Can someone help me out with my espeon.

Serious [email protected]

don't really know the ev's

current moveset

shadow ball
psychic
substitute
morning sun

I was thinking of swapping out substitute for hp ice. I got substitute for annoyers using toxic, swagger, confuse ray, whirlpool, etc. but when up against a pokemon that's super effective against espeon or that has a strong atk, substitute fades in one hit and since it takes away hp, when I go to heal, a super effective move can sweep me. I would replace it with grass knot but already used it on another pokemon. any suggestions?

And this belongs in the request a team, perhaps you should read our stickies too, and give us a general idea of what you'd like to accomplish for us to help you.

Moved.

Best options are Swift Swimmers and Dry Skin pokemon...

Omastar, Kabutops, Kingdra, Ludicolo, Huntail, Gorebyss, Relicanth, Floatzel

Most of these pokemon have average speed, so doubling it due to Rain can make sweepers out of tanks (Kabutops etc). Kingdra and Ludicolo are probably the main ones used in OU, some of the others are better off in UU but can survive if used right.

Toxicroak is the only real Dry Skin useable pokemon, well one could opt for Parasect, but Spore isn't really that great on such a fragile pokemon.

Now as for setting up Rain Dance, apart from the pokemon that actually take advantage of it (Ludicolo, Kingdra etc) you can use pokemon like Bronzong and Celebi to set the rain flowing, hell even Aerodactyl could use a suicidal rain dance set up if you want.

There has always only been one Life Orb in the game, people just decided to clone it a few times on the GTS.

Plus this forum does have a trading section, I'm sure if you got WiFi someone can give you one

This belongs in the Request A Team / Individual Moveset thread, but seeing as how it's out of my section, I can't merge it there D: So I'll just move this over to Strategies & Movesets, and one of the mods there can merge it for you~

Is this a good Battle Tower Team?

Tyranitar
Nature: Adamant
Moveset:
Giga Impact - Massive damage and usually Last-chance KO
Earthquake (PP MAX) - Basic Ground move, really helps
Crunch (PP UP x 2) - Basic hitter, Pesky Psychics
Rock Throw - Oh, right, Flying types... yeah, those are evil and for double-battles without hurting others
Item: Life Orb
Max. EV for Attack
Idea: Depends on who I face. This Tyranitar gains a STAB boost for half of it's moves and KO-s most types in 1, maybe 2 hits. Giga Impact is a last-resort move if my Tyranitar is almost KO-d or that's the last enemy or when I feel overconfident. Earthquake is very basic and powerful, Crunch is a great move too, with STAB and item/EV/Nature boost, making it a very dangerous hit against Alakazam.

Cresselia (Shiny)
Nature: Calm
Moveset:
Psychic (PP MAX) - Basic Attack
Substitute - What else am I going to annoy with?
Toxic (PP UP) - The reason for Substitute and the PP UP is if that PkMn healed.
Moonlight (PP MAX) - If Leftovers are too slow, use this
Item: Leftovers
MAX EV for Defense/Sp. Defense
Idea: Well, it starts out with Toxic and then throws in a Substitute for damage resistance and then protects itself and heals with Leftovers and if the enemy destroyes the Sub, make a new one and heal with Moonlight, and sooner or later, Bad Poisoning will KO the other one and do a bit more damage with Psychic.

Infernape
Nature: Modest
Moveset:
Flamethrower (PP MAX)- Basic Fire move + STAB
Nasty Plot- Sp. Attack boost, big hitter here
Grass Knot (PP UP x 1) - Get rid of heavy fighters and Water/Ground/Rock types
Focus Blast - gains STAB...
Item: Expert Belt
MAX EV for Sp. Attack/Speed, 4 for HP
Idea: Starting off with Nasty Plot, Infernape gains a boost for all three moves, with Focus Blast and Flamethrower also having STAB. I replaced Close Combat due to lack of Nasty Boost for Focus Blast, even with unreliable accuracy, but it's a Blissey KO-er. When in doubt, bring out Flamethrower when it's HP is under 1/3rd, meaning, it gets STAB, Expert Boost, Nature/EV boost and Blaze to make it an Overheat that won't make you weaker!

Tyranitar was my choice, Cresselia too, Infernape's idea was from Serebii.

...You're aware that STAB Stone Edge does just as much as Giga Impact in one turn, and given that you can use Stone Edge twice in a row...

I actually think that Calm Mind or Charge Beam would go better on Cresselia than Sub.

Lol @ Tyranitar. No Giga Impact please. I hate the recoil of that. Go with Dragon Dance>> it for DD Tar to tear up the Tower. Also, why throw silly little rocks at the little kids when you can tear them apart with Stone Edge?

Infernape... I would say either go all-out Ape and try to get HP Electric/Ice on there if you can get it(check your IVs, pm me if you need an IV calc), or stick with this set and go LO>>EB.

Also, if you can, try to max PP on everything.

I just thought of something,, What if i give my Carnivine Sword Dance then Baton Pass to my Staraptor? Since my Staraptor in Platinum is gonna be a physical sweeper, along with Choice Band, it should work right?

I generally don't like passing stat ups to Choice Item users as they tend to be more hit and run Pokemon. Instead, throw Life Orb on that Staraptor.

Empoleon's moves should be (or can be)
- Surf
- HP Electric/Ice Beam/Grass knot
- Stealth Rock/Knock Off (if you can get access to platinum)/Protect
- Yawn/Toxic

Froslass's moves should be (or can be)
- Shadow Ball
- Ice Beam
- Thunderbolt/HP Fighting
- Substitute/Destiny Bond/Psychic

Choose the moves depending on what you want to counter and i hope it helps :D

All right, I fixed it up a bit...

Tyranitar
Nature: Adamant
Moveset:
NEW ATTACK: Stone Edge - Massive STAB and still as powerful as before.
Earthquake (PP MAX) - Basic Ground move, really helps
Crunch (PP UP x 2) - Basic hitter, Pesky Psychics
NEW ATTACK: Dragon Dance - Yeah, I decided to give myself Dragon Dance, to a Attack boost. Sword Dance doesn't work on Tyranitar and I won't use PokeSAV. Speed Boost is minimal.
Item: Life Orb
Max. EV for Attack
Idea: Depends on who I face, but usually Sandstorm is affective. This Tyranitar gains a STAB boost for all of it's moves and KO-s most types in 1, maybe 2 hits, and usually turns into a OHKO with Dragon Dance. Stone Edge replaces Giga Impact due to STAB boost and it also can be launched twice IF the attack won't miss. Earthquake is very basic and powerful, Crunch is a great move too, with STAB and item/EV/Nature boost, making it a very dangerous hit against Alakazam.

Cresselia (Shiny)
Nature: Calm
Moveset:
Psychic (PP MAX) - Basic Attack
Substitute (PP MAX) - NOT CHANGED DUE TO: The fact that Substitute is my best stalling attack, which will leave me on the field for a few more turns.
Toxic (PP UP x 2) - The reason for Substitute and the PP UP is if that PkMn healed.
Moonlight (PP MAX) - If Leftovers are too slow, use this
Item: Leftovers
MAX EV for Defense/Sp. Defense
Idea: Well, it starts out with Toxic and then throws in a Substitute for damage resistance and then protects itself and heals with Leftovers and if the enemy destroyes the Sub, make a new one and heal with Moonlight, and sooner or later, Bad Poisoning will KO the other one and do a bit more damage with Psychic.

Infernape
Nature: Modest
Moveset:
Flamethrower (PP MAX)- Basic Fire move + STAB
Nasty Plot- Sp. Attack boost, big hitter here
Hidden Power [Ice] (PP MAX) - Get rid of heavy fighters and Water/Ground/Rock types- no STAB boost, unfortunately.
Focus Blast (MAX PP) - gains STAB...
Item: Expert Belt
MAX EV for Sp. Attack/Speed, 4 for HP
Idea: Starting off with Nasty Plot, Infernape gains a boost for all three moves, with Focus Blast and Flamethrower also having STAB. I replaced Close Combat due to lack of Nasty Boost for Focus Blast, even with unreliable accuracy, but it's a Blissey KO-er. When in doubt, bring out Flamethrower when it's HP is under 1/3rd, meaning, it gets STAB, Expert Boost, Nature/EV boost and Blaze to make it an Overheat that won't make you weaker!

What other recovery move do you expect me to use? I can use PokeSAV to generate a stronger move (Recover), but I won't.
.....

[But that is a good idea.]

Yeah, best not to hack up a Pokemon, I have a good enough Shiny Cresselia.
