Rate My Team?
Hiya, new member. Only bought B/W 2 last week, but I've already beat the game. Still feeling rusty - I missed on B/W 1, and A LOT has changed. :/
Now, I'm looking for competitive play with you, cool people. Sorry if this not the proper forum to post this topic. Please, move if so, dear mods. This is how my current team looks like: Arcanine: Extreme Speed: Good physical power and accuracy. Why not? Flare Blitz: STAB. << Just learnt this term recently. lol Sunny Day: Double fire power and set up for v Solarbeam: To deal with all weaknesses. Golduck: Surf: STAB. Ice Beam: To deal with Grass weakness. Psychic: Type coverage. Dig: To deal with Electric weakness. Though, I'm feeling it's unneeded since Surf would prolly do more damage in most cases. :/ (Mystic Water) Ampharos: Thunder: Currently testing it in place of Thunderbolt since I got the latter TM. My statistics sheet shows that it hits 89% of the time. What do you think? Signal Beam: For Grass. Power Gem: Type coverage. Light Screen: I dare you to touch me! Tyranitar: Stone Edge: STAB. Earthquake: Doh. Crunch: STAB. Thunderbolt/Fire Punch: Still debating. Prolly gon settle with the latter due to base stats. Zoroark: Foul Play: STAB. I should prolly go Special, but this move won me over vs the E4. Extrasensory: Deals with Fighting weakness. Maybe swap for Hidden Power? Flamethrower: For Steel and bug types. Nasty Plot: Can't think of a better option for this slot. Metagross: Meteor Mash: STAB. Earthquake: For Fire weakness. Psychic: STAB. Ice Punch: For Ground weakness. Whatcha think? :) |

what are the EV on ur Pokemon
|
This is an in-game team, yes? If you're going competitive, this looks like an OU team to me, given the presence of Starmie and Tyrantiar. Also, please provide EVs.
SolarBeam works off of Arcanine's lower Special Attack stat in comparison to its physical Attack. That being said, Arcanine should only use Special moves in a Sunny Day set, which isn't really needed for this team: -Flare Blitz -ExtremeSpeed -Wild Charge/Crunch -Close Combat/Morning Sun Nature: Adamant EVs: 72 HP/252 Atk/8 SDef/176 Spe Item: Life Orb Ability: Intimidate/Flash Fire Golduck isn't good in general because of its average stats. Starmie, Azumarill or Kingdra are better options over it: Starmie: -Surf/Hydro Pump -Psyshock/Thunderbolt -Ice Beam -Rapid Spin (clears away opposing hazards) Nature: Timid EVs: 252 SAtk/4 SDef/252 Spe Item: Life Orb/Leftovers Ability: Natural Cure Azumarill: -Waterfall -Aqua Jet -Return/Double-Edge -Superpower/Ice Punch Nature: Adamant EVs: 252 HP/252 Atk/4 Spe Item: Choice Band Ability: Huge Power Kingdra: -Dragon Dance -Waterfall -Outrage -Substitute/Draco Meteor Nature: Adamant/Lonely EVs: 252 Atk/4 SDef/252 Spe Item: Leftovers/Lum Berry/Life Orb Ability: Swift Swim/Sniper Or -Hydro Pump/Surf -Draco Meteor -Dragon Pulse -Hidden Power (Electric)/Surf Nature: Modest/Timid EVs: 252 SAtk/4 SDef/252 Spe Item: Choice Specs Ability: Swift Swim/Sniper Ampharos isn't good in the UU environment either because it's slow in comparison to other Electrics. While I'd suggest Heat Rotom, it shares weaknesses with Arcanine, so I'll suggest Electivire or Jolteon, who are faster than it: Electivire: -Wild Charge -Flamethrower -Earthquake -Ice Punch Nature: Hasty/Naive EVs: 248 Atk/36 SAtk/224 Spe Item: Life Orb/Expert Belt Ability: Motor Drive Jolteon: -Thunderbolt -Volt Switch -Hidden Power (Ice/Grass) -Signal Beam/Shadow Ball Nature: Timid EVs: 252 SAtk/4 SDef/252 Spe Item: Life Orb/Choice Specs Ability: Volt Absorb Tyranitar's Sand Stream hinders the rest of the team, and none of your Pokemon are immune to the effects of Sandstorm. Terrakion provides a strong offensive presence while not hindering the rest of the team with Sandstorm: -Stone Edge -Close Combat -X-Scissor -Sacred Sword/Rock Slide/Quick Attack Nature: Jolly EVs: 4 HP/252 Atk/252 Spe Item: Choice Band/Choice Scarf Or -Swords Dance -Rock Polish -Stone Edge -Close Combat Nature: Jolly/Adamant EVs: 4 HP/252 Atk/252 Spe Item: Life Orb/Air Balloon Or -Stealth Rock -Swords Dance/Taunt -Stone Edge -Close Combat Nature: Jolly EVs: 4 HP/252 Atk/252 Spe Item: Focus Sash Or -Substitute -Swords Dance -Stone Edge -Close Combat Nature: Jolly EVs: 4 HP/252 Atk/252 Spe Item: Leftovers/Life Orb/Rock Gem/Salac Berry Zoroark has absolutely no use for Foul Play. That move only sees use on Pokemon with weak offensive stats, like Sableye or Umbreon. It's better off specially based (or mixed to catch opponents off guard): -Nasty Plot -Dark Pulse (note that you can go to the Lentimas move tutor and teach Zoroark that move)/Night Daze -Substitute/Flamethrower -Focus Blast Nature: Timid EVs: 4 HP/252 SAtk/252 Spe Item: Life Orb/Focus Sash Or -Dark Pulse -Flamethrower -Focus Blast -Hidden Power (Ice)/Trick/U-turn Nature: Timid EVs: 4 HP/252 SAtk/252 Spe Item: Choice Specs/Choice Scarf Or -Sucker Punch -Low Kick (from Driftveil move tutor) -Flamethrower -Dark Pulse/Hidden Power (Ice) Nature: Naughty EVs: 200 Atk/96 SAtk/216 Spe Item: Life Orb Or -Swords Dance -Sucker Punch -Low Kick -Flamethrower/Night Slash Nature: Naughty EVs: 252 Atk/40 SAtk/216 Spe Item: Life Orb Just saying, this team is weak to Technician Breloom, so I'd suggest finding something else that can deal with it besides Arcanine. |
It would be quite helpful if you provided EVs, natures, items, and abilities.
