"The one pokemon that can pull off this moveset is none other than the legendary pokemon kyreum" Smeargle: *I walk a lonely road, the only one that I have ever known*

I figured Ghost/Fighting was going to play apart in this since Marshadow (and now Annihilape) hit just about the entire game neutrally only needing their STABs

How to hit every typing for super effective save for those without weaknesses: Use metronome and be really damn lucky.

I have arrived to watch this particular piece of entertainment before anyone else. That is all.

The best moveset is Block + Recycle + Slack Off + Heal Pulse. It's the only moveset that has been banned from Anything Goes

I remember Mamoswine getting incredible coverage with - Icicle Crash - Earthquake - Knock Off - Superpower Great Tusk gets to replace Superpower with Close Combat and Icicle Crash with Ice Spinner, that mon is just a dream come true. So fun to use!

Always liked Starmie's moveset potential with: Surf/Hydro Pump Thunderbolt Ice Beam Psychic You can practically dent everything for neutral damage.

You actually got me with the water thing. I was thinking to myself "water is pretty bulky, and common, seems more important to hit super effectively" and as soon as you pulled the rug I remembered freeze dry. Good moves.

I see a lot of people talking about thousand arrows as a better option for the ground type move, but nobody mentioning flying press as the fighting type move. That way you can get super effective coverage against fighting types too! It loses supereffective damage against rock and steel types, but your ground type moves already cover against those. Obviously this could only work on smeargle though (since Hawlucha doesn’t get any ice or ghost type moves)

It is not possible, but replacing earthquake with thousand arrows would allow the set to hit steel/flying and fire/flying types super effectively, as well as hitting the bronzong line. If you add the ability scrappy it'd allow you to hit hissuian zoroark.

EdgeQuake and BoltBeam are notorious for a reason. Any pokemon being able to combine the two in one single moveset would be insane. Predicting that to be the answer in the video, but not sure

Great video as per usual. If only Freeze Dry was a TM, then at *least* Mew would also achieve this. But I suppose Kyurem can have this one achievement to its name, as a treat. I'm not going to say this is the best moveset or anything, but my brother's Mega Gengar with Dazzling Gleam, Thunderbolt, Shadow Ball, and Focus Blast dealt psychic damage to me because I just had no chance. I didn't even have a Mega of my own. He has not been forgiven for this betrayal.

Funbro: Slowbro Leppa Berry Recycle Heal Pulse Recover Block so good it can't even be played in Pokemon Showdown's Anything Goes tier.

Usually i spent a lot of hours in a Type Coverage Calculator just for choose the right moveset to my offensive pokemon, and i LOVED how this video totally represents me during those moments. Also, my take for the best moveset, could go to the usual Dragonite with Extreme Speed, Earthquake, and Ice Spinner. It doesn't use any of his stabs, or does super effective to 80% of the pokedex, but, uses 3 really damn good moves, it hits either neutral or super effective, and leaves a free slot to roost, dragon dance, etc. (Sorry for my horrible english XD)

I have always liked earth/rock coverage for hitting everything neutral

this isn’t possible, but if your fighting move is flying press, you now hit fighting types for super effective in exchange for steel and rock types (which are redundant, as you already hit them for super effective with ground).

Best Assault Vest moveset Add TERA Ghost, Aurorus gains this moveset and with an Assault Vest and Snow Warning it would be an offensive snow setter that can take hits on both sides and TERA blast to cover Shedninja. It's also a special attacker, which means it can use tera blast as a normal type move outside of TERA too. Tera ghost also turns Aurorus into fighting immune from a 4x weakness

My all time favorite is gen 3 swampert, earthquake ice beam surf and protect is so great, this set on it's own has carried me through much of the battle frontier

For someone who has been playing since the age of 3 and always had trouble making a type efficient move set, this helped me a ton. Truly amazing video. thank you so much

I would like to point out too that the Kyurem fusion forms are the only two that can perform this well because of their Mold Breaker type abilities. The type calculator doesn’t take into consideration abilities like levitate. So regular Kyurem wouldn’t be able to hit pokemon like weezing or the rotoms.

This was awesome. Great job on the research. I was admittedly one of those saying, "Ghost? Why not electric?"

At first I thought great tusk was a great option for ground/fighting moves with ice spinner and Tera blast ghost, but then my hopes were gone when freeze-dry was mentioned

i knew freeze dry was coming lol

this video + your channel are CRIMINALLY underrated!! loved this!

anything with rock slide + eq is pretty much the peak moveset for anything that can get it and is a move combo I use often. of all 1198 pokemon in existance, only 8 total pokemon resist it (with 0 immunities): Brelooom, Toreterra, Lilligant, Virizion, Chesnaught, Decidueye, Toeadscrool, Toedscruel. Only Grass+Ground and Grass+Fighting, which are answered by most other types. It even hits schedninja! It hits 621 pokemon neutrally and 569 pokemon for super effective damage. All the while leaving space for 2 entire other moves, it's great.

You said anything but FEAR so how about something more toxic in FUNbro? -Block -Slack Off -Heal Pulse -Recycle While holding a Leppa Berry. So much FUN making your opponent sit in an infinite battle or rage quit

Mamoswine with ice shard, earthquake, knock off, and superpower

It all depends on the current moment's metagame and what you're going to face most of the time, furthermore it isn't recommended contain too many roles in one mon, so the best moveset is balanced with its partner mons' synergy. Right now, you can leave fighting only to your Garganacl counter, since others hitted hard by it (all dark types in OU plus iron treads) have better coverage with fairy, given the walking wakes, dragapults, roaring moons, hydreigons, garchomps and dragonites in almost every team, and water is a very desired type for the most used mon (great tusk) as well as forcing skeledirge to terastalize (or killing it), kill or heal clodsire (careful), deal with ting-lu, cinderace, garganacl, volcarona and moth, ceruledge and armarouge... So yeah, my most valued mon is great tusk and the most used one as well, so I'd say the best moveset now has strong ground/fighting stabs/bulkup/rapid spin/knockoff. Tusk is the most used mon, and that's mainly for its moveset and stats, because there aren't any electric threats in the meta, its only OU defensive trait by typing is quad resistance to rocks and dark resist...

For the best moveset, im thinking: 1. Sketch 2. Also Sketch 3. A bit risky but Sketch 4. Very hot take here, i know, but Sketch. Could also be replaced with Sketch. Granted you'll need to use all these in other places first but beyond that this moveset needs no explanation.

-Guillotine -Fissure -Sheer Cold -Horn Drill NOW YOU'RE PLAYING WITH POWER

I’ve been playing through a lot of Pokémon infinite showdown and I’ve been trying to figure this out for myself with regards to a hyper offense team, appreciate your in-depth look at this it’s been very helpful

"There's no moveset that hits everything for super effective damage" Arceus with the legend plate: *"Are you sure about that?"*

If you're willing to play Smeargle games, Thousand Arrows lets you add a few Pokemon to your list, including Eelectross and all of the Fire/Flying and Steel/Flying Pokemon

Might have missed it but I'm surprises there wasn't a Legend Plate Arecus Meme in this.

Flippin love this! Now the best defensive or status moveset!!

Yeah, status goes wild. Soak/Thunderbolt on Lanturn would do work.

Best moveset: Celebrate Hold hands Splash Torment

I have been yelling boltbeam in this entire video even though it's probably not right

Love the content! Thanks for the videos.

theoretically you could also add flying press to the mix for the fighting coverage, super cool vid

Given Ghost and Dark are largely interchangeable, it could be that with a dark move instead, a few more mons could use the full set

Cant be best moveset with focus miss. Jokes aside, this was extremely well made and fun to watch!

What I would’ve done is only calculate how many competitive Pokémon are weak to a given 4 types. You aren’t gonna find not fully evolved mons or Luvdisc at the highest level of play. Yet they account for a good percentage of the results from Pokémondb’s coverage calculator

Golurk with earthquake, Dynamic punch, ice punch and poltergeist: am i a joke to you?

This video made feel so damn good about the random moves I chose on my Annihilape for the Battle Stadium in Pokémon Scarlet. Stomping Tantrum, Ice Punch, Drain Punch and Rage Fist ftw!

Kyurem white moveset: Freeze dry Focus blast/hidden power fighting Shadow ball Earthpower Item: expert belt Freeze dry can also hit water type for supper effective It can even hit Pokemon like palkia,peliper,swampert etc with 4x damage

It would be interesting to instead compute which moveset would do the most damage on average, which I expect would lead to a very different set of moves in the end. At first I'd probably exclude stab bonuses, attack stats, movepools and abilities since that would make the computation way way harder. But just calculating average base power x effectivenss for every relevant combination of damaging move and pokemon seems possible. And while there are around 480 damaging moves in pokemon you would only need to consider the move of each type with the highest average base damage (plus a couple of exceptions like flying press etc) Then for each move you'd sum the damages for all 1,000 or so pokemon. Then select the move with the highest damage output as the basis, then from all remaining moves you would subtract any damages for pokemon which are less than the corresponding damage from the basis move. Then sum the remaining damages and select the move with the highest damage from that list. Rinse and repeat until you have selected 4 moves. This procedure doesn't technically guarantee maximum damage output but it should come pretty close. But ultimately you would probably be left with a moveset which only smeargle can learn, making the whole thing purely academic. But computing the highest damage moveset which actually exists (i.e. taking into account stab, attack stats etc) would be harder than I would want to attempt, although someone with more coding experience and a computer with some processing power could probably do it.

I clicked for the thumbnail Tyranitar set that reminded me of my Gen 5 one.

Alright, that's it. Mr. Rime is banned to ubers.

Love to see new poketubers rising up

legend plate arceus "judgement is the moveset"

I knew since you said ice I was predicting you to talk about freeze dry which is really smart idea to hit water types aswell

wow this is extremely interesting, way to go!!

Thousand Arrows should be the preferred Ground type move, as it can hit Flying type Pokemon, and Pokemon with the ability Levitate, which allows it to hit some Pokémon for Super Effective damage which you otherwise wouldn't, such as Skarmory and Eelektross. Likewise, Flying Press should be the preferred Fighting type move, as the only negative effects of doing this are that some Pokémon are only hit for 2x Super Effective Damage instead of 4x Super Effective damage, and in exchange, you can hit most Fighting types, and, due to abilities, you can't hit Orthworm or Rotom Frost for Super Effective damage; Mold Breaker should fix that, and Thousand Arrows already fixes the latter. Granted, now must be a mixed attacker, but that's a small price to pay for optimal coverage.

Just 3 and half minutes in and the puns are top tier :D "Let's Cross out Poison"

Come to think of it, I usually find myself using dragon type moves without ever realizing it's coverage is ridiculously bad. This was an eye opener

Tera blast would also let Mr. Rime use a special ground move. If it makes it’s way into SV in the future

This process is actually how I decide the move sets of hyper offense or Playthrough Pokémon, especially for Arceus

This is probably the best *specs* moveset, at the very least. Although I will mention, not hitting the bulky AF corviknight for SE may make it viable to run an electric move somewhere on the set, because otherwise you’re relying on it to use roost. Very in-depth video though!

Fighting does theoretically have a move that it can run for more coverage being flying press with its damage calculation being either fighting or flying type

I’d argue that the best move set is Body slam Hyper beam Blizzard Earthquake This allows Taurus to be a powerful late game cleaner, with body slam into hyper beam koing most of the format after a bit of chip damage

I love the sass your doggo throws around

You have gained a sub and a like bro !

damn that must have taken so long to calculate

Imprison and tranform is such a good combo

To maybe uptadr it I think that for the current moment flying electric fighting earth is a bit better than what you mentioned in the video which is cool because I think multiple pokemon can use those types. Love the video by the way

Flying press as a move for fighting would essentially give you 5 moveslots.

Great video time to use this moveset in balanced hackmons 🌞

Jus give Mr. Rhyme; - Freeze Dry - Focus Miss - Shadow Ball - Tera Blast Ground! 💡

this reminds me of my endeavor to find the best possible moveset for the battle hall in gen 4. the idea was the same as yours, use a moveset that can hit lots of pokemon super effectively. I ended up with metagross, I don't exactly remember the moveset, but it had a ground type, an ice type and a fighting type move, just like the moveset you found. it's funny to think I did this in gen 4 though, when the options were very different from what we have today.

Poor forgotten Smeargle 🎨

make more videos! you remind me of the some of the best big poketubers, you could hit it big

Interesting. Signature moves throw a wrench it imo; really anything with a huge base power or crazy secondary effect can sort of negate the need for coverage. Moves like Outrage (pre fairy days) Focus Punch, Gen 1 Hyper Beam end up outdamaging Super effective moves with less power. Torch Song isn't broken but an example of what i mean with secondary effect.

Only way to make this set better is to replace ice beam with freeze dry. If you want an annoying move that single handedly sets up a lot of bs strategies than soak is the best move. Especially since it allows everything to be hit super effectively with freeze dry alone

My first thought with this video was 'Freeze Dry.' Ice move which is strong, add super effective on water. Happy to see it acknowledged. It's my favorite move for a reason

Totally subscribed once I saw the pupper 🥺

Nidoking from the distance: Hi

Wonderful video, just one teeny tiny detail. While not possible on a single pokemon, there is a way to bump up that 1032 to a neat 1035. Namely tousand arrows. If you were to replace your ground move with thousand arrows, it allows you to hit the Eelektros line for super effective damage. Amazing video though

ShepskyDad: "they're hitting over a thousand pokemon for super effective damage" Me: bold of you to assume focus blast hits

As a guy that was invested in competitive Pokemon during Kyurem's reign of terror in Ge 8 OU, I knew before starting what the first 3 moves would be right off the bat, there was a reason Kyurem was banned, and that reason was that Earth Power/Freeze Dry and Focus Blast (and Focus Blast was the most expandable on the list because of how terrifying the first two were together) hit just almost everything for SE and nothing resists it (without FB the only resist are ...... Rotom Heat and Bronzong, which is LOL). But if we're talking purely about SE coverage then you could Swap Earth Power for Thousand Arrows (legality issues aside) as it would allow to natively deal SE against Bronzong, Rotom H, the Fire Flying and Steel Flying types, which would bump up the stats even more

I knew it was going to be Kyurem before we even got into the video 😂 I’m pretty sure there’s a video out there titled your team loses to Kyurem. That mon is a menace.

Belly drum, rest, snore, strength on Snorlax with a citrus berry

If we’re going off of hypotheticals , flying press would close the gap even more with it being a duel type move now hitting bug types and fighting

That's great coverage for Kyurem, but for competitive play, you need to drop one of those moves for either Substitute or Calm Mind to get OHKOs with super-effective hits/longevity.

great vid man

The best moveset including focus blast triggers me so hard

I love using mega aggron with iron defense, rock polish, body press, and heavy slam! Only legal in national dex sadly but it’s just so cool how bulky it is. Basically a super shucklebthat can actually kill stuff. Once maxed out it’s def can hit like 2500+. Making body press able to two hit KO anything that’s not a ghost type

kyurem was actually a pretty underwhelming legendary until generation 8, when it got freeze dry. it went from RUBL in gen 7 to being straight up banned from OU in gen 8. freeze dry also made iron bundle basically impossible to switch into with it’s dual water/ice stab, hence it’s ban. freeze dry is kind of a nutty move

You say you came up with the best move set, but your winners only have 3 moves. Focus Blast has 0% accuracy.

Really wasn't expecting you to hit us with the freeze dry. Literally who even remembers that move

Hypothetically using flying press for the fighting move would let you hit fighting types super effectively

technically with a moveset of full one-hit ko moves, you can one-shot every single mon, which means it can hit every pokemon for "super effective" damage.

awesome content bro more pls

Priority moves are super good, so I think the best moveset would have at least one

My favorite is Starmie: Surf, Psychic, Thunderbolt, Ice beam I’m not a competitive player but this move set can take you through basically entire game with no problems for most part.

LIVING PROOF THAT GEN 5 IS THE BEST GEN OUT OF ALL OF THEM. LITERALLY NO COMPETETTION.

We're just looking to pull off super effective hits right? Lanturn: Soak, Thunderbolt. Clefairy: Metronome To be more serious though, and still in the spirit of the original intent, I think a more thorough analysis would factor in expected damage output. From Kyurem, 1x effective Draco Meteor does more damage than 2x effective Shadow Ball and Earth Power, and almost as much as 2x effective Freeze Dry, while trailing behind 2x effective Focus Blast just a bit. Setting some ground rules for a similar run: We're looking to maximize damage defined by as a percentage of the targets maximum health, as an average result of any random variables (accuracy, magnitude, critical hits, etc.) The attacker and target are level 100 in a single battle. The attacker has optimized IVs/EVs and consistent, the defender has 0 EV/IVs. All attacks must be capable of causing a KO (no super fange, endeavor.) Field conditions are neutral and stat changes are neutral unless an ability changes them immediately. Moves must deal damage over a single turn. Moves must not KO the user. No major generational gimmicks (Mega stones, Z-crystals, Dynamax, Terastalizing.) Regular items (usually choice bands/specs/life orb) are allowed. Assume the opponent is using splash at its native speed (Focus Punch works, Counter does not, Fischous Rend depends on speed.) I think we're now in an environment a bit more balanced. Coverage is important, but can be trumped by stats and base power. Mixed sets are also viable since most Pokemon won't need speed, but this would lose out on power as they're likely running a life orb instead of a choice item. Top contenders that come to mind: Deoxys with Choice Specs: Psycho Boost, Focus Punch, Hyper Beam, Shadow Ball Rayquaza with Life Orb: V-Create, Dragon Ascent, Outrage, Giga Impact, Draco Meteor Alolan Marowak with Thick Club: Flare Blitz, Poltergeist, Focus Punch, Stone Edge Kyogre with Choice Specs: Water Spout, Thunder, Ice Beam, Hyper Beam I doubt I've got a top set. But I think this is the order of magnitude we're looking at.

A fun fact about the ground ice dual typing is that the only two type combinations to resist it without abilities factored in is ice bug and water bug. With abilities you add bronzong and orthworm to the mix (unless I’m forgetting anything)

Hitting things for super-effective dmg is nice and all, but it means nothing if your move of choice dont have the necessary power to back it up. Which i think is the case with Freeze Dry. Only really a good move when coming off of an Ice Stab. Otherwise you are better of using one of your neutral Stabs. Still, these types DO work wonderfully together. Weavile in gen 8 being a great example, it ran Dark (pretty much the same as Ghost) Ice and sometimes Fighting.

Huh. Interesting. Thanks for the tip!
