Alright, after making this team on Netbattle, I started trying to catch and raise these guys on my Blue version for competative battling with my friends. It took me a while to come up with the lineup, but I'm always up to suggestions!
-Hypnosis
-Mega Drain
-Thunderbolt
-Explosion
Comments: Well...It's Gengar. I found him useful with the fastest Hypnosis and great Special. I kinda wish Ghost attacks were Special, so he had
some sort of STAB, but whatever. He does tons of damage with Thunderbolt/Mega Drain and can really put a hurting on things with Explosion (I want to keep this a surprise for when my friends bring in their Chansey).
-Thunderbolt
-Ice Beam
-Thunder Wave
-Softboiled
Comments: This thing is almost impossible to kill, and Softboiled only makes it harder to stop. Ironically, this pink beast has more Special than Starmie, meaning it
hits harder than one of the most common threats in RBY. I know a lot of my friends are proud of their Alakazams and such, heh, I doubt they'll be pleased with a fast Pokemon such as Alakazam being paralysed.
-Psychic
-Thunder Wave
-Recover
-Seismic Toss
Comments: Alakazam only learns one special move: Psychic. Even so, Psychic coming off the highest non-uber (Mewtwo) Special is nothing to scoff at, as even Chansey does not like critical hits or being paralysed. Seismic Toss is to rack up damage even after Psychic's PP is depleted (and with only 16 uses of it, that is more common than not). Recover is godly on this guy, as he can come back from the stickiest situations and keep on fighting.
-Blizzard
-Body Slam
-Thunderbolt
-Hyper Beam
Comments: OMG WTF VANCE? HYPER BEAM? SPECIAL ATTACKS ON GYARADOS? LOL NOOB. Honestly, I'd agree if this wasn't RBY. First of all, Gyarados's Special in RBY is Base 100, in other words, equal to Starmie's, who's it very high. Hyper Beam is a Base 150 physical attack in RBY, making it stronger than anything Gyarados has. It also doesn't lock you into it if you kill the opponent, or if you break a Sub/Miss. Blizzard has 90% accuracy, making it very usable. Thunderbolt hits the common Water switch ins on Gyarados such as Lapras and Starmie harder than anything else. Body Slam is there for paralysis.
-Substitute
-Earthquake
-Rock Slide
-Body Slam
Comments: Rhydon is the best Zapdos counter in the entire game, and it's not a bad check for Chansey either (although Ice Beam 2HKOs the poor rock golem). Substitute because Rhydon is slow as hell, and so I guarantee at least *1* kill (though I hope a beast with 358 Attack can kill more than 1 thing).
-Hyper Beam
-Body Slam
-Earthquake
-Blizzard
Comments: Simply put, Tauros rocks. High critical hit ratio combined with its excellent Speed and STAB make it a supreme finisher. Blizzard is for those Golem and Rhydon who are oh so annoying! Body Slam for paralysis and then I can quickly finish off whatever comes in with that lovely, but suicidal Hyper Beam.
NOTE THIS IS A COMPETATIVE TEAM FOR NETBATTLE AS WELL. ANY COMMENTS LIKE "MAGIKARP CAN SWEEP IN GAME!" AND I WILL HYPER BEAM YOUR THROAT.
