No Shared Weaknesses - RMT
Togekiss @ Wise Glasses; Serene Grace
Timid; 4 HP, 252 Special Attack, 176 Special Defense, 80 Speed Tri Attack Air Slash Aura Sphere Wish/Roost Lucario @ Choice Specs; Steadfast Timid; 4 HP, 252 Speed, 252 Special Attack Aura Sphere Flash Cannon Psychic Water Pulse Spiritomb @ Leftovers; Pressure Calm; 252 HP, 176 Special Defense, 80 Defense Dark Pulse Shadow Ball Will-O-Wisp Taunt Swampert @ Muscle Band; Torrent Adamant; 252 Attack, 176 HP, 80 Speed Waterfall Earthquake Ice Punch Curse Alakazam @ Life Orb; Synchronize Modest; 252 Special Attack, 252 Speed, 4 HP Psychic Focus Blast Shadow Ball Energy Ball Kingdra @ Scope Lens; Sniper Modest; 252 Speed, 252 Special Attack, 4 HP Surf Dragon Pulse Ice Beam Hidden Power (Electric) Palkia @ Lustrous Orb; Pressure Modest; 252 Speed, 252 Special Attack, 4 HP Surf Spacial Rend Aura Sphere Earth Power Yes, I know there's seven Pokémon here... I can't decide whether to use Palkia or Kingdra (probably Palkia). I also can't decide between Wish or Roost for Togekiss. The team should be suitable for the item and species clauses. No two or more Pokémon are to share even one common weakness, with the only exception being Spiritomb's forced weakness to Fighting (the opponent has to use Foresight, Scrappy, or [maybe] Odor Sleuth to make that happen). Have at it. FIXES Spiritomb's Embargo replaced with Taunt. Kingdra's Signal Beam replaced with Hidden Power. |
Okay, I'm guessing this is in-game, so it doesn't matter. If this is for competitive battles, Palkia isn't allowed. Spiritomb can also be exploited by the ability Scrappy, which allows Normal- and Fighting-type moves to hit Ghost-types.

This team's not just for in-game, it's for WiFi as well.
Between Kingdra and Palkia, I'd mainly use Palkia. The only way I'd use Kingdra is for a tournament with a "no ubers" rule. |
Well, most people won't battle ubers. X.x; If you want Special Lucario run:
Lucario @ Choice Specs Nature: Timid Ability: Steadfast EV Spread: 6 HP/ 252 SPD / 252 SPATK Aura Sphere Dark Pulse Dragon Pulse / Hidden Power [Ice] Vacuum Wave Not sure on the last move. O_o; Embargo on Spiritomb = No. Run this if you want Special Spiritomb: Spiritomb @ Leftovers Nature: Calm Trait: Wonder Guard Pressure EV Spread: Honestly, I'm not sure. Dark Pulse Hidden Power [Fighting] Will-O-Wisp Taunt Cursepert is fail. Run Mixpert or some other form of Swampert. Just not Cursepert. Alakazam looks good I suppose. Kingdra runs this better: Kingdra @ Life Orb Nature: Lonely Trait: Swift Swim EV Spread: 102 HP / 212 ATK / 16 SPD / 180 SPATK Surf Waterfall Draco Meteor / Dragon Pulse Rain Dance Mixdra all the way. I see this team being walled by Blissey if Lucario is taken out. |
The problem with your Lucario is he doesn't have a Steel-type attack to kill Ice and Rock with, he doesn't cover his weaknesses well enough, and the moves you're using are supereffective against only two types without being a STAB move. I don't like it.
Spiritomb must have a Ghost-type attack. I could use Taunt instead of Embargo, but I want both STAB attacks. I can't decipher Pokébbreviations, but with your example on Kingdra, I'd guess "Mixpert" would be a mixed sweeper. I have, what, three special sweepers already? I don't think I need a mixed sweeper, I think I need a physical one. What would you replace Curse with, if it's so terrible on Swampert? Again, I don't want a mixed sweeper unless absolutely necessary. If Kingdra had a physical Dragon move, it would have been a physical sweeper, but there's no Dragon Claw or Dragon Rush available for him/her, so special sweeper it was. If I were to run a mixed sweeper Kingdra, I'd do something like this. Kingdra @ Scope Lens; Swift Swim Lonely; 252 Speed, 176 Attack, 80 Special Attack Waterfall Dragon Pulse Ice Beam Rain Dance |
Fighting hits Ice and Rock-types for Super Effective damage. X.x; So you don't need Steel. Why must it have a Ghost-type move? Dark hits Psychic and Ghost-types Super Effective - while not being resisted by Normal-types. Kingdra doesn't need all that Speed. With Rain Dance in effect, it will outrun every OU Pokemon.
|
You can run the HP [Electric] version of Kingdra.
Kingdra @ Life orb / Leftovers Trait: Swift Swim EV's: 240 HP / 252 SAtk / 16 Spe Modest Nature (+SAtk, -Atk) - Rain Dance - Surf/ Hydro Pump - Dragon Pulse - HP [Electric]. I like these Set. But yeah. pretty much the same Set. Edit: This is also called the Special version. |

Opened because I discussed the matter with Waker_of_Chaos. I will have no arguing in this thread. Y'hear? Just rates AND explanations of their advice/why you don't want to use it.

For those who look at this thread, I don't want to use what everyone else does. That's the main reason I wanted to keep Flash Cannon on Lucario, among other things. I'll listen to advice, but don't expect me to just do everything you say; I do have my own thoughts, and it is my team. Thanks, and have at it again. |
Quote:
And Itachi suggested HP electric for the boltbeam combo, which covers a lot. though kingdra NEEDS NO SPEED EVS. Now then... Cursepert is terribly easy to wall, especially with no means to recover. I'd put rest over waterfall (or roar would work) or maybe just run mixpert. |
Quote:
As for Swampert, I could replace Curse with Roar... |
Quote:
My problem with this team is that the only pokemon that can actually wall by switching into stuff in spiritomb. If that dies you're kind of screwed. You'll want to get rid of probably togekiss and add a wall, and hopefully it can be a beller for you. |

Onw weak that is quite bad is Spikes. That will lose you the gaem, and you don't have spinner support. you also need a beller. Too many weaknesses is bad, but I'd focus more on resistances. It's good to have a rock and normal resist, and also preferably something with levitate or flying type to switch into Earthquake. |
Shedinja: Nobody uses Shedinja. If they do, you can either switch or Roar him away.
Lanturn: Nobody uses him either. Plus, Swampert hits him with Earthquake. Magnezone: Nobody would be retarded enough to send a Magnezone in on a Swampert unless it was running HP Grass, in which case you should get out immediately.

He's right though. I use to build teams using the "only one of a type on my team" before. It's not an effective method of team building. And everyone, let's control the sarcasm and tempers before this gets out of hand.

I'm not an elitist. I just want to play a game that doesn't have all these freaking clauses and tiers and "this is what you do with this Pokémon, never do what you're doing". That's what I want. But I guess my wish won't come true, because far too many people battle "competitively" in this game, too many people who play Yu-Gi-Oh! are elitist idiots, and I'm generally sick of it. So yeah, I'll stick to games like The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess and Final Fantasy. Clearly I'm not elitist enough to play Pokémon. God, I hate when a game turns out like this, just because other people are obsessed with winning (not you guys, the general public). What the hell happened to FUN?! Quote:

Okay, now this thread has overstayed it's welcome. I can see a flamewar coming, so this time I'm closing the thread for good.
We're not elitist, we have fun with good move sets. Sorry if our style offends you. |
