  • Hippowdon @ Grip Claw
    Protect
    Fire Fang
    Sand Tomb
    Rest

    Aerodactyl @ Quick Claw
    Toxic
    Assurance
    Roar
    Thunder fang

    Slaking @ Leftovers
    Giga Attack
    Focus Punch
    Hyper Beam
    Slack Off

    Slowking @ Mystic Water
    Surf
    Blizzard
    Calm Mind
    Psychic

    Torterra @ Big Root
    Earthquake
    Leech Seed
    Wood Hammer
    Stone Edge

    Blaziken @ Scope Lens
    Blaze Kick
    Focus Energy
    Brave Bird
    Night Slash

    My original strategy was to throw out Hippowdon, and get Sandstorm started. Then switch him out with Aerodactyl and use toxic, then roar, and repeat until my whole opponent's team was poisoned. I would then start to pick them off one by one with the rest of my team. This hasn't been working for me though. I had an idea that Blizzard wasn't a good choice for Slowking... Suggestions?

  • We have some improvments to make. First, your whole plan is ruined because when the enemy's pokemon is roared back, it is not Badly poisoned anymore, just poisoned. Blizzard isnt that good unless you have hail going, so just use Ice Beam. 1/2 of your team is weak against water. Its ok to have 2 weak to the same thing, but three is pushing it. I wouldnt use that plan because it can be stopped easily, and it is very unreilable, and in the end, not even worth it.

    I would suggest taking out torterra since he has a x4 weakness to ice and almost every single team has a pokemon with ice beam and since torterras pretty slow not really helping you.

  • Thanks Bleach and Sunshine. I'll try to change that up a bit. It's somewhat hard for me to tell you natures, because my game is in Japanese @__@. For EVs, it's sort of hard to remember that part. There's no real way of finding out right?

  • AH, I hate to double post, but Bleach and Sunshine you didn't rate my Slaking. I know there are problems with it because it has too many Normal-type moves. I was thinking about adding Fling to it instead of Hyper beam.

    Also, would it be good if I switched out Aerodactyl for a Skarmory, and perhaps Tyranitar for the Hippowdon? I would love to hear your opinion on this.

    My opinion. Wow o_O

    You could do whatever. But I would keep Aerodactyl since it get a 1.5 Special Defense boost due to sandstorm. You could use Skarmory also as a Spiker with Stealth Rock. Also since it's unaffected by Sand Stream. You could have a team using Stealth Rock and Spikes and having 2 rock pokemon for the Special Defense boost due to Sand Stream.
