My New Team
 
I haven't started to make this team yet, because I want to know how I could make it better. Please be as harsh as you like =)

Weavile @ Choice Band
Adamant Nature
252 Atk 252 Spd 4 Hp
Ability: Pressure
Ice Punch
Pursuit
Aerial Ace/Brick Break
Swords Dance/Fake Out

I thought that by abusing Fake Out, my opponent would most likely send out Gengar, at which point I could use Pursuit. Ice Punch for STAB. I couldn't decide between Aerial Ace and Brick Break, but I will probably go with Aerial Ace for help with fighting pokemon.

Bronzong @ Leftovers
Sassy Nature
252 Hp 128 Def 128 S.Def
Ability: Levitate
Stealth Rock
Hypnosis
Gyro Ball
Earthquake

Nothing too special about this.

Probobass @ Leftovers
Bold Nature
252Hp 128 Def 128 S.Def
Ability: Magnet Pull
Thunder Wave
Rest
Flamethrower
Flash Cannon

I thought that by using Magnet Pull and Flamethrower, Probobass could easily take down Skarmory. Thunder Wave and Rest are for annoying and HP, obviously. Flash Cannon for rock pokemon and STAB.

Skarmory @ Leftovers
Careful Nature
252 Hp 100 Def 152 S.Def
Ability: Sturdy
Spikes
Whirlwind
Roost
Drill Peck

Pretty Basic.

Sceptile @ Choice Specs
Modest Nature
252 S.Atk 252 Spd 4 Hp
Ability: Overgrow
Energy Ball
Dragon Pulse
Hidden Power [Ice]
Focus Blast

It was hard finding a moveset for Sceptile. HP [Ice] for dragons and flying pokemon. Energy Ball for STAB and along wth Dragon Pulse and Focus Blast offers good type coverage as far as i can see.

Infernape @ Life Orb
Naive Nature
252 Spd 128 Atk 128 S.Atk
Abilty: Blaze
Close Combat
Grass Knot
Fire Blast
Stone Edge

Again nothing special.

hmmm i've noticed ur a tad vire weak.... adn i don't like probopass's 4x weakness for fighting and ground too...

how does dragon pulse add to coverage??? it only super efeective on dragon whit u have hp ice for

El Gofre November 19th, 2007 12:59 PM

yeah probo is a good wall apart from 2 quad weaknesses, just make sure you switch at the right time or try and fit protect in there to scout if you're unsure

Phazon November 19th, 2007 1:03 PM

Well not much resists dragon. I had trouble with that set. Maybe I should go with a subseed Sceptile..

Imo, if I can take out Skarmory with that Probobass and deal anymore damage after that, it will be worth it.

Um, dragon hits every type except steel :/ I'd call that good coverage...

Weavile @ Focus Sash
Jolly Nature
252 Atk 252 Spd 4 Hp
Ability: Pressure
Ice Punch
Pursuit
Brick Break
Swords Dance

If you want Fake Out abuse, use a CB Technician Ambipom. Standard Swords Dance Weavile lead

Bronzong @ Leftovers
Sassy Nature
252 Hp 128 Def 128 S.Def
Ability: Levitate
Stealth Rock
Hypnosis
Gyro Ball

Rest
Flamethrower

Skarmory @ Leftovers
Impish Nature
252 Hp 252 Def, 6 Atk
Ability: Sturdy
Spikes
Whirlwind
Roost
Drill Peck

Pretty Basic.

Since when is it basic to have a Careful Skarmory with Sp Def EVs, this thing is designed to absorb Physical hits, and that's all it should be doing

Sceptile @ Choice Specs
Timid Nature
252 S.Atk 252 Spd 4 Hp
Ability: Overgrow
Energy Ball
Dragon Pulse
Hidden Power [Ice]
Focus Blast

It was hard finding a moveset for Sceptile. HP [Ice] for dragons and flying pokemon. Energy Ball for STAB and along wth Dragon Pulse and Focus Blast offers good type coverage as far as i can see.

Where oh where is your special wall... Probopass And Bronzong do the same job, remove one for Blissey or something similar

Phazon November 20th, 2007 9:58 AM

I changed the team today. I realised I was lacking a special wall and with EQ and Close Combat being used so much, Probobass was really unpractical. I also realised I was horribly weak to fire. I removed Probobass and Skarmory and replaced them with:

Blissey @ Leftovers
Bold Nature
252 Hp 252 Def 4 S.Def
Ability: Natural Cure
Aromatherapy
Thunder Wave
Ice Beam
Softboiled

Hippowdon @ Leftovers
Careful Nature
252 Hp 56 S.Def 200 Def
Ability: Sandstream
Curse
Slack Off
Earthquake
Fire Fang

Any better?
