Rate my new Sapphire Team, onegai.

[Arsibiyez]

This team is for the Lvl.100 Battle Tower Challenge.
My darned link cable is broken so I can't trade to other versions. Dang.

Anyway...

Salamence @ Shell bell
Modest Nature
Crunch
Dragonbreath
Flamethrower
Hidden Power [Psychic]

Versatile Special Sweeper Mence for me. The HP Psychic was incredible luck. It helps greatly against Poison Walls like Muk and Weezing and Fighting Stalkers like Machamp. Dragonbreath for paralyzing those ground types that my Lant can't stiff and decent STABbed damage. Not much difference when I compared with Dragon Claw. It still takes 2-3 hits to KO a non-dragon. 2 hits against Kingdra if I get lucky and it uses something weird like Surf, as crappy in-game AI tend to do.


Lanturn @ Leftovers
Modest Nature
Thunder Wave
Thunderbolt
Surf
Ice Beam

Thunder Wave for sure paralysis. Thunderbolt against Bulkies, Surf is obvious, and Ice Beam for sweeping against Latios/Latias for 2-hit KO, Mence and Flygon get OHKO. Volt Absorb takes heal from Maggy and Thunderpunching Kazams and such.


Sableye @ Bright Powder
Lonely Nature
Shadow Ball
Night Shade
Confuse Ray
Recover

Effectively disarms already-paralyzed Pokemon by using Confuse Ray. Only fighting weakness, after Foresight or Odor Sleuth which in-game AI at Battle Tower never seem to use. Has low Def and SDef, but survives well enough with Confuse Ray and Recover. Night Shade for surpassing resistances of Steel and fellow Dark; also against high SDef Bulky Waters. Shadow Ball gets most other types and kills of Psychics extremely well. Not the strongest of my team, but certainly my favorite.

Hidden Power [Psychic] Hydro Pump/Brick Break

Versatile Special Sweeper Mence for me. The HP Psychic was incredible luck. It helps greatly against Poison Walls like Muk and Weezing and Fighting Stalkers like Machamp. Dragonbreath for paralyzing those ground types that my Lant can't stiff and decent STABbed damage. Not much difference when I compared with Dragon Claw.

What planet are you from, creature? ~_~ Psychic attacks on non-psychic pokémon are pointless (STAB Dragon Claw will KO poison types just as quick) and Hidden Power [Psychic] is the game creators' punishment upon mankind, certainly not a stroke of luck. Nothing benefits from Hidden Power [Psychic] Nothing at all. ~_~ Look, let me break it down for you. A STAB Dragon Claw against a poison type has a power of 80 x 1.5 which is 120. A non-STAB Hidden Power [Psychic] at its absolute maximum (Which it practically never achieves ingame) is 70 x 2 = 140 with a whopping 20 damage difference against one of the two measly types that a psychic attack excels against, however, as stated previously, your Salamence does not have perfect IVs and Hidden Power is most probably somewhere around 40, if you were fairly lucky with the IVs. 40 x 2 < 80 x 1.5. Seriously, do the math. Also, Dragonbreath on a sweeper is lol, as is a special Mence without Hydro Pump. Dragon Claw is the strongest move this sorry excuse for a sweeper could get and you're not using it? Get a grip, Mence fails as a status inducer, that's not it's job! <.< Seriously, all proper mences are physical sweepers (As I believe I already told you before). Special mence = rofflecakes. This thing is about as versatile as the CB Shuckle I made for laughs, except that it can't 2-hit KO Celebi. =P

Lanturn @ Leftovers
Modest Nature
Thunder Wave
Thunderbolt
Surf Rest
Ice Beam

Thunder Wave for sure paralysis. Thunderbolt against Bulkies, Surf is obvious, and Ice Beam for sweeping against Latios/Latias for 2-hit KO, Mence and Flygon get OHKO. Volt Absorb takes heal from Maggy and Thunderpunching Kazams and such.

And the lack of HP recovery screws it over. Lanturn is a wall, so Rest over Surf here. The boltbeam combo is more valuable than an additional layer of STAB.

Sableye @ Bright Powder
Lonely Nature
Shadow Ball Knock Off
Night Shade
Confuse Ray Toxic
Recover

Effectively disarms already-paralyzed Pokemon by using Confuse Ray. Only fighting weakness, after Foresight or Odor Sleuth which in-game AI at Battle Tower never seem to use. Has low Def and SDef, but survives well enough with Confuse Ray and Recover. Night Shade for surpassing resistances of Steel and fellow Dark; also against high SDef Bulky Waters. Shadow Ball gets most other types and kills of Psychics extremely well. Not the strongest of my team, but certainly my favorite.

Lol Sableye. Seriously, this thing is weak with a capital 'W' and with its puny statline, especially with a -Defense nature like this one, it's liable to get OHKOed or 2-hit KOed by just about everything out there. Relying on pathetic attempts at luck like Confuse Ray and Brightpowder is just sad. Ditch it and get a physical sweeper instead, this one is just wasting space on the team.

My prediction? You're going to get royally owned by the first AI who knows its head from its arse (Metaphorically speaking) The only properly functioning member on this team is Lanturn, and it certainly won't be able to pull it off on its own. Really, get a proper physical Mence (I believe I already gave that set once and won't repeat myself) and something to replace that Sableye, maybe a tanking type. If you could trade I'd reccommend Snorlax, but this not being the case...well, try to find something more worthwhile. I guarantee you, it's not hard. Sableye looks cool but it's not much use in a fight.

Dusclops is a much better Ghost Pokémon than Sableye. Its defenses can be quite the savior.

Yeah. I like Pain Split, but isn't Misdreavus the only Pokemon that can learn it? I wish I could trade... T-T

(Someone lend me a link cable, onegai. LOL)

Thats what i thought unless it learned it through breeding or tm(which by the way i dont think there is any tm for it)
