What would be more suiting for shuffle on Articuno, RestTalk or SubRoost? (It gets SR and spin support, I'll might consider Qwilfish for Spikes and even T-Spikes)
This is for NU of course.

 

[HunterX101]

Need some confirmation.

Glaceon@ Leftovers
Bold/Modest
252 sp.attk/ 126 Def/ 126 Sp.Def(Or HP)
Icy Wind
Hidden Power (Ground is what im going for)
Barrier/Wish
Fake Tears

Underlined parts are what im looking to manipulate...

Wish would be great to support my team, But Barrier makes him a Great wall with Leftovers.

EV's need some work too.. Any Advice is appreciated.

 

[Dark Azelf]

Barrier sucks, use Wish please.

Is it impossible to have two breed moves?

 

[Dark Azelf]

Is it impossible to have two breed moves?

No, put both on the Male and it passes both down. You can pass down up to 4.

 

[HunterX101]

Yes but how do you get 2 on a male if only males can pass them down? and females determine what pokemon it is?

Breed egg moves onto something that has other egg moves for the poke you want. o_o

Ok thanks the Visual explanation helped.

Another Rate My Team thread.

Alright, so, getting this out of the way, this isn't a complete team; it's 4 Pokemon. But I'm in the middle of building it, and I want an outside opinion on if what I'm creating is worth following through with.

It's ridiculously difficult to build a team of your favorite Pokemon and try to make them competitive, but I'm trying and it's not going so bad.

Hitmontop w/ Leftovers
Adamant Nature
Technician
Hp-241
Atk-317
Def-227
Sp.Atk-95
Sp.Def-256
Spd-239

-Fake Out
-Mach Punch
-Bullet Punch
-Aerial Ace

Priority Technician. IS Aerial Ace good to keep in there? Seems a little random. I was thinking something like Pursuit to kill psychics (Base Damage is 40 so Technician would kick in) Or Sucker Punch (which seems a little better because even though it's not Technician targetable it is a conditional increased priority move.) Or I could put in straight up beat down with Stone Edge to KO Flying threats, although it doesn't fit in with priority or Technician. Should I just keep in Aerial Ace?

-Earthquake
-Swords Dance
-Double-Edge
-Stone Edge

My Sweeper. Earthquake for STAB, Swords Dance for ridiculous Atk, Double-Edge for straight damage, Stone Edge for Flying types. I feel I messed this one up a little. I sacrificed maxing out his Atk for upping his Spd, who knows though, he might work out. Not much else to say as this one is pretty self-explanatory.

-Surf
-Slack Off
-Light Screen
-Ice Beam

My Special Wall. From what I've heard, this combination of ev'd Sp.Def Slowking can take two Slamence Draco Meteors and live; haven't tested that yet though. I am kind of Anxious to see how this one will work out, I know I have much more choices in Special Walls, but maybe someone with more Slowking exp. can tell me about him.

Cacturne w/ Brightpowder
Careful Nature
Sand Veil
Hp-???
Atk-???
Def-???
Sp.Atk-???
Sp.Def-???
Spd-???

-Sandstorm
-Double Team
-Swagger
-Toxic

Not sure having a Pokemon without any attacks is a good idea, but I'm considering him. Just using his Sand Veil for evasion along with Double Team, Swagger to buy time and hit some damage, and Toxic to kill things while he can't be hit.


And that's what we're dealing with. Any thoughts?

Rock, Ice, Steel, Earth.

This is a very important thread. I LOVE the Regi's always have since they came out. Regigigas was a fantastic addition to the small archtype IMO. So Now in this Current Gen of Pokemans, I need to make a competitive team of the four amazing golems. This is what I have so far...

Regirock w/ Leftovers
Relaxed Nature
Clear Body
Hp-301
Atk-236
Def-548
Sp.Atk-136
Sp.Def-299
Spd-122

-Stone Edge
-Stealth Rock
-Hammer Arm
-Toxic

Regice w/ Leftovers
Sassy Nature
Clear Body
Hp-301
Def-299
Sp.Atk-236
Sp.Def-548
Spd-122

-Ice Beam
-Amnesia
-Hammer Arm
-Toxic

Registeel w/ Leftovers
Relaxed Natures
Clear Body
Hp-301
Atk-186
Def-438
Sp.Atk-186
Sp.Def-399
Spd-122

-Flash Cannon
-Iron Defense
-Hammer Arm
-Toxic

Now, the Three Regi's are carbon copies of each other. Each with a STAB move, a defensive move, Hammer Arm for SLASH, and Toxic (Because I'm a First Gen fan, and in the First Gen Toxic = Victory no matter what, I still like to believe it's still the case.) Yeah I know it's kind of dangerous to have three of your pokemon know basically the same moves, but that's why I'm posting. I'd like to see your ideas on how I could mix up the movepools of my Regis and separate them a little to make use of their AMAZINGLY high defenses. (My Registeel is maxed in Def instead of Sp.Def because two of the three super effective types are physical. Bad idea?) Also should they be holding a different Item?

Regigigas w/ Leftovers
Adamant Nature
Slow Start
Hp-424
Atk-460
Def-256
Sp.Def-176
Sp.Atk-256
Spd-236

-Crush Grip
-Giga Impact
-Earthquake
-Zen Headbutt

Crush Grip and Giga for STAB and to utilize it's Atk, Earthquake for SLASH and maximizing it's Atk, and Zen Headbutt for Fighting Types. Bad movepool? Thoughts? I'd love to hear 'em. Or just flat out tell me the Regi's are NU and to stop wasting my time (which would make me very sad.)

Also, this part is very important, I need to know what other two pokemon to put in my team. Baton Passers? I have no idea what pokemon would be a good choice for back up.

 

[RTHookers]

I have a team but I want a spinner, what do you think might fit in the best?
Swampert / Skarm / Vappy / Raikou / Latias / Rotom-H
Also I was wondering what can I replace with ScarfTran on this team?
I just replaced it with Raikou but I think I should go back or replace Lati with it.

 

[JFK]

is there a breeding chain that will give a bulbasaur this egg move set grass whistle/powerwhip/leafstorm.

 

[RTHookers]

Umm those moves suck
First use sleep powder
second decide you're going either physical or special. Power whip is physical and Leaf storm is special.

 

[Dark Azelf]

Dont use Aerial Ace on Technitop, use Close Combat or you will be REALLY weak vs tanks and walls.

@ RT, Vap seems like really useless there so id prolly replace that. Since Latias and Rotom cover what it does apart fromWish but all your team has recovery vs pert soo. Also id use Scarf Rachi for Trick (stop last poke sweeps) and to cover your foe Latias weak.

 

[Kiedyn Bmyoan]

Are there really no major threats against "Technitop" (ha, that's cool, I like that.) that would require him to take on anti-Flying or Anti-Psychic moves?

 

[RTHookers]

@ RT, Vap seems like really useless there so id prolly replace that. Since Latias and Rotom cover what it does apart fromWish but all your team has recovery vs pert soo. Also id use Scarf Rachi for Trick Last poke sweep stopping sounds very well to me. Curse Clops just saved my butt on a NU battle.
So ScarfRachi with Trick instead of Vap..
Also where can I put Tran there because the team doesn't have a revenge killer.

 

[Dark Azelf]

Well Fake Out + Bullet Punch nails most ghosts and psychics. Stone Edge would fit over Bullet Punch if anything for flyers, but thats kinda hard to pass up. There is Sucker Punch if you really wanna hit psychics and ghosts, but most of them have Sub and because Sucker Punch doesnt hit non attacking moves its makes it easy to set up on you so yeah. Really up to you what you wanna hit but you really need Fake Out/Mach Punch/Close Combat/<slot for what you wanna hit> basically

 

[Kiedyn Bmyoan]

Does Low PP become a problem a lot in competitive? Would 8 PP suffice for sweepers and such?

 

[Opposite Day]

It all depends - in Ubers for instance, where Pressure is the most common ability, low pp might become trouble for stuff like Ho-oh w/ their eight shots at Sacred Fire-ing stuff into oblivion gets cut down to four shots. If you are really afraid of running out of pp, do as Machamp, run a restalk set and get 16 more chances at using the attack you wanted to use. ;D

What are you talking about?

Also to anyone who was paying attention to Technitop, is Leftovers the best thing it should be holding?

And if anyone could Rate my team that got skipped a page back I really need some help on those.
