A Ruby Team

[TheFrozen]

I want to make a team for my Pokémon Ruby. I don't want to use ubers nor legedaries as I think they are... weird o_O;; Anyways, I am not good at which natures nor moves a pokémon should have so i have written the team as good as I can.

I do have: PKMN Colosseum, XD, FireRed, Emerald and Box if it is to any help. O_o;;

Here is the Team:

- Swords Dance
- Sky Uppercut
- Rock Slide
- Overheat

http://www.pokemonelite2000.com/pkrs072.gifAggron @Choice Band
- Earthquake
- Rock Slide
- Double-Edge
- Iron Tail

http://www.pokemonelite2000.com/pkrs186.gifKingdra
- Dragon Dance
...

I want to use my fav pokémon so... this is pretty it except that I am short of one O_o;; Any suggestions? And can anyone help with this team? >.<;;

[Alter Ego]

Natures would help a lot.

Good enough, although I prefer FB over Overheat since it lets you stay in longer.

http://www.pokemonelite2000.com/pkrs072.gifAggron @Choice Band
- Earthquake
- Rock Slide
- Double-Edge Focus Punch
- Iron Tail

Between STAB Iron Tail and Rock Slide it really has no use for Double-Edge. Focus Punch for the CB set, if you predict right that's a nice little pile of damage. Otherwise, you could try the standard:

Aggron @ Leftovers
Nature: Adamant/Impish
Rock Slide
Earthquake/Focus Punch
Thunder Wave
Substitute

http://www.pokemonelite2000.com/pkrs186.gifKingdra @ Leftovers/Petaya Berry
- Dragon Dance Rain Dance
- Surf
- Ice Beam
- Substitute/Toxic

Sorry, but I'm going to strike out the only move you decided on. With its horrendous physical movepool, Kingdra doesn't like DD. Go with Rain Dance, in rain it can outspeed every non-uber in the game, which is pretty cool. Too bad it lacks good special moves, though. It's okay, but nothing to write home about.

Thunderbolt
Focus Punch/Surf
Thunder Wave/Wish
Substitute

Meh, Raichu...not much you can do with it, but still...if you can get access to Surf, then it could provide some much-needed special power, if not, just go with the standard subpuncher.

http://www.pokemonelite2000.com/pkrs147.gifBanette @ Leftovers

Shadow Ball
Will-O-Wisp
Knock Off
Destiny Bond/Protect/Screech/Snatch

Ah...there would be lots of fun to be had with Banette if they hadn't given it such a terrible physical movepool. Oh well, Shadow Ball provides some nice damage and Will-O-Wisp is great for protecting it from physical sweepers and adding a bit of extra pain to the deal. Knock Off is great against pokes that have held items, but I don't know how many of those you'll face...oh well, it's worth keeping. For the last move, Destiny Bond is nice enough, Protect can help you with annoying stalling tactics, Screech can leave the opponent vulnerable to Shadow Ball (Or attacks from your other physical attackers) and Snatch can be used to steal the opponent's buffing or healing moves, which is nice since Banette has no real method of HP recovery. If you don't want Knock Off, then you can always put another one of those fillers into that slot instead. ^^

Nyah, what this team lacks is a proper walling type, so pokes like Milotic, Lapras, Swampert, Meganium, Steelix, Donphan, Venusaur, Snorlax, Slowbro, Miltank and Claydol are all possibilites. Basically, just take your pick out of the bulky high HP, high defensive pokes out there and put it in. Name the poke and I'll give you a set too. ^^

[TheFrozen]

Ok, a claydoll it will be, it is psychic/ground that the team miss O_O. And I can try with a surf raichu but i just need to store about 1500 pokémon into pokemon box first O_o;;

And what natures do you suggest on the pokemon? O_O;;

[Alter Ego]

1500..? Ouch, that's harsh. .___. Oh well, it will be effort well rewarded if you do it. ^^ Anyways, on a Claydol moveset...

Claydol @ Leftovers
Nature: Relaxed

Earthquake
Ice Beam
Reflect/Light Screen
Rest

Reflect or Light Screen depending on what kind of attackers gives you more trouble (Since you've got Banette with Will-O-Wisp I'd say that would be special attackers.). Rapid Spin is often put there competitively, but it's not much use ingame. Explosion also works over Rest, but since you don't have any other walling types I'd say that Rest is what you need here. ^^

[TheFrozen]

I found a good way of getting surfing raichu quick, Just store so many pokémon I can in on egame and then save. After link to the box and transfer them. SAVE. Then transfer them back. SAVE.. and so on. o_O I think it works. I looked it up on gamefaqs XD

And what do you suggest as natures for the other pokémon. If aggron is a choice bander he should be Adamant right? O_o;;

Oh yes, natures...Aggron is Adamant, yes. Same for Blaziken (Although you could also try Naughty or Lonely on that one if you don't want to cut down its fire power) Kingdra should be Modest since Swift Swim grants it all the speed it needs, and Banette should probably be Impish. For Raichu, I'm not quite sure...I guess if you go with Surf then Timid, Modest, or possibly Bold. For Focus Punch...probably Relaxed. Not quite sure about that one, though, since I don't use Raichu a lot.

[TheFrozen]

So this is how the team should look?

Banette (F) @ Leftovers

[Alter Ego]

So this is how the team should look?

Yeah, that looks right to me. Leftovers for Raichu and you're pretty much set. ^^

[TheFrozen]

Then I thanks you for your help and get going with getting this team for my pokémon Ruby ^__^

[Synchronize]

I wouldnt shun out Aggron's Double-Edge too quickly if it it has Rock Head trait. We're talking in-game, so you might find it hard pressed to use a CB'd Focus Punch effectively and Consistently. There's nothing wrong with the set suggestions though, Alter. Great job.

[Rubberbandman]

someone must have overlooked the fact that blaziken has no overheat and still holds a white herb IMO
