help my steel team please
 
ok I've decided to stick with this team
so far they've all been raised to Lv. 20
so now I'm gonna need a bit of help with their moves
Here's what I've got so far, and I'm gonna go with
Frosty's suggestion for skarmory

Skarmorny - Skar
-Keen Eye-Lonely-
@???
Swift
Agility
Steel Wing
Aerial Ace

Pineco = Forretress - Tanker
-Sturdy-Naughty
@?
Strength
Giga Drain
Earthquake
Selfdestruct

Bedlum - Metarach
-Clear Body-Brave
@???
Psychick
Metal Claw
Brick Break
Shadow Ball

Aron - Pangea
-Rock Head-Adamant
@???
Aerial Ace
Body Slam
Rock Tomb
Metal Claw

Magnemite - Neutron
-Magnet Pull-Rash
@?
Sonic Boom
Metal Sound
Thunderbolt
Supersonic

Onix - Meterra
-Adamant-Rock Head
@??
Return
Screech
Earthquake
Rock Throw

that's what I have so far, I'm gonna take the suggestion already made
for some of the pokemon namely Skarmory

I was wondering since both skarmory and forretress can learn spikes
would it be really bad to have them both know spikes & toxic?

Let's see, I can definately help with some of these.

Nature:+Def, - Sp Att
EV: HP 252, Att 129, Def 129
Spikes
Whirlwind/Roar
Toxic
Drill Peck/HP Ground

[email protected]
Nature: + Def, - Sp Def
EV: 129 HP, 252 Att, 129 Speed
Agility
Earthquake
Meteor Mash
Psychic

Contains a surprise for anyone expecting a pure physical sweeper. Good as an anti-pseudohazer.

Nature: + Att, - Sp Att
EV: 252 Att, 129 Def, 129 Sp Def.
Thunder Wave
Rock Slide
Aerial Ace
HP Poison

HP Poison = another surprise, and an excellent anti-Ludicolo.

[email protected] Berry
Thunderbolt
HP Fire
Supersonic
Lock-On

HP Fire gives you a way to damage other Steel types. Lock On/Supersonic for confusion fun :-) Houndoom is this Pokemon's worst enemy

Pure Steel teams are very vunerable to Fire types, so be warned. Since you have Skarmory I'd recommend you drop Forretress for Scizor.

Standard moves aren't the best when the situation is so different such as all steep team...

Skarmory- [atk or speed + / sp.atk -] @ leftovers
EV: atk, speed
-Drill peck
-HP ground
-spike
-roar

Never understood what's so good about toxic on Skarm when other attacks tend to be more effective...

Forretress- [atk + / sp.atk -] @ leftovers/quick claw
EV: atk, def, hp
-earthquake
-HP Bug
-spikes/rapid spin
-explosion/rapid spin

*Metagross- [sp.atk + / atk -] @ lum berry
EV: sp.atk, def, hp
-psychic
-HP Special
-meteor mash/agility
-explosion

Besides Magneton, Metagross is the next possible steel type special attacker (well since Registeel didn't seem to be included for this team). Special movesets for this case only...

Aggron- [atk + / sp.atk -] @ leftovers
EV: atk, def, hp
-focus punch
-HP Ghost
-thunder wave
-substitute

Magneton- [sp.atk or speed + / atk -] @ quick claw
EV: sp.atk, speed
-thunderbolt
-HP Special
-thunder wave
-metal sound

Steelix- [atk + / sp.atk -] @ quick claw
EV: atk, hp, def
-rock slide
-HP ghost
-roar
-explosion

lol it's almost a blow-up team...

Ice demon August 23rd, 2004 6:02 PM

Lol gengar really has made an impact.........
IMO spiking, roaring, resting and drill pecking skarm works wonders

as for magnaton u may want to consider thunderdancing for some variety but IMO frosty's moveset works the best.

VanirElf August 24th, 2004 5:45 AM

thanks you guys, that really helps a lot.

...I'd completely forgetten about szicor...but what to replace 'cuz
I really like skarmory

frostweaver I think the thing with skarmory and toxis is that
since it can learn spikes and it's releatively fast for a steel type
u can force u'r opponent to be switching out a lot 'cuz of the poison
or whatever...I dunno

uh...what do you guys think of any of them having sandstorm
steel type doesn't get hurt by it remember?
is it any help at all??

Frostweaver August 24th, 2004 6:04 AM

if you're getting Scizor, I'll take out Aggron as that thing has poor poor types x_x;

Steel types maybe immune to sandstorm but i dont' think it's worth the slots to insert it really...
