Just a Quick Question please:

I'm currently making a Sandstorm team [OU] and have a glaringly obvious weakness to water, could anyone recommend a pokemon which could help?

Currently have Tyranboah, Shuckle, Forretress, Scizor. Was looking at Heatran, dugtrio etc but a half decent surf using pokemon is looking like it could full sweep my team :/

Quick Ideas anyone please?
 
Umm you do realize that ALL of your pokemon do not have to be immune to Sandstorm right on SS teams ? Making everything immune to it it a sure fire way to fail epically. 2/3 at most should be immune if that, heck it could be just T-Tar + 5 random things. Vary your types as you would with any normal team.
 
I'm planning on Baton Passing several Calm Minds (Nasty Plot would work better, but I don't plan on breeding another shiny Togekiss) to my shiny Cherrim along with sunlight and, if possible, a substitute. Now, would I get more mileage out of Togekiss or Mr. Mime? Would it be about the same? Don't worry about tiering, either. This is primarily for personal use.

First off, bright powder AND Double Team are banned, as they break the evasion clause in competitve battling. That, and Power Trick seriously fails. Use the standard one

Shuckle@Leftovers
Gluttony
Impish Nature
252 HP/208 Def/48 SpD

  • Encore
  • Rest
  • Knock Off/Stealth Rock
  • Toxic/Stealth Rock
 
Eek Help [UU]

Me and some friends have decided to have a Under Used battle tournament.
Me being a major OU person, haven't the faintest idea how to make a UU team very well.
So please help, all aspects appreciated! =3

Resistance Team Anyone?? HELP!

EDIT: Is Clefable a good choice with its resistance(to 0% so i guess immune) to in-direct attacks? or did i misread that effect? (No Physical Damage right?)

Togekiss has more all-around bulk and will probably get you more solid passes in.

Uhhh, wrong Q&A thread. This one is for competitive battling, not ROM hacking :O

Well, you've only provided one pokemon for your team, and we can't really build a team for you, as it would be quite counter-productive if you didn't like what someone suggested. You should have some idea about who you want to use before asking for help.

And Clefable only takes damage from direct attacks. So its immune to stuff like sandstorm, hail, poison and burn.
 
So does it take damage from special attacks like Water Pulse cause its not direct...

and actually i had like 6 but they are 2 slow according to others....

(Rotom, Drapion, Gallade, Ludicolo, Heatran, and Flygon)

I also don't want OUs or Ubers or BLs at all if possible so that also is bad

Yes, it takes all direct damage, as in damage from any type of attack, physical or special.
 
Ok well can you suggest any non-OU, Uber, or BL Resistance pokemon? If they are good but are OU or BL thats ok too but meh.
 
Maybe it would help if you defined "resistance pokemon". Pokemon that have alot of resistance pokemon when used together or what ?

Anyways, Magnezone + Gyarados/Salamence resist every attacking type in the game iirc when used together. Celebi + Heatran resist alot too.

Heracross@Life Orb
Jolly Nature (+Speed, - Sp.Att)
252 Attack / 252 speed / 6 hp
Trait : Guts
- Swords Dance
- Close Combat
- Megahorn
- Stone Edge

2 Moves of the same type on each set = fail unless they server different purposes ENTIRELY. Aka Ice Shard for Priority + Ice Punch for Power on weavile.

Stone Edge has better coverage than Aerial Ace and hits fliers.

Use jolly,the ability to outspeed Gyarados and most Mixmence and things like neutral lucario is too great to pass up.

Levels are irrelevant because its assumed all your pokes are level 100.

Things that are solo and having like 0% and 25% of damage or even 50% but i don't want OU or Uber or BL
 
what is the best SD lucario counter even after a sword dance ?

Well Salamence and to a lesser extent Gyarados check it thanks to intimidate and resistance to fighting just be careful of stone edge and ice punch (the former), along with Gengar because no one uses Bullet Punch anymore on Luke. A 216 speed jolly Gliscor can do it too because of its bulk. Nidoqueen works without Ice Punch, Weezing can do a decent job i guess, but is kinda meh otherwise. A faster Rotom is nifty to have around too. Spiritomb can burn it for something else. Scarfers such as Heatran, Metagross, Magnezone <insert scarfed steel> mess it up too being resistant to ES stop it sweeping additionally via either switching in on the SD or just plain revenge kill it.

308 speed or scarfed Fire Punch Jirachi is cool too being faster and resistant to Extremespeed or Jirachi can just plain sub on it so it lowers its own defenses with CC and you can then OHKO with Psychic. A faster HP Fire/Fight or Earth Power Celebi works nicely, if you ev it to OHKO and survive to hit. Specs Luke can revenge SD LUke too ironically thanks to vacuum wave.

Overall Lucario doesnt have many counters, but plenty of stuff that can revenge kill or plain just check it.
