	Member: bladekin99 here are my moves: earthquake thunder fang flamethrower dragon claw or draco meteor(i reccomend dragon claw as it does not lower the special attack stat) these moves rock in battle 20 Jun 09 13:42 0
	Member: steel dragons A good Salamence is like this: Nature: Jolly EVs: Att: 252, Speed: 252, HP: 4(depends of HP IVs here) Item: Salac Berry Moves: Dragon Claw, Fire Fang/earthquake, Belly Drum, Subsitute You start by putting the foe to sleep. Then, you switch to Salamence. You first use subsitute, then you use belly drum, then you start sweeping. You would use dragon claw most of the time, but you would use fire fang or earthquake aganist steel types (who resist dragon claw. If you could set up this strategy, then it would probably destroy many opponents with its boosted attack and speed stats. 2 Apr 09 09:21 0
