**Rate My Pokemon**

[xactos]

Hello there. I'm fairly new to these Forums, but I just wanted to get some opinions on some Pokemon...​

Floatzel - Focus Sash
Jolly nature
252attack/252speed/4HP
Swift Swim​

Waterfall
Ice Fang
Rain Dance
Crunch​

It's a risky sweeper.
First I use Rain Dance, which doubles Floatzel's max speed, 361 to 722. By then Focus Sash should have saved me, after that it obliteration. Waterfall, STAB effect. Ice Fang for pesky Grass-types, and Crunch for Ghost-types that carry Electric and Grass moves.
But again it's RISKY.​

Forretress - Lefties
Relaxed nature
252defence/252HP/4attack
Sturdy​

Stealth Rock
Spikes
Rapid Spin
Explosion​

Just a basic physical wall. Set up Stealth Rock and Spikes and then suicide for Forretress, causing some damage.​

Garchomp - Smooth Rock (Might exchange for Life Orb)
Jolly nature
252speed/252attack/2HP/2defence
Sand Veil​

Dragon Claw
Earthquake
Fire Fang
Sandstorm(Might replace. Don't know what yet) :/​

A decent physical sweeper. Brute strength FTW! Dragon Claw and Earthquake for STAB effects and Fire Fang for those Ice-types trying to kill Chomp.​

Dusknoir - Lefties
Careful nature
252sp.defence/252hp/2attack/2defence
Pressure​

Will-o-Wisp
Pain Split
Fire Punch
Shadow Sneak​

Basic special wall. You can picture on what to do with this.​

Alakazam - Expert Belt
Timid nature
252speed/252sp.attack/4HP
Synchronize​

Psychic
Thunderbolt
Grass Knot
Focus Blast​

Dependable special sweeper, I guess. It's so frial though, which bothers me... Wish I had Hidden Power Fighting 70 instead of Focus Blast. Miss = dead. Good type coverage. Can't outrun things some Pokemon like Weavile and Aero. So it's a debate on the item. Expert Belt or another Focus Sash.​

Things needed to be done​

- Find sixth member
- Take suggestions​

That's it. Oh, btw... I'm from GamesRadar.

Two weather conditions on the same team is usually no good. Throw Swords Dance over Sandstorm on Garchomp. Floatzel, in my opinion, makes a better mid-game to late-game sweeper.

Cant stop for a full rate, but here's a few points:
*There are so many weather teams out there nowadays focus sash is gone in an instant. New item and get rid of rain dance, possibly find a choice band set.
*Gyro Ball over explosion, you dont wanna be blowing up your wall and spinner
*No sandstorm on garchomp, as Blueberry said two weather effects screw up your team, especially when 4/6 are damaged by it. Life orb item please and WTF is 2 EVs in each stat gonna do? You need four for a boost, thats a point wasted
*That Noir EV spread should read 252HP/76Def/180SpDef please
*Alakazam needs more specs IMO, but the set's ok.

You need a second poke that can hit hard special-wise, because if Zam goes down physical walls are gonna be the death of you.

Um Rain Dance will change the weather with Sash Floatzel :0

Also, Swords Dance over Sandstorm on Garchomp with a Life Orb...it'll turn even stronger VERY quickly.

Ok ok ok, Well in my opinion.

For your sixth pokemon, you need a pokemon with a very high attack, your team looks very defensive.
Alakazam is a good pokemon, it's speed is high and as is it's special attack, but if he gets hit..he's going down. Possibly switch out Grass Knot for Recover, or totally re do him and pick a different pokemon. I used to use him a lot, he's good until you go agaisnt a pokemon with a high special defence/not weak against any of those moves, and a high attack. Your desicion.

Also, Garchomp is a very good pokemon but i would suggest you be very careful with that sandstorm or just not use it all together.

Hmm Wil-o-Wisp...not a big fan of it, sure it sucks but it's slow damage. Might i suggest you switch it for Focus Punch. Beeing he's a ghost type a few moves dont affect him, it gives you a good advantage so you can tottally slaughter them.



....Floatzel...Why?...???...Swampert would be a better replacement. Also he would be good because he is ground, and if you wanted to keep that sandstorm of yours he wont be affected by it what so ever. =D

Hmm, not to sure if im digging the whole...suicide plan, i mean why would you want to kill your pokemon..hmm..i dont know just my opinion, never got into the whole explosion move at all.

Also, i think Metagross would be a good addition to this team

All stats are above 250 nuet nature, besides Speed which is at 239 at level 100, good idea? i think so.

Rage... building.

Ok ok ok, Well in my opinion.

For your sixth pokemon, you need a pokemon with a very high attack, your team looks very defensive. Are you kidding? He has three sweepers! And one of them is Garchomp.

Alakazam is a good pokemon, it's speed is high and as is it's special attack, but if he gets hit..he's going down. Possibly switch out Grass Knot for Recover, or totally re do him and pick a different pokemon. NO. True, Alakazam dies in one hit- WHICH IS WHY YOU DON'T GET HIT IN THE FIRST PLACE. If Alakazam uses Recover, an enemy will use that free turn to slaughter him like a pig. Of course, he can only Recover when he takes damage, so it all relies on him actually being able to survive a hit- WHICH HE CAN'T.

I used to use him a lot, he's good until you go agaisnt a pokemon with a high special defence/not weak against any of those moves, and a high attack. Your desicion. Have you ever heard of switching out? Seriously, if you keep Ally in on something that can kill it, you deserve to have him die.

Also, Garchomp is a very good pokemon but i would suggest you be very careful with that sandstorm or just not use it all together. I'll agree here...

Hmm Wil-o-Wisp...not a big fan of it, sure it sucks but it's slow damage. Might i suggest you switch it for Focus Punch. Beeing he's a ghost type a few moves dont affect him, it gives you a good advantage so you can tottally slaughter them. NO. Will-o-Wisp is an awesome move, since Burn cuts an opponent's Attack in half, which helps Dusk support the team. Focus Punch isn't a terrible move for Dusknoir, but it's not a great one, either- especially not over the move that makes people use him in the first place.



....Floatzel...Why?...???...Swampert would be a better replacement. Also he would be good because he is ground, and if you wanted to keep that sandstorm of yours he wont be affected by it what so ever. =D Swampert is completely different from Floatzel...

Hmm, not to sure if im digging the whole...suicide plan, i mean why would you want to kill your pokemon..hmm..i dont know just my opinion, never got into the whole explosion move at all. I'll agree here, too...

Also, i think Metagross would be a good addition to this team I don't think so.

All stats are above 250 nuet nature, besides Speed which is at 239 at level 100, good idea? i think so. huh?

Edits in bold, yadda yadda.
