    Move Pool

    Reflect
    Screech

    Working on items for Tyranitar and Golem.

    I have spent 3 days, 60 cups of coffee, hours of frustration (due to not being able to test it and my decision to quit smoking), 3 DS stylus's, and roughly 200k in-game on ultraballs JUST to get these three pokemon. This isn't something I've just thrown together I love Tyranitar and want to set up a team for him. Please tell me any flaws in my thinking so far if you will, and any changes you may have and/or suggestions you may have. I am new to online battling and pokemon nature/characteristics/ect. Be BRUTAL but don't be a jerk.

    Thank you for reading and I hope to see a reply soon.

    I'll move this over to the In-Game forum since this isn't really a competitive team.

    You're gonna want to change those natures up though. Tyranitar needs an attack boosting nature like Adamant or Jolly (Adamant is usually preferred.) Same with Golem since you're running an attacking set. Magneton seems kind of...jumbled around. Best to pick either an attacking or support set and go from there.

    Also it's easier for people to rate when you have a full team of six pokemon, so do try to add those in soon.
     
    as i said im just starting out i havnt even battled a real person yet lol my idea for golem was to take hits while trying to do as much damage as possible magneton i was liking timid for the speed boost to get my reflect out faster so i could switch to tyranitar and taunt and if it really came to it(say magneton was the only one left) lock on and use discharge because it can hit all pokemon in battle (as im sure you know) i've been searching through all my tm's for a support move for golem. i realise tyranitar has a crappy nature but as im still early on in the game i dont really have a good way of training pokemon yet without it taking a week to reach level 60 or spending 500k on potions revives and full restores


    ^ my thoughts are kind of scattered i do appreciate the feed back im trying not to use anything i think would be "uber" and im trying not to use my legendaries as i have all the dogs birds (but ho-oh) latias/latios whatever one is in SS and groudon and they just happen to be my strongest pokemon other than my dragonite


    i have an idea for dragonair >>; if thats even possible NFE as i hear aren't that great

    i have been catching lots of larvitar to try and get a good nature ( i dont really know how the natures work through evolution wether the pokemon keeps the nature or trades it)


    edit:
    also forgot my "IV"'s i think there called (atk def sp atk sp def and spd)


    edit:
    i just did some more research on bulbapedia and i think i might have an idea for another team not necisarily involving my tyranitar but ill live without him :P
