Well, Dragons (by themselves) are powerful. However, when they're all grouped together, they just become giant ICE BEAM PLX targets. Try replacing a good number of your team with dragonesque Pokemon, like Charizard, Gyarados, Aerodactyl, or Milotic if you're allowed.

EDIT: Lawl @ Improfane. Competitive battling is SRS BUSINESS. Like, more SRS than the whole internets. Srsly.

Actually, I'm not allowed. I was only allowed Gyarados, but it didn't go over so well. So, I replaced it with Kingdra.

Yowch, what a bunch of tightwads. There are really only five useable dragons in the entire game (Altaria fails at life.). Couldn't they be nice to the one type that needs as much variety as it can get?

The topic poster probably came here so he could get a better moveset. Not lectured by competitive battlers who IMHO, waste time getting IVs and EVs.

You people are nasty. You're like a mechanical company who refuses to service someone's car because you don't like the look of a customer. Just give him a moveset that is better aswell as some passing advice about how awful his team is for competitive battling. If he cares enough he'll make effort to waste time for it. Otherwise he'll be scared away from competitive battling community...

*Oh please.
Wow. Speaking of useless post, here's one here! Thanks for sticking your nose where it has no business being. At least give advice. And good advice. This is STRATEGIES & MOVESETS. Duh. Get over yourself, please.

Oh. So it's supposed to be all dragons :shocked:

Well, in that case I'd say it's a fairly decent team if you're the kind who doesn't care much about EVs and Natures (like me... yeah...)
Other than the moves, as I said before. Better flying moves, no more Dig, and a few Fire/possibly Electric attacks (perhaps some status-effecting and status-problem moves as well) and it'd be fairly decent in that respect.

Thanks. But I'm starting to care more about EVs/Natures. And as for Dig/Fly: They're no more! :) The only reason I haven't lost a gym challenge is 'cause I've only gotten 3, and all three wins were luck.

Hang on. No. This topic title explicitly asks for help. Did you read the topic title? 'I am in dire need of help'. He wants you to help him, not just dismiss it altogether.

Strategies doesn't always mean IVs/EVs, Strategies means making a solution with incomplete information. If you can strategise with NO EVs/IVs then you are still strategising. Let that be a task to the reader: someone do a 0EV and 0IV competition.

If something smells wrong I'll follow my nose to fix it, thankyou.
* I don't get how this is really relevant to my post. It's nothing to do with me. It's to do with being polite.
This is the place for COMPETITIVE BATTLING. Coming out of nowhere and calling everyone sthck up & inpolite is simply stupid. Yes, EV/IV are VERY IMPORTANT in competitive battling, like it or not. Try to dispute that. A team of fully EV trained pokes can and will masacre a team that is not. Strategy is important, but a person who has fully EV trained pokes can be just as good at strategiezing, AND has Well-trained pokes.

If he has a major problem, we will mention it. Hands down. We gave him a set, AND explained his weaknesses. If you or him has such a big problem, you can go to another site. Hell, he said he has no problem withthe critisism. You are the only person here who has not done anything to help, rather you just say how mean we are. If we are doing it so rudely and not giving him what he wanted, why didn't you at least give him movesets? No one asked for your opinion of us, and neither did the threadmaker.

You are the only one here not contributing, but actually flamming members. We're nasty? More like brutally honest.

Also, my apologies to Synyster, since this thread will likely be locked and banhammered very soon.

So in the end, rude as we are, you are the only one here who has done nothing to benifit the threadmaker, you just whine about how mean we are.

I'm not whining. I wrote a battle system to imitate the games as closely as possible. I doubt even the Pokemon developers can defeat the best players. They don't play the game, they make it.

I don't like grinding. That is all.

I'll GTFO, sure. Happily.

But you guys suck donkeys.

All of you are acting childish D: Debate about competitive battles somewhere else, seriously. You're just going off-topic for the wrong reasons. And if you do move to another topic, be mature about it.

Get on topic or I'll start deleting posts and/or handing out warnings.
