Electivire can still be a total predator if you're not careful. Other than that, everything's fine.

Oh yeah, Torterra was my Vire Killer. I'll just be cautios.

Ársa November 12th, 2007 5:03 AM

Hmmmm, yes, you have a big vire weakness now that I look at that. Finally someone chooses a special wall other than blissey! Yay! :)

I'm sick to death of n00bs and the like asking for rates with in-game movesets and a team consisting of Blissey, Tyranitar, Dragonite, Salamence, Garchomp and Weavile!

sims796 November 12th, 2007 5:05 AM

Gyarados & Flygon can handle Vire with proper prediction.

Wait, Iceman, why is Flygon losing Speed?

Go with the Miltank, just on the aspect of Speed... The move set is good, but go with Brick Break over Milk Drink... You may not get too many opportunities with Milking the Cow...

My comments will be in Red....

After Review: I'll say this, this team hhas potential to reek havoc on everyone, My comment may be lame, so take it with a grain of salt and use what you know...

sims796 November 12th, 2007 6:29 AM

Well, thanks for trying, but those suggestions aren't too hot.

First, you should never suggest IV's. Thats a major waste. I know the best IV's, & you can never predict those exact IV's. You get whatever's best. Plus, Forretress should never have high SPD IV's.

Shadow Ball is a waste on Noctowl. It can't hit too hard, & both Night Shade & Shadow Ball hits the same things-& both falter to Normal types. Two Ghost type moves suck, & Noctowl isn't meant to hit, but Night Shade allows it to fend off attackers-like Blissey.

Forry doesn't need Toxic Spikes, Gyro Ball is a great offensive move for a slow poke like him, plus, Toxic Spikes isn't a great move, since STEEL & POISON (Gengar) blocks those utterly.

Don't ever underestimate T-wave. 100% paralysis>30&% paralysis, although I'll stick with Nasty.

Finally, I'm not a noob, I know the characteristics.

Thanks for trying, though you may wanna get more experience before rating.

Never said you were a noob... #1..

#2. I thought that looked ok, but again, leave it to me to screw something up...

#3. The Forrest with Toxic Spikes was used against me with some success, where I raped someone else's Forrest for using Gyro... (At the Time, Lucario was at ownage status...)

But again, I knew what was to happen in advance, but still someone's idea is worth something... (:disappoin Oh well.. Can't win them all)

Anyways, HH and enjoy.

sims796 November 12th, 2007 6:45 AM

Well, I appreciate your help anyway. I know you weren't calling me a noob, but thats the impression you give when you tell the IV's they should have, and, especially, the characteristics. Thats common knowledge.

You just need practice, thats all. You're not "bad", but you need to get better.

Raziel_X007223 November 12th, 2007 6:48 AM

Good enough....

Peace for now.. I pretty sure that our path will cross again today at some point in another rate thread...

This is something to consider sims.

Waterfall + Stone Edge

OR

Ice Fang + Earthquake.

work best in terms of coverage.

Waterfall and EQ gets walled by alot. I initially had Waterfall and EQ, however i switched Waterfall w/ Ice Fang and it works wonders in terms of coverage and i got walled alot less thus having to switch out less which = more DD's. Im having the same sort of problem with deciding on what to put on my Tyranitar..........

Also why Wycan berry ? BulkyDos is meant to switch into Heracross and Garchomp etc, not Electivire , so it has no use for it, a one use item which is a waste of a Item slot IMO

Fine. Sleep powder >> Stun Spore due to you not risking to get hit and pull off an Aromatherapy on whatever switches into sleep powder


Just a couple of changes which are in Bold-ness

oreo November 12th, 2007 8:03 AM

although gyarados gets a good stab w/ waterfall, i would go with ice fang 1st for more type coverage.

about the only thing that could wall u with ice fang is bronzong, while waterfall + eq would be walled by anything under the sun. even another gyarados.

and gdos > miltank anyday :D

sims796 November 12th, 2007 9:52 AM

Don't underestimate Miltank. I'll try Ice Fang, you guys seem insistant, at least until I get Stone Edge.

Samson November 12th, 2007 11:26 AM

waterfall + stone edge has better coverage. i'd rather go with that and also, losing STAB sucks =/. rather not be walled by bronzong. i'd go with wacan berry. it's not about who gyara can switch into, it's about who can switch into gyara. if the person is prepared, they'll have a gyara counter, and don't be surprised when something as simple as choice scarf + tbolt/hp electric/shock wave/charge beam/thunderpunch is all they have for a gyara counter. even w/o scarf, a metagross would survive EQ it after one DD and would revenge kill w/ tpunch. it's just not something that you should let happen.

flygon! yay. go with the scarf set if you need speed. otherwise, life orb is just as good. you don't have to make it defensive if you want to give it roost, but the set that Iceman gave you for flygon is very nice. i like subdefensive attacking on sweepers.

explosion on forry is just fine. gyro ball, on the other hand... not a fan of it. i've never had a positive outcome w/ gyro ball. bulky waters/steels/snorlaxes/fires make nothing of it. but that's just my opinion. i eventually got rid of gyro ball and replaced it with light screen lol

your Noctowl must have like infinite manas considering that its hold item is Light Screen XD

sims796 November 12th, 2007 11:38 AM

Damn you ALL! You guys spared no expense to take advantage of my hacked Noctowl's Light Screen!


I think I'll Scarf Flygon. Few pokes outspeeds it, but it becomes less able to handle both Skarmory & Blissey on the switch. Life Orb is good, but it leaves out the speed I crave. I'm conflicted.

Samson November 12th, 2007 11:45 AM

i'd prefer life orb specifically for this team. you have the same problem going on that we discussed -- the need for switching in and out too much. with flygon, you have his weaknesses covered well, so i don't see the need to give him scarf if he can deliver damage before switching out.

sims796 November 12th, 2007 11:48 AM

Plus, I have U-Tub-I mean, Turn, if I MUST switch.

OK, time for me to find that Life Orb. Where in Stark Mountain is it?
