EV Training is necessary for success. Please learn how to do it or you'll never win a competitive battle.

I don't think it would do us much good to rate this team. Learn more about competitive battling, then make a new team.

OK, get rid of any Plates or things like Mystic Water and such. They hardly give a bonus, your better off with things like Life Orb, Expert Belt and so on.

Drop Aqua Tail off of Milotic as he is inadept at physical moves. And try getting a Milotic with the Bold nature (decreases Attack for Defense).

For Porygon-Z get one with Timid nature (decreases Attack for Speed) as Adamant just hampers its power.

As for Glaceon get rid of Ice Fang as he is inadept at physical moves.

As for Salamence, he is more adept at Physical moves but having Draco Meteor can get some Physical walls as people would often expect him to know only Physical attacks (AFAIK).

I'm not going to comment on this team. I'm just not going to. You need to learn ev training, and you need to get better items, and tyranitar = outrage? since when can tyranitar learn outrage? anyone tell me? because i don't think it learns it.

He learns it as an egg move. In addition he could learn it since Generation II.

Actually, SpecsMence is fairly common, I hear.

Salamence @ Choice Specs
Modest
252 Spd/ 252 SAtk/ 6 HP
- Draco Meteor
- Dragon Pulse
- Flamethrower
- Hydro Pump

Switch in, Draco Meteor, get out. Don't forget, Mence has 110 base SAtk- not bad at all.

EDIT: Yep, Tar learns Outrage. I remember when breeding for my DDTar, all of the offspring knew Dragon Dance and Outrage.

You need to learn the concept of giving pokemon better items and giving EVERY pokemon that you use Evs. Don't worry, i had to learn the hard way, so your not the only one.

P.S I do not EV train any of my pokemon.

So yes, i have explained what i mean. So sorry if you thought i was too harsh on you.

Weavile w/ Ice Shard, Ice Punch, Night Slash and Brick Break + Magnezone w / HP Fire, Thunderbolt and Magnet Rise DESTROYS your team. Maybe a Donphan or a Hippowdon would suit well. Regirock w/ 252 hp / 80 def / 176 sp.def, Careful, under Sand Stream, would stop cold that combination. Consider one of those three. Glaceon, even being UU, is overrated, he sucks at life. Replace him for one of those walls. MixApe >> PoryZ, he could stop Weavile and Magnezone cold after a Nasty Plot, but he wouldn't survive Magnezone's TBolt.

I think it's possible... but there's a lot more to it than just EV training. There's IVs, Natures, and certain Egg Moves.

Even then, that doesn't guarantee a good team. Why? Because of what I just said: TEAM. Your Pokemon have to be able to work together and cover each other's weaknesses. Just throwing 6 favorites onto a team just doesn't cut it.

Errm, it need def evs and modest on sleep talk due to Marvel scale . AND MAX HP always with Res-Talk, this spread hits the magic def number and still have enough sp.att to ohko Chomp etc....it already has enough sp.def

Milotic (M) @ Leftovers
Trait: Marvel Scale
EVs: 148 HP / 228 DEF / 132 SP.ATT
Bold Nature

Even if its not physical walling, it still needs bold or you have yourself a "Failotic". Bold is a must on all no Rest-Talk milo sets, unless you run a novelty sp.walling set, but i all honsety it has better things to be doind, namely dual walling.


Also why is rest even considered when we have recover

Salamence @ Choice Band

Metagross is one of the few pokes you DO NOT SCARF, it has better options 99.9% of the time, its like scarfing Salamence.....

And my knowledge on Glaceon is sub-par.

Are you sure its just Glaceon ?



Sorry Itachi, but that is really a sub par rate, it has move that are illegal, moves that are lol, and moves/Evs that just made me say "wtf" and have no use on the poke they are on.

I believe Millie generally functions as a Dual Wall, or a general bulky water. I think there is a Special Wall set for her, though.

Anti Pop Culture Warrior

How is Milotic not a special wall? :/

Because it gets absolutely squashed by Grass Knot and Thunderbolt, and powerful special attacks in general. Azelf, Raikou, Zapdos, Porygon-Z, Alakazam, Gengar...all run it over. CMers like Mesprit can drill it too.

Milotic is much better for taking physical hits along with special hits, it can't really wall only one side of the spectrum well IMO. If you play to its strengths (Marvel Scale, good stats, decent movepool with Recover and Hypnosis...) it can really work.

Not much really does cut it as a special wall these days, but Milotic just...has trouble, at least doing just that. As a bulky water, it is tremendous.

EDIT: You can smash special walls with Mirror Coat Milotic, actually a pretty good set, but very risky. But as a true special wall...meh.

My Milotic is not that good being a special wall, he always faints after one hit from super effective hits like thunderbolt and giga drain, very rarely he survives them. But I'm still ev training him and teaching new attacks so maybe that will change.
I'm talking about a lv 50 all battle.
