Bronzong's wickedness
Can anyone give me suggestions to perfect this team? I am on a roll with this line-up.
1. Bronzong @ Light Clay Ability: Levitate EVs: 255 Def/255 SDef Careful nature (+SDef, -SAtk) - Hypnosis - Trick Room - Reflect - Light Screen --- 2. Machamp (M) @ Choice Band Ability: Guts EVs: 255 Def/255 SDef Naughty nature (+Atk, -SDef) - Fire Punch - Thunderpunch - Ice Punch - Cross Chop --- 3. Blaziken (M) @ Choice Band Ability: Blaze EVs: 255 Atk/255 Def Naughty nature (+Atk, -SDef) - Earthquake - Flare Blitz - Thunderpunch - Brick Break --- 4. Blastoise (M) @ Choice Specs Ability: Torrent EVs: 255 HP/255 SAtk Modest nature (+SAtk, -Atk) - Ice Beam - Hidden Power [Fire] - Hydro Pump - Yawn --- 5. Torterra (M) @ Choice Band (I am thinking of using Abomasnow instead) Ability: Overgrow EVs: 255 Atk/255 SDef Naughty nature (+Atk, -SDef) - Stone Edge - Earthquake - Grass Knot - Crunch --- 6. Spiritomb (M) @ Choice Specs Ability: Pressure EVs: 255 Def/255 SAtk Modest nature (+SAtk, -Atk) - Psychic - Shadow Ball - Hypnosis - Calm Mind --- My strat here is to have all the choice items on my offensive pokemon. Bronzong is the one who using Trick Room and Reflect/Light Screen whenever necessary. Since my team consists of slow pokes, turning the battle into trick room will eliminate any speedy pokes and of course Choice Scarf. Move order: I usually use Reflect/Light Screen first, then use Trick Room. Sometimes before I use Trick Room, I go out on an all out offensive and then switch back to Bronzong immediately. I have two options: use Trick Room only or simply use again the "Reflect/Light Screet" + "Trick Room" combo to double the effect. Of couse, this strategy won't work if Bronzong faints quickly (he didn't regually during my battles) or gets hypnotized. Any suggestions? I am sure there are some other strong super defensive slow pokes out there... http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k166/MWarfare/team.png lol |
Why do you have so many Choice items on all of your Pokemon? Including a Spiritomb with Calm Mind. O_O
|

I would eliminate the waste of a move slot that is Blastoise with Yawn and Spiritomb with Calm Mind.
When using Choice Items, you have to be really picky and careful. Remember, only one move can be used the entire time a Pokemon is in battle (until it's switched out). |
If you need Brozong alive take out Light Scean or Reflect, and put Rest (Don't remove both). Also Have 5 choice banders means that you will be walled so ugly T_T

All my comments are in red... Also, be forewarned, as you mentioned, if Zong if KO'ed or if you face a SLOWER team, this plan doesn't work... Look for replacements if that happens... In addition, most of your team has the Wrong natures to pull this off... Refer to Serebii for details..... If someone else has better ideas, then by all means, oversee my thoughts... But I think I got this one down.... |
C'mon dude, Tell my if SE don't covers Ice Weakness on T-Terra???

Raziel, rfather than saying WRONG!, why not give some replacements? |

As for this team, I must be honest. I just...don't get it. Even if you have speed on your side, half of your sweepers aren't very powerful and several weaknesses plague this team. I would either go for the gold with a clean sweep and get more powerful sweepers that can use TR (I'm looking at you, Marowak and Medicham). there are better pokemon to be running Choice Specs over Blastoise, for example. Porygon-Z and Roserade are a few examples. that's about all I can say, I'm not very good with TR teams. |
As a matter of fact, that entire rate was horrible, Raziel. Just awful. Nobody ever uses Foresight, and to prepare for it is amaturish at best.

Choicing each and every one of your sweepers is a horrible idea. Now you need to switch every time. That is an amaturish move right there, and opens you up to a whole new level of weanesses. Your EV spreads are terrible. You try too hard to make them survivable, and take hits they have no place taking. You have no real walls, and your entire team, as I said, is too reliant on ONE Trick user. Or, Trick Room in general. Why did you give your "SWEEPERS" EVs in everything but defense? there is no point in fixing the movesets, as this team must be reset from scratch. You have no form of walls, and easily walled all over by any powerful sweeper. There is no point in giving this a real rate, have a look at our stickies. I am weak with EVs, so someone else will have to do those. |
I am just in a rush to create a team, that's all. I don't have all the time in the world to play Pokemon, study the moves, and master it. One thing is that I am from here -EDITED- and -EDITED-
What I realize in Pokemon is that is based on luck to win. Sometimes your stratedgy goes according to plan, but sometimes it doesn't and you'll end up having to change teams based on how your opponent plays. So since you really can't stick to one team, I don't have time for that. Here are better pokes I saw: 1. Bronzong 2. Machamp 3. Hitmonchan 4. Empoleon 5. Abomasnow 6. Heracross But bah... |

As for changing your team to react to an opponent's, this is largely untrue- a good team should be balanced and well-rounded enough to counter as many threats in the metagame as possible, meaning you shouldn't need to change your team often. Lastly, Pokemon (like all games of skill) takes time to get good at. If you can't invest that time, don't expect to get good. Of course, it's not hard to invest that time- unless you work 16 hours a day. |
Spitfire, there's no need to take offense to people's criticisms. It's true: If you don't put some time and effort into your plan, you won't get that good. And, to be frank, that team just isn't good. I've seen worse, but this is the team that one could use to play IN-GAME, not so much competitively.
|
Well, remember guys, he's 19, and if he Isn't lying about his age, (which I doubt he would be). then he could have a job by now.
But yeah, they're 100% correct, invest the time, or no reward comes out of it. |
Last off-topic post, but not having much time isn't the best excuse. He could easilly learn the things needed to trive overnight, and with practice. All it would take is about a week, including a long shift, to get somewhat good at battling. Or even better, strategizing. Throwing together a random team is no way to strategize, but if he got this far, he could learn more in just a few hours, or, as I said, a week, on a full schedule.
|
Umm... I'm a twenty-year-old pastry chef, I work 45 hours a week on average in addition to a load of college classes AND a social life. No time? Really?

Also, your age Isn't shown, so how could I know? My point is, everyone doesn't have as much as time as we do. And they could have a busy life. |
No worries. I wasn't offended. HE said he didn't have time. It was the excuse given. I'm saying that if I have time with that schedule, I doubt he's putting that much effort into it.

Quote:
Regardless, enough with the useless counter-post. It doesn't help with his team. All he needs to do is practice and learn more. Read those threads about proper team building. |

Let's not let this turn into a discussion of the time needed to master battling. ^^;

Oh, I get it. Took me a full minute to realize it didn't say what I hoped it didn't say. What needs to be done has been said. Practice, is what this guy needs. Strategies isn't something that is done so easily as a one-two combo. |
