You need a better physical wall then Torterra. Steelix would be a good choice, even a Drapion aces Torterra's Defence. and don't have both Empoleon and Regice as special walls, they're too similar, for the love of all that is holy use a blissey!

Random Guy March 26th, 2008 12:45 PM

Lol, Blissey is in OU not BL.

Slaking (M) @ Choice Band
Ability: Truant
EVs: 6 HP/252 Atk/252 Spd
Adamant nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Return
- Pursuit
- Fire Punch
- Earthquake
Everything's fine except you might not want to lead with Slaking. Some leads do have Protect and Substitute which can easily take advantage on Slaking's ability.

Torterra (M) @ Leftovers
Ability: Overgrow
EVs: 212 HP/252 Def/44 SDef
Impish nature (+Def, -SAtk)
- Wood Hammer
- Leech Seed/ Synthesis
- Earthquake
- Stealth Rock
Torterra's a decent pokemon but there are other better physical walls than him. Steelix does a good job and surprisingly, Tangrowth is also in BL so he's usable as well.

Crobat (M) @ Leftovers
Ability: Inner Focus
EVs: 160 HP/216 Spd/132 SAtk
Timid nature (+Spd, -Atk)
- Nasty Plot
- Haze
- Air Slash/ Sludge Bomb
- Dark Pulse/ Shadow Ball
I see this is your hazing pokemon but besides that, Crobat is sort of a dead weight on your team. You need a special sweeper too and Crobat can be that as well as a Hazer. Or you can try this set:

Crobat (M) @Leftovers
Ability: Inner Focus
EVs: 160 HP / 132 Att / 216 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Haze
- U-Turn
- Taunt
- Hypnosis/ Aerial Ace
---
Gallade (M) @ Leftovers
Ability: Steadfast
EVs: 244 HP/160 Atk/104 Spd
Adamant nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Will-o-wisp
- Psycho Cut
- Close Combat
- Hypnosis
Ok...

Empoleon (M) @ Leftovers
Ability: Torrent
EVs: 252 HP/6 SAtk/252 SDef
Calm nature (+SDef, -Atk)
- Surf
- Ice Beam
- Yawn
- Grass Knot
Here's one of your biggest problems. You seemingly have two special walls in Empoleon and Regice. Get rid of one of them and replace it with a Rapid Spinner or a Cleric such as Miltank.
---
Regice @ Leftovers
Ability: Clear Body
EVs: 252 HP/252 Def/6 SDef
Calm nature (+SDef, -Atk)
- Thunderbolt
- Psych Up
- Ice Beam
- Thunder Wave
Same as above, getting rid on either one of your special walls for something else. But both your special walls have acceptable movesets.

Your team is decent but I see Alakazam with Focus Blast coming in and doing some serious damage. Aerodectyle might also rip through this side.

quintowill March 26th, 2008 2:53 PM

This is what I will do. Replace Regice with Milkank
Leftovers
252HP/224Def/32Speed
Scrappy
Body Slam
Milk Drink
Earthquake
Heal Bell

Use the Crobat you mentioned with Air Slash ans Dark Pulse, since they cover the most types.

Replace Earthquake with Stone Edge on Torterra and Stealth Rock over Sub.

Sora_8920 March 26th, 2008 2:56 PM

Actually, replace Empoleon, as Regice is better. I've tried it, It's one of my faves. Edit: Ah yes. you do need a cleric. I'd go for a Rapid Spinner too since Crobat is weak to SR. I'd also change the EV Spread on Regice, as he needs a LOT more special defense.

shedinjask March 26th, 2008 3:40 PM

Regice actually doesn't need a lot more SDef. Just max its HP and toss a few EVs in and you're fine. It does need lots of Def though, and maybe some SAttk.

I am seconding Steelix over Empoleon/Torterra and put Hypnosis on Crobat.

Cloud_85 March 26th, 2008 3:50 PM

Ok, your walls need some recover, I run the Sleep Talker Regice, really amazing BoltBeam+Rest Talk Pwns. And the status absorb wil be a plus... And yes take out empoleon, and run a better Def Wall.
You are too weak to fighting, so Drapion, Uxie and Tangrowth are fine options, and you could suport them with a Mismagius as a Special wall and a Fighting moves absorver
And here your only Rapid Spin choice is Blastoise, so you can pick a good one from UU, Claydol. This guy will help you with RS and with your fighting weakness. This boy with Darapion to handle Ghost-Dark and Regice as a Sp.Wall Willl absolutly PWN

And I really never heard of a BL Metagame so I really do the best that I can... XD

PD:You will want some Sp.Atk on Regi

Anti March 26th, 2008 4:34 PM

BL Teams...I just don't get it >.>

Either way, you'll want to keep Psych Up on Regice or Raikou has a locked 6-0 of this team. You really don't need empoleon, so Steelix would, as others have said, be awesome.

sims796 March 27th, 2008 6:11 AM

Torterra is, quite literally, NOT a wall. He is a tank.

Dark Azelf March 27th, 2008 7:54 AM

Ewwww bad Regice set is bad



[email protected]
252 HP / 252 DEF / 6 SP.DEF
Calm Nature
- Rest
- Sleep Talk
- Seismic Toss
- ice Beam

S-Toss is better for BL play than t-bolt, due to CMKou
