Espeon
Glaceon
Flygon
Lumineon
Raichu
Carnivine/Butterfree

any suggestions?

To be blunt, if you wanna win start over and learn how to battle competetively. Literally none of your pokemon are top-tier, and lumineon is NU. The threads here like the competetive 4th gen guide will teach you the fundements of competetive play, which should aid you in improving.

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.)

Comments?

This is a much better lax, this is the one i actually use most of the time. I'd go careful/ adamant also.

It has an Adamant nature.

Here are the EVs:

144 HP
68 Atk
132 Def
164 SpD

Randomness: This is just something random I wanted to say. I saw a guy earlier that gave Snorlax Speed ev's. Lol.

 

[sims796]

Damn it, Matt, so close. Careful is the way to go, not Adamant, unless you want a Choice band Lax.

Can a cleric Blissey set do without Seismic Toss? I'm really not down to go back to Emerald which I don't have. I'm thinking something like:

-Aromatherapy
-Ice Beam/ThunderBolt/Flamethrower
-Softboiled
-Thunder Wave/Toxic

Blissey has a diverse moveset it can do without Seismic Toss. Thunder Wave cripples any sweeper (except of course Garchomp making Ice Beam a more favourable choice). ThunderBolt is just there for Gyarados and Skarmory and Flamethrower for Bronzong, Scizor and Foretress.

 

[sims796]

No. Not at all. It needs it, or else Pokemon will set up on it. Don't think her meager base 76 Sp.Atk will do much damage.

 

[ABYAY]

If you want to use non-Seismic Toss Blissey, your best option is probably CM Bliss (and no, that's not CB). That's just my opinion though.

 

[sims796]

Oh, Substitute! That's what it was! I was thinking on what she gets stopped by without it.'

Sorry, don'cha hate it when there's a word at the tip of yourtounge, thatpops out at the worst moment?

Nobody asked for that...
Or do you want it rated yourself?

 

[FinalPaladin]

oh yeh i forgot to ask for it to be rated

 

[Zurich]

oh yeh i forgot to ask for it to be rated

Put nasty plot and take out T-wave.
Is much better that way

The problem with that though is that on my team i have way too many pokes with stat boosting moves. Although of course i switch between these from battle to battle, on the pokemon I use most commonly for wi-fi battle I have:

Cursepert
SD Garchomp
NP Mixape
NP Porygon-Z
CMCune
CM Jirachi

And I'm probably forgetting some. Point being that most of my team consists of Pokemon with stat boosting moves which they rely on. I'm trying to cut down on training those.

Plus the Cleric would be a support pokemon. and if anyone tries to set-up on me I'll throw a Thunder Wave their way making it pretty hard to sweep. The only problem would be Garchomp who get 2/3HKOd with ice beam.

I suggest taking out NP on Mixape for either Stone Edge or HP Electric, as Chomp is banned nao. I also suggest taking out Chomp out for a ScarfCross, as Chomp is banned.

So he was actually moved up today, huh.

Wonder where the metagame will go from here. And how Sky Shaymin (should it be OU) will affect it. I'm not gonna rant about how ima kill it if it bumps Toggy down to BL cause I've done that enough already.

 

[FinalPaladin]

oh is lucario any good.for the battle tower.and are these moves any good
dragonpulse
aurasphere
psychic
extremespeed

 

[Angelic Diablo]

Umm not really.

Lucario@Choice Specs/Life Orb
Timid Nature
EVs: 252 Spd, 252 Sp Atk, 6 Atk or HP
-Aura Sphere/Focus Blast
-HP Ice
-Shadow Ball
-Vacuum Wave

Much better, also if you want a more speedy version, Agility over Vacuum Wave works too. Also note real men use Focus Blast

 

[FinalPaladin]

are any of these good for the battle tower
GLALIE
SCEPTILE
GALLADE

and is this good for
CROBAT
GIGADRAIN
SLUDGE BOMB
SHADOWBALL/DARKPULSE
AIRSLASH

 

[Archer]

Not really. You could run Nasty Plot over Giga Drain if you want to run a special set, although this set is my favourite.

Crobat@Lefties/Wide Lens
Timid
188 HP/68 SAtk/252 Spd
- Air Slash
- Hypnosis
- Taunt/Roost
- U-Turn
