  • Forget it. I'm changing the team. I'm busy with my UU/NU team for now.

  • Quick nitpicks, on Gardy, drop Wish for Psychic, otherwise it gets ripped apart by Taunt + Pursuit Skunktank.

    Sudowoodo is p bad, Its outclassed by Bastiadon, so you that doesn't give it much to stand on lol. Use Slowking, its got better defenses, attack coverage, and a healing move.

    Slowking @ Leftovers
    252HP/200Def/56SpDef
    Bold Nature
    -Slack Off
    -Thunder Wave/Toxic
    -Surf
    -Grass Knot

    Butterfree is outclassed by Venomoth, so use that instead.

    On Ninetails use Dark Pulse over the other options.

    Everything else is fine, I might consider dropping Fearow for Sandslash for a Rapid Spinner since most of your team is SR weak.

  • Skuntank is part dark, so no Psychic should hit it. If I see one, I'll immediately switch to an appropriate counter (Taunt that, ya butt showing numbnut)
    TBolt can be used OR Focus Blast. Ghosts can give me a little problem, but Sudowoodo can help that. But since Wish helps Gardevoir become even more a special sponge, with max sp.def and Light Screen and Reflect it can take a few hits.
    I'd should consider that Sandslash, and just a day ago I pal parked a Venomoth. Should come in handy.

    EDIT: I prefer Sudowoodo since it's spared from 4x weaknesses. 4x weakness = You won't even have time to say your prayers.

  • Well i Very Recently Switched out my Butterfree for a Venomoth and the difference is very noticeable but it is set up like a Toxic Spikes Venomoth lost the stun powder and dream eater and U Turn but having the spikes Bug buzz and Psychic has been a Healthy switch

  • Yes, Skunktank is part dark, but other pursuiters can skill KO it if it has no attacking move by simply using taunt.

    That's the point, the moment Skuntank goes out I without any hesitation stright switch to a counter.
    I've been looking over Venomoth for a little while now, I came up with this

    Venomoth @ Life Orb / Leftovers
    252 Sp.att, 252 Spd, 4 Sp.d
    -Sleep Powder
    -Stun Spore
    -Leech Seed
    -Bug Buzz

    It's a set for bugging with the Double Status concept. Sleep something, paralyze something, and then leech seed it. A switch is highly predictable in this case. Nobody likes getting their HP sapped + having to worry about being paralyzed. I thought about giving it Toxic, because I'd rather burn physical attackers than poison them.

    @Tree
    Dream Eater isn't worth a slot. Sleeping Pokemon = switch = you lost a good turn = epic fail.
    Don't get me wrong, DE is more than good on CPU opponents, but in online.. That's a whole other story.
    U-Turn is physical, so Venomoth won't have too many uses for it. Little damage doesn't hurt, but a move slot real hurts.

    Umm Pursuit kinda does double damage when you switch. :/

    NU isnt about slapping a bunch of random pokes together you know that right ?

    Fearow is inferior to Dodrio, Butterfree is an inferior Venomoth for the most part. Not 4x SR weak, tinted lense, absorbs t-spikes (which sink your whole team) etc.

    Though anything with Close Combat and a good speed stat KO's your whole team. Gardy gets 2hko'd by Scarf Primape with CC. :/

    Also nothing can take on Slowking...like at all or Curse Miltank and nothing can take boosted Psychics. Heck you are even Haunter weak.

    I suggest you take a look at this and get familiar with the metagame.

  • Actually I'm dropping this team and building a new one.
    I said if I see a Skuntank most chances that it will taunt, but I'll just switch to something else. But It won't matter because this team changes.
