Um, yeah, starting competitive battling, 6 losses 0 wins. How's the Team? I do 3 on 3.
Emboar :
Flamethrower
Flare Blitz
Heat Crash
Head Smash
Volcarona
Heat Wave
Bug Buzz
Silver Wind
Quiver Dance
Ditto
Transform
I do Level50 single battles.
To be honest not fantastic.
First you have two fire types, what is essential especially in 3 on 3 battles is diversity and coverage. You definitely want to switch at least one out for a different type, also probably get rid of ditto completely.
Emboar, you have 3 fire type moves, that's bad, Emboar has fantastic attack but not very good Sp. Attack so remove the special fire type moves. Head Smash while dealing incredible damage also gives half recoil which is far too risky to run in competitive battling.
I suggest
- Heat Crash OR Flare Blitz
- Earthquake
- Hammer Arm
- Wild Charge
Running Scald may not be a bad idea either it has enough Special Attack to make use of it.
Volcarona. I assume you haven't reached level 100 for Fiery Dance yet, but when you do it is essential.
For now your Volcarono should know
Heat Wave
Quiver Dance
Bug Buzz
The last is your choice but I suggest either, Psychic, Solar Beam (Only if you're running Sunny Day on something else) Hurricane (level 90) or Hidden Power Grass.
Ditto is an interesting idea, but most often a bad choice. If by chance your opponent does have one move to counter themselves in battle and you send out a ditto, they know they have one extra set up move while you use transform. Your Ditto is going to have a bad time. It is highly recommended to ditch ditto for something else
Quick question for anyone that can assist me -
I have been spending the last few days learning as much as I can about EV training, I previously knew nothing, but now feel like I understand it, but I have one question
I have bred a LV1 Elekid, and want to start EV training it, but there's one thing I can't find an answer to anywhere
If I battle a Pokemon that gives ATK EV's (Which is what I want) and my Elekid gains multiple levels in the same battle, will it still only gain 1 EV from the battle? or will the number increase based on the amount of levels he gains from that one fight?
Yes your Elekid will only gain the amount of EVs that the Pokemon you battled yields.
Example, you battle a Machop level 80 you send in Elekid level 1 and switch to something stronger (naturally).
Your Elekid grows 29 levels say, but only 1 attack EV is given.
