Forest-themed team - RMT
So far, I've got these five, what should I put in my 6th slot? And I'd like to keep it a Grass-type if possible, I've been thinking of Abomnasnow, or one of the flowers. Note to mods, I do not consider this a battling thread, I'm not asking people to let me try this out, yet.
Torterra - Adamant w/ Lum Berry 252 Atk / 6 Def / 252 Spe Rock Polish Earthquake Wood Hammer Crunch Ursaring - Jolly w/ Toxic Orb (Quick Feet) 6 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spe Facade Crunch Earthquake Swords Dance Swampert - Relaxed w/ Leftovers 240 HP / 216 Def / 52 SpA Earthquake Ice Beam Muddy Water Protect Ninetales - Timid w/ Wide Lens 6 HP / 252 SpA / 252 Spe Nasty Plot Fire Blast Energy Ball Hypnosis Breloom - Adamant w/ Toxic Orb (Poison Heal) 44 HP / 252 Atk / 212 Spe Spore Mach Punch Seed Bomb Stone Edge/Rock Slide |
Frikin sweet. But if its forest themed why not keckleon or houndoom. Its a wolf aint it?

this belongs in strategy and movesets...

Definately one of the best teams i've ever seen. But I wouldn't recommend Abomasnow, as it takes super effective hits from 7 different types. How about Shiftry
Shiftry 6 HP / 252 SAtk / 252 Spd Mild Nature Leaf Storm Dark Pulse Hidden Power[Fire/Ice] Energy Ball |
RMT's belong in Strategies and Movesets.

What the hell is so great about Muddy Water? >_< Come on, guys. XP
Switch out Muddy Water for Surf. I stopped attempting to read it after Muddy Water. |

But in terms of why I chose it was merely to fit the theme/gimmick. Quote:

You definitely need some special walling. Try Blissey or Suicune, they're pretty fantastic. On Ursaring you would need Flame Orb over Toxic Orb since the Poison from the Toxic Orb inflicts damage that accelerates over turns. Within three turns, the damage you take from Toxic is already more than Burn. With that being said, Burns take less health from you and thus the Flame Orb should be used. As for Torterra, it rarely uses Rock Polish. Rock Polish is terrible on most Pokemon, and I'd highly advise you NOT to use it. Breloom rarely goes without Focus Punch. Try Spore/Substitute/Focus Punch/Seed Bomb.

But don't Burns lower your ATK stat? That wouldn't be all that good for my Ursaring, if it was Sp. Atk on the other hand, then I'd see where you're coming from. I know Rock Polish isn't used much, but that's part of the appeal to me, something new, something fresh, nearly original. I think it'd be good on my Torterra. I don't trust being able to stay in the clear long enough for Focus Punch to work, and I don't like the psychology behind Substitute. Thanks much for the help though, it truly is appreciated. |
[QUOTE=DavyJones4our;3651193]How is it "hax" or cheap? It's a perfectly legitimate move that Swampert can learn. It is a great move for my team, I'm a lot more about theatrics and having fun with it instead of competing super-seriously.[/QUOTE]
Lowering people's accuracy? That's kind of like using Brightpowder. Therefore, why I considered it "Hax & cheap." And, uh, for the bolded portion, if you're using it competively, (posting the title as "RMT.") then you won't be able to get ° A match without someone complaining, and ° A fair match since you won't be using super-competitive moves and stuff. |
You really wanna swap muddy water for surf. Theme is all well and good but not when it's lowering your chances of winning. Opponents are only going to switch out of it anyway.
But yeah, atm you need walls. Change torterra for the following: [email protected] Impish 212HP/252Def/40Spd Wood Hammer Stone Edge/Earthquake Leech seed Stealth Rock This poke tanks far better than it sweeps. Speed EVs to outspeed Tyranitar As for a special wall, celebi fits in nicely, being the guardian of the forests: [email protected] Calm 252HP/220SpDef/36Spd Psychic/Grass Knot Heal Bell Leech Seed Recover Standard cleric set but with SpDef in the plae of defence. Leech Seed and Recover make this poke extremely difficult to shift. The speed EVs are there for a reason, though I cannot remember it :) |
Hi, um... i'm new, but...
I think abamasnow, in certain situations would be a good choice... And i'm not saying it because i'm an Ice type trainer |

Once again, I don't see how Brightpowder would be "hax & cheap", those are things put into the game and are obtained without hacking it. It's part of a giant strategy (as I'm sure you know, it just seems like you've had one too many encounters with being dis-accuraciedishingly). Just because I don't use the commonly competitive moves, doesn't mean I won't be able to fare in competitions as well. I've faced people from my home-message board and have done pretty well (with my pirate-themed team, mind you; but still, the whole notion of fun-first compete-second yet still being able to fair is where I'm getting at) along with the random battles on PBR. |
Ice- types would really help in a place like Eterna gym, battle zone, and abamosnow would be use ful against grounds, because it has two type advantages

umm... hi? uhhh... anybody care about my opinions? abamosnow has good attack and defense... or mine does, with no vitamins... oh and awesome special!

2) Possibly 3) What? Also what makes those items "hax" if they're in the game, and available to use, without cheating? |
[QUOTE=DavyJones4our;3651260]Yeah as I stated before (I think) I was considering Abomnasnow, but now when I really think about it, I think the two main reasons I was looking at it was due to it being a grass-type and Wood Hammer, not sure if it'd really fit in with my team though.

I made an edit to my post. XP I quoted Serebii, since you seem to be needing proof... |

I have experience with Rock Polish, and it was a terrible one. I've tried using Rock Polish on some of my walls, and it isn't as good at it seems. Spore/Sub/Focus Punch is a widely used strategy and arguably the best. You simply Spore first, then the opponent will stay asleep or switch out. On that turn is the time you Substitute, and you don't have to worry about the Health loss since Poison Heal restores the HP loss from Substitute in about three turns. You'll be able to get at least one Focus Punch in, which is really strong. 150 Base Power is enough, not to mention STAB. STAB makes Focus punch 225 Base Power from Breloom's high attack stat. Even if it is a not-very-effective hit, the Focus Punch is still 112 base Power. Quote:

Hmm...once this is done, I'll try the Rock Polish for a bit, and if it's as you say, then I'll promptly and quickly take it out. Yeah, I do understand that Breloom strategy, it's just not my style. I'm not knocking it, or anything, please don't get me wrong; it's just not my thing, it's strictly my own naive ways taking a hold of me. Ooohhh @ hax, ok, makes some sense now. Thank you very much. Though, I'm still on the search for a 6th member to fit my team. The two I were considering included: Vileplume or Parasect. |
