personally the AI in the game was challenging and i just dont agree with you srry. i still think my strategy is pretty good. |
The fact that you relate to most of that list explains why you find the AI challenging. No problem with that. Everyone has their own skill level. Unfortunately for those that are better skilled, it is difficult to obtain a challenge from the pathetic AI without making some drastic adjustments. For instance, when I play in-game, I am not allowed to level up my Pokemon any higher than the highest Pokemon that the current gym leader has. I also do not use any items during battle. No Potions, No Full Restore, NOTHING. A few things like that at least provide a little bit of a challenge.
I am also glad you enjoy your strategy and by all means continue to utilize it. Like I said, the only problem I had with that strategy is your presumption that it was the best. |

* lol i feel so old talk about this * |
Round-about training is good. That is exactly what I do. I do it a little differently though, in that I am aware of what EV points a wild Pokemon will give me. If a wild Pokemon will give me points in a stat I don't want (i.e. Spd EV on Snorlax????), I will run, run away.
I also only use 2-3 Pokemon on my team through the game, along with a few HM slaves. Thanks for the old comment too. heh |

what are EV's? i never understood that and np btw bout the comment |
As we are now off-topic, I will reply to you elsewhere. I did have a write-up in Strategies & Movesets a few years ago, but it looks like it has been replaced with one that includes DDP.

well if your gonna do a D/P move set then why not try this? double team toxic giga impact crunch |
While we are talking DP, what would be the ideal moves for a Houndoom?
|
Giga impact = hyper beam = roar of time = hydro canon = blast burn = frenzy plant = POINTLESS in competitive battling. (or so I've heard.)
Remember that now. They work in-game sometimes, but low PP + recharge time = epic failure. I hope you hacked/cloned/traded for a lot of PP maxes. Draco meteor is actually quite good. Many of the members in my uber team fall to it. I have an attack-oriented team most of the time, and I rarely see draco meteor outside of ubers. Maybe it's because I haven't battled a lot. I once had a draco meteor dialga, which owned the opponents not smart/fast enough to OHKO it. (didn't last long, as it wasn't EV-trained, plus it was docile-natured. big mistake, I know.) Now, the world will fear my fully EVed draco meteor dialga! You should know that I love battling ubers, in-game and competitively. It's a passion of mine. ^_^; |

How is Wolflairs strategy going? Progress. It's a good strategy. |
Houndoom moveset:
Houndoom Item: Life Orb Ability: Flash Fire Nature: Timid EVs: 40 HP/ 252 SpA/ 216 Spe Moveset: ~ Nasty Plot ~ Hidden Power [Ground]/ Will-o-Wisp ~ Dark Pulse ~ Fire Blast Ask me if you want a R/S/E moveset for him, also, I have more movesets for him as I love all the Wolf Pokemon! :) |
First off, ignore all those idiots who say that Poochyena and Mightyena are bad Pokemon. They're not. *points to sig* Even in normal colours, they own.
Secondly, I think it's been said, but you don't need Bite; especially not twice. I wouldn't go for Swagger, either, because it's too risky. It's up to you, but Double Team would be much more useful. Just Double Team into oblivion, and then wreck a terrible reign of destruction upon that unfortunate Pokemon, whatever it may be. And laugh as it tries to attack you. I rest my case. |
I know it is hard to accept since you are obviously a big fan of them, but they truly are not very good Pokemon. Mightyena has a base stat total of 420, which ties for 181 out of 389 Pokemon (all Deoxys forms included). That is the same total as Dragonair, Metang, Shelgon, and *gulp* Castform. Of its base stats, it has a below average of 60 for SAtk, and very average 70 for Spd, meaning it cannot even take advantage of STAB very well or have the necessary speed to at least get an attack in first. On top of that, it has a BRUTAL movepool. You know you are limited when Iron Tail and Poison Fang are among the best options as moves.
BTW - Poochyena has a base stat total of a measly 220, which is tied for 370 out of 389, along with the craptastic Seedot and the craptacular Lotad. I should also note that is BARELY ahead of Kakuna and Metapod. It doesn't get much worse than that. Like them all you want, but calling them "good" or saying they "own" is quite a stretch. |
