in game team help

[DavidZ2844]

So I planned my team out for my second playthrough, but i'm stuck on deciding between a few. Here's what I'm thinking:

Serperior:
Leaf blade
Coil
Leech seed
Leaf storm

Archeops:
Rock slide
Fly
Sandstorm
Acrobatics

Hydreigon:
Dragon pulse
Dark pulse
Work up
Filler

Mienshao:
Drain punch
Fake out
Hi jump kick
Aura sphere

Jellicent or Seismitoad:
Hex or Earthquake
Surf or Surf
toxic or rain dance
ice beam or waterfall

Darmanitan or Chandelure:
fire punch or flamethrower
belly drum or toxic
earthquake or hex
flare blitz or shadow ball

So I'm stuck between jellicent and darmanitan for the last two or seismitoad and chandelure for the last two.

I would recommend Chandelure and Seismitoad.

Chandelure would be a safer option than Darmanitan. Darmanitan's low defenses and high risk moves make it somewhat prone to being defeated early. Chandelure has the raw power to stay on par with Darmanitan, while being more resilient stat-wise and avoiding risky moves.

Seismitoad is probably a better option than Jellicent because Jellicent is focused on special defense and focused resistance, while Seismitoad is more well-rounded and reliable. Seismitoad has good defenses and a lot of hp. Combined with the fact that his only weakness is Grass, he is a very tough pokemon to take down.

i agree with dragon's choice with seismitoad/chandelure. It will have better typing and covers some weaknesses but, I then looked at the rest of the team and was shocked that it is a great team and terrible movesets. No, offense but their moves can and should be more thought out with more variety. Serperior can be walled easily. Archeops has no reason having sandtorm your team obviously will not benefit from it. Mienshao is useless to any ghost and is 1typed on all of its moves. Seismitoad could use drain punch and toxic better than Chandelure, giving him 2 water type moves is bad waterfall is good enough. Chandelure should be more offensive than status inflicting bc it is frail too. You do know that dark pulse is an egg move and can only be obtained by transfering either a serviper or ekans/arbok who learned dark pulse by tm. Hydreigon can learn surf and use it with much more effectiveness than Seismitoad even with stab. Here's what i think you should team them and they are easy to teach.

Serperior

Aerial Ace
Swords Dance
Leaf Blade
Leech Seed


Archeops

Rock Slide/Stone Edge
Acrobatics
U-Turn
Bulldoze/Earthquake


Hydreigon

Dragon Pulse
Surf
Fire Blast
Tri-Attack


Mienshao

Drain Punch/Jump Kick/Hi Jump Kick
U-Turn/Fake Out
Rock Slide/Stone Edge
Acrobatics/Aerial Ace
It depends on how accurate you want to be.


Seismitoad

Bulldoze/Earthquake
Drain Punch
Toxic
Waterfall


Chandelure

Flamethrower
Shadow Ball
Energy Ball
Psychic


just some suggestions and remember its ingame so these can take out multiple incase ur main user faints u can have a backup or 2 for almost everything.

Thanks for the suggestions guys! I was actually thinking of keeping my simipour, will seismitoad be better? I have actually already bred the deino with dark pulse from an ekans, so I think replacing tri-attack would be good.

 

[Tyranitar042]

definately replacing tri-attack wih dark pulse is great but if you didnt have access to breeding dark pulse tri-attack would be the next best thing. in my OP. I still think Seismitoad would be better bc it can handle electric types which you need to cover.

 

[DavidZ2844]

one problem we overlooked, seismitoad cant learn waterfall =/. no other physical water moves either, so maybe changing the set to special? but that means hydreigon will kinda have a wasted surf...
