Hello can somebody post? I want a rating for my pokemon.

Mod edit: Please don't double post to bump your thread. :/ Just be patient.

First off, please exercise a little patience. Either people didn't feel like posting in your thread, or haven't gotten around to it. Mods also frown upon double posting.

As for your team, you have some pretty big flaws. Fixes in bold:

Sad Salamence. First, avoid neutral Natures. They don't help your Poke in any way. Also, if you notice, Salamence has the second highest Atk stat (behind the cheap Groudon) on your team, so it should be a physical attacker (which it excels at) rather than special. The above set is preferred with the Choice Band, but DD can make it equally devastating. Its Adamant Nature doesn't hurt FB too much either since its base SAtk is high and Drought will boost it up anyway. RS is an option though. Also, don't use hax items like Quick Claw. Since your Poke is already Lv100, you can no longer EV train, so I suggest breed a new one. CB increases its Atk and the berry protects it from any statuses.


Sceptile Lv.100 Male ITEM: Leftovers

HP: 313 ATTACK: 222 DEFENCE: 251
SP.ATK: 168 SP.DEF: 251 SPEED: 264
EVs: 252 SAtk / 252 Spd / 6 HP
Timid Nature (+Spd, -Atk)
- Leaf Blade/Solarbeam
- Leech Seed
- Substitute
- Thunderpunch

Another bad Nature, although I am beginning to see that these are just the Pokes that you caught and not actually bred. I HIGHLY suggest breeding, as not only can you get better Natures, but some of the best moves on your Pokes can only be acquired through breeding. Also, are you sure its SAtk stat is correct? Having that low of SAtk with a Nature that supposedly +SAtk just doesn't look right to me. At any rate, if its SAtk is that low, you should either breed a new one, or go Solarbeam over LB, but only after Groudon has hit the field and Drought is in effect. Sub and TP are Move Tutors at the Battle Frontier and Leech Seed is an Egg move that I alluded to earlier. EVs should be max SAtk on this poor and unfortunate Sceptile.


Groudon Lv.100 Genderless ITEM: Shell Bell

HP: 364 ATTACK: 335 DEFENCE: 296
SP.ATK: 269 SP.DEF: 201 SPEED: 243
EVs: 252 Atk / 252 Spd / 6 HP
Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)/Jolly Nature (+Spd, -SAtk)
- Earthquake
- Fire Blast
- Rock Slide
- Swords Dance

Never, ever, ever, ever put Slash on a non-Normal Poke. Ever. Too many other moves that are more effective. Also, NEVER use Solarbeam on Groudon. It is VERY noobish. If you look at its stats, you will notice that its Atk is 66 points higher than its SAtk. Like Salamence, you are better off exploiting that. After one SD, a STAB EQ does serious damage, even OHKOing most Water-types. Solarbeam is not needed. RS is much better and FB is pretty self-explanatory.


Crobat Lv.74 Male ITEM: Leftovers

HP: 240 ATTACK: 167 DEFENCE: 153
SP.ATK: 119 SP.DEF: 163 SPEED: 238

Careful Nature
Sludge Bomb
Wing Attack
Confuse Ray
Poison Fang

You already have Salamence and Groudon. Crobat is not needed. I would suggest a special sweeper. Gardevoir, Gengar, Alakazam, or even Starmie are good options.

Blaziken Lv.65 Male ITEM: None

HP: 206 ATTACK: 168 DEFENCE: 112
SP.ATK: 174 SP. DEF: 125 SPEED: 140

Timid Nature
Double Kick
Blaze Kick
Sky UpperCut
Slash

Improved Salamence and Groudon make this Poke expendable. You are better off going with a Poke that can take a few special hits. Regice or Umbreon or even Ludicolo would fit well here. Preferrably something that can heal itself or heal others.

Armaldo Lv.72 Male ITEM: Chesto Berry/Leftovers

HP: 211 ATTACK: 237 DEFENCE: 177
SP.ATK: 117 SP.DEF: 139 SPEED: 98
EVs: 244 HP / 208 Def / 58 Atk
Brave Nature (+Atk, -Spd)/Relaxed Nature (+Def, -Spd)
- Aerial Ace
- Earthquake
- Rock Blast
- Swords Dance/Rest

Bad luck with Natures. I would select a different physical wall like Muk, Forretress, or Skarmory, but Armaldo can take a few physical hits and dish out some pain too. Again, no Normal attacks on non-Normal Pokes, and never give two attacking moves of the same type to the same Poke. Use Chesto with Rest since in-game it will be more effective.

Even though you can all-out sweep in-game against the pathetic AI, doesn't mean you should. Get your team a little more well-rounded, even take out Groudon if you can since it is too powerful against the AI and you cannot use it in the Battle Frontier.

Crobat39 September 4th, 2006 12:27 PM

It doesnt matter if I cant use Groudon in the Battle Frontier. My pokemon can do well in battles. But I just want a few suggestions. Not alot. And please dont change the nature because I am not going to catch another bagon with Adament nature and train it to lv. 100 again so keep the nature out. Just suggest attacks, I just wanted to show their status to yall.

shanecdavis September 19th, 2006 10:27 AM

Apparently the server ate a bunch of our posts.

To reitorate what I said before, if you don't want to take suggestions from others then don't ask for them. As for you only wanting movesets, I already did that with the good Pokes. Here are the other two:

Crobat @ Choice Band
Jolly Nature (+Spd, -SAtk)
- Aerial Ace
- Return
- Shadow Ball
- Sludge Bomb

Blaziken @ Leftover/White Herb
Hasty Nature (+Spd, -Def)
- Overheat
- Rock Slide
- Sky Uppercut
- Swords Dance

Steel Wing over Return on Crobat to take care of Rocks. Return should be saved for Pokémon who actually get Normal STAB. Also, Adamant is fine for in-game since Crobat will still outspeed everything.

4 of your pokemon are weak to ice pokemon. You need to deal with that.

Meh. In-game, with the CB boost, I prefer Return over Steel Wing. SW fails and it is easier to just switch out on Rocks.
