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.

I hope I put this in the right section NOW. If not, can someone point me to the right section. Except for Roserade, I've had this team since Hoenn. Here they are...again. Blaziken (male) Nature: Jolly Ability: Blaze Item: Scope Lens EVs: 255 ATK / 255 SPEED Moves: Blaze Kick Shadow Claw Thunderpunch Sky Uppercut Basically, my lead pokemon. And don't tell me to replace him with Infernape. Though Infernape may be better, Blaziken has been with me since Hoenn, and I could never replace him. He holds the scope lens to make the critical hit ratios of Blaze Kick and Shadow Claw 40%. 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 The first pokemon I caught on my journey in hoenn, my Gardevoir uses calm mind to power up, then unleash devestating special attacks. And before anyone says anything, you'd be suprised, cause my Gardevoir's Focus Blast hits quite often. Salamence (male) Nature: Jolly Ability: Intimidate Item: Yache Berry EVs: 255 ATK / 255 SPEED Moves: Outrage Fly Fire Blast (may replace with Fire Fang) Dragon Dance The main sweeper of my team. I know Garchomp may be better, but I will always prefer Salamence. With his Yache Berry, he can survive an ice type attack (which are all too common) so he can use his dragon dance/outrage combo. Fly is mainly to get around in-game, but it can be useful in battle as well. 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 Roserade is the member of my team that specializes in putting the opponent to sleep, then attacking with impressive special attack. I wass going to teach her hidden power, but it turned out to be dark, which covers the same types as shadow ball. So I just decided to keep shadow ball. Milotic (female) Nature: Modest Ability: Marvel Scale Item: Salac Berry EVs: 255 SP.ATK / 255 SPEED Moves: Ice Beam Recover Hydro Pump Mirror Coat Milotic is my team's water pokemon. With Mirror Coat, she can send back any spcial attacks she is hit with at double the damage, useful because she can usually survive most special hits. Plus, since her HP gets low in the process, the Salac Berry makes her faster, so that she can either finish the next opponent off quickly, or recover before they can KO her. I didn't teach her surf because in double battle, surf hurts your ally as well, and I do't want to take a chance with that. Metagross (genderless) Nature: Adamant Ability: Clear Body Item: Life Orb Moves: Meteor Mash Agility Ice Punch Earthquake EVs: 204 ATK / 152 SP.DEF/ 154 SPEED Metagross is good to switch into another pokemon, especially if it is going to use a move that steel resists. Agility makes Metagross fast, and I mean FAST (his speed is 214!). The Life Orb he carries makes it so all of Metagross' attacks hit pretty hard, so once he is fast enough, he is difficult to take down. I found out their EVs, so I listed them. So, unless this one is closed too, any tips?

I accidentally posted this in the wrong section. But I've got it right now. And before anyone says otherwise, this is my competitive team, not in-game (though it works there too.) Anyway, here they are: Blaziken (male) Nature: Jolly Ability: Blaze Item: Scope Lens Moves: Blaze Kick Shadow Claw Thunderpunch Sky Uppercut EVs: 252 ATK / 252 SPEED Stats: HP: 301 Atk: 339 Def: 176 Sp.Atk:230 Sp.Def: 176 Speed: 284 Gardevoir (female) Nature: Timid Ability: Synchronize Item: Lum Berry Moves: Psychic Calm Mind Focus Blast ThunderboltEVs: 188 SP.ATK / 64 DEF / 252 SPEED Stats: HP: 277 Atk: 149 Def: 182 Sp.Atk: 333 Sp.Def: 266 Speed: 284 Salamence (male) Nature: Jolly Ability: Intimidate Item: Yache Berry Moves: Outrage Fly Fire Blast (may replace with Fire Fang) Dragon Dance Stats: EVs: 252 ATK / 252 SPEED HP: 331 Atk: 369 Def: 196 Sp.Atk: 230 Sp.Def: 196 Speed: 328 Roserade (female) Nature: Timid Ability: Natural Cure Item: Black Sludge Moves: Energy Ball Shadow Ball Sludge Bomb Sleep Powder EVs: 190 SP. ATK / 66 DEF / 252 SPEED Stats: HP: 261 Atk: 158 Def: 162 Sp.Atk: 333 Sp.Def: 246 Speed: 306 Milotic (female) Nature: Modest Ability: Marvel Scale Item: Salac Berry Moves: Ice Beam Recover Hydro Pump Mirror Coat EVs: 252 SP.ATK / 252 SPEED Stats: HP: 331 Atk: 140 Def: 194 Sp.Atk: 328 Sp.Def: 286 Speed: 261 Metagross (genderless) Nature: Adamant Ability: Clear Body Item: Life Orb Moves: Meteor Mash Agility Ice Punch Earthquake EVs: 202 ATK / 152 SP.DEF/ 152 SPEED Stats: HP: 301 Atk: 392 Def: 296 Sp.Atk: 203 Sp.Def: 254 Speed: 214 Tell me what you think. I'm not sure how to calculate EVs, but what I have listed are my closest estimates. Oh, and one thing, I don't like to teach two of my team pokemon the same moves, or give them the same items. Its kind of my style.

Dude, just because they are in a game, doesn't mean it is wrong to actually care about them. Sometimes its like this: Voice of Reality = BORING!!!! Anyway, I cared about my team from hoenn so much, that I reraised them in sinnoh, with the addition of a Roserade. Like I said, I have a very active imagination, so I like to pretend that the pokemon I have are actual creatures. I don't go too far with that though.

Am I allowed to post my pokemon team here? If not can someone move this thread to the correct forum? Anyway, here they are: Blaziken (male) Nature: Jolly Ability: Blaze Item: Scope Lens Moves: Blaze Kick Shadow Claw Thunderpunch Sky Uppercut Stats: HP: 301 Atk: 339 Def: 176 Sp.Atk:230 Sp.Def: 176 Speed: 284 Gardevoir (female) Nature: Timid Ability: Synchronize Item: Lum Berry Moves: Psychic Calm Mind Focus Blast Thunderbolt Stats: HP: 277 Atk: 149 Def: 182 Sp.Atk: 333 Sp.Def: 266 Speed: 284 Salamence (male) Nature: Jolly Ability: Intimidate Item: Yache Berry Moves: Outrage Fly Fire Blast Dragon Dance Stats: HP: 331 Atk: 369 Def: 196 Sp.Atk: 230 Sp.Def: 196 Speed: 328 Roserade (female) Nature: Timid Ability: Natural Cure Item: Black Sludge Moves: Energy Ball Shadow Ball Sludge Bomb Sleep Powder Stats: HP: 261 Atk: 158 Def: 162 Sp.Atk: 333 Sp.Def: 246 Speed: 306 Milotic (female) Nature: Modest Ability: Marvel Scale Item: Salac Berry Moves: Ice Beam Recover Hydro Pump Mirror Coat Stats: HP: 331 Atk: 140 Def: 194 Sp.Atk: 328 Sp.Def: 286 Speed: 261 Metagross (genderless) Nature: Adamant Ability: Clear Body Item: Life Orb Moves: Meteor Mash Agility Ice Punch Earthquake Stats: HP: 301 Atk: 392 Def: 296 Sp.Atk: 203 Sp.Def: 254 Speed: 214 Tell me what you think. Oh, and one thing, I don't like to teach two of my team pokemon the same moves, or give them the same items. Its kind of my style.

Mine are...hacked, as you say. Well, I did catch them in the Hall of Origin, so they are kinda legit (does this make me a terrible person. Hey I don't live near a Toys R Us okay, not my fault!) But I keep them in my box.

Does anyone besides me actually care about their pokemon. Ya know, kind of like how trainers in the show care about them (I know, I have a very active imagination). If so, speak up.

I'll admit that Garchomp is better. But that doesn't mean I like Salamence less. Hes been on my team since sapphire version, and no one could replace him.

Hello, I'm GoldTrainer and I just registered here. I hope I will have fun on these forums. To anyone who obtains my friend code for Pokemon Platinum version, you may not always be able to contact me because the Wi-fi at my house isn't working. My Platinum team consists of Blaziken, Gardevoir, Salamence, Roserade, Milotic, and Metagross.
