Delcatty's ok but I'm not a fan of using Delcatty so I dont really know good moves for it.


Sceptile Lv38
Leaf Blade
Dragon Claw
Thunderpunch/Crunch
Aerial Ace

Meh... I still go with what I said before. Otherwise do what shane suggested and breed for a new one.


Camerupt Lv37
Earthquake
Flamethrower
Body Slam / Return
Toxic


Swalot Lv36
Sludge Bomb
Giga Drain
Shock Wave
Body Slam

Sludge Bomb is better than Sludge so either teach it the TM or wait till lvl 48 when it learns it.

Swellow Lv35
Facade
Rest
Sleep Talk

Aerial Ace

Firstly dont need two attacks of the same type especially when they do the same damage but one is better because it cant miss. The other three moves can be really powerful put together. I think it was something like Rest, Sleep Talk=Facade. And Facade's power will boost quite a lot as well as using Swellow's ability of Guts which will pump up its attack when on low health then followed by Rest + Sleep Talk.

o.k.....i have 6 badges
Well... there's your new team and I put in what I thought again.

Wow, he is giving you a lot of grief, isn't he Alex?

I realize its hard to suggest moves for some these Pokemon considering Delcatty downright sucks and Swalot ain't the brightest crayon in the box either. Try Weezing next time IMO.

Flamethrower, Body Slam, Earthquake, Rock Slide for Camerupt.

Delcatty sucks so replace it with Regice if you can. Your team needs more special involved.

Swellow is cool, but I'm not the biggest fan of STalking. It doesn't seem to cut it with its low Defenses. If it uses something other than Facade, then its basicly a goner. I like CBing Swellow better. Hit and kill right there. (BTW - Swellow CB set is Aerial Ace, Return, Quick Attack, and I think Steel Wing is the last slot).

Sceptile is...ok I guess. Use Alex's set. The only cool thing IMO about Sceptile is Leaf Blade, but that's just me.

Good Day

Meh, I dont really mind if she is or not. I'm just suggesting it doesnt really work if you keep updating teams that still need the necessary changes to make it better.

I never use Delcatty or Swalot so moves for them was a little bit hard for me to think of, but I do use Skitty sometimes. They arent great to have for battling.

You dont like Delcatty do you? XD Regice isnt that good IMO, Meh, she has no water types so maybe a Lapras actually or some water type that is powerful and has high defences etc.

True.... but Swellow's abilities make it almost perfect for that moveset apart from the minor setback of defence...

Swalot and Delcatty are both really weak and lame pokemon even in NU metagame. So dont bother to use them. Swalot is ok in NU, actually.

3-1 now. And GT you need to accept the fact that there ARE much better Pokemon than Delcatty or Swalot. Like I said, Weezing has adequate Attack and Special Attack, and great Defense. Good physical tank for game IMO.

Meh, even Swalot is cr*p too. Better off using Weezing or Arbok or something useful, (excluding ubers).

Why excluding ubers? They nothing to be afraid of. Weezing is a good replacement for Swalot, and for delcatty..... well anything is a good replacement for delcatty but i'd recommend a mence if you can get one or hera. both good sweepers and would be a great addition to your team.

Listen to these people they know what they're talking about.
And as for swalot beating every gym for you, listen people have beat the game using on wurmples. All you have to do is raise the pokemon until it gets to a high enough level and they will be able to beat the game.

For those people that still use sucky Pokemon (i.e. Delcatty and Swalot!!!), get better Pokemon. Yeah, GT, we already frikin believe you can beat the stupid gyms with Swalot. And it doesn't matter about YOUR gender because Delcatty still stinks. The game's AI is set for 5 years olds if you didn't already know that either Gold Typhlosion. Get over it and pick better Pokemon.

Actually gold typhlosion, you can pick whatever Pokes you want. Just please don't try to convince anyone that they are good because they really aren't. If all you ever play is against the AI and Swalot is successful for you, that is fine. However, it is going to fail miserably if you ever intend to battle a living person that doesn't rely on arithmetical equations to determine their course of action.

Sigh. No, Delcatty IS NOT good. It is the worst fully evolved Poke in the game. Its stats are comparable to Elekid and Magby, which are first evolutions of two-stage Pokes. Its stats are lower than Beautifly, Butterfree, Dustox, and the other crappy fully evolved three-stage Pokes. There is no question here. It cannot hit anything and it cannot take hits either. Plus, being Normal-type it has no advantages against over any other type and is only immune to Ghost Pokes. It truly is the most pathetically weak evo in the game.

You claim that your Delcatty is good, but that is because it is Lv80, not because it is actually good. If a Lv80 piece of crap is battling against Lv40-50 Pokes controlled by the pathetic AI, that piece of crap should win. If that Lv80 Delcatty were to battle against another Lv80 Poke, it would lose and lose badly.

Again, if you want to use that worthless Poke then that is your choice. Just don't try to claim that it is good because it definitely is not. You win battles with it by cheating and battling against AI that is geared to allow a six-year to beat it, NOT because it is in any way strong.
