[Bakuzen]

can beries wipe out EV's completely? or only back to 100?

 

[Eisen]

okay, since I'm new to this whole strategy thing in the game, I would like to ask:

What the Hell is EV and STAB?

 

[PowerFreak09]

So, here's my team. It's pretty much a compilation of pokes and strategies I've seen, so please, feel free to comment and tell me your thoughts. Here it is:

Ninjask@Leftovers
Jolly, Speed Boost
252 atk, 252 speed, 4 hp(?)
-swords dance
-substitute
-X-scissor
-baton pass

Charizard@Life Orb
Adamant, Blaze
252 atk, 252 speed, 4 hp
-rock slide
-earthquake
-flare blitz
-aerial ace

Swampert@Leftovers
Careful, Torrent
252 hp, 58 def, 200 spD
-curse
-waterfall
-avalanche
-earthquake

Absol@Choice Scarf
Rash, Super Luck
200 speed, 180 atk, 130 spA
-fire blast
-ice beam
-X-scissor
-night slash

Blissey@Leftovers
Bold, Serene Grace
252 hp, 252 def
-thunderwave
-stealth rock
-softboiled
-seismic toss/return(I don't know how to teach Blissey seismic toss)

Azelf@I'm not sure yet...ideas? I was thinking focus sash?
Modest, Leftovers
252 spA, 252 speed, 4...idk, either hp or spD
-explosion
-grass knot
-psychic
-nasty plot

That's what I have(as you can see, it's not complete). It's also just a foundation team, a springboard to help me think of better teams and
Strategies. Again, feel free to post ur thoughts.

Thanks!

 

[Soccerryle]

Not essential.There are other good sets.


Don't say Gengar is predictable, then tell me to use Electivire.

>_>

Anyway, Might as well get some help. I got a Kick@$$ Bulbasaur egg, How does this sound?

Anyway, I need help with Venusaur.
Bulbasaur Egg: Calm - 18/x/31/31/31/x

Imma use it as a Mixed Wall(ish). Here's my Ideas.

Calm Venusaur @ Leftovers
252 HP / 80 Def / 176 SpD

I checked out PsyPoke's Damage Calculator. Venusaur could survive a Psychic from Alakazam w/ that HP Spread / SpD Spread. This is a Timid Alakazam, Max SpA.

If a Modest Zam comes up, I'm also prepared. A max Modest Zam would do 312 Max. A Venusaur w/ a 0 HP IV and 252 EVs is 333. That's why I like 176 for thhe SpD Spread.

With 80 EVs in Def, Venusaur can survive a max Adamant Weavile's Ice Punch with 11 HP to Spare.

Anyway, Now for the Moves

I was thinking of Roar, Since I need a Phaser on my Team. Grass Knot to Attack. Leech Seed to Stall. Sleep Powder for Status.

If anything is light weighted, and resistant to Grass Moves, Roar it away. Leech Seed to sap HP Away. Sleep Powder to give you a chance to set up, because unless they're Chesto/Lum'd, they will more than likely, switch.

Anyway, Here are my questions:

~ Is that a good EV Spread?
~ How is the Moveset?

Thanks Again Guys!

Well since my thread hasn't been allowed up yet, I'm just going to ask here. I'm trying to build a team that's as good as possible with as many of my favorite pokemon in it as possible.

[x=low priority/want]
[xx=mid priority]
[xxx=Must have or want in team greatly]

x - Gengar
xx - Dusclops
xx - Altaria
xxx - Rayquaza
xxx - Aggron
xxx - Cacturne
x - Cradily
x - Gardevoir
x - Metagross

I was hoping to build a team with 2 steels/rocks, a ghost, Rayquaza, Cacturne, and Altaria (Most likely Aggron, Cradily, Dusclops, Rayquaza, Cacturne, and Altaria)

Please give me ANY suggestions if one or two different pokemon/ones not listed would make a huge difference, and I will take them into consideration.

okay, since I'm new to this whole strategy thing in the game, I would like to ask:

What the Hell is EV and STAB?

STAB = Same Type Attack Bonus
EV = Effort Value

For more on EVs look at the "Compiled Guides" sticky (second post), it should tell you everything about EVs.

Use Dusknoir over Dusclops first. Rayquaza is banned for being one of the strongest Pokemon in the game. The rest can be usable I guess, depends on what movesets you use for them, and how they are used.

Well first off, I am talking in terms of Ruby/Sapphire. Second, I don't plan on battling anyone IRL anytime soon, as I use an emulator.

Then it does not matter if this in-game. You can pick anything you want, and just level to when you are in a bad situation. You could have an entire team of Magikarp (with Tackle of course), and possibly beat the game if you level enough. Competitive battling is for Wi-Fi or Shoddy, not for in-game.

Well I know. More than anything, I'm just trying to get an overall feel for the strategies of the game to prepare me for when I can play other people.

 

[Johnny590]

What move is better for my Garchomp, excluding Outrage; Draco Meteor or Dragon Rush?

 

[Dark Azelf]

What's better for my Garchomp, excluding Outrage; Draco Meteor or Dragon Rush?

Why not Outrage ? It is probably one of the best moves in the game. The other two moves honestly suck, Outrage is the superior option always. :/

Ahhh, whatever. :P

can you tell me what shoddy actually is

Shoddy is an online battle stimulator, download link can be found here, it is basically what everyone uses to battle. Usually more convenient for people who don't have Wi-Fi, or just lags too much (me >.<).

any way i dont think its fair that vaporeon and jolteon are so good while flareon isnt

Something you can blame Game Freak about. ;)

can i please have a set fore flareon please i would post one myself but i have to go now goodbye.

Depends on what set specifics you want, majority of his movesets can be found here.

ok well like others said, in game you can have anything and itll work. If you want to get a feel for the strategies look at some of the RMT threads and see how teams are made and work.

Also your thread wasnt put up because you can only make threads with a complete team for competitive battleing here.

 

[Dark Azelf]

Well I know. More than anything, I'm just trying to get an overall feel for the strategies of the game to prepare me for when I can play other people.

Nothing ingame can prepere you for facing other people, its so totally diferent i cant even begin to describe, id look here.

 

[Eisen]

I always liked outrage. It is a very good move, especially if you give the user a persim berry.

I have another question. Is Fire Red/Leaf green and/or diamond/pearl/platinum better than R/S?

 

[FreakyLocz14]

can beries wipe out EV's completely? or only back to 100?

One berry reduces the EVs down to 100 if it had more than 100 EVs, any berrier after that lower it by 10 EVs so you need 11 berries total wipe the EVs out completely and start from scratch.

 

[pinkpanther8u]

about how long does it take to ev train so that all the evs are included in the poke's stats?
