ok so im havin metagross.i thought bulletpunch is good as he has low speed

Yes it is good, read my post

If you want Bullet Punch use it > Ice Punch/T-punch and not over Meteor Mash.

 

[FinalPaladin]

i not sure a bout togekiss as it is good

 

[luke]

Togekiss is awesome.

Togekiss @ Leftovers
Nature: Modest
EVs: 120 HP / 252 SATK / 132 Speed
Ability: Serene Grace

Air Slash
Aura Sphere
Flamethrower / Roost
Nasty Plot

Flamethrower for more coverage or Roost for survivability. EVs and Nature are probably off though. If you wanted to go the easy route, there's always the Flinchkiss set.

 

[Zurich]

Is tri attack good on togekiss? i mean, is a strong STAB attack, and it also benefits from serene grace. But i dont know if its convenient.....

IIRC its illegal with egg moves( e.g Nasty Plot etc) due to it being from XD (I think) , however it is a good option on the specs and scarf set.

-UNDECIDED-

In that slot, I'm deciding on whether or not to use a standard Rest-Talk Cune or Rest-Talk Zapdos.

 

[Willoweon]

Ok, thanks for the previous help, i'm making a powerhouse for my team, and I'm trying to choose one.

Rhydon
Adamant
Atk-132
Sp.Atk-59
Def-133
Rock Head

-Horn Drill
-Hammer Arm
-Stone Edge
-Earthquake

OR

Flygon
Quiet
Atk-129
Def-91
Sp.Atk-101

-Fly
-Rock Smash
-Dragon Breath
-Dragon claw/Draco Meteor

 

[Azonic]

Rhyperior outclasses Rhydon and Garchomp outclasses Flygon. And those movesets are terrible. @_@

Anyways Garchomp always is the way to go, lol.

Garchomp @ Yache Berry
Trait: Sand Veil
Nature: Jolly
EVs: 252 Attack / 252 Speed / 4 HP
- Outrage
- Earthquake
- Fire Fang
- Swords Dance

That would be standard.

 

[StrickeN]

I'd consider Dclaw over outrage, or you could get revenge killed, but thats just me

 

[The Hero Without a Name]

i not sure a bout togekiss as it is good

He is awesome.

Besides the Nasty Plot sweeper, which Apostle posted, here's one of his most infamous:

ParaFlinch
Togekiss @ Leftovers
Calm
Serene Grace
252 HP/6 DEF/252 SPDEF
Thunder Wave
Air Slash
Aura Sphere
Roost

 

[4th Gen Matt]

Snorlax @ Leftovers
Thick Fat (Raises resistance to Fire + Ice type moves.)
Adamant Nature (+ Atk, - SpA)
144 HP, 68 Atk, 132 Def, 164 SpD
Curse
Body Slam
Shadow Ball
Rest

Curselax ftw~

Now for some questions.

1) What exactly is a tank? My guess is that it is a pokemon with a high Def or SpD stat, but it also has a high attack stat, so it can be a wall or a sweeper. Am I right?

2) What role would my Snorlax play?

Meh, sorry if I sound like a noob, but I kind of am. I have been battlling my friends with EV trained teams and stuff but I just recently started Wi-Fi'ing people.

Thanks for your help.

1st Post on 135th page ftw!

Curselax doesn't work well in DP. Snorlax himself doesn't have a reliable, one-turn recovery move, and with Rest, he's pretty much asking to be set up on. Rest Talking is more reliable.

And Walls tend to have high HP AND a high defensive stat. They also tend to have a decent attacking stat so that they won't be set-up fodder.

EDIT: And Shadow Ball is a special move now. Yes, no more Shadow Ball Medicham or Dusky. Least Gengar's got a powerful STAB move now.

What if I replace Rest with Slack Off?

And I think I will replace SB with EQ.

 

[The Hero Without a Name]

Snorlax doesn't even get Slack Off =/

 

[Xairmo]

Snorlax can't learn Slack Off :/
Edit: Fabian beat me to it xD

 

[4th Gen Matt]

Snorlax can't learn Slack Off :/

I understand that.

I'm going to try breeding it on him.

Gotta find a Full Incense first then.

Or did you mean even with breeding?

I am confused. =/

That would not make any sense though, it says on Serebii that Snorlax can't learn Counter, but he can. So he can possibly learn Slack Off.

If he can't, then thats weird. It seems like the perfect move for him.

 

[The Hero Without a Name]

Wait, what?

Pretty flawed logic =/ It doesn't say so on the DP section for Snorlax because Counter is obtained from an Advance move tutor. There is no move tutor in ADV that teaches Slack Off.

Dang, it would be the perfect move for him too.

Suggest any other Snorlax sets?

Or should I just toss the idea out the window?

 

[The Hero Without a Name]

There's always CBLax.

...I'm not really an expert on him, though, so I'll just leave the discussion to someone else.

 

[4th Gen Matt]

I think I decided to go with this Snorlax. I kind of messed with the RestTalk lax and I think its pretty good.

Rest
Sleep Talk
Body Slam/Return (I think I like Body Slam because of the 30% paralysis chance.)
Crunch (I think its better than Shadow Ball. Its a physical move unlike the special attack Shadow Ball. It takes cares of Ghosts, and Psychics, and anything else really. Nothing really resists Dark besides Steel and a few others.)
