Request an Individual Moveset / Incomplete Team Help Thread

[SmashBrony]

Honestly all of them work fine as Wolflare said. A personal favourite of mine is Swampert because its reliable, it really depends on your team. If you can tell us a little more of your team we can help you pick a good lead ;D

The only one I chosed for sure in my team:
Vaporeon @ Leftovers
Nature: Modest
EVs: 188 Def/ 252 SpA/ 68 Spe
Fake Tears
Wish
Surf
Ice Beam
This hits hard & give my team wish support, which is excellent, considering
I'm using my pokemon defense to switch them around, to make it easier to
use their offense to start/keep my sweep.
Now, I'm considering Metagross as my lead, as now I got a Water-type,
& it hits harder than Jirachi, I belive...

I recently trained up a Bronzong as my team needed a support/stealth rocker who can actually take a few decent hits. I have enjoyed using him to a certain extent so far but many of the sample movesets i have seen for him usually contain hypnosis which missed 10 times in a row for me earlier.....so i am 100% dropping it as i would rather not put things down to complete chance.
I am also not interested with trick or trick room. (my team are pretty fast anyway)

So far i have came up with this, please tell me what you think and if you can help fill in the gaps for other possible moves i could give it.

Bronzong@leftover?
Sassy
Levitate
252hp / 86 Attack / 80 Defense / 96 Special Defense
Stealth Rock
Explosion
Hypnosis
Gyro Ball / Earthquake

Thanks in advance.

Changes in bold, this set will be the most effective. Use 0 Speed IVs if you're running Gyro Ball. Hypnosis is also an option.

Just a quick one - Is it possible to Baton Pass the effects of Magnet Rise?

 

[Demo123]

Yes, as far as I am aware.

Anybody have any good ideas for a good UU counter to shaymin land form? (assuming it packs air slash)

Crobat's probably the best (if Shaymin lacks Psychic, of course).

 

[Dark Azelf]

Crobat's probably the best (if Shaymin lacks Psychic, of course).

^ This.

Moltres, Altaria (watch for HP Rock and Ice) and max hp/max sp.def Calm Roserade work too (Never 2hko'd by LO Air Slash). Also Regice lol

Swellow, Scarf Honchkrow and Scarf Roserade/Venusaur can check/revenge kill it too.

 

[Xairmo]

Are there any good Annoyers in the new metagame?

Great, thanks guys. I'm going to try out a few and post an RMT with the team later.

 

[CCBacara]

According to https://www.pokemon.marriland.com/platinum/pokedex/alakazam/ can't learn Hypnosis or any other moves that put Pokemon to sleep...yet he has the chance to learn a ton of moves that require Pokemon to be asleep, like Dream Eater. Why is that?

Kind of killing my idea for how to use him in battle.

 

[SoulRed12]

Probably for 2-on-2 battles. I.E. Zam uses reflect to keep him and his team mate smeargle alive, smeargle uses dark void, next turn zam can use dream eater.

 

[Gimmy]

I need a double battle parnter for my Dragonite, I'm going to face my friend later and I need a UU or if theres nothing else better, OU to go with Dragonite. Heres its info;

Dragonite - Adamant
Fire Punch, Dragon Claw, Aqua Tail and Earthquake.

I'm mainly looking for anything that will cover what Dragonite cant. I know I might have to get rid of Dragonites Earthquake too.

Thanks in advance.

 

[RosaSunglasses.]

is really skarmbliss tactic that great ?

 

[Dark Azelf]

is really skarmbliss tactic that great ?

Not really it needs a hack of alot of support to even work, usually takes all 6 slots to wall/deal with the other stuff that skarmbliss cant handle.

Sure it can wall some stuff but really no not anymore.

 

[RosaSunglasses.]

dark azelf so would you you think using a swampert with bliss as a replacement would do better than skarm ? or do you have any other pokemons in mind ?

 

[templekeeper]

I've got a (shiny) Chimchar with a 31 in Attack, Special Attack, and Speed. It's Rash, so do I make it a pure Special Attacker (with other EVs in Speed), or would a mix set be more effective since it does have a high Attack stat to take advantage of? It's not for any particular team, by the way-

Rofl I can't read XD

EDIT: Mixed Infernape usually wants naive or hasty so it can use its good speed. Even if it's a pure special attacker, it still wants a speed boosting nature :O

Incomplete Team Advice [OU]

I'm sorry, I think I posted in the wrong section originally. I read over the rules but missed it :/ sorry, I'm new and I just wanted some unfinished team help that's all.

Oh well I'll write it out again;

Basically, I'm new to both this forum and online battling and just wanted some advice on getting good type coverage throughout my team. I have currently come up with 4 members, however I'm struggling for the last two. Here it is:

Gengar (Sp. Sweeper)

Scizor (Phy. Attacker)

Tyranitar (Phy. Attacker)

Shuckle (Staller, mixed wall)

I was possibly thinking of another wall and possibly another sweeper, such as foretress and magnezone. I currently have no resistances to water, electric and rock and this is obviously a problem.

I understand how IVs/EVs etc work so but didnt include them as I guess its in it's early stage of development.

I have also got a sandstorm team going (minus gengar but he's my fav), so possibly continuing that theme. And if you also think replacing my above team members would be beneficial please suggest.

Any help would be Greatly appreciated, sorry for the long message and i hope its in the right place this time :/
