GoldTrainer

I've said it before and I'll say it again, I'm not changing the type of pokemon I use on this team! Sure, Infernape is better than Blaziken, but I don't want an Infernape, I want Blaziken on my team (I hate it that Infernape makes him look like a loser)! And Gardevoir is my all time favorite psychic type (if not my all-time favorite pokemon). Plus, I kind of dislike Gengar. I don't just play with my favorites, I try to bring out the best in them. I did tweak Roserade a bit by having her know HP Fire. And I don't want to run a Vaporeon or Suicune (one, cause my friend already uses Vaporeon, and I don't like to copy him. And two, Suicune is a legendary, I don't use legendaries), I want to run Milotic! Basically because, back in sapphire version, she was a gift from my best friend. Sure, I re-raised her in Platinum, but the memory of that event stays with me to this day. What you suggested for Metagross...well...right now I think hes fine, but if I have trouble in the future, I'll consider having him know Stealth Rock. Please don't insult me for this, but I care about the Pokemon on my team. I don't care if they are imaginary, cause I have a very active imagination. I could never replace them....

I tweaked my team a bit from what I posted before. The results are pretty good, as I have won a good number of battles with this team. Though for me, it doesn't matter whether I win or lose a battle, just so long as I enjoy myself. Blaziken (male) Nature: Jolly Ability: Blaze Item: Choice Band EVs: 255 ATK / 255 SPEED Moves: Flare Blitz Stone Edge Superpower Thunderpunch Gardevoir (female) Nature: Timid Ability: Synchronize Item: Lum Berry EVs: 188 SP.ATK / 67 DEF / 255 SPEED Moves: Psychic Calm Mind Focus Blast Thunderbolt Salamence (male) Nature: Jolly Ability: Intimidate Item: Yache Berry EVs: 255 ATK / 255 SPEED Moves: Outrage Fire Blast Earthquake Dragon Dance Roserade (female) Nature: Timid Ability: Natural Cure Item: Black Sludge EVs: 188 SP.ATK / 67 DEF / 255 SPEED Moves: Energy Ball Shadow Ball Sludge Bomb Sleep Powder Milotic (female) Nature: Modest Ability: Marvel Scale Item: Salac Berry EVs: 255 SP.ATK / 255 SPEED Moves: Ice Beam Recover Hydro Pump Mirror Coat Metagross (genderless) Nature: Adamant Ability: Clear Body Item: Life Orb EVs: 204 ATK / 152 SP.DEF / 154 SPEED Moves: Meteor Mash Agility Explosion Earthquake I'm only posting them here because wherever else I've posted them, my thread was either locked or no one replied. I decided to ditch my whole "no teaching my pokemon the same moves" thing, but my thing about having them hold different items I haven't changed (its a rule that my best friend and I made, and I don't think he would appreciate it if I broke it). I will also ABSOLUTELY NOT replace any of the pokemon on my team. Please let me know if you have any suggestions for my team (other than replacing pokemon. For instance, Infernape could never replace my Blaziken!).

Good thing the poll closed, cause what I would've voted for isn't up there. I still like the Pokemon TV show, and I always will. Its one of my favorite shows.:biggrin:

I'm probably the only one here who is still a fan of the anime, likes all 12 seasons, and still watches it to this day (I may be nineteen, but there's no law that says an adult can't watch cartoons. And I'm not talking about the cartoons for adults, which I hate by the way, I'm talking about the cartoons like pokemon, cartoon network stuff, which does not include adult swim. Adult Swim=Pure Evil). Anyway my favorite character would have to be May. Mainly cause she chose the same starter I did (Torchic), but it is also cause I find her rather cute.

Watch what you say about certain characters (even if you say it in *'s). May happens to be one of my favorites (In my opinion, I think she is cuter than Misty. Way cuter). And I know Charizard has an advantage over Blaziken (in most cases), but he is still my favorite (one reason why May is one of my favorite characters.) Anyway, I think the anime is awesome, so I should probably stop posting here.

Hey, watch it!!! Blaziken is my favorite pokemon! Don't diss Blaziken!:mad: I have not stopped watching the anime, and I never will.

Blaziken (male) Nature: Jolly Ability: Blaze Item: Choice Band EVs: 255 ATK / 255 SPEED Moves: Flare Blitz Stone Edge Superpower Thunderpunch I gave the advice for Blaziken that I was given some thought, tested it out, and I like it. After all, it got me to the second battle with the Tower Tycoon, and helped me win. But I'm wondering if I should replace Thunderpunch with something like Earthquake (I decided to ditch my whole "style" thing with moves). I only keep Thunderpunch to deal with Gyarados, and other water types. I tested Stone Edge on a Level 100 Gyarados and it did not OHKO it. Shiny Gardevoir (female) Nature: Timid Ability: Synchronize Item: Lum Berry EVs: 188 SP.ATK / 67 DEF / 255 SPEED Moves: Psychic Calm Mind Focus Blast Thunderbolt Same as before. Though I am thinking about leftovers for her. The disadvantage to that is that my friend could now use his Starmie to thunder wave her without much worry. Salamence (male) Nature: Jolly Ability: Intimidate Item: Yache Berry EVs: 255 ATK / 255 SPEED Moves: Outrage Fire Blast Earthquake Dragon Dance Like I said before, I ditched my "style", and Salamence's earthquake has done him well. Other than that he is the same. Roserade (female) Nature: Timid Ability: Natural Cure Item: Black Sludge EVs: 188 SP. ATK / 67 DEF / 255 SPEED Moves: Energy Ball Shadow Ball Sludge Bomb Sleep Powder Same as before. I am thinking about giving her a choice specs and teaching her Leaf Storm, but her sleep powder is too useful to throw away. So I'm still not sure. Milotic (female) Nature: Modest Ability: Marvel Scale Item: Salac Berry EVs: 255 SP.ATK / 255 SPEED Moves: Ice Beam Recover Hydro Pump Mirror Coat Same as before. I'm thinking about hypnosis, but one: it is innacurate, and two: Mirror Coat has proved really useful to me in the past a lot of times. For instance, using Mirror Coat, she can usually OHKO a Kyogre, provided that the Kyogre used Thunder. Metagross (genderless) Nature: Adamant Ability: Clear Body Item: Life Orb Moves: Meteor Mash Agility Explosion Earthquake EVs: 204 ATK / 152 SP.DEF/ 154 SPEED I ditched ice punch and taught Metagross explosion. It packs more power than ice punch, and if unresisted, it can usaully OHKO the opponent's pokemon. I use it when either Metagross' HP is low (after he used agility), or if it is my opponent's last pokemon. If I make a mistake or something this time, can you please not close this thread? Can you just inform me of any mistakes, and I'll correct them when I have the time? Please rate.

Well, my Metagross knows Earthquake, and unless your Jolteon knows thunder wave, my Metagross can use agility to become faster. Plus he can use Explosion. I also just recently taught my Salamence Earthquake as well. After a Dragon Dance, he could OHKO your Jolteon, unless it holds a focus sash or shuca berry. Also, what move does Jolteon know that could possibly OHKO Roserade. Jolteon can't learn any fire, ice, flying, or psychic attacks. No offense though. Jolteon is a great pokemon. I remember having him in my red version a long time ago.

In what universe is 5 a big number? Blaze Kick hits a whole lot for me. And maybe its not Blaziken's signiture move anymore, but in my eyes it is. Plus its the move that made him famous.

Okay, I'll teach Salamence Earthquake. I'll just use my extra Swellow when I need to Fly. I not only like Blaze Kick's high crit ratio, but also because it is Blaziken's signiture move and looks uber cool on PBR. And like I said before, no recoil. and it only has 5 less accuracy than FLare Blitz, not too much of a difference. Also, when I battle other players, I always keep my cool and don't get mad (maybe a little annoyed, but never mad). If I lose, I lose, and usually ask for a rematch. I mean, Pokemon battles are all about having fun, right? I posted for help, but I did not say I would take all of it. I'm posting for suggestions, but I'm not making it so every suggestion is set in stone. I also rotate pokemon back and forth, but when I use pokemon on my team, I use my whole team.

I have gone up against a lot of those in wifi. I haven't won every time, but I've actually done pretty well, with only a few losses. I don't like recoil moves, so I probably won't teach Blaziken Flare Blitz. And I'm not sure about choice band, since it only allows one move. Question: would a choice band make it so Blaziken's Blaze Kick would hit for the same damage that a critical hit would? Cause if not, I probably won't use it. And if I replace Shadow Claw, it would probably be with Stone Edge, or Earthquake to deal with Infernape. By the way, should I replace Salamence's Fly with Earthquake, Stone Edge, or some other move? Infernape may be better than Blaziken, but guess what? I. don't. care. Blaziken will always be on my team, and nothing anyone could ever do or say will change that. And that goes double for the rest of my team. Hey, when you find a team that works for you, how could you ever abandon them?

Well, I wouldn't actually call him my "lead", I just keep him on the top of my team roster in-game. I rarely use him to start out with, unless my opponent has a lot of dark, grass or bug types. Thank goodness the Battle Frontier and PBR let you choose the pokemon in your team that your going to send out first. When battling a friend, I always adjust my team fittingly. I keep Blaziken's shadow claw for going up against pokemon like Gallade. Can any of Blaziken's other moves OHKO a Gallade? I'm not too sure. I'm only able to play wifi at my friend's house. The wifi at my house isn't working, or rather I just can't connect to it.

I know it is just a game, but still, "tools to complete the game"?! Dude, thats cold.

I could, but it would be at level 100, so I couldn't EV train it.

Dude, I just have this to say. You'd be suprised. Also. Don't diss Blaziken. I started with him. The bond between trainer and starter is very strong. But you may (and probably are) right about Salamence's Fly. I'll consider replacing it. Maybe. I am considering wish on Gardevoir. But what should I replace. I kind of like Focus Blast cause it defends her against dark types (4x damage on Tyrannitar!) and is useful if she is ever up against a Steelix (I would normally switch out, but what if she is my last pokemon!?). And Calm Mind is a must. Thunderbolt is what helped take out my friend's Starmie, and is useful against Gyarados and Yanmegas, so I think I want to keep it. So I'm still not sure. And if I do give Blaziken a Focus Sash, I'd probably teach him Reveral. Actually, a better combo would be Endure/Salac Berry/Reversal, but I'm not sure if I want to do that, cause Milotic holds the Salac Berry, and it is good on her.
