Hey /vp/ help me out. I want to make another set for my boy Cacturne here. I already have a physical set and I was thinking to make a mixed or special set. Which one should I make? A special set with nasty plot sounds tempting but the lack of sucker punch might be detrimental. Thoughts?
Also Cacturne thread!

Just do a nasty plot set with sucker punch, and mild over timid. You can invest into attack a little bit if you want but it's not needed for the most part desu.

I have Maractus and as you know they are both pretty similar. I got Sunny Day, Solar Beam, Sucker Punch and Petal Blizzard. Cacturne probably can't learn Petal moves so you could go for Drain Punch or Energy Ball most likely.
I don't play competitive in any way so this is just what I run with for fun. Poison Jab, Energy Ball, Petal Dance (or whatever is good) and Sucker Punch also sounds great.
I think stat buffs are not really viable most of the time unless you go on a roll. if you have Nasty Plot then you should have a HP absorb move or something.

So mild nature
Nasty plot
Sucker punch
Energy ball/Giga drain
Dark pulse
How should I EV it? 55 base speed is painfully slow.
I would go Giga Drain over Energyball for that much needed Recovery.
I'd still invest in Speed if you don't plan on playing it in a Trickroom team
