Well, there you have it. As you can see my BT team needs EV spreads, items and a nature for Sceptile. I'm open to all and any suggestions. Thanks in advance

Switch Skarmory's Roar with Whirlwind so soundproof Pokemon arne't invulnerable to shuffling. You might consider Refresh instead of Recover for Milotic.

As for the BT team, not much help is needed on BT. Two Linoones and a Pokemon with attacks that can kill Shedinja is all you need to clear the Tower of those idiotic, EVless trainers.

Thanks, but what do you think of my movesets on my bt team?

 

[Mew9]

u can't switch roar with whirlwind, as that is an illegilly breedable moveset (i tried it on NB).

 

[Simon]

What are you talking about? Whirlwind isn't illegal on Skarmory. It's jsut an Egg Move and it can learn it on NB. I use it all the time.

 

[Mew9]

yeah, but Drill Peck + Rest + Whirlwind contains a combonation of egg moves that are not legally obtainable - I just did it on NB. So i can guarantee u don't use that moveset on NB.

 

[Frostweaver]

if you want drill peck, it means that Skarmory must breed with Dodrio, Murkrow or Fearow, and none of them can learn whirlwind. Skarmory gets whirlwind from Pidgey family.

Team rate...

Skarmory- dont' go there...

Dusclops- I'm not sure... it'll take your ages to get enough CM to do decent damage. I'll much rather prefer seismic to nshade to get the damage done. Plus this set doesn't give you protect, which is IMHO the best move Dusclops can learn along with will o wisp... protect+lefties+pressure is so annoying. I'll reconsider the EVs and distribute more EVs towards defense instead of being equal, because you also got Milotic to help out special. Plus there's more swords dance out there than calm mind and tail glow put together.

Milotic- I just hope that SpD means Sp.defense not speed O.o; Milotic should seriously tank specials. It can still sweep even if it got terrible speed, because Milotic is so tanky. Try to get paralyzed or even burnt at all cost to activate marvel scale for a nice 300+ defense for both stats.

Gardevoir- unless you just like Gardevoir, I'll recommand dumping it and transfer the exact moveset onto an Alakazam, with thunderpunch replacing thunderbolt.

Zangoose- of course as if there's any other set...

Salamence- it'll work just fine

OU rating: 5/6 (Gardevoir being the 1/6 UU)


As for a BT team, you don't need a team... just get 3 fast sweepers and you won BT >>;
