No EVs? Get some!
- No EVs? Get some! - No EVs? Get some! - No EVs? Get some! - No EVs? Get some! - No EVs? Get some! - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Electivire- Don't use Electivire as a lead, or at all... But if you really want to use him use this set, but still not as a lead. Electivire @ Life orb/ Expert Belt 252 Atk, 80 SpA, 176 Speed - Thunderbolt - Ice Punch - Cross Chop - Earthquake Lucario- Lucario is good, just add EVs; 252 Atk, 252 Speed. By the way, your Lucario is all physical; has no special attacks. But you could put HP Ice over Stone Edge to make it mixed and give it a Lonely nature. (put Ice Punch if you have Platinum) too lazy to go on... :D I'll rate the rest later. |
Besides Kanye's rant about EV's, on Lax, I recommend the Rest Talk set.
[email protected] Thick Fat Careful Nature EVs: 240 HP, 236 Sp.Def, 32 Def Moves: Rest Sleep Talk Crunch Body Slam Effective Special Wall and Status absorber. Much more effective than what you have now. Body Slam for STAB, Crunch for Gar, Rest for Recovery, Sleep Talk so you can attack in your sleep. |
Once I get my DS back I may check and add EVs :<
@Kayne West: Thunderbolt is special :S and I really want to keep him because he was hard to get, who should I use as a lead? @Matt-O: Rest only works for one turn and I have tried that set before but I find Curselax to be better for my team. |
Allow me, Mr. West.

Electivire needs Gyarados or Skarmory to keep its place. Otherwise, replace it with Suiczelf: Azelf @ Focus Sash Naive EV's: 252 Speed, 252 Special Attack, 4 HP -Stealth Rock -Taunt -Psychic -Explosion >> Electivire as your lead. You also need something that floats or flies as anything with Earthquake kills you. Scarfgar comes to mind: Gengar @ Choice Scarf Timid EV's: 252 Speed, 252 Special Attack, 4 HP -HP Ice -Focus Blast -Shadow Ball -Thunderbolt >> Alakazam. If you use Scarfgar, keep Infernape as NP Mixape. Hmm. That's all I can think of for now. The members of this site with more experience under their belts, such as Vance and D_A, will likely provide a better rate on this team than I can, as they can see threats better than I can and will likely provide better solutions. |

Physical Electivire sucks. Mix Physical based Electivire doesn't suck as bad, but still sucks.
Rest lasts for two turns. Gyarados rapes your team so I suggest replacing Weavile, I don't see it doing anything for you team, with Vaporeon and making your Snorlax Choice Band. EDIT: Wow, beaten. Quote:

75 BP Attacks? (I suggest scraping the whole team and starting over. I don't see it getting to far.) |
Why do you want to replace your Life Orbs for Infernape and Lucario? In both cases, it is absolutely essential to the extreme where they should not be used without a Life Orb.
The lineup seems really outdated to me. Electivire can only do something with a Motor Drive boost (which almost requires Gyarados) and a mixed sweeping set. Weavile is much the same as Electivire, hindered by having attacks with low base power and being walled very easily. NP Mixape is really only useful against stall, which is on the borderline of being totally obsolete. I would use Hidden Power Ice over Nasty Plot. CurseLax is also outdated, as it still can't take hits or dish them out effectively enough, including against special attackers, who are powerful enough to overpower Snorlax if you aren't careful. I would replace Electivire and Weavile, as neither are doing anything to help this team. RestTalk Snorlax is more effective than CurseLax for wallig, but if you want more of a "special tank" feel, then you could use CBlax (which hits a lot harder than Weavile does). With Infernape, as I already mentioned, HP Ice >>> NP will give it much-needed coverage. If you keep Electivire though, I will say that Thunderbolt/Ice Punch/Cross Chop/Earthquake is the WORST set it can run. Skarmory doesn't even switch in on Electivire to "wall" it (since it can't lol), and Thunderpunch 2HKOs it anyways. Skarmory is a rare sight these days anyways =/ You have to split your EVs, which either make Electivire slower or less powerful. Thunderbolt is really foolish unless you plan on using HP Ice and Flamethrower instead of EQ and Ice Punch (aka Mixvire, the only set that can do anything at all imo). EDIT: Agreeing with postman (Kanye West) that you should probably just scrap the team and start over. It has the whole "early DP" feel to it, which isn't exactly good =p Also... 'Why the hell should it matter that he was "hard to get?"' I'm just curious, but why should it matter to you if he wants to keep it? It's not like Lucario is the problem with this team or anything >_> |
Thank you DonRoyale for the amazing help, I did say I am new and go easy on me lol.
As you said to replace Weavile Kayne I was thinking of keeping Electivire as lead and then replacing it for Rotom-F or another form of Rotom as a floating or flying pokemon as DonRoyale said to do. |

Actually, I'm kinda surprised this was even approved in the first place. Seeing as it breaks our S&M rule of required description, Kyen. "Lead" or "Special sweeper" doesn't cut it.
I'll give you some time though, add some general description to each Pocket Monster and your RMT will be set. d(' 'd) Quote:

Change Thunder Punch on Infernape for HP Ice.
Thunder Punch really only hits Gyarados and it only 2HKOs. Grass Knot also 2HKOs it. HP Ice for Dragons and so you can still hit Flying types. |
Quote:

Scarfgar could replace Alakazam, your're still weak to EQ.
Might want to put NP on that Infernape, a Grass Knot is lethal, but HP Lighting over Thunderpunch any day, if your maxing out SP Atk then whats Thunderpunch for, Skarmory can lol at you. Snorlax curser is good,specially the Crunch. Cant help but feel Azelf is wasted as a lead there, but meh, like has been said, you havnt really got any great potential with this team, its rather standard, I can see it being predicted quickly. |
Quote:
Considering how that's a Scarf Infernape, NP would be garbage, unless you want enemies to just kill you. |
Quote:
Scarfed Infernape, meh.Get out something which resists it, or any wall and its useless.Infernape hasnt got a brilliant movepool, and it doesnt look like it could serve any point there, so I wouldnt recomend using Scarfnape, follows on from the prediction thing. Mixape any day, but its your team. Sorry for the confusion, im eating whilst typing lol. |
Quote:
I did say I would try to make a team that can work in competitive but with my fave pkmn, like I could never have Blissey in the team :< Suicelf gets the damage in before he goes down though ;) I had Mixape and was advised Scarf would be better and no told no but then yes and no :S |
Quote:
Only use Blissey if you have a Pokemon to absorb Physical attacks imo. Suicelf has a point, and Mixape-Scarfape are what people say, it depends what YOU want Infernape to do here. But im not the most skilled person at RMT's, I find it hard to type what I really mean, wait till Dark Azelf arrives. |

Quote:
Just a note, neither can take physical hits too well, however if you max Blisseys def, it take physical hits as good as a max hp scizor or spiritomb =]. Anyways, you ARE Gyarados weak. [email protected] Specs 252 DEF / 252 SP.ATT / 6 HP Modest Nature - Hydro Pump - Hidden power Electric - Ice Beam - Wish / Surf >> Alakazam imo. This will still give you a check to said dos, whilst you keep the sp.attacking capabilities. Mix Salamence >> Mix infernape imo, Pokemon @ fighting move lols at this team. Mence gives you a check to Lucario and what not, whilst still breaking walls. [email protected] Orb 80 ATT / 252 SP.ATT / 176 SPEED Rash Nature - Brick Break - Roost - Flamethrower - Draco meteor You could also get away with a CB Snorlax set, but thats up to you. |
Thank you for the advice, any other opinions?
