hydreigon, Ferrothorn, Breloom (besides Special walls)

>>15685509 I'm looking to keep surf so would I want to go with Volt Switch/Grass Knot/Surf/Tbolt
or
Volt Switch/Dark Pulse/Surf/Tbolt?
I have no problem with Neutral coverage since its Sp. Atk stat is so enormous.

Also, Parabolic only feels worth it in doubles. People mainly go for thunder as Heliolisk gets dry skin, so with rain you'll have the regen and the 100% thunder accuracy. Really depends if you want to go specs or not, they work great on Heliolisk because of it's amazing coverage, the other option is life orb because with dry skin you take no real damage from it in the rain.

>>15685542 Well sadly mine is a Solar Power one but I was actually going for that. what I WILL do though is see if I can't grab myself a nice Dry Skin one just for that! But I was planning on running it on a sun team which is why I was considering Parabolic Charge. I'll grab the other Heliolisk though.
I apologize for not mentioning the ability sooner. I appreciate your help!

I haven't quite got this perfect breeding thing down yet, though. I'm having trouble gabbing the right dttos. My game seems bent on keeping any Pokemon with a good nature out of my reach.

I hope you'll understand i won't trade a good nature, good IV pokemon for one with just a good nature, but I still have good natures of any of those pokemon there.
I'm adding your FC now.

Honestly, this guy is great in any weather (besides Hail), and I have a few different ones depending on if I wanna be serious or mess with people. Running one with Sand Veil on a sandstorm team in doubles. Parabolic is nice since he and my Hippowden tend to lead. TBolt for when I don't want to hit a non-ground teammate. I only use surf if I have Mandibuzz (due to Fly to prolong Toxic) or Gastrodon (due to Storm Drain) out with it. Third slots on one is Dark Pulse, another Grass Knot, and a third has Psych Up to copy the Sp Atk boost from Gastrodon's storm drain.

Thunder wouldn't be worth it without rain either, still uncertain about Parabolic Charge in singles. Main probably I've been finding with him is priority moves, but I've been finding that a whole lot with nearly everyone so far this gen...

Although, I have to breed it too so give me a little time.

Volt Switch/Dark Pulse/Surf/Tbolt
If you find problems with that though you can always swap out T-Bolt or Dark Pulse for Grass Knot if needs be.
