Team Questions
i'm putting together my team of six, but having a tiny bit of trouble deciding on what to go.
how's this for a non-uber team? Metagross Salamance Dragonite Blaziken Tyranitar Snorlax and how's this for a uberteam? MewTwo Rayquaza Kyogre Salamance Blaziken Tyranitar |
First off, post your moveset, your EVs etc. if you don't know what it means, read the Advanced Trainers Guide by frostweaver.
|
This should be in the GB Statagies and Movesets fourm, someone needs to move this.

revision.
ok, try this.
Metagross EVs - Attack/Special Attack ---- Hyper Beam Meteor Mash Psychic Agility Salamance EVs - Attack/Special Attack ---- Dragon Dance Dragon Claw Crunch Double-Edge Dragonite EVs - Special Defense/Attack ---- Dragon Dance Thunderbolt Dragon Claw Hyper Beam |
Take off Hyper Beam, #1 and don't work on Metagross attack, He's Steel Psychic and his attack is not very high. as for Salmence, cmon, you can't leave him with no flying moves, and you should not have a Dragonite and a Salamence, take him out. also, what are the natures and items they are holding?

For metegross, I'd say: Metegross EVs - Attack/HP Nature: Adamant (atk+, sp.a-) Earthquake Shadow Ball HP Fighting Light Screen -- Salemence looks quite good, but try this: Salemence EVs: Attack/Speed OR Attack/Special Attack/Speed Earthquake Brick Break OR Dragon Claw Aerial Ace Dragon Dance -- Well, for Dragonite, I'd suggest an all-out special sweeper :\ . Dragonite EVs: Special Attack/Speed Ice Beam Flamethrower Surf HP Dark ---- Well, that's the best I can do. I don't have much experiance with this, but it seems OK to me :\ . |
revision 2.
ok, let's try this. remember i LOVE dragon pokemon, i just think they are too brutal to not use.
Salamance: EVs in Attack/Speed ---- Earthquake Aerial Ace Dragon Claw Dragon Dance i figure he'd be a physical sweeper, looks good to me. seems pretty solid, don't think i'll need to change much. Metagross: EVs in Special Attack/HP ---- Psychic Meteor Mash Shadow Ball Agility i like this because i can take out a lot of groups, and i have agility for that speed boost to sweep, i think it's great. Snorlax: EVs in HP/Defense ---- Rest Substitute Double-Edge Shadow Ball all around tough tank, looks good on paper to me at least. can't wait to raise it in-game. MewTwo: EVs in Special Attack/Special Defense ---- Psychic Shadow Ball Calm Mind Recover i know people hate the legendaries but i'm sorry, i go with what i think _looks_ cool. i think calm mind is just beyond perfect, it's probably my favorite ability. Blaziken: EVs in Attack/Special Attack/Speed ---- Blaze Kick Sky Uppercut Aerial Ace Swords Dance blaziken is just brutal in the fact that it has a great type combination, i'm not sure how good this one is but it seems sweet. =) Tyranitar: EVs in Attack/Defense ---- Crunch Earthquake Dragon Dance ???? (maybe Outrage?) i NEED a dark type to just destroy psychic types, and tyranitar just looks so menacing i love it. but i can't think of a fourth move, let alone a great moveset, any ideas? |
You might want to fix up Mewtwo. It is ment to be a Special Sweeper, so why shadow ball?
Mewtwo EVs: Special Attack/Speed Psychic Ice Beam Calm Mind Flamethrower/HP Specal/Thunderbolt ---- Blaziken looks good. ---- Dragon Dance is a good move, so I guess you could make good use of it with your moveset: Tyranitar EVs: Attack/Specal Attack OR Attack/Speed Dragon Dance Earthquake Brick Break/Aerial Ace/HP Physical/Rock Slide Crunch OR Rock Slide But if you must have crunch, I guess that works too. |
Salamence- dragon claw is useless here... get rock slide there instead, or fire blast if rock slide isn't available to hit Skarmory (but rock slide is more useful.)
Metagross- sp.atk? That's just pointless... ghost is physical, mind you. Metagross's psychic type is really rather pointless besides neutralizing fighting attack damage, and fighting Weezing (and only Weezing.) Ditching Psychic for earthquake is probably a much better choice. Be sure that your speed is 198 as well if you're using agility. This probably means sacrificing some EVs in other areas, but the sacrifice is well worth the trade. Snorlax- take off substitute for brick break if you want it to be a tank. Also, shift some def into attack. Mewtwo- calm mind sucks without the speed to help it sweep. Change all sp.def to speed, and be sure to get a speed boosting nature. Get calm mind/psychic/2 special attack. Recover if you want Mewtwo to be a special tanker, but if you're doing that, get boltbeam instead of psychic. Blaziken- blaze kick needs to be replaced by overheat... aerial ace is not too good of an attack due to the low power. But your call... earthquake and rock slide works as well. Tyranitar- if you're dragon dancing, you may want to shift def to speed. Remove crunch, and add on 2 physical attacks again. Oh, and Tyranitar isn't too good of an anti-psychic types anyway. Not to mention, there's hardly any psychic types out there but Alakazam and Exeggutor, and Eggy will decimate Tyranitar either way. |
thanks!
alright, well my blaziken now will be:
Overheat Sky Uppercut Swords Dance Rock Slide ---- EVs in Attack/Special Attack/Speed and now my MewTwo is: Psychic Calm Mind Recover Thunderbolt ---- EVs in Special Attack/Speed Tyranitar is now Earthquake Crunch Dragon Dance Brick Break ---- EVs in Attack/Speed and finally Metagross Psychic Meteor Mash Agility Earthquake ---- EVs in Attack/Speed anymore suggestions? |
Blaziken still doesn't need any sp.atk EV, because overheat is a one use only thing until switch anyway. Its base power is high enough as it is.
Tyranitar can just drop crunch all together. It's useless... no one should use crunch but Houndoom >>; Not that crunch is a bad move, but it's just stuck on Pokemon who will suck using it besides Houndoom. Tyranitar's attack is much higher than sp.atk anyway, so stick with attack. Plus you got dragon dance to further strengthen your attack. Use rock slide instead of crunch, for STAB and physical power. |
Physical Mewtwo can work wonders if you play it right, it's slightly unexpected, after all...
[email protected]/Salac/Lum Berry EV: 252 Att, 252 Speed, 6 Sp Def Nature: + Att, - Def Brick Break Shadow Ball Earthquake/Rock Slide/Psychic Ice Beam/Thunderbolt/Calm Mind/Earthquake Brick Break deals with Dark types, Shadow Ball for other Psychics and Ghosts, and then insert your choice of physical or special move - it's not like Mewtwo needs any EV or nature bonus to it's Special Attack, after all. Snorlax: Put some EV in Special Defence rather than Defence, and you may want to slip in some for Attack as well. [email protected] EV: 252 HP, 129 Att, 129 Sp Def Nature: + Att, - Speed Substitute Focus Punch Shadow Ball Rest Salamence: Drop Dragon Claw for Flamethrower, and Earthquake for Brick Break, otherwise fine. Adds a bit of Skarmbliss protection to your team Blaziken - Blaziken's type combination is actually pretty detrimental to itself, adding more weaknesses than strengths. Blazik[email protected] Berry EV: 252 Att, 252 Speed, 6 Sp Def Nature: + Speed, - Sp Att Endure Reversal Shadow Ball/HP Ghost/Rock Slide Overheat Can't remember if Blaziken can learn Shadow Ball, if not use HP Ghost or Rock Slide instead Tyranitar - you can do without Crunch, so leave it. Mixed sweeping with T-tar isn't so great. [email protected]/Salac/Liechi Berry EV: 252 Att, 252 Speed, 6 Sp Def Nature: + Att/Speed, - Sp Att Dragon Dance Earthquake Rock Slide Brick Break/HP Physical Metagross: Really need to redistribute those EVs... [email protected] EV: 129 HP, 129 Def, 252 Att Nature: + Def/Att, - Sp Def HP Steel Earthquake Shadow Ball Agility/Psychic Consider Psychic for anti-Weezing purposes. |
revision 3.
gotcha, alright, let's try this.
Metagross (EVs: 252 Attack/129 HP/129 Defense) Psychic Meteor Mash Earthquake Agility Snorlax (EVs: 252 HP/129 Defense/129 Sp. Defense) Rest Substitute Shadow Ball Double-Edge MewTwo (EVs: 252 Speed/252 Sp. Attack/6 Sp. Defense) Psychic Thunderbolt Recover Calm Mind Blaziken (EVs: 252 Attack/252 Speed/6 Sp. Attack) Overheat Sky Uppercut Swords Dance Rock Slide Salamance (EVs: 252 Attack/252 Speed/6 Defense) Dragon Dance Earthquake Brick Break Aerial Ace Tyranitar (EVs: 252 Speed/252 Attack/6 Defense) Dragon Dance Earthquake Rock Slide Crunch sounds good? i'm sorry i just like dark attack moves and i need to have a difference between salamance and tyranitar, even if it is just two moves. |
