Hitmonlee already has a crappy physical def,i dont want it going any lower because of CC.ill stick with rock slide too,i dont like stone edges accuracy....
 
yeeeeehhhhh but closecombat will kill the enemy before they can kill you.
and if his defenses are really low it doesnot matter if it lowers.
oh yeh stoneedge hits so much harder than anything else.
can togekiss be used as a mixed sweeper

WHY does everyone think Hitmonlee will be using his Def? His SpD is quite good, but no one uses that. Use Close Combat, or else Hitmonlee just completely sucks:

Hitmonlee @ Choice Band/Life Orb
Jolly
252 Att/252 Spe/6 HP
Close Combat
Earthquake
Stone Edge
Mach Punch/Sucker Punch (only in Platinum)
 
Hmmm....maybe because any scizor + bullet punch would otherwise kill it without any EVs in defense?

And i am using his special des,otherwise he wouldt be EV'd in special defense.
 
What kind of pathetic argument IS that? Living a Bullet Punch from Scizor, only to do nothing back (bar Blaze Kick, which sucks) is not impressive. Hitmonlee is a hit-and-run Pokemon. It's not supposed to tank hits and keep sweeping. Max Att/Max Spe please.
 
I'm trying to make a good team using Ludicolo,Crobat,& Arcanine.Those are my favorite pokemon =)
I'm tired of those cliched OU teams.No Blissey,no Tyranitar.

Anything I can add to the 3 I already have?Movesets for the ones I listed would be appreciated...
(I was thinking Umbreon or Machamp?IDK)

Little cup I presume?

You're better joing and asking in smogon's forum for that, very few people here have a knowledge of how little cup works.

Btw Vance is correct on everything said about hitmonlee.
 
Im actually using him for a NFE team i was thinking about......i came up with something like this.

magby @ life orb
252 atk 252 spd 6 sp. def

substitute/protect
focus punch/brick break/cross chop
flare blitz/fire punch
?undecided?

i refuse to go to smogons forums,the people there are all stuck up jerks.
 
You do realise that magmar is also NFE and not UU/NU? Or does it have to be base form?

Anyway, magby's defences are too low, flare blitz's recoil will tear you apart very quickly. Go fire punch. Likewise subs off that thing will be abysmal, not really worth using. Protect is also a waste of a move slot, since magby's not really a scout. I used a CB Magmortar which was reasonably effective, so you could try that:

Magby@hoiceBand/Life Orb (Whichever floats your boat, although as before recoil is not gonna be kind)
Jolly
252Att/252Spd/6HP
Fire Punch
Brick Break/Cross Chop
Thunder Punch (Via Platinum Move Tutor)
Mach Punch
 
Yeah,its gotta be babies(magby,elkid,pichu etc.) thanks,ill test it asap.

hmmmm.....what would you suggest for a elekid?
 
I want to try out a mixed Electabuzz set for NU. Would this work?

Electabuzz @ Life Orb
Hasty
(????????)
Thunderbolt
Cross Chop
HP Grass
Ice Punch

Hits almost everything for neutral in UU, and notable hits things like Claydol, Quagsire, Gastrodon, etc... for super effective. Buzz also has a decent Base 105 Speed.
 
I actually kind of like this set. since you have an even balance here, I would go for more spa evs than atk evs to hit bulky waters harder (aka Quagsire and such) Consider T-Punch>>T-bolt for Mantine as well.
 
I got bored and randomly thought of ways to make garchomp better. would this work?

Garchomp @ liife orb
timid/jolly
120 atk 132 sp. atk 252 spd. 6 sp. def

fire fang/fire blast
earthquake
draco meteor/dragon claw
swords dance/dragon dance

it might sound retarded,but ive tried it,and its an absolute beast.

Unforunately, Garchomp is banned because it's uber and it doesn't get Dragon Dance.
 
I was wondering, on the premise of Platinum's metagame, what is a decent Blissey set? I've been looking at Smogon's sets and am disappointed in general with them. However, if needbe, I'll take one of them up.

Yes they are disappointing, since they contain no Seismic Toss. Which is sad as it looses to the metagame. I dont get why they changed it since it was fine before, all that needed changing where the outdated bold natures.


Blissey@Leftovers
252 DEF / 176 SP.DEF / 80 SP.ATT
Calm nature
Trait : Natural Cure
- Flamethrower / Ice Beam
- Seismic Toss
- Softboiled
- Thunderwave / Toxic


Toxic works best on stall teams. However Thunderwave is better otherwise. You can use Aromatherapy in either the first or last slots, but that generally sucks (As it wastes a turn and will become set up fodder when you can just use a rest talker for status =/).

Flamethrower hits Lucario, Heracross, Metagross and of course Scizor etc switch ins, whilst Ice Beam is still useful for namely being 4x super effective on Skymin and Salamence.


Blissey@Leftovers
252 DEF / 216 sp.def / 40 hp
Calm nature
Trait : Natural Cure
- Thunderwave / Toxic / Flamethrower / Ice Beam
- Seismic Toss
- Wish
- Softboiled / Protect

Wish Bliss is useful for team support. First slot is basically "pick your poison" based on what you want to her to do and hit. However, you must be careful of sub gar if you lack a special attack (who often carries Focus Punch). Softboiled is for instant healing because Blissey often finds herself after Wishing in a predicament, a physical threat will come in and try to set up on her, she then MUST Protect to heal herself (to activate said Wish) which = free dragon dance or whatever, or switch and go through the entire match without being able to heal herself. However Protect is still useful for scouting and saving her from powerful CB Pursuits. So its up to you.


If you use a sp.att, use the same ev spread as the first set.


Seismic Toss is Blisseys best change of raking up damage (Especially with SR/T-Spikes or Spikes) so its a prime option. And so it doesnt become fodder for these Calm Mind + Sub pokemon and things like Sub Torrent Petaya Empoleon.
