Pokemon Heartgold Ingame Help

[StrickeN]

This is my pokemon heartgold ingame team. Now mind you, I'm not worried about IV's/EV's. So don't ask or worry about that.


Ok, I just beat the elite four with this line up.

Gengar - Lvl 39
Modest
-Shadow Ball
-Focus Blast
-Mean Look
-Sludge Bomb

he did pretty good, but could have been better if he had been at a better level. But i'm proud of him, he did very well.

Slowking - Lvl 40
Serious
-Surf
-hidden Power Electric
-Nasty Plot
-Zen headbutt

Slowking did really well. the only thing he could have done better would be to take Houndoom better who i found out rips my entire team. I was so happy when I found out he had HP electric, which I found out after the fight with red Gyarados. With nasty plot he put Lances gyara to nothingness.

Magnezone - Lvl 40
Quiet
-Thunder
-Lock On
-Rain Dance
-magnet Bomb

horribly, pure crap. Outside of standard he didn't do jack. especially since it is super hard t5o get a tbolt TM. He did nothing but take hits and allow me to heal allies.

Typhlosion - Lvl 46
Modest
-Fire Blast
-Lava Plume
-Swift
-Quick Attack

he did really well in the E4, except for stupid Lovely Kiss Jynx.


Heracross - Lvl 42
Jolly
-close Combat
-Brick Break
-Aerial Ace
-take Down

Hera did really well. Especially vs stupid Umbreon. Wish he had megahorn though.


Mamoswine - Lvl 46
Relaxed
-Avalanche
-Earth quake
-Dig
-Ice Shard

WOW. MVP of this team for the E4. He did SOOOOO well vs sooooo many things. Especially vs Lance.

Thunderbolt is just more coverage if you can get the TM.



Slowking - Lvl 40
Serious
-Surf
-hidden Power Electric
-Nasty Plot
-Zen headbutt Psychic when he gets to 48.

Slowking's attack stat isn't too great and Psychic will also take advantage of Nasty Plot.

Magnezone - Lvl 40
Quiet
-Thunderbolt - if you can get it.
-Lock On Never found this useful. Find a damaging move for coverage.
-Rain Dance Don't want RD to lower Typhlosion's usefulness. Put in Toxic or something if all he does is stall.
-magnet Bomb Raise it 6 levels and get Mirror Shot.

Make use of Magnezone's excellent SpAtk and he should be pretty good.

Typhlosion - Lvl 46
Modest
-Fire Blast Sunny Day
-Lava Plume Flamethrower
-Swift Brick Break
-Quick Attack Solarbeam

he did really well in the E4, except for stupid Lovely Kiss Jynx.
No need for two fire and two normal type attacks. Made to cover weaknesses

Heracross - Lvl 42
Jolly
-close Combat/Megahorn
-Brick Break/Megahorn
-Aerial Ace Earthquake
-take Down Find a Rock-move for those pesky flying types.
Hera did really well. Especially vs stupid Umbreon. Wish he had megahorn though.
Covering weaknesses + Getting STAB. Only need one fighting move.

Mamoswine - Lvl 46
Relaxed
-Avalanche/I prefer Ice Fang.
-Earth quake
-Dig Get a Stone Edge TM. Nao.
-Ice Shard

WOW. MVP of this team for the E4. He did SOOOOO well vs sooooo many things. Especially vs Lance.
No need for 2 ice moves but since one is priority I'll let it slide. Def. no need for 2 ground ones though.

changes in bold

I haven't rated in a long time so I'm kind of rusty. That said, you seem to get a general knowledge of Physical vs. Special attacks but you really need to get more type coverage in your attacks. It would have made the E4 tons easier.

I know a lot about coverage lol.

It's just lack of TM's and general care for training.

I see your point though. The suggestions seem to be mainly to me blatently obvious.

Thanks though.
