    Hey guys, I'm new here... *looks at herself* No avatar or anything. I'll have to fix that soon. ;) I stopped playing Pokemon for a long while, because 1. Nobody plays here and 2. I felt like I was the only person on the planet over the age of.. 13... that still played. Of course that can't possibly be true, right? :D

    This is a UU team I was *planning* on building before I quit for a while. First, note 2 things:

    1. I ONLY have Sapphire, and I ONLY have 1 GBA
    2. I started with Swampert, so I can't use any of the other starters unless I restart- which I don't want to, since I have the PokeRus. :)

    Grumpig
    @ Chesto?
    Nature: Bold (+Defense, -Attack)
    Ability: Thick Fat
    - Calm Mind
    - Psychic
    - Confuse Ray
    - Magic Coat/Rest

    One of my possible starters. Calm Mind up, perhaps use a Chesto Rest, then use Psychic as I please. If he IS my starter, I may use Magic Coat over Rest (or replace Confuse Ray with Rest) to fend off any immediate status-changers.

    Magneton
    @ ?
    Nature: Gentle (+Special Defense, -Speed)
    Ability: Magnet Pull
    - Reflect
    - Thunderbolt
    - Toxic
    - HP: Fire/Ice

    My secondary possible starter. Magneton is meant to take out spiking Skarmories and poison other possible starters. However, I may stick with Grumpig as my starter because going out with Magneton first is an alarm signal to any Skarmory owners out there.

    Crawdaunt
    @ Shell Bell
    Nature: Adamant (+Attack, -Special Attack) IF I don't use Surf.
    Ability: Hyper Cutter
    - Swords Dance
    - Brick Break
    - Ancientpower
    - Surf/Sludge Bomb

    I will NOT, not-not-not give up Crawdaunt. I must sound like a stubborn newbie, but Crawdaunt is a fun Physical sweeper to use and he makes me feel unique. :) I'm not sure if I should just go all out with the physical attacks or throw Sludge Bomb in there for a surprise.

    Cradily
    @ Leftovers
    Nature: Relaxed (+Defense, -Speed)
    Ability: Suction Cups
    - Recover
    - Barrier
    - Rock Slide
    - Giga Drain

    Woo! My favorite tank in the game. Giga Drain, Recover, and Leftovers all add constant HP while Rock Slide is the necessary offense. Barrier, I'm not sure of. His defense is already pretty high.

    Tentacruel
    @ ?
    Nature: Anything that raises speed..
    Ability: Clear Body
    - Surf
    - Ice Beam
    - Barrier
    - Sludge Bomb/Mirror Coat

    Now Tentacruel, I'm not so sure of. I want a "secondary" water pokemon to function with the typical Surf/Ice Beam routine, since Crawdaunt may not. I'm willing to replace him with something like Walrein, or even Wailord for a nice challenge. ;)

    My last slot, I'm not sure of. I'm lacking anything in the fire department, or Pokemon with attacks like Earthquake. Because of this, I was thinking of a Flygon with Earthquake for STAB and Fire Blast (his Sp. Att really isn't all that reliable for Flamethrower), or Altaria. I'm open to lots of other ideas too!

    Please, I'd like to keep Crawdaunt, Cradily and Magneton. The others I can part with more easily. :)

Of course that can't possibly be true, right?My parents thought the same thing, but I'm 15 and still a strong pokemaniac! :D

    Never worked with grumpig before, but chestorest is a good strategy with calm mind

    - Reflect
    - Thunderbolt
    - Toxic
    - HP: Fire/Ice/water

    Pretty good, you may want fire for other steel types, but if you're up against a fire, and you don't wanna switch, you MIGHT wanna try for hp water


    Crawdaunt
    @ Shell Bell
    Nature: Adamant (+Attack, -Special Attack) IF I don't use Surf.
    Ability: Hyper Cutter
    - Swords Dance
    - Brick Break
    - Ancientpower/sludge bomb
    - Surf/Sludge Bomb

    I will NOT, not-not-not give up Crawdaunt. I must sound like a stubborn newbie, but Crawdaunt is a fun Physical sweeper to use and he makes me feel unique. :) I'm not sure if I should just go all out with the physical attacks or throw Sludge Bomb in there for a surprise.
    Ancientpower isn't really that good, but a sludge bomb and surf is, also, perhaps replace ancientpower/sludge bomb or swords dance with crabhammer, it's a pretty good water attack to accent surf

    Cradily
    @ Leftovers
    Nature: Relaxed (+Defense, -Speed)
    Ability: Suction Cups
    - Recover
    - Barrier
    - Rock Slide
    - Giga Drain

    Great job, although, you might wanna look into replacing barrier with a secondary recovering move, like leech seed or ingrain, or posibly toxic, but as it is, it's great.

    Tentacruel

    Nice, not sure what else to say.

    My last slot, I'm not sure of. I'm lacking anything in the fire department, or Pokemon with attacks like Earthquake.

    I'd have to reccomend a dragon, preferably salamence, as flygon isn't really that great (and he's not dragon bug, like he looks like) <has a problem with the lousy-ness of bugs, but to each his own, I might also reccomend dusclops as a tank, or preferably, if you need a fire pokemon, ninetails, with will 0 wishp, combined with flash fire, it can be deadly.

    Please, I'd like to keep Crawdaunt, Cradily and Magneton. The others I can part with more easily. :)


    Dang 25 characters rule, bah, oh well, if it helps prevent spammers then I guess it's.... oh wait, it's been 25 character's already hasn't it? :P
     
    This is a good team for a newbie.Very good........
    There are a few problems but they are small ^_^....i will posted later but for now i think u should use rest instead of confuse ray on Grumpig + chesto berry
    get rid of Magnaton and put in Ninetales[modest]-wil-o-wisp, flamethrower, spite, sunny day/rest...or better yet use Dusclops[calm] - double team, rest, curse, mean look.......double team so u wouldn't get hit and rest to recover hp....mean look to keep them there and curse for the faint ^_^
