I'll try once more, fuuuu... sion! HA! I mean, RMT
Sceptile @Focus Sash
Hasty Nature EVs:200attk/56spattk/252spd Earthquake Dragon Pulse Sunny Day Solarbeam My starter. If Double Kick breaks Sashes, I'll keep it, if not, I'll ditch it for T-Punch/Dragon Pulse. Dragon Pulse hits the Dragon pokes that cause Sceppy problems. Sunny Day screws up weather teams. Metagross @Occa Berry Adamant Nature EVs:240attk/56spd/200hp/12spdef Thunder Punch Icy Wind Earthquake Meteor Mash As much as you'll try to convince me, I'm not removing Icy Wind, it's proven useful as a good move. Staraptor @Choice Scarf Adamant Nature EVs:252attk/176spd/80hp Close Combat Brave Bird U-Turn Return Staraptor helps cope with my major Hera weakness, it outspeeds both ScarfTran and ScarfCross. Gardevoir @Leftovers Modest Nature EVs:200hp/200spattk/108spd Trace Icy Wind/Hypnosis Calm Mind Psychic Focus Blast/HP Fighting My favorite poke and new CMer. Icy Wind can work to an extent while stocking up on CMs. Yes, Meta and Voir both have Icy Wind, why? Voir uses it to stock up on CMs and Meta uses it for switching. Cresselia @Leftovers Bold Nature EVs:240hp/200def/68spdef Charge Beam Ice Beam Moonlight Lunar Dance My wall. Lunar Dance is a desprite move. It's been used pretty good with Cress, once her HP gets too low and I'm out of MLs, Lunar Dance gets my next poke ready for battling. Electrode @Focus Sash Hasty Nature EVs:252spd/200attk/56spattk Charge Beam Explosion HP Ice Taunt Electrode is one of the fastest Taunters I could find. It works well if it's going in for a revenge kill. Charge Beam for pumping up Electrode and Explosion for that big bang crash... I know my team has some dents, but, bear with me. Although I have 2 pure psychics, Meta can handle Yanmega and Staraptor can handle Hera. |
Umm Sceptile what??? I hope you meant another pokemon
|
Nope, seriously, it's Sceptile...

My luck is hax horrible with Hypnosis... I'll use it though.

If you want to feel a little more secure with it, then have Garde hold a Wide Lens to make that and Focus Blast 77% accurate rather than 70%... it makes a huge difference actually.
|
It may be just me, but I'd rather have a 210 Base power Leaf Storm over a 2 Turn Sunny Day/180 Base power Solarbeam.
|
But, that's not the reason of Sunny Day, Sunny Day is used for messing up weather based team starters, Solarbeam is the obvious choice to go with it.
|
Then they can just switch in again. :/ Leaf Storm is way better.
|
yeah, sunny day isn't the best option, especially when none of your other pokemon don't benefit from it, specifically cresselia w/ moonlight and anything that gets hit with fire attacks. i understand the concept of the move but at least put something on your team that benefits from it and can make a safe switch from Sceptile.
your sceptile gets walled by steel types. even metagross won't be taking much damage from earthquake. honestly, that moveset is just a mess. i highly suggest giving it a subseed with focus punch and protect/leaf blade/dragon pulse. leaving sceptile out there to die is a waste of the guy's speed. you can also go for counter/endeavor variants if you want to keep the sash. give gardevoir reflect over one of the options and give cresselia thunderwave over lunar dance. the speed on gardevoir is pointless as it won't be outrunning anything significant. you're better off putting those in defense. you may want to consider keeping hypnosis on gardevoir, keeping focus blast and running wide lens. reflect is a must tho. why do you need the fastest taunter? i don't get the point. perhaps a fast encorer will trap your opponent when trying to boost his/her stats, but taunt doesn't protect electrode from anything. if you want to give something taunt, at least choose something bulky that can recover its hp. and charge beam is pathetic on something with focus sash that is going to croak anyway. you should try to at least go with something a little more strategic like a sub/taunt/thunderbolt/explosion set. |
Samson, Moonlight is boosted by Sunny Day. It's just like Morning Sun.

Just tested it out and it does heal by 100%.

Just my thoughts.... |
Don't you mean Metagross?
Icy Wind as I've already said isn't used for attacking. Yes, I'm keeping Gross in on a Fire poke. Hm, Gardevoir + WoW seems usable... but maybe, I'll choose Hypnosis. Moonlight + Sunny Day heals 100%... |
