    Ok any help would be nice, and also my first time using Hippowdon so Im sorry if its a little bit butchered, looks ok to me, and also nickname help :P.

    Also I did all the spriting, and the Blastoise sprite is fuzzy because I actually was going for that effect.

    I think leading with Hippo is much better. Also, give it Roar over Fire Fang. Seriously, this thing takes hits like a champ, Roar is just great for a starter, plus, you get a free Stealth Rock against those pesky Ninjask leads. Though I think it needs 252 in Def for optimal success as a physical wall. Hmm.. try something like 252 HP / 216 Def / 40 SDef. Not sure, but I think it even survives Grass Knot from Infernape so you can 1HKO the guy right away.

    Team looks good.
     
    Well lately I've been meeting a lot of leads that look designed for getting rid of Hippowdon leads, and Boah still has Sandstream. I like leading with a hard hitter too. I'll play a little with both. And Roar looks good, going on.
     
    Maybe try and inflict status problems on your opponent like paralyze. Also, what's with the Sleep Talk with Heracross?
     
    No Special Defense on Hippowdon, or at least not that much. Hippo really needs a lot of defense.

    Actually looks pretty good now. You have to be REALLY careful with a few pokemon though, like Choice Specs Porygon Z.
     
    The mistake a lot of people make is leading with their Tyranitar, which is common quite frankly. :/
    You're just asking for Forretress/Bronzong/Swampert/Salamence/Weavile/Gyarados/bulky water/etc to set up on you


    It doesn't look like you changed anything at all, just created a new thread, but w/e
    PorygonZ wants Download as the ability and Hippo wants much more defense
     
    Articuno wants Roar over Reflect BTW. Killing stuff with rocks is quite fun.
     
    Ok got it, except for the Tyranitar lead stuff and Download, Adapatability hits 35% on a Blissey with tri Attack, and they stay in, its so weird, they;re like who would keep a Porygon-Z in against a Blissey as I kill it in 3 attacks. Seriously, always Softboiled on the second one. And the problem Im finding with my team truthfully is that its not very fast. I love Porygon-Z, but I think it might have to go for something faster.

    cough Azelf cough

    I would say Raikou but you have sandstorm so yeah. then again, you do have Weavile trouble, so maybe Azelf would only hurt you.

    Ignore the harmless looking pixie at your peril lol


    Dusknoir or Spiritomb are maybe what you should look into.
     
    Hmmm, Spiritomb for what though? He looks good, but I NEED a rapid spinner for Articuno, so Blastoise should probably stay.

    You may like to put in Tentacruel to help with your mixape problem aswell, it can also spin very well >> Blastoise maybe ?
     
    Mixape falls to Blastoise, Grass Knot only does about 50% and Surf OHKOs. And Tentacruel just pumps up my Azelf weak too.

    I doubt that. It gets 80 base power, nothing to sneeze at. If Vaporeon takes 80% from Grass Knot after Nasty Plot when it only has 60 base power on Vappy, something leads me to believe that number is incorrect. Vaporeon also has higher HP it should be noted, but lower special defense as well.

    As in, it'll do more than 50%.
     
    Hmm, thats plausible, but then I dont really have a mixed wall, just 2 special walls, and truthfully I love mixed walls. And Blastoise has reported (I've counted because this impresses me), taken down 6 MixApe leads. So yeah not so much of a problem. I dont want to get rid of Blastoise really either...
