  • Heya guys, this is what I currently got planned for a team. I can't decide whether I should give my Sceptile a special or a physical moveset and whether I should use Armaldo or Relicanth.

    Electabuzz
    Quirky
    -Rain Dance
    -Thunder
    -Psychic
    -Thunder Wave

    Feraligatr
    Jolly
    -Swords Dance
    -Waterfall
    -Superpower
    -Crunch

    Sceptile
    Quirky
    -Energy Ball
    -Dragon Pulse
    -Double Team
    -Synthesis

    Or

    -Swords Dance
    -Leaf Blade
    -Earthquake
    -X-Scissor

    Ninetales
    Modest
    -Nasty Plot
    -Energy Ball
    -Flamethrower
    -Extrasensory

    Zangoose
    Adamant
    -Swords Dance
    -Return
    -Close Combat
    -Shadow Claw

    Armaldo @ Quick Claw
    -Swords Dance
    -Rock Slide
    -X-Scissor
    -Aqua Tail

    Or

    Relicanth (rock head)
    -Yawn
    -Rock Polish
    -Head Smash
    -Waterfall

    Or

  • I recommend evolving Electabuzz to Electivire with this moveset-

    Rain Dance
    Thunder
    HP Ice
    Psychic

    Replace Sword Dance with Dragon Dance on Feraligatr. It will help him a lot.
    Use the special set of Sceptile. You have too many physical attackers.
    Why are you using Ninetales in Rain? Replace it with Swift Swim Floatzel-

    Bulk Up
    Waterfall
    Ice Punch
    Crunch/Return/Brick Break

    Zangoose looks fine.
    Use Swift Swim Armaldo because it can be deadly compared to Relicanth.

    I'm not too fond of Electivire, if I'd use him, I'd use a physical set instead. Thunder wave is more important than HP Ice (Crippling the opponent so I can set up more safely.)
    Replace Sword Dance with Dragon Dance on Feraligatr. It will help him a lot.
    He doesn't need any help help outspeeding potential threats so far...

    Use the special set of Sceptile.
    Roger that.

    No. Ninetails is there to provide some coverage outside of the rain. Plus I don't like Floatzel and Feraligatr covers the same types already.

    Zangoose looks fine.
    Use Swift Swim Armaldo because it can be deadly compared to Relicanth.
    Swift Swim Armaldo is only obtainable in genV, this is a Platinum team. =/

    Thanks for the tips though =)

  • Sorry for my silly mistake and if you didn't liked my tips. I was just helping you a bit.
    Also you may use rain dance on more pokemon because if your rain dance users faints, then your team will loose its power.
