Need advice for completing my team

    Hi, I recently bought SoulSilver off of a friend for really cheap and I've just about got my team down pack. I just need some help rounding it off. I am open to changing movesets, as I'm still in the process of training most of them. I put a * next to mewtwo because I'm not sure if I want a legendary on my team. When I play with my friends we allow one per team but I think I would prefer having ordinary pokemon. Either way I still need one more pokemon to round it off. I am not looking to enter competitions, but my friends are pretty competitive.

    I'm seriously a noob at this. The last time I played pokemon was when you could still find Silver and Gold on store shelves. We played competitively but the system was different and there were fewer pokemon.


    I appreciate all help/input! Thank you.

    Dragonite:
    Nature: Adamant
    EVs: 252 speed/230atk/28 special def
    Moveset:
    Dragon Dance
    Fire Punch/Roost
    Outrage/Dragon Claw
    Earthquake

    Wobuffet
    Nature: Modest
    EVs: 252 hp/mixed other things because I hadn't decided to EV train at the time
    Moveset:
    Counter
    Mirror Coat

  • Just so you know, just because a Pokemon is legendary doesn't mean it's good in battle (like Entei).

    Anyway, on with the rate:

    For starters, what are your Pokemon's abilities?

    For Dragonite, max out its Attack and Speed; it needs the power and Speed it can get.

    Wobbuffet is somewhat gimmicky (IMO), and it needs support for it to work well. I think a Rapid Spinner like Starmie should go in its place:
    -Hydro Pump/Surf
    -Ice Beam
    -Thunderbolt
    -Rapid Spin
    Nature: Timid
    EVs: 252 SAtk/4 SDef/252 Spe
    Item: Life Orb
    Ability: Natural Cure

    On Mewtwo, both Fire Blast and Aura Sphere can handle Steels well. Drop one of those moves and replace it with Thunder or Thunderbolt. The last slot can be used for Calm Mind (yes, the lack of STAB hurts, but it gives good coverage).

    For Skarmory, I'd suggest this set for support:
    -Stealth Rock/Spikes
    -Roost
    -Whirlwind
    -Taunt/Brave Bird/Drill Peck
    Nature: Impish/Careful
    EVs: 252 HP/224 Def/32 Spe or 252 HP/224 SDef/32 Spe
    Item: Leftovers/Shed Shell

    Thank you for your input. So now I have a complete team planned out. I've bread about a dozen magnemites and these are the best two from the batch. I want to go with the second one but its HP is a little low. Thoughts?

    go to pokecheck and add the following to the url:
    ?p=detail&uid=910134
    ?p=detail&uid=910138
