[Impo]

you have a team of pseudo-legends. of course your team is good in-game.

 

[BlueHighwind]

I know that, but I am pretty sure it can be improved somehow.

How about EV training them?

Well, first of all....crap, mini-modding is banned :P

You have two routes to go down here:

1. Learn about EVs, IVs etc. and build a brilliant team, I advise using This Site or some of pc's own guides to learn about competitive battling (the words "some" "of" and "pc's own guides" each have a different link, start with the last one and work backwards...sorry). Then build a better team. Obviously, unless you're battling in Ubers, that will lose your Salamence and Garchomp.

2. Get advice off people in the In-Game Team Help section to improve your in-game team. There will be a variety of responses listing competely different options, so you'll have to work with the one which suits your battling style (hint: most people, myself included, are extremely aggressive. Your team suits that stereotype too :P)


I will give you a couple of tips for your team now though....
a) Scrap Hyper Beam on Dragonite, it really screws you over.
b) Yes, Grass Knot is possible. But with a Choice Band, replace it for a physical move.
c) Rhyperior doesn't need Scary Face, as it can just take the hit and smash things down. It doesn't really need Protect either, but it's useful. Rock Wrecker is like Hyper Beam, sadly. Try Stone Edge / Earthquake / Megahorn / Protect.

Moving to In-Game forum~

This could be difficult really. Id be running Earthquake on 4 of your 6 pokemon, those being Garchomp, Salamence, Rhyperior and Tyranitar since it would be your basic STAB move for 3 of those 4.

On another note, what natures are your pokemon. If their natures dont suit their stats at all, I would suggest breeding for better natures, but also breeding Earthquake into them from the word go, since there is only the 1 EQ TM.

First off, Garchomp, Dragonite, and Salamence, are all 4x weak to Ice. I know Ice-Types are rare in-game, but such a huge weakness could possibly screw you over in places. The Ice Gym in particular could be a bit difficult for you. I suggest getting rid of two of them and replacing them with other types.

Fire, Water, and Electric-types are my recommendations.

 

[BlueHighwind]

'Already beat champion...........3 times.'
Anyway.....i was thinking about taking out Rhyperior and replacing her with Flygon or Aggron.....Aggron is probaly the better choice.....

 

[Fever]

In all honesty, I think the only pokemon on your team that I would actually keep is Tyranitar.
Dragons are cool, don't get me wrong. They just seem, idk, 1 dimensional. It seems like every dragon type you come across is running the same moveset, with a 1 move variation depending on a couple of different factors.

I would suggest going for a bit more diversity with your team. Adding in some different types. Your base 3 types are a good way to start.

As for replacing Rhyperior with either Flygon or Aggron.
Flygons EQ would destroy Aggron regardless of how good its physical defense is.
Aggron has 4x weakness to ground, plus EQ for Flygon gets STAB at the same time.
Flygon has much more balanced stats and has a really good movepool to choose from.
Not to mention Aggron is ridiculously slow. Basically anything that can learn EQ or Close Combat even will be attacking first and either OHKO-ing you, or going very close to it.

Anyway, like Jab said above, some type changes and variation would be beneficial.

But Tyranitar is Rock/Dark, so EQ would not be a STAB. Not even Salamence because it's Dragon/Flying.

This has been mentioned before, the team's overall weakness ic Ice. Go for non-pseudo legendaries. Find something that can cover up for the Ice Weakness. Something Fire-type.

Thats my mistake. I've always had it in my head that Tyranitar is Ground/Dark for some reason.

Just wondering... what game are you playing and did you trade for some of those pokes?
Dragon types are OK, I would have maybe 2 of them at the most, but they're secondary types would be different.
Get rid of two of those dragon types, unless you really want more than one. If so, keep Garchomp and get rid of either Salamence or Dragonite. As for good replacements, a fire type would be good, like Arcanine, Magmortar, Infernape, or pretty much any other fire type except Magcargo and Camerupt, but even those would be decent. Then for another replacement there is always the water type. Poliwrath, Vaporeon, Milotic, Gyarados, once again just about any water type is good, besides a few that should be fairly obvious.

Then you have two rock types, which is OK, but if you want more type diversity scrap one of them and put in a fighting, Electric, or Grass type. For fighting, only do this if you don't have Infernape or Poliwrath from my other suggestions. Breloom is good, and also covers grass type. Lucario is also OK, Machamp, Gallade, and Toxicroak are also pretty good. As with all the others, most fighting types are decent enough. Electric is a little bit harder. Electivire is a good choice, Luxray, Raichu, Ampharos are also decent. frankly I can't think of any other electric types that are all that worth mentioning. Now, For Grass, Breloom again would be decent, as would Roserade, Torterra, Sceptile, among many others. Just stay away from things like Sunflora, Meganium (which could be OK, just not with the Battle style you seem to like),

 

[BlueHighwind]

I'm Playing Platinum, and I have SoulSilvertoo, trading stuff using my sis's DS.

How Would these Pokemon Be?

-Garchomp
-Salamence
-Machamp
-Luxray
-Lapras
-Tangrowth?

I also have Sapphire, and since I beat the game, I'm doing multiplayer, so I'm importing Pokemon from Sapphire

 

[Weavile05]

yep that's Ok, I would reccomend Raichu or Electiver over Luxray but Luxray is still a pretty good option.

I also don't reccomend Tangrowth unless your prepared to use a more defensive moveset.

 

[BlueHighwind]

Scrap Tangrowth.....Sceptile.

 

[Gymnotide]

Surely, you can find a better replacement for Luxray?
I don't really want to say any more about this team.
