Battle Tower

[Clobarr13]

OK... I felt like taking on the Battle Tower... So I have some questions... Btw... I can't do anything about natures/ egg moves... Please don't go there... Thanks...
First of all, is this a good Swampert moveset?

Swampert **Leftovers**
Nature: Bashful
-Earthquake
-Ice Beam
-Protect
-Surf

Earthquake and Surf for STAB. Ice Beam for good damage to grass/flying.
And the almighty Protect. Can't tell you how many times it saved my butt from Destructo-Weezing. Also good against Slaking. Protect when he attacks, attack when he loafs. Works all the time. I missed out on Curse when I first started with it. Don't feel like breeding to get it.

Second, I can't really make up my mind on other pokemon to have. I normally use Gardevoir as a second choice.

Gardevoir **Twistedspoon** (HELP!)
Nature: Gentle
-Calm Mind
-Psychic
-Shadow Ball
-Double Team (Hypnosis maybe?)

Lastly, I need a last pokemon... Here's some that I have level 35-50 that I could train:
-Ampharos
-Sceptile
-Aggron
-Flygon
-Dusclops
-Claydol
-Lunatone
-Hariyama
-Feraligatr
-Exploud
-Wailord
-Medicham

Remember, not much I can do about natures/ egg moves... I might be willing to on these, though... Maybe
Thanks in advance.

-Hypnosis

Yes, Hypnosis is your best Bet. No need for Shadow ball.

Personally I would use Metagross or Aerodactyl. Both give you the attacking edge that you are currently lacking, as well as covering a slight need to take normal and flying type hits. Metagross does this better, but Aerodactyl can at least dodge enemy Earthquakes and outrun just about anything you're going to encounter in the Tower.

Ok... cool... thanks.
I forgot to mention it, but I do have a Metang at level 30... I really don't know why I never trained it...
So, umm, any ideas for Metagross? (Lv. 50 Battle, btw)

And I might be thinking of replacing Gardevoir... she lets me down... alot...
As for a new pokemon, I'm stumped...

Metagross: Meteor Mash/Earthquake/Rock Slide/Explosion. You can use this with a Choice Band or use Agility over either Rock Slide or Explosion and use some other item. Lum Berry usually works well.

I dont really have any ideas on replacing Gardevoir atm.

[shanecdavis]

The problem with Metagross is that it doesn't learn Meteor Mash until Lv55, so you cannot use it in the Lv50 Battle. I would use Salamence or Aerodactyl, as Synch suggested.

Replacing Gardevoir is tricky. You could go with Alakazam or Gengar, but then you are running pretty frail defensively on the special side. I typically go Cursepert/McGar/Hyplotic.

[kintar]

Metang learns Meteor Mash at lvl 50, so just prevent it from evolving for 5 levels.

[shanecdavis]

Metang isn't Metagross. You are comparing a base Atk of 75 to a base Atk of 135. Using Meteor Mash, a CB Metang can do max damage of 314 to Snorlax (68%). CB Metagross though does max damage of 464 to the same Snorlax (OHKO). That is a HUGE difference.

Save Metagross for the Open Level Battle.

BTW - Okay, I see what you are saying. I haven't tested it, but it makes sense that at Lv50, Metang learns Meteor Mash, and then it evolves into Metagross. Sigh. Brain wasn't thinking.

That's alright your still kewl shane! <3

Ok... thanks for all the imput, you guys.
Currently I'm dominating with Swampert, Gardevoir (decided to keep), and surprisingly Camerupt.

Swampert @Leftovers
-Earthquake
-Surf
-Protect
-Ice Beam

Gardevoir @King's Rock (still trying to replace)
-Psychic
-Calm Mind
-Thunderbolt (nice OHKO after CM'ing. Thanks, Synch)
-Shadow Ball (noticed that it doesn't learn Hynosis until Lv. 57 or something)

Camerupt @Quick Claw
-Earthquake
-Flamethrower
-Rock Slide
-Tackle (any ideas?)

Although I have 2 Earthquakers, Camerupt does put a stop to any Grass poke that Swampert can't take out with Ice Beam. I usually don't even use Gardevoir/Camerupt, as Swampert basically owns nearly everything.

[shanecdavis]

Kirlia learns Hypnosis at Lv47, since you need to breed for Modest Nature anyway. It should also hold Lum Berry. Camerupt will fail you too often when you get up into the 50s where the decent Pokes are.

I say use Salamence.~*~*~*~*

My name is shane and I agree with the above post.
