I got an UT Palkia and I'm interested to go with the "Mixed Attacker" set that's on Smogon.
Thing is, my Palkia is Naive (+Spd / -Sp.Def) instead of Hasty (+Spd / -Def) IVs: 1/24/3/30/14/30 Is it really a pain ?! |

Airconditioning, I usually let them set up their SR and faint (Baiting and Predicting an explosion from Azelf). Afterwards, I will just resort to spinning. If you must, Adamant LO Fake Out & Ice Shard Weavile can take out both without letting them move, iirc. It can also make a half decent Revenge killer for later on. It has troubles with the new Metagross Leads, though. Your choice. :D Reese, you may want to elucidate the sort of moveset that you wish to use? It just has quite a lot of options, ta. |
Thanks a lot dudes ;)
I was thinking of the pretty same setup as Smogon... PALKIA @ Lustrous Orb / Life Orb 252 Sp.Atk / 252 Spd / 6 Atk - Surf - Thunderbolt (instead of Thunder) - Spatial Rend - Aqua Tail It'll be used on an Uber-rain-team with Kyogre |
AC, Metagross actually does a great job at owning Azelf and Aero. I use this;
[email protected] *FACE!!* Adamant 204HP/76atk/224sp.def Meteor Mash Bullet Punch Stealth Rock Earthquake I can't stress how many people don't expect this, but this thing owns both Aero and Azelf rather easily. Meteor Mash + Bullet Punch crushes Azelf, and 2 Bullet Punches brings Aero down, but you might lead with Mash anyway to trick sash leads. Don't Stealth Rock until AFTER you eliminate their lead or scare it off. It's too vulnerable to Taunt to not lead with an attack, and the first turns are crucial. If you Meteor Mash a Taunting Azelf, it's ruined. The copious amount of special defense is to deter Fire Blast, as well as being a better check to Gengar. It's designed to survive something like an Overheat from Heatran, so you should be fine on all accounts. |

airconditioning: I think that the only way to prevent Suicide leads from setting up is being faster and Taunting them. I dont think that there is anyother way you can stop SR. But then again you can always pack a spinner so..

As for the spinner issue, I'm not sure I can spare it. I use Slowbro on my team (non-negotiable), so Starmie would only add to the number of weaknesses he carries. Donphan looks interesting, as does Tentacruel (if only I could get Rapid Spin and Knock Off on the same set...). Any suggestions? |
Quote:
Donphan @ Leftovers Impish (252 HP/4 Atk/252 Def) -Rapid Spin -Ice Shard -Earthquake -Fire Fang/Knock Off I chose Fire Fang >> Knock Off on my Donphan because I ran a Tangrowth with Knock Off and didn't want repetition. Like I said, the CB set has worked better for me, but if you like this set and can make it work, more power to you. |
Quote:
But, uh, I'm still stuck on what Heatran moveset to use... Taunt or Burn support.... That is the question..... NOTE: Don't ask what my team is, I've just been training pokemons 1-by-1, in the hopes of making multiple teams at once.... |

can someone give me a summary for this et that i came up with
[email protected] choice scarf intimidate hasty nature/rash/mild spe 252/atk 128/spA 128 overheat/fire blast/flamethrower dragonpulse ironhead extremespeed/crunch overheat blast or thrower for stab.dragon pulse for dragons,iron head to held agains rocks extreme speed for finishing of weakend scarfchomp and crunch for gengar and maybe alakasm or dusknoir.good init i think that white herb can be used on my set but swell |
which is better and why on porygon-z???
download or adaptibility? |
Adaptability, the extra STAB is nice and you rarely switch your special sweeper in on pokes with high SpDef stats.
|
Quote:
Change Dragon Pulse for THunder Fang. Anti-water, bulkies would either get a 2HKO by that. Keep Iron head. And for the Crunch vs. Extremespeed... Go for Crunch. Quote:

Quote:
Bad EV spread, mixed arcanine wants 228Att/92SpAtt/188Spd to outrun tyranitar. Iron head is moot, and arcanine has enough trouble with coverage as it is. Switch it for HP Grass or Electric for bulky waters. Grass if swampert bothers you, electric if gyara does. Mixed arcanine also wants two STAB moves to take on walls of both sides of the spectrum. Overheat for the first slot, with flare blitz over extreme Speed (Which can brought in over dragon pulse) Quote:

thanks its a sub salac so i think ill go for adaptibility :)
|
Sub Salac Porygon-Z? That sounds like a horrible idea. He gets Agility, and runs an excellent Choice Scarf set (where he needs as much coverage as he can get). Why not use one of those?
|
AC, the meta set I use is very bulky and can come to serve as a good platform against some special attacks later in the game. Lead Aero has a tough time dealing with that set, and Azelf's Fire Blast won't OHKO you either except for a critical hit. It also gives you some very useful priority that can be abused.

I've been using the following team on Shoddy for about a week, and it's been working out pretty well. I'd like to start building it in my Diamond game soon, but it still has plenty of flaws.
Aerodactyl @ Focus Sash Thick Fat Careful 168 HP / 120 Def / 220 SpD - Curse - Body Slam - Fire Punch - Selfdestruct Zapdos @ Leftovers Pressure Bold 252 HP / 220 Def / 36 Spe - Roost - Thunderbolt - Heat Wave - Roar Scizor @ Life Orb Technician Adamant 32 HP / 252 Atk / 224 Spe - Swords Dance - Bullet Punch - Superpower - X-Scissor The main problem is it's overall weakness to fighting. I think I should replace either Blissey or Snorlax with a Dusknoir or Gengar, and maybe replace the other with something else. Thoughts? |
switch snorlax to dusknoir/gengar as you already have a special wall and selfdestruct isnt exactly effective!evrything else looks good.
|
I just restarted Pokemon Emerald, and I would really like to know you guys' opinions of what the absolute best team in Emerald is (based on knowledge and evidence of course). By this, I mean Pokemon that can be found natively in Emerald, so I won't have to use adapters to import any of the Pokemon.
I really appreciate it guys. P.S: I haven't chosen a starter Pokemon yet, so please also feel free to mention the best one in your opinions. |

If there was a best team, we'd all be using it. If you're playing in-game then anything is the best team. Just play through with the pokes you like, in-game play isn't difficult at all.

Maybe run Restalk Machamp over Curselax? Keep in mind that Blissey could only obtain Wish via an event, so you can't get it on Diamond. |
Is there an EV spread/moveset for a Subpunch Snorlax, or is that just outclassed by other ones?
