Well I was kind of going for 'A jack of all' type of thing with the Moltres. Do you think I should be going just the one way or the other then? I'll have a look at some different Offence/defence sets and see what works. I was going for a bit everything For it, so I guess that, if nothing else, just makes it a mess. And I gotta say she's not been exactly great, hence my willingness to change. But I guess simply changing the set is better than changing the whole bloody poke lol. Thanks for all your comments everyone.

Ooo thanks I hadn't thought of Mismagius, and I do really like her. Thanks man. I might try and play around with other moves and sets though; so I wont put her in the OP until I found something workable for me. And I suppose that does make more sense; you know making it fully UU. If someone could change the title to simply Rate my UU team that'd be great.

Purpose? Well I guess that would simply to be in the oddest fashion ever lol. I'm still not very good at the whole making a team though . The above does work until I come up against a team that's pretty much the standard (You know a salamence, a scizor, a blissey, a rotom) then it all kind of goes to pot. So I guess the purpose would be expose the OU pokes to a taste of their own medicine, by using the things that kill them, or are good but get over shadowed/under looked/ or other wise forgotten. (For instance my Ambipom - U-Turn - Swampert covers pretty much every lead you'll come across. I have radically changed my team since I posted this as it started getting blown apart, so although I hate having to change a team due to being up against the above killers, it's all a part of the game. I'm gunna really need a hand with the Swampert set, because although he works better, I just can't get him to work properly. *sigh* I'll amend the OP now.

Hey bud not got time to look at your team yet but you're going to want a bit about your reasoning as to why you chose these pokes and add an opinion maybe note some threats and ask specifically what you want improved/suggested. Otherwise someone'll close the thread. . Just a few quick things... with your Umbreon You should run payback with curse give it 0 spd IV's And maybe take your def EV's and pump the attack because curse already pumps the defence for you. Similarly you might want to run bullet punch over X-Scissor on Scizor. He's not got great speed so the stab and technician priority move works wonders. (However there might be a reason why you chose this, so its best to put your reasoning before hand so people know what to say) Best of luck.

Amendment I realised after reading a comment left by Wraith that my team had no purpose other than to be used. Which, although I think is a reasonable purpose, isn't going to help me in coming up with a good team or win all that much lol. So here's my revamped team, with bit more thought in mind as to what it is I want to do - Simply Put I want to beat everything in a way that makes people go 'Damn I did not see that coming.' (Worked out how to do this quick without typing .. took me Damn near two hours last time ) Mr Jackson (Ambipom) (M) @ Muscle Band Ability: Technician EVs: Jolly nature (+Spd, -SAtk) - Aerial Ace - Fake Out - Taunt - U-turn Ambipom is quite Possibly my favourite Pokemon in the whole world. But what I love about him competitively is his ability to just be awesome. I have always loved Fake-Out just because it's a good way to get the game started; taking the first move while doing amazing damage against those that Aren't made of rock, steel ... or ectoplasm. Taunt is there For obvious Reasons - I have a Moltres on my team, the last thing I need is bloody stealth rock. Aerial ace is there for a good solid attack that is super damaging to fighting types (should they wish to switch in), grass types, bug types blah blah. U-turn is there for when he has done his job - Weakened the opponent's lead and prevented stealth rock/gravity/any other weird business they are trying to pull off. The Ev's and nature are there purely because that is all he needs, get in and get out as quick as he can while doing what he can. Muscle band is used over silk scarf because I want all my moves to get a little something extra, aerial ace and U-turn really need that extra boost just to get significant damage at times. --- Milotic (M) @ Flame Orb Ability: Marvel Scale EVs: 240 HP/12 Def/252 SAtk Bold nature (+Def, -Atk) - Recover - Ice Beam - Surf - Hidden Power [Ground] (Originally Swampert: Willing to revert if you can think of a really good set) Milotic. Well First off you'll notice the flame orb. People have warmed against using it; for obvious reason, but frankly I won't be sending him out against electrics or leafs so I should sustain enough damage to outweigh the 50% defence boost. Anyway, his job is to come in on the things that Ambipom couldn't handle himself, this would be things like Aerodactyl, Regirock, Registeel, Steelix, Lucario etc etc. The plan with Milo is to soak up the attack that was planned for Ambipom (usually an earthquake) and strike back with water ever move is necessary. For instance, I've taunted a Lucario and now I just want to get out of there ASAP, U-turn to Milotic and open up with HP ground (which I think get's a 2HKO, not actually checked it out yet ). He's also a tank of sorts, as you can see with the EV spread. Milotic doesn't really outspeed that much, and I thought I may aswell exploit his already bulky as hell defences and pump his HP and max his SPatk. Just to ensure what ever he's hitting is going down lol. Ice beam for dragons mainly, I was kinda hoping he'd be bulky enough to take on Salamence and win... wishful thinking? Surf - Reliable STAB. HP Ground - the reason for this poke in the first place - take out steels (while being able to get rock and dragons too ) Recover - Needed for the lost HP (which is like 2% more lost than life orb with more benefit; right?) and somewhat justify the choice of Flame orb over leftovers. --- Moltres @ Leftovers Ability: Pressure EVs: 240 HP/38 Def/112 Spd/120 SAtk Bold nature (+Def, -Atk) - Air Slash - Roost - Fire Blast - Hidden Power [ice]/Toxic Note: I'm willing to change him for something else as long as it has the same coverage and isn't called Heatran or Infernape or anything that destroys the initial idea I gotta say I just like bulkiness. I used to love that whole fast as hell, come in whoop ass and that's your lot, but frankly I find bulky sets more exciting, if not for the Spreads being good to look at. I'll level with you, I don't understand the EV's I took them from Smogon. His Job is to basically just be another tank, covering those of which Milotic can't. Air Slash is there for any fighting types that somehow get passed Ambipom (such as Scarfed Infernape). Roost - People like to hit him Fire blast is a very good Stab attack that .. well it destroys things. Come in on weavile's ice shard/brick break and whoop his ass (or Scizor's bullet punch/superpower) HP Ice and Toxic are both really good and kinda determine this set. I could toxic Stall or cover pretty much everything - both work really well so I'm undecided --- Hitmontop (M) @ Black Belt Ability: Intimidate EVs: 252 HP/252 Atk/6 SDef Impish nature (+Def, -SAtk) - Close Combat - Sucker Punch - Stone Edge - Rapid Spin I do really like hitmontop. I have chosen him over my initial Tentacruel because I had a better water type and lacked a fighting type. Again he's kind of tank like - he's a hitmon so naturally has got a really good SPdef, got good attack and can spin. His only deficits are his speed and HP, due to his low speed he wouldn't be able to outpace much and would still have poor HP, sO I thought it'd be best to outpace none and survive more. He's my designated spinner for Moltres and my Blissy/Walrein/Genger counter. Close combat is a good solid STAB attack - obvious choice Sucker punch puts the hurt on incoming Gengar and other ghost that come in to not allow me my rapid spin, OHKO on Gengar so happy days - also for psychics. Stone Edge is for flyers and anyone else that needs an edgin'! Rapid spin - Y'all know why lol. --- Regirock @ Leftovers Ability: Clear Body EVs: 252 HP/36 Atk/220 SDef Careful nature (+SDef, -SAtk) - Stone Edge - Superpower - Explosion - Stealth Rock Regirock is my physical wall and exploder for when the brown stuff hits the fan. He can take hits and hit back hard as hayell. He's also my SR layer. Although I do hate SR; I figure if you can't beat them join them. All he really needs is a reliable healing move and he'd be a God - More of a God. I'm stuck between Stone Edge and Super Power though - They both have their strong points but I'd really like earthquake in there and can't really give up either of the other two moves; your verdict? Stone edge is there for Salamence again should I need too - Come in on outrage and then put the hurtin' on em'! Superpower probably is the one I will remove for Earthquake, however should hitmontop Die I have no one else that can attack normals or dark types - as efficiently anyway Explosion - Can win games if I am 2 - 1 up .. so it's always good SR - as mentioned above. --- Mismagius (M) @ Leftovers Ability: Levitate EVs: 6 HP/252 Spd/252 SAtk Timid nature (+Spd, -Atk) - Shadow Ball - Thunderbolt - Substitute - Calm Mind As recommended. As I'm yet to try her out I can only comment on the theory behind this choice. Other than being recommended - She has a very high speed, spatk and spdef. The strategy, as said below, is to come in on any of her resistances (ground, fighter, normal) or special attacker get a sub, boost up and then get my sweep on. I have chose calm mind over nasty plot because, although it takes longer to get to the desired level of boostage, it boosts the spdef too allowing for a stronger sub meaning more leftover recovery - harder to kill. I have chose Tbolt over HP fighting simply because Honchcrow would appear to be my biggest threat and Tbolt is going to hurt (though if I come up against sucker punch I'm screwed anyway) And because I have Hitmontop to weaker if not take out any darks that threaten to kill her. straught 252/252 because she's a sweeper. Shadow ball for stab. Tbolt already explained Sub CM - kind of the point of this set. ---

Really good points here. I got to say I hate SR. Pretty much just sour grapes on my part. I feel the same as everyone else no need to go over every point again. I wouldn't like to see it banned because then you are just taking away a part of the game. And frankly if someone is packing SR that's one pokemon on there team lost (In a role sense anyway.) People might not like packing a rapid spinner, but you got to think on the other hand the opponent has given up a roll for his SR. It's give and take in that sense. Due to there be so many good and bad points for it to be banned I think it would be a good idea to simply slam a clause into the game wherein a player can decide whether or not he/she wants to be involved with SR. But even that could be detrimental - I mean if you put a clause on any move that has a somewhat valid case behind it we'll all be up the creek when all of a sudden 100 people rise up asking for a ban on sucker punch because Absol keeps killing their Gengar; it'll be hard to say no when they play the 'SR clause' card. So although I'd really love to see SR banned so that I can use some of my favourites more often, and because I think it'd add to the game by creating more choice and allowance of new strategies, I think for the time being it's a case of don't fix what aint broken. (In the same breath I am really really really for the clause idea though :L)

I was going to invest some EV's into the defence but after a bit of discussion it seemed that straight 252/252 could be for the best. Any recommendation for a good EV spread?

Ok well I think this is the first thread that I've created. I hope it goes well . As the title says this is one of my odd sweeps. Which I'm getting a lot of lately ... In order of appearance: Tbird miketoocool34 So yeah that's one of my weird sweeps. I know I made ALOT of bad moves there, but I was panicking and what not. Just glad it all came together in the end. Any thoughts? Thanks for reading. Critique however you see fit. I know there's a million and one mistakes in there.

Hey welcome to the site. It's a really cool place with a lot of well informed (and from what I can see) nice people. Hope you enjoy your stay.

Yeah I was active before, but I never really introduced myself. So I thought I would.

Soul Silver for me. The game was released on the basis of nostalgia alone; so I'm not going to break the nostalgia rules, I'm gonna by the first Johto game that I ever bought ... again lol

An Occurrence During the Restoration Process, by Fair to Midland

Well I been lurking here for ages now .. I mean ages lol, I posted a couple times so you might have seen me, maybe not. You might have also seen me on shoddy. Um a bit about me, I'm Tom, feel free to call me by that too . I'm 18 and I come here and on the shoddy just to kill time. I'm a guitarist ... so naturally I love music . Um anything you wanna know just ask. (P's mewtwo this me being active for ya... now lighten up on me in shoddy )

I had all 150 on yellow (well I did get mew but through the mew glitch, so it doesn't really count) I had blue, red, yellow and silver, so I could obtain all of the 1st gen, and traded through to yellow . I also got most in silver, but a couple I just simply couldn't find and due to me not ever getting gold I couldn't get Ariados, Ursaring, Gligar, Mantine or (of course) Celebi and the starters. And I think I still haven't found Entei lol.

Yanmega. Simply because of how bitterly bitterly disappointed I was because of him. I loved yanma... cool little dragonfly,and I do love me some dragonflies. SO I thought 'I'll work my ass off get me a nice one witha nice set of I'Vs, train him up make him some sort of monster killing bug machine >.' Suffice to say I did do this... Evolution music plays .. oh hell yes! ... I take him to a battle and see this fml.
