  1. First off, EVs are divisible by 4. Having 255 EVs in one stat is wasteful. The most any one stat should have is 252. The standard spread means 252/252/6 meaning you get 4 EVs in one stat which gives you a +1 boost, which might mean the difference between being KOed and being able to KO.

    Your team continues to have little thought put into it. I don't care what anyone else says, the first Pokemon in your post is your lead. Blaziken has very little use as a lead.

    I think you should take out the 3 OU Pokemon and make an UU team. This rate, for the sake of this being an OU team, will take the reverse approach.

    As potato said, Roserade is a very popular lead. With the decrease in suicide leads and increase in bulky leads, Roserade can fire off a Sleep Powder and lay down Toxic Spikes.

    Roserade w/ Focus Sash

    Timid

    Natural Cure

    252 sp atk/252 speed/6 HP

    - Sleep Powder

    - Leaf Storm/Energy Ball/Grass Knot

    - HP Fire/HP Ice/Hyper Beam/Sludge Bomb

    - Toxic Spikes

    Sleep Powder on the first turn, lay down Toxic Spikes until you die or got to two. From there, you got your STAB Grass as your primary attack. Each has it's advantages and disadvantages:

    • Leaf Storm: Overall most powerful. But doesn't have 100% accuracy, and will drop your sp atk by two stages each time it hits. This makes it very easy for a counter to come in, even ones with SE weaknesses, after 1-2 uses of it.
    • Energy Ball: Accurate, hits everything the same.
    • Grass Knot: Only real reason to use this is if you are REALLY worried about Tyranitar an Swampert. This'll hit light waters like Vaporeon for laughable amounts of damage.

    HP Fire and HP Ice really help round out it's offensive attacks. However, I'm guessing you are playing on Wi-Fi, and it's hard to breed for HPs without hacking or messing with the RNG. since Roserade isn't expected to live for long, Hyper Beam is an okay-ish attack. Sludge Bomb gives you a second STAB, but sucks because of allthe steels around.

    HOWEVER, part of a Roserade team is the rest of the team. It's best use is on a team that is going to set up entry hazards and abuse them. That means some non-lead is probably going to lay down Stealth Rock (which you don't have), and a Whirlwind/Roar user is very helpful. You also need to have someone to block Rapid Spin (IE Ghost) also something you don't have.

    Basically, Roserade forces you to re-vamp your team. I'm not going to fix your team for you, but I can at least tell you why these aren't serving you well.

    Blaziken really isn't doing anything that Infernape can't already do. Infernape has the power and the speed to run a Choice Band set. And, on top of all that, it has access to U-Turn to scout out threats. Blaziken has much better offensive stats and, in UU, is a great wall breaker and sweeper because it doesn't have as many high speed threats to worry about. All the power Blaziken packs won't matter if everyone can outrun it.

    The one possible area in which I think Blaziken could actually serve in OU is a Choice Scarf Revenge Killer. It's got 3 base speed more than Heatran, and can either go all physical/special or mix it up. However, it doesn't have Heatran's immunity to Fire, Poison, and only resists steel and grass by .5 compared to Heatran's .25.

    If you do choose Choice Scarf Blaziken, then Flare Blitz and Superpower are fine moves since you're going to be switching out.

    Gardevoir, in OU, is needless set up. Gengar gives you 5 base special attack more without needing to set up Calm Mind, a LOT more speed, and trades out Gardevoir's defenses for THREE IMMUNITIES. Two of these immunities are from the most common type attacks in the game, fighting and ground. This also gives you a Rapid Spin blocker.

    Gengar w/ Choice Specs

    Timid

    Levitate

    252 sp atk/252 speed/6 HP

    - Shadow Ball

    - Thunderbolt

    - Energy Ball/Focus Blast/Icy Wind

    - Trick

    Shadow Ball gives you STAB. Thunderbolt gives you great coverage and able to revenge kill some bulky waters. Energy Ball lets you finish off some annoying Swamperts. Focus Blast can be very unreliable but some people love it. Icy Wind is your substitute for HP Ice, but also lowers speed by one stage.

    Trick is your solution to stop Blissey, Snorlax, and Tyranitar from setting up on you.

    Normally I'd also throw in suggestions for Destiny Bond or Explosion, but you need Gengar to stay alive to continue blocking Rapid Spin.

    Salamence is fine. Watch out the PP on Fire Blast because it can easily be pressure stalled.

    Milotic is, well, it can work in OU, but I don't think your set is the best. IT's best set is Rest Talk because that lets it use it's ability, but there's no shortage of bulky waters who don't need to Rest Talk to be bulky. So generally, it's better to run Vaporeon or Suicune or swampert. All of which have access to Roar, which you REALLY, really, need.

    Also, Hypnosis and Mirror Coat are not legal on the same set. Milotic is female only, so egg move combinations are very limited.

    Metagross can work as is, if you ditch Agility for Stealth Rock, and probably explode as soon as possible.

    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....

  2. 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.

    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!).

  3. 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.

  4. Well for me i thought Up to johto The pokemon anime was pretty good..But i thought ruby//sapphire games were pretty good until i saw the anime..Misty was awsome and they took her out for some mother ****ing girl named ''May'' and if i am not correct the same voice actor for misty/nurse joy/may/dawn did all of those characters ''correct me if i am wronge''.

    ~Mori

    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.

  5. Uber#5

    [sprite]006[/sprite]

    Ash's Charizard

    Okay, at least this one makes sense... somewhat. But still, it shouldn't take EVERYTHING down with its HAX0R Flamethrower! It takes down Articuno (poor Ice types! Stop PICKING ON THEM and HUMILIATING THEM!), takes Gary's Blastoise down and loses to a certain fighting chicken. That's retarded.

    So what caused you to stop watching the anime?

    Hey, watch it!!! Blaziken is my favorite pokemon! Don't diss Blaziken!:mad:

    I have not stopped watching the anime, and I never will.

  6. 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.

  7. Hello There.

    My Jolteon would probably OHKO most of your team. :tongue: Unless you have a powerful priority move, or Choiced.

    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.

  8. 5 accuracy is a lot, when you consider that your fire move will be your primary STAB, and you'll use it quite a bit. I've had plenty of games ruined by 85 and 90 accuracy moves.

    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.

  9. Whoops forgot Mamoswine in that list... :x

    But an effective team would be more than what most people can handle though. Those are main threats you should make sure you have checks for. Salamence would like Earthquake as its auxiliary move though, as it provides great coverage against steels who resist Outrage. Fire Blast is for Skarmory or Bronzong.

    Recoil moves are annoying, but eventually you will realize that the extra power is usually worth it. It just is not in-game because you are fighting multiple trainers in there >.<

    Would you hate it when Blaze Kick misses that OHKO you needed when it was crucial at that point... or worse, let it miss? o_o

    Of course it is your decision, so I cannot change your mind.

    Besides, Choice Band would be perfect because let's face it, are you leaving Blaziken in all the time? It is usually going to stay in or switch out. I believe a Choice Band Superpower is enough to OHKO Infernapes anyhow. Stone Edge should replace Shadow Claw for flying dragons like Salamence and Dragonite. CB will make Intimidate not as frightening at least, and so I believe it can even OHKO Salamence if it hits (when it switches in of course, do NOT ever leave Blaziken in Salamence unless you are SURE it is going to Dragon Dance at that turn and your Stone Edge will hit).

    Critical hit does 2x damage, Choice Band raises it to 1.5x, so crits win out, but if you are depending on critical hits to get to you, then something is wrong. Unless you were facing me, the bad luck magnet, then you should not rely on critical hits.

    And props for not using Infernape... I hate that guy for usurping Blaziken >.>

    And if it works for you then it works. But you posted it here to be rated and fixed right? That's what we are doing... and there are some things I believe you should fix. Also, it is all right to rotate Pokemon back and forth. For example, I do not even stick with the same Pokemon all the time. I rotate them (although mostly without thought >.<) to keep my opponent guessing.

    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.

  10. The way you posted made me assume it was a lead. All right :/

    Stone Edge still hurts Gallade anyways, and Flare Blitz does more damage on Gallade than Shadow Claw... I think it even OHKOs with a Choice Band as none of them really invests in HP or Defense unlike his twin Gardevoir. Besides you should have other counters to Gallade if he is a big concern. Metagross can handle them as long as they are not using something like Choice Band Close Combat or that evil Will-o-Wisp (!!!)

    BTW the way you EV everyone, they are EVd offensively when many of them should play a slightly defensive role, like Gardevoir or Milotic. I can suggest new sets for them too if you would like, because I wonder how they fare. Also, there is something called Team Synergy... as in, how well can they support each other? If you have a team that is weak to something like, let's say, Gyarados, then that is not a good thing. You will have to find a way to deal with most things you may encounter in the standard metagame. Here is a list of Pokemon you may find quite commonly in standard metagame:

    - Aerodactyl

    - Alakazam

    - Azelf

    - Blissey

    - Breloom

    - Bronzong

    - Celebi*

    - Cresselia

    - Donphan

    - Dragonite

    - Dugtrio

    - Dusknoir

    - Electivire

    - Empoleon

    - Flygon

    - Forretress

    - Gengar

    - Gliscor

    - Gyarados

    - Heatran

    - Heracross

    - Hippowdon

    - Infernape

    - Jirachi*

    - Jolteon

    - Kingdra

    - Lucario

    - Machamp

    - Magmortar

    - Magnezone

    - Metagross

    - Milotic

    - Moltres

    - Ninjask

    - Porygon2

    - Porygon-Z

    - Raikou

    - Roserade

    - Salamence

    - Scizor

    - Skarmory

    - Smeargle

    - Snorlax

    - Starmie

    - Suicune

    - Swampert

    - Tentacruel

    - Togekiss

    - Tyranitar

    - Vaporeon

    - Weavile

    - Yanmega

    - Zapdos

    * denotes rare event Pokemon so you may not even see them. Legendaries are also not so common in Wifi if their IVs and nature are bad or something.

    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?

  11. I'm glad you play by your favorites (I do too with stuff like Politoed or obscure stuff like Delibird) but if you want to use them competitively you have to make sure you have things to check for common threats in the standard metagame. I believe you play on Wifi so things are thankfully different from Shoddy. So... let us get to the rating...

    Blaziken (male)

    Nature: Jolly

    Ability: Blaze

    Item: Scope Lens

    EVs: 255 ATK / 255 SPEED

    Moves:

    Blaze Kick

    Shadow Claw

    Thunderpunch

    Sky Uppercut

    If you are going this route, I would put Choice Band in it. But as a lead, that is not so great. Things like Aerodactyl and Swampert can mess this set over 1000 times over. The two Pokemon in your team that would make better leads are Metagross and Roserade. But if you are persistent with making Blaziken your lead, then I suppose I can make a set for you...

    [sprite]257[/sprite]

    Blaziken @ Focus Sash

    Hasty Nature (to make Counter stronger)

    EVs: 252 Atk/252 Speed

    Moves:

    - Counter (move tutor in FRLG's Celadon Department Store OR breed with Vigoroth who learns it at level 37 and kill two birds with one stone)

    - Quick Attack

    - Overheat/Protect (TM50/TM17)

    - Reversal (breed with Vigoroth who learns it at level 49)

    This requires you to breed and get another Blaziken... but... it is basically an anti-lead, but unfortunately you will lose to something like Infernape leads who carry Fake Out. If beating Infernape is your main priority, try using Protect on the first turn, then proceed to Counter their Close Combat and Quick Attack if they are carrying Focus Sash. It requires prediction to pull this set off, but that is using Blaziken at its best potential as a lead. Otherwise, move it away as your lead Pokemon and use it in its greater potential as a wallbreaker... like add Fire Blast and some of its special attacks since its power is high enough on both sides of the spectrum. If you insist on your physical Blaziken, I would raise its power with Choice Band, and replace Blaze Kick with Flare Blitz and use the Survival Area's move tutor to teach it Superpower over Sky Uppercut (it's a shame that they did not teach Blaziken Close Combat... I don't like Infernape X_X). You can also go Earthquake or Brave Bird as your auxiliary move to replace Shadow Claw, because let's face it. That low power on Shadow Claw does not do enough damage without STAB and Flare Blitz does more power on Psychics and Ghosts anyhow. Earthquake takes care of stuff like Occa Berry Metagross and Infernape who Blaziken REALLY wants to kill, but if you are banded, you are left helpless when some flier switches in. Brave Bird is another option but it is another kamikaze attack and does not provide much coverage. I would HATE recommending this move, but Stone Edge fits there so that stuff like Salamence can get nailed hard when they switch in. Despite that shaky accuracy thus making one of the worst moves in the game, Stone Edge can be helpful.

    I have an exam to study for and this ALWAYS happens, but I will finish with the rest of your team later. Good luck.

    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.

  12. Pointless lead that serves no real purpose. Swampert, Aerodactyl, Bronzong, and Azelf all have moves that can easily KO it and will even get to set up SR. This doesn't do anything to stop them at all.

    I could go on and rate the rest of the team, but you basically took 6 Pokemon and threw them together and called them a team. Along with the fairly poor EV spreads such as 255 and the useless move Fly (which should only ever be used on Flygon), I can't see this team doing much against a competent player.

    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.

  13. 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?

  14. 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.)

    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.

  15. Voice of Sentimentalism: [icon]144[/icon] from my Blue version gave me the best memories ever. It was one of the most useful Pokemon ever and I had a lot of fun with it. Although... my file is deleted along with my precious Articuno itself... :(

    Voice of Reality: But they are a bunch of digital bytes and whatnot... what do I care?

    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.

  16. Am I allowed to post my pokemon team here? If not can someone move this thread to the correct forum?

  17. 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.

  18. 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.
