Magnezone isn't a good lead. Tyranitar, Weavile, Gyarados (EQ), Hippowdon leads will all mawl you. Leftovers please, Focus Sash is null here. HP ICE hits Garchomp when you swtich this in for taking Outrage hits, Magnet Rise with Timid allows you to outspeed Metagross and ignore Earthquake.

[email protected] Scarf
Adamant
Brave Bird
Close Combat
Return
U Turn

This should be your lead. Intimidates leading foes that annoy you, and you can U-Turn on Weavile and T-Tar leads, just as an example.

Vaporeon Leftovers
Bold
Surf
Wish
Baton Pass
Substitute

Vaporeon passes gigantic substitutes to others in your party, and provides very nice wish support. Bold please here.

[email protected]Leftovers
Careful / Calm
Pain Split
Hypnosis / Will-o-Wisp
Sucker Punch / Pursuit
Shadow Ball

Spiritomb has actually kill alot of pokemon with this moveset thanks to his defenses .I want to put in Pain Split but I don't know what move to replace.

Well I cannot see how it was, but w/e. Pain Split is needed here most certainly. Careful or Calm please.

Ambipom Life Orb
Jolly
Fake Out
U turn
Shadow Claw
Double Hit

My Weavile,Starmie and Gengar killer.I might replace him for Infernape.

Is outsped by Weavile and Gengar, and speed ties with Starmie. That isn't what you say though... I'm not common with Ambipom, so I'll leave it.

[email protected]Leftovers
Impish
Earthquake
Ice Shard
Stealth Rock
Rapid Spin

The moveset is fine, but you aren't meant to be using it for attacking. Impish please and Leftovers over...Muscle Band.


Next time, could you please post EV's? That way it is far easier to give a decent rate.

Choice Specs Gengar Massacres you, and Scarf Varients outspeed everything and may still be able to OHKO everything you have. (Other than Spiritomb)

You lack a Special Wall, so basically, you fall to almost any special attacker. (cough*azelf, gengar*cough)

I think TS summed it up. This team is gengar bait. Item/Nature choice is also bad, spiritomb isnt meant to "kill a lot of pokemon", its meant to wall them. Same goes for vappy and donphan (To an extent), they are defensive pokes and should have natures to match. Wide lense just for hypnosis is a waste, spiritomb needs lefties anyway. Oh and about magneton leaving, I have NEVER seen a steel type lead. I have however seen a TTar lead, and he says hi to you.

I'd suggest new sets but TS seems to have hit it bang on, except sprirtomb NEEDS WoW in my opinion. Sucker punch is also favorable but you're likely to get set up on, so make sure you predict properly.

Also, post EV spreads next time

Arcknight316 March 14th, 2008 9:28 PM

Ambipom outspeeds Gengar and MIGHT be able to OHKO with Shadow Claw. MIGHT be able to.

El Gofre March 15th, 2008 1:34 AM

But that's assuming he EV trains, but seeing that he hasnt posted them Im not convinced he can. But yeah, assuming that he can EV train and maximum IVs on all pokes concerned, it would do a minimum of 97%

Scarf Gengar kills it, as does Sash, and it doesn't really matter, as it isn't reliable. It cannot switch into Gengar, and nothing else can, so he still has an issue. Infernape doesn't help much on Gengar either...
