Help with team (problems with blissey)
Hey all, this is my new team and it usually fares pretty well in netbattle, with one exception. Blissey, when used properly usually ends up making me lose. I can take her out when she is the last pokemon standing and I still have my phyicals, but when shes used in the middle of the battle I can never do enough damage to take her out without succumbing to seismic toss.
Heres my team... Celebi @ leftovers Calm, 252 hp, 108 def, 148 sdef Heal Bell HP (grass) Leech Seed Recover Starmie @ leftovers Modest, 252 speed, 252 satk, 4 hp Ice Beam Psychic Surf Thunderbolt Heracross @ leftovers Adamant, 252 atk, 56 def, 200 spd Earthquake Focus Punch Megahorn Swords Dance Zapdos @ leftovers Modest, 156 hp, 100 spd, 252 satk HP (fire) Rest Sleep Talk Thunderbolt Suicune @ leftovers Bold, 252 hp, 220 def, 36 spd Calm Mind Rest Roar Surf Metagross @ choice brand Hardy, 252 atk, 156 def, 100 spd Earthquake Explosion Meteor Mash Rock Slide Besides the Blissey problem, any thoughts, comments or suggestions are welcome. Also keep the pokemon and moves to usable on emerald version. |
The only thing you have that can defeat Blissey early on is Focus Punch - a move that's hard to use in general. If you can, grab yourself a Substitute Passer or Hypnosis, although Hypnosis is hard because of Natural Cure.
My sggestion is to drop Focus Punch and go with Brick Break - with Hera's STAB and good Attack, it should be able to OHKO Blissey, taking a small portion of damage itself from the switch; but with Blissey, that's inevitable either way. Another option is to add the SubPunching Gengar - Seismic Toss has no effect on it, and Ice Beam will put a dent in him, but with a Substitute up and Gengar's insane speed, he'd easily KO Bliss with Focus Punch, possibly even OHKO. Oh, also, being a Metagross user myself, go with Adamant for him, and move those EVs from Defense into HP - one of the most important things to know is that in the long run, HP will allow you to last longer than Defense will. Thus, the Blissey factor. |

Another idea to OHKO blissey is to give your heracross a choice band.
My two cents. |
Alright thanks for the tips everyone
Richard Steel - Thanks for the idea about the subpuching gengar, but in my experiences he's been too fragile, i might just be using him wrong, but he doesn't last long in a fight and its not worth saving him just for when blissey comes in. aragonbird - I took most of your suggestions, and as far as the hp (ice, grass) over fire goes, I actually had ice on him, but I was having a lot of trouble with grass types so i've been having some success with the fire GC - Thanks for the idea, but I had choice brand on heracross before and I had trouble using it successfully. |
Needs more physical sweeping. May I suggest Garchomp?
