rate my team?
this being my first "rate my team" thread, here it goes!
feel free to critique/rate as much as you want i'm in need of some help (but please try not to tell me to switch pokemon, unless you seriously think it's neccesary, thanks =) ) ---- [email protected] Sludge (i don't have the item yet but i am going to get it for him) -Mean Look -Toxic -Fly -Confuse Ray [email protected] nothing as of now (suggestions?) -Eruption -Subsitute -Focus Punch -Earthquake [email protected] Lens -Waterfall -Dragon Dance -Ice Beam -Hydro Pump (i don't think i'm going to need a lot of help on Kingdra any more, unless there's something to replace hydro Pump with considering i have Waterfall already) [email protected] nothing right now (suggestions?) -Flash Cannon -Magnet Rise -Zap Cannon -Lock On [email protected] Ball -Shadow Ball -Embargo -Psychic -Trick [email protected] nothing right now? -Stone Edge -Iron Tail -Stealth Rock -Double Edge alrighty there they are! |
Erm... Iron Tail sucks on any pokemon.
Kingdra is a Rain Dancer, take advantage of its Swift Swim. If it gets the speed boost, it gets to be one of the fastest pokemon in the game. |

So far i'm really liking your help guys!!
@ ultranerd: the Iron Ball with Banette went with Trick, to switch out items but i don't like that idea i had with him- it's too stupid and hard to pull off. So i'm stumped on what to do with my banette, it's a great pokemon but i have no idea what i can do with him.... BTW where can i get an Expert Belt? Also- on Steelix, EQ stands for....? I kept double-edge because his Ability is Rock Head so he doesn't get recoil, so i can take advantage of the heavy damage dealing move. Should i really get rid of it? @ Everyone else: Dang i didn't realize i'd get a bunch of help SO quickly hahaha thanks And yea, i know, all of my movesets were pretty much failures which is why i came here for help! i'm not the best with strategy movesets hahaha thanks for all the input |
EQ stands for earthquake. with STAB, it gets more power than double-edge, so yeah, get rid of it...and sturdy comes in handy for beating OHKO n00bs who try to sheer cold you to death :)

but i'm probably going to get rid of it and go with making him hold IronBall, with the moveset Gyro Ball, EQ, Stealth Rock and Roar. Is that pretty good? |

Bannete does almost nothing for this team. If you want a trick user: Zam @ Choice Specs Trait: Synchronize EVs: 4 HP / 252 Spd / 252 SAtk Timid Nature (+Spd, -Atk) - Psychic - Shadow Ball - Focus Blast - Trick I think it is... |

the ones i'm having problems with now are Magnezone and Banette... |
Quote:
It's pretty obvious what the roles are. I guess I'm supposed to puit -SPECIAL WALL- on blissey now? Sorry, but that's rediculous. I can answer that question for you; magnezone is a great boltbeam resist and skarm counter, and can boltbeam itself. Basically a special tank. For the record, fly is for the annoyer crobat...though it fails, it actually was standard on it O_o If you would've btohered to read, iron ball is to use trick and slow down opposing sweepers :/ eDIT: Sorry, got nothing on banette. I'm teh n00b with banette, so...it's just a poor NU poke that dies in OUs. I'd replace, unless you find a really good way to use it. |
Quote:
also yea magnezone was going to be my special tank, but what is the boltbeam stuff? is the boltbeam moveset the one you gave me with thunderwave, thunderbolt, sub, and flash cannon? and yea, it's ok! i'll figure out something with banette or find something to replace him with, i like ghost pokemon on my team (at least one) and he seemed good....but maybe i'll reconsider! |

I still don't see the point of putting Iron Ball on Steelix after it was suggested TWICE and after it was mentioned that it does NOT lower speed, ergo, does NOT increase Gyro Ball's power. Just give Steelix a Brave nature and you're set, unless you're not into that kinda stuff.
But, hey! There's a new... newbie in the community! Respectful and considerate to raters... That's so cool. We're getting more of those these days. Good for you, for us, and the rest of the community. For your ghost Pokemon, I suggest as a special tank: Mismagius @ Leftovers Trait: Levitate Modest Nature - Thunderbolt - Energy Ball / Hidden Power [Ice] / Will-o-Wisp / Calm Mind / Destiny Bond / Shadow Sneak - Shadow Ball - Pain Split |
Macho Brace, however, will half Steelix's speed and therefore resulting in a stronger Gyro Ball.
Kingdra - Surf / Waterfall - Icebeam - Rain Dance - Dragon Pulse / Hidden Power [ELECTRIC] |
Quote:
I'd say "no" to the physical Kingdra. Therefore, Surf >>> Waterfall. DD on Kingdra would be useless. The Atk bonus would only benefit the 7, that's right, 7 physical moves Kingdra learns, and the Spd bonus would be next to useless in rain. |
Waterfall takes care of a lot of Special Walls like Blissey. I still don't see why its so bad.
|
Waterfall is decent for getting blisey, but it has a pretty decent shot at outstalling you anyways, unless you've DDed so much it can't really do anything.
As for steelix, iron ball and macho brace ar both a waste really...if steelix can't heal with lefties, it'll have a tough time. Not to mention that without rest or wish support, steelix will easily get smoked. |
@Azonic:
It's just that so many other Pokemon pull it off better than Kingdra. Salamence or Garchomp, for example. Those are good mixed sweepers. And Kingdra's physical movepool is just too small, and the best moves I can see besides Waterfall are Return/Frustration and Flail. Ludicolo walls this well, I'm afraid, and so might Bronzong. But if it's for the novelty and necessity of taking down Special Walls or just Blissey in particular, it could still work. @Anti-Pop It only takes 3-4 Seismic Tosses to get rid of Kingdra. If Kingdra can't buff up enough to take down Blissey in 3 turns with DDs and a Waterfall, then it's done for. I can't imagine Kingdra winning a face-off with Blissey, unless Scope Lens was allowed and the Waterfall with Sniper bonus OHKO's Blissey. |
