So I'm raising a Brozong. I'm stuck on a particular move situation. I'll just post the moveset first.

[email protected] Berry
Nature:Relaxed
Gyro Ball
Explosion
Stealth Rock
Light Screen
EV: 252 HP, 176 DEF, 76 ATK

The situation is, I have an Electrivire weakness. Gyro Ball + low speed + STAB is powerful, but Earthquake can hit it's weaknesses. I'm NOT replacing Stealth Rock or Light Screen.

I suppose you could run Earthquake instead of Explosion. Then again, that depends on what the rest of your team is.

Only teach Bronzong Earthquake as a last resort if you don't have anything in your team that can strike an Electivire.

Bronzong counters Electivire pretty well as it is. With his awesome Defenses, he'll take little damage from most of the moves Electivire throws at him (unless he for some odd reason has Fire Punch). So Gyro Ball is really all you need. Although, Earthquake is an all-round good move to have somewhere on your team.

And besides, if you run Earthquake, any Flying type or Levitate Poke will have a field day. Charizard is most noteworthy in Bronzong's case.

Now that I think of it, I can use a better Gyarados EV spread & item. I can also use any corrections that you can see. So should Brozong use Earthquake, or Gyro Ball? I have Electrivire problems.

EDIT: Thanks Richard. Ya make a good point. You too, Iceman. So Gyro Ball stays.

I think Sims realizes that...which is his problem at the moment. But keep gyro ball on it, it's a powerful attack usually. MAybe consider EQ over explosion...but that's your call.

A good boltbeamer runs in and pwns everyone on your team. I suggest changing either Torterra or Vileplume, as you really don't need 2 grass types on this team. I also have no idea what Noctowl is doing on your team, as it's pretty much useless with those moves + sleep clause.

I suggest that you change Plume and Noctowl and keep Gyro Ball on Brozong. Brozong has good defense and Light Screen for the occasional mixed Vire. Damagewise, it won't matter that much.

A few things. A Light Screen Brozong cuts off Boltbeamers. I mentioned that Electrivire weakness. Yes, Lum Berry is for WoW. And Noctowl stays. It has helped me plenty of times, surviving STAB'b Stone Edges with the help of Reflect. It has cut off breeding chains, stopped stat uppers/sweepers cold, and blocked off Focus Sash users with the help of Stealth Rock. And most of all, it is my fav!


And don't ever tell me to lose Vileplume. I made such a fuss about it multiple times. On many, many threads.

But of course, thanks for all imput.

Favs FTW! I recommend you get those screens set up b4 the fast and powerful WAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY too OU sweepers come out, especially Vire and the boltbeamers. That way you have a good chance for a win.

Heheh I remember battling that team until it ended up in a way that took 5 hours :P

Maybe you need Earthquake because the only Quaker you have is also weak to Electivire, or put in a speed pokemon :)

I used Noctowl plenty of times. Itachi & C-dog (where is he?) can say how annoying it is.

EDIT:I HATE YOU, NAME! That stall war crippled me emotionally!

EDIT 2: And once Noctowl uses Reflect, half my team is armored.

The main reason I haven't mentioned noctowl in the useless thread is because it can be effective...and go noctowl! Being able to take stone edge...impressive!

Lol :P It's all because of my Bronzong ^^

Anyways, I think you need something speedier than your Raichu though, like Choice Scarfing one of your Pokemon

Now that I think of it, I can use a better Gyarados EV spread & item. I can also use any corrections that you can see. So should Brozong use Earthquake, or Gyro Ball? I have Electrivire problems.

EDIT: Thanks Richard. Ya make a good point. You too, Iceman. So Gyro Ball stays.
From the looks of things, you have more than Electivire problems.

- There's a stat infliction weakness. Someone's liable to come in and Burn / Toxic / Para your team, putting you in a horrible situation.

- CSMedicham might also cause some havoc to your team. But to prevent that, you have to keep Gyarados and Vileplume as your defenses against them.

As far as Electivire goes, Torterra can manage to defend against an UnSTABbed Ice Punch and strike back with Earthquake.

Now personally, you need a Sleep Talker or an Aromatherapist to work out that Status dilemma.

Ok. Thanks, everyone. To Iceman:

You said exactly what I said, what with the status weakness. Hence why I taught Vileplume Aromatheraoy. Perfect, since it is my favorite pokemon from childhood, and fixes that problem. The STABbed Ice Punch is the whole reason I made this thread, but could Reflect fix that?

As for Cham, I forgot about him. I'll keep my eyes open.

You do realize EQ also beats fire types...and since Sims is using gyro ball, -speed nature is the obvious choice.
