Rate my Ruby Team Please?
 
Ok hopefully this is a team I can stick with...this is my 'dream team' and since I only have ruby the movesets correspond accordingly...

Skarmory - Leftovers
Adamant, EVs-200/HP 200/DEF 110/SPD
Ability: Sturdy
Drill Peck
Spikes
Roar
??

Milotic - Leftovers
Calm, EVs-200/HP 200/SDEF 110/SATK
Surf
Ice Beam
Toxic
Recover

Ninetales - Lum Berry
Modest, EVs 200/SA 200/SD 110/SPD
Will O Wisp
Confuse Ray
Flamethrower
Hidden Power (Ice)

Heracross - Salac Berry
Jolly, EVs 255/ATK 255/SPD
Ability: Swarm
Megahorn
Brick Break
Endure
Reversal

Salamence - Lum Berry
Lonely, EVs 200/HP 200/SD 110/DEF
Dragon Dance
Earthquake
Aerial Ace
Hydro Pump

I'm stumped for the last slot...could someone suggest which type I should fill this spot with and what role the pokemon should play?

Also I'm not sure what to use as a 6th move for skarmory since toxic is going to milotic and I wasted my rest TM already.

I'm open to all suggestions for change...except for Skarmory, since I already EV trained it in the game....the rest are totally open to change

Skarm- protect then if rest or toxic or HP are not available

Milotic- yeah...

Ninetales- even if it's tested to be HP Ice, the power varies from 31 to 70... if it's a low powered HP then it's not worth using... I'll rather put in quick attack as your team needs a QAer too

Heracross- brick break AND reversal are still rather wasting space to me even if the two are used in different situations... I'll personally take out brick break for return.

Salamence- in 202 situation, I'll rather use Fire Blast or flamethrower instead of Hydro Pump as Aerodactyl doesn't exist


as for the last slot, perhaps something to take down Dusclops and Claydol? Perferably someone with Shadowball then... whoever that is going to be.

Thanks frostweaver, you're always incredibly helpful. Do my EVs and natures look ok to you?

Ice demon August 21st, 2004 6:43 PM

Well i find that HP grass works wonders on ninetales but.........QA does its job


IMO but toxic on Skarmory and confuse ray on milotic....
but that milotic by itself rocks XD

Frostweaver August 21st, 2004 7:40 PM

It's real game so there's no HP used. He also said that Toxic tm is used already on Milotic so Skarmory can't toxic or HP Ground.

Ice demon August 21st, 2004 7:55 PM

Sorry didn't read the part with the toxic.......
oh well.....then i guess u should rest ur skarm and quick attack ur ninetales.
best i can do ingame.

Splashing Mew August 21st, 2004 9:57 PM

Hm all I gotta suggest is... Dive or surf on Milotic. It stalls for a turn, this way you take less damage, while they take more.

~Splash

Ice demon August 21st, 2004 10:11 PM

He already has surf on milotic and dive is something only for Ludicolo IMO...

Frostweaver August 21st, 2004 10:16 PM

Not really... even on Ludicolo it's horrible. It gives the opponent a chance to switch into something to take down Ludicolo.

Ice demon August 22nd, 2004 7:28 PM

blah i know its the same thing for fly but if it has to go anywhere it will go on that guy...........................
IMO switching is not for me its the DD/SD/CM/BD that happen while he is underwater...............

interesting team but where's the last member?
what level are these pokemon at?

here's what apparently is standard for a skarmory

Drill peck
roar/whirlwind
spikes
toxic

they're pretty annoying moves and they work so go with it

Milotic
toxic / hypnosis
ice beam
hydro pump
dragonbreath/safeguard

what level is yours at?
at 100 it's hp stats should be well over 300
if u go with hypnosis,(egg move) u won't be able to get dragon
breath so i'd say use safeguard then
U could try mirror coat but it's special def stat is naturally very high
so it wouldn't be so great unless u get hit by an electric or grass move
but yeah there you are, Milotic it's the best ain't it?

Your ninetales looks ok to me

I've never raised heracross before so I couldn't say

Salamence
dragon dance
earthquake
aerial ace
brick break

I know u already have a fighter
but salamence is much faster than heracross and brick break
is super agains both ice and rock pokemon which it's weak to
so a dragon dance or two and they shouldn't be a problem

I don't actually know which version you're playing so the last memeber of your
team is kind of hard. well since you don't have any psychic types

I recommend this

Gardevoir
Psychic
Calm Mind
Will-O-Wisp
Thunderbolt

that's probably the standard gardevoir
if u already used u'r calm mind TM don't worry it learns the move on it's
own. for will-O-wisp u'll need to breed with either a Shuppet or dusclops
they learn the move around their mid 30's buy the thunderbolt TM
Gardevoir is fast and so a good opener, u only need to catch a female
ralts to do it so it'll take u half as long as it would if u wanted a PURE breed.
anyway , good luck with your team
