Try Crobat. It's not just a flyer, It's a poison type.

Lotta Hating on victreebell, Sleep Powder + Sunny Day + Solar Beam makes he fairly decent. I used him with those moves since I got Sunny day in the goldenrod Radio Tower and have no complaints.

I love all the pidgy-family line hate goin' on in this thread. As someone who has never used a pidgey, like, ever, I say ha to all you fools who caught one.

Noctowl is the way to go with Psychic, Air Slash, Shadow Ball, and then like calm mind/hypnosis/fly/roost or some other filler move. Specially oriented flying type ftw!

...oh, wait, I forgot. Thats not the point of this thread xD
As for my mon that I wish was better, it'd be my dunsparce. If I manage to get glare on something, then it's pretty raw. The only problem is that glare likes to miss, and he dies to everything even remotely strong =<

You guys must have been horrible at training Victreebel. The one I have is win.

Pokemon that has failed to live up to expectations: Raticate (I would say Bibarel but I didn't expect anything)

No, they don't fail for in-game battles.

However, the Dewgong and Altaria I trained to level 60-ish are both horrible. Not EV'd either.

I personally think my Pokemon Rock ... with two small exceptions;

Garchomp Lvl. 100
Blastoise Lvl. 100
Dragonite Lvl. 93
Dusknoir Lvl. 77
Typhlosion Lvl. 70
Venusaur Lvl. 63


Blastoise is not as powerful as you think ... It says on his description he's capable of taking hits, but most attacks own him ... even fire ones. And he usually can't 1 hit K.O a level 50 ... but he is great against fire, rock and ground Pokemon. :3

Venusaur is ... alright. I like that he's also poison, so that deals some good damage ... but he is also a little bit weaker then I thought he would be.

Other then that, I love my team.

Well that usually depends on natures. I have a Blastoise and he's really good. As for the rest well of course they're good they're all OU (except for Typhlosion and venusaur.) In fact, Garchomp's uber =/

Oh, right, I forgot about natures. That's probably why.
Lul, Garchomp may be an uber, but he's still my luff.
I think my Dragonite is better then Garchomp though ... :|
Humm. Anyways, I trained them up to what they are now, so I really want them to give back what I gave to them.

Eh, I had given up on my Weepinbell before the Radio Tower. Besides, I wasn't getting a Leaf Stone any time soon and I didn't want to move on to the Elite Four with a Pokemon that wasn't fully evolved.

One decent electric type could destroy your whole team.

You can win a Leaf Stone in the Pokeathlon Dome on Tuesday, Thursday, or Saturday. ^^;

My Noctowl kept on getting KO'd on my HeartGold game. So after a while I put it in the box and gave my Golbat Fly. Problem solved. Lol. Made it even better when Golbat evolved.

Talking about the team I used to get through the game, not for competitive purposes rofl. I think the only electric Poke that I had to deal with was Red's Pikachu? Scarf Ho-oh was fast enough to pull an EQ on him and despite being 31 levels lower, Chu's defence is so bad it still rocked him.

My pidgeot fails for no apparent reason sometimes. I swear, more than half the time it misses with fly, a 90% accuracy move. Also, it seems to take pity on grass types, as it never OHKO's, despite serious level advantages, and a STABed powerful move. And it never, ever, for any reason dodges status affecting moves. Seriously, confuse ray, hypnosis or spore has never missed my pidgeot. I love it, but its so infuriating.

Also my Dragonair got pwned by an electrode 4 levels lower than it. It kept spamming charge beam, and it's special attack rose every single time it used the move. I, however was unable to hit with dragon rush, it missed. 5 times. While electrodes special attack went up. 5 times. In the end, I was pwned by several not very effective attacks. FML.

I think the weakest link I have is my Skuntank (this applies to my DP game) I like him in the sense that he's good for wracking up toxic damage with the combination of Smokescreen.. but thats about all he's really good for, and if Toxic doesn't take hold, I'm kinda at a loss. He doesn't have too much power, doesn't take too much punishment. I'm already planning to replace him with a Koffing as soon as I can get my hands on one.

My Croconaw died with Whitney's Miltank's Rollout (2nd time)
But Flaaffy thought Miltank looks disgusting and 1HKO'ed Miltank with Headbutt (yeah, I wanted to teach my Flaaffy something...)

Once I read a guide about Skuntank in competitive play; the line I remember the most is "Explode (Explosion) when you are done."
On a personal note, I think he's not too bad, he was one of the first few Pokemon that I've used on my first DP playthrough, and I liked it, because it could learn Flamethrower (hahaha).

Whitney's Miltank always have 100% Attract conditions.

Onto the Pidgeot bashing, I decided to use Pidgeot on my first HG playthrough, and it wasn't able to take any hits, even from Pokemon several levels lower than it. Most notable contribution that it did was to kill a 33% HP Lance's Dragonite when I revived him wrongly..

My first HG playthrough was fail. Pidgeot failed, Kingdra (which had a -Def nature) failed as it couldn't tank attacks. I was surprised that I needed almost as much healing items as my bug challenge used.

Well when i started heartgold i figured i'd try out a different flyer considering ive used pidgey in like every game, so i tried zubat. the first 13 levels were HELL. His best attack in those levels was astonish. It couldn't even beat something 10 levels lower than it. Luckily at level 13 it learned bite so things got a bit easier, it still sucked though until it evolved in Golbat and then Crobat one level later, then it kicked ass.

I still don't understand why Pidgeot sucks? Are we playing the same game here? Pidgeot works wonders for me, what moves are you using for it?
