PD WiFi Team
 
HI, I think I accidentally posted this as a topic, but it did not get accepted. Here's what I wanted to post, and I think that this is the right place.
I would like to make a team for my Poke'Mon Diamond. I want a nice and balanced team to use for WiFi battles. Here are some of the poke'mon that I would like to use:
Keep in mind, if there is a Diamond Pokemon that would HAVE to repleace one of these, then I will use it because I am not yet that familiar with the new PD Pkmn because I've been at the BF on Emerald for a very long time.

Torkoal - Tank?
Def Evs, Attack Evs, HP
Iron Defence
Flamethrower
-----
-----


Starmie - Special Sweeper?
Speed, Spec. Attk., HP
Surf
---
---
---


Blissey
Metagross
Ampharos - Already Ev'd for Special attack.



These are Poke'mon taht I would likke in my team, but just because I have them on here, doesn't mean they're gonna be in my team. If there is a Pokemon better, I'll swap it out and try it.
I need a 6th spot also.
If you give me genuine help, I'll provide you with a Masterball.
I am leaving at 5:30 PM EST Time to go on vacation to camp and I would like an answer by then.
Thanks
Kody

Torkoal is kind of a lame tank. He has the defense, but the amount of weaknesses he has (Ground, Rock, and Water, all three very common) make him less than ideal. Not to mention his movepool is pretty small.

Starmie is a pretty good Special Sweeper.

Starmie @ Choice Specs
Modest/ Timid
252 SAtk/ 252 Spe/ 6 HP
- Surf
- Ice Beam
- Thunderbolt
- Psychic/ Grass Knot

Specstar. Modest gives you more power, but Timid lets you outspeed Timid Gengar.

Blissey is commonly known as the best special wall in the game. :P

Blissey @ Leftovers
Calm
252 Def/ 216 SDef/ 40 HP
- Softboiled
- Seismic Toss
- Ice Beam/ Aromatherapy
- Toxic/ Thunder Wave

Good thing you have Emerald- Seismic Toss is only obtainable through the Emerald Move Tutor. Anyway, Aromatherapy lets you heal teammates, but Ice Beam gives Bliss a second attack and makes her a somewhat decent Garchomp counter, and allows her to hit Gengar. Thunderwave allows you to paralyze foes, but Toxic allows her to stall and is, in my opinion, better.

Metagross @ Choice Band
Adamant
252 Atk/ 244 HP/ 12 Def
- Meteor Mash
- Earthquake
- Explosion
- Thunderpunch/ Pursuit/ Bullet Punch

Raw power. Thunderpunch is a third gen Move Tutor move, by the way.

kody June 13th, 2008 8:50 AM

Thank-You for helping me. I'll think about it. I'll think about the MasterBall too, but I need 3 more Poke'Mon. Probably a Physical Sweeper, Maybe a tank...?
AeroDactyl
Atk/Def Evs
-EarthQuake?
-
-
-


I figure if I get an AeroDactyl, and a Dragonite/flying dragon poke'mon, I can use Fly on Dragonite ( i know fly is bad, but I do get random good hits) and then that moment, use EarthQuke on Aerodactyl so I can hit the other 2 opponents without hurting Dragonite. Is Fly worth it? Would I be unbalanced and weak because I have 2 flying types?
I would like a pokemon with decent fire moves, one with decent physical moves, and a pokemon of a type i dont have yet.
----AeroDactyl?
----fire pkmn
----?

I need those 3 more pokemon

Matt-O June 13th, 2008 9:18 AM

Dragonite is flying so EQ won't hurt him anyway. Is this for double battles? I have an Aerodactyl that does pretty well as a physical sweeper. Watch as people tell me this isn't a standard moveset, then watch me not care.

[email protected] Orb
EVs: 252 att, 252 spd, 6 hp Jolly
Thunder Fang
Ice Fang
EQ
Aerial Ace

El Gofre June 13th, 2008 9:18 AM

Never use fly. EVER
Sorry, but it has no use whatsoever.
Anyways, rant over :P
Standard Aerodactyl:
[email protected] Band
Jolly
252Att/216Spd/42HP
EQ
Stone Edge
Fire Fang
Ice Fang
I myself don't run the HP EVs, but apparently they're standard. Some people also run rock slide over Stone edge since it has better accuracy and high flinch rate.

Standard Dragonite:
[email protected] Orb/Leftovers
Jolly
252Att/252Spd/6HP
Dragon Dance
Outrage
Fire Ounch/Fire Blast
Earthquake
DDNite, quite a beast.

I'm also wondering if Scope lens would be a acceptable held item instead of Life orb, due to Spacial rend's high-critial hit ratio....(also, focus punch with a higher critial hit ratio would help....probaly still hax though...)Also, should I have metagross as my psyically defensive pokemon for the standrad team, or leave the heavy psyical hitting to my Garchomp & have a supportive psyically defensive pokemon that can hurt the foe bad when needed, like Forretress or Scizor?

Uh...Help please? also, I'm not sure bout blissey...I kinda wanted something that still give good support, but hit harder, like togekiss or vaporeon...(i'm thinking Vaporeon...

The Bringer! June 13th, 2008 3:58 PM

Um, I was wondering if someone would be able to give me a moveset/nature/item for an offensive drapion.

Would you like the sweeper or the Choice band set?

Sweeper

Leftovers / Scope Lens Sniper Jolly MovesetEVs~ Swords Dance
~ Night Slash
~ Brick Break / Earthquake
~ Knock Off / Fire Fang
40 HP / 252 Atk / 216 Spe
Sniper is an amazing ability, especially with all the high CH moves that Drapion possesses. Night Slash is the main STAB attack here. Brick Break is for coverage, particularly against Steels and Tyranitar; Earthquake can also do this. Knock Off will hurt against Heracross and Skarmory, but Fire Fang offers more general damage. Drapion's good Speed and Defense make it a prime candidate for Swords Dancing. The Speed is enough to outspeed base 100 neutral nature Pokémon.

Here's the set I'd use....(I hate the idea of being locked onto 1 move....)

The Hero Without a Name June 14th, 2008 11:13 AM

What would be a good moveset for a Starmie?

devilicious June 14th, 2008 11:36 AM

That depends. Do you want your Starmie to sweep? To counter Infenape, Gyarados and Garchomp? To spin? To take hits? There are a lot of things Starmie can do.

The Hero Without a Name June 14th, 2008 11:45 AM

Ah. Hmmm... That's the main problem I have. I can't decide whether I want him to spin, or sweep (good speed and spatk).

I guess my team could use a special sweeper besides Houndoom.

You only really need 1 of each sweeper (1 physical, 1 special and 1 mixed if you want), Starmie:

Starmie @ Leftovers
Timid Nature
EVs: 160 HP / 132 SpA / 216 Speed
- Ice Beam / Thunderbolt
- Rapid Spin
- Recover
- Surf

Sounds great. But why doesn't he have psychic? Just wondering.

Doesn't need it, Ice Beam/T-bolt provides better coverage. Psychic has poor coverage, and no pokemon is immune to both Ice Beam and T-Bolt.

*-Donkey In Mr-* June 14th, 2008 11:55 AM

Hi i would like a good moveset for some pokemon

List:
Magnezone
Rotom
Granbull
Togekiss
Meganauim (Chikorita Evo)
And Jynx

And any thing will do like sweppers or anything else i would just like a simple tough team to beat my mates please!

The Hero Without a Name June 14th, 2008 11:56 AM

Oh yeah... especially with all those TTars running around. Thanks!

Shedinja's immune to that combination. =D It walls Starmie forever and ever too =D Although you'll probably have something to KO that Ninja. =/

My mistake, nothing that gets OHKOed by any entry hazard or Status condition is immune to that combination.

Do you want a moveset or Ev's and natures?

Azonic June 14th, 2008 3:17 PM

He did say movesets.

Magnezone @ Life Orb
Trait: Magnet Pull
Nature: Modest / Mild
EVs: 252 Sp.Atk / 172 HP / 84 Defense
- Thunderbolt
- Hidden Power [ICE]
- Metal Sound / Explosion / Magnet Rise
- Substitute / Flash Cannon / Thunder Wave

Thunderbolt can 2HKO Blissey when used in conjunction with Metal Sound. Explosion is a good way to attack Blissey as well. Magnet Rise evades ground type moves like the ever-so-common Earthquake. Especially evading Dugtrio's Arena Trap and Earthquake and hit it with Hidden Power [ICE]. Flash Cannon is doable, but the coverage isn't. Sometimes it helps with Rock types that carry Earthquake, but meh. Thunderwave is self explanitory, whereas Substitute evades Explosion damage and status moves that threaten Magnezone.

Rotom @ Life Orb
Trait: Levitate
Nature: Timid
Evs: 252 Sp.Atk / 252 Speed / 4 HP
- Thunderbolt / Discharge
- Will-o-wisp / Thunder Wave
- Shadow Ball
- Hidden Power [ICE/FIGHT]

Pretty decent sweeper in UU. There's also a Trickspecs moveset.

Granbull @ Choice Band
Trait: Intimidate
Nature: Adamant
Evs: 252 Attack / 172 HP / 84 Defense
- Body Slam / Return
- Close Combat
- Earthquake
- Crunch / Ice Fang

Slow and fragile, but Intimidate keeps its defenses up so it can withstand a physical hit. Body Slam is in hopes of paralyzing the opponent so Granbull can outrun / get a free switch in and hit really hard.

Togekiss @ Leftovers
Trait: Serene Grace
Nature: Modest / Calm
EVs: 252 Sp.Atk / 172 Sp.Def / 84 Speed
- Air Slash
- Aura Sphere
- Thunder Wave / Body Slam
- Roost / Softboiled

Standard ParaFlinch set. Togekiss abuses Serene Grace with this moveset. Body Slam hits physically even with its weak Attack stat, but still gets a 60% paralyze chance. Thunder Wave is if you're lazy like that. Paralyze has 25% chance each turn for the opponent to skip their own turn (it can't move). Combined with Air Slash's 60% chance of flinching (Serene Grace), the opponent has only a 15% chance of attacking each turn (100-60-25=15). Roost is just annoying. Tri Attack is an alternative move in this moveset.

Meganium @ Leftovers
Trait: Overgrow
Nature: Bold
Evs: 252 HP / 172 Defense / 84 Sp.Def
- Energy Ball
- Aromatherapy / Hidden Power [ELECTRIC/ICE]
- Grasswhistle / Light Screen / Reflect / Leech Seed / Synthesis
- Grasswhistle / Light Screen / Reflect / Leech Seed / Synthesis

Jynx @ Leftovers
Trait: Forewarn
Nature: Modest / Timid
Evs: 252 Sp.Atk / 252 Speed / 4 HP
- Icebeam
- Calm Mind
- Substitute
- Lovely Kiss

That's not percentages work. :B
They have a 30% chance of attacking when Paralyzed and hit by a Serene Grace'd Flinching move. (It's 100% - 25% = 75%, then 40% of 75% = 30%)

Anti June 14th, 2008 3:42 PM

That and flinch hax Togekiss is a luck-reliant "strategy" that is very unreliable and is totally inferior to BP and Nasty Plot sweeper sets Togekiss can run. That, and people will just try their luck to stall you out, which works more often than not. It's just a waste of a team slot IMO.

Togekiss @ Leftovers
Trait: Serene Grace
EVs: 252 HP / 104 Spd / 152 SAtk (if I remember that right)
Modest Nature (+SAtk, -Atk)
- Air Slash
- Aura Sphere
- Nasty Plot
- Roost

It's great. Almost nothing really walls this well, and pass it some speed or a substitute and it's really unstoppable.

I've also heard it runs a nasty CB set with Hustle, but I haven't tried it out.

And a quick little opinion on Maggy, it generally likes sub to avoid Bronzong Hypnosis and whatnot. That and it grants protection against any attack except maybe Bonemerang (lol). Maggy Rise is pretty much necessary or you get walled a lot easier and killing steels is a lot tougher (though with Shed Shell it's already hard enough).

luke June 14th, 2008 3:56 PM

Zapdos and Rotom wall Togekiss completely, so make sure you scout your opponent's team for them first before setting Togekiss up.
