  • I was thinking of building a Rain Dance team, but since Kyogre's an uber, it wouldn't be as good as I'd like. Well, unless I'm missing something.

    I was definitely going to use Kingdra and Kabutops, but I need ideas for the rest of the team. Also, it should be as competitive as possible.

    Any thoughts?

    If i remember correctly, bronzong is a staple member of any weather team. Wait for T_S to update the guide he's making on weather teams.

  • Ludicolo makes great use of the rain, since with Rain Dish + Leech Seed he doesn't really need the Leftovers recovery, therefore he can set up the rain with Damp Rock and then proceed to stall things

  • Hello! I want to know if marowak would be good on a resttalking set.
    Also, when your resstalking does your pokemon use belly drum?

    Marowak @ Thick Club
    Nature: Adamant
    Ev's: 120 Hp, 138 Spd, 252 Atk
    - Belly Drum/Swords Dance
    - Rest
    - Sleeptalk
    - Fire Punch

    These ev's are so I can at least outspeed and 2hko a weezing that is trying to haze me
    . I don't know if they will use Belly Drum in the sleep, will it just waste my hp or say "your Attack Can't be raised any higher".

  • Marowak doesn't Rest Talk. You are walled by anything that resists Fire, and they use you as Set-Up Fodder. (OMG, stares at Curselax and Heatran!)

    Marowak@Thick Club
    Brave
    252 Atk, 252 HP, 6 Def
    Sturdy

    Earthquake
    Stone Edge
    Double Edge
    Fire Punch

    Use it on a Trick Room team. This sweeps stuff. Period.

    Look for the standard set for Skarmory.

    Skarmory@Shed Shell / Leftovers
    252 HP / 16 ATT / 200 DEF / 40 SP.DEF OR 252 HP / 60 ATT / 196 DEF
    Impish nature
    - Brave Bird / Drill Peck
    - Spikes / Stealth Rock
    - Roost
    - Whirlwind

    Id advise Shed Shell and Brave Bird, so Magnezone wont rape you and you can switch out freely. Brave Bird actually does decent damage to alot of things, it ensures Gyarados doesnt lol at you. Stealth Rock if you team struggles with Gyarados and Salamence, or Spikes just to hit everything part from fliers and levitators.

    I would personally use:
    Espeon@Choice Specs
    Timid
    252SpAtt/252Spd/4HP
    Psychic
    Shadow Ball
    Grass Knot
    HP [Fighting]
    There's probably a better set out there, but this could work. Psychic and shadow ball are your staple attacks, while Grass deals with bulky waters and HP fighting deals with Dark types who are immune to your staple attacks.

    You can try EspyJump. I used this for a while

    Espeon@Leftovers / Salac Berry
    196 HP / 122 Sp.Def / 192 Spe
    Timid Nature
    ~ Substitute
    ~ Calm Mind
    ~ Baton Pass
    ~ Psychic

    Set a sub up immidiately to scout what they have as a counter. If you have a Sub set up as a slower opponent comes in, you can freely pass it to an appropriate counter. When facing a weaker special attacker you can begin boosting with Calm Mind, creating an unbreakable Substitute before passing to a sweeper. Zapdos, lucario, Porygon-z, heatran all appreciate these.

    Given the sheer number of Tyranitar and to a lesser extent, Hippowdon and Abomasnow, you may want to carry some weather support on your team if you are planning to use this set. It hinders its ability to take special hits as it negates lefties recovery.

    Salac berry or leftovers, Salac berry has some advantages, that being it allows you sub down to activate it and pass the speed and makes espeon faster than threats, for example if you set a sub up on the switch, and something like weavile comes in you can sub down whilst it breaks your sub to activate salac berry and have an intact sub and + 1 speed which makes you faster and therefore baton pass to safety or hell even calm mind behind the sub and pass that. Leftovers allows Espy to take hits better. So its up to you.

    Evs allow max lefties recovery, 192 evs allows you to outspeed Garchomp, although you can give it more speed (216 EVs) for Mismagius, 347 (240 EVs) for Infernape or max if you want to try your luck against Gengar. Any remaining EVs should go in Special Defense.

    No probs, just make sure you switch out when needs be. The loss of a single poke can screw you over verrrry quickly

    Btw DA im lovin the quotes in your sig ;)

    Hokay I am super new to battling other people, never done it before. :P I would like to give it a shot though so I've been reading everything I can to try and get an idea of what I'm doing. This is what I have (tenatively) planned to use:

    Marowak @ thick club
    252atk/252speed/6hp
    rock head
    adamant nature
    Swords Dance
    Bonemarang
    Stone-Edge
    Double-Edge/Eartquake

    leafeon @ leftovers
    252def/100spdef/152hp/6spatk
    relaxed nature
    wish
    yawn
    leaf blade
    ?

    froslass @ icy rock
    252speed/252spatk/6hp
    timid nature
    hail
    blizzard
    confuse ray
    destiny bond

    tauros @ choice band
    252atk/252speed/6hp
    jolly nature
    intimidate
    sleep talk
    rest
    earthquake
    ?

    vulpix @ quick claw
    252speed/252spatk/6hp
    modest nature
    flamethrower
    dig
    confuse ray
    toxic/will o wisp

    SO yeah, I'm pretty hopeless hehe. Any suggestions are welcome, especially what to use for my 6th pokemon. I'm open to change anything but if possible I'd like to keep at least Leafeon and Marowak.

    Thank you for your time and sorry for my noobishness, I hope I'm doing this right. ^^
