Move Set tactic that I want to experiment with
i remember when i was playing colosseum and was annoyed by dakim's earthquake/protect strategy the first time i played him. i'm considering expanding on that concept.
what do you think? (Double Battle team, obviously) -Exploud Earthquake Protect Hyper Voice Rest -Gyarados Earthquake Surf Rain Dance Thunder -Cradily Earthquake Protect Rock Slide Giga Drain -Glalie Earthquake Protect Icy Wind Water Pulse -Claydol Earthquake Psychic Light Screen Explosion (SURPRISE!!!) -Salamence Earthquake Dragonbreath Rock Slide Brick Break |
If you want to do something like that use Gyarados/Rhydon. Not only is Gyarados immune to EQ, Rhydon has Lightningrod to give it immunity to its biggest weakness.
|
Remove the Exploud. Think about it. Once you rest, your Exploud will be HELPLESS to your own Earthquakes. Also, think about changing the Gyarados's moveset to build off its superior Attack power. By using Rain Dance instead of Dragon Dance, you're screaming "THUNDER ME!!"
Also, by using Protect/Earthquake, you're actually limiting yourself. With only one Pokemon attacking a turn, you're putting yourself at a severe disadvantage; one that the opponent could exploit by stating up or inflicting status. |

um...nothin' agains earthquake but all your pokemon shouldn't have it.
I'm no expert here but for gyarados you should stick to physical attacks. try this for him Earthquake (since you like it so much) Dragon Dance Facade Rock Slide (um...don't remember if it can learn this from a move tutor.) but if your'e playing emerald take him to one of those old ladies and if you have enough BP's you can have him learn it. or um..Thunderwave I'm pretty it can learn that from a move tutor. depending on which one it can learn, i'd go for thunderwave over rock slide. for the next pokemon, Cradily I know that thing has solid defenses I recommend breeding one and EV training to be a tank type thing. try this move set @left overs toxic leech seed confuse ray counter/protect that aught to be really annoying to face. I wouldn't worry too much about losing giga drain since leech seed and left overs can take are of you there, just remember to really concentrate on this things defenses. if you want it to be an attacker, you can always replace confuse ray and counter/protect for either Rocklide and sandstorm or Sunny day & Solar Beam I think the sunny beamer is the better once. not so fast ofa pokemon but tough to get past 'cuz of the annoyiness of it's moves. My last recomendation is for Salamence GREAT POKEMON THERE dump dragon breath for Dragon Dance and you're pretty much set. here's mine, it's my dragon team starter. Protect Dragon Dance Rock Slide Brick Break the only dragons you'll have to worry about are probably Kingdra and Altaria since they both have decent defenses. Altaria will be weak to rock slide but it's defenses are kinda rock solid. but 1 or 2 hits from rock slide should take it out, that is assuming you've trained your salamance to be a physical sweeper. anyway, you team seems ok you may want to tweek the members a bit since a few still have far too many common weaknesses. you have a 3x weakness to rock and a 3x weakness to fighting. anyway, the point of this was to rate it wasn't it. um...5/10 'cuz I like that not all your team is OVERUSED pokemon. so points for originality. but it still needs some work. |
I'm going to laugh.
