I do like Typhlosion...

I tried this team out a while back on Shoddy, and the Mind Reader + Sheer Cold combination didn't work. Is it always like that?

I've yet to get one. D:

Granted. Now it can learn Defog. I wish someone would post after me.

Here's a great guide for spriting, if you're interested in making sprites.

Errr....is that right? Michu should have Speed Boost too, then.

Sorry. D: I was trying to make them more balanced, but it's harder than it looks. Actually, now that I take a good look a Michu's other stats, you could probably put it to like 160 or something, since it's other stats look fairly poor.

Possible changes to stats.

Hmm...several suggestions: 1) Decrease its movepool. 2) Give a harmful side effect to the ability. 3) Lower the stats even more. 4) Lollipops? 5) Make it so only the pre-evolution has White Mist. @Pokemonfan: Good idea. I'm pretty sure we all have overpowered rodents, but balance is better, right? [noparse][/noparse] @Wraith (again) Garchomp and Wobbuffet.

...that your madeup Pokemon is lacking, Wraith [noparse][/noparse] I don't think Agility or even Calm Mind is a good idea because Stormbus isn't made to be a sweeper. Remember that an auto-haze ability is pretty game-breaking, since your opponent has no way to stop you from switching Stormbus in. @ Pokemonfan: Nice copy and paste of the TM list [noparse][/noparse] Glad to see that it can't learn HMs.

Stormbus could use Choice Specs or it could use Rain Dance and Hydro Pump and Thunder for sweeping related fun. 71 Base speed isn't too bad. Obviously it's not going to be able to sweep 6-0, but for taking down set-up sweeper, it would be useful. @Pokemonfan You should have the base stats for all the Pokemon in the evolutionary line and the moves learned at each level for each one. Also, you should try to space the moves more evenly (five moves in six levels at the end isn't normal)

Stormbus looks like it could be a decent sweeper, so that shouldn't be much of a problem.

From what I can tell, Stormbus has a very diverse movepool and the ability to take advantage of any weather. I'm pretty sure that was the intention, but firing off Hydro Pump, Thunder, Shadow Ball, Energy Ball, Dark Pulse, etc. under the rain with a decent Special Attack AND removing the opposition's stat-ups seems too good. Earthquake is okay, I guess, because it's Attack isn't so great. I know it was intentional, but there are too many [noparse][/noparse]

I think its stats can be lowered some more. Its main use is basically the auto-haze, right? It also looks like it learns too many moves naturally, and there are quite a few levels where it learns two or more moves at once. Nitpicky stuff: The level-up movepool usually has some sort of pattern to it. Some TMs and tutor moves should probably be dropped, like Earthquake and Dive. I'm probably missing some more important stuff, so I'll come back to this later.

This guide is pretty useful for making your own Pokemon.
