Which is better: Counter or Reversal?

[iamthetk]

I'm trying to figure out the best moveset for my Pichu team. Pichu 4's moveset so far is Thunder, Raindance, and Return... and i'm not familiar battling with either Reversal or Counter... so I am asking. Which would be better for a Pichu, whose max HP is around 244?

Reversal or Counter?

Thank you!

Reversal + Endure is the best combo.

I say reversal. Pichu's HP will go down pretty quickly, so you can surprise your foes with it, I guess.

i prefer reversal instead of counter

I'd go with Counter if it survives an earthquake X2 that's good but reversals also good try maybe both.

It really depends. But Reversal I like better. Watch out for Tyranitar, Quick Attacks, & Extreme Speeds.

And dude, if you use Rain Dance, your opponent will probably figure, "Ah, it's just a Pichu" and Quake it. And I doubt any Pichu can survive a Quake. :rolleyes:

Endure+Reversal works all the time, as long as your opponent attacks you. Counter isn't that good in your case. You have to actually survive the hit, AND the hit has to be physical. Not everyone uses EQ, and a decent Pokemon would OHKO Pichu with one EQ anyway.

Thanks for all the advice guys! I guess I'll try out Endure + Reversal for Pichu!

The reason I'm RDing one this Pichu is because I assume it's gonna get OHKO'ed but is fast enough to setup RD for my "Sweeper" Pichu.

Again, thank you very much for all the advice! *goes off to train*

Pichu has low phyical attack, why?

[iamthetk]

Probably cause it's so small? And weak? And pathetic?

>_> AND SO CUTE?!?! :redface:

[Tory vs Meaty II]

Well, okay, that works.

[risrilla]

It's better if you evolve it. =/

Good luck training.
