Look out, its a team!
Yes, its my new team, the one I call, THE MIDNIGHT LEGION! And here they are!

Also I did all the spriting, and the Blastoise sprite is fuzzy because I actually was going for that effect. |
I think leading with Hippo is much better. Also, give it Roar over Fire Fang. Seriously, this thing takes hits like a champ, Roar is just great for a starter, plus, you get a free Stealth Rock against those pesky Ninjask leads. Though I think it needs 252 in Def for optimal success as a physical wall. Hmm.. try something like 252 HP / 216 Def / 40 SDef. Not sure, but I think it even survives Grass Knot from Infernape so you can 1HKO the guy right away.
Team looks good. |
Well lately I've been meeting a lot of leads that look designed for getting rid of Hippowdon leads, and Boah still has Sandstream. I like leading with a hard hitter too. I'll play a little with both. And Roar looks good, going on.
|
Maybe try and inflict status problems on your opponent like paralyze. Also, what's with the Sleep Talk with Heracross?
|
No Special Defense on Hippowdon, or at least not that much. Hippo really needs a lot of defense.
Actually looks pretty good now. You have to be REALLY careful with a few pokemon though, like Choice Specs Porygon Z. |
The mistake a lot of people make is leading with their Tyranitar, which is common quite frankly. :/
You're just asking for Forretress/Bronzong/Swampert/Salamence/Weavile/Gyarados/bulky water/etc to set up on you It doesn't look like you changed anything at all, just created a new thread, but w/e PorygonZ wants Download as the ability and Hippo wants much more defense |
On Scarf Cross go max speed and att , that spread you have ATM is only good for choice band as its slow and may need to take a hit, Scarf really needs max speed.
Also your HP Grass Heatran and Azelf weak. |
Articuno wants Roar over Reflect BTW. Killing stuff with rocks is quite fun.
|
Ok got it, except for the Tyranitar lead stuff and Download, Adapatability hits 35% on a Blissey with tri Attack, and they stay in, its so weird, they;re like who would keep a Porygon-Z in against a Blissey as I kill it in 3 attacks. Seriously, always Softboiled on the second one. And the problem Im finding with my team truthfully is that its not very fast. I love Porygon-Z, but I think it might have to go for something faster.

I would say Raikou but you have sandstorm so yeah. then again, you do have Weavile trouble, so maybe Azelf would only hurt you. |
Heracross outspeeds Weavile, and Megahorns Azelf, but it is a bit of a problem. Also Im dying to have a fire attack on here somewhere.

Quote:
Dusknoir or Spiritomb are maybe what you should look into. |
Hmmm, Spiritomb for what though? He looks good, but I NEED a rapid spinner for Articuno, so Blastoise should probably stay.

Mixape falls to Blastoise, Grass Knot only does about 50% and Surf OHKOs. And Tentacruel just pumps up my Azelf weak too.
|
Quote:
As in, it'll do more than 50%. |
Perhaps Tentacruel>Blastoise
|
Hmm, thats plausible, but then I dont really have a mixed wall, just 2 special walls, and truthfully I love mixed walls. And Blastoise has reported (I've counted because this impresses me), taken down 6 MixApe leads. So yeah not so much of a problem. I dont want to get rid of Blastoise really either...
