I know that I've already got another post on the first page(at the time I created this post), and I'm sorry. I need help.
Now that that's out of the way...
I can't decide what pokemon to use... I've got several choices in my mind. First six are the current team.
Tyranitar (M) @ Lum Berry
Trait: Sand Stream
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Spd / 4 SDef
Jolly Nature (+Spd, -SAtk)
- Focus Punch
- Dragon Dance
- Earthquake
- Rock Slide
Dragon Dance once for high attack and speed, then sweep, dragon dancing more when the chance is available. Lum Berry lets T-Tar live one turn longer without status conditions that are oh-so-often inflicted upon him. Of course, most people start off with things that counter Tyranitar.
Aerodactyl (F) @ Choice Band
Trait: Pressure
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spd
Jolly Nature (+Spd, -SAtk)
- Aerial Ace
- Earthquake
- Hidden Power [Ghost]
- Rock Slide
Sweep with whatever, retreat when you need to. This is currently the weak link on my team...
Raikou @ Leftovers
Trait: Pressure
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Spd / 4 SAtk
Timid Nature (+Spd, -Atk)
- Calm Mind
- Hidden Power [Grass]
- Substitute
- Thunderbolt
Substitute, Calm Mind, sweep. VERY hard to set up for me, but worth it... although Raikou isn't the greatest thing on my team.
Alakazam (M) @ Lum Berry
Trait: Synchronize
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Spd / 252 SAtk
Timid Nature (+Spd, -Atk)
- Calm Mind
- Encore
- Fire Punch/Ice Punch/Thunderpunch
- Psychic
Encore one of their moves that won't hurt you (recover, substitute, rest, etcetera), calm mind, sweep. Currently using Thunderpunch... It does damage to many of the common counters that people send out against Alakazam-Metagross, Salamence, Skarmory, etcetera. I've had all these sent out as counters... a lot. Alakazam helps my team out a lot, but he can also be useless at many points.
Suicune @ Leftovers
Trait: Pressure
EVs: 36 HP / 80 Def / 176 Spd / 216 Satk
Bold Nature (+Def, -Atk)
- Calm Mind
- Ice Beam
- Rest
- Surf/Roar
Calm Mind, sweep, rest when needed. I currently have Roar instead of Surf, but I need Surf as well... I can't decide what to do.
Metagross @ Leftovers
Trait: Clear Body
EVs: 252 Atk / 160 Def / 96 Spd
Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Agility
- Earthquake
- Explosion
- Meteor Mash
Agility once for 400 speed, proceed to sweeping. Explode when needed. This guy's perfect on my team-I love his insane sweeping abilities. Unfortunately, Skarmory ***** him with Spikes/Roar. I need to figure out a counter for Skarmory...
Sceptile @ Leftovers
Trait: Overgrow
EVs: 252 Satk / 228 Spd / 28 HP
Timid Nature (+Spd, -Atk)
- Leech Seed
- Substitute
- Leaf Blade
- Hidden Power [Ice]
This thing is an annoying as crazy staller, if used right, which I don't really know how to do.
Charizard @ Salac Berry
Trait: Blaze
EVs: 252 Atk / 252 Spd / 4 HP
Adamant Nature (+Atk, -Satk)
- Belly Drum
- Substitute
- Rock Slide
- Earthquake
Bellyzard kills if you can set him up right. If not, he's worthless.
Jolteon @ Leftovers/Lum Berry
Trait: Volt Absorb
EVs: 252 Satk / 252 Spd / 4 HP
Timid Nature (+Spd, -Atk)
- Thunderbolt
- Substitute
- Thunder Wave
- Hidden Power [Grass]
394 speed slaughters. Substitute helps, T-Wave is fun, Thunderbolt's STAB, HP: Grass is for Swampert. Unfortunately easily countered.
Heracross @ Salac Berry
Trait: Guts
EVs: 252 Atk, 252 Spd, 4 HP
Adamant Nature (+Atk, -Satk)/Jolly Nature (+Spd, -Satk)
- Reversal
- Rock Slide
- Endure
- Megahorn
Reversal kills. End of story-so does Heracross, but he's so easily countered by Tyranitar.
Houndoom @ Leftovers
Trait: Flash Fire
EVs: 252 Spd / 252 Satk / 4 HP
Modest Nature (+Satk, - Atk)/Timid Nature (+Spd, -Atk)
- Flamethrower
- Hidden Power [Grass]
- Will-O-Wisp/Beat Up
- Crunch/Beat Up
This guy's pretty good, but I can't fit him in my team right. Otherwise, slaughterer.
Dodrio @ Leftovers/Choice Band
Trait: Early Bird
EVs: 252 Atk / 252 Spd / 4 HP
Adamant Nature (+Atk, -Satk)/Jolly Nature (+Spd, -Satk)
- Drill Peck
- Haze
- Quick Attack
- Return
This guy works, believe it or not... just not among my favorites to use much. I don't like using Dodrio... then again, I hate Tyranitar too.
Gyarados @ Leftovers
Trait: Intimidate
EVs: 252 Atk / 252 Spd / 4 HP
Adamant Nature (+Atk, -Satk)
- Return
- Earthquake
- Dragon Dance
- Hidden Power [Ghost]
I hate Gengar, so I've got Hidden Power Ghost on a lot of things. I love Gyarados, he's one of my favorite pokemon... but I suck with him.
Breloom @ Leftovers
Trait: Effect Spore
EVs: 252 Atk / 252 Spd / 4 HP
Adamant Nature (+Atk, -Satk)/Jolly Nature (+Spd, -Satk)
- Focus Punch
- Spore
- Leech Seed
- Hidden Power [Ghost]
I love Breloom, and I can't figure out how to use him right.
Salamence @ Leftovers
Trait: Intimidate
EVs: 252 Atk / 252 Spd / 4 HP
Adamant Nature (+Atk, -Satk)/Jolly Nature (+Spd, -Satk)
- Rock Slide
- Dragon Dance
- Earthquake
- Aerial Ace
I am horrible with Salamence, but once I get a few Dragon Dances up, he's unstoppable.
Milotic @ Leftovers
Trait: Marvel Scale
EVs: 252 Def / 8 Spd / 196 SDef / 56 Satk
Bold Nature (+Def, -Atk)
- Surf
- Hidden Power [Dragon]
- Hypnosis
- Recover
I just came up with this moveset a little while ago. While Ice Beam is a sure OHKO for many dragons, HP: Dragon will help too, and it will damage other waters way more than surf will. Hypnosis, HP: Dragon the waters/Dragons, and Surf everything else. Recover when needed-so far, sounds very strong, but I haven't figured out if I'm going to use it on my team.
Scizor @ Liechi Berry
Trait: Swarm
EVs: 252 Atk, 128 Spd, 128 Def
Adamant Nature (+Atk, -Satk)
- Reversal
- Endure
- Hidden Power [Ghost]
- Agility
Only Reversaler that doesn't get affected by stupid Tyranitars. Otherwise, not that great pokemon.
Blaziken @ Salac Berry
Trait: Blaze
EVs: 252 Atk / 252 Spd / 4 HP
Adamant Nature (+Atk, -Satk)/Jolly Nature (+Spd, -Satk)
- Fire Blast
- Rock Slide
- Reversal
- Endure
Dual Typing helps slaughter many pokemon(go screw yourself, SkarmBlissLax!), but mediocre speed keeps this thing out of my team, permanently.
There are other pokemon that I've used, but these are the more main ones. So far, the first several are my best, but whatever-I know that I need a Swampert counter on my team, a physical/special sweeper(ALAKAZAM), a salamence/dragonite counter, a staller, a tank(METAGROSS), a Tyranitar/Sandstorm counter, a fire type, an electric type, a water type, GAH!
So far, my best pokemon are Alakazam, Metagross, Tyranitar, Charizard, Raikou, Suicune, Sceptile, Breloom(even though I've only used it at the battle frontier), Houndoom, Jolteon, Heracross, Aerodactyl(surprisingly... because it sucks so bad sometimes), and Blaziken(battle frontier again...)... Alakazam and Metagross are pokemon that will stay in my team, no matter what. I just can't decide what else to put in!
Best six are Metagross/Alakazam/Tyranitar/Raikou/Suicune/Heracross, but I can't use Heracross AND Tyranitar, so I dunno... and then there's still the stupid Skarmory/Swampert users... I don't know. Help?
Now that that's out of the way...
