INFERNAPE (Razor Claw) | Type = Fire Fighting | Purpose = Physical Sweeper, Fire, Starter Pokemon http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k166/MWarfare/infernape.jpg - Flamethrower - Close Combat - Earthquake - Grass Knot 2. ROSERADE (Miracle Seed) | Type = Grass Poison | Purpose: Special Attacker, Annoyer, Grass http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k166/MWarfare/roserade.jpg - Sludge Bomb - Energy Ball - Flash - Stun Spore 3. CROBAT (Poison Barb) | Type = Poison Flying | Purpose: Physical Sweeper, Flyer, Annoyer http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k166/MWarfare/crobat.jpg - X Scissor - Cross Poison - Fly - Toxic 4. LUXRAY (Magnet) | Type = Electric Dark | Purpose: Physical Sweeper, Electricity, Annoyer http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k166/MWarfare/luxray.png - Thunder Fang - Thunder Wave - Ice Fang - Crunch 5.

GARCHOMP (Draco Plate) | Type = Dragon Ground | Purpose: Physical Sweeper, Dragon, Annoyer http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k166/MWarfare/garchomp.png - Stone Edge - Dragon Claw - Sand attack - Earthquake Any comments, ratings, further improvements? |
Is this an in-game or wifi team? I cant tell which you plan on using it in
|
It burns my eyes. Hyper Beam? Flash? Palkia? Please tell me this is only in-game, and that you still haven't beaten the Elite Four.
|
Thats why i want to know, i have a detailed list of why this fails should it be wifi. The quote "owns ass" intrigues me lol
|
Fine, I removed that comment. I use some of my Pokemon as an annoyer you know. This isn't a Wifi team since I cant trade to get an Alazkazam. Wi-Fi teams are mostly Special/Physical sweepers, right?
|
Well thats annother thing to add to the list
So is it in-game or wifi? |
It's an in-game team. With all the good TM's and Pokemon a person can get in the Sinnoh region, these are Pokemon you can catch early from the start. Crobat and Roserade don't need to be traded.
|
Oh well if its in game its gonna own ass, anything owns ass in game. That's hardly an achievement.
|
If it's ingame, then we don't need to bother rating it. A level 100 Magikrap can win ingame, so this team is hardly an accomplishment.

I'm not sure if in-game teams should go here but team advice go in S&M.
-MOVED- |
OK, I added why I chose these Pokemon. Just for fun... :D
|
A) Lol at hyper beam and Fly. 2 turn moves are epic fail
B)Lol at item choice. Razor claw is hax and items that boost one kind of move are fail C)Lol at flash being use, it relies on luck and is also hax D)Lol at the use of ubers, again this is hax E)Lol at the lack of EVs, natures, walls and pretty much any tactical knowledge |

Also, everything Gofre said. |
Also just to add, id advise reading the stickies at the top, they will help loads.
|
Jeez, lol, fine: I'll look for a team to compete against Wi-Fi tournaments. Anyway, Sweepers are good in single battles. But at least one Annoyer gets the advantage in double battles. I think in single battles the obvious strategy would be to make the annoyer be in the lead, use a single status-effecting move, and then switch out to a sweeper immediately.

Sweepers are good in single battles. So are walls, tanks, Baton Passers, and everyone else- that's the reason they're used. As for your strategy... it's not that simple. Statusing on turn one isn't a bad idea, but switching to a sweeper afterwards kind of is. The Poke you status could easily hit your sweeper on the switch, leaving you down one Poke, and at a disadvantage. Anyway, it's more that there a multitude of strategies to use in battles- you have to adjust them based on the situation. |
I like status-effecting moves such as Stun Spore because it is a win or lose situation for both players. All I have to do is to hope I get lucky and I grab the advantage right away. The move I like throughout Pokemon history was Confuse Ray. Even though it's based on luck, it helps a lot.
I heard there was an item that boosts accuracy for only 1 move like Sheer Cold. What was it again? |

And yes, the acc. boosting item is Wide Lens- it raises accuracy of all moves by 10% of the original acc. rate. However, for Sheer Cold, it only changes the 30% hit rate to 33%. In addition, Sheer Cold is a OHKO move, which are banned on Wi-Fi. |

You know by now I would think he knows this team isn't good :0 Or I would hope so.
You're going to want to trash Palkia, no one is going to battle you with an uber unless you're playing in ubers (and this is obviously not an uber metagame team). If you want to compete, I would also learn a bit more about the metagame so maybe you know a bit more about team building, that would help you a lot. Annoyers (with a few rare exceptions) are pretty much wastes of moveslots. Also, using stuff like Fly and Hyper Beam will only help in a losing effort. First off, if you want to use Infernape, one of its better sets is: Infernape @ Life Orb Trait: Blaze EVs: 24 Atk / 232 Spd / 252 SAtk Naive Nature (+Spd, -SDef) - Nasty Plot - Grass Knot - Close Combat - Flamethrower Mixed Infernape is a really tough cookie. It beats almost all bulky waters and counters to its physical set. For Roserade, you're going to want a more offense oriented build for something with awesome special attack like that. Roserade @ Choice Specs Trait: Natural Cure EVs: 4 HP / 252 Spd / 252 SAtk Modest Nature (+SAtk, -Atk) - Leaf Storm - Hidden Power [Fire] - Sludge Bomb / Energy Ball - Shadow Ball EVs probably need some help, but yeah. Specs Roserade's Leaf Storm hurts even more than a SpecsMence Draco Meteor. Luxray honestly is really bad and doesn't even help this team anyways, so I'd scrap it along with Palkia. As for Bronzong, it can be used so much better. Bronzong @ Leftovers Trait: Levitate Relaxed Nature (+Def, -Spd) - Gyro Ball - Earthquake - Rest / Hypnosis - Sleep Talk / Stealth Rock Honestly don't remember my EVs for this, but whatever you do, don't use Smogon's. Bronzong can do a lot of different things, so you can pick and choose. So yeah. |

Suggestions added... lol
I really want to keep Flash, that move helped me catch all the Legendaries with ease. Stun Spore did as well. For Palkia, I need Ancient Power to kill all the bird Pokemon that may appear, and it might up all his stats as well. Palkia is powerful enough to survive long battles and I was thinking of teaching him Double Team. I will throw him away soon because of Wi-Fi. Stay tuned... EV training, egg, and nature training will have to do later. I feel like taking some of my favorite Pokemon out of Ruby/Sapphire, Gold/Silver, and Red/Blue/Yellow. That'll be in another thread I suppose. OK here's the first Pokemon I will place first in battle: 1st... Bronzong - I will have to hope a Pokemon isn't super effective against Bronzong. If not - I will use both Reflect and Light Screen, use a few Flashes, and immediately switch to something that can kill the opposing Pokemon. If my Bronzong is weak against it, then I use Explosion or switch him out (perfect for the strongest Pokemon on the trainer's team). |
You aren't understanding where we're coming from. WiFi battlers aren't like wild pokemon or CPU trainers.
Hitting things for supereffective damage isn't even that important. For example, Return has 102 base power. On Snorlax, it will have 153 base power due to STAB (Same Type Attack Bonus). There is also Brick Break, which has 75 base power. While it lands a supereffective hit on something like Regice, Return would still do more because even with a doubled base power with Brick Break, it would only be 150 base power compared to Return's 153 base power. Therefore, using moves like Ancientpower to kill birds us not a good justification of the move's use, especially since STAB Dragon moves from Palkia would hit harder anyways, supereffective or not. Also, you aren't catching any pokemon battling these trainers, so using moves just to catch pokemon or to transport you places is 100% useless (ubnless it has some use outside of that, such as Surf). So things like Double Team and Flash should be avoided at all costs. |
