Are there any other ways to power Zangoose?

Oct. 1, 2010

With his new ability, Toxic Boost, his physical attacks get stronger when poisoned. So What if I did the following:

-Boosted attack power with Swords Dance-Poisoned him either with a Pokemon, (I could use a toxic orb, but that wastes an item slot)-Gave him a life orb-STAB

Then use facade….

So the set would be:

Facade-Powered by all of this.

Swords dance-boosts up his stats

Night Slash-deals with Ghost types who try to get immunity to facade.

Close Combat/Aerial Ace-Close Combat deals with steel and rock types who dare to resist normal attacks, or normal to cover his fighting weakness. Any other suggestions? I plan on using him in double battles, so my partner can poison him.

Poor poor Zangoose. With this moveset he will faint so quickly. Great moveset! Although this would work best in double-battle where you can poison him. Hopefull yyou can use Poisonpowder or the like so that he won’t take a ton of damage. No problems here. EV train in ATtack, HP, and Speed, giving it an Adament nature.
