I'm gonna try to throw my hat into the competitive battling arena of GenV...something I haven't done since the early days of R/S. XD
The first team I wanna build is a Sandstorm team. So far, I'm trying to breed a curse Larvitar and I've got a Sand Rush Excadrill and a spikes/stealth rock Ferrothorn planned out on paper. I'm considering options for the other three slots. Would Golurk make a decent spin blocker? Should I throw in a Magnezone for special sweeping? What's another good wall to consider? What's another good supporter to consider? |
okay, so I've decided to use this moveset for exeggutor:
Exeggutor @Lum Berry Ability: Harvest - Giga Drain/Energy Ball/Leaf Storm - Rest - Leech Seed - Sleep Powder I decided to go for the more defensive side after all, however, I still want to include a grass type attack to prevent being taunt bait, and to handle waters such as swampert. not sure which one to use though; giga drain is there for extra recovery, energy ball for a standard power attack with good pp, and leaf storm for huge power. I'm considering choosing leaf storm because as it's a more defensive set then I won't be using it that often anyway, therefore the sp.atk drop won't be too bad. rest is there to recover full hp and the sleep will be cancelled out with lum berry, leech seed for more recovery and sleep powder to make it even easier. however, one thing I must ask. what nature and evs should I use? I was thinking of setting max hp then adding evs into sp.atk and both defenses, although nature I was completely clueless with. |

Between Houndoom, Arcanine and Charizard, which would you choose? I'm considering a sweeper fire Pokemon to play with. Arcanine has a good base stat to start with, but the speed is easily surpassed by Houndoom. Charizard can have a nice moveset and skill (Blaze), but the water, thunder and rock weakness is pretty overwhelming.

And Houndoom does have the good boosting move of the bunch, Nasty Plot. Give him Hidden Power Ground and you are good! But Arcanine is usually the best choice. Flare Blitz, Wild Bolt, Close Combat, Morning sun! |
Ok, so I just got Pokémon Black recently and now that I've completed the main storyline, I'd like to start getting into competitive play. There's obviously a LOT that has been added to the game since Generation IV...is there somewhere I can go to read up on all this stuff so I can figure it all out before I just try to jump in? I'm not new to competitive battling, just to Gen V - but there's so many new possibilities and combinations that I just don't know where to start. Suggestions/advice anyone? Thanks.
(If you feel this isn't really the place to get into a detailed discussion on this, feel free to message me privately or something instead.) |
Well you could start by reading up on things here.
We have two threat lists, both detailing what pokemon are most commonly used in gen V here and here. We also have a resource thread, located here, for anything else you could possibly need. Hope it helps. |
Well last gen I EVd a Celebi and transferred it to Black. Will this set still do good:
Celebi @ Life Orb Trait: Natural Cure EVs: 252 Sp.Atk / 6 Sp.Def / 252 Speed Nature: Timid - Nasty Plot - Grass Knot - Psychic - Earth Power And I'd also like to use Lugia in my Uber team. Will this work Lugia @ Leftovers Trait: Pressure EVs: 252 HP / 66 Defense / 192 Speed Nature: Timid - Roost - Reflect - Ice Beam - Light Screen |
Scizor
I take it there is no one out there who knows any Scizor builds then.
|
Quote:
Scizor @ Choice Band Trait: Technician EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Speed Nature: Adamant - U-Turn - Pursuit - Super Power - Bullet Punch Just a normal CB Set, U-Turn for scouting and putting a check on Reuniclus. Pursuit to trap Choiced Pokemon hitting you for a NVE move or something. Super Power is to hit T-Tar on the switch and hittin Excadrill. Bullet Punch is for revenging and sweeping late game. |
Scizor wants these EVs: 248 HP / 252 Atk / 8 Spe
With 252 Speed, he's too slow already to really be doing much with that investment. This HP spread makes him better at taking dragon attacks that he can safely switch into and hit back with bullet punch (which, as his most enticing move, doesn't require any speed EVs). |
I just leveled my Druddigon to 45. He wants to learn Dragon Tail. His current moveset is:
Flash Cannon Crunch Dragon Claw Revenge Should I teach him Dragon Tail? If so what move should I replace? |

You can either transfer one over with Superpower, or use Brick Break.

I am trying to find out, what to use for flying type.

The Eviolite would work on Scyther, right?
I'm thinking of using it in my 4v4 doubles rain team. While it seems like a strange item for a Scyther, it has base 80 defenses. Combined with the rain taking away its fire weakness, Scyther can help counter the weaknesses of other team members (1/4 Grass resist, Ground immunity) as well be a physical sweeper on the team. Yay/nay? |
Stunfisk
Is there any viable moveset to use with Stunfisk in NU Metagame? If yes, I can't find any but I really like the herp a derp fish :D
