    Conan (Houndoom) needs a better moveset.

    Current one:
    Flamethrower
    Faint Attack
    Fire Fang
    Crunch

    Prolly gonna switch out Fire Fang with Nasty Plot once he hits 60. Dunnow what do to with Crunch/Faint Attack tho. Surely I don't need both, and I'm leaning for him to be more S. Attack than Attack.

    Also, sixth pokemon need. Can't think of too many that won't add too many weaknesses to my current team. That and since all my Pokemon are Johto, adding a Non-Johto Pokemon to my team will make me feel weird. D:

    BUT OTHERWISE. MY GAME IS GOOD. HO-OH AND MEWTWO CAUGHT WITH POKEBALLS WHEEEEEEE~

  • Dark Pulse in place of Faint Attack/Crunch if you still have the TM...

    Perhaps a status move like Roar, Attract, or Will-O-Wisp for the fourth moveslot? SolarBeam is pretty useless without Sunny Day, and Thunder Fang wouldn't work so well with it being a Special Attacker.

    As for a sixth Pokemon... Normal and Electric only have one type weakness, assuming you don't already have those types on your team. Problem is, Houndoom is weak to both Ground and Fighting, so either way, you'll have at least two Pokemon that share the same weakness...

    IDK if can get a good moveset for Smeargle. xD -sucks at predicting people's moves-

    I'll check. c: And alrighty then. I'll see 'bout that as well.

    I already have Ampharos on my team. I was thinking on having a Normal Pokemon on my team (Smeargle. XD). Though it would put me down for another fighting indeed. If it helps, here's the team below:

    Bellossom; Feraligatr; Houndoom; Ampharos; and Espeon

    I was thinking something that doesn't put down many more weaknesses, and can get a ground move (for electric types). Johto preferably as well. XD Normal was an idea, and Heracross popped up as a decent idea as well. Has cons, but some pros as well.

  • Normal could work, because at least you'd only have two weak to Fighting. Two weak to a type is fine, three or more isn't a good idea.

    And Miltank can learn Earthquake.

    Hn... Miltank sounds good and Whitney had shown several times that Miltank can be quite good. It'll give me an advantage to Ghosts as well. Defintiely considering it. |3

    And I always have Red (Espeon) to counter Fighting types. -snugs Red-

  • Sixth Pokemon - Should probably be a Flying type, if you ask me :3 But don't go with Pidgeot--too overrated. A Skarmory would be a good choice, and I believe it's exclusive to SS. Maybe. I forgot. But I know it's in SS, since I looked it up.

    As for moveset, it would be best with Sp. Atks. (geez, it looks more like an Attacker to me like Feraligatr :/). And thankfully, its Lax nature raises Defense and lowers Sp. Def. rather than lowering Sp. Atk., so there's nothing to worry about there.

    NOW ONTO THE MOVESET.

    Nasty Plot
    Flamethrower
    Dark Pulse
    Toxic (I'd say Will-o-Wisp, but Flamethrower already has a chance of burning the foe)

    Not the best with movesets, honestly.

    Look good, Rossu-Pie! I'll prolly toss in Toxic then, since it'll soon be learning Nasty Plot, and I went with what both you and LeSabre suggested and have Conan Dark Pulse. c: I don't know about having a flying type. Skarmory did look like a good choice while I was looking at Pokemon, but I don't think Skarmory can learn any Ground Attacks, which is a major part of why I'm looking for a sixth Pokemon, so I can wipe out Electric Pokemon easier. Miltank with Earthquake seems like the best idea so far.

    I would have two dark types if I got Murkrow. D: That and I already have a Honchkrow on my Pearl team. c: Will agree that I luffles it. <3
