Discharge VS Shock Wave?

1 minute read

Which is better for doubles battles?I’m planning on running it on a Jolteon.

My bad, probably should have added what Pokes I was teaming it with.

My Team at the moment is (My DS is broken atm so I’m going off of memory)Ferrothorn @ Rocky HelmetSassy Nature, Iron BarbsPower WhipStealth RockGyro BallLeech Seed

Greninja @ Mystic Water (Any better items to run on it would be appreciated)Timid Nature, TorrentIce BeamWater PulseGrass KnotHydro Cannon

Charizard @ Charizardite XAdamant Nature, BlazeDragon ClawFire FangFlare BlitzSlash

Jolteon @ MagnetModest Nature, Volt AbsorbThunderboltThunder WaveShadow BallVolt Switch < The move I was going to replace

I usually Start with Ferrothorn/Jolteon

AND Before you start slamming me for my terrible choices on this team please keep in mind that I’m not playing competitively.

Discharge:+) 100 accuracy+) better power+) can paralyze-) it won’t hit if someone uses a evasion move

Shock Wave:+)infinite accuracy+) can paralyze+) can it anything-) not as strong as Discharge-) could not OKHO unless super effictive

In a result: use discharge.

Shock Wave sucks. Use Thunderbolt instead. But in doubles, Discharge is better if your teammate is immune to Electric-type moves. Otherwise, Thunderbolt. But even then, Jolteon isn’t relevant in Doubles where Raikou, Mega-Manectric or even Zapdos and Thundurus are available.
