I haven't played much, mostly because I have been getting bored with the game, but with Platinum comming in (presumably)m a few months, I've decided to try & fashion a Platinum team. I have lost some knowledge of the game & don't have the time to research the changes & effects of em' (yet I have time to make this thread), so I pray that you'll be able to help.
My skills dropped so much, even Dark Azelf is beating me. That n00b. I used to always beet him, like when my Lucario OHKO'ed his Weezing (at full health). I mean, what a phailure. Please don't ban me. Please don't change the thread title.
I work with funtionallity, & don't like to be tied down by tier (other than uber, of course), but I won't be diluted. If it doesn't work, it doesn't work. Wigglytuff doesn't work, and just cause I love it, doesn't mean I won't use it. However, if it is outclassed, no need to suggest it, unless it will immediately hamper my performance (i.e, Infernape outclasses Blaze, but I may want Blaze for other reasons). If you suggest any changes, don't suggest legendaries (this may be primarily for Wifi). Certain pokes I may not want (like Mence), but feel free to suggest. I'd like people who are skilled in the usage of many pokes to help, not just a primary OU player who will refuse options on the bat because it won't work on paper (like some people on Serebii--I was just trolling, honestly, not a real member).
Without further ado, here is my team of win.
Flygon@Choice Band
Nature:Adamant
Outrage
Fire Punch
Earthquake
U-Turn
EV:252 Atk, 252 Spe, 6 HP
I love Flygon. My favorite Dragon type. I love his resistances, and the fact that I can play a little more reckless makes him an asset. All those resistances just means I don't have to fret so much over an unproper switch. I hurd a lot about this set, & I was initially put off by Outraging Flygon, but if the reports are rite, then it seems sound enough.
Vileplume@Black Sludge/Leftovers
Nature:Calm
Substitute/Aromatherapy
Leech Seed
Stun Spore
Sludge Bomb
EV:244 HP, 144 Sp.D, 70 Def, 52 Sp.Atk
Vileplume is on all my teams, no exceptions. I wonder how he will fare in Plat? Just as fine, probably better. Substitute is my move of choice, but I may switch into Aromatherapy if I find my prediction skills lacking.
Hippowdon@Leftovers
Nature:Impish
Stealth Rock
Slack Off
Earthquake
Roar
EV
Well, I've always wanted to use Hippoman, and now seemed like the perfect chance. I hurd how badly Salamence is, and both Sandstorm & Stealth Rock seems like a great solution. Roar is to help stop that freak from setting up. I was thinking of putting Hyper Beam, cause it worked in the Animoo. At least that's what my little cousin says, & he beet the Elite 4 THREE times!!!
Leafeon@Leftovers
Nature:Impish
Leaf Blade
Wish
Yawn/Knock Off
Protect/Knock Off
EV:252 HP, 20 Def, 232 Spe
I always wanted to try using this one. He is supposed to back up the team with well timed Wishes. Yawn may also force some switches and/or Sleep, so a double threat. Of course, Yawn & Knock Off works well together.
I would really like to use Leafeon, so if he can find a place, that would be great. I wouldn't mind trying out that SD passing set...But I will understand if he must leave. Though I really don't want him too.
Lucario@Choice Scarf
Nature:Mild
Close Combat
Stone Edge
Hidden Power [ICE]
EV:40 Atk, 216 Sp.A, 252 Spe
I saw this set on Smogon, and I liked it. What seems to be a great wall breaker (which I hear are obsolete), and a great answer to speedy dragons. It doesn't matter if SD is better, it doesn't (seem) to funtion as well on this team.
Sceptile@Choice Specs
Nature:Timid
Leaf Storm
Hidden Power [ICE]
Focus Blast
Grass Knot
EV:252 Sp.A, 252 Spe
I have no intrerest in keeping Sceptile here, however, I am short on ideas & can really use some help. What is a great offence on the special side for this team? Anything but Gengar.
Well, that's my team in a nutshell. I'm open to suggestions, but I will not replace Vilpelume or Flygon. The whole point is to try using this new Outrage Flygon. I also would like ot keep Leafeon, but I will lose him if need be. Hopefully, I will be able to keep him. I have no intention of keeping Sceptile, so any replacements would be welcome. But if he stays, sure, whatever.
