Any comments, ratings, further improvements?

 

[El Gofre]

Is this an in-game or wifi team? I cant tell which you plan on using it in

 

[airconditioning]

It burns my eyes. Hyper Beam? Flash? Palkia? Please tell me this is only in-game, and that you still haven't beaten the Elite Four.

 

[El Gofre]

Thats why i want to know, i have a detailed list of why this fails should it be wifi. The quote "owns ass" intrigues me lol

 

[Spiritfire]

Fine, I removed that comment. I use some of my Pokemon as an annoyer you know. This isn't a Wifi team since I cant trade to get an Alazkazam. Wi-Fi teams are mostly Special/Physical sweepers, right?

 

[El Gofre]

Well thats annother thing to add to the list
So is it in-game or wifi?

 

[Spiritfire]

It's an in-game team. With all the good TM's and Pokemon a person can get in the Sinnoh region, these are Pokemon you can catch early from the start. Crobat and Roserade don't need to be traded.

 

[El Gofre]

Oh well if its in game its gonna own ass, anything owns ass in game. That's hardly an achievement.

 

[airconditioning]

If it's ingame, then we don't need to bother rating it. A level 100 Magikrap can win ingame, so this team is hardly an accomplishment.

Wi-Fi teams are mostly Special/Physical sweepers, right?

Nope, not even close. Wi-Fi teams are balanced, with a good selection of offensive and defensive Pokes that cover each other's weaknesses.

 

[Shiny Umbreon]

I'm not sure if in-game teams should go here but team advice go in S&M.

-MOVED-

 

[Spiritfire]

OK, I added why I chose these Pokemon. Just for fun... :D

 

[El Gofre]

A) Lol at hyper beam and Fly. 2 turn moves are epic fail
B)Lol at item choice. Razor claw is hax and items that boost one kind of move are fail
C)Lol at flash being use, it relies on luck and is also hax
D)Lol at the use of ubers, again this is hax
E)Lol at the lack of EVs, natures, walls and pretty much any tactical knowledge

 

[airconditioning]

Like we said, it doesn't make any difference. In-game is way too easy to bother making a real team to combat it, and thus, too easy to bother rating a team to combat it.

Also, everything Gofre said.

 

[Dark Azelf]

Also just to add, id advise reading the stickies at the top, they will help loads.

 

[Spiritfire]

Jeez, lol, fine: I'll look for a team to compete against Wi-Fi tournaments. Anyway, Sweepers are good in single battles. But at least one Annoyer gets the advantage in double battles. I think in single battles the obvious strategy would be to make the annoyer be in the lead, use a single status-effecting move, and then switch out to a sweeper immediately.

Well... not exactly. First off, nobody plays Double Battles, so I'll steer clear of that topic.

Sweepers are good in single battles. So are walls, tanks, Baton Passers, and everyone else- that's the reason they're used.

As for your strategy... it's not that simple. Statusing on turn one isn't a bad idea, but switching to a sweeper afterwards kind of is. The Poke you status could easily hit your sweeper on the switch, leaving you down one Poke, and at a disadvantage. Anyway, it's more that there a multitude of strategies to use in battles- you have to adjust them based on the situation.

 

[Spiritfire]

I like status-effecting moves such as Stun Spore because it is a win or lose situation for both players. All I have to do is to hope I get lucky and I grab the advantage right away. The move I like throughout Pokemon history was Confuse Ray. Even though it's based on luck, it helps a lot.

I heard there was an item that boosts accuracy for only 1 move like Sheer Cold. What was it again?

That would supposedly be Wide Lens.It boosts all the moves in a moveset.Not just 1 move.

I'm not saying status moves are bad- they're awesome, and are almost essential on any team. There's no way I could live without my Will-o-Wisp Dusknoir or my Toxic Blissey. Confuse Ray, however, is too luck-based to really be great. It's nice to stack onto other statuses, though.

And yes, the acc. boosting item is Wide Lens- it raises accuracy of all moves by 10% of the original acc. rate. However, for Sheer Cold, it only changes the 30% hit rate to 33%. In addition, Sheer Cold is a OHKO move, which are banned on Wi-Fi.

Here's the team I raised in Diamond/Pearl without trading any Pokemon... (Images uploaded to Photobucket)



1. INFERNAPE (Razor Claw) | Type = Fire Fighting | Purpose = Physical Sweeper, Starter Pokemon

- Flamethrower
- Close Combat
- Earthquake
- Hyper Beam
This thing would just epically fail.Why? Hyper Beam is suicide because while it's "recharging" a pokemon could just walk in and kill it with a move like Surf.Razor Claw has no use in Wi-Fi either.


2. ROSERADE (Miracle Seed) | Type = Grass Poison | Purpose: Annoyer, Grass, Pokemon-catching status harasser

- Sludge Bomb
- Giga Drain
- Flash
- Stun Spore
No.Sludge Bomb has horrible type coverage and Giga Drain is weak and really bad.You should at least get Energy Ball to kill something like Gastrodon.Flash is trash and it misses quite often for me so get something like HP Fire to kill Steel Types.


3. CROBAT (Poison Barb) | Type = Poison Flying | Purpose: Physical Sweeper, Flyer

- X Scissor
- Poison Fang
- Fly
- Giga Drain
Poison Fang is no.Give it Cross Poison by using a Heart Scale and give it to the move relearner in Pastoria City and Giga Drain should be replaced by something that's physical.


4. LUXRAY (Magnet) | Type = Electric Dark | Purpose: Phyiscal Sweeper, Electricity

- Thunderbolt
- Scary Face
- Return
- Crunch
Return stinks,first of all.Replace it with Ice Fang so you can kill Dragon Types like Garchomp.Scary Face can be replaced with something else like Roar if possible.

5. BRONZONG (Light Clay) | Type = Steel Psychic | Purpose: Suicider, Team Defensive bot Pokemon, Staller

- Light Screen
- Reflect
- Explosion
- Flash
This is in need of dire help.Having both screens is unnecessary so take one of them and replace it with Gyro Ball.Flash is again, trash and it could miss and the accuracy loss is sort of luck so it's unreliable.


6. PALKIA (Lustrous Orb) | Type = Water Dragon | Purpose: Legendary, Dragon-killer, Staller

- Spacial Rend
- AncientPower
- Ice Beam
- Surf
How does this thing stall?Ancientpower is eww,and Ice Beam also gets walled by steels.Change those into something like Earth Power at level 60 so it can faint things like steel types and Flamethrower to kill Grass Types.

Any comments, ratings, further improvements?


Oops, this thread should have gone in the other forum...

If you're using this team for Wi-Fi then you need to scrap this whole team and start a new team all over by breeding and making eggs with natures.Ah,and give natures and EVs next time.
