Idk about having altaria in there, even though it's a great staller. I won't get rid of sableye or linoone, because they're 2 of my favorites. I'll probably get rid of altaria for...

Registeel @ Sitrus Berry

Curse
Iron Defense
Amnesia
Metal Claw

Thanks for any help.

On Linoone, you will want Extreemespeed instead of Slash. That way, once you get a Belly Drum under you, you're suddenly hitting first with a 120 power move from a quadrupled Attack.

If you're trying to run Critiken, you should use Blaze Kick instead of Overheat, but Critekin isn't much more than a novelty set. I like Overheat/FocusPunch/RockSlide/SkyUppercut@ChoiceBand, or something like Endure/Reversal/SwordsDance/Overheat@Salac.

Alakazam isn't too bad, though if this is Emerald, you should use Thunderpunch instead of Shock Wave. I would also use Lum over Sitrus, Sitrus sucks.

Tentacruel is a good Pokémon, and that set works fine.

Give Sableye Knock Off and Recover. Detect and Protect together are redundant, I think Protect has more PP, so you should keep that if you want it. I would give it Leftovers, but if you don't have any, you might be able to run a berry and Theif over Knock Off.

On Registeel, you definately want Leftovers. Running both Curse and Iron Defense is redundant, drop Iron Defense for something like Rest, Toxic, or Explosion.

okay, how the hell does linoone get extremespeed when i only have emerald and nobody to trade with?

critiken works fine, because most of the moves have pretty big attack anyways. the 30% critical hit rate is just a bonus.

sitrus doesn't suck when zam only has 200 hp. 30 hp is a pretty big amount to recover.

do you not understand the purpose of detect and protect? TOXISTALL.

i'll drop iron d for superpower or earthquake.

and this is IN-GAME so i don't really care about competative movesets. i play with what i like, and these just so happen to be semi-smogon sets. i might post a competative team later if i feel up to it.

[wobmaster]

Never mind about ESpeed, I just looked it up, I thought it was a breed move, sorry. :o

Actually, criteken gets a 50% crit rate if you Focus Energy with Scope Lens and use high crit moves.

Sitrus is no good because it only works once. If you want good recovery, use Leftovers, they will restore 36 HP every 3 turns if you have exactly 200 HP. And the lowest HP a level 100 Zam can have is, um, 220, and that's with a zero IV and no HP EVs. By level 100 you should have at least 250 HP, and then you'll recover 30 HP every two turns it stays on the field. Ignore this paragraph if your alakazam usually only survives one turn.

I understand why you have Protect and Detect, but they both do THE EXACT SAME THING, so having them both is redundant.

It's obvious that you don't care about competitive sets, or I would have pressed you more about changing critiken, or asked for natures and EVs. I made a mistake on linoone, but I'm just trying to help

i know having protect and detect do the exact same thing, that's the point. It DOESNT GET HIT FOR AT LEAST 15 TURNS while it toxistalls.

thanks for the help though, i have another leftovers on zam after working my a55 off at the battle frontier.

[InterFed_OV]

Detect and Protect, when used together, still fail at the exact same rate. In other words, if you use Detect first and then use Protect the next turn, Protect will still only have a 50% chance of working. The same will happen if you reverse it.

Sableye@Leftovers
Night Shade
Seismic Toss
Confuse Ray
Recover/Moonlight
This is pretty much all Sableye can do. Detect and Protect do not help each other, they still fail at the same rate if you use them one after another.

Give Linoone Return over Slash.

If you're going to use Critiken, use Blaze Kick instead of Overheat.

Give Zam Fire Punch over Shock Wave.

Tentacruel needs Haze somewhere. It's an egg move, though, and I know how much n00bs h8 2 br33d...

Meh, I know squat about Altaria, but I know she can breed for Haze, too.

[Chaos_Rose]

I'm a n00b?
Screw you, this is a fun in-game team.
Great job being arrogant kiddo.

Swords Dance and Haze on the same moveset would be odd imo.

BTW, Zubat breeds with Swablu to get Altaria Haze

take away focus energy from blaziken and replace it with flamethrower, take away rest from Linoone and teach him surf, I guess the rest looks ok.
