Request an Individual Moveset / Incomplete Team Help Thread

[Skip Shot]

I've been running a Blissey on the CAP server with the following set:

Blissey @ Leftovers
Calm Nature
252 Def/ 176 HP/ 80 SpD(or the other way around)

Softboiled
Aromtherapy
Ice Beam
Seismic Toss

I'm mainly using it as a cleric, but its easily walled on the CAP server by Steels, especially the new CAP. Should I switch Ice Beam to Flamethrower? Any other comments are appreciated as well.

Uhh... can I get some help with this?

Blissey is supposed to be a sponge, not a sweeper, of course she's gonna get walled by things, use a sweeper, if you don't have any left, well then you're SOL. That's what I've found at least.

I don't really know what you were trying to get at, but.... Yeah.

Flamethrower really works better for ToxiStalling sets, but otherwise, you shouldn't be dealing with Steels aside from Heatran, which is immune to Flamethrower. Ice Beam is really important for keeping out Dragons, taking down Lati@s and general coverage. Thunder Wave could help to cripple troublesome switch-ins, but you probably want to keep Aromatherapy.

Is this a competetive team or one for ingame?

 

[lolwut]

Im thinking i could possibly use it for competitive if i raised the levels and got a different moveset but for now it would just be for ingame.
EDIT: im getting rid of luxray and i need someone else. Who should it be? its pretty much finalized for everyone else. Im planning on getting the steelix at victory road and training it, i have a staravia right now, i have a prinplup, i have a kadabra, i have a gastly, so all i need is just one other guy to take down water and other stuff

Anything works for ingame. To be honest, I don't see this having much success competitively. When you build a competitive team you have to think about natures, EVs, IVs, moves, and what role the Pkmn is going to play (sweeper, tank, etc.). After you beat the league, then start asking about team building if you want to battle on wifi.

If there's one thing I learned about the elite four, it's this: 40 Hyper Potions, 20 Full Restores, 30 Revives, and any team will beat them :P

 

[lolwut]

Okay sounds good, but... i started a new game cause i realized i wanted to pick chimchar as my starter cause there are no fire types before the elite four other then like ponyta which i hate. And i realized i shouldve got a shinx from the start and a budew
Ok so heres my planned team now that ive restarted
Infernape
Staraptor
Alakazam
Roserade
Golem until victory road then steelix
Gyarados

Honchkrow instead of Staraptor will save you problems...having a dark type really helps for psychics and he has high attack and speed. The only thing you miss out on is Staraptor's Close Combat, but Infernape has it anyway.

I'n my double battle 4x4 sunny day team I'm using an infernape for my final attacker. I'm thinkining
@Choice Scarf w/ Brave Nature
Stone Edge - Fire Blitz - Close Combate - Heat Wave

Will this be effective?

Brave on Nape is bad. Speed is one of Napes biggest selling points, don't hinder it. Give him Lonely or Naughy for more attack, Mild or Rash for higher Special Attack, or Hasty or Naive for more Speed. Infernape doesn't need high defences, so take away from those rather than speed.

I was wondering, when a sandstorm is up, what types get the Sp. Def boost from it? Or is it just Tyranitar?

It's all Rock Types. T-Tar is just the only one with Sand Stream that can take advantage of that boost.

 

[Brown]

But if I scarf him doesn't the speed reductions...not matter at all?

I'll consider a nature that lowers special defense to up attack with an orb though

And for the move set, should I bother having heat wave or should I go with another physical attack? :O

The team looks like Dusknoir, Shiftry, Cherrim, and Inernape fyi :P

You guys think this could be decent for a lead?:

Hariyama @ Leftovers
204 HP / 180 DEF / 124 ATK
Adamant/Brave + Thick Fat/Guts
~ Sub
~ Focus Punch
~ Whirlwind
~ Fire Punch

Basically a slow bulky pokemon to take almost anything that switches or gets phazed in, and a slow pokemon for STAB SubPunching is really nice. Fire Punch is for Scizor because the chances of it switching in are big compared to any other pokemon. Thoughts?

 

[~Fire Eagle~]

Since I'm waiting for my Pressure Point team to get approved my the moderators, I'm just going to give you a good Pokemon I need to get analyzed so here it goes.

Name: Aagron
EV's: 4 HP/ 252 Attack/ 252 Speed
Sturdy + Relaxed
+ Metal Burst
+ Stone Edge
+ Focus Punch
+ Protect

 

[Detox]

Um.....If your using a Focus Punch I reccomend you use this or the smogon standard one

Aggron @ Leftovers
Adamant Nature
Sturdy Ability
252 Atk / 252 Spe / Rock Polish
-Substitute
-Focus Punch
-Stone Edge
-Iron Head / Metal Burst / Rock Polish
