Original 151 Team - Your Thoughts?

[Silverman]

Hey guys, I am kicking it old school. I have always enjoyed my Pokemon Blue over a lot of the other releases. I am currently play Platinum (waiting for Soul Silver) and want you to take a look at my team. I decided to keep my team old school and use Pokemon #1 to #151.

No no no! Snorlax doesn't want Psychic. Un-STAB Psychic is pretty much useless. Gengar doesn't want Physical moves like Sucker Punch. Get rid of Hyper Beam on Raichu it's set-up fodder for your opponent only Porygon-Z can pull that off and even on that it's still set-up fodder the same goes for Giga Impact on Snorlax. Pretty much using EQ on Pokemon with Special attackers is bad unless they're a suitable mixed sweeper Earth Power is the Special equivalent of EQ. Also without any Rapid Spin support you can forget about using Charizard.

Also a sweeper wants to be EV'd in Attack or Special Attack depending on what end of the spectrum it attacks from usually and in Speed. There are some exceptions to this so check Smogon before you decide to use any certain Pokemon. You also failed to provide Your Pokemon's specific EV spread, their natures, and a brief description of what they do on the team. We need that info to give you a proper rate.

Ill give you 24 hours to actually be specific with the evs because that is kinda important. "ev'd in def and hp" could mean ANYTHING. So yeah get that done for me and i wont have to lock this.

Well, your going to want entry hazards so that you can help with sweeping. And, also, what natures do you have on all your pokemon? It makes big difference.

Good, just this doesn't make a good lead to be honest.

GENGAR
Substitute
Shadow Ball
Focus Blast
Hypnosis / Hidden Power Fire
Leftovers / Levitate / Timid
Sp. Atk 252 / Spe 252 / HP 6

Hypnosis' accuracy is pretty shaky, but I guess.

RAICHU
Thunderbolt
Hidden Power Ice
Grass Knot
Focus Blast
Choice Specs / Static / Timid
HP 6 / Spe 252 / Sp. Atk 252

I would say outclassed by Jolteon, Zapdos, and the like but Raichu is able to kill Tyranitar with Focus Blast.

VENUSAUR
Sleep Powder
Leech Seed
Energy Ball
Sludge Bomb
Leftovers / Overgrow / Bold
HP 252 / Def 6 / Sp. Def 252

If this works.

BLASTOISE
Surf
Rapid Spin
Toxic / Foresight
Ice Beam / Foresight
Leftovers / Torrent / Bold
HP 252 / Def 252 / Sp. Atk 6

Foresight to ensure that you get to spin rocks because Rotom-A can be a big pain.

CHARIZARD
Flare Blitz
Earthquake
Dragon Dance
Roost
Life Orb / Blaze / Adamant
HP 252 / Spe 252 / Sp. Def 4

Most special moves will do tons to you anyway (see: Water, Electric, Dragon, etc), and Charizard really needs the speed if he wants to sweep. Charizard doesn't have the typing to be a good bulky set up sweeper.

Comments in bold ↑, couldn't find much moveset errors so that's good.

Also, you might want a Stealth Rock user to stop Gyarados and Salamence (both of which tear apart your team).

Might come back for a threat check if I'm not too busy.

Interesting, I see what you mean.
I will make most of your changes!

Stealth Rock is absolutely necessary. It keeps the metagames top threats from swicthing in too freely. Your Charizard loses 50% of it's HP each time it switches into Stealth Rock which is why you need a Rapid Spinner if you wish on using it.

Snorlax wants Curse somewhere probably. Choice Specs would be a good item for because Gengar is a bit frail more so on the Physical side but you wouldn't run Sub on that kind of set.

Another option for Charizard is Belly Drum but that takes mighty good prediction to pull off.

What's this then?

Not every Snorlax needs Curse to be effective.

Choice Specs would be a good item for because Gengar is a bit frail more so on the Physical side.

Choice Specs Gengar sucks now mainly because of Pursuit users being everywhere, and in general Life Orb / Leftovers Sub is much better. It can be used, it just really isn't that viable.

My original 151 line up was made up of the level 100 super Pokemon of this generation before the battery died.

Pokemon Red

Mew
Mewtwo
Dragonite
Moltres
Articuno
Zapados

This line up was bad against a ghost/anti-flying line up but it was very powerful and I did not loose a battle. It was a bit cheap though as it had the strongest pokemon in the game.

I still have my yellow version working and I restarted it. Now I got.

Level 36 - Pikachu
Level 36 - Charizard
Level 27 - Mew
Level 35 - Kangaskhan
Level 31 - Snorlax
Level 25 - Pidgeotto

I like the line up but I hope to replace Pidgeotto with Moltres before the pokemon league.
