Seductive, Tempting, Beautiful - The Essence of Jynx
So yeah. Jynx is my favorite Pokemon. She's hated on... A LOT. But I've always had this fascination with her. Anyway, I'm trying to make her work in OU. So don't hate. ;_;
Heatran @ Leftovers Ability: Flash Fire EVs: 180 HP / 44 Def / 252 SAtk / 34 SDef Modest Nature Fire Blast Hidden Power Grass Earth Power / Metal Sound Taunt Jynx @ Life Orb Ability: Forewarn EVs: 6 HP / 252 Speed / 252 SAtk Timid Nature Ice Beam Focus Blast Grass Knot Calm Mind Blissey @ Leftovers Ability: Natural Cure EVs: ??? Bold Nature Seismic Toss Softboiled Aromatherapy Toxic Do not suggest to replace Jynx. I will banx0r you. |
The controversy of Blackface really hit Jynx hard, enough for an entire color swap. She looks better purple.
Anyways, you lack any real physical sweeper. Not like Lax will do much sweeping physically. Shame, Jynx just enchants me. I'm glad for the color swap. Mr.Popo annoyed me, Jynx never really did. |
Dugtrio will trap and kill half this team :0 Poor Jynx.
I'm not a huge fan of specs Jynx with its stealth rock weakness and its very frail defenses which make switching in a chore. You don't need to run a CM/Sub/Lovely Kiss/Ice Beam operation so much as something that isn't Specs because I don't really see it doing much. Jynz is also weak to about everything which makes switching in even harder. I'd set up Toxispikes with Jynz and try and force a few switches with Jynz maybe...Lovely Kiss is pretty tough to handle. My inexperience with Jynx is showing >.> I'm honestly quite stuck. Maybe just CM and 3 attack moves. Meh, I dunno. also your two physical stoppers being weak to Ice does not help in the way of beating Weavile. I guess Snorlax kinda takes it but that's risky. Speaking of Lax, CB is awesome but I'd really be sure Fire Punch is on there. Steel killing is serious business. |
*sigh* Expect this team to experience multiple revisions. Jynx and Heatran must stay. That's all I know. *goes to rummage through PokeDex and build better team*
|
Yeah, the Dugtrio weakness doesn't help. It can also finish off a very weakened Snorlax, but you can say that about a lot of things.
I'm going to say you should probably have something that can kill Blissey all the time and very easily. I have a feeling Heatran won't be able to get the job done all the time, especially with bulky Waters crawling around to PP stall Fire Blast and yuck. IMO Leafeon should go for a serious physical sweeper that just SMASHES Blissey and special walls and replace Snorlax with a serious special wall. Then this team will become a bit more frightening. your team has a lot of trouble with status so I'm tempted to suggest Articuno or Blissey for Heal Bell blah blah blah. Your team handles fighters very well so I wouldn't be worried about that whole focus blasting threat to Blissey and snorlax, who could resttalk and soak up status. As for physical sweepers, the door's wide open. Honesly something like Metagross would be nice since Weavile causes you a mess of trouble. Of course that would make dugtrio even mroe of a pain so it's your call. Well, obviously lol |
Jynx @ Choice Band
Ability: Forewarn EVs: 6 HP / 252 ATK / 252 SPD Jolly Nature Avalanche Drain Punch Body Slam Payback CB Jynx > CB Blissey Well my main focus is protecting Jynx while having a balanced team of Pokemon I like. As much as I try to refrain from using Blissey, it may have to happen as Special Walls are rare. Heatran @ Leftovers Ability: Flash Fire EVs: 180 HP / 44 Def / 252 SAtk / 34 SDef Modest Nature Fire Blast Hidden Power Grass Earth Power / Metal Sound Taunt Jynx @ Life Orb Ability: Forewarn EVs: 6 HP / 252 Speed / 252 SAtk Timid Nature Ice Beam Focus Blast Grass Knot Calm Mind Blissey @ Leftovers Ability: Natural Cure EVs: ??? Bold Nature Seismic Toss Ice Beam Aromatherapy Toxic That's what I have so far. I've never used Blissey before so I need help there. |
Well I've never rerally found Ice Beam all that useful on Blissey outside of Advance. I honestly don't think the Dragons warrant that moveslot since the only dragons people even use are Garchomp and Salamence.
It needs Softboiled there really, or else Blissey just isn't as good...at all. I'd place it over Ice Beam. I mean, McGar is obsolete and other pokemon can kill dragons. |
Oh dur. How could I forget Softboiled? *edits*
|
Is it just me, or does SD Lucario really give this a hard time?
|
Really, you might want bronzong. People will try to eq heatran and stone edge jynx. Then gyrados can taunt instead of tran and vire absorbs thunder bolts from gengar.
Or better yet, go with a spinner. |
GyaraVire is really sad. Example:
Gyarados is out! Zapdos is out! Gyarados switched to Electivire! Zapdos used Thunderbolt! Motor Drive activated! Swampert came in for Gyarados! So sorry! As in it's pretty much why Agility Metagross isn't the greatest in the world without a SD passer. |
Quote:
For example, This happened to me the other day : - Dark_Azelf sends out Starmie ! Opponent sent out Heatran ! Opponent withdrew heatran Opponent sends out Gyarados Starmie used surf, its not very effective Dark_Azelf : lol, its a no brainer whats coming next =/ Opponent sends out Electivire ! Starmie uses Surf ! Electivire fainted. Its so easily countered aswell, as Anti said. But in that particular instance, you'd have to be careful when sending swampy into vire because of HP Grass which is on some vire sets. No Lovely Kiss/Calm mind/Sub/Ice Beam on jynx, ? I remember facing one of those, once your counter is asleep, its pretty rough sailing. |
I personally think jynx works great, i use it like people use gengar. I don't see why its hated so much (I laughed when i heard about the racism arguament, im gonna complain about mr mime being a white-man stereotype :P)
Dusknoir would suit this team well, you dont have anything that can cope with physical fighting attacks. Good start so far though |
Who's the vile who made you think Jynx isn't good? It's an Ice-type, therefor it's useful. End story.
You know, I actually tried Reflect Jynx in Advance, and...it worked. Now, with Light Clay, it will be even better. Just an opinion of mine for making it get more CMs. Yes, I know Psychic isn't the best attacking type in D/P, so Psychic isn't a must. Besides, Ice, beeing the best attacking type ever, makes up for it. I know Seismic Toss is the standart, but, it's a pity Blissey will have to switch to Gengar. Until there will be a Normal/Ghost combo, you can use Shadow Ball for Ghosts. Please, useEarth Power on Heathran. I'm not really a fan or Fire anyway... Dugtrio is bothering you? Ice Shard is the way to go. Or Weavile. Heathran is X1/4 resist to Bug so you don't have much to worry about. |
