Here I am again. This is for the Battle Frontier in Heartgold. I’m still not thinking too much about team formation yet (which is why I’ve got so many Leftovers)but I would appreciate some item reccomendations other than Leftovers. I have access to move tutors in Emerald and Leafgreen. I’m open to other options for better pokemon, but I don’t have a second ds or easy access to wi-fi, so no Magmortar/Electivire . @Leftovers Careful–Sturdy 129Atk, 129 Def, 252 Sp Def Spikes Rock slide Earthquake Explosion You have to bear with me, since this is my first spiker set. The idea is to set up a few spikes, then just sweep until it looks like I’m about to be beat, then explode, or switch out if I come against a strong special sweeper. @occa berry Adamant–Technician 252 Atk, 129 Def, 129 Sp Def Swords Dance Bug Bite Iron Head Brick Break Technician here boosts bug bite, with Iron Head for STAB, and Brick Break for coverage. Occa to help prevent OHKO from fire. @Leftovers Careful, Calm–Natural Cure 252 HP, 252 Def, 6 Spd Seismic toss Thunder Wave Softboiled Counter Seismic toss is for consistent damage, with Thunder Wave for the speed drop and a little stalling. I tried to make it as bulky as I can so it can withstand a physical attack and hit with counter. @Chesto Bold–Clear Body 129 Sp Atk, 129 Sp Def, 252 Def Ice Beam Thunderbolt Amnesia Rest Semi sweeper and tank. Amnesia to help outlast almost any special attack, with rest for the HP gain. @Shell Bell Adamant–Steadfast 252 Atk, 252 Spd, 6 HP Swords Dance Cross Chop Blaze Kick Rock Slide This one I’m not too sure on just because there are too many choices. Should I have Earthquake on there? And is Rock Slide better than Stone Edge? @Leftovers Relaxed–Sand Stream 252 Atk, 129 HP, 129 Sp Def Curse Rock Slide Earthquake Slack Off Hippowdon has got to be one of my favorite pokemon ever, so that makes it even worse that I can’t decide on a moveset for it. This is mainly a Sweeper/Physical Sponge so take a couple turns with curse, then Slack off and start Sweeping. |

Post subject: | Re: The NEW Rating Center! Now with more pancakes! |
Ok I have created an interesting team that I have been using on Shoddy for a few months, and I want to see what y'all think of it before I actually bring it from Shoddy to the DS. First note this is a Sandstorm Trick Room team, so that is the reason there are no Speed EV's invested in any of my Pokemon. Ability Levitate Held Item Lum Berry Nature Relaxed EVs 252 HP/ 152 Atk/ 8 Def/ 96 Sp Def Moves Trick Room Gyro Ball Explosion Hypnosis If you think you have seen this somewhere before you have, this is the standard Trick Room Bronzong from Smogon. I use it because it works. I lead with it because it is almost guaranteed a Trick Room set up because of its bulk. I opted to use Lum Berry over lefties is bcause in case someone tries to put it to sleep before I can set up my Trick Room, or it makes it a nice switch into an incoming Will-O-Wisp or Hypnosis. Trick Room is obvious as it is the crux of my team. Gyro Ball is an incredibly powerful attack on Bronzong, even when it isn't in the Trick Room, so with it going first will help it do some serious damage to at least one Pokemon. Explosion is there to go out with a bang or to eliminate a Pokemon that the rest of my team might not be able to handle. Hypnosis is there for more support, putting something to sleep or removing a precious Lum Berry or Chesto Berry, though the low accuracy hurts. Ability Sand Strem Held Item Expert Belt Nature Naive EVs 252 Atk/ 252 Spec Atk/ 4 HP Flamethrower Ice Beam Crunch Superpower This is another Smogon set, with the EVs being tampered with a bit. I like this thing quite alot. MixTar can seriously screw up an opponent's team with the element of surprise. I usually switch to this after I get Bronzong to set up Trick Room to get up the steady Sandstorm. Anyway this thing can pose as just a physical attacker, by only using Crunch or Superpower. So when they switch to something like Scizor or something, I can use Flamethrower and mess crap up. Flamethrower is there to handle against Scizor and other Steel types not named Heatran. Ice Bean checks Dragons Grounds Flyings etc. Crunch is there as its standard physical STAB move. Superpower is there to check other counters against T-Tar which are other T-Tars Heatrans Lucarios. Ability Solid Rock Held Item Life Orb Nature Brave EVs 248 HP/ 252 Atk/ 8 Def Earthquake Stone Edge Megahorn Swords Dance With the Special Defense boost combined with Solid Rock Rhyperior can usually take a super effective hit or two. Anyway with Trick Room up Rhyperior boasts amazing speed, and with its bulk can set up a Swords Dance to go ahead and sweep the opponent. After one Swords Dance Rhyperior is capable of OHKOing the entire metagame, which is very nice. Earthquake and Stone Edge for the standard STAB, while Megahorn is there to handle other things. The only thing I don't like about it two of its attacks have low accuracy so I might actually put Scope Lens on it to help it, then again without Life Orb I might lose precious KOs. Ability Levitate Held Item Leftovers Nature Brave 252 HP/ 252 Atk/ 4 Def Trick Room Earthquake Stone Edge Explosion Just another Pokemon to set up Trick Room. Ground Rock provides excellent coverage, while Explosion is there to take it out and hopefully another Pokemon out. Again like pretty much all of the sets, its a basic Smogon set, I use them because they work. Ability Sturdy Held Item Leftovers Nature Sassy 252 HP/ 4 Atk/ 252 Def Thunder Fang Earthquake Gyro Ball Explosion Thunder Fang helps out to take out water types, as well as doing a good number on Gyarados. Earthquake is STAB and STAB is always good, same on Gyro Ball. Explosion yet again helps rip through a Pokemon as a extremely powerful move. Steelix is obviously the Physical wall of the team, though its one problem is a lack of instant recovery, but hey it does its job generally well. Ability Rock Head Held Item Muscle Band Nature Adamant 4 HP/ 252 Atk/ 252 Spec Def Head Smash Waterfall Earthquake Double Edge Relicanth rounds out the team. Able to rip through most Pokemon with its STAB non recoil Head Smash. Relicanth is generally a good Pokemon to round out this team, and with the invested Special Defense EVs it can take one Special attack. Good type coverage with a good attack stat, I am also thinking of Banding it by that I mean Choice Band. There it is my team that I have been using on Shoddy for a while, it has been fairly successful. Its about even with the wins and losses so its nothing too bad I think. |

This one's for my Diamond Battle Tower. I haven't posted any posts here, but I'm desperate. Okay, THis is one of three teams for it, and this one's solely for double. I really don't know, and don't care about, the EVs. I don't have Platinum or a second DS to help me with MT, but I do have a SS. I don't know why, but it won't let me write more after a little while, so this one's the first one of the doubles team I have. Just in case you want to see what I have, I have Espeon, Umbreon, and Infernape. This is for Espeon. Espeon (F)@Lum Berry Gentle/Synchronize EVs:??? Psychic Grass Knot Calm Mind Last Resort The only reason I have LR on last slot is because I haven't leveled it enough (lv. 58). After it levels, I'm teaching it Morning Sun. The Lum Berry's for the pesky Magnetons that pop up and t-wave me, then cheri berry heals them. I originally had Mind Plate, but now I prefer this one. |

Hi, it's me again! Remember the Espeon only thing I submitted? Well this is my Umbreon. Umbreon (M)@Quick Claw Naughty/Synchronize EVs: ??? Faint Attack/Bite Dark Pulse/Pursuit Helping Hand Protect Originally, Espeon and Umbreon were on my Multi Battle team, but I decided to try them at Double Battles. (In MB, Riley and I pwned so many trainers whenever he had his EQchomp, as I protected and HH while he does the EQing.) This was really cool, until I realized that I had a Naughty nature. I have one that's Adamant, but isn't a Wish one. I'm willing to breed more (Esoeon with maybe Xatu?). Other than that, I think Umbreon is a physical/Sp. Wall, while Espeon is my special sweeper. I only had Dark Pulse, because of the STAB, but realized that Pursuit might be better. I need help. Oh yeah. I forgot to tell youwhat my Espeon is. Usually, she's my lead, with CM and Psychic doing massive damage, with GK for variety. On the other hand, if she's threatened by Blissey or a Dark Pokemon, I switch to Infernape or Umbreon. |

Post subject: | Re: The NEW Rating Center! Now with more pancakes! |
Last of my Double Battle Team for Diamond Battle Tower. This one should finish out with a bang-I hope. I don't know what Shoddy Battle is, but I wouldn't like to try it, from what I read in the posts. It pretty much lets you cheat and get really strong pokemon online, right? If not, I'm sorry. Anyway, I never used stuff like that, I reckon I never will. For more information, I think I should really train my Umbreon and Espeon before trying this, but I already pwned the multibattling trainers for like ten times. There used to be a single battle team I had back when I had just beat the elite four for the first time: Infernape, Staraptor, and Luxray. They were okay, until I faced the Tycoon. Yeah, I had Luxray to Discharge but I lost anyway. Doubles are going to be much easier now that I have more to choose from. Infernape (the same one as above mentioned) is my last one. Infernape (M)@Leftovers (I don't like Choice items, and I don't have Flame Orb. Maybe I should try Expert Belt or Wise Glasses) Modest/Blaze EVs:??? Close Combat Flare Blitz/Focus Blast Flamethrower Blast Burn/Rock Slide I used the AR a long while back to have all TMs X95, so I don't care what you think about wasting TMs. I don't know if I should do Focus Blast over Flare Blitz, as he's modest, and I rarely use Close Combat. BB, or RS? That's the question. Blast Burn for a last pokemon finisher, and RS for Flying types. I can't decide! Maybe I should just teach Espeon T-bolt, and pwn those flying pokes? |

Metagross Lum Berry 252ATK 248HP 10SPD Adamant Clear Body Bullet Punch Stealth Rock Earthquake Explosion My lead 248HP and a lum berry to make sure that i'll be able to use stealth rock, bullet punch to fight againts other leads like weavile and aerodactyl and explosion as a last resort. Earthquake is just another nice strong move to finish off some pesky opponents. 10SPD so that I could out-speed most metagross with only 6spd evs IMO roserade would lead better, it can sash, sleep and spike the field. Meta works better mid-late as a steel-wall and sweeper. The set is fine, Ice punch can be used over explosion but either is fine. Max_LKC wrote: Roserade Focus Sash 252SPD 252SPA 6HP Timid Natural Cure Toxic Spike Sleep powder Leech Seed Leaf Storm A toxic spiker in my team sleep powder lets me set up my toxic spikes and leech seed for forcing the opponent to switch out. Focus Sash to prevent any strong fire psychic flying or ice type move to OHKO me. I was thinking about switching leech seed for Aromatherapy what do you think? As written above I feel rose would lead better. Your team has pretty good status resists, rose and meta/scizor absorbs toxic, Infernape burns, swampert t-wave and has rest, so aroma isn't needed. Leech seed is ok, sludge bomb makes better use of the s.atk EVs and works well with grass barring steels, and HP fire/elec would be best for countering leads if you have access to them. Max_LKC wrote: Swampert Chesto Berry 252HP 218SPDEF 40DEF Careful Torrent Waterfall/Aqua Tail Avalanche Curse Rest Tanking while dealing a lot of damage that's swampert best role for me. Curse is without a doubt one of the best skills that swampert has getting rid of useless speed for defence and power. Rest for recovering after using curse 2-3 times and chesto wake me up at that instance to do some nice damage back at my opponents. The only thing I cant decide is between Aqua Tail and Waterfall. Aqua Tail has more power but lower accuracy but waterfall ensures a a sure hit but with lower damage. Looks good, either move is fine but as the set can afford a miss 10% of the time aqua tail is probably the better option. Max_LKC wrote: Scizor
Choice Band 252HP 252ATK 6SPD Swarm Adamant Bullet Punch U-Turn Superpower Pursuit One of the most popular physical sweepers in OU. U-Turn for a nice switch after finishing off some psychic or dark type opponents so that I can use another attack when it switch in later or have a counter against some fire type pokemon and pursuit to prevent some psychic and dark type from switching. Bullet punch for finishing off some low hp opponents and Superpower to finish off some disturbing pokemon like umbreon and blissey. Get technician to boost bullet punch and pursuit. otherwise fine. Max_LKC wrote: Dragonite
Leftovers 252HP 38ATK 220SPD Inner Focus Adamant Earthquake Dragon Dance Outrage Roost/Substitute Since sala has gone to Ubers(according to smogon) Dragonite seem to be the 2nd best choice as a physical dragon type sweeper in OU. The only thing I cant decide is between Roost and Substitute Roost help me recover but Substitute helps me set up dragon dance better. What do you think? Roost is probably the best option for recovery along with Lum, which can be used over lefties to prevent para and burn setting up and/or remove confusion from outrage. Max_LKC wrote: Infernape Focus Sash 252SPATK 252SPD 6HP Focus Sash Timid Nasty Plot Fire Blast/Flamethrower Focus Blast Grass Knot Since I'm lacking for a Special Sweeper I couldn't think of a better one than Infernape in OU games. Focus Sash enables me to set up Nasty Plot at least once (without disturbance of stealth rock spikes or poison of course). Grass Knot to finish off Swampert and Focus Blast to finish off Employeon. Fire Blast is very strong but it lacks accuracy while Flamethrower has 100% accuracy with only a draw back of being weaker. So what's your opinion? I'd stay with fire blast for the sheer power, Focus blast can be opted for CC w/ naive nature, but fails to OHKO lucario, heatran. If you want to rely on roserade to kill swampert you can run encore to trap a CM, rest, etc. and nab a NP or two. Max_LKC wrote: That's about it. I was thinking of putting Tentacruel Fortress or a Donphan as a rapid spinner any suggestion of who to take out? maybe roserade? I'd say metagross would be best to take out for Donphan or even Claydol as a spinner, theough the team isn't desperate for one. Overall the team is pretty good, a little to much lean on physical over special, but not enough to be a big issue. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- MUNCHLAX wrote: {steellix} @ leftovers sturdy relaxed 252 DEF 252 SP DEF 4 ATK roar stealth rock explosion aqua tail my physical wall which can set up stealth rock very quickly and then can proceed to roar around the team inflicting damage and then when i hit a fire or rock type i can surprise them by randomly hitting off with an aqua tail. when i know i'm gonna go i just explode Your scarfJirachi would lead better, as Iron head can stop many SR/sucide leads and U-turn can crack sashes and scout. change the 252def to 252 HP to take hits better. custap berry is a good option to ensure explosion.

Post subject: | Re: The NEW Rating Center! Now with more pancakes! |
Returning after six or so months upon getting Heart Gold my taste for victory at the Battle Tower is as strong as ever. The idea is the conventional Sweeper, Wall, Sponge to try and be as versatile in the Battle Tower as possible. The threats of OHKO moves and adjusted rolls will be addressed with Sturdy. Magnezone @ Choice Specs Rash - 84 HP / 172 Atk / 252 SpA Sturdy - Thunderbolt - Hidden Power (Grass, 68) - MagnetBomb / Mirror Shot - Explosion I considered myself VERY lucky to find a Magnemite with good IVs, hidden power AND Sturdy, which wouldn't be as popular down to it's irrelevance in competitive battles. The EV spread is as provided by the trader and gives it some oomph to it's Explosion and some bulk to compensate for it's lack of speed. I decided that since Magnezone has some bulk I should go for the extra power of the Specs. over the speed of the scarf. -Thunderbolt's a great electric attack (till you get ground out by a marowak!) with STAB and that handsome Choice Spec'd base Special Attack. -Hidden Power Grass takes out rock/ground types it outspeeds if I think they don't have a focus sash. -Magnet Bomb would offer an always-accurate move which is always helpful in the event that the game is using filthy evasion modifiers and luck turned in it's favour as is the Battle Tower's want however Mirror Shot would feed off of it's higher Sp.A but suffer and innacurate 95%. Either way, it's STAB boosted. If there's any replacement move for here, by all means I'm open to suggestion. -Explosion to try and take one for the team if it looks like he's not going to last much longer and to be thrown out there if he's going to out-speed the opponent. If an opponent seems likely to have earthquake I can switch to... Skarmory @ Lum Berry Impish - 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 Atk [ OR ] 252 HP / 72 Def / 184 Spe Sturdy -Aerial Ace / Brave Bird / Drill Peck -Roost -Taunt / Steel Wing / Stealth Rock -Torment / Steel Wing / Stealth Rock Skarmory's place on this team was originally held by Forretress but I found him to perform poorly and fail to do anything useful before being destroyed. -Aerial Ace has lower power than the other options however accuracy modifiers frequent the battle tower so it could come in handy in a haxy pinch. Also I would need to rebreed for Brave Bird or Drill Peck, so I'm somewhat reluctant to do so. -Roost is of course for instant recovery and careful manipulation of type resistances -Taunt would restrict the more tricksy of the Battle Tower's inhabitants which I'm keep to select. -Torment is also another layer of restriction to allow me to easier predict and switch around on the enemy. -Steel Wing would purely be another STAB move but it has poor coverage, accuracy and power so I'm reluctant to use this. -Stealth Rock support could be highly useful but the 3 Pokémon long battles make this seem less viable. In the event of a special attacker I switch to... Blissey @ Leftovers Bold - 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 Spe Natural Cure -Aromatherapy -Softboiled -Seismic Toss -Thunder Wave The Blissey Cleric build we all know, love and fear! Eliminates any special attacker short of Choice Spec. users sporting Focus Blast almost effortlessly and with PP Maxes can win any stall war. Overall, Magneton does the punching until being locked into a move or being against a faster EQ user forces it to retreat to the appropriate defensive force. I've found him absurdly effective in testing although the Steel Move to be determined is the chink in the armoury. My only regret is that he does not have HP Ice or else it would provide much needed punch against Dragons. Skarmory is untested but I shall be giving him his debeut soon. Blissey is Blissey and by extension irreplaceable. I have 2/3 OHKO proofing, one or two always-accurate moves and a balance of power. The only weak spot is the lack of a physical attacker but I don't consider that to be too much of an issue. |

I have access to move tutors in Emerald and Leafgreen. I’m open to other options for better pokemon, but I don’t have a second ds or easy access to wi-fi, so no Magmortar/Electivire .
@Leftovers Careful–Sturdy 129Atk, 129 Def, 252 Sp Def Spikes Rock slide Earthquake Explosion You have to bear with me, since this is my first spiker set. The idea is to set up a few spikes, then just sweep until it looks like I’m about to be beat, then explode, or switch out if I come against a strong special sweeper. Go with 252HP 252S.def for better defense, despite a 90base attack, forretress ain't worth EVs unless it's dedicated to pure offensive. Gyro ball over rock slide to add power, though make sure the speed IV is as close to 0 as possible. Iron ball will further the speed drop for more power, shed shell is also a good item, though if this is for frontier battles it may not have much use. 15th century wrote: @occa berry Adamant–Technician 252 Atk, 129 Def, 129 Sp Def Swords Dance Bug Bite Iron Head Brick Break Technician here boosts bug bite, with Iron Head for STAB, and Brick Break for coverage. Occa to help prevent OHKO from fire. Once again 252 HP investment will fare better on most pokemon then 129/129. Go with 252atk 252spd to have the best chance to outspeed magnezone. Bullet punch > Iron head unless you run agility or CS. BB can be replaced with superpower to OHKO magnezone without having to SD first. 15th century wrote: @Leftovers
Careful, Calm–Natural Cure 252 HP, 252 Def, 6 Spd Seismic toss Thunder Wave Softboiled Counter Seismic toss is for consistent damage, with Thunder Wave for the speed drop and a little stalling. I tried to make it as bulky as I can so it can withstand a physical attack and hit with counter. Chople berry can save blissey from many fighting OHKOs. T-wave is bad as full para will spoil counter, Flamethrower/Fire blast would be good there to spoil scizor, toxic can be good too. 15th century wrote: @Chesto
Bold–Clear Body 129 Sp Atk, 129 Sp Def, 252 Def Ice Beam Thunderbolt Amnesia Rest Semi sweeper and tank. Amnesia to help outlast almost any special attack, with rest for the HP gain. Blissey already special walls quite well, and Ice-type is very poor for defensive. A Cosmic power/Rest+chesto or Trick+Choice Spec/Scarf Starmie would do quite well here. The former if your feel you need the defensive, latter for a special attacker and trick to help set up hippo/lucario/scizor. (Also you have 3 fight weak with regice, so starmie can provide a resist) 15th century wrote: @Shell Bell Adamant–Steadfast 252 Atk, 252 Spd, 6 HP Swords Dance Cross Chop Blaze Kick Rock Slide This one I’m not too sure on just because there are too many choices. Should I have Earthquake on there? And is Rock Slide better than Stone Edge? Jolly nature, Focus sash for item,Close combat over Cross chop, Exspd over Blaze kick, Edge is generally better over Slide to grab a few OHKO's but Slide has better PP, acc. and lucario can abuse the flinch to an extent. so it's purely preference. 15th century wrote: @Leftovers
Relaxed–Sand Stream 252 Atk, 129 HP, 129 Sp Def Curse Rock Slide Earthquake Slack Off Hippowdon has got to be one of my favorite pokemon ever, so that makes it even worse that I can’t decide on a moveset for it. This is mainly a Sweeper/Physical Sponge so take a couple turns with curse, then Slack off and start Sweeping. S.def EVs into HP, the def ones are fine due to curse boosts. Lum berry can be used for the item, but leftovers is fine too. Ice fang is also generally better then rock slide due to better SE coverage. Overall the team is ok, Regice is really the only bad problem. Movesets are ok, a bit lacking in special attacking, starmie would fix this as well. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------'' shinashu taji wrote: Ok I have created an interesting team that I have been using on Shoddy for a few months, and I want to see what y'all think of it before I actually bring it from Shoddy to the DS.
First note this is a Sandstorm Trick Room team, so that is the reason there are no Speed EV's invested in any of my Pokemon. Ability Levitate Held Item Lum Berry Nature Relaxed EVs 252 HP/ 152 Atk/ 8 Def/ 96 Sp Def Moves Trick Room Gyro Ball Explosion Hypnosis If you think you have seen this somewhere before you have, this is the standard Trick Room Bronzong from Smogon. I use it because it works. I lead with it because it is almost guaranteed a Trick Room set up because of its bulk. I opted to use Lum Berry over lefties is bcause in case someone tries to put it to sleep before I can set up my Trick Room, or it makes it a nice switch into an incoming Will-O-Wisp or Hypnosis. Trick Room is obvious as it is the crux of my team. Gyro Ball is an incredibly powerful attack on Bronzong, even when it isn't in the Trick Room, so with it going first will help it do some serious damage to at least one Pokemon. Explosion is there to go out with a bang or to eliminate a Pokemon that the rest of my team might not be able to handle. Hypnosis is there for more support, putting something to sleep or removing a precious Lum Berry or Chesto Berry, though the low accuracy hurts. Standard works here. shinashu taji wrote: {tyranitar} Ability Sand Strem Held Item Expert Belt Nature Naive
EVs 252 Atk/ 252 Spec Atk/ 4 HP Flamethrower Ice Beam Crunch Superpower This is another Smogon set, with the EVs being tampered with a bit. I like this thing quite alot. MixTar can seriously screw up an opponent's team with the element of surprise. I usually switch to this after I get Bronzong to set up Trick Room to get up the steady Sandstorm. Anyway this thing can pose as just a physical attacker, by only using Crunch or Superpower. So when they switch to something like Scizor or something, I can use Flamethrower and mess crap up. Flamethrower is there to handle against Scizor and other Steel types not named Heatran. Ice Bean checks Dragons Grounds Flyings etc. Crunch is there as its standard physical STAB move. Superpower is there to check other counters against T-Tar which are other T-Tars Heatrans Lucarios. Looks fine. shinashu taji wrote: Ability Solid Rock Held Item Life Orb Nature Brave
EVs 248 HP/ 252 Atk/ 8 Def Earthquake Stone Edge Megahorn Swords Dance With the Special Defense boost combined with Solid Rock Rhyperior can usually take a super effective hit or two. Anyway with Trick Room up Rhyperior boasts amazing speed, and with its bulk can set up a Swords Dance to go ahead and sweep the opponent. After one Swords Dance Rhyperior is capable of OHKOing the entire metagame, which is very nice. Earthquake and Stone Edge for the standard STAB, while Megahorn is there to handle other things. The only thing I don't like about it two of its attacks have low accuracy so I might actually put Scope Lens on it to help it, then again without Life Orb I might lose precious KOs. Only issue I see is SD only lasting two turns before trick room runs out, CB may work well with Aqua tail or T-punch in the last slot. The two SD turns are still quite a nasty threat. shinashu taji wrote: {claydol} Ability Levitate Held Item Leftovers Nature Brave
252 HP/ 252 Atk/ 4 Def Trick Room Earthquake Stone Edge Explosion Just another Pokemon to set up Trick Room. Ground Rock provides excellent coverage, while Explosion is there to take it out and hopefully another Pokemon out. Again like pretty much all of the sets, its a basic Smogon set, I use them because they work. I say claydol should switch to special w/ Earth power+ice beam as Ttar is the only other user on the team. shinashu taji wrote: Ability Sturdy Held Item Leftovers Nature Sassy
252 HP/ 4 Atk/ 252 Def Thunder Fang Earthquake Gyro Ball Explosion Thunder Fang helps out to take out water types, as well as doing a good number on Gyarados. Earthquake is STAB and STAB is always good, same on Gyro Ball. Explosion yet again helps rip through a Pokemon as a extremely powerful move. Steelix is obviously the Physical wall of the team, though its one problem is a lack of instant recovery, but hey it does its job generally well. Outside gyarados, EQ outdamages SE T-fang and can be replaced with stone edge. God forbid your team faces an all ghost team :p shinashu taji wrote: Ability Rock Head Held Item Muscle Band Nature Adamant
4 HP/ 252 Atk/ 252 Spec Def Head Smash Waterfall Earthquake Double Edge Relicanth rounds out the team. Able to rip through most Pokemon with its STAB non recoil Head Smash. Relicanth is generally a good Pokemon to round out this team, and with the invested Special Defense EVs it can take one Special attack. Good type coverage with a good attack stat, I am also thinking of Banding it by that I mean Choice Band. CB is fine, Wide lens with Aqua tail over waterfall is an option to patch up head smash's low acc. Sleep talk in the last slot is an option to absorb sleep. shinashu taji wrote: There it is my team that I have been using on Shoddy for a while, it has been fairly successful. Its about even with the wins and losses so its nothing too bad I think. The team is quite good, only issue I see is lack of special attacks and status absorbing, namely sleep/burn. Also trick teams usually have a fast-ish poke to revenge kill or strike taunters keeping trick room away or if the effect fades on a KO, Trick scarf Azelf/Mesprit/Starime can be quite nasty here to revenge kill or trick the scarf on a slowpoke who may be a sweep threat under trick room. Relicanth would probably be best replaced if you want to try this. Starmie Modest/Quiet w/Natural cure Choice scarf 252HP 252S.atk 4S.def -Trick -T-bolt -Surf -Ice beam/Trick room With modest you hit 264 base speed with a 29IV, so with the scarf you outspeed the non-CS metagame. Or you can go with 219 (Quiet and 8IVs) to outspeed +base 100's. Revenge kill if need be, trick stallers and cursers to fail and be less of a threat in trick room. and you can even set up the room effect if need be. |

Post subject: | Re: The NEW Rating Center! Now with more pancakes! |
Okay, this came straight from Shoddy's Export to Text function, so it might not be standard format, but yeah. Now mence is gone, I made an effort to build a team around a pokemon that benefits in OU without mence: ! Dawn Island (M) @ Focus Sash Ability: Pressure EVs: 4 HP/252 Atk/252 Spd Jolly nature (+Spd, -SAtk) - Stealth Rock - Taunt - Earthquake - Rock Slide Aerodactyl's a classic lead. Reliably sets up SR, taunts slower leads, screws up baton pass teams and hits decently before going down. Shouldn't have to explain this one much further. --- Under Waves (M) @ Leftovers Ability: Water Absorb EVs: 188 HP/252 Def/68 Spd Bold nature (+Def, -Atk) - Wish - Protect - Surf - Toxic Vaporeon provides perfect wish and toxic support. It is also a useful bulk water that stops kingdra, which my team is otherwise weak to. The EVs, moves etc. came straight from Smogon. --- Vulture (M) @ Leftovers Ability: No Guard EVs: 248 HP/252 Atk/8 Spd Adamant nature (+Atk, -SAtk) - Substitute - Dynamicpunch - Payback - Stone Edge This is the standard substitute machamp. Dynamicpunch comboes well with no guard, and stone edge provides good coverage with full accuracy. Payback is to beat those rotoms and azelfs. It helps to eliminate heatrans, rotoms and generally steel types that would hinder a sceptile sweep. NOTE: this used to be a rapid spinning starmie, but i found that starmie didn't do much and i rarely actually needed to spin. So I got champ instead, and it helped me get more wins. --- Self vs Self (M) @ Choice Band Ability: Technician EVs: 248 HP/252 Atk/8 Spd Adamant nature (+Atk, -SAtk) - U-turn - Bullet Punch - Superpower - Pursuit The typical scizor. It supports sceptile greatly, as it takes out many revenge killers that have a go at sceptile, such as gengar and weavile. bullet punch ohkos gengar. u-turn for simple scouting and kill moves against celebi, etc. superpower is for raw power, and also breaks magnezone. pursuit for unfortunate, locked rotoms. --- Dusk Island @ Choice Scarf Ability: Serene Grace EVs: 252 Atk/252 Spd/4 SDef Jolly nature (+Spd, -SAtk) - Iron Head - Fire Punch - Ice Punch - U-turn Here i have officially the most annoying pokemon in OU. scarfrachi's a typical helpful pokemon. u-turn is good for scouting. fire punch and ice punch are for coverage. iron head is there in case i desperately need to kill a pokemon but can't, so instead i play it cheap and give them a few flinches. It also works well with machamp's dynamicpunch, as it gives pokemon even less of a chance of attacking. It supports sceptile by cheaply taking out anything that isn't already covered by the previous few pokemon. --- Encoder (M) @ Life Orb Ability: Overgrow EVs: 28 HP/228 Spd/252 SAtk Timid nature (+Spd, -Atk) - Leaf Storm - Focus Blast - Dragon Pulse - Hidden Power [Fire] Just as Encoder is the last song of Pendulum's new album, Sceptile is the last pokemon on my team. This is a sweeping life orb set made just for OU. Leafstorm pretty much takes out anything that doesn't resist it (which is unfortunately quite a lot). Focus Blast covers well with leafstorm and can beat non-scarfed heatran. Dragon Pulse is there for coverage, and can also take out kingdra and flygon easily. hidden power fire is a decent kill move for most steels. But by the time i switch in sceptile, hopefully most things that resist leafstorm will have been eliminated, so i can sweep easily. when i know nothing can survive leafstorm or outspeed sceptile, i can sacrifice my other pokemon, then switch back to sceptile to keep up leafstorm's power. --- Well, that's it. I've done decently well with it, and I think i've won more than i've lost. I haven't managed to find what makes me lose, but generally i think the problem is that i have just one pokemon to check many threats. |

Remember me? The N00b who triple posted because I didn't know better? Well, I'm sorry for that. Uh, I still don't have enough to post a team, but I was wondering how I could delete those posts. I'm so embarrassed that I did that! Yeah, I know, I should've read the rules first. I learned my lesson. I kinda ask this here, because I made the mistake of triple posting in here in my beginning days, so yeah. Help! |

wow, torchie, guess ur really sorry. i mean, last time i broke the rules, i just said "F*** YOU" and didn't reply (btw i did learn my lesson so don't ban me for that ). At the bottom-right of posts is a line of small words that say "Quote" and "Report". on your posts it also says "Edit" and "Delete". That's what you use to edit and delete posts |
