Intro:
Heyo. I am back, and I am here to try Competitive battling once again. Though, this time, it is in Double battling. So, I searched the internet, looking for a great team I could copy to perfection. I am kidding, but there is a team that I really liked, and it was called Gigatitan, named after the user who created it. Now, I have changed up a few of the Pokemon and strategy, and with that, you get Gagagigas. Strategy: Togekiss and Driftblim are sent out. Togekiss uses Taunt (learned via daddy knowing it), so this team isn’t destroyed, since it basically relies on non-attacking moves while using it. Meanwhile, Driftblim Stockpiles 1. Togekiss uses Follow Me for the next two turns, letting Driftblim Stockpile two more times. Now, I switch out my Togekiss for Regigigas. Now the fun begins. Driftblim now uses Skill Swap, taking its Slow Start, and giving it the Unburden ability. What that does is when the held item is used up, so basically a berry, the speed on the pokemon holding it doubles. Regigigas will now use Psych Up, taking the Stockpiled defense stats from Driftblim. Driftblim uses Swagger on Regigigas, doubling its attack, but making it confused. Though, now the Lum Berry activates, making him not confused. Now that Regigigas has Unburden, his speed is doubled. So, now you have a Regigigas without Slow Start, double speed, double attack, and 2.5 double defense stats. BEAST! Basically I sweep the team from then on. So, what are the other three pokemon for? Cherrim is a PC favourite, of course, but it uses Helping Hand, to boost the attack power of Regigigas’s move by 50%, making it even more powerful. Also, it can Sunny Day things up, for many Solarbeams in a row and to power up the Infernape. Metagross and Infernape are only their if late game, something wrong happens, I have two really good sweepers to finish things off. Team: Togekiss @ Quick Claw Jolly 252 Spe / 152 HP / 106 Atk Extremespeed Taunt Follow Me Protect Driftblim @ Leftovers Unburden Timid 12 HP / 216 Spe / 80 Def / 200 Sp.Def Hypnosis Stockpile Skill Swap Swagger Regigigas @ Lum Berry Adamant 252 HP / 252 Atk Drain Punch Crush Grip Earthquake Psych Up Cherrim @ Heat Rock Modest 252 HP / 252 Sp.Def / 6 Sp.Atk Helping Hand Sunny Day Solarbeam Protect Metagross @ Choice Band Adamant 112 HP / 252 Atk / 132 Def / 12 Spe Meteor Mash Explosion Thunderpunch Rock Slide Infernape @ Life Orb Naïve 64 Atk / 252 Sp.Atk / 192 Spe Heat Wave Close Combat Nasty Plot Grass Knot Ending Comments: Well, that’s the team. If everything works out, it is so beast. Please R&R fairly, I will take constructive criticism. Too bad I couldn’t make this a real thread though. I know the team is complete, but D_A wouldnt let me make a thread for double battles T_T |
damn. well, i posted where you wanted me too. I had it all ready in Word, it even looks like a really great thread, eh? Too bad i couldnt post...
|

Never the less if you are new you should probably get to know the basics first befor rushing headlong into things http://www.smogon.com/dp/articles/intro_comp_pokemon |

Togekiss doesn't learn Taunt at all (from looking at multiple sites like Smogon, Bulbapedia, etc). Dx |

take an Example of Charizard that can learn Dragon Claw via breeding , as it can actually learn it via TM . |

Any other suggestions!? |
Oh hai. Since NU isn't used very often, I'd like to post this here:
My team is incomplete, and I can't think of anything that could be used for this. So far I have... Sableye as a lead. It's a trick set with iron ball, so that marowak can (hopefully) do some damage. It also know sunny day to speed up my band pluff and get rid of any rain dance leads. Body slam for parahax. Jumpluff is a band sweeper. I know, pretty lol, but it can get the jump on lots of fighting types and water types that seem to be prominent in NU. It also has encore and sleep powder so that it can still support the team. Marowak is all out physical attacking, with HP evs instead of speed evs. Whishcash is a wall of sorts, with tickle and amnesia. It's can lure out any pokemon that use energy ball, which jumpluff can come in on and beat, since they are usually outsped and frail. Spark is there to surprise flying types that expect earthquake or water types that think im gonna ice beam/aqua tail. Also, it keeps the parahax going. Basically, the theme of this is to let marowak and jumpluff sweep by softening up the opponent and slowing them down. For the last two slots im looking for something that can paralyze and take hits, and then another sweeper, maybe with sunny day again. I'm not looking for a rate, just suggestions for the last two. I understand that this team is fairly gimmicky, but I want to have fun with this. |
I need a good Stealth Rock-er to lead my team. I'm thinking either Aerodactyl, Uxie or Swampert, leaning towards Swampert a bit, simply because it can give a bit of variety to my team.
Here are the rest of my team: (I'll just be listing the non-STAB moves. They all have 1 or 2 STAB moves) Scizor - Superpower Lucario - Ice Punch, Extremespeed Wobbuffet - Uh... The usual set Infernape - Grass Knot Porygon-Z - Thunderbolt, Ice Beam, HP Fighting Thanks for any help PS. Try and convince me that xxx is better. Suggesting a whole moveset would be cool =D |
Quote:
Swampert would probably be the best choice since your team doesn't really have any physical durability. |
Quote:
And thanks for the suggestion. |
Since Wobby is in Ubers , its banned in OU , you've better switch him to something else
like what Aura said , Swampert is your Ideal lead , it wont fail you when you set up SR . and Roar is night to PHaze DD Gyara |
Ok, thanks. Swampert with Roar ans SR seems like the go.
Just one more thing. Since I WILL be changing to strictly OU pretty soon, any suggestions to fill up the gap that Wobbuffet made? Edit: Do I need a wall? o.o Also, I know this probably isn't the right place to ask, but are there any trainers in Pt that have a Mudkip/Marshstop/Swampert so that I can get one over GTS? |

Someone can probably trade you one in the Trade Corner :O |
After some careful thought and cosideration and some helpful advice for peers here at PokeCommunity and TeamUber.net here's my new and improved Psychic mono team back for another rate.

A Good Garchomp?
Ok, Recently, On Pokemon Platinum, I Evolved My Gabite.
And I Want Ideas On How To Make Better. http://www.pokemonelite2000.com/sprites/plffa/445.png Lv.48 Lax Expert Belt Moveset: Crunch Brick Break Dragon Claw Fire Blast |
I think you'd be best off breeding for a new Gible, but try for an Adamant one. If you want to make that one better, though, just stick a Yache Berry on it, and give it Earthquake over Crunch.
|
Hmm, How Can I Get Earthquake?
|
Garchomp learns Earthquake via TM only , and it is in Battle Frontier ( needs Battle points but Dunno how much )
|
TM 26 teaches Earthquake.
|
Is There Another Way To Get TM26?
|
Honestly nope , this is the only way =/
