An ice type would obliterate your team, try to balance them out more. And you will need more than just attack moves for competative Wifi. Take your time in planning, because Kingdra doesn't need Surf and Hydro Pump.

Help, This should be moved to strategies and movesets!

But besides that.
You should never teach your pokemon fly for competitive battling.
You should give them one type of move (Special or Physical) unless they are mixed.

A little help is an understatement. Post in S&M and people will give you advice there (and most likely tear your team apart in the process).

Like Mo Man said, in the S&M section they will make your team miles better and tear it apart in the process

Hmm... Never use Fly in competitive. They can switch to something else on the 1st turn while you use Fly wasting the move.

BTW, TBH, levels aren't important.

Kingdra: HP Electric > Hydro Pump if you're worried about accuracy. Otherwise choose it over Surf.

Aerial Ace is kind of meh on a special sweeper, use Ice Beam > it.

3 dragons? You don't really need all 3 of them... =p

EV's and natures please? We can't do anything without them... And for your first team you should just use Smogon basic sets.

Shadow236 July 4th, 2008 7:19 PM

I will post all of that information soon. I could use the help.
I am thinking of getting rid of my Altaria's fly for Draco Meteor.

You have a Tier issue in your team. Latias is Uber, and the others are a mix of OU through UU. You should really pick a Tier and stick with it.

You also have a major weakness to anything with a Dragon or Ice type move; as your entire team is Dragons.

We do need evs, natures, items before we can do anything.

[email protected] is uber currently.

Fly is awful. Once you use it, on the second turn i get a free switch in for a resist.

2 moves of the same type on one poke is generally bad aswell, unless they serve different purposes. (AKA Ice Shard & Ice Fang).

The sets are all over the place aswell go to Smogon, for basic sets etc.

Weaknesses to the same type are coming out of the woodwork here aswell, this is bad.

Anyways, i would suggest reading the stickies here, they will help loads.
