    Hello. Recently I've done many rounds at the Battle Tower, and I'm trying to figure out the best team. Now, I'm not big on EVs and IVs, when I actually play the game I play casually. But here's what I got. So far I think the Rhydon is sort of slowing me down. I tend to do double battles as this team fares better during them. Please note I am not big on trading and my source of TMs, items, that sorta thing is limited. I will accept advice to new movesets, but I am not sure If I can get my hands on the stuff to get it with. Please review, be as mean as you want!

    Gyarados @ Sea incense
    Flamethrower, Waterfall, Ice Fang, Earthquake
    HP: 163
    ATK: 140
    DEF: 89
    SP. ATK: 70
    SP. DEF: 127
    SPD: 86

    I send Gyarados out in the beginning. It usually lives the whole match. I send it out alongside Rhydon, but Rhydon usually dies in the process.

    Rhydon
    Surf, Strength, Thunder, Flamethrower
    HP: 167
    ATK: 141
    DEF: 136
    SP. ATK: 56
    SP. DEF: 49
    SPD: 57

    Ah, Rhydon. He tends to die out. I tend to meet a lot of water-pokemon trainers, and that's where his downfall is. And, his moveset does not really benefit his stats. He has just about all special attacks... while he excels in attack and does not so much in sp. atk.

    Crobat @ Razor Fang
    Fly, Sludge Bomb, Giga Drain, X-Scissor
    HP: 163
    ATK: 97
    DEF: 97
    SP. ATK: 89
    SP. DEF: 98
    SPD: 154

    I've been meaning to replace Fly but I haven't got my hands on a good move to replace it with. Sludge Bomb reigns as his STAB move, and can usually take out the water pokes that bring down Rhydon. But of course, I don't want Rhydon to go down. Giga Drain deals with weak water types.

    Spiritomb @ Mind Plate
    Nasty Plot, Torment, Psychic, Dark Pulse
    HP: 122
    ATK: 114
    DEF: 133
    SP. ATK: 96
    SP. DEF: 126
    SPD: 49

    Spiritomb is very useful when it comes to the types that the others can't handle. With Crobat's X-scissor, it can deal with psychic and dark types well but when it comes to Ghosts Spiritomb seals the deal. While Gyarados dishes out massive power, he thinks nasty thoughts and goes down hill with Dark Pulse.

    Review, thank you.
     
    I never had the chance, sorry.
    This topic is also sort of old.
    Talk about a month.
