Sooo outside of buying DP or hacking is there no way to get defog on this guy? Can it even be transferred from DP to SM if it did?

would kind of like not to get banned though : (
Nope, that's pretty much the only way aside from hacking.
All you need is a copy of BW/BW2 and you can transfer it to Sun and Moon via Transporter and Bank.

Darn, and I don't even know if it's worth it to wait for the DP remakes seeing as they may or may not do away with the HMs this time around :T
>>31573635
Entry Hazards, Rapid Spin and Defog are underused anyways in Battle Spot so you aren't missing anything.

Just eject it lol
Slightly related, would a Defogger need to be transferred from HGSS since Defog was an HM in DPP, or does 4->5 transfer just bar HM moves from Gen 5?
>>31573780
Perhaps, but almost every guide for Empoleon recommends having Defog and I really like this mon and would prefer having the most optimal moves for it you know?
>>31573858
Poke Transfer is only picky about HM moves from the respective Gen 4 game they're from. Also, yes you would need to trade the Defogger to HG/SS and then Poke Transfer it from there into BW/BW2.
>>31573751
Mon with HM moves can't be sent over
>>31573864
If you're going battle spot, defog is NOT an optimal move
>>31574030
That's right, but Defog is only a HM in DPPt. If it is sent to HG/SS, it can be sent over since it isn't a HM there.

>not breeding it to get it as an egg move
Kek what a fucking idiot you are OP
>>31574093
Defog is not an egg move Piplup can learn outside of DP anon....

>>31574044
Does anyone have a moveset they would recommend without defog?

Agility
Hydro Pump
Ice Beam

So if you want an Empoleon Defogger, you will need DP, HGSS, and BW. Hmm.
>>31574184
And it has to be a legit copy of HGSS and BW.
>>31574172
hmm, this looks good. I guess stealth rock isn't that used this time around? iirc you can tutor for it in oras
>>31574635
It's used as much as ever, but it's only ever been used in 6v6. If you aren't playing 6v6 you shouldn't worry about it.
>>31575206
hmm, okay then. Thanks
Trust me, Empoleon is way more useful doing other things aside from Defog.
