Sukotto50

Thank you both very much for all the advice. I have considered using Tentacruel, but am more than willing to give it a try on my team. As for Dragonite, I would like to give it a chance, but am not sure where to fit it in. Perhaps replacing Toxicroak or Rotom? Any suggestions?

Thank you very much for the assistance. I like the idea of using another move in place of hypnosis on Politoed, and have considered running a different rotom set due to the fact that hidden power fire is weakened. I did make the change on Toxicroak from leftovers to black sludge. It was a great choice as someone did try to trick me out, and ended up being hurt in the process. Thank you again.

@randomspot555: Yeah, I was expecting something entirely different on the Scizor (why I Protected first). He must have been new to the competitive world. I know I've been there. @ Wraith89: Thank you for the sprites; really makes a better impression. Totally blown away that Gliscor out sped Salamence, but as mentioned above, he must have been new to competitive battling. Thankfully, I had people like you, randomspot, Mewtwo EX, and Tbird to help me become a better battler.

I found it very ironic that not five minutes after posting a team building discussion and questioning the usefulness of the Gliscor I have on my team, this battle happened. Hope you enjoy.

It's been a while since I last posted a team for assistance. With the introduction of the new weather inducing abilities in Gen 5, I wanted to try my hand at making one of my own. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance. [hgsssprite]186[/hgsssprite] Politoed (M) @ Leftovers Trait: Drizzle EVs: 252 HP / 4 SAtk / 252 SDef Calm Nature (+SDef, -Atk) - Scald - Ice Beam - Hypnosis - Protect My lead for the specific role of weather induction, and to some extent a special wall. [sprite]479-2[/sprite] Rotom-W @ Leftovers Trait: Levitate EVs: 128 HP / 252 SAtk / 128 Spd Timid Nature (+Spd, -Atk) - Thunderbolt - Hydro Pump - Will-O-Wisp - Hidden Power [Fire] My special attacker and, through experience, a valuable asset to a Rain team. Ferrothorn (M) @ Leftovers Trait: Iron Barbs EVs: 252 HP / 4 Def / 252 SDef Relaxed Nature (+Def, -Spd) - Spikes - Stealth Rock - Power Whip - Gyro Ball My physical wall and trap setter. Prefer Ferrothorn in this set since one of the greatest threats to him is his fire weakness, which is quickly remedied by the rain, leaving fighting as the considerable danger. [sprite]454[/sprite] Toxicroak (M) @ Leftovers Trait: Dry Skin EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spd Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk) - Drain Punch - Sucker Punch - Substitute - Bulk Up My primary physical attacker, and probably the most benefited by the rain thanks to dry skin. [hgsssprite]091[/hgsssprite] Cloyster (M) @ Life Orb Trait: Skill Link EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SDef / 252 Spd Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk) - Icicle Spear - Rock Blast - Ice Shard - Shell Smash My secondary physical sweeper, though I feel that I have been on the wall with Cloyster. Ice shard has come in handy to finish off weak opponents and the dragon/flying and ground/flying foes. Considering replacing with a spinner such as Starmie, but would love some feedback. [sprite]472[/sprite] Gliscor (M) @ Toxic Orb Trait: Poison Heal EVs: 6 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spd Jolly Nature (+Spd, -SAtk) - Earthquake - Ice Fang - Swords Dance - Protect I love the ability on Gliscor, and use his typing to the fullest when an electric attack is aimed at one of my waters. However, I haven't managed to really use him to his fullest. Thanks again for any comments and suggestions that are given. I anxiously await hearing from what people have to say.
