It's a balanced team that can work around weakness. I would swap Aggron for a water type.

 

[Night-Kun]

Dragonite is pure special, all moves cover his weaknesses, sub is to give some cover...
Thanks, I'll consider a good water for aggron... Anyone have some suggestions?

 

[Ham]

I tried Special Draggy and it wasn't good at all.

 

[Golden Groudon]

Yea. BoltBeamSubPuncher is much better.

Dragonite@lefties
Sub
Focus Pouch
T-Bolt
Ice Beam

 

[Night-Kun]

the Subpunching BoltBeaming Dragonite is too common... I replaced DClaw with Beam, so now Dragonite does know boltbeam, but also f thrower and sub. Still a dominately special, but without dclaw... I've used him and he fits best with my team as a special...

 

[Charactarantula]

the Subpunching BoltBeaming Dragonite is too common

its the only effective one.

 

[Golden Groudon]

Yes, the only time you want a nite>mence is when you're going to use that set.

 

[Night-Kun]

Then what is the best moveset for Mence? Is it better than nite? I've never used mence in a battle, in game or not... So I dunno..

 

[Golden Groudon]

Mence has more speed and a little more attack.

DDmence@lefties
Dragon Dance
EQ
Rock Slide
HP flying

ChoiceMence@ChoiceBand
HP flying
FireBlast
EQ
R-Slide

 

[Night-Kun]

Why is FBlast always recommended over Fthrower? I thought FBlast has poor acc? 120 power and 85 acc... Fthrower is only 25 less power with full acc... So whats so special?


BTW: I'll use the CBmence, but without the CB being held.. I HATE CB... Have no use for it and hate the fact that you can only use one move and I dont' like to switch out if not necessary...

Edit: Whats the EVs for CBmence? and what nature? Nvrmind.. I'll look it up...

 

[Rubberbandman]

I know, I've got lots of teams, but this time, I've done my homework!

NO METAL CLAW. IT SUCKS. okay, give it thunder/fire blast as a piece of crap skarmbliss counter but don't because subpunchboltbeam dragonite is there for that. give it earthquake over metal claw.

the EV's are weird and i'm too tired to fix them

 

[Night-Kun]

Why have attack EVs and have an Adamant nature and have psychic with HP fire?

Here's what Smogon.com has to say reguarding that moveset:
"Destroys physical walls, explodes on other jerks. Psychic Weezing and friends, HP Fire stops Skarmory and Forretress, and Meteor Mash destroys any Blissey that comes in to stop you. Psychic is also nice for waters that concentrate primarily on defense and not special defense. Explosion for a last resort against Suicune... or whatever you may need to explode on."

Besides, Sp. Atk is 200+ which gives Psychic plenty of juice...

On the mence issue.. Here's what I got;

Mence (M) @ Lefties
Trait: Intimidate
Adamant Nature
EVs: 6 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spd
Same moves as CBMence...

Adamant to give him 400+ Atk and still have 230 Sp. Atk

@ orangekows

I've already explained my gross, I've fixed nite, and replaced (kinda, I'm still thinkin) with Mence, I don't like my Dodrio, need a better replacement, I'm not so keen with fblast on Blaziken, and don't like stat increasment moves, i never use them, on manectric, i don't use ubers, don't battle them either, no exceptions, and finally, I don't like metal claw either, I needed a replacement move so gave it mclaw for stab.. will change tho, most definately.

 

[orangekows]

actually you're wrong. hp fire and psychic on metagross is lol. and stat increasment moves aren't a waste of time. and raikou is not uber. stop posting ^_^

 

[Night-Kun]

That is Smogon's opinion, not mine, thank you very much for the rude remark. I consider stat increasment moves a waste of my time, if you don't, good for you, its your own opinion. You've already insulted me and I'm not going to spend my time wasting it on you. In my first post I said I was open to constructive critism, that did not mean to insult me. And yes Raiku is uber because legendaries are uber and yes, Raikou is a legendary poke. Now I am getting very tired of arguing with such a young child. You should learn some manners for your elders. I'm ending this discussion, if you reply to this thread again I will report you.

BOT: Does anyone have a good sub for Dodrio? I haven't mad any changes to its moveset or EVs so its the same as it was in my first post...
