    Ok, I haven't had this team rated before...and was wondering if beating 31 out of 36 opponents was a fluke,lol. :laugh:
    But I don't think it is though.. :)


    Espeon/female + Brightpowder
    Moves:
    Phychic
    Morning sun
    Shadow ball
    Attract

    Arcanine/male + charcoal
    Moves:
    Flamethrower
    Crunch
    Curse
    Extreemspeed


    Suicune + Mystic water
    Moves:
    Surf
    Ice beam
    Return
    Mirror coat


    Raikou + Mint berry
    Moves:
    Thunderbolt
    Rest
    Crunch
    Iron tail

    Lugia + Leftovers
    Moves:
    Earthquake
    Thunderbolt
    Airoblast
    Recover


    Rhydon/female + Quick claw
    Moves:
    Submission
    Earthquake
    Return
    Rock slide


    All are level; 100

    And this has to be my best team so far,lol..And one of my favs as I have only used the pokemon I love the most in the game.. - Charizard though. :\ *coughs*
     
    Espeon@Bright Powder
    Morning Sun
    Bite
    Psychic
    Attract

    you have a good set just change shadow ball with bite coz espeon's attack power sucks... But Sp Attack rocks. And with his speed, the flinch rate may come in handy.

    Arcanine--pretty standard, just change charcoal to leftover may be.

    Suicune@Mint Berry
    Surf
    Ice Beam
    Rest
    Mirror Coat

    Standard moveset for suicune

    Raikou@King's Rock
    Crunch
    Thunderbolt
    Reflect
    Iron Tail--I guess you could keep Iron Tail... Although in general i don't like it... But Raikou's good attack stats could use it... Comes in handy against a Blissey...

    Lugia@Miracle Berry
    Recover
    Aeroblast
    Earthquake/Return
    Curse

    This is actually the most popular moveset for lugia... cheap though!

    Rhydon@Leftover
    Horn Drill
    Earthquake
    Rockslide
    Scary Face

    I rarely use him, but I would go with this if ever...
     
    Thanks ;)

    I think i'll change their held items around a bit and replace shadow ball with bite on espeon. ^__^ Lol, shadow ball looks awesome on the poke' stadium. *drools* Black electric/phychic = coolios

    And by 'cheap' I guess you mean easy to beat the opponent.... O___o; I don't like cheapness, I'd rather win fairly or loose. ^__^


    Suicune....Hmmm, very interesting. I could actually make that moveset work here. :) She's always being KO'ed to fast, well...I think so.

    My raikou has allot of attack power, somewhat almost equil to his special.... (don't ask, I am confused also). So i'll most likely keep him as he is, but I will keep the options open for future upgrades.


    If I was to *cough* change Rhydon/the only member of my team I was kinda finding hard to cope with... What should i change her to?
     
    Espeon: I'm not a fan of Brightpowder, and since this is your starter... I'm not too big on starting with Espy either. It doesn't do anything. Miracleberry, and I'd have bite over Shadow ball, with an option of growth on Attract.

    Arcy: Leftovers at least over Charcoal, or MInty rest over Crunch.

    Suicune: Leftovers for sure. Rest over Return, Roar over Ice beam. Mirror coat is optional, depending on whether or not you prefer Toxic over it.

    Raikou: Rest, Sleep Talk, Bolt, Crunch.

    Lugia: And you wonder why you won 31 games =P Ubers are generally banned from legal tournies, but whatever. The set's not bad, variants can put curse over Tbolt, or Psychic.

    Rhydon: Get a male one. @ Leftovers for recovery, with either roar or horn drill over Submission, and maybe protect or rest or fire blast over Return, your call. Personally, I'd definately put roar on it for pseudohazing.

    Overall: Your team has 2 legends and an uber, making it pretty **** overstat'd. 4x weak to starmie, so keep raikou alive.
     
    Lol, I didn't know Lugia was a banned pokemon... XD Overall, great rating, thanks for the tips and advice. :)

    What's uber mean?
    Just wondering....


    Oh, yeah... I was challanged by a guy by the name of "Pencil chewin' paul" in my college class, and he had 5 Legendarys... Tehe. Cool...not. -___o; That's bound to scare off most ppl he challanged alone. *cough* He was nearly beaten after 20 min though... But those damb tutors dissconnected our game, so it was a draw... I hate it when that happens, a few more seconds and he would have fallen! XD Lol..

    Oh, he had these pokemon/ I don't know 'all' of their moves, but they were pretty strong...

    Celibi
    Moltres
    Mewtwo
    Suicune
    Jolteon
    Lugia (Yes, i waiting for him to send out this pokemon,since i guess he had one,and was right)

    Fun battle, full of laughter and comments on each others teams, i must finish the task of finaly beating him though.... ^___^ Muahaha... J/K, when he's ready with his improovements, he'll challange me soon enough.
     
    Well, Lugia's not so much banned, but it's along with Mew, Ho-oh and Mewtwo, they're usually frowned upon when used because of their advantages (Stats, recovery, movepool, weakness in general) over most pokemon. (Eg: Mewtwo's spA is over 400, the nexth highest is 368 and has a 188 defense compared to Mewtwo's 278.

    That's why they, along with Celebi (SOMETIMES), are banned from tournies.
     
    Yeah, Sunny espeon sounds interesting. ^__^ A bit like a flareon,but with that 'special attack' bonus. :)

    And i am glad Lugia isn't allways banned, *huggles* he's so cute! :D
     
    Ice demon said:
    Why is it no one uses a HP fire espeon
    espeon - sunny day
    HP fire
    morning sun
    psychic

    sunny day to boost HP fire + morning sun.Psychic for STAB
    Click to expand...

    because it's not that versatile. The most reliable Espeon counter next to lax and Blissey are also special attack absorbers, namely something like Suicune, Starmie, etc. Starmie, especially, has teh advantage on HP fire here, and because no one really sends steel types nor bug types (there's only 1 bug to take it down, and no one's stupid enough to send it out), sunny day can usually be overshadowed by the power of growth.
     
    uFirst of all, just so you know, i believe in brute force, just look at my party that people rated. Espeon is a good pokemon, with good stats, but i would get rid of Shadow ball for bite. A psychic pokemon w/ dark moves is VERY powerful, and can pretty much destroy the Elite 4 on its own. Arcanine is good, except for curse, since it can be more of a hinderence that a help (unless u have recover or mean look). Make sure ur Suicune loves u 2 hav return. Raikou is good, x-cept i would get rid of crunch and give it curse since it can use rest to recover itself after cursing your opponent. Then u can give Arcanine a powerful attack or something like sunny day. Lugia seems pretty useless in ur party. Since u hav 2 psychic pokemon, a strong dark pokemon can take out 1/3 of ur party. I'm not saying 2 get rid of Lugia, i'm just saying 2 giv him some different attacks. Raikou already has Thunderbolt, so y not give Lugia Zap Cannon? Power plus paralysis. And since Rydon already haz Earthquake, I would give Lugia something like whirlpool or Rain dance (try usinf Rain Dance then Raikou!) Other than that, great party. Hey, also give me some feedback on my party. Its on da first page. Thanz.
     
    Espeon using Shadowball is hardly threatening... even Starmie will survive in at most yellow (and recover and let the game start all over again) Espeon has pretty poor stats for attack, not making a good use of shadowball... bite is a special attack and suits Espeon pretty well. And so much for the elite 4, as they're some of the worst trainers in the world (NEVER compare to them, and never feel proud for beating them) Espeon is hardly that useful due to lack of movepools =/

    Arcanine knowing curse is not that bad at all. It boosts both attack and defense, and who cares about speed when you're unbeatable with ubar-like defense? Plus there's extremespeed as an option to always strike first.

    Suicune definitely needs rest. A "rest-less" Suicune is not even close to half threatening (it's like saying Snorlax is a special sweeper). Return can be used sometimes to spite blissey though.

    Raikou having curse is suicidal due to lack of defense (relatively). Get rid of iron tail for the annoying sleep talker (as suggested by Mana Lugia earlier)

    Lugia is like dark immune anyway with THAT HIGH of a special defense. It can stay there and take whatever coming. One earthquake and it's good bye for Houndoom, and Tyrannitar is gurantee to die in 2 hit. Really dark types are hardly a threat. A good shadowball user is more scary (but for Lugia, "meh") Whirlpool is crappy... don't EVER use it (unless you're pseudo-trapping with perish song? or stalling?)


    Either way Mew... don't revive such an ANCIENT topic... and like what i said before already, check the advanced trainer's guide in my signature to see what common mistakes you're making regarding team making ^_^;

    *close because this is ancient*
