Reducing the speed when you can reduce a useless stat (SpAtt) is stupid, unles on trickstorm sets ect. But on a lead it's terrible, especially a dragon dancer. No sash, the sheer quantity of weather teams out there screw it over. Stone edge isnt doing much for this set, fire punch is a better choice, it also allows you to actually dent fire types that avoid ground moves (Skarmory, Zong ect). I do NOT recommend leading with this

Skarmory @Leftovers
Impish
Stealth Rock
Brave Bird
Whirlwind
Roost
Brave Bird is a better choice, it hits harder and you can easily roost off recoil damage. Set's fine otherwise

Crobat @Life Orb
Adamant
Cross Poison
Confuse Ray
Aerial Ace
U-turn
Im presuming you'll be running max speed on this, and if you're not you should. But jolly is overkill, adamant for an attacking set pleash.

Blissey @Leftovers
Bold/Calm
Ice Beam
Thunder Wave
Softboiled
Seismic Toss
Looks ok, nature depends on if you're running the new or old standard set.

Metagross @Choice Band
Adamant
Pursuit
Meteor Mash
Explosion
Earthquake
Fine, but again, watch for levitating steels.

Salamence @Choice Specs
Modest
Fire Blast
Dragon Pulse
Hydro Pump
Draco Meteor
I rate fire blast highly on this thing, mainly because this team gets stalled easily by Zong and skarmory, so you'll wanna get rid of them asap

Meh, most of the sets look ok. It's too physically orientated for my liking, switch one for a special attacker. You're also very ice weak, with only one resist you could be in trouble if gross goes down.

Bad Crobat set is bad.


Ive aready posted this elsewhere

Awesome bulky lead bat, 85/80/80 defenses are pretty good, makes a nice counter to breloom and can screw up most common leads, ive also found it makes a nice PHazer for some reason =o.Note Brave Bird is illegal with Hypnosis, so yeah.

I don't really see much use in Crobat in general, to be honest. He can be a good annoyer, but almost any rock/steel physical wall will lawl at him. Just be careful of who you're annoying. xD

And you're supposed to keep him on those... why?

Meh. Status Isn't relevant, and it would be better if you had jotted the EVs down, then you could remember them.

To be honest, Crobat doesn't really fit into this team, replace him with some else.

Run AP in there somewhere on Blissey. SR could hurt 4 pokemon on your team, really, since 25% on Skarmory is still something to be wary about. Rapid Spinner is needed. That could be your replacement for Crobat.

AlexPriest March 25th, 2008 11:44 AM

Yeah, I was actually thinking of throwing a rapid spinner in there to replace Crobat. It's just that Crobat's been the difference, for better or worse in several of my battles. I'll probably train up a rapid spinner anyways, though, since most of the help crobat tributes comes from pure luck.

Meh. I wouldn't rely on that always. You aren't always going to get hax. ;)
