[Shiny Umbreon]

For Swellow, doesn't Burn decrease your Attack? It's a bit contradictory. =/

 

[Shiraishi]

Guts cancels out burn's effect ^_^

I don't feel like rating the whole team but if a Heatran can switch into a Flare blitz it's gg.

 

[Live in Color]

For Infernape here's my moveset, and he does pretty darn good.

Infernape @ Life Orb
EVs: 252 Att, 252 Spd, 6 HP
Blaze
Jolly
-Fire Punch
-Thunderpunch
-U-Turn
-Close Combat

U-Turn to get a hit on those psychic switch ins. And then leave... xD It's been working really well for me.

 

[flamehaze94]

I've never seen such a Heatran weak team in my life =0


What exactly is Flamethower on CB Ape going to do? Flare Blitz clearly outdamages it.

Trace>Synchronize on Gardy.

Any and all forms of Tyranitar rape this team btw.

 

[Samson]

well heatran is not that big of a prob. gardevoir with trace walls it quite nicely. that gardevoir set is atrocious though.

 

[Rukario1]

Whats for Running Return on Swellow ...? Facade is so much better with Guts + Stab.

 

[Jimmyray]

For Infernape here's my moveset, and he does pretty darn good.

Infernape @ Life Orb
EVs: 252 Att, 252 Spd, 6 HP
Blaze
Jolly
-Fire Punch
-Thunderpunch
-U-Turn
-Close Combat

U-Turn to get a hit on those psychic switch ins. And then leave... xD It's been working really well for me.

I use

Infernape@Life Orb
252 Atk 252 Spd 6 HP
Blaze
Jolly Nature (+Spd -Sp.Atk)
Fire Punch
Thunderpunch
Close Combat
Fake Out << Can do a lot of damage with Life Orb.

For your team, I think Ice Beam would go better on Articuno than HP Flying, and perhaps Haze in there somewhere. Brave Bird over Aerial Ace and Facade over Return for Swellow, and I think it's best to put Thunder wave on your Gardevoir, then drop the Speed EVs for Sp.Def EVs.

 

[evilcheese]

ok flamethrower is for skarm obviuosley. with stab its ok. plus flare blitz is too much recoil.

ill put facade on swellow.

and if anyone can give me a gardevoir set or a special sweeper that would go with this team nicely then that would be cool.

 

[Live in Color]

Why have a mixed Infernape to lower all attacks potential damage just for a Skarmory. To have maximum attack and then Fire Punch is great. And you might want to consider Life Orb instead of Choice Band for those switch outs, if you can predict good, then Infernape will be amazing.

I'd suggest trading Gardevoir for Azelf.

Azelf @ Expert Belt
EVs: 252 Sp. Att, 252 Spd, 6 HP
Levitate
Timid
-Nasty Plot
-Flamethrower
-Psychic
-HP Fighting

Works excellent for me.

 

[Anti]

ok flamethrower is for skarm obviously. with stab its ok. plus flare blitz is too much recoil.

Better idea: Switch out! Besides, Skarm rarely switches in on Infernape since it's mostly run mixed. Once they figure out it's CBed, outpredict them...

ill put facade on swellow.

and if anyone can give me a gardevoir set or a special sweeper that would go with this team nicely then that would be cool.

Also, what in the world is HP fighting doing on Cressi? HP Flying is lol on Articuno when you have Ice Beam to work with...I don't know about you, but I find killing dragons fun :(

Also, leading with that infernape is a bad idea...Hippo is even more common than Gyarados and it will plain destroy you.

Spikes over SR on Forry...then again, you don't have a ghost to block rapid spin, so w/e

252 HP / 96 Def / 160 SDef --> Better Articuno EVs. I've used a lot of spreads, this works the best for me...

Could you please tell me how you plan to take stone edge from Choice Band Tyranitar? you don't have a rock resist...and that will give you trouble. Aero poses the same threat, though Forry actually has a shot at beating it out. then again, you lack gyro ball and a 50% chance to kill Aero isn't great. Doesn't matter though, as your Forry can't recover off damage and repeated switch-ins will wear it down too much.

Heracross will destroy you if Cress or Forry goes down. If you lose Cress, it can just close combat you to high heavens. If you lose Forry, Megahorn will just eat your team alive.

Eh, SpecsTres, though uncommon, will tear your team apart.

When using articuno, you need something to sponge Fire hits from the likes of heatran, or you get destroyed.

 

[Dark Azelf]

Infernape (♂) @ Choice Band
Ability: Blaze
EVs:252 ATT /252 Spd/ 6 HP
Jolly nature
- Close Combat
- Thunderpunch
- Flare Blitz / Fire Punch / Blaze Kick
- Stone Edge

Errm wtf with EQ, it does nothing for Ape, Stone Edge Plesh or Salamence says hi !!

Physical fire move, Skarm wont switch in on a Flare Blitz, Fire Punch or Blaze kick becasue it gets raped

Gardevoir (♂) @ Leftovers
Ability: Trace
EVs:252 HP / 48 SpA / 176 Sp.D / 32 Spe
Modest nature (+SAtk, -Atk)
- Wish / Thunderwave / Hypnosis / Will-o-wisp
- Wish/ Thunderwave / Hypnosis / Will-o-wisp
- Psychic
- Thunderbolt / Shadow Ball / Focus Blast

Eww Gardy is more support and is defensive.

Why do people insist to Scarf Gardevoir and Gallade =/ Its a waste.
---
Swellow (♂) @ Flame Orb
Ability: Guts
EVs: 6 HP/252 Atk/252 Spd
Jolly nature (+Spd, -SAtk)

Ability: Levitate
EVs:252 HP / 108 DEF / 148 SP.DEF
Bold nature
- Reflect
- REST
- Ice Beam / Psychic / Thunderwave
- Charge Beam

Taunt Gyarados says hi to this, Taunt Gyarados doesnt say hi to celebi due to it getting 2hko'd by Grass Knot and it has 100 base sp.att., Cress cant touch Gyarados without Charge Beam., big difference

Rest >>>>>> Moonlight due to Hippowdon and T-Tar wrecking Moonlight with Sandstream, and you have Heal bell support.

Forretress (♂) @ Leftovers
Ability: Sturdy

Articuno @ Leftovers

Calm nature (+SDef, -Atk)
- Heal Bell
- Roar
- Ice Beam
-roost

Yeah but Ice beam is better.
---

Changes are in bold

Yeah, you are kind of gengar weak. And nothing on this team can really do much to Mixpert.

Metal Sound Heatran really does dent you, as does Scarf heatran if it gets a flash fire boost and gardevoir is dead.

Also as previously stated, ALL forms of t-tar go hi.

 

[evilcheese]

ok ima replace gardevoir for gar.

replace cressy for suicune.

and since nobody likes my inferanpe ill just run regular mixape.

I still have no clue why you insist on him being mixed... Infernape would be better as just Physical or Special, not mixed. If someone comes in that is defensive, and you're physical, just switch out. It's as simple as that.

 

[flamehaze94]

MixApe's just the prefered moveset.
SD Infernape is actually the biggest Infernape threat, it's just people don't realize dat.

 

[Angelic Diablo]

NPApe with Close Combat is my fave, Nasty Plot up, Blissey comes in and BAM! Close Combat sends that thing bolting

Infernape@Life Orb/Focus Sash

[evilcheese]

ok now i nticed im bolt weak can anyone help me out with that?

 

[Skaterzpenguin]

I like your team, but get rid of flamethrower on your infernape and add fire blast or flare blitz. As for your articuno don't teach it roar, because there is no point for using that move unless you have some stragety up your sleeve that works...

The term "PHazing" comes to mind :/ Read up on pokemon before giving advice plz.

For the Bolt weak, just get a resist :0

 

[evilcheese]
