SHIFTRY - CHLOROPHYLL

????
I also need a 6th pokemon.

[Toothache]

You got lucky with those Hidden Powers. (assuming those are the HP types you really have). No EVs or Natures? Oh well, this is in-game after all...

Feraligatr - Adamant, or possibly Naughty if you want to get a bit more oomph out of Hydro Pump. Otherwise fine.

Nidoking - again, Adamant here. Standard CBer.

Shiftry - standard Sunnybeam set. Use HP Fire if you really do have it ingame, does a number on Steels.

Raichu - use Encore with a Quiet or Brave nature. I personally use Brave.

Arcanine - HP Fighting if you can get it ingame.

You're lacking a flying type, or something to give you Ground protection. For this sort of team, I'm thinking Flygon.

Flygon@Choice Band
Nature: Adamant
EV: 252 Att/252 Speed/6 Def
Earthquake
Quick Attack
Rock Slide
HP Flying/HP Bug/Fire Blast

[Lanturn_Trainer]

I don't actually have this team in-game, but I plan to. So those Hidden Powers might not happen(but I'm hoping). Also thanks for your input, and I'll get on it right away.

FERALIGATR - TORRENT
@ Leftovers
~ Swords Dance
~ Earthquake
~ Rock Slide

k. Naughty btw

NIDOKING - POISON POINT
@ Choice Band
~ Earthquake
~ Megahorn
~ Rock Slide
~ Sludge Bomb

Adamant. If your friend uses Gligar put Ice Beam over Rock Slide.

SHIFTRY - CHLOROPHYLL
@ Leftovers
~ Sunny Day
~ Solar Beam
~ Explosion
~ Extrasensory / Hidden Power Fire

Sunnybeaming ingame is meh but if you're battling a friend k.

RAICHU - STATIC
@ Leftovers
~ Thunderbolt
~ Focus Punch
~ Substitute
~ Encore / Thunder Wave

Ignore Toothache as Encore Raichu needs Speed. Focus Punch is quite mehish unless your friend is good and uses Skarmbliss. Hasty

ARCANINE - INTIMIDATE
@ Leftovers
~ Fire Blast
~ Howl
~ Extremespeed
~ Double-Edge / Hidden Power Fighting

Fire Blast/Extreem Speed/Crunch/Filler. Physical Arcanine sucks



You have no Normal resistance. Put Skarmory or Steelix in the last spot. I wouldn't put my hopes up on those Hidden Powers

[Rubberbandman]

I spy a DDgyarados weak. :\

[Lanturn_Trainer]

What moveset would you suggest for Skarmory.

[Lord Mike]

Steelix over Skarmory in my opinion. You could try something like Double-Edge/Earthquake/Rock Slide/Iron Tail.

[aragornbird]

~*^*~~*^*~ ~*^*~ ~*^*~ ~*^*~~*^*~

Terrible Steelix set. He is a physical wall, not a sweeper:

Steelix @Leftovers
Earthquake
Rest
Toxic
Rock Slide

As for Skarmory:

Skarmory @Leftovers
Drill Peck
Spikes
Rest
Roar

You can try Toxic over Roar for additional damage, since Roar’s phasing ability in-game is rendered useless as no one stat boosts.

~*^*~~*^*~ ~*^*~ ~*^*~ ~*^*~~*^*~

[Lord Mike]

This is in-game so that Steelix that you said is good for NetBattle. You all out sweep in-game. :\

[Toothache]

CB Aggron fits well for a sweeping style Steel type.

Aggron@Choice Band
Nature: Adamant
Trait: Rock Head
EV: 120 HP/252 Att/40 Def/98 Sp Def
Earthquake
Rock Slide
Iron Tail
Double-Edge

[Lord Mike]

Aggron is easier to get too. Aggron or Steelix will do.

[aragornbird]

This is in-game so that Steelix that you said is good for NetBattle. You all out sweep in-game. :\
~*^*~~*^*~ ~*^*~ ~*^*~ ~*^*~~*^*~

Yeah, if you’re a noob. Don’t use this “oh, it’s in-game, so I can give Pokemon crappy sets and it’ll be fine.” If your gonna play a game, at least play it well.

~*^*~~*^*~ ~*^*~ ~*^*~ ~*^*~~*^*~

[Lord Mike]

Well, you wated to Toxic Shuffle and in-game that's not the best shot in my opinion. I could understand moves like Calm Mind and Dragon Dance in-game but Phazing isn't the most neccessary strategy in-game.

[Lanturn_Trainer]

I think I will go with Skarmory. But Aggron is not a bad alternative either.

[White Lotus]

Yeah, if you’re a noob. Don’t use this “oh, it’s in-game, so I can give Pokemon crappy sets and it’ll be fine.” If your gonna play a game, at least play it well.


Aragornbird just said the greatest thing ever. Playing crappy in game just to take advantage of poor AI leads to bad habits. Build the pokes the way they should be built and you won't have to take the shower of shame the next morning.

I like the aggron set the 'demented dentist' came up with. I used aggron my first time through the game as i had yet to discover the splendor of skarmory but i didn't choice band him. I like the set overall earthquake/rockslide hits almost everything neutral at least,
iron tail = stab and i love putting double edge on rock heads<hello aerodactyl and marowak> very nice critter <I'm stealing it - don't judge me:paranoid: >

[Fr0st]

If you want a physical wall that can wall outside of game and still ohko in-game then freaking use Regirock...

Regirock@Lefties
~Rock Slide
~Earthquake/Focus Punch
~Explosion/Rest
~Thunder Wave/Focus Punch/Curse

Alot you can do with it...

[Lanturn_Trainer]

I just ran my team through NetBattle.

[Toothache]

Pidgeot, oh no. There are much better flying types out there. Go with Salamence, Aerodactyl, heck even Gligar rocks over Pidgeot. Skarmory gives you physical walling as well.

[Lanturn_Trainer]

I just switched in Steelix.
