Help me with this team, please... I'm stumped. :|
This team is for Battle Tower, strictly Sapphire version since Pokemon players are rare at my school. >.<
Starmie @ Shell Bell/Choice Band Trait: Natural Cure Nature: Adamant ThunderBolt Psychic Surf Ice Beam I am seriously changing this thing. I want a Starmie with a Modest nature, and a much better moveset. I really wasn't thinking very well before training it for Battle Tower. (Where can I steal a Blue Shard?) Metagross @ Leftovers Trait: Clear Body Nature: Rash Psychic Light Screen Secret Power (30% paralysis) Iron Defense I'm having a lot of trouble with this thing. Its low SpDef and Spd are problems for me, especially when I'm battling faster Pokes with high Spd and SpAtk that also know fire-type moves (such as, oh let's say, Blaziken or Salamence that have the right natures). Absol @ Quick Claw Trait: Pressure Nature: Adamant Slash (I'm breaking a very popular rule here, but it was either this or Quick Attack.) Double Team Swords Dance Flamethrower I need help here... Plenty... I was very surprised by Absol's immense Atk which even surpassed my Metagross'. I decided to abuse it so I kept Swords Dance. But my problem with Absol is that it's the only member of my team that can learn Flamethrower, yet, it has abbysmal SpAtk. I was forced to learn a Fire-type move since I had trouble dealing with Steel-types. My old team contained a Latias, but I decided Starmie was good enough, even with the bad nature. I only included Absol after a humiliating defeat by a Shedinja... |

Aw, dang. I thought Choice Band affected even Special Moves. Thanks for that info, jc_rcw. The Metagross is hopeless and Earthquake's already been used on my Aggron, and Shadow Ball on my Mightyena. (That seriously sucks, I know. I used to be stupid. I probably still am, but, nyah...). I've got to study some breeding charts for that Rock Slide... And seeing how Metagross can't learn it through breeding, being genderless and all, I guess I'll have to change him. Or have him traded to Emerald for that move tutor guy. Thankfully, I've saved my Toxic TM... I'll go get a different Pokemon with a fitting nature and trait. As for Absol and Starmie, back to the boxes with them... Absol will be replaced by...... i dunno. Starmie will be replaced by Starmie v2.0 with Modest nature, Reflect and Recover. And about that Metagross, I placed Light Screen and Iron Defense since they were backed up by Leftovers. I thought that was a good enough combo but obviously, I was wrong. I need to change my entire team... I have nobody to trade with, so no Move Tutor... I'm limited strictly to Sapphire, so it would help sooooooooo much if the standards were kept within the cart's range. When I DO find somebody to trade with, I want to be prepared for a battle soon after. Well, wish me luck everyone.
Alter_Ego, this is the second time you've helped me out. Kudos to you and jc_rcw. I welcomingly accept your constructive criticism. Thanks guys! |
We're here for that. If you are going to completely get rid of metagross, you can always use salamence, though you'd have to breed if you use the dragon dance set.
Leftovers Adamant Dragon dance Aerial ace Earthquake (Yeah you already used it ;_; ) rock slide/fire blast or choice band adamant/jolly aerial ace earthquake rock slide fire blast/brick break/hydro pump The sets are pretty similar, but I can't think of something else. |

1.meteor mash 2.psychic 3.earthquake 4.agility and your absol, if you can get the right nature, ev's, etc., like mine, will look like this(i got my absol in the high 200's in spatk, with the correct stuff, at lv.100) 1.aerial ace 2.crunch 3.swords dance 4.thunderbolt/ice beam/flamethrower((hard to choose for me, i get the tm's to suit the situation.)) oh, and as for salamence, i like my set for it 1.flamethrower 2.hydro pump 3.dragon claw 4.earthquake hey, if anyone can comment on my chansey in gold here, please do: 1.toxic 2.protect 3.detect 4.psychic |
Hey, g_man92 don't triple post. [/mini-mod] And Tail_Glow listen to jc_rcw and Alter_Ego, there the ones that fixed your team right up.
|
Don't mini-mod, just report it. g_man92, he's right, go read the rules, & don't spam with YOUR team. Make a new thread for it.
