Well, I think I finally have a decent team in mind. Here goes.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v634/Gamerman/Pokeyman/474.gif Porygon-Z @ Choice Scarf Adaptability Modest 252 SpAtk/ 252 Spd/ 6 HP -Tri-Attack -Ice Beam -Thunderbolt -Dark Pulse One of my first bred Pokemon. As such, I didn't really know what I was doing, and bred him with Modest nature. Since there's not much he can outrun, I figured that I could scarf him to get past common threats. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v634/Gamerman/Pokeyman/149.gif Dragonite @ Lum Berry/ Yache Berry Adamant 252 Spd/ 200 Atk/ 56 HP -Dragon Dance -Outrage -Fire Punch/ Fire Blast -Earthquake Another of my first breeding projects. As such, he was bred with Adamant. Hopefully, I can re-EV him with the given spread to get as much speed as possible. He has Fire Punch currently, but I'm not sure I should replace it with Fire Blast yet. Lum Berry for continuing Outrage, or Yache Berry for surviving Ice Beams while Outraging or setting up... I can't decide. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v634/Gamerman/Pokeyman/466.gif Electivire @ Expert Belt Adamant 252 Spd/ 252 Atk/ 6 HP -Earthquake -Cross Chop -Ice Punch -Thunderpunch Yep, this is the exact Vire that I got from PBR. I'm considering breeding him for Lonely nature and Thunderbolt. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v634/Gamerman/Pokeyman/477.gif Dusknoir @ Lefties Careful 252 HP/ 76 Def/ 180 SDef -Fire Punch/ Thunderpunch -Shadow Sneak -Will o' Wisp -Pain Split My Special Wall. He has Fire Punch, but I'm not sure if I should replace it with Thunderpunch. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v634/Gamerman/Pokeyman/464.gif Rhyperior @ Lefties Solid Rock Impish 252 HP/ 252 Def/ 6 Atk -Earthquake -Stone Edge -Megahorn -Stealth Rock I needed a Stealth Rocker and a Physical tank, and Rhyperior fits the bill quite nicely. I think... http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v634/Gamerman/Pokeyman/121.gif Starmie @ Lefties Natural Cure Timid 172 HP/ 120 SpAtk/ 216 Spd -Ice Beam/ Thunderbolt -Recover -Rapid Spin -Surf Meh, I need a Rapid Spinner. On a side note, Starmie is the only Pokemon here that hasn't been bred yet. Tear it up, guys. |
Donphan is also a physical tank (or wall, whatever) Who can both Stealth Rock & Rapid Spin. (And steal hits with Ice Shard :P)
Just a suggestion. |
I'm gonna be honest, most of it looks pretty good, though, I'm not too keen on Rhyperior using stealth rock, or Starmie using rapid spin. I think you may want to consider Foretress, as a spiker, and a rapid spinner. (Two, two jobs in one! *echo*) He's got good typing and way above average defense and HP. He should be able to soak in some hits (especially earthquake), just make sure he stays away from flamethrower, which really shouldn't be that much of a problem seeing as fire is fairly uncommon. And when he's about to kick the bucket, explode. Just a suggestion - I'll leave all the uber criticism to everyone else. I'm too lazy. x]
|
Alright, so I'll replace Starmie with Forretress (I need a steel type anyway), and take SR off of Rhyperior. What should I replace it with? Roar?
|
My Rhyperior has substitute, outside of that it's almost a mirror image of your Rhyperior. I like sub on him because in some cases they take two hits to bring down, and if you're able to force a switch, subbing with him can be really beneficial. Just make sure his DEF and HP are up to par. Another option is avalanche, since Rhyperior goes second almost always, it's basically like pounding your opponent with blizzard, minus the craptastic accuracy. Hope this helps.

Starmie @Life Orb/ Petyta Berry
Natural Cure Timid 120 HP/ 132 SpAtk/ 252 Spd -Ice Beam -Thunderbolt -Substitute -Surf |
Yeah, I think I'll replace Starmie with Forretress, and maybe put Rock Polish on Rhyperior.
Oh, I forgot to ask before, but who should I use as a lead? I'm not sure Porygon is right for the job. |
I take it you want a solid, fast special sweeper? Or a fast Pokemon in general? Consider Alakazam, Gengar, or Jolteon for special. Heck, maybe even Weavile to start. He strikes fear into almost all that oppose him. Basically you have to stand and fight him, unless you want pursuited. Just a few more suggestions. =]
|
Actually, I meant which Pokemon on my team should lead. I'm not sure how good Porygon is at leading.
|
Ohhh. Well, a normal Pokemon isn't a bad lead. He's only got one weakness, even if he is a bit slow. It's all about battle and testing. Try him out as lead a few times, and if he gets picked off pretty quickly, then play around with some other Pokemon in your team as lead and try to find the best Pokemon for the job.
|
give porygon less speed and more HP. it's gonna need to be able to take hits once in a while.
i'm tired of that same electivire set ._. -- i gave mine taunt and it's a complete monster + lefovers. less speed and more hp. i wouldn't give rhyperior a full physical set aside from SR. i'd give it protect to scout for moves. |

Same thing for Weavile - most Weavile leads pack a Focus Sash, so even if you do manage an OHKO somehow, your efforts may be in vain. Looking at your team, Dragonite would be the best lead. He's surprisingly bulky, so he wouldn't take too much damage from a Pursuit, and Ice attacks you can flee from with ease. And on that note, be really careful when you see a Weavile, since besides Rhyperior, most of your team crumbles to him. Dusknoir can scare him away with Will-O-Wisp, but he takes a bit too much damage from a Night Slash, or if you're unlucky enough to switch him out on a Pursuit. |
You're right about the Weavile weakness. A friend of mine swept my entire team with a Focus Sashed Weavile. :( (although I didn't have my entire team at that point: I was using Porygon, Dnite, Gallade, Vire, Slowbro, and Dusknoir)
Perhaps I could replace Starmie with Metagross? Bullet Punch would be great for finishing off pesky Focus Sashers. |
Starmie is a particularly bad Rapid Spinner; it'll take enough pain from the spikes/stealth rck on their own.
