Two more pokemon? I can't help you in this, cause you know better, what pokemons you like. Maybe post two pokemon and we can try to give them a moveset.

Your team is not bad, though you shouldn't give your pokemon attacks of the same type, cause they could have a much better move, for example a cover move, to eliminate that pokemon's weaknesses. Another thing is to not give your party's pokemon HM moves, instead give HMs to pokemons deposited in the PC. Your team needs improvements, but it can be helped easily. Just keep in mind some suggestions and you'll have a good team. Well, good luck.

Bashaamo June 23rd, 2005 6:09 AM

I don't know about Lanturn, but Xatu I can help you with.

That is for a spec sweeper. Steel Wing helps counter ice/rock.
Wish is a recovery move and they help immensly(See e4's rules on movesets)

Bashaamo June 23rd, 2005 7:28 AM

I can't teach my Blaziken Blaze kick;I know it's good, but somehow it didn't even ask me if I want my Blaziken to learn it and now he's level 100.

Squarewalker June 23rd, 2005 7:35 AM

Well, it should have learned it on lv.36 (maybe you haven't evolved him on lv.36 yet) but Flamethrower's much better. Though if you want to teach him Blaze Kick, then go to the Move Tutor near Fallarbor Town and if you give a Heart Scale to that man, I'm sure he'll teach your Blaziken Blaze Kick.

Mullet June 23rd, 2005 8:25 AM

Try these:

[email protected]
T-bolt
Ice Beam
Dragon Claw
Flamethrower/Extreame Speed (for fun)

[email protected] Berry/Lefties
Substitute
Reversal
Earthquake
Qverheat

[email protected]
Ice Beam
T-bolt
Surf
Rest/Confuse Ray

Hope this helps!
:D

Bashaamo June 23rd, 2005 8:46 AM

Ok. I'll try it soon............

Mystic June 23rd, 2005 2:42 PM

Here's an idea. It would take some time because he evolves at Lv. 45

Aggron
Hyper Beam
Surf
Iron Tail
Shock Wave

Thats what I had on my old Ruby game. It worked pretty good for me. I like to think that Aggron is like the Nindo's, Aggron's flexible with moves like the Nindo's. Here's another idea.

Manelectric (sp?) w/ Quick Claw
Shock Wave
Spark
Strength
Quick Attack

This is what I'm using on Emerald right now. Its pretty fast. But then again, Aggron and Manelectric are just ideas I'm just pitching.

Bashaamo June 23rd, 2005 3:26 PM

Thanks for the suggestions. I already have an Aggron, so I don't need to evolve it...

Well, someone's already covered the problem with HMs. (The only really useful one in battling is Surf... or Whirlpool in GSC if you're going for an annoyer.) Get an HM slave and free up your other slots.

Other than that, don't ever put more than one offensive move of the same type (especially several that do basically the same thing) on a Pokemon. You're limiting your Pokemon by doing that.

Try Torkoal_7's moveset. It's pretty much standard.

Rayquaza
Fly
Rest
Surf(I want to change it but to what?!)
Extremespeed
Get rid of Fly. It's overly predictable, so someone can switch in for something that can lay the smackdown on Ray (possibly by taking advantage of that fairly obvious 4x weakness to Ice). The Boltbeam Dragonite, for example.

Quote:

Bellossom
Solarbeam
Sleep Powder
Poisonpowder
Cut
If you're going to give a Grass-type Solarbeam, you might as well give it Sunny Day and pray that your opponent's not going to try barbecuing your Pokemon. (That would be why I don't really recommend Sunnybeamers unless the user in question isn't actually a Grass-type... such as Houndoom.)

Quote:

Wailord(Yes I know, you might think my Wailord is pathetic because it has all water type attacks, *sigh*)
Whirlpool
Hydro Pump
Water Pulse
Surf
Surf > Water Pulse > Hydro Pump > Whirlpool. 'Nuff said.

Really, though, try assigning each Pokemon you put on your team a certain task. As my favorite examples, Skarmory is a Spiker/pHazer/Toxishuffler (meaning, it uses Roar, Spikes, and Toxic to wreak havoc on a team), and Ninjask is a Baton Passer (a Pokemon that uses Baton Pass to fork over stat boosts to another Pokemon). Strategy, my dear.



And as a side note, I'd like to comment on some of the advice already given.

Dude, Blaziken's not even a Flying-type. (It's a Fire/Fighting. Yep. Despite being chickens, not a single member of the Torchic line is actually a Flyer.) I really don't get why you're trying to give it Sharp Beak (which doesn't benefit anything on the moveset anyways, given Blaziken's Attack) and HP Electric.

Edit: I say HP Electric because after a beneficial nature (towards Attack, mind you, not S Attack) and proper EV training, you're already looking at a 60+ point difference in stats between the two offensive categories. Sure, it'd hurt, but without STAB and the right combination of stats and EPs, you'll be lucky to KO the more popular Water-types (or Water move supporters) in one hit.

Bellossom
Solarbeam

*snicker* You're confusing Bellossom with Breloom.

Oh, and Brick Break > Sky Uppercut.

Dan Dan June 24th, 2005 4:20 AM

Oh dear...lots of changes.

Use Water Spout/Rest to keep wailords HP up and Curse when you have the chance to boost Earthquake and his Defence.

Bashaamo June 24th, 2005 3:20 PM

I am not teaching my Rayquaza Dragon Dance, because it just raises its attack, which doesn't hurt the foe and I don't like those kind of attacks. And, uhh.... what's HP Ice and HP fire? I don't think I'm going to teach any of my pokemon curse...

Um, well, if you raise Attack (and Speed, for that matter), then you've got a better chance of beating the living daylights out of your opponent (as pretty much every move relying on Attack after that will be boosted, and your Ray will be able to move first). Sometimes, those kinds of moves are a good thing to have around (as a human opponent who knows what they're doing is likely to pull something out that Ray can't cream in one hit for one reason or another). They're not bad attacks, really, and a Pokemon like Ray should be able to afford it (given that the opponent doesn't try to take advantage of its nasty 4x weakness to Ice).

Quote:

Hidden Power Ice/Fire. Hidden Power changes types, depending on what IVs it has.

Quote:

Why not? Really, sometimes, stat boosters are necessary to make a strategy work, even Curse.

Mullet June 24th, 2005 6:27 PM

Only problem is like eveyone knows it's has a 4x weakness to Ice, but no smart person will put it against an Ice Beam user, it happens, and Ice Beam is a really overused more, because it's awesome, and part of the almost every type killing Boltbeam combo.

Bashaamo June 24th, 2005 6:53 PM

Okay... this is making me kind of confused... They say that HP is hidden power. How does Blaziken have Hidden power ice? You know, you might think I'm a little stupid...

Mullet June 24th, 2005 10:03 PM

It depends on their IVs (Individiual Values), on Netbattle you can control what HP type you have, that is why people suggest it. For you you can battle a Kecleon, and see what type it changes to when you use HP on it. Hope I helped!:)

Bashaamo June 26th, 2005 7:00 PM

Yes, you did. Thanks, Mullet!

I can't really help you with wailord because I have never used one. For the other 2 poke'mon, I suggest ludicolo with rain dance, counter, leech seed, and giga drain. And a ninjask with swords dance, baton pass, substitute, and silver wind. There

Bashaamo August 6th, 2005 7:30 PM

I got Lanturn and Xatu. And people please don't tell me to teach Blaziken overheat because a TON of people already told me that, but I lost the TM. Blaze Kick is also too late.
Lanturn
Supersonic
Confuse Ray
Water Gun
Spark

Xatu
Teleport
Peck
Wish
Future Sight

Any suggestions? I have a feeling their movesets are bad... :disappoin V_V

Alter Ego August 7th, 2005 1:39 AM

Loose Supersonic from Lanturn, there's no point in having two confusing moves and supersonic's accuracy bites. Put in Ice Beam instead, and replace Spark with Thunderbolt and Water Gun with Surf.

Also, it's not too late to get Blaze Kick for Blaziken. Just find yourself a heart scale and bring it to the move tutor in Faralbror, he'll teach your pokémon any move that it's had a chance to learn previously. You could also consider getting Flamethrower through a TM.

For Xatu maybe put in Night Shade (Same procedure as with Blaze Kick for Blaziken) instead of Peck, and possibly Protect or Confuse Ray instead of Teleport. Give it anything but Teleport, m'kay? You might also consider putting in Psychic instead of Future Sight since Future Sight is a bit unreliable because of its accuracy.

Bashaamo August 7th, 2005 2:29 PM

I used 2 heart scales that I found, and couldn't find anymore. Probably there are some more out there... =_= If not, I guess I'll either have to cheat or trade with a friend who has a heart scale attached to some of his pokemon. And I was thinking of this:
Blaziken- Rockslide, Endure, Overheat, Reversal
Rayquaza- Flamathrower, Surf, Ice Beam, Dragon Claw
Bellossom- Sludge Bomb, Solarbeam, Safeguard, Moonlight
Wailord- Hydro Pump, Rest, Amnesia, Water Spout
Xatu-Drill peck, Wish, Protect, Psychic
Lanturn-Something similar to this: Thunder wave, Confuse Ray, Substitute, Thunderbolt
I found these movesets at Serebii.net. I think they're good. I changed some of it, though. >_>

leafgreen386 August 7th, 2005 4:13 PM

Serebii's PotW sucks. Use Smogon for movesets.

Quote:

Blaziken- Rockslide, Endure, Overheat, Reversal
Rayquaza- DD, EQ, Extremspeed, AA
Bellossom- Sunny Day, Solarbeam, HP:Fire/Ice, Moonlight
Wailord- Hydro Pump, Rest, EQ, Curse
Xatu-Reflect, Wish, T-Wave/Light Screen, Psychic
Lanturn-Something similar to this: Surf, IB, Rest, Thunderbolt
You need Rayquaza as a physical sweeper. You already have too many special sweepers on your team.
