    I want to create a second-generation team for the Battle Tower, though I could use some assistance with it. My thoughts:

    Vulpix
    Item: (the herb that prevents stat loss)
    Fire Blast
    Overheat
    Confuse Ray
    ?

    Absol
    Item: Chesto (?) berry (one that rids of sleep condition)
    Swords Dance
    Rest
    Double-Edge or Return
    Shadow Ball

    Undecided third pokemon, though I was thinking of a Water/Ice-type (Walrein) or a Water/Electric (Lanturn).

    Oh thank you! ^__^ Well, I was thinking about Ninetails...Fire Blast is more powerful than Flamethrower, but I guess that works. As for Will-o-wisp, Flamethrower already has a chance of burning, doesn't it? No arguments for Absol. I like the movesets on Walrein and Lanturn...now to decide who to use.

    So...this lineup can actually be successful in the Battle Tower...?

    The chance is only 10% though. Burn is very helpful as it halves the foe's attack. The 75% chance of Wil-o-wisp makes it very effective.

    Yes, that is why will-o-wisp is on there

    Burn is a really effective status ailment on your opponent.

    The team can have a good chance in battle tower, you just have to know which moves to use and what pokemon to use.

    It's called Salamence. That is off topic though, please Private Message him for personal questions like that.

    That'd be great! I still haven't come up with a set team, though. My Blaziken is the only guaranteed member, and none of my Pokemon have reached lv. 100. They're not even close >.<
