[36 / 6 / ?]
So I spent 4 hours looking for a stupid Carbink with Sturdy. I finally found one and bred it at the daycare so I've got about 10 of them. Some of them have max IVs in HP and SpD. I can give some away if anyone wants. More importantly, Carbink thread. Discuss goddamned Carbinks. Their moveset is up on serebii. I like the moves Stealth Rock, Reflect, Light Screen, Rest (plus that berry that wakes you up), maybe flail or Toxic, Moonblast maybe, explosion, Gyro Ball, Substitute, Trick Room, Guard Split for Double Battles I'm not sure which 4 to pick. I might have 2 Carbinks, one for Double battle and one for single, but even then I have to decide which 4 attacks would be good and what item should go with it. Probably Leftovers whatelseisnew DIscuss Carbink.

>>15712697 How would it evolve though? Anyone take one of those fuckers up to Lv.100? Or is it going to be some sort of event shit

>>15710937 I'd love a Carbink. You good with a 4IV Clauncher? Only thing I got worth trading for your hardwork.

Please for the love of God can I have one! I will trade you my Shiny Gooey Sliggoo or Shiny Zoroark or Shiny Skorupi or Hidden Ability. Name your price, It's going on a week that I've been farming one for Sturdy with no luck, please. I beg of you...Have mercy....

I've done it for about 8 hours a day for the past 7 days and have yet to have one with Sturdy T^T

>>15713455 Use Sweet Scent to only get hordes where they're more likely to have the ability. Even then. It was hell going through all that.

Mir [3539 - 9749 - 4434] (Seviper, Muk, Venomoth) Fri 08 Nov 2013 05:20:45 No. 15714769 Report More specifically, go into Reflection Cave with a Pokemon with Sweet Scent which attracts only hordes. Also have a Pokemon that knows Earthquake or Surf at the front of your party. Keep using sweet scent and getting pokemon battles until you get one with 4 Roggenrolas and a Carbink. Use Earthquake or Surf. If the Carbink faints, run away. If it survives with 1 HP, it has sturdy. Kill the Roggenrolas and take your deserved Carbink. Anyways, this took me 4 hours nonstop to do, so I don't necessarily think it's worth doing if you can get it in a trade.

>>15712697 Maybe that means Diancie will probably appear in Reflection Cave when the event comes out.
There's one spot in particular that looks like it's ready to have Legendary sit on.

sturdy is a bad ability what's the point of having a pokemon if it's just going to get one or two attacks out??

>>15715547 Sturdy is a great ability, but you're right, it's not ideal for a defensive pokemon. If anything in the game is capable of one hitting him, you're building him wrong.

Can I have one of your carbinks that you bred?

Quoted By:
>>15716364 depends, you could use it as a 100% counter-set up pokemon. assumming no hazards (and yea, i know that's a tough one but nowadays it's not as difficult) a sturdy pokemon would be able to take a 4x BP from scizor, and force the switch via red card. that's one way to use it for example. as a "panic" button.
also works if you lead with it early on, the opponent may feel safe to set up in front of carbink, and then once they feel they're done, bam, red card to the face. in that time you got all your set ups and stuff ready.

I knew Carbink was defensive as soon as I saw it but I still gave mine a sweeper-esque moveset (probably because support and stalling during the main game takes forever so fuck that); Moonblast Power Gem Stealth Rock Calm Mind Stealth rocks to start battles, calm mind a bunch while taking hits, hyper potion cause im a pleb then unleash STAB attacks. No doubt I'm playing mine wrong but its been effective enough so far, what are the best movesets so far to take on the likes of Battle Maison?
