Hhm, how about double-powder, more useful with sleep clauses:

Tangrowth @ Leftovers
Trait: Leaf Guard
EV: 144 HP / 252 Def / 112 SpAtt
Nature: Bold
Sleep Powder/Stun Spore
Stun Spore/Knock Off
Leech Seed
Giga Drain/Grass Knot/Leaf Storm

Knock Off is always good for support, gets rid of enemy Leftovers while you slurp away at their health with Leech Seed

As I have been told before, and I was against it, but in truth physical Tangrowth is more effective

Tangrowth-Leftovers
252 HP, 252 Defense, 4 Attack
Leaf Guard/Chlorophyll
Power Whip
Leech Seed
Stun Spore
Knock Off/Sleep Powder

I guess so, there's only 10 base points difference between his SpAtt and Att (100 base Att vs 110 base SpAtt), and Power Whip (base 120 physical) is always nice to use. However more water types have high Def EV (Swampert, Milotic etc) so you're more likely to need a special Grass move IMO

No its not more effective, Life Orb'd Fire Blast/Thunder/Bolt Ohko Skarm/ Steelix etc, whilst the punches do not, thus allowing it to whirlwind/roar you away after youve Dragon Danced up.

Power Whip is preferred due to certain rock pokemon such as Tyranitar gain 50% sp.def boost from sandstream, and special grass moves fail to OHKO it.

Yeah, that makes more sense. SpDef boost from Sand Stream isn't always known by everyone.

Wow, a status inflicter seems nice, and I don't know if this is a dumb idea or not, but what about Lanturn? I've beaten many a person in RSE with Twave/Confuse Ray.

I would really love a grass type on this team, namely Vileplume. But Tangrowth is a great choice. Very solid, and a host of status inflicting moves.

Yeah, it would be pretty good to get some experience with a grass type not named Bellossom. xd Tangrowth sounds like a nice choice then.

I always like to think that its just more black stuff under them, but what the black stuff IS is still a mystery to me. And Lets see, that would make it Dragonite Gengar Bronzong Blissey Donphan Tangrowth. That looks awesome.

Tangrowth is still the better choice for me. It's defences make up for it's lack of speed. Wait, lack of speed, as ussual we've come up with a fairly slow team :(

How about the Infernapes mentioned above? They have good natures and movesets, and their items rock out.

I'll say a few things wrong with that sentence. There is no such thing as "the species of pokemon has a good nature". All pokemon has a nature that goes good to it. Their items? All pokemon uses items, Infernape doesn't have particular items that only it uses. You probably worded it wrong.

Bt it does have a great movepool. And yes, we are considering Infernape, thanks for the suggestion. Any more?

I have no problem with that. We are constantly saying we need a fast pokemon, yet we drop the subject 5 post later. I say Weavile, everyone agrees, but then we switch it out right away. If we are using a fast poke, then we are using a fast poke. Lets not fall in that trap of second guessing ourselves.

Weavile is great, so shall we drop Bronzong, because i dont understand what Bronzong is gonna do for us, i mean we have Donphan Blissey, Tangrowth and thats more than enough defensive wise, so imo Bronzong is just taking up a place.

@ jb0000612 Mixed Infernape is better


[email protected] Orb
Naive Nature
evs: 24atk/232speed/252sp.atk
- Close Combat
- Flamethrower
- Nasty Plot/Thunderpunch/Stone Edge
- Grass Knot

To say this is good at taking out walls is an understatement

I did actually, and he would fit in perfectly if we didnt have Tangrowth.


So team wise it is


Tangrowth
Donphan
Blissey
Gengar
Weavile/Mixed Infernape
Scarf Dragonite/ Scarf Garchomp
