Pretty standard. You might need something that can take special attacks a bit better, maybe put Light Screen in on Arti.

Well, I can't really fit it anywhere........

Anti December 23rd, 2007 1:49 PM

Articuno takes special hits just fine. It's the only special wall I ever use and it takes any special hit like a pro. Really, I like that thing more than blissey because people don't prepare for it like they do the puffball.

The only downside is SR. If Forry dies, then Arty's screwed.

Actually, it can still survive thanks to roost. It destroys its ability to switch into anything, but it can switch into pokemon like walls :P

And don't let Forry die...

Arcknight316 December 24th, 2007 7:14 PM

Lol. OK guys, keep those suggestions coming.

flamehaze94 December 24th, 2007 7:47 PM

Magnezone takes a HUGE bite outta this team. If it gets a Magnet Rise in, you're about as good as done.

252HP / 160Atk / 96Def are better Forretress EVs.

Obligitory, CMKou and SDChomp weak.

Anti December 24th, 2007 8:24 PM

CMkou weak...another reason I advocate EQ on Gyara :P

But seriously, electivire really hurts raikou anyways.

Arcknight316 December 24th, 2007 10:55 PM

Well, if 'Vire gets a Drive in, then Bye Bye CMRaikou!

Not so much that as that Raikou wouldn't be stupid enough to motor drive that puppy and hidden power, or any special attack it packs, is going to deal little damage and Vire threatens it greatly with EQ. Meaning it doesn't even need the motor drive boost to be a solid counter.

And how fitting, post 6,000 on Christmas Day. Gee, I need to get out more O_o

Lol. For now, there's still nothing I can do but bump this.

Thats cool Anti, good for you. Forry should have full defense.

forry doesn't need full; defense really. JKust about aS MUCH AS SKARM, WHICH IS 401 OR MORE. SO ANYWHERE FROM 196-252 dEF evS WILL DO YOU FINE. (sorry, my caps lock went on and I didn't notice :0). But yeah, hitting ice types like Regice and the occasional articuno is nice.

evilcheese December 26th, 2007 11:17 AM

relaxed on forry so gyro ball kicks in

Syaoran December 26th, 2007 11:38 AM

Why Agility on Gliscor? none of your team members gain anything significant from it. I suggest redoing the set for Gliscor - give it Knock Off, Earthquake, Roost and possibly Stealth Rock for more team support.

Eos Aduro December 26th, 2007 1:00 PM

You kidding, if Pory-Z catches hold of more speed, it will take down almost anything thrown at it!

True, but BPing speed to a specs user is never a smart idea. Choice specs thunderbolt is great until swampert comes in.

flamehaze94 December 26th, 2007 1:06 PM

If anything, PorygonZ cannot take a hit. If Gliscor BPs to PorygonZ, it's prone to get hit by the next attack.

Give PorygonZ a lot more bulk. Give it just enough to outspeed other choice P-Zs after an Agility and pump the rest into HP.

Anti December 26th, 2007 1:08 PM

If you wanto to BP speed to Pory Z, life orb is the better option.

EDIT: So you aren't stuck attacking milotic with ice beam.

Arcknight316 December 26th, 2007 7:44 PM

Weird. I had Life Orb in the beginning, but then, you told me to change to CS.

Also, Specs won't be a problem, because, even if it's NVE, I still use Tri Attack and go in for the kill.
