The Best Overall Team (Unofficial)

[Azonic]

Dang it, I missed alot. I'm in South Carolina, so computer time is limited to outside the hotel. If anyone can PM me updates, that would be helpful.

cool, I just moved into North Carolina 0.0;

A boltbeamer with a flying move, but we're going to run into weaknesses, thats where the trainers mind comes in. I don't think any boltbeamer will have the defenses to last against us.

I like the team but I'm wondering how my team would fair aganst it, all of a sudden. (even if my team consists of 9 pokemon cause I can't part with three.)

Porygon-Z, Slowbro and Starmie are very good bolt-beamers to watch.

 

[Waffle-San]

I was actually thinking of Porygon-Z but its pretty fragile.

 

[Azonic]

Scarfed Pory-Z can be a threat, along with Scarfed Mamo/cross

 

[Punishment]

Starmie usually carries the moves Surf/Thunderbolt/Rapid Spin/Recover so we dont have to worry about her being a beamer.

Btw the team gets my vote.

 

[Azonic]

I disagree since I barely see Rapid Spin Starmie and I always see it as a Surf/ bolt/beamer.

 

[Punishment]

I disagree since I barely see Rapid Spin Starmie and I always see it as a Surf/ bolt/beamer.

Sorry no offense but only the most inexperienced players would degrade the best Rapid Spinner into a mere special sweeper.

 

[Azonic]

Well, I'm just saying I never have seen many with Rapid Spin.

I personally HATE Starmie. I never use it, so...

 

[Vainz]

Im not to sure what we are trying to accomplish with this argument. What pokemon are we arguing over? Which one is on our team that you guys dont like?

 

[Azonic]

The fact we have a denting bolt-beamer weakness

 

[Shiraishi]

I turned my Starmie into a life orbing Sp sweeper..Whats wrong with that? :/ I have forretress for spinning ._.

 

[Waffle-San]

so do you like the team or not........and if not, what are you replacing.

 

[Vainz]

Exactly. If you plan to help, then tell us which pokemon we should replace, and what pokemon we should put in its place. Im guessing a steel type is the best at walling a bolt beamer.

 

[Waffle-San]

I can't help but look at the bolt beaming weakness and think if its really going to hurt us, with smart battling and the right MOVES, I think we're fine.

which leads me to say, Vainz do you think its time to start creating Movesets for those we havn't already yet.

 

[sims796]

No no no, this thread will not die. We can do movesets soon, Mr. May.

 

[Waffle-San]

Woo, thank you for reviving it, I've been waiting and waiting without trying to break the double posting rule.

 

[Azonic]

Well you could just delete your post and post it again. XD

Electric types wall starmie as a boltbeamer

 

[Angelic Diablo]

Not electric types, they don't resist Ice Beam

The ones that resist Boltbeam are Magnezone and Lanturn, both of which resist Ice Beam and Thunderbolt (also Magnezone resists Psychic and Lanturn resists Surf)

 

[Shiraishi]

When that happens to my Starmie, I predict an electric attack and switch out for electivire who goes on a rampage after that speed boost X.x Doing that with a ground type is risky because of HP becoming special..

 

[Azonic]

Not electric types, they don't resist Ice Beam

The ones that resist Boltbeam are Magnezone and Lanturn, both of which resist Ice Beam and Thunderbolt (also Magnezone resists Psychic and Lanturn resists Surf)

Most bolt-beamers are water types and Electric beats water and resists Electric.

Electivire beats water types, absorbs electric, and kills electric with EQ.

Magnezone sucks, x4 Ground weakness isn't fun. And its hell slow

 

[Angelic Diablo]

I was merely stating that total resistance to boltbeam is only lanturn and magnezone... I wasn't saying that other pokemon can't stop it dead
