Umbreon and Hypno as BPers
 
EDIT: Anyone? This isn't a RMT or anything...just a yes/no question...

Okay, I was thinking of this for my team I'm making in 3rd gen.

[email protected]
Trait: Syncronize
Bold Nature
EVs: 252 HP, 252 Defense, 6 Special Defense
~Mean Look
~Baton Pass
~Wish
~Curse

Okay, this is pretty standard. At least mean look and BP are.

[email protected]
Trait: Wonder Guard (no, I'm kidding, Insomnia is the real trait)
Calm Nature
EVs: 252 HP, 252 Special Defense, 6 Defense
~Calm Mind
~Baton Pass
~Psychic
~Thunder Wave

It gets BP from XD, from admin Gorigan.

So here was my thought: I have steelix on my teams almost always as my physical wall. I feel it could be a lot more useful if umbreon gave it wish support as well as the benefits of curse. That way it could take CBed EQs much better, and maybe be able to take out metagross or stuff like that.

You all also probably know Kingdra is also seen on all of my teams. I figured it could receive CM from Hypno, as it's my special sweeper, and could be a much more effective attacker. Thunder Wave would also give kingdra enough speed on the opponent to not need to set up the rain.

So here's my question, which will probably turn plural here in a minute: Is this BP strategy flawed or can it work? I have two open slots on my team, so the two others could also benefit. Let's say I incorperate Scizor into my team. Then it receives curse as well and gets a major attack and defense boost. That's just hypothetic though. In case you don't understand my strategy,
here is my team so far:

[email protected] Berry
Trait: Swift Swim
Timid Nature
EVs: 252 HP, 252 Special Attack, 6 Speed
~Rain Dance
~Surf
~HP Electric
~Ice Beam

[email protected]
Trait: Sycronize
Bold Nature
EVs: 252 HP, 252 Defense, 6 Special Defense
~Curse
~Mean Look
~Wish
~Baton Pass

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

[email protected]
Trait: Insomnia
Calm Nature
EVs: 252 HP, 252 Special Defense, 6 Defense
~Baton Pass
~Calm Mind
~Thunder Wave
~Psychic

So yeah. Can my BP strategy work?

So are you planning on adding a BPing Scizor if you use Hypno and Umbreon as BPers as well or not?

In any case, BPers help out the team greatly, unless the opponents are (P)Hazing constantly then you should have no problem beefing up pokemon that need to be (or some that don't but its fun to anyway)

Just a UU Trick roomer, I guess. Umbreon look's fine.

Anti September 9th, 2007 5:22 PM

Well, in emerald you can'ty get trick room...so my srategy can work? Scizor was a hypothetical pokemon, not someone on my team. But yes, any good pokemon that benefit from the BPers I'd like to know about. Thanks.
