[FinalPaladin]

oh i see,thats clever!! soz never thought of that

 

[Zero°]

OK, I'm building another team, hopefully, this one is better than the last one:


Kingdra~Modest~ @Petaya Berry
Ability: Sniper
Hydro Pump
Ice Beam
Dragon Pulse
Dragon Dance
EV's 252 Sp Attack/126Defense/126SpDefense

I'm thinking of making Kindra my team leader/Special Sweeper It's typing gives it coverage against ice, which is good. and Dragon Pulse does good damage+Stab, same for Hydro Pump

Ursaring~Adamant~@Life Orb
Ability: quick feet
Brick Break
Shadow Claw
Ice Punch
Swords Dance/Bulk Up
EV's: 252Attack/252Defense/6HP

Ursaring is my Physical Sweeper in this team. Brick Break gives it coverage againts rock/normal types, Shadow claw incase any SP attack Poke's are thrown in, like Alakazam. Ice punch for Dragons/Birds that can cause serious damage for my team.

Togekiss~Modest~Soul Dew
Ability: Hustle
Aura Sphere
Air Slash
Shock Wave
Roost
EV's 252SpAttack/252SpDefense/6Speed

Since it's ability is Hustle, I gave it Aura Sphere, because it never misses+Hustle boosts power.

Blissey~Bold~Leftovers
Ability:Natural Cure
Thunder Wave
Seismic Toss
Softboiled
Psychic
EV's:252Hp/252Defense/6SpAttack


Spiritomb~Gentle~
Ability:Pressure
Dark Pulse
Shadow Ball
Calm Mind
Torment/Taunt
EV's:252SpAttack/252SpDefense/6Defense


Donphan~Adamant~
Ability:Pickup
Stealth Rock
Rapid Spin
Earthquake
????(Sugestions with 4th move please)
EV's:252Attack/252Defense/6Speed

Kingdra~Modest~ @life orb

draco meteor

I'm thinking of making Kindra my team leader/Special Sweeper It's typing gives it coverage against ice, which is good. and Dragon Pulse does good damage+Stab, same for Hydro Pump

Ursaring~Adamant~@flame orb
Ability: quick feet
facade
Shadow Claw
Ice Punch/EQ
Bulk Up
EV's: 252Attack/252Defense/6HP

Ursaring is my Physical Sweeper in this team. Brick Break gives it coverage againts rock/normal types, Shadow claw incase any SP attack Poke's are thrown in, like Alakazam. Ice punch for Dragons/Birds that can cause serious damage for my team.

Togekiss~Modest~ dunno what item to use but why soul dew?
Ability: serene grace
aura sphere
Air Slash
Fire blast/flame thrower/Shadow ball
Roost
EV's 252SpAttack/252SpDefense/6Speed

Since it's ability is Hustle, I gave it Aura Sphere, because it never misses+Hustle boosts power.
Hustle boosts power of physical moves only so it doesnt affect aura sphere

Blissey~Bold~Leftovers
Ability:Natural Cure
Thunder Wave
Seismic Toss
Softboiled
ice beam
EV's:252Hp/252Defense/6SpAttack


Spiritomb~carefull @ focus sash

hypnosis/Taunt
EV's:252SpAttack/252SpDefense/6Defense
I love this set as its so destructive and good at killing big sweepers


Donphan~Impish~lefties
Ability:Pickup
Stealth Rock/Knock off/Roar
Rapid Spin
Earthquake
ice shard

EV's:252HP/252Defense/6atk

There you go changes in bold

 

[Dark Azelf]

Kingdra~Adamant~ @Life Orb
Ability: Sniper
Hydro Pump
Outrage
Waterfall
Dragon Dance
EV's 252 att / 236 speed /24 sp.attt

I gather you dont know what Dragon Dance does ? Take advantage of it, your evs make no sense.

Ursaring~Jolly~@Toxic Orb
Ability: quick feet
Close Combat
Fire Punch
Facade
Swords Dance
EV's: 252Attack/252speed/6HP

Take advantage of Facades side effect, STAB and Toxic Orb which also activates quick feet. Close Combat > Brick Break. Fire Punch >> Ice Punch. Again wtf @ your evs.



Togekiss~Modest~Leftovers
Ability: Serene Grace
Aura Sphere
Air Slash
Nasty Plot
Roost
EV's 252 HP / 152 Sp.A / 104 Spe

No, just no. Hustle doesnt effect special attacks and sucks nor does Soul Dew effect ANYTHING bar Lati@s. Again evs lolwut?

Blissey~Bold~Leftovers
Ability:Natural Cure
Thunder Wave
Seismic Toss
Softboiled
Flamethrower
EV's:252Hp/252Defense/6SpAttack

Psychic sucks.


Spiritomb~Careful.~
Ability:Pressure
Taunt
Sucker Punch
Pain Split
Will-o-Wisp
EV's:252 HP / 144 DEF / 112 SP.DEF

Stone Edge / Assurance
EV's:252HP/252Defense/6Speed

Comments in bold.

Ughh there is so much with this i dont know where to start.

Ill just give you some advice.

Firstly i suggest doing some research before rushing head long into things, namely what certain moves and items do. This will benefit you in the long run.

On defensive pokemon you max out hp in 99.9% of circumstances.

Too many set up sweepers is never a good thing.

Your evs should reflect what the pokemons role is. Not just allocated randomly like on Kingdra and Ursaring mainly, who are sweepers yet you give them def evs ? That is beyond pointless.

Team is metagame weak anyways, we have a team building guide AND a threat list in the stickies i suggest you use those you will find them helpful.

Ill link you here too.

Be patient :/

Azumarill (M) @ Leftovers
Ability: Huge Power
EVs: 240 HP/16 Atk/100 Def/152 SDef
Careful/Impish nature
- Waterfall
- Perish Song
- Body Slam / Toxic / Knock Off / Light Screen
- Body Slam / Toxic / Knock Off / Light Screen

Support Azu. I have used several variations of this on my stall teams.

 

[Zulo]

Can anybody help me with this?

Skarmory
Moveset: Agility, Spikes, Whirlwind, Stealth Rock

Basically, it needs to boost its speed a bunch, lay some spikes and stealth rocks, and continuously whirlwind pokemon in and out. Of course it won't work on flying types but... How do I keep him alive that long? I can get rid of either spikes or stealth rock if necessary, and I'm not usre whether to use leftovers or a focus item. And should I give extra HP IVs or Sp.Def, since fire and electric are his main weaknesses?

Thanks for any help, I'd really like to give this moveset a try.

It is best to post EV spread and nature, since it does matter a lot on how the moveset works. Anyways, I would suggest Roost over Agility so you wall out certain Pokémon while you are trying to set-up your entry hazards. It also allows you to last longer, and maybe set-up again if the opponent Rapid Spins your Spikes and SR away. Using SR or Spikes depends on what your team needs. Leftovers is better than Focus Sash (Focus Band relies WAY too much on luck), because SR makes sure that you do not have 100% HP before the opponent attacks for Sash to work. Even if SR was off the field, it is inferior to Leftovers due to Skarmory's bulk.

Also, do not add extra EVs in SpD (you should have max HP EVs regardless though), it limits your use to wall physical stuff (which is what Skarmory is supposed to be doing), and Pokémon with decent SpA will OHKO or 2HKO anyways.

[Roy G. Biv]

This is a fun Pokemon I've been using on Shoddy just for the novelty of it. Any suggestions to make it better?

Victreebel@Leftovers
Jolly
Cholorophyll
252 Spd/252 Atk/4 HP
Leaf Blade
Sleep Powder
Swords Dance
Substitute

Basically, you set up a sub, sleep and then SD up. Leaf Blade will be tearing through teams before you know it. This guy has the potential to take down two or three guys if set up correctly. You can go for Adamant but then you won't be outspeeding much. Still, Sunny Day support is a huge, HUGE plus with this set. Sub can be replaced with Return for more type coverage or even Sunny Day if you don't want that to be the theme of your team (then of course Heat Rock would be a better item I guess :/) but I prefer sub for the staying power. Lefties helps compensate for some of the HP cut from Sub. Yeah, that's about it :D

While Sleep Powder can be effective, you're better off using Sucker Punch. It gives you some much needed coverage and ensures you aren't totally walled by pokes that resist your STAB. The priority is also cool.

Also consider Life Orb > Leftovers, as Victreebel will need all the power it can get. Don't worry too much about survivability as it's pretty fragile to begin with.

So to sum it up: Bring Victreebel in on something it can scare, Substitute, Swords Dance, and try to sweep stuff. Keep in mind that Cacture arguably runs this exact set much better.

 

[Mirrored Mirror]

A quick pair that would go nicely with each other.

Magnezone @ Focus Sash
Mild
188 Atk/252 SpA/68 Spd
Explosion
Mirror Coat
Thunderbolt
Flash Cannon

Focus Sash almost gives an advantage to every one of Magnezone's moves. 1) It can Explode before its knocked out (OHKO almost guaranteed). 2) Mirror Coat will ALWAYS be a OHKO on anything that isn't named "Blissey". Thunderbolt coming off a 394 Special Attack stat plus STAB is pretty much an OHKO on Blastoise, Dewgong, and possibly Tentacruel without that Calm set. Flash Cannon will always 2HKO if not 1HKO Regice. Thunderbolt is your only option when going against Registeel if it ISN'T running that hardly used Special Attacker set. The good thing for Magnezone is its poison immunity when it can wall Blissey (although it can wall back) if it doesn't however go out with a BANG and KO that thing.

You really shouldn't be concerned about Blastoise, Dewgong and Regice when it comes to your calculations. :(

Sucker Punch >> Sub. It needs that priority and use Adamant @LO

Here's a Starmie I'm thinking of using

Starmie @ (Item undecided, so suggestions are welcome)
Modest
4 HP/252 Sp Atk/252 Speed
-Psychic
-Surf
-Ice Beam
-Recover

Looking for some constructive critiques.

That's basically LOStar, don't run Psychic as the coverage is crap.

Starmie@ Life Orb / Expert Belt
EV : 4 HP / 252 SpAtk / 252 Spe
Nature : Timid
-Hydro Pump / Surf
-Thunderbolt / Grass Knot
-Ice Beam
-Recover

That should work ;)

 

[Subsolar]

If you're raising a pair in the wild, one battling and one in the party holding Exp. Share, are the Effort Values split between the two or given only to the battler? Same with double battles, do they split EVs or get none at all...? Any response is appreciated--

 

[jigglyppuff8]

Each Pokemon will get the same amount of EVs and it won't be split. If you KO a Pokemon that gives 1 HP EV and a Pokemon in your party is holding an exp. share. They will both receive 1 HP EV. Same if it were 2 EVs; they would both get 2 EVs each. Make sense?

 

[Subsolar]

Yeah, makes complete sense. It's a small detail, but it doesn't look like it's included in any FAQs or the like. Thanks

 

[XLoGyBeArX]
