You were really close of getting the perfect Competitive Ambipom, although what stopped you was the ability Pickup.

The IVs are half okay, what mostly should matter for the Ambipom is ATK & SPD. A 2x31 Aipom isn't too bad.

The nature is perfect for a Competitive Ambipom, as it requires Jolly.

 

As recommended above, you'll need to find a Run Away Aipom in order to obtain Technican for Ambipom.

I highly recommend getting anything with the Synchronise ability & Jolly nature for your "hunt."

 

Whilst for moveset, I recommend the "DON'T USE AMBIPOM" set. Yes. That's the name of the set.

 

 

 

[set Details] Maximum Speed investment allows Ambipom to outrun speedy Pokemon such as Delphox and Virizion (though not available), while max Attack investment maximizes Ambipom's damage output. The rest of the EVs go into either defensive stat, preferably Defense to take priority moves better, because Ambipom's current HP is an optimal Life Orb number, so it would be a waste to throw the leftover EVs in HP. Silk Scarf is a perfectly viable alternative to Life Orb, as Silk Scarf does not cause recoil and still boosts Ambipom's main attacks, although its coverage moves will be substantially weaker.

 

[usage Tips] Ambipom is a very straightforward attacker. It checks frail sweepers that lack Protect with its powerful Fake Out regardless of their Speed. From there, Ambipom dishes out quick, reliable damage, with few foes outright resisting its attacks. Although Fake Out is usually quite safe to throw out, it is advisable to only use it if an opponent is certain to stay in, as the threat of a strong Fake Out can easily force out most frail attackers, and nailing the switch-in with the appropriate coverage move can be more practical. Ambipom can struggle to safely revenge kill Pokemon that are behind a Substitute, such as Meloetta, as they can dodge Fake Out's flinching effect. Ambipom also shouldn't switch into non-Ghost-type attack, as it thrives on revenge killing, or if it must be switched in it should at least be brought into battle via slow U-turns or Volt Switches.

 

[Other Options] Ambipom can use the Fake Out + Last Resort combo, but its mono-coverage makes it easy to wall, Last Resort has low PP, and the fact that it must use Fake Out every time it enters battle can allow opponents to easily play around it. Ambipom has Nasty Plot, but it is too frail to set it up safely a vast majority of the time, and it is far too weak without or sometimes even with the boost. Baton Passing Special Attack boosts is done better by other Pokemon, such as Volbeat and Togetic. Ambipom does have a large amount of physical coverage options, though they are very situational over the main ones listed: Seed Bomb hits Rhyperior, Fire Punch hits Escavalier, and Ice Punch hits Flygon, but Ambipom hesitates to get rid of its main moves and risk leaving itself open to even more threats.

121186 Hello guys what moveset you think its good for this aipom/aibipom?

 

 

And btw is it good?

 

That is a really nice Aipom for story line, I would not use it for PvP however, as it has the wrong ability.
