2- Umbreon in OU seems kinda gimmick as SDLuke destroys it, and baton pass serves no purpose in this set. someone else could help you on this ... 3- Zapdos is fine. good Scizor check 4- Seriously this Scarf Relicanth only outspeeds neutral base 100 speed pokemon which is fail, if you really want to use it then Rock Polish on the last slot and change the held item to Leftovers or Life Orb ( depends on your need of more power or more bulk ) |
Quote:
Also, ditch the Scarf on Relicanth, and give it a Life Orb. Make the last spot Rock Polish. Also also, Skarmory dies to taunt leads. Replace Stealth Rock with Brave Bird. |
Quote:
|
Skarmory NEEDS an attack move or its utter Taunt bait. Put Brave Bird >> Stealth Rock and add put SR on something else. If you did this i suggest you add a Rapid Spin Blocker too or your spikes stacking will be futile.
Umbreon is dead weight in OU, there are better walls and tanks. There are also better Scarfers than Relicanth in OU. |
Just a quick question. If I bred a Pokemon for the right nature would it be unethical to hack it only to get it perfect IVs? I mean I'm not gonna give it any illegal moves or tweak with its stats or ability.

Hey! I was just thinking of putting a Cresselia in my Sunny Day team as a supporter because she can take alot of hits really well. No joke. This is my team so far.
Crobat Typhlosion Tangrowth "Cresselia" And this would be the moveset I give to my Cresselia. Nature: Calm EV's: 252 HP/196 Def/62 Sp.Def Held Item: Leftovers Psychic Icy Wind Sunny Day Moonlight Meet, the moon. Crescent moon actually. I need her because I need the night to be beautiful. Anyway, this is my second Sunny Day supporter for my team. This Pokemon plays the long game in battles. Psychic. It's a STAB attack that can put Poison types out of existence. I would go for Charge Beam but it won't help me much. I love in Pokemon Stadium 2 the announcer says "A gust of Icy Wind!". However, Icy Wind comes in handy in Double Battles. It hits both Pokemon, lowering their Speed to let my Pokemon outrun them. Sunny Day, as usual. Summons the sun to boost up Fire type attacks and activate Tangrowth's Chlorophyll ability. Now, you can't play the long game without the Moonlight shining on you. It restores HP depending on the weather. When the sun is out, Moonlight I think restores health by 75%. Quite a biggy, ain't it. So, what do you think. Do you think this Cresselia can come in handy? I hope so because I do need a supporter to play the long game for my future Sunny Day team. Please tell me if you think the moveset's perfect or need improvements. Thank you. I don't like being a lone wolver by the way. |

http://www.smogon.com/download/sprites/dp/379.png @ Heat Rock/Leftovers Careful Nature (+SpD, -SpA) 252 HP, 60 Def, 196 SpD - Stealth Rock - Thunder Wave - Sunny Day - Iron Head Assumiung your Crobat has U-Turn, this is the pokemon you'd switch to. Provides status to slow down your enemy, sun support, rock support, and an attack, so you can't get taunted. With Registeel's natural bulk and useful typing, it will last longer than Cresselia. |
Or you can use Uxie, since it and Cresselia is really similar so it shouldn't break the synergy too bad.

I'm talking about Double Battles by the way. |
Ok I think This is the right thread to ask this:
I am making a UU team so far and need help with 2 pokemon 1st My Lead I am currently trying Bellosom Calm Leftovers 252 HP/252 Sp.Def/6 Def Energy Ball/Leech seed/Sleep Powder/Sub But its not really working and ideas on a better lead? Also I need help on somthing Bulky to take Ice And Water hits and as a backup for fire hits Now im running Blastoise Calm Leftovers 208 HP/188 Def/ 114 Sp.Def Counter/Mirror Coat/Toxic/Protect it works pretty well in KO ing A Ludicolo from full health with Mirror coat and can take hits pretty well but Kinda dosent fill a slot and completley loses to miltank Im thinking Surf >> Toxic but still not sure Any Help On either? Also Dose Skill Swap effect Shedinja And Spiritomb? Need this for an awsome double team strategy |
UU lead? Ambipom is the best imo.
Use this set: Ambipom @ Silk Scarf/Life Orb Ability: Techinician Nature: Jolly EV's: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spe Moveset: ~ Fake Out ~ Return ~ U-Turn ~ Taunt / Payback Yes, Skill Swap does affect Shedinja and Spiritomb. |
Quote:
That Blastoise set is awful, no really it is lol. Counter + Mirror Coat are really gimmicky tbh. Blastoise's best Role is a Rapid Spinner and its a darn good one so id utalize that. Blastoise (M) @ Leftovers Ability: Torrent EVs: 252 HP/176 Def/20 Spd/62 SDef Bold nature (+Def, -Atk) - Surf - Rapid Spin - Toxic / Yawn - Roar / Ice Beam / Hidden Power Grass Is its best set in uu. It needs Surf for STAB, Rapid Spin removes entry hazards. 3 and 4th slots are up to you. Toxic or Yawn to cripple things or make them switch or fall to sleep. Last slot Roar forces switches and is cool with entry hazards to abuse. Ice Beam hits grass types and Hidden power Grass hits other water types such as Azumarril etc. The evs ensure you outspeed all Rhyperior who Blastoise is an amazing counter to, whilst tanking hits on both sides well. As for your skill swap question, no that does not work. |
thankx both of you Ill test them :)
Also my skill swap ideas are totally confused now lol |
........................Help please?
....................................................Too bad I'm not quite good enough to help others with their teams...... I'm just starting in competitive battles... |

What's a Pokemon that learns Magic Coat and outspeeds Darkrai?
Preferably non-Ubers but that's not a requirement. I'm building a double battle team for PBR Wi-Fi and Shodddy 2 and need a Darkrai counter and my strategy is Magic Coat. |

I am currenly trying to make a team that has a substitute lead (the first Pokemon uses sub then U-turn's or Returns). I'm having a little trouble trying to pick a Pokemon that would work. I need one that has a good Special Defense too. So are there any suggestions on a Pokemon that would work for a Substitute Lead and that has a good Special Defense?
It would be most appreciated if the suggestion was not part water or flying type due to the weakness to electric types in my team. I already have a part water and a part flying type so I don't need another making half my team weak to electric. So please help me. |
Quote:
You can always try Swampert though \o/ |
Quote:

You're thinking of Baton Pass. U-Turn does NOT keep stat boosts, subs, ect.
|
Quote:
|
Return is an attack. ;o; It's base power depends on how much a pokemon likes you.

Quote:
|
ninjask!
you can use sub/protect on the 1st turn to get a speed boost then you can pass it or use sub/protect (whichever u didnt use first) again to get another boost |

exactly what are you trying to accomplish with this?
with that the only thing that comes to my mind is togekiss |

Would it be okay to post an RMT for a doubles team?

Hi! i have this moveset on my lead azelf... max speed and max sp attack
Item: Focus sash u-turn Flamethrower explosion stealth rock what do you think? |

@Freaky: Stuff like that may be better suited for PM, but I think it would be fine, but don't expect too many rates as no one plays Doubles and I don't think there's even an established metagame for it. |

Would an impish natured snorlax with thick fat work? If so can anyone suggest evs and movesets? thanks

Quote:

Looking for the most viable set for Snorlax. Any ideas?
|
Quote:
|
Depends on what you are looking for in a snorlax.
As was mentioned, curselax is probably a safe bet, though rest talk is viable too. Are you planning on using him as a wall or support, or are you trying to do something sneaky? |
Question was answered on the server, sorry guys.

Hey everyone. I was thinking on a moveset for a Medicham in Double Battles. Which is in my Trick Room team and a Ludicolo which plays the long game.
Medicham Nature: Brave EV's: 252 HP/252 Atk Held Item: Life Orb Psycho Cut/Fake Out Drain Punch Ice Punch Detect/Protect The Drain Punch is for restoring HP by the way. Ludicolo Nature: Calm Ability: Rain Dish Held Item: Leftovers Surf Grass Knot Leech Seed Subsitute What do you think of these movesets? Any good or not? |

Okay, thank you for the tip.

What's a good Magic Coat Giratina lead set? I'm going to use it to deflect Darkrai's Dark Void along with a lead Kyogre for my Double Battle Uber Rain Dance Team I'm working on.

Which pokémon gives best EVs and most EXPs?
Which pokémon is best at EV training for you?
Which pokémon you recommend to battle for lots EXPs? |
EV's
Hey guys, after a shameful battle last night against one of our friends here in the forum,which i lost by getting raped by Ice Beams and i realized that my SP.DEF and DEF were way too low to make me a decent Wifi Battler, our pal adviced me to try EV Training, so i'd like to know how do i make my lvl100's lose their current EV's for me to give then some vitamins to level their stats up, are berries the only way?
|
Use the correct thread in future guys.

You NEED to rebreed and do everything from scratch. and by the sound of it, you need a special wall to take those ice beam hits and not be weak to ice type attacks. Quote:

Hello. I have thought of an interesting moveset for an Arcanine.
Nature:: Impish EV's: 252 HP/252 Atk Nature: Intimidate Held Item: Life Orb/Leftovers Flare Blitz ExtremeSpeed Morning Sun Protect/Toxic First, the EV's. 252 HP makes it survive most attacks with the assist of Intimidate for physical sweepers. Second, the last slot. Protect is used for Double Battles and some support by it's partner. Meganium I believe is th best partner to boost up Sunny Day and let Arcanine do the damage. Toxic is for Single Battles to wear down stallers that don't have Rest. So, what do you think? Any good in some circumstances? |

Quote:
I don't know if this could work in doubles, because I would try making use of something like Heat Wave. |
What would a Wish Jynx moveset look like?
|
Quote:
Dont use Jynx for Wish. SR, Pursuit, being inferior to Hypno/Lickilicky/Chansey/even Gardevoir at wishing are all factors for it. That is just in UU, dont even think about using it in OU because everything beats it, if you want me to elaborate i will lol |
I suppose this would be okay to ask here. I heard once that the teir of the team was the majority of each tiered Pokemon I had on there. So If I had 3 UUs, 2 OUs, and 1 NU would that team be considered UU because there are 3 of them?
|
No, it'd be considered OU since you have 2 OU's. Even if you have 1 OU, it'd be considered OU.

Does Impish Lapras have any potential? Or should I breed for another nature? :(
|
A strategy question.
Out of a Choice Specs Shaymin and a Physical Batton Celebi. I'm leaning to them both, but I'm not sure that both in the same team would work, as Heatran, T-tar and other common sweepers would completly do them over. Any suggestions.
|
Quote:
Nice to see you in S&M gurl ;D Quote:
|
Ok, that's brilliant, I might do the Physical Celebi, and thanks for that. :D
|
Quote:
How about Careful Bronzor? >_< /works on Lapras then |
Quote:
And Careful can work on Bronzor/Zong, but Sassy is usually better since the speed lowering nature boosts the power of Gyro Ball, which it one of its best attacks :D |
I catch a zapdos with really good IV's and have a relaxed nature. I was thinking to make him a special defence wall, but i would like him to have roar. Can you help me with this moveset?
~Thunderbolt ~Roost ~Light Screen ~Heat Wave What move should i take off to put roar? |
Quote:
Also Discharge > T-Bolt imo, the paralysis is too good to pass up. |
Yea, if you are doing special wall go discharge, because you dont need something as powerful as TB in that position.

I wanna make a primary offensive "Grass Themed" team. Gimme suggestions.
I won't give any of my own, cause I'm awesome. I r not a noob, so therefore, it's OK if I don't give any suggestions, completley ignoring the rules that our mods so "thoughtfully" made. OK, Vileplume will be in it. He'll be a supporter. And it's not an entirely grass team, as I'd like to try out Swampert. I also wouldn't mind Sunny Day, and Leafeon, but I dunno. Help from "experts". Heh. |
Quote:
|
SD Venusaur and Roserade are good options. You'll need something to clear out Steel and Flying-types as well.
|
Quote:
How does SD Vena works? I've been out of the loop for too long, I'm old & rusty & hansome & intelligent & have a sparkling personallity |
Quote:
heatran/houndoom could be used on the team thanks to flash fire taking the fire attacks aimed at you and powering them up at the same time, they also help clear the steels oku mentioned and can help with fliers |
Quote:
Adamant / Jolly 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Speed Power Whip Earthquake Sleep Powder Swords Dance amazing, flawless, etc. |

I was also thinking, how would a physical or even mixed Sceptile work with Low Kick? In OU, I mean. |
Hi! i need a last poke to my team. Any quick sugestions?

THIS IS GOING TO BE A LONG POST!!! (and no, these are not all of the pokemon I have-- this is a bit over 1/3 of them. I only posted the ones that really needed help. I hardly ever use them because they haven't worked well for me. I am also in need of suggestions for my pokes' movesets, all of them are at lv. 50; the first few are in desperate need of new movesets, but I'm not sure what to teach them: Magnezone @ shuca berry Modest/Mischievous Moves: -Magnet Rise -Mirror Shot -Discharge -Magnet Bomb **this one needs an entire new moveset, but I'd like to keep discharge.

question bout trick
can you trick a steel type a toxic orb and have it poison itself? just a thought

Quote:
check out smogon.com for all the pokes your interested with, its not original no, but they have movesets and all the information you need to change it up. they are probably the most useful for the pokemon in question. By all means, use the ones you want with whatever moveset you come up with, but if your going to battle other people on the wifi, i strongly recommend rebreeding. Magnezone @ leftovers Modest/Mischievous Moves: -substitute -flash cannon/magnet rise -Discharge -HP (hidden power) ground Slaking @ choice band Adamant/Strongly defiant Moves: -Return -Fire Punch -Focus Punch/EQ -Counter Scizor @ Choice band/Life orb Adamant/Proud of its power Moves: -Bullet Punch -U-turn -Superpower/brick break -Pursuit Many sets for scizor, i just chose the choice band set for now, its the most popular one. Porygon-Z @ choice specs/scarf Modest/Thoroughly cunning Moves: -Dark Pulse -Tri attack/hyper beam -Psychic -Ice Beam Togekiss @ Lum berry/leftovers Rash/Capable of taking hits (needs to be calm/modest/timid) Moves: -Wish *you should REALLY keep that move* -baton pass/encore -Aura Sphere -Air Slash Wish is actually a really good move on togekiss, it provides healing support if your other pokemon are low on health. those are the ones that i know, because i've used sets like that before and i memorized it, i can't tell you the EV sets because they're all on smogon and im too lazy to go check it D: |
Quote:
Scrap the ones with no sets firstly, bad natures. We need evs too. http://www.smogon.com/dp/pokemon/ Go here, click the pokes and fix your sets accordingly. There is just way too many bad sets here and moves that dont even make sense on the pokes they are on. Also 99% of berrys are pure trash, use Leftovers. Quote:
|
Thanks for the site and I apologize again for the long post.
DISREGARD!!!! IGNORE THE LONG POST!!!! Yeah, originally it was for only in-game, but I plan to expand my horizons and try them out on Wi-Fi. But as I have learned, I still have MUCH to learn. *Sotto has been demoted to "inadequate." DX * |
question bout trick
Heh, thanks. I most certainly willOnce Im done with all of this probably.I just really want to get all 493 by legit means, and by recieving only legit pokemon.And since I dont have means of getting some pokemon, legenderies pretty much, might as well get them through someone who can remake the event for me.As legit as I can get them I guess, so why not? o:
|
Thought up this set when i was bored. I think it has a lot of potential. Any constructive criticism would be great! :) Oberon (Dragonite) @ Leftovers 252 Hp, 200 Sp. Def, 56 Def Impish Nature (+Def, -Sp.A) ~Dragon Dance ~Roost ~Dragon Claw ~[b]Stone Edge?/b] I really think this set will go somewhere. Dragon Dance is for obvious reasons and Roost is to heal off the damage i take. The reason i have more Sp. Def evs than Def evs is because the main move Nite has to worry about is Ice Beam. Dragon Claw for STAB. I'm not sure about the last move, i want something that gives good type coverage. Rate And Comment! :) |
Quote:
Why Stone Edge? EQ gives you much better coverage. It lets you hit steel type pokemon that can come in on your dragon claws. But basically your set it bulky DDNite. Which would be this Dragonite @ Leftovers 224hp/84att/200spe Adamant nature - Roost - Dragon Dance - EQ - Dragon Claw so yeah....(You are better off with Salamence anyways) |

[email protected] Sassy 252 HP / 200 Atk / 56 SpD Toxic Payback Wish Taunt My team no longer needs Wish support so I've removed Baton Pass and replaced it with Taunt. I'm thinking I can Toxic on the switch and then Taunt them and recover any damage with Wish. I'll have Stealth Rock and possibly Spikes support by the time I use it. Comments? |
Quote:
|
Then I'd have no one with Taunt. How about I use Moon Light instead of Wish so I don't need Protect for that?
