I've been playing Pokémon since the first generation (hold R/S/E, took a break there), but I've decided just recently I want to slowly merge my way into competitive battling. The B/W post-game is just too boring, and I need something to fulfill my Pokémon cravings.
I have a pretty decent understanding of the game in general. Types/STAB/IVs/EVs/etc... I just can't seem to put together a decent team! My record in random match-up right now is 2-14, I believe. There would be a few more wins, but many people disconnect as I'm about to win. Connection isn't the issue, though, I know my team needs some work.
I was wondering if you guys could help me out? I'll list below what I have to work with, I'd much appreciate it if you'd help me out with movesets, which six to use, and also what other Pokémon you recommend I obtain, and how to set them up. I am completely fine with raising a whole new team of six, as long as it's something I'll be able to do well with.
But anyway, here's a bunch I've been using in random match-up.
Crobat
Bright Powder
Double Team
Wing Attack
Confuse Ray
Toxic
I've been using this annoyer Crobat since Crobat existed. I love it to pieces, one of my favourite Pokémon. I know it's greatly frowned upon to use Double Team, though.
Scizor (shiny <3)
No item
Acrobatics
Iron Head
X-Scissor
Swords Dance
I usually just try to sweep with this, but will do a couple swords dances if my openant doesn't look like it will rip my head off.
Lapras
Focus Band
Confuse Ray
Surf
Ice Beam
Thunderbolt
Porygon-Z (shiny <3)
Silk Scarf
Tri-Attack
Signal Beam
Psychic
Nasty Plot
Charizard (shiny <3)
Choice Band
Wing Attack
Earthquake
Dragon Claw
Flamethrower
I'm using him as a choice bander for now, until winter comes along and I can get the TM for substitute.
Venusaur (shiny <3)
Leftovers
Leech Seed
Toxic
Facade
Razor Leaf
Archeops
Razor Fang
Stone Edge
Crunch
Double Team
Fly
I really needs ideas for Archeops' moveset.
Garchomp
Draco Plate
Earthquake
Crunch
Dragon Rush
Swords Dance
Scrafty
Black Belt
Crunch
Hi Jump Kick
Head Smash
Dragon Dance
Alakazam
Spell Tag
Calm Mind
Recover
Psychic
Shadow Ball
Typhlosion
Item that increases length of Sunny Day... forget what it's called?
Sunny Day
Flamethrower
SolarBeam
Earthquake
I also have a few pokemon like Haxorus/Volcarona/Metagross/Darmanitan/Conkelldurr/Samurott that I haven't really used in random match-up... their movesets were built around in-game battles.
As you guys can probably see I need some guidance. What would you recommend I do for a six Pokémon team? Remember I am really okay with raising new Pokémon completely, I'd actually be pretty excited to do so.
