Super Mario Bros!
[email protected] Orb***Mario
Nature:Jolly/Naughty Flare Blitz/Flamethrower Thunderpunch/Stone Edge Close Combat Earthquake EV:??? After much consideration, I thought that Infernape would make a great Mario. I am fairly clueless on how Infernape should be played, but I know the obvious. I'm not to keen on the mixed sweeper set, prefering to go all out physical. T-Punch is for Gya, or Stone Edge for other coverage. Rest is self explanitory. With Brelom, however, maybe he sould be mixed? [email protected] Orb***Luigi NatureJolly/Adamant Spore Focus Punch Seed Bomb Stone Edge EV:252 ATK, 252 SPD He's a great jumper, green, & even has a hat! For Toad's sake, he's a Mushroom! So of course he's here! I prefer the striaght up attacker over subseeder, but if I'm advised otherwise, I'll consider it. [email protected]***Princess Peach/Toadstool Nature:Bold Seismec Toss Softboiled Ice Beam Aromatherapy EV:Well, whadda you think? Before I knew Blissey was OU, before I got into compettitive battling, I had always liked Blissey (when the egg hatched to Happiny, it was SOOO cute). Her being overused doesn't make me dislike her in the least. She makes the perfect Peach. I'd like flamehaze to show me his unusual EV spread. [email protected] Scarf***Yoshi Nature:Naughty EQ Fire Blast Draco Meteor U-Turn EV:252 ATK, 126 SP.ATK, 136 SPD He looks close to Yoshi. Anyone remember the flashing shell in Super Mario World? Well, this moveset has Yoshi's exact abilities in that game after he swallowed the shell. [email protected] Band Adamant 252 ATT / 196 SPEED / 60 HP - Earthquake - Stone Edge - Crunch - Pursuit / Ice beam Doesn't he look like Bowser? Credit to Dark Azelf for the set. I need help for a physical wall, but it MUST be in the Mario universe. This team is a bit OU heavy, huh? No legends, please. It's hard to aquire those. |
Perhaps a Forretress as a Bom-omb.
|
torterra as koopa? probably not cuz it'll just add to your beam weak.
or dusknoir as king boo yeah and tyranitar definately bowser. |
Infernape with Earthquake is yuck. Same coverage besides hitting electrics as fighting moves, pretty pointless.
Infernape @ Life Orb / Choice Band Trait: Blaze EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spd Jolly Nature (+Spd, -sAtk) - Flare Blitz - Close Combat - Thunderpunch - Swords Dance / Stone Edge Life Orb works great here, CB is awesome if you run Stone Edge over SD. As for Breloom, mixed is a no-no on it, and seed bomb hits bulky grounds hard already. Scarf Flygon is :( Choice Band is not only better, but fits this team better since you have a speedy attacker in Infernape. But looking at this team, 3 physical attackers and a fairly weak mixed attacker is quite unbalanced. I'd look at running a purely special Infernape or even running Tyraniboah. Last Slot needs to be a physical wall, and Loquacity's suggestion of Forretress as a bomb-omb fits pretty well (watch out for that fire weakness though.) EDIT: @evilcheese: Only 2 pokemon are weak to ice beam, and Blissey takes that like nothing. |
Chansey would be Daisy since peach would Blissy

Second, don't say Band is better. Say Band is better for this team. I use Scarf well enough to know how good it is. It's a little annoying when people says that Band is better overall. There is no overall, as it must both fit the player & the team. Third, this is a THEMED team. Flygon fits the spot of Yoshi perfectly. I might use Band, depending on its performance. Sp.Nape is under consideration, as is Boah. |
I always thought that Breloom looked like the Hammer bros., but each to his own :)
For a physical wall, maybe Agrron = Dry Bones? Aggron @ Leftovers***Dry Bones Impish Nature EVs: 252 HP/200 Def/58 Atk Iron Head Stone Edge/Rock Slide Stealth Rock Roar Physical Wall, phazer, Stealth Rocker and UU into the bargain. I also remember someone suggesting HP Fire Torterra for Bowser in a different thread. |
If he had Gengar, AKA Bomb Boo from Galaxy, then maybe with Aggron.
In my opinion, this is a Yoshi. lol http://i54.photobucket.com/albums/g103/ABYAY/ABYliquid.png When Flygon shoots beams of nuclear energy, then he's indeed a yoshi. |
sims, he did say CBFlygon was better for this team. Read his post better. O_o;

I misread the part with Breloom and mixed in the same sentence.
I know it's a theme team sims, I didn't say anything to deprive the team of its theme. I said CB is better than Scarf AND it fits the team better, which it does. Infernape works well as a speedy attacker, no need to Scarf somthing that doesn't need such an item. Choice Band Flygon is better anyways, when it's even better for the team as well, it's a win-win. Out of curiosity, how in the world does TTar resemble Bowser besides the fact that they both are big and have spiky backs? ^If you want TTar to resemble Bowser, run Boah with Flamethrower hehe EDIT: When I say CB Flygon is better, it is a generalization, which isn't necessarily bad. Scarf Flygon lacks Power, and most teams need power. I don't just say it say it. Cb Flygon is best in MOST CASES, which is pretty much what I mean. I actually have used both with a lot of different teams, as I'm quite a big Flygon fan, and Scarf Flygon was just terrible in every circumstance I put it in. Even its STAB Earthquake did lol damage to threats that aren't even that bulky. CB Earthquake will nail Bulky Waters with massive damage. It might be a generalization, but CB Flygon is best 90% of the time. |

I thought Flamethrower (Fire Blast) but Azelf pointed out that it does no good. But this is what I mean. For the team, yeah, but you cannot tell me that CB is better than Scarf. Ever. Because in my real team, CB does me no good. That really gets on my nerves. It's about what suits both the player & the team. So for you, or anyone, to just up & decide "All Flygon should be using a CB in order to be most effective" is ridiculous, as it is what I think is needed. And maybe Band isn't in the way YOU play. 90% of the time is a lie to me, I don't care how many different teams you used it in. You just don't play with Scarf, is all. I prefer Scarf, so I guess 90% doesn't apply to me, huh? |
Quote:
Flamethrower on Boah is fun for torching Skarmory and especially Bronzong. EDIT: I have a lot of damage claculations to show the sheer difference in power. It's big...very big. |
Quote:
I couldn't care less about calulations. My team[s] has all the power I need. But it is quite slow, so Flygon always picked up the slack. As I said, it's about what suits the PLAYER, as a whole. Maybe your style is more on Power. I perfer speed. So CB is just about always better not only doesn't apply to me, but to any other player that utilizes Speed. Damage Cals & technicalities alone doesn't win a match. The player does. |
Perhaps a Substitute would be a better option on Breloom over Stone Edge. After all, if Spore gets unlucky and the opponent wakes up on the first turn, Breloom is pretty much gone :/
|
I was trying my best to AVOID Substitute, but you are right. I was thinking about Gya, but it doesn't matter. I'll try Sub.
I really want another MArio, other than Marionape. Plusle & Minun makes the best Mario & Luigi. Shame they are nearly unusable. |
Substitute is good on breloom less for something waking up, and more that sleep clause can work against you.
Players win matches, but it their sweeper can't even 3HKO Milotic with its strongest STAB move, you can't do anything. Scarf Flygon probably is better for your team, but if you are choosing Flygon will do the most damage while retaining high speed with a choice band. Almost any pokemon is useless in the hands of a newbie or n00b. But you lose so much power on a Scarf Flygon. CB Flygon can poses a threat to a lot more things than Scarf does, and that's where the basis of my argument is. Not to mention you act as though Scarf Flygon is better for this team, when it really isn't. Infernape is a speedy attacker that doesn't have the power people think (though is still powerful). This team already has speed, what it needs is power. CB Flygon is much more POWERful than Scarf Flygon, which is why it fits this team better. |

44 HP / 252 Atk / 212 Spe Nature: Adamant Nature Trait: Poison Heal - Leech Seed - Substitute - Focus Punch - Spore Yeah this really wants Adamant, Jolly doesnt do much, make it Adamant and give it 212 evs. This spread allows for optimal recovery from Poison Heal and ensures he is faster than Adamant Tyranitar, thus avoiding the occasional Ice Beam or Fire Blast. You're also a few Speed points ahead of minimum Speed Gliscor. Sub Seed = win, especially against walls. |
Seed Bomb is pretty helpful for stuff that resists Focus Punch, especially Spiritomb or Dusknoir.

Now, as I said, are there any replacements for Infernio? I really don't see him as a Mario. Protopass...not so much. Nice Stache, though. EDIT:I was trying my best to AVOID Subseed entirely. I guesss it's unavoidable. Oh well. |
Until flamehaze comes...
[email protected] Nature:Modest EV: 252 HP/252 Def -Seismic Toss -Softboiled -Flamethrower -Aromatherapy You have Flygon and possibly Ice Beam Tyranitar to go against Dragons. So Flamethrower might be the right attack to go against Steel types. |
modest? o.O
i seriously think you should call blissey the "fat guy". it was a enemy in super mario world 2 that laid eggs. for a physical wall... hmm...hrmm...blastoise ain't a wall, but it could probably pass off as a snifit. shuckle's not a wall, but it could probably pass off as baby bowser XD. or even better, koopa troopa. jirachi has reflect... can pass off as graceful star. there was a rhino in super mario world ... rhyperior you can definitely pass off weezing as a goomba. pelipper is an option cus its fighting/water resist and has roost to boot. if there was ever a mermaid/beautiful fish character ---> milotic. torkoal can pass off as that one turtle that floats in that smoke. same concept and funny as hell lolololol |
Now that's the attitude, Samson! This is supposed to be a lighthearted thread!
I Really saw Chimchar (Or Magby) as baby Mario, Baby Bowser looks just like Larvitar. |
I speak from experience too ;)
Subseeding is more than avoidable. It isn't necessary at all. I've always ran sub/spore/focus punch and Mach Punch or HP Ghost in ADV, and seed bomb in this generation. It works fine. BTW, tremendous sig sims. Go go go Giants! |
