More Team Help
Still trying to figure out my team - I haven't bothered working out EVs or items yet, but here it is
Skarmory - Spikes - Roar - Rest - Drill Peck Milotic - Ice Beam - Surf - Recover - Hypnosis MixedMence - Flamethrower - Dragon Pulse - Brick Break - Earthquake Gengar - Hypnosis - Shadow Ball - Energy Ball - Focus Blast Medicham @ Choice Scarf - Thunderpunch - Fire Punch - Hi Jump Kick - Psycho Cut And EITHER Ninjask - Baton Pass - Agility - Substitute - Swords Dance OR Scizor - Swords Dance - Agility / Iron Defense - Baton Pass - X-Scissor I had to put in Medicham because I had Garchomp before, and that left my team with no way of countering Milotic, and an even more serious Weavile weakness than it currently has. I don't particularly like Medicham, so if you can suggest a Physical Sweeper who can learn a good physical Electric / Grass move, who doesn't have a weakness to Ice or Water, please tell me. But yes, the '???'s are free move slots, so help yourselves. Any suggestions would be cool, as long as they're not too abrasive. |
Electivire counters Milotic and Weavile.

NEVER use curse on ghosts...I know you can trap them, but Dusnoir can get killed easily after using it...max HP on it BTW.

Half your team suffers from Ghost types. Gengar doesn't necessarily require both Energy Ball and Thunderbolt, just one of the two will do. Hidden Power Ice could be a substitute to hurt Dragon types, but if it's too much trouble for you to obtain the correct HP, Hypnosis could work. Focus Blast on the last slot, to somewhat hurt Blissey harder.
Unfortunately, Medicham has lost one of its most useful moves in the past gen - the physical Shadow Ball. Its best choice now is Psycho Cut, as it grants Medicham with the opportunity to hurt other Ghost types, plus it gains STAB, so I recommand using it for the last slot. Brick Break is an option over High Jump Kick, but it's your personal preference. While its power is lower, you won't risk the chance in receiving self-damage if you either miss or use it on a Ghost type. Ice Punch instead of Fire Punch, for a physical-based BoltBeam. |
Can Medicham learn Psycho Cut?? And if so, when? It doesn't mention it on bulbapedia.
Thanks for the advice so far btw |

level up a male Kadabra untill it learns the move and Breed it with a female Medicham/Meditite, you will then have a baby Meditite with Psycho Cut. |
Awesome, thanks.
Could risk setting off Milotic's marvel scale with the thunderpunch I'm just realising... |
Quote:
EDIT: Medichams max attack with adamant nature = 240 + Pure Power = 480 (with max speed 259) Medicams max attack with jolly Nature = 219 + Pure Power = 438 (with Max Speed 284) Somehow i dont think Milotics going to be lasting long lol Adamant goes with the Choice Scarf Jolly goes with the Choice Band |
ah yes yes, forgot about Pure, good point.
Although he's a really good option, I'm still not entirely sure about Medicham, since I really don't like him - would there be any other viable alternatives do you think? I thought about Tyranitar, but he's got the water weakness, and only really learns Thunder Fang, which is rather weak, although he is a tank... |

Also, Thunderpunch is pointless since it does as much as a STABed Hi Jump Kick =/ |

So do you think it'd be worth having it there? What's the consensus?
|
Aqua Ring on Milotic instead of Recover?

I may sound stupid, but waht is mixed mence on your team??
|
A Salamence with both physical and special attacks.

Hey guys, what if I were to replace Noir with Skarm...
I'm still working on replacing Cham with a physical sweeper I like... I would LOVE to make it Absol - anyone see problems with him? |
Quote:
Absol doesn't have that awesome Pure Power that Medicham gets, and it doesn't have the diverse choice of moves that Medicham gets as well. And not to mention it's slower. Keep Medicham, and if you still want to lose Medicham, then use Heracross, if anything. But don't use Absol unless you're crazy enough to abuse Super Luck (which really isn't helping much w/o Razor Claw or Scope Lens, and he's too slow to abuse those too) |
Right I'll go with him then.
Ok, first post has been updated - How is it looking now? |
