Ice Weakness 2X
If this is familiar, it's because I posted this before, but didn't get much help. I'm not sure if this is double posting (since it's a new thread), but if it is, won't happen again.
I'm looking at my team, feeling proud, but I see a major weakness to Ice. Now I'm not so confident. Here they are, with movesets. Disrupter/Reflector Noctowl-Light Clay Nature: Modest Hypnosis Reflect Whirlwind Air Slash Meh, I like Noctowl. And I figure that with Stealth Rock, it's Whirlwind could be useful. And Reflect is alway's helpful. Clergy Vileplume-Black Sludge Nature: Calm Sludge Bomb Energy Ball Aromatherapy Stun Spore/Toxic (Most likely Toxic) Vileplume's my favorite. It isn't going anywhere. Besides, as said before, it could be a good cleric. Physical Tank Golem-Hard Rock Nature: Brave Earthquake Stone Edge Stealth Rock Rock Polish/Sandstorm/Swords Dance I'm really not so confident in Golem, but, still, I like to battle with those I use in the game. A replacement (Other than Rhyperior) would also be nice. Special Sweeper Raichu-??? Nature: Modest Thunderbolt Grass Knot Nasty Plot Brick Break I feel I did good on Raichu. With Nasty Plot, Grass Knot, and Thunderbolt, I figure it could really help. Brick Break I feel should be replaced, but I'm not sure with what. Physical Sweeper Gyarados-??? Nature: Adament Earthquake Ice Fang Waterfall Dragon Dance Sampson said I did good with this moveset, so I keep it. If one has something better, great. Main Defensive Wall/Sweeper Torterra-??? Nature: Impish Wood Hammer Earthquake Stone Edge Synthesis/Leech Seed Torterra I am very proud of. Now, I feel that it should have a healing move, but should it be disruptive, or just pure healing? With all this Tyranitar and it's damn Sandstream, maybe Synthesis won't be as good, but still... And for my backup- Special Sweeper Roserade: Heat Rock/Damp Stone Nature: Timid Rian Dance/Sunny Day Weather Ball Sludge Bomb ???(Some grass move, maybe Solar Beam?) Like I said, I like using Poke's from my game. I also don't feel like breeding for Leaf Storm, so if their's another suggestion, then that'll be great. If anyone can suggest better movesets, or even replacements for one of my pokemon to help deal with Ice types, then that would be perfect. But Torterra, Vileplume, and Raichu I'm not getting rid of. Thank you very much. SORRY. MADE A MISTAKE AND POSTED TWICE. I DON'T KNOW HOW TO DELETE THIS. THE OTHER ICE WEAKNESS 2X POST IS THE ONE I MADE UPDATES TOO. IF ANYONE (LIKE AN ADMIN) COULD DELETE THIS, THANKS. SO IGNORE THIS ONE PLEASE, BECAUSE THE OTHER ONE IS THE REAL THREAD. AGAIN, SORRY |
Well, the main problem with your team is that there isn't a single fire move in there. If you had at least two pokemon that know Flamethrower, you would be pretty well off.
As for your Golem, I would suggest switching it with Tyranitar. Tyranitar only has double weakness to fighting as opposed to Golem's three double weaknesses against grass, water and ice. |
Thank you very much. I looked up Tyranitar on Serebii, and I feel in love with it's stats. However, while I'm normally good at movesets, I can't really seem to think of a good opn for Tyranitar. Here's what I was thinking:
Tyranitar Nature: Adament Fire Fang Crunch Stone Edge ??? You said someone needs a fire move, so I put Fire Fang. But I can't think of another move. If anyone can help me out, it would be most appreciated, even with the other pokemon on my team. |
If you want to be an all out attacker, go with the above w/ Earthquake.
Crunch Fire Fang Earthquake Stone Edge. |
I wanted Tyranitar to be my Stealth Rock setter-upper. Is there any way I could teach him that without messing him up, or should I teach Stealth Rock to someone else?
|
Ditch Crunch if you want Stealth Rock, ideally. Although it is physical STAB, Earthquake/Stone Edge hits every single type for neutral damage or more.
|
check my trainer card... all weak to ice, eh? well too bad most of them kno fireblast/firefang, and they have unstoppable speed. My teams vunerable to ice... but not if i kill them first. yah got what i posted?
|
I didn't see it like that. You're right, but at least you have a fire type. The only ones who could learn a fire type move is Tyranitar (Fire Fang, Flamethrower) and Roserade (Weather Ball + Sunny Day). My Gyarados can learn Flamethrower, but whats the point? He can barely use it. Should I teach Tyranitar Flamethrower over Fire Fang? It's special isn't low at all. Or should I keep Fire Fang, since it is far superior in terms of attack?
