This thing had helped me since it KOs things such as Gyarados for me and it's pretty strong. I didn't breed for Modest because this one was pretty good anyway and it's ability makes up for it.

This thing wall physical hits for me.It's very bulky and Drill Peck is there instead of Brave Bird since the damage of recoil could cause it's death.By which I mean it would be too slow to Roost off the damage.Other then that,it's your standard Skarmory.

I will accept all comments as long as they are helpful and not spam.

I have the whole team already bred and EV trained so I can't change their egg moves and other things.

Should I change my Gardevoir into one of these?

*:I have not bred or EV trained this yet.



Changes so far:
-Pelipper was switched into Skarmory for obvious walling abilities.
-Bronzong was switched into Claydol for Rapid Spinning and losing a Fire Type weakness.
-Gardevoir's Focus Blast was switched into Wish because of Life Orb damage.
-Ludicolo has switched with Walrein as my special wall.


Things I'm considering:
-Changing Gardevoir seeing that everyone like Alakazam over her.
-Changing Heracross into a Swords Dancing Flame Orb Heracross as suggested by Dark_Azelf.

Why I'm considering things instead of doing it immediately:
The Gardevoir issue:
I'm considering becuase it has Thunderbolt in it's movepool while Alakazam does not and it's bulkier then Alakazam.
The Walrein issue:
There are so far no pokemon that can replace this one and it helps the badly needed Ice resistance in this team for Salamence.
The Heracross issue:
Swords Dance requires setting up and it could die to a priority move after barely surviving the attack while setting up.

Walrein March 21st, 2008 3:51 AM

Salamence-why not a physical sweeper?
Bronzong should have Calm Mind.
Pelipper is awful.

Dunsparce March 21st, 2008 4:49 AM

1) Specs Mence needs Fire Blast over Flamethrower to hit harder
2) Bronzong should use Earthquake over Psychic for better coverage
3) Use Skarmory over Pelipper
4) Too many 6/252/252 Spreads
5) Gardevoir should have more of a supporting role. If you want a sweeping Psychic type, use Alakazam

Salamence has the potential to OHKO a lot of stuff with Draco Meteor and Choice Specs while a physical one does not.A Salamence's Draco Meteor could OHKO a Machamp,Gyarados and a Swampert.While It's strongest physical move, Dragon Claw, cannot do so.Bronzong should not have Calm Mind.Why? Becuase it's Special Defense is already high and Psychic isn't going to hit hard anyway.How is Pelipper awful?

Thanks for the info. Salamence can't afford to miss,though.I will try to get an Earthquake TM and I already bred and EV trained a Skarmory with Impish Nature so ok.What EV spread should I give them then?I'm considering Alakazam but Gardevoir has Thunderbolt.This is lalapizzame but I forgot my password and email.

El Gofre March 21st, 2008 6:53 AM

I agree with the first statement you made, but pelipper is really quite bad. Its stats are below par and it has a quad weakness to one of the most common moves in the game- Tbolt. There's nopt much it can do.
Bronzong with calm mind is ok, depends if you go for the special attack or gyro/EQ set

This is my physical wall and it's pretty simple to use.If it can't hit, then It will use Toxic and Stockpile so that the opponent dies while barely touching this thing.It will Roost if it is low on health.Wacan berry is there so that it can survive a Thunderbolt if it does not have STAB boost.

Don't use Pelipper. He fails in life.

Dani_X March 21st, 2008 7:27 AM

Yeah, i was comparing Pelipper to OU's like Gliscor, Hippowdon, Skarmory, Cressy, etc.

I did use a Swords Dance Flame Orb Heracross once but it was Jolly so it could outrun base 90 speed things and DDancing Salamence.

You made a mistake.

'Zam can't use Thunderbolt. :/

These Are the electric Attacks e can learn

Shock Wave: too weak
Charge Beam: Raises Special Attack, but doesn't do much mroe than that
Thunderpunch: It's physical now, so it's useless
Thunder Wave: Doesn't do any damage.

Other Special moves: Psychic Attacks galore, Shadow Ball, Focus Blast, Energy ball, Hidden Power, Grass Knot, and Hyper Beam. Hyper Beam Sucks, so I and since Psychic, Focus Blast, and Grass Knot are on it, I guess Shadow Ball is they way to go, unless you're willing to breed for a good Hidden Power.

Dani_X March 21st, 2008 7:43 AM

Omg! Me = dumbass

Use Hidden Power Fire instead.

El Gofre March 21st, 2008 7:50 AM

Cant stop for a full rate, but why in the name of all things holy does that flame-orb hera NOT have facade? It is seriously excellent on it, change now!

It doesn't have Facade because Normal Type attacks don't have any type coverage.Although I'll put it on my To Consider list.

El Gofre March 21st, 2008 8:00 AM

Coverage isnt all too important, facade's base power double to 140 with status conditions and gets a 1.5 guts moost, making a mighty 210. Thats almost explosion-level kiling there. It's seriously great, i recommend you try it out.

OK.I'll seriously consider it seeing as even Super effective Stone Edge can't be as strong as it.The STAB moves too.

Anti March 21st, 2008 9:28 AM

Bronzong and skarmory on the same team is doing you no favors. Ditch one for a bulky ground, preferably Donphan seeing your lack of Rapid Spin support.

Also Walrein does nothing for this team and the set is even worse for it, so in all honesty I'd scrap it.

I'll put Claydol instead of Bronzong since I had it up as a replacement for Gardevoir.What should I replace Walrein with?Walrein is very helpful with Salamence's Ice Weakness though.

Anti March 21st, 2008 4:02 PM

Um you did have Bronzong to take ice attacks :P There are so many steels that make better ice resists than Wall-rein. Put a special wall over it...you don't have one ._.

Bronzong and Walrein were my special walls.Although you make it sound like they're not special walls when they are walls.

Anti March 21st, 2008 6:20 PM

Walrein is not a good special wall. Hello Thunderbolt and Focus Blast Weakness! Hello no useful resistances outside of Ice and maybe Fire! In other words Walrein just doesn't cut it. It is a special wall, it just isn't a very good one. Oh, did I mention Grass Knot will OHKO it from anything with decent special attack?

Bronzong is pretty challenged itself at special walling. No weaknesses and tons of resistances helps, but not resisting things like ghost, dark, fire, bug, and especially water work against it. For example, Starmie will 3HKO it with STAB surf, which isn't even supereffective and Starmie's special attack is very very average for a special sweeper.

As in, if you run in to something like sims' Nasty Plot Raichu, both of your "special walls" are going to die. Remember that (besides sims :P) nobody even uses Raichu in OUs, just imagine what more powerful OU pokemon like Infernape, Roserade, Zapdos, Azelf, and Gengar will do :0

So they really aren't GOOD special walls, sorry.

It's saddening but not heartbreaking.Should I replace one of them with Ludicolo?It has high HP and a special defense boosting nature with Leech Seed and Protect.Bronzong has no weaknesses?I thought it had a fire type weakness.Although this isn't really major, A Flamethrower from a Blissey I faced (Which was EV trained correctly)was a 6HKO for my Bronzong.

Anti March 21st, 2008 7:12 PM

When I said Bronzong had no weaknesses, I was thinking ahead and skipped the "except fire" part because I'm a frantic typer.

A GOOD special wall would be something like Snorlax, Regice, Articuno, Cresselia, Grumpig, Hypno, and of course Blissey >.> You can use Cradily in sandstorm too, but that thing is totally overrated and just gets stalled out of its mind anyways.

There aren't many special walls really, Empoleon...yeah, it's tough. You can also use my personal favorite, Registeel, but meh. Articuno can do an awful lot itself, just be sure you have a Rapid Spinner!

Articuno is a good choice because I have Claydol to help by Rapid Spinning away Stealth Rock.I really hope this is a good team.I'm also flattered to be rated by you.You appear to be a great rater.
