	Member: Gamekid100 my empoleon is lvl 100 item: leftovers hydro cannon steel wing surf waterfall 31 Aug 12 06:09 0
	Member: JOHNNYBOLT Empoleon is so much better than piplup but you should put a moonstone on prinplup!!!! 19 Aug 11 07:27 0
	Member: Abomasnow Empoleon is very good, if you teach it the right moves: Hydro Pump(it has pretty good acuracy) Surf Waterfall Hydro Cannon Hydro Canon is not necesary but with Surf and Waterfall you can get through alot and their very strong moves. 23 Apr 11 16:36 0
	Member: hin2000@hotmail.com my empoleon is bam!here are its moves: hydro cannon bubble beam brine surf BTW my empoleon loves me too we543657 14 Feb 11 11:48 0
	Member: Emerald4evr surf flash cannon ice beam grass knot 26 Oct 10 21:49 0
	Member: Giritina217 My Empoleon is Lv. 100 its moves are hydro cannon, shadow claw, surf, and ice beam. 5 Aug 10 11:32 0
	Member: Grindpower I agree with torterra below but I'd switch the hydro pump for surf as it has more accuracy and can be used as his sig. move and has more pp to use but that's just my opinion. Btw Pilots12 you have obviously no idea of how to use a pokemon do you? 26 May 10 13:41 0
	Member: torterramaniak my empoleon got 310 in sp atk.so i made him a special sweeper and not even milotic can resist his move set -ice beam -hydro pump -flash canon -drill peck(i know it's physical but it took down every fighting i encounter to date) 29 Apr 10 09:28 0
	Member: killer infernape i might not be the best comment giver but pilots 12 i can already see many flaws in your moveset empoleon is like the best if not one of the best sp. sweepers and you mock it by giving it physical moves i just gave mine drill peck to take out weaknesses not for no reason and plus you,d actually give it grass knot have you ever thought about the concept of using ice beam!? you could at least give it a move like hydro pump not cannon cannon is an ending blow and can be put to good use if you can deliver a OHKO . just switch after. i say to you what hedge hog hot head said yours sincerely a guy who is obviously smarter than you 11 Apr 10 17:11 0
	Member: Pilots12 I personally think Empoleon is an awesome Pokemon. Piplup may not start out the best, but if you don't delete Peck, you can manage to get past the second gym and evolve in to Prinplup, then Empoleon. Empoleon has average defensive stats, but its many resistances make up for that. With the high resistances, you really don't have to worry about the low HP. One big tip, NEVER TEACH EMPOLEON ANY HMS! THERE ARE OTHER VERY STRONG MOVES OTHER THAT SURF, WATERFALL, AND CUT! THEY JUST TAKE UP VALUABLE MOVE SLOTS! SAVE THOSE SLOTS FOR MOVES LIKE HYDRO CANNON, STEEL WING, DRILL PECK, AND GRASS KNOT! Those four moves I think is the ultimate move set for Empoleon. Sorry about the all caps. I just feel very strongly about Empoleon. 23 Mar 10 18:54 0
