Is Beat-up worth having if you are NOT evolving sneasel?

i like sneasel, so what dark-type move would be best? I soooo want Sucker-Punch…. but oh well, whats the best? ive EV trained it’s ATT to the max, and I always have 6 pkmn in party, but it holds nothing, with it’s pickpocket ability…..

Just being the devil’s advocate for Beat Up.

I never really liked Beat Up… until I saw being used in Competative Play.

It can break through Focus Sashes and Sturdy with ease. With max Attack at Level 100, each hit has a power of 36, which is pretty good for a Multi-Hit move. With STAB, 54. Hitting 6 times, the combined power is 324 if all member are alive and don’t have a non-volatile status like Burn, Freeze, etc.

One downfall: it cannot be boosted by moves like Swords Dance. But, it can be boosted by Items like Muscle Band, Choice Band, etc.

To be honest with you, there really isn’t much point in havingSneaselnot evolved. It can by far learn better moves likeNight SlashandSucker Puchad has better stats by a distance compared toSneasel. But if you really don’t want to evolve it, then read on.

Well, Sneasel is a greatPhysical attacker, even ingame so its a good thing you EV trained it to max inAttack. Since there is a Move Tutor in BW2, use it to teach your SneaselFoul Play. It is a great move with nice BP and PP, and suitesSneaselreally well ingame. I used it for my Sneasel when playingLC ingameand it worked great. If for any reason you cannot haveFoul Play, then your best bet is forFaint AttackorPursuit.Beat Upisn’t bad but when you can have a stronger move on it, there’s really not much point.
