yes youve seen me before. and thanks for the help, any suggestions on other pokes to fill up my last two spots?

Sweet Candace August 29th, 2007 4:47 PM

An Ice-type would work beacuse you of Dragonite's weaknesses to Rock, Dragon and Ice. The best would be Glaceon or Glalie (or Froslass)

Xairmo August 29th, 2007 4:49 PM

okay an ice type, i'll try to find one

and oh yea, what does a choice scarf do?

sims796 August 29th, 2007 4:51 PM

Increases speed by 50%, but limits you to one move until you switch out.

oh thank you, and do u think i should use a ninjask in my team?

Super Puppy August 29th, 2007 5:38 PM

Ninjask? Maybe... but if you want a good Bug, go with Scizor. But, for your last two Pokemon, I'd suggest Ice-Water and Fire types. Perhaps a Ninetails and a Walrein? Or something along those lines. I dunno.

luke August 29th, 2007 5:57 PM

DON'T USE WALREIN. It stinks. Use Gorebyss. She's hot.

but scizor is a little slow, any suggestions on how to make it faster?



@porygon-Z: what move pool, ev spread, and item would u suggest for gorebyss?

luke August 29th, 2007 8:50 PM

Actually, Gorebyss might be able to make your Scizor faster.

[email protected] [Not good with items...]
Nature: Bold
Ability: Swift Swim
EVs: 252 HP, 252 Defense, 6 Special Attack

Surf
Psychic/Ice Beam
Agility
Baton Pass

I've used this set on my Gorebyss successfully. There's also the sweeper Gorebyss which goes like this:

[email protected] ???
Nature: Modest/Timid (If neurotic about speed)
Ability: Swift Swim
EVs: 252 Speed, 252 Special Attack, 4 HP

Surf
Ice Beam
Psychic
Rain Dance

There you go.

Phoenix Wright August 29th, 2007 8:54 PM

i use gorebyss as a baton passer:

Gorebyss @ Leftovers
Bold
252 Sp. Def/ 252 Sp Attack/ 6 Def
Amnesia
Iron Defense
Baton Pass
Surf

you could also use it as a special sweeper.
gorebyss has the 2nd highest special attack out of all water pokemon.
gorebyss is highly underused for being so good.

thank you very much, so how can gorebyss make scizor faster? do i use aility a bunch of times then use batton pass?
and i think i might wanna use her as a sweeper based on what phoenix wright said. what do u guys think?

sims796 August 29th, 2007 8:57 PM

Phoenix, don't spout lies. Gorebyss has the 36 highest sp.atk of all. Even if it was a joke, don't lie like that. You're only hurting Xairmo.

Phoenix Wright August 29th, 2007 8:58 PM

sorry, i meant to put all water pokemon.
*goes back to fix it*

sims796 August 29th, 2007 9:01 PM

Thats better. You should add "all non uber water pokemon". Kyogre & Palkia beats it.

Xairmo August 29th, 2007 9:02 PM

i think i might go with a gorebyss like porygon-Z suggested:

[email protected]
Nature: Bold
Ability: Swift Swim
EVs: 252 HP, 252 Defense, 6 Special Attack

Surf
Ice Beam
Agility
Baton Pass

it has a good special attack and two good special moves while i can also use batton pass and agility to help my other pokes like a scizor


i was also thinking of using a ninjask by using choice scarf and teching it sword dance and battona pas sto help make my pokes stronger in battle. but would its speed boost also be passed on to the next poke after using batton pass?

Phoenix Wright August 29th, 2007 9:02 PM

well, i dont count the ubers since no one uses them in competitive battle.

sims796 August 29th, 2007 9:04 PM

Good point. Tu'che.

Yes, the Speed Boost and Attack boost from Swords Dance would both be passed on.

Phoenix Wright August 29th, 2007 9:06 PM

you cant use choice scarf on ninjask, it wouldnt help.
you would only be able to use one move and then you couldnt baton pass to anyone.
ninjask already has one of the highest speeds in the game.
just max out its evs in speed and attack.

ninjask @ leftovers
adamant
252 speed/ 252 attack/ 6 def
x scissor
swords dance
substitute
baton pass

just throw out a substitute, try to swords dance behind it but if it gets killed just throw another one out and then baton pass after like 4 to 5 turns.

cool,, i think now im gonna use gorebyss as a spacial sweeper and ninjask to assist my dragonoite in speed and attack. sound good?

luke August 29th, 2007 9:08 PM

Sounds like a plan to me. You seem to have a well-rounded team and it should be successful.
