Since I'm back...I might as well post my improved team...
 
Uh, yeah. Should look familiar, but plenty of changes. 3rd Gen BTW.

[email protected] Berry**Hydromotor
Trait: Swift Swim
Modest Nature
EVs: 252 HP, 240 Special Attack, 18 Speed
~Rain Dance
~Surf
~HP Electric
~Ice Beam

QUICK QUESTION: Is a 15 IV in special attack enough?

Kingdra is my special sweeper, and can take a hit too. HP Electric takes out most bulky waters, excluding the likes of swampert, but it's a good pokemon. Not the star of the team, but it can inflict some deadly damage if it can set up and the special wall is taken care of *coughblisseycough*.

[email protected]**Hypyes
Trait: Insomnia
Calm Nature
EVs: 252 HP, 252 Special Defense, 6 Special Attack
~Reflect
~Light Screen
~Thunder Wave
~Psychic

Hypno is my special wall and pseudo-passer. Reflect and Light Screen give my team a little more bulk, and thunder wave slows down sweepers so my other pokemon can be set up to take out the opposition. Psychic is for STAB. The ability is great because I can absorb sleep attacks I suspect are coming, like gengar and hypnosis. My set up pokemon really.

[email protected]**Chromo
Trait: Sturdy
Impish Nature
EVs: 252 HP, 252 Defense, 6 Attack
~Earthquake
~Explosion
~Rock Slide
~Roar

My all-out physical wall. I've been toying with the moveset, but I like it this way. Gengar totally walls it though. It really can take the nastiest physical hits and survive. With reflect up, it has a maximum 1096 defense I think. Pretty much invincible, until the special sweeper comes out. NOTE: It is EV trained at level 100, but I need great help with that dang moveset.

[email protected]**Superior
Trait: Rock Head
Relaxed/Adamant Nature
EVs: 240 Attack, 160 HP, 110 Defense
~Megahorn
~EQ
~Swords Dance
~Rock Slide

Rhydon is my physical tank. Works best when I can switch in on something like zapdos and get a free SD turn. Can inflict some heavy damage, and Rhydon is way cool. I hope it can wall some physical sweepers that can't take a hit. Not much to say really.
However, I'm really unsure about the EVs and moveset. It has a 31IV in both attack and HP if that means anything.

[email protected]**Tank-Elite
Trait: Torrent
Bold Nature
EVs: 252 HP, 36 Defense, 216 Special Defense
~???
~Mirror Coat
~Surf
~Rapid Spin

Uh, a tank. Need help with the first moveslot. Maybe ice beam or toxic?

[email protected]**Dragondoom
Trait: Inner Focus
Jolly Nature
EVs: 200 Speed, 100 Special Attack, 136 Attack, 74 HP
~Dragon Dance
~Thunder
~Aerial Ace
~Earthquake

Dragonite counters the pokemon the rest of my team struggle with for the most part. I was thinking of using it as my lead, but I'm not so sure, especially about the moveset and EVs...and nature...and item. Thunder for skarm...

Okay, so it has a bit of flaws. I was thinking of using umbreon as a wisher and trapper, but 3 pokemon weak to fighting bug me. I'm open to all suggestions, though I don't take all of them. Usually I do if they are...smart, or make sense in any way. I feel I'm getting closer to a great team. Closer, and closer...but not there yet.

I am very bad at 3rd gen teams, but I will say that 15 isn't enough. It's only enough to almost KO an opponent, in the red, so you can curse & wish it did more.

Anti September 8th, 2007 8:42 PM

Dang, time to rebreed for Hidden power...and IVs. Joy. Right now rhydon is my focus. Should I replace it for umbreon (or something else for umbreon), or keep it? I have a feeling my rhydon isn't all too great as far as EVs and moveset are concered? It's a lot like rhyinferior, so could somebody help?

EDIT: BTW, thanks Sims.
