Hi, I am in need of major help when it comes to my firered team. Any move changes or changes of pokemon oppinions are welcome. My team is as follows.
TANGELA
Modest Nature (+SAtk, -Atk)
- Amnesia/Leech Seed
- Sleep Powder
- Solarbeam
- Sunny Day
The SunnyBeamer set is predictable, but probably the best for Tangela. Sleep Powder is a must. Amnesia helps its horrible base SDef, or you can use Leech Seed to help it tank a bit. Bad nature though. You should go with Modest.
SNORLAX
Careful Nature (+SDef, -SA)
- Body Slam/Return/Double-Edge
- Curse/Sleep Talk
- Rest
- Shadow Ball/Earthquake
Ugh. You ruined the best Poke in the game. NEVER use crappy two-turn moves like Hyper Beam. If you want a strong attack, use Return instead. For example, in the time it takes you to attack once with Hyper Beam (150 AP) that takes two turns, you can attack TWICE with Return (102 AP), dealing more damage. Again, more than one attack of the same type is bad strategy. Snorlax is best used either stalking (Sleep Talk + Rest) or breeding for Curse. Shadow Ball or Earthquake are strickly by preference and by what TMs you have. Your nature is okay, but Careful is always preferred.
BLASTOISE
Bold Nature (+Def, -Atk)
- Ice Beam
- Rest
- Surf
- Toxic/Counter/Protect/Earthquake
Poor Blastoise has TWO crappy two-turn moves. Keep Surf and dump the rest. Ice Beam is good for Grass/Dragon Pokes, Rest to help it last longer, and the last slot is a toss up. The nature isn't helping again. Use Bold.
SCYTHER
Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Agility
- Baton Pass
- Silver Wind
- Swords Dance
Scyther shouldn't be used as an attacker since its movepool is so limited. It is used best as a Baton Passer. Bring it in, Agility, Swords Dance (if you can) and the BP to a different Poke that can actually do some damage. Also, NEVER use Normal-type moves on non-Normal Pokes. It is a waste of a slot. Silver Wind is an Egg move, but well worth it. Normally, your nature would be good, but for the BP set you will want Adamant.
MAGMAR
- Cross Chop/Brick Break
- Confuse Ray
- Flamethrower
- Thunderpunch
Having a Fire-type that only knows Fire moves is bad strategy. Fire is a bad type to begin with, at least give it some other moves to help it survive longer. Sunny Day is a useless move since Tangela already has it and its stats don't need it. Just remember that Cross Chop and Thunderpunch are Egg moves and are illegal together. Confuse Ray is a good option as well. Also, stay away from neutral natures as they don't help you at all.
DRAGONITE
Quiet Nature (+SAtk, -Spd)
- Focus Punch
- Ice Beam
- Substitute
- Thunderbolt
Two options here. SubPunch or Dragon Dance. I prefer DD, but if this is strictly in-game, SubPunch can wreek havoc. If you go with SubPunch, you then need to choose between FlameClaw or BoltBeam. With a lack of a good Electric Poke on the team, I would go with BoltBeam. You have bad luck with natures.
Thanks.
