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

I understood a lot of the changes you made, but I have some questions:

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

Some of them are egg moves, lol. There may be a Move tutor move in there too... *goes to check*
-Endure = egg move
-Reversal = egg move
-Rock Slide = egg move
-Swords dance = Move tutor. :P

On a Subrevver blaziken it will get his HP down much faster and protect him for status effects, believe me sub works, one or close to one HP gotten easily with the protection sub gives you will help when you use Reversal.
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?
People will not send out a Fighting type against Zam, that's for sure, he wil kill them, like on a first turn, they send out a Fighting type they will switch, giving you time for a CM, they will try to send in other Physical sweepers to try to kill him, in that case don't CM, just kill it, but when you get the chance CM, belive, me even only one CM for Zam, added to his already beastly Sp. attack will kill.
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.
Recover heals one half his HP, it can work, that why I gave it as another option, like insted of, Lefties can wok too, or Petaya Berry as I posted, can also be used when low on HP, when you get a chance, like predicting when they will switch, Zam using CM, and Recover require prediction.
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
I like Secptile, or Swampert, you need a nice Water type, because I really don't like Glaile, but it's up to you.

Hope this helps you better understand my suggestions!

Yes, much better! Thank you so much! XD I dunno about taking the Glalie out, though. :P I've been able to kill a lot of guys with him. That explosion is a great move, and with his speed there are actually a good range of pogeys I can use it on. But he really isn't overall very competitive. Maybe I should find a replacement for him. :(

Mullet June 22nd, 2005 8:15 PM

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

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.

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

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

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

Zam can acually use Lefties, but like I said you can use Petaya Berry. Trick Zam is evil.

By the way just so you know, it's called Export to Text (uber nitpicky today).

Your not the only one who knows what thier doing, my sets can work, I was just giving him more options. You don't just shoot someone down, look at the big picture, my sets can work.
:D

Giga June 22nd, 2005 8:43 PM

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. :)

Replace either HP grass or Fire Punch with Sub and give it Lefties/Petaya instead of Quick Claw.

Seems standard, though you should replace Endure with Sub, cause Salac activates at 25% and you'll get there with 3 subs eventually. Substitute also has an advantage, that your pokemon won't have any status changes while Sub is in effect. Blaziken has enough speed already, so you should have put more EVs into def and sp.def. Giving it a high sp.attack wasn't needed cause it doesn't have any special attack.

It might work, but remember that Aggron is 4x weak not only to fighting type attacks, but to ground types, too.

Your team is ok, but as it was said before, you'll need a water-type pokemon, too to cover some weaknesses. Zam, Blaziken, Ampharos and Aggron can be taken out by a strong EQ so watch out. Well, good luck.

~_~ Hrm... I'm thinking of replacing Aggron with Ludiculo... Any thoughts on that?

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?

Well, Ludicolo only has 3 physical weakness and it's a much better choice than Aggron. I can't help you with stats... maybe try to give it a high defense stat to lower those weaknesses. Maybe use one of these for a moveset:
[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.

I don't know, but a quick Swellow or other fast OUs might OHKO it with a high physical damage making attack. If they send out Water types you should switch out. Ground types can cause a lot of pain for your team as I said before. What you must be beware mainly is Ground and Flying types so maybe give it a higher defense than sp.def, though if Salac activates, it'll sweep.
Well, good luck with Netbattling. Hope my suggestions will help you.

c_dog June 23rd, 2005 7:39 AM

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.

That's why you can make it faster, Jolly Nature, with no Sp. attacks, and 252 Speed EVs. Yes you did shoot me down. Sub does work at getting his HP down faster, so you can Reversal, hence the name Subrevver, which seems to be the prefered Blaziken.

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

Trick Blissey or something and Calm Mind up.

You do realize that the choice band forces you to use the first move in your set, right? I couldn't trick if I have Calm Mind first. :P But I get what you're trying to say.

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%.
