Shuko's first [semi-good] Netbattle Team. "I need help!!!" >_<
This is the team I'm currently using. Unfortunately, I'm not very good with movesets yet, so all of the movesets (And EVs) came from the SPPf moveset guide. :/ Still, I'm trying my best to learn which combinations work, and which ones don't... Does anyone have any constructive suggestions for replacements for any of my moves/pokemon/etc.? If so, please give a short description why, if it's not overtly obvious. I only started competitive battling yesterday, lol. ^^; (The values in the parentheses (after the stats) are EV's. Just so you know. :P
Glalie @ Focus Band Rash -Explosion -Ice Beam -Spikes -Substitute HP: 302 (6) Attack: 196 Defense: 196 Speed: 259 (252) Sp. Attack: 284 (252) Sp. Defense: 176 Altaria @ Leftovers Bold -Flamethrower -Haze -Ice Beam -Rest HP: 340 (196) Attack: 158 Defense: 269 (116) Speed: 196 Sp. Attack: 200 (96) Sp.

1. Why give Blaziken substitute? 2. Why bother with Calm mind on Alakazam, when he'll get taken out by almost anything if you give them half a chance? Is it really worth it? It just seems to me that he's better used to hit hard and hit fast, and most importantly, hit first. Doesn't calm mind just give them a free shot at him? 3. I have the same question about recover. it just seems kind of useless to me on an Alakazam, since he has so little HP, and so little defense. He'll recover a lot less than they'll take away from him. :( That's also why I don't think Leftovers is a good idea on him. 4. I forgot about Aggron's x4 weakness to fighting! x_x Do you have any suggestions for a replacement? It was originally a meganium, but that one fell through. :P Quote:
-Endure = egg move -Reversal = egg move -Rock Slide = egg move -Swords dance = Move tutor. :P |

You don't have too, but like I said Sceptile/Venasaur (you need a nice Grass type, and Swampy.:D

Glalie @ Focus Band
Rash -Explosion -Ice Beam -Spikes -Substitute HP: 302 (6) Attack: 196 Defense: 196 Speed: 259 (252) Sp. Attack: 284 (252) Sp. Defense: 176 That set is okay but you could consider Crunch over Psychic. Put leftovers or Lum over focus band. Altaria @ Leftovers Bold -Flamethrower -Haze -Ice Beam -Rest HP: 340 (196) Attack: 158 Defense: 269 (116) Speed: 196 Sp. Attack: 200 (96) Sp. Defense: 271 (100) Altaria is not going to stop much in the OU metagame, that set looks fine however. You could consider Vaporeon as another solid hazer Ampharos @ Quick Claw Quiet -Fire Punch -Focus Punch -Hidden Power (Grass) -Thunderbolt HP: 355 (136) Attack: 222 (147) Defense: 185 Speed: 146 (70) Sp. Attack: 334 (157) Sp. Defense: 216 Quick Claw is not looked upon happily in Netbattle, and you could put Sub over HP grass, for predicting switches and the like, unless you are deathly afraid of Swampert. Blaziken @ Salac Berry Naive -Endure -Reversal -Rock Slide -Swords Dance HP: 302 (6) Attack: 339 (252) Defense: 176 Speed: 284 (252) Sp. Attack: 256 Sp. Defense: 158 That set is fine, don't listen to Mullet, just watch out for Pokes that can have Status moves...Predict attacks that you're surely will leave you with 1hp. Metagross does this better, but blazieken can do it fine. The best reversaler in OU is Scizor, since it is unnafected by the ever present T-tar Alakazam (Synchronize) @ Salac Berry Timid -Fire Punch -Ice Punch -Psychic -Thunderpunch HP: 252 (4) Attack: 122 Defense: 126 Speed: 372 (252) Sp. Attack: 369 (252) Sp. Defense: 206 Max speed Zam outspeeds alot already, so you can try either Petaya or Lum berry. Leftovers won't do much considering that Zam won't stay out that long to take hits. Calm Mind could work, but I prefer using Trick-zam, when you use trick while you have Choice Band as an item Aggron (Sturdy) @ Leftovers Brave -Fire Blast -Focus Punch -Hidden Power (Rock) -Substitute HP: 344 (252) Attack: 325 (162) Defense: 395 Speed: 121 Sp. Attack: 180 (96) Sp. Defense: 155 Fire Blast can work I guess, and if you don't like the accuracy of Rock Slide HP rock is okay. Skarmory and Forretress are better choices over this, as they have no big Physical weaknesses and can take loads of hits. Not a bad team, but it looks frail. Oh yeah, while in Team Builder you can go to File--->Then Export to team instead of typing all of this. :D |

How rude.

Hey now, I didn't shoot you down, I was posting my suggestions also. Substitute wouldn't work as well because Blaziken get's outspeeded by 50+ other Pokemon with it's base speed of 80. :)

I didn't give Blaziken any EVs for special attack. :P That was just his base stats. :P And I agree that sub is a better choice than endure. I've found that out the hard way. But just the same, I think that, to use it effectively, I'll need to have all the speed I can get. And I don't like the idea of splitting its EV's into more than two main branches. ~_~ Speed and Attack seemed pretty elementary to me... how much do you think I should devote to the defenses? |
Quote:
[email protected] Leech Seed Surf Toxic Ice Beam or [email protected] (with Rain Dish) Rain Dance Substitute Leech Seed Surf or [email protected] Surf Ice Beam Giga Drain/Hp Grass Sub(if you choose Giga Drain)/Thunderpunch(covers the flying weakness)/Fire Punch(covers the bug weakness) Giving Ludicolo physical moves along with Swords Dance won't work because 70 base attack power isn't enough to do a good damage. I suggest to try the annoyer/tank/sp.sweeper Ludicolo instead. The physical sweeper moveset won't work. Quote:

Well, good luck with Netbattling. Hope my suggestions will help you. |
well, i like sub on my heracross and endure on my charizard. sub helps you avoid status and gives you a turn to sword dance up, that's why i like. endure is more for surprise(surviving a hit), and with salac can turn the game around. either works with blaziken, it all depends on what you want. endure is tricky cuz it takes some prediction to avoid status. sub w/o sword dance isn't very good though. i mean sure you can still avoid status, but i like to take the extra turn to sword dance up. i lean towards endure with blaziken because with sub+sword dance that only leaves 2 more slots for attacks which is a waste for his wonderful stats.
ludicolo is a great pokemon. He has good sp.def so he can be a good special tank. with swift swim he can also be used as a special sweepert(even though i rather use him as a tank). the best thing about ludicolo is that he doesn't have any weakness to any special attack. [email protected][calm] -swift swim evs: 252hp, 252sp.def, 6def -leech seed -synthesis -ice beam -thunderbolt/surf <--can't remeber if it had tbolt. tpunch if it doesn't learn it. i like it as a special tank. i don't put ev's in defense cuz his defense is quite pathetic. just avoid physical attacks. i had it on my grass team and it worked well unless it runs into CB sweeperts with hp flying :P also try this kazam: [email protected][timid] -synchronize evs: 252sp.att, 252speed, 6hp -encore -calm mind -tbolt/psychic -icebeam/psychic encore a pokemon who's trying to curse/sword dance up, this forces a switch during which you can calm mind up. lum berry also gives you a turn to calm mind up against pokemon that likes to use status. after calm mind, sweep away. |
Quote:
No, Ludicolo can't learn T-bolt Try this one: [email protected] [Swift Swim] EVs:252 HP, 252 Def (it has more def weaknesses), 6 Sp. def/6 Sp. attack Nature:Bold/Modest Rain Dance Leech Seed Ice Beam/Surf Giga Drain I like this set, if it looses to much HP just Drain it, and for other Grass types you can't Seed, and Giga Drain doesn't damage much, you can just Ice Beam them.:D |
Blaziken says high to the ever OU Salamence with HP fly and Aerodactyl.

What about a twisted spoon for Alakazam?

Sorry to say this but 10% boosters=you phail.:\

Giga: Yes.
A Spinner is something that uses Rapid Spin to get rid of Spikes. Once they are out of the way, and you have Spikes down, there's no need for Glalie. Choice Band doesn't make you use the first move in your set, it means after you use one move, you have to continue using that same move until you switch out. Rain Dance increases Ludicolo's speed, in this case so it can outspeed the base 130's (Jolteon, Aero, Crobat, Mewtwo etc) and boosts Hydro Pumps power to 240 base (Ludicolo's water type as well), but it doesn't make it's accuracy 100%. |
