Mono Flying Team

[Drowning Faith]

I am currently building one up on Leaf Green and this time I wanted a real good one even if I gotta breed. I dont have a link cable so I can only use one Arial Ace and the pokemon offered in LG. These are the pokemon I currently have:

Fearow
Farfetch`d
Dodrio
Jumpluff
Yanma
Aerodactyl.

I didnt say the movesets since I am still leveling them up and they dont have ones worth posting. Also if you think I should use other pokemon please say! Thanks =)

 

[DarkPegasus]

You should use Pidgeot instead of Fearow or Farfetch`d.

 

[Drowning Faith]

Ok, thankyou! I think I will have Pidgeot instead of Fearow! Anyone got any other tips for me. I really would like the natures and items and remember I dont have a link cable so I can only get what you get on the game.

 

[Doomhanger]

Dodrio and fearow do pretty much the same thing, so use the better one, dodrio. It will help if u told us the planned movesets as well. Dont bother with yanma, because it has a cruddy moveset, go for something along the lines of gyarados, xatu or charizard, something that is a good special attacker.

Or u can even get a ninjask

Ninjask@leftovers
-Baton Pass
-Protect
-Substitue
-Swords Dace

This boosts your team's attack and speed, pretty useful.

 

[Drowning Faith]

Ooh, cool! I would use that 'cept as I said I cant trade =-=;; I am really bad at movesets but I will give you the planned ones....

Pidgeot
@ ??
Fly/Arial Ace
Feather Dance
Quick Attack
Whirlwind

Dodrio
@ ??
Drill Peck
Tri-Attack
Agility
???

Jumpluff
@ ???
Sunny Day
Solar Beam

????(maybe attract?)

Xatu
@ ???
Psychic
Wish
Reflect
Light Screen

Aerodactyl
@ ???
Ancient Power
Double Edge

Or u can even get a ninjask

In Leaf Green? He said that he hasn't got a link cable and Ninjask is only obtainable in R/S/E.

Maybe give a try to Charizard(if Charmander was your starter), Gyarados and even Crobat.

Gyarados@Leftovers
Dragon Dance
Earthquake
HP(Hidden Power) Flying
Taunt

Crobat@Choice Band
Poison Fang/Sludge Bomb
Shadow Ball
Steel Wing
Aerial Ace(but if you only have one, then give it to Pidgeot instead)/HP Fighting/Ground

And a few suggestions for your other pokemon you currently have:

Pidgeot@Choice Band
Aerial Ace
Double Edge/Return
Quick Attack
Steel Wing/HP Ground/Fighting

Farfetch'd@Leftovers
Swords Dance
Agility
Slash/Attract
Baton Pass

Dodrio@Choice Band
Drill Peck
Return
Quick Attack
HP Ground/Fighting

Jumpluff@Leftovers

Annoyer moveset: Encore, Substitute, Sleep Powder, Leech Seed
Attacking moveset: Sleep Powder, HP Flying, Swords Dance, Leech Seed

Yanma... It's not the best pokemon, but if you want to use it, give it Leftovers and be sure that it has Compoundeyes, because the following moveset only works if the accuracy of the moves get boosted:
Hypnosis
Supersonic
Signal Beam
HP Flying

Aerodactyl... probably the best pokemon from your team... Give it Choice Band and be sure that it has Rock Head and give it the following moveset:
HP Flying
Rock Slide/Ancient Power
Earthquake
Double Edge

It will be a bit hard to get all those Hidden Powers to be the right type and with a good damage, but if you don't have more than 1 Aerial Ace TMs then you should try to get the right ones.

Well, hope this helps and good luck!

 

[Drowning Faith]

Oh thanks heaps! That would be really helpful. Hmm... how do I find out the HP?? Is there a simple way?

 

[Squarewalker]

HP (Hidden Power) depends on the IVs(the individuals using it). It might be hard to get them and you won't know for sure what kind of HP has your pokemon got. In R/S/E is easy to find out but in Leaf Green you have to observe which pokemon is weak to it and which is resistant. Though any physical HPs would be better than any special ones. I suggest you to search on the net, there are some sites that can help you find out how to get the right Hidden Powers and it won't be that simple.

 

[Drowning Faith]

awww *cries* T-T too hard... I know on R/S/E you just save the game infront of Kecleon and then get the pokes to attack it... **** this really will be hard!

 

[Squarewalker]

Yes, because it's totally random and only depends on luck and on the Individual Values what type will the Hidden Power be and with how much attack power. The attack power usually varies from 30 to 70 and if you can get at least 55, then it will be quite good. So if you want it to be a certain type... you must be really lucky to get the right one and not with a low attack power.

 

[c_dog]

Fearow
Farfetch`d
Dodrio
Jumpluff
Yanma
Aerodactyl.

too many normal types, and yanma is no good. dodrio, jumpluff, and aerodactyl are the only pokes who i like, with aerodactyl being your best poke.

i'd use:
gyarados<--really not a flying type but since it's counted as one, why not?
charizard<--not a particulary good poke or anything but i like. you need a special sweepert anyway and he can be a good one.
dodrio<--best normal flying type
jumpluff<--sleep powder user and can avoid leech seed
aerodactyl<--your best poke
skarm<--why not? you can use a tank

crobat can probably go somewhere.... you don't have enough special sweeperts so you're in trouble with you run into a physical tank like other skarms(charizard's your only counter).

gyarados@lum
-dragon dance
-taunt
-earthquake
-hp flying/aerial ace

charizard@salac
-flamethrower
-hp grass
-dragon claw
-endure/sub

dodrio@salac
-sub
-drill peck
-flail <--sub 4 times to set up flail, sword dance when you get the chance
-swords dance

jumpluff@leftover
-sleep powder/leech seed
-sub
-swords dance
-hp flying

aerodactyl@CB
-hp flying
-earthquake
-rock slide
-double edge?

skarmory@lefties
-drill peck
-spike
-roar
-rest

yeah, obviously not enough special sweeperts... you can also use a special tank yourself.... consider dragonite as a special/combo sweepert and salamence and flygon as they have better stats. there's also the legendary birds.......

 

[Doomhanger]

Dodrio@Salac berry

-Endure
-Flail
-Agility/Rest
-Drill Peck

Oh, an sorry for the ninjask thing, didnt realise u weren;t playing netbattle

 

[husk1442]

more like:

Dodrio@ Liechi
~Agility
~Endure
~Flail
~HP: Fighting/Rock/Ground/Ghost



BTW I'd add flygon (if you want to count it) for its rock resist and electric immunity and STABb'ed Earthquake

 

[Doomhanger]

Good call, i just thought Dodrio was incomplete without drill peck, a good solid STABed attack.

 

[husk1442]

yea thats true but, flail is also STABed

rock and steel are resistant to fail so I figured you'd want to cover that more

if you go with HP: Fight as I suggest you do, beware of ghost types

 

[Arcanine Fan 101]

it wouldnt be a good idea to use all flying types because they faint too easy to a lot of attacks

 

[Mullet]

too bad anything with bolt rapes this team. Anyway Swellow>Pidgeot.

Swellow@Salac Berry
EVs:252 Attack, 252 Speed, 6 HP
Nature:Adamant/Jolly
Sub
Reversal
Return
Aerial Ace/HP [Flying]/HP [Ground] (for Electric types)

Sexy Swellow, like my avatar lol!:P

 

[Drowning Faith]

I'm doing it as a challange and as a fun team ~-~;; Oh and can you get Skarmoury is LG? I thought you could only get it in FR... hmm. Well I know I'll use Dodrio, JUmpluff and Aerodactyl. Pokemon I cant use though...

Charizard, I started off with Bulbasaur and do not wanna reset the game.
and all the others not in LG. So I cant use Flygon.... read lol =P I really would like to use Xatu and yeah... oh and for the others is there any other m/sets with-our the HP flying...

 

[Mullet]

Aerial Ace>Hidden Power ingame, because it's easier to obtain.

 

[Drowning Faith]

Yeah I know but as I have said many times I dont have a link cable so I cant get other TM's...
