Nononononononononononononononononononononononono.

-Hyper Beam Moves ALWAYS suck *coughfrenzyplantcough*
-Fly ALWAYS sucks...that's what HM slaves are for
-EV train your pokemon...learn about EVs, or you'll get KILLED.
-Have walls, not just a ton of sweepers
-Don't use the same type moves on one pokemon, like fire punch and blaze kick

There are PLENTY more simple battling rules this team breaks...and Drgaon dance on a kingdra w/ no physical moves? No. Just no. Rebreed and get good IVs, natures, etc.

Iceman's Torterra set is awesome (do we still say that?). Here is mine:

[email protected]
Nature:Impish
Wood Hammer
Synthesis
Earthquake
Stone Edge

Stick with Iceman's set tillyou get more experience in competitive battling.

Eh, not really. Iceman's Torterra kind of fails due to the fact that it can't boost its Attack quickly enough. It's not as durable as Snorlax and has a ton of weaknesses, so it's easy to force it to switch out. Swords Dance/CB Torterra is much better.

My Torterra works for me as a good ole wall, or tank, or whichever takes attacks while giving them back. And as a great Metagross counter, for reasons I've yet to understand.

Guys I really think you missed the point, Im just really experimenting with alot of different movesets, and my metagross and blaziken are in training right now and all of my pokemon are being EV trained vigorously relentlessly with no mercy but of course im showing them love with massages daily. Oh and yea I know everything about EVs, IVs, and molding a pokemon into a certain type of use(for lack of a better word) Im not a noob I was just curious to see what u guys were going to say. I hope sincerely hope that wasn't tooooo harsh.

We can tell from our experience that those sets suck, so don't bother with them.

and my metagross and blaziken are in training right now and all of my pokemon are being EV trained vigorously relentlessly with no mercy but of course im showing them love with massages daily.
We can't tell if you've EV trained them well if you don't post their actual EVs.
Also, no one cares about a Pokemon's happiness unless you're using Return.


Oh and yea I know everything about EVs, IVs, and molding a pokemon into a certain type of use(for lack of a better word)
You have yet to show us what you know. You haven't mentioned any EVs or IVs in your original post.

huh? Just post an EV trained team...that team sucks, so post one that is serious...or so you say that wasn't serious. We didn't miss the point, those movesets SUCKED. Cut & dry. Period...how about exclamation point! It WAS THAT bad. Show you know how to use physical walls, special walls, sweepers, spinners, tanks, etc. effectively, and I'll rate your team. But that gets a -2.3/10...

EDIT: and everything aragornbird said...he's right, you have only told us you aren't a noob, try proving it by actually posting EVs and all that. At l;east natures...and any good battler, or even decnt battler knows levels are irrelivant and mean nothing.

Thier right. Also, if ya didn't really need help, no need to make a thread. If ya know so much, show us. ANY battler knows Frenzy Plant just plain sucks, especially on Torterra, with his pathetic sp.atk. Fly is a terrible move. I gave you a VERY generous 3/10, the extra point was cause you seemed like you were trying, somewhat.

Yeah, Sims is right...and if you don't post something new, mods'll lock this...I mean really, even novelty sets don't use fly and frenzy plant...it's battling basics.

We aren't bashing you, don't think it like that. Everything we said was plain constructive critisism, not an outright insult, we never said "OMG, YOU n00borz, YOU SUX, wE HATE YOU" or anything like that. Compared to this, that first set is an insult. We know its bad, you know its bad, why did you not put this current team up first?

I would give this currrent team 6/10. Gengar & Charizard aren't looking good. Kingdra's Rain Dance doesn't benifit anyone but Kingdra, while hurting Charizard.

Nononononononononononononononononononononononono. Metagross is a physical attacker, and CM is lol on it. torterra is okay, but nothing more...that charizard...okay, no. I'm not big on a scarfed Foucus punch move...but not THAT bad. Kingdra made me lol, Cscarf rain dance? I don't think so. Hypnosis+dream eater fails. Ever heard of sleep clause? Snorlax is fine, but IMO curselax is better. you still haven't posted EVs and natures. 4/10

Metagross's defenses are way to high for a focus Sash, plus they work best on leads and Metagross isn't something you'll ussually be leading with.

I voted "horrible, what kind of trainer are you?" It needs serious work. And I think you already know what I mean.
