Oh, awesome, it's GSC! But this team needs a lot of work before its ready to face other GSC players.

Slowbro (M) @ Leftovers
- Amnesia
- Thunder Wave
- Psychic
- Surf

Slowbro is so much better than Slowking. Please replace it. Slowbro has much better Defense and that's what matters. Slowking has higher Special Defense, but that's pointless because Slowking will still die to the same number of Electric Attacks that Slowbro does.
Anyways, there's no point in using Icy Wind when you can permenantly lower your opponent's speed with Thunder Wave. Amnesia also blows. It's not RBY anymore so you might as well give it a more useful move like

Electabuzz (M) @ Leftovers
- Fire Punch
- Ice Punch
- Cross Chop
- Thunderbolt

Psychic is useless sicne Fighting and Poison types will take about the same damage from a STABed Thunderbolt as from Psychic. Cross Chop is better for Blissey and Snorlax, who would otherwise wall your Electabuzz and it can't do anything against them.

Arcanine (M) @ Leftovers
- Curse
- Extremespeed
- Flamethrower
- Hidden Power [Fighting]

Not much point in HP Electric. Water Pokemon like Starmie and Suicune can easily survive a couple of those hits and heal the damage with Recover or Rest. Replace with HP Fighting, otherwise you're helpless against things like Tyranitar and Rhydon. If you're going to use Extremespeed, at least use Curse in conjunction. Watch for Extremespeed's only 5 PP.


Golem (M) @ Leftovers
- Earthquake
- Explosion
- Rock Slide
- Curse

What? Why Berry Juice?!? Get rid of it for Leftovers. Return stinks on Golem since it gets no STAB from it. Rock Slide and Earthquake will always be stronger than Return. Replace with Explosion to go out with a bang. Sandstorm also sucks. You're basically hurting the rest of your team and its not like the opponent won't switch in a Skarmory to resist your Sandstorm or a Ground type to kill you off. Replace with Curse.

Donphan (M) @ Leftovers
- Hidden Power Rock/Rock Slide
- Earthquake
- Roar
- Rapid Spin

Why Horn Attack? What can that weak move do that Earthquake and Ancientpower can't do better? Get rid of it for Roar please. Oh, and speaking of Ancientpower - replace it. Hidden Power Rock and Rock Slide are better. You'll hardly ever get that boost and even if you do, Water and Ice attacks will still kill you just the same.

Dragonite (M) @ Leftovers
- Hidden Power Fighting
- Thunderbolt
- Surf
- Wing Attack

Good luck getting Dynamicpunch to hit. Go with Hidden Power Fighting. Thunderbolt for Water types, considering most of them have Ice attacks to hit you with. Finally, Surf for Ground/Rock types.

Guess what? You have a 3x Water weakness! Uh oh!
Get red of your Arcanine for a Snorlax since Arcanine isn't helping your team out at all. Besides, you need Snorlax's Sp. Defense to defend yourself from special sweepers.

I thought Draggy in GSC was good with Curse + Extremesspeed.

 

[Gold/Silver/Crystal]

Wrong, a Slowpoke from R/B/Y can learn Thunder Wave and then be traded to G/S/C. Since this is Netbattle, you can easily set the battle version to GSC with trades if you haven't done so. Oh, but noticed that I changed Slowking to SlowBRO. Also, what is Curse doing on a Pokemon with no physical moves? =\

I realize that Arcanine is you favorite Pokemon, but that's irrelevant. Sometimes, having your favorite Pokemon on a team actually makes it worse than if you had a Pokemon that can provide a more helpful role (like Snorlax's special walling). But since you're so insistent, I guess you can replace Golem for Snorlax.

[Kataphraktoi]

I didnt even notice it was a slowKING. I didnt know that poke was used even(i just saw the 'slow' and thought 'slowbro')

Why are you using icy wind? Its power is very low. The speed cut is not enough to slow them down below you, in all likelyhood. (IIRC slowking\bro is dang slow)
You also need a physical move when using curse, unless that is just for defensive purposes(?)

BTW your team still has overall gaps and weaknesses. A nice article on what you must counter in GSC is here on smogon.

Slowking (M) @ Leftovers
- Curse
- Icy Wind
- Psychic
- Surf

If you read aragorn's post again, you will see that he suggested dumping Slowking for Slowbro that CAN learn Thunder Wave, which is MUCH better than Icy Wind. Not to mention Curse on a Poke with no physical moves.

Electabuzz (M) @ Leftovers
- Fire Punch
- Ice Punch
- Cross Chop
- Thunderbolt

Arcanine (M) @ Leftovers
- Curse
- Extremespeed
- Flamethrower
- Hidden Power [Fighting]

If you insist on running Arcanine, then you need to overhaul the rest of your team.

Golem (M) @ Berry Juice
- Earthquake
- Explosion
- Rock Slide
- Curse

Not sure what the thinking is behind Berry Juice, but Golem needs Leftovers, especially if you are going to Curse. Leftovers >>>> Berry Juice

Donphan (M) @ Leftovers
- Ancientpower
- Earthquake
- Roar
- Rapid Spin

Dragonite (M) @ Leftovers
- Hidden Power [Fighting]
- Thunderbolt
- Ice Beam
- Wing Attack

twenty---------------five

 

[Gold/Silver/Crystal]

I'M. USING. TRUE. G/S/C. And yes, Curse is used for defensive purposes. New Team:
Slowking (M) @ Leftovers
- Curse
- Icy Wind
- Psychic
- Surf

Electabuzz (M) @ Leftovers
- Cross Chop
- Fire Punch
- Ice Punch
- Thunderbolt

Arcanine (M) @ Leftovers
- Curse
- Extremespeed
- Flamethrower
- Hidden Power [Fighting]

Weezing (M) @ Leftovers
- Explosion
- Haze
- Sludge Bomb
- Toxic

Donphan (M) @ Leftovers
- Ancientpower
- Earthquake
- Rapid Spin
- Roar

Dragonite (M) @ Leftovers
- Hidden Power [Fighting]
- Ice Beam
- Thunderbolt
- Wing Attack

 

[shanecdavis]

Curse sucks as a pure defensive move, as your Speed also drops. Use Withdraw instead.

 

[Gold/Silver/Crystal]

Uh, it can't learn it ._.

 

[shanecdavis]

Actually, it sure can. Slowbro learns it naturally at Lv36.

 

[Gold/Silver/Crystal]

That's SlowBRO you fudgeicle.

 

[shanecdavis]

First off, don't allow immaturity to invade this thread. I know it is Slowbro, which I suggested over Slowking in my original post, for the same reasons that aragorn suggested Slowbro earlier.

 

[aragornbird]

~*^*~~*^*~ ~*^*~ ~*^*~ ~*^*~~*^*~

lol, fudgecicle. Don't call people names especially when they're trying to help you, Armaldo Trainer.

Like we've been telling you, USE SLOWBRO.

You don't need Weezing since you already have Donphan as your physical wall and phazer. Besides, Weezing isn't as great as it will be in R/S since it's still weak against Ground attacks. Replace with Snorlax please (that's the third time I've had to say that).

BTW, everyone plays GSC(trades), if your planning on using that team on netbattle.
