Tauros, The Wild Bull Pokémon. When it targets an enemy, it charges furiously while whipping its body with its long tails. It has a lot of stamina. Once running, it won't stop until it hits something. Charges while whipping its hefty body with its tails. Although powerful, it can charge only in a straight line. It fights with other members of their herd in order to prove their strength. It is not satisfied unless it is rampaging at all times. If there is no opponent for it to battle, it will charge at thick trees and knock them down to calm itself.
Battle Moveset
A Good Moveset for Tauros would have to be this:
Attacks:
Return
Earthquake
Iron Tail
Hidden Power Ghost OR Fire Blast
Items Attached:
Choice Band
Preferred Nature:
Adament/Jolly
Strategy Using Tauros
Aside from having above average attack and speed
stats, Tauros has a limited movepool.
Equipping choice band allows you to take advantage of
that already high attack.
Even though this set has Iron tail included, it is one
of the few options it can have as a move. Besides
this, Iron Tail has more Super effective hits that
would be Not very effective with other moves.
For the last slot, I suggest HP Ghost (since Return
doesn't hit ghost types and some of the ghost types
may have Levitate, making them immune to Earthquake).
In case you can't get the Hidden power of your choice,
there's always fire blast as an option. mainly as an
anti-Skarmory move, though it will take 3 fireblasts
to Knock Skarmory out.
EV Corner:
Max out the EVs in Attack and Speed for Tauros with any remaining in HP
Strategy Against Tauros
Tauros, fortunately for its opponents, has quite a few
a small move pool of effective moves, which means its
move pool probably won't have much variety. Earthquake
and Return (or Double-Edge in some cases) tend to be
on every competitive Tauros, usually accompanied by an
effective Hidden Power.
- Shoving Skarmory in the way of Tauros tends to be a
good way to begin, since you deny Tauros the ability
to get a super effective with a physical attack. His
Fire Blast isn't particularly strong (3KOs Skarmory)
so that isn't much to worry about. Failing Skarmory,
you should have a Pokémon available with a nice
physical defensive stat who won't take a super
effective hit from Earthquake. Since the most
effective Tauros carries a Choice Band, if you can
force it against a Pokémon it isn't very effective
against you can get a free turn by forcing it to
switch.
- As for taking down Tauros, hitting at its Special
Defence is the way to go, or failing that, scoring
super effectives with fighting typed moves, pretty
simple and straightforward.
