Naw i was just trolling you.

 

I dont like that little mouse thing, and im basing my team on ones i havent used before.

 

 

 

And im not TMing any of mine until I actually get some decent ones, so no ice beam for nerdtillery.

 

Still has high atk and sp atk.

Oh I see lol. I thought you were serious about going into a semi-competitive battle with Aurora Beam and Psybeam... XD

 

 

 

Still, I have a new team I made. It's completely UU, and it's working out semi-OK so far. If you want I'll battle you sometime with it. Or anyone else. It's on Shoddy right now but I could build a similar team pretty fast on the DS, and since WiFi lets you raise all Pokemon to 100, leveling doesn't matter.

[RayOxide]

No my octillery is only like level 37 atm, so :lol: i dont think it has many good things.

 

 

 

Im working a team until the E4, keeping one or 2 and changing the rest - so I just want to finish the main storyline so I can get on.

I'm just wondering; Does anyone IV-breed? Or does everyone just use AR for competitive pokes?

[Misterknowitall]

Has anyone seen the Giratina movie and is it any good?

Are you asking about people here or elsewhere?

 

 

 

I didn't use AR codes (past tense since I haven't touched the game for a while now) except for cloning (for event Pokemon) and no timer (for VS Seeker and Pokeradar, walking around between activations got redundant).

 

 

 

The best way to IV Breed is to just use two hacked parents (trade for them on Gamefaqs or something) with 31 in all, then pretty much every child with have two 31s... just keep hatching until you get the 31s where you want them and you have the right nature (use an everstone). Going for near perfects is a waste of time.

 

 

 

However, you could just also play on Shoddy or Netbattle, which is a simulator that lets you use whatever IVs you want.

Yes I saw it 3 times.

 

 

 

It is very good.

Excellent! I'll check it out when the DVD is released.

I asked people here. But I have yet to see a forum/community (all sorts) with pokemon fanatics who don't use AR, and it bugs me, as I play and breed so-called "legit" pokemon myself without any hacks at all.

 

 

 

And I used to play Shoddy, on the Smogon server, but with Shaymin S and the Rotoms I have grown tired of it.

I'd be an AR user that does that too. I can't stand all of those maxed IV hacks.

 

Used mine to fill the Pokedex, get items, and get some shinies I thought looked better than the regular forms (Umbreon ) though, so really can't talk about legit vs. hacks. I have more fun building the team than using it *shrug*

[RayOxide]

My team is now;

 

 

 

Blaziken

 

Garchomp

 

Octillery

 

Torterra

 

Staraptor

 

Alakazam.

[Riku3220]

My team is now;

 

 

 

Blaziken

 

Garchomp

 

Octillery

 

Torterra

 

Staraptor

 

Alakazam.

 

Too many starters.

[RayOxide]

This is until I beat the E4.

 

 

 

THEN my team will change alot. TRUST ME.

 

 

 

Octillery has a great movepool - torterra is my fave starter ever, Blaziken is the best fire type i could get - and its by far the best non legendary =P, Garchomp.. 'nuff said. Staraptor is really kinda built atm.

 

And alakazam is my favourite pokemon evar.

 

 

 

Actually..

 

 

 

Torterra

 

Alakazam

 

Staraptor

 

Octillery

 

AND:

That's quite owned.

 

:P

 

 

 

I plan on using blaziken and garchomp then, thanks o.o

EDIT BUTTON BROKE.

 

wont load again :roll:

 

 

 

Anyways, I thought of something.

 

Marowak with thick club = 2x attack right?

 

It has a base 110 defence, and base 80 attack.

 

So thats base 160 attack and 110 defence with the club right?

 

Add that with swords dance at least ONE time, and you get serious epicness.

 

EV's into attack and speed, add in Thunderpunch and, say, iron defence if you want to be defensive. Or something like Firepunch.

 

 

 

Thunderpunch and firepunch to defend against grass/water types.

 

Add this with gyarados.

 

(Earthquake doesnt hit gyarados, but hits a rock type which would take out gyarados, while marowaks ability, lightningrod, takes all electric hits)

 

 

 

I win.

[RayOxide]

^Majorly epic.

 

 

 

Any pokenerds on? :XD:

Wouldn't discharge counter lighning rod due to it hitting everything.

Also, Gyarados shouldn't be fearing electric anyways. There's always Jolteons, Electivires, Gliscors, or something else waiting behind the lines to take Gyarados's spot. People rarely go after Gyara with an electric attack until they have scouted out the opponent's team, or have little to no choice.

 

 

 

Unfortunately, most Stone Edges are also used unSTABed nowadays. You don't see a lot of rock types anyhow... barring everyone's hated/favorite Tyranitar.

 

 

 

Speaking of Tyranitar, it's usually status, sandstorm/hail, and stealth rock that gets to Gyarados, not his electric or rock weakness.

[Roberthree]

Electivire can get some amazing type coverage. Thunder punch, ice punch, cross chop and earthquake gives Electivire super effective attacks against 13 types. Add in an expert belt (Damage increase of 20% when attack is super effective) or a life orb (Damage is increased 30% but each attack causes 10% damage to the user) and you can do some pretty good damage. Electivire has 123 base attack.

 

 

 

As for Scizor, I don't know too much about him...

 

 

 

LOL @ sweeper with 95 speed and 75 BP STAB. Scizor is [bleep]ing amazing, one weakness, several resists, Tech bullet punch and swords dance make him a better sweeper than vire will ever be.

 

 

 

If you spend a month reading Smogon instead of serebii or tip.it your battling skills and team building skills will incease dramatically. Smogon appeals to the less-kidy aspects of pokemon, the numbers and mind games. less about looks and such.

 

 

 

 

Marowak with thick club = 2x attack right?

 

Attack power or speed alone will not make a good sweeper. You need both to be effective, marowak and rampardos suck for those reasons.

[Alg]

The one thing that always makes me discount Scizor is that the one weakness is 4x Fire. A lot of special sweepers probably carry a fire attack, or at least they would if they were mine.

[RayOxide]

Noone uses discharge in OU/UU play, its usually thunderbolt or thunder since more pokemon learn it and both are stronger :|

 

 

 

Never said I wanted Marowak to be much of a sweeper, I wanted to see if I could add him into my new after game team, and with thick club, it can have base 500+ attack on a hindering nature at lv 100.

 

 

 

So I got a skorupi - lonely natured with snipe, bred with screech and x scissor. =s

[Alg]

Theory:

 

Sniper + Scope Lens + critical supportive attacks.

 

:thumbsup:

 

 

 

That's how I play Pokemon :lol: . Come up with things like that, raise the thing, never test it :lol:

Really? Cause I personally have to say that a porygonz w/ discharge, partnered with an electivire = awesome. A speed boost for my heavy hitter while sending out damage to the opponent's pokemon fails to look like a bad thing to me.

[RayOxide]

In pokemon competative play, there's no real use of powering up your pokemon like that, scoot.

 

As swords dance/nasty plot often does enough of it, and many pokemon can OHKO others just after one.

 

Teams are also more tactical really.
