My New Competitive Team
This is the new team I use for competitive play (needs work) on D/P. I use this for tournaments and leagues, suggestions and criticisms are requested. TMs is not a problem, so if you want me to replace moves that is not a problem. Also, I have several pokemon in my PC so if anyone should be switched that is possible. Thank you :)
http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/2/22/Art-Gyarados.png Item: None Hydro Pump Ice Fang Dragon Dance Earthquake I use him as my sweeper, as it is fast and covers a lot of weaknesses. http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/7/76/Nidoking.png Nidoking Item: None Water Pulse Earthquake Thunderbolt Megahorn Even though Nidoking has several weaknesses, he proves as a worthy pokemon to use with the wide variety of moves and has balanced stats. http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/a/a6/Dragonite.png Item: None Thunderbolt Focus Punch Fire Blast Ice Beam Dragonite, probably my best pokemon here in the list. http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/b/bf/Machamp.png Vital Throw Rest Cross Chop Earthquake Machamp is my tank. http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/0/05/Torterra.png Item: X Sp. Def Earthquake Crunch Giga Drain Leaf Storm http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/f/f1/6charizard.png Item: None Solar Beam Flamethrower Fly Earthquake Charizard is my favorite pokemon thus he is in my lineup. ---- Here are some pokemon I have in my PC. I am not afraid to switch any out in exchange. http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/5/56/Starmie.png Item: None Thunderbolt Ice Beam Recover Camoflauge http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/2/21/Heracross.png Item: None Leer Horn Attack Endure Fury Attack I didn't train him at all. http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/f/f5/Alakazam.png Item: Mind Plate Psybeam Psycho Cut Psychic Recover http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/0/0b/Snorlax.png Item: None Body Slam Swallow Toxic Stockpile http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/2/2a/Steelix.png Item: X Attack DragonBreath Iron Tail Crunch Rock Slide http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/d/d8/Zapdos.png Item: None Thunder Wave Shock Wave Detect Drill Peck http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/0/0c/GolemPKMN.png Item: None Rollout Explosion Rock Blast Earthquake http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/d/d0/Lucario.png/100px-Lucario.png Item: None Quick Attack Foresight Force Palm Counter http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/6/6d/Arcanine-059.png Item: Exp Share Flare Drive Rock Tomb Extremespeed Will-O-Wisp http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/e/e6/Aerodactyl.png Rock Smash (I know, bad move) Rock Tomb Ancient Power Hyper Beam Once again, thank you :) |
This is not a competitive team. This is a team you threw together with random Pokemon from your PC.

Let me rephrase that then: Learn something about the D/P metagame before asking to have a team rated. I was taking you seriously until Hyper Beam Aerodactyl. Oh wait, no I wasn't. Before that there was "Machamp is my tank.", Torterra holding X SDef, and Hydro Pump Gyara. This is not a competitive team.

And all the pokemon in my PC are not trained for comeptitive play, but I am willing to fix them IF someone suggests to switch someone from my normal line up too that. And yes, I do realize there ARE mistakes in my team which is why I asked for suggestions you moron. Before you make moronic ASSUMPTIONS read what the original posts say, what forum you are posting in, and get common sense. -Edit- For morons like you, I put in the first sentence of my post in parenthesis after competitive play "needs work" since apparently some people have trouble reading. |
I know what forum I'm posting in. The Pokemon Strategies and Movesets forum, for strategies and movesets. And this thread is titled "My New Competitive Team", which leads me to believe that you're looking for competitive strategies and movesets. And FYI, "Rate my team" is "Fix my team".
Though I will admit, I could've been nicer. I'm just used to people actually knowing something about competitive battling before posting teams. I guess because your team is pretty much useless competitively, to me it's more like you're saying "Build a team for me." |
Hmmmm....
First off, if you want a sweeping Gyarados, use a MS like this instead: Dragon Dance (Replace with Stone Edge if you're running it with a Choice Band) EQ (Earthquake) Stone Edge/Ice Fang Waterfall Nidoking, how I like that Pokemon. However, it is going to get ran over in the current meta-game. It's a good Hera counter, but other than that...eh. :/ Definitely switch it out if you're more about winning, winning, winning, but if you like the Pokemon and just want to use it, go for it. Nothing wrong with that. Dragonite can be a crazy Pokemon to have. Quite a bit of choices. If you want to use it for attacking, which obviously you do, consider the moves Outrage, EQ, Fire Blast, Dragon Dance, Substitute, Flame Thrower, Focus Punch. Dragonite can be a special sweeper, a physical one, or a mixed one. Machamp is not a tank, but if you want one with rest, consider this: Rest Sleep Talk Dynamic Punch/Cross Chop Stone Edge As for Torterra and Charizard...eh. :/ Something you'll be wanting, or should consider, or a healer and a Spiker/Stealth Rocker/Rapid Spinner. Your team is very attack oriented, and teams like that well completely get thwarted. You might want to consider Starmie and Snorlax for your team. |
I would lose to an 8 year old with that team.

I'd also like to point out that even Medicham w/o Choice Scarf single-handedly takes this team out, as well as Starmie. |
Hmmm go w/ what stats the pokemon are GOOD at! Like how Iceman put that Gyarados's hydro pump should be replaced w/ aqua tail. Well, sure, hydro pump is stronger with the base power of 120, but, its a sp. attack.
|
Iceman, Iceman, Iceman. This is the second time you told someone to give Seed Bomb to Torterra. I will admit, it's not a bad move for him, but Wood Hammer is better.
Torterra Earthquake Wood Hammer/Seed Bomb Stone Edge/Rock Slide Leech Seed/Syntheis Leftovers w/ Leech Seed could help recover from your own Wood Hammer, but Synthesis is still an option. Remember, with all these Sandstorms, its a wee bit risky. Wood Hammer, like I said, is a better move, but Seed Bomb is a viable option. Seed Bomb has no recoil, but suffers a severe power drop. And Rest is just a God-awful move for Torterra. Ice can wipe it out while Torterra is sleeping. Cber? What does that mean? All these terms, I can't keep up. |
CB'er = Choice Bander.
Eh, have to type more due to the message being too short. |
Would Waterfall be a good replacement for Gyarados? I seem to miss ALOT with Aqua Tail, and its supposed to be 90 accuacy.
|
yes waterfall is MUCH better in that respect

I'm not saying Seed Bomb is bad, but if you suggest it, Wood Hammer should also be suggested.
|
...my dragonite, charizard, and nidoking could kill yours...
|
you should teach dragonite the moveset
ice beam dragon claw fly earthquake |
oh, and for your nidoking you should switch thunderbolt and/or waterpulse for poison jab or brick break
|
another suggestion, use gallade instead of machamp
|
Why did you quadruple post and revive an already-dead thread? o_O
|
i dont know, just bored i guess
