Sorry, didn't see it O_o. Does Overheat lower sp.def or sp.att?

I believe it lowers Sp. Atk. I'll have to check though.

Edit: It is Sp. Atk.

Your Magmortar is all wrong. I dont like using Sunny Day Solar Beam for Mamgortar. Overheat is no good because of the stat reduction. Here is his moveset

-Focus Blast
-Thunder Bolt
-Flamethrower
-WoW

Focus Blast for those pesky T-tar, Thunder Bolt for water weakness, Flamethrower for STAB, and WoW to cut attack and cause damage every turn. Every thing else is pretty good, but Blissey really wants Seismic Toss.

Then remove it. Teach Flamethrower or Lava Plume.

Ah. Personally I think I'll go with:
Flamethrower
thunderbolt
Sunny Day and
Focus Blast for Magmortar unless I get any other suggestions.


Not blissey, were talking about Magmortar.

Sunny Day is slightly pointless. If you're just going to use it for Flamethrower, then don't use it at all. After all, it isn't only your moves that you could be boosting.

Thats true. I still need a fourth move, because i don't really want to use Will-o-Wisp with my Magmortar.

i like will-o-wisp basically for the attack drop. The losing HP every turn is just an added bonus. Sunny Day is pointless, because if the enemy sends out a ground type and kills Magmortar with EQ, and you need to send out your water type to kill it, if Sunny Day is still in effect, its water attacks will suffer.

Ah, I see your point. You've convinced me to use Will-o-wisp.Haha. Well now I need to find out what to take off so I can slap Seismic toss in there for Blissey.

Either Stealth Rock or Ice beam can get replaced. Sry, i have never use Blissey so i cant help you there. But you dont have to have Seismic Toss, but its pretty useful.

Blah I'll guess I'll just pass on Seismic toss, because I defintely want Stealth rock on my team and Ice Beam to knock out those annoying Garchomps.

First off, you don't need Electivire and Magmortar on the same team. You only need one SkarmBliss counter you know.

Oh, and, be sure to include the EVs next time if you can.

Mystic Water sucks, and STalking is stupid IMO.

Gallade
@ Life Orb
~Jolly nature
Leaf Blade
Psycho Cut
Brick Break / Close Combat
Earthquake

Forgeting a Fighting-type move on Gallade is like forgeting to give Raikou Thunderbolt.

Dusknoir
@ Leftovers
~Impish nature
Focus Punch
Substitute
Pain Split
Shadow Claw

Meh, fit Will-O-Wisp in there.

Electivire
@ Life Orb
~Naughty Nature
Brick Break / Cross Chop
Earthquake
Ice Punch
Thunderbolt

Magmortar
@ ???
Modest nature
thunderbolt
Overheat
SolarBeam
Sunny Day

Magmortar doesn't belong here.

Seismic Toss can only be taught via FireRed/LeafGreen and Emerald. I still don't like the idea of Will-o-wisp. Flamethrower has a 10% chance of a burn, and if you decide to go with Lava Plume, that has a 30% chance of a burn. Teach something else like Psychic.

Since when has Magmortar countered Blissey? Blissey can easily shrug of a Focus Blast (which isn't very accurate to begin with) from Magmortar, cripple its speed with Thunder Wave and start Seismic Tossing away. Lord Mike, it's been told to you dozens of times before you left, but it doesn't seem to have gone through to you so I'll say it again: stop spreading false information. Seriously, it'll only confuse less experienced players. It might sound harsh, but learn how to play before you rate other people's teams. =\

As for the team itself, I would rate it, but I don't have much time left and I don't want to rush the rate so I'll do that some other time.

Blissey needs some kind of attack, not just Stealth Rock. I wouldnt use Blissey to counter Garchomp because i am sure a STAB Life Orb EQ from Garchomp would probably kill Blissey in one Hit, so dont use Ice Beam. Just Use Seismic Toss. Here is a good moveset

Stealth Rock/Thunder Wave
Aromatherapy
Seismic Toss
Softboiled

If you are going to suggest Psychic, then dont. It has way to many resistances, and what poison or fighting fighting type is Magmortar going to be facing any time soon? Bug types are already covered by Flamethrower. There is nothing wrong with WoW, and next time you have a reason for not liking something, could you give a better argument than, "well...i dont like it".

I would add Seismic Toss on there but I have neither leaf green/fire red or emerald. So theres no way to get it onto the Blissey.
