Not electric types, they don't resist Ice Beam

The ones that resist Boltbeam are Magnezone and Lanturn, both of which resist Ice Beam and Thunderbolt (also Magnezone resists Psychic and Lanturn resists Surf)

When that happens to my Starmie, I predict an electric attack and switch out for electivire who goes on a rampage after that speed boost X.x Doing that with a ground type is risky because of HP becoming special..

Most bolt-beamers are water types and Electric beats water and resists Electric.

Electivire beats water types, absorbs electric, and kills electric with EQ.

Magnezone sucks, x4 Ground weakness isn't fun. And its hell slow

I was merely stating that total resistance to boltbeam is only lanturn and magnezone... I wasn't saying that other pokemon can't stop it dead

Lanturn has horrible stats. Magnezone is an option. But with such low speed, It can't afford to take a Magnet Rise.

Electivire is probably the best choice.

Blissey, perhaps? It can learn a variety of moves, plus Egg Bomb, Substitute, Softboiled, and Metronome are a classic moveset for it. No Minimize, though. That's not the way to show others you can take hits and fight.

Umm we've discussed Blissey already, and decided against it... and what is up with that moveset, the only decent move you mentioned is Softboiled

Look, Nameless, we don't appreciate people coming in and tearing down the team-dispite wheter or not its true. If that is the case with Aerodactyl, then post a solution. Otherwise, it seems that you are a hotshot know-it-all, able to critisize teams,with no actual solution. And We ad enough of those already.

What he said. Anyways, choose your words carefully. You don't want to have to try and prove your point and be humbled without expecting it.

Whoa I just pointed out a weakness a team had, and im just saying Electivire will also be obliterated by Aerodactyl's Earthquake :D

But for the solution, a Jolteon will be able to outspeed Aerodactyl, and knock it down to 1 HP, then its all good because your Jolteon will be able to survive with a Focus Sash as well

For another solution, your team consists of many slow Pokemon, try adding in a very speedy Pokemon, an I'm sure that will help

Then, I apoligise if i sounded rude :D

Thank you for the suggestions. They honestly help. Look a couple of pages back. You wil see some true jerkarses thinking they know everything. I gotta be defensive, even if you were truly trying to help, unless those jerks will think that they can post non helpful info.

I agree with Nameless-Electrivire won't help this particular team. I still say Weavile. or maybe Gyarados.

I still think a bolt-beamer resistance should be there.

But not necessarily electivire.

Um has everyone forgot,we have no HEracross we agreed to replace it with Garchomp. We noticed the Aerodactyl weakness, I think we would be smart enough to run Milotic against Aerodactyl first. And then someone else if Aerodactyl happened to have a Focus Sash. I agree with you yes, it could damage our team.

Gyarados = Defeated by a Bolt-Beamer due to 4x weakness to Electric

Weavile = Outsped by the mean Aerodactyl

Also, if you have noticed, Choice Scarf Lucario has been discovered, it does ulimate sweeping to teams without Wall support. The only thing close to a physical wall here is well.. Metagross.

Suggestions to start with :

Steelix = Disables Focush Sash effects without Rapid Spin support due to Stealth Rock, resists the Bolt-Beamers Thunderbolt attacks, and if EV Trained 252 on Sp. Defense, It will be able to take a few Ice Beams until it can Stealth Rock-Roar.

Skarmory = Takes almost any Physical hit (not like Steelix, but it IS invunerable to Earthquake, a move that nearly all sweepers carry around), Spikes dont work on Aerodactyl, so Focus Sash support, and Bolt-Beamers will still haunt you

Gliscor = Something perfect to send out against an enemy Aerodactyl due to its type combinations. Sadly, Bolt-Beamers eat this thing up with a single Ice Beam.

Magnezone = Good Bolt-Beam resist, can be worthy if used correctly.
Example :
Foe Bolt-Beamer comes out!
Metagross is sent out!
You return Metagross for Magnezone!
Bolt-Beamer uses Thunderbolt!
Does small damage to Magnezone!
Foe swaps for Salamence/Garchomp etc.
You use Magnet Rise!
Congrats! You set up Magnet Rise successfully! :)
This Pokemon is very good to use when an enemy Skarmory threatens your team.

Dusknoir = Physical sweeper disabler! Will-o-Wisp cripples almost every single Physical sweeper there is! (Aerodactyl mainly) And with the good moves like Ice Punch, Brick Break, and Earthquake, it could be good :)

Lucario (Choice Scarfed) = This Pokemon is a COMPLETE monster with Choice Scarf if given the correct moveset. I had this dude sweep my entire team at one time..

Ah, when I said Gya, mine was ripping teams apart with Dragon Dance & Earthquake. I beat a Starmie like that. But just cause it works for me, doesn't mean it can work for others.

Garchomp (even though he was still slightly disouted) added the speed as there is no Heracross,I'm just making sure everyones got that.

I think Lucarios the only suggestion right now as we have enough walls unless you have someone in mind to replace.

If your going to add Garchomp, there are times when Aerodactyl can strike you with an Ice Fang >.>

This team has a thing for Pokemon being really slow, I mentioned that this team needs a speedy Pokemon, or its the END! :D
