The In-Game Team Review Thread

[Pokemon!]

ANYONE wanna comment on my team...pleasseeee?

Okay, I'll do my best.

Here's my team:
lv79
Salamence(f)
Adamant
stats
hp/259
atk/298
def/139
sp.atk/191
sp.def/151
spd/228

held:life orb
draco meteor
aerial ace
stone edge
fire fang

I would replace Draco Meteor with Outrage (or Dragon Claw if you have D/P), as your attack stat is way higher than your special attack stat. I also prefer Fly over aerial ace, but that's just a personal preference.

lv79
Metagross
Careful
stats-
hp/235
atk/264
def/235
sp.atk/141
sp.def/220
spd/138

held:occa berry
magnet rise
earthquake
meteor mash
zen headbutt

No complaints...

lv79
Porygon-z
Serious
stats-
hp/236
atk/145
def/118
sp.atk/280
sp.def/125
spd/185

held:choice specs
tri attack

Good.

lv79
Mamoswine(m)
Lonely
stats-
hp/293
atk/260
def/158
sp.atk/132
sp.def/117
spd/202

held:lum berry
ice shard
earthquake
reflect
light screen

Okay

lv79
Roserade(f)
Calm
stats-
hp/198
atk/111
def/102
sp.atk/242
sp.def/224
spd/203
held:white herb
leaf storm
sludge bomb
growth
attract

You don't need growth. Replace with Hidden Power fire, or if you don't feel like rearranging your stats, synthesis. I would also replace Leaf Storm with Energy Ball, which is, again, a personal preference of mine.

I don't like Attract either, so replace it with Toxic Spikes.

lv81
Empoleon(m)
Modest
hp/229
atk/134
def/198
sp.atk/271
sp.def/209
spd/110

held:focus sash
flash cannon
surf
aqua jet
ice beam

Okay, but replace Surf with Brick Break

Gosh, I hope you have platinum because you can hardly teach anything to your Pokemon in D/P.

[PlatinumDude]

Okay, but what do you need reflect and light screen for? Replace reflect with superpower. Even rock smash would be better than reflect, if you have D/P.

Ever heard of the strategy called "dual screen"?

[Pokemon!]

Ever heard of the strategy called "dual screen"?

Yeah, I thought about it, but I still thought there needed to be coverage against normal types...

Maybe the task would be better suited for Empoleon, with Brick Break replacing Surf.

[DarkT.]

Can someone rate my team? I posted it on the last page.

[Fern 24]

Can someone comment on my team pleeeeeeease

[Jaxon]

Yeah, I thought about it, but I still thought there needed to be coverage against normal types...

Maybe the task would be better suited for Empoleon, with Brick Break replacing Surf.

With reflect up mamoswine can survive 2 stone edges from an adamant tyranitar holding a muscle band.(pwnd on the 3rd hit but earthquake usually 2hkos tyranitar)
And besides there arent many good pure normal types except blissey, snorlax and prygonZ. Most physical moves will swat porygonZ and Blissey dowm.

Also replaced roserade b4 reading this (see my old post for details)

[Jaxon]

I'll just post my top 2:

Absol (Moonshade)(LVL.100)
-Night Slash
-Perish Song
-Swords Dance
-Giga Impact
----My prized Pokemon, Moonshade is my most powerful team member and acts as my Tank/Emergency fighter. When caught in a pickle, I eaither use Moonshade to steamroll or perish song me out. My pride and Joy. :D

Luxray (Blakzap) (LVL. 100)
-Thunder Fang
-Discharge
-Strength
-Thunder
----My Absol's second half, and my zap-tastic second favorite, i can succesfully sweep the post-N.Dex E4 with him. He and Absol make my perfefct double battle team. Love my Blakzap!

This is it? Oh well....

Absol-
1-Get rid of giga impact those kinds of moves are terrible!!! Try psycho cut.
2-Replace perish song with x-scissor
3-Consider sucker punch over night slash
4-Absol? A tank? that's not a very good idea

Luxray-
1-Replace discharge with crunch
2-Replace strenght with return
3-Replace thunder with thunder wave
4-Consider breeding for the other elemental fangs replacing strength and thunder

Hope this helps

You should really consider replacing your Salamence's Draco Meteor with Dragon Claw/Outrage.

[WolfMan]

Hey guys, Umm can you guys help me get ready for the Battle Frontier in Platinum.

Well heres my Team:

Pokemon: Charizard
Special Ability: Blaze
Nature: Quiet
Moves: Heat Wave, Blast Burn, Fly, Outrage

Well this is my favorite Pokemon out of my bunch, I hatched it from an egg in platinum and I am wondering what moves might make him better, can anyone recomend some new Moves.

Pokemon: Garchomp
Special Ability: Sand Veil
Nature: Lax Nature
Moves: Dragon Rush, Earthquake, Dragon Pulse, Giga Impact

This is Garchomp, he is basically the Dragon of my bunch and I use him mainly against other Dragon types because can really take a hit and he is also good against fire and other types.


Pokemon: Torterra
Special Ability: Overgrow
Nature: Gentle
Moves: Frenzy Plant, Earthquake, Wood Hammer, Synthesis

This is Torterra, my starter in Platinum (yes some people do like grass starters) and he is mainly used against Rock and Electric types and things like that. I am thinking of removing Synthesis since Torterra isn't very speedy but I don't know what to put over it.


Pokemon: Gyarados
Special Ability: Intimidate
Nature: Bashful
Moves: Surf, Dragon Pulse, Ice Beam, Thunderbolt

Well now for Gyarados, every good team needs a water type and I was struggling with Gyarados, Blastoise or one of the other Water starters (save for Swampert since I have two ground types already). Anyway can anyone recomend any other good moves for him, thats basically what I need.


Pokemon: Electivire
Special Ability: Motor Drive
Nature: Careful Nature
Moves: Thunderbolt, Brick Break, Psychic, Earthquake

Well this is one of my faves from my team, the right balance of special attack and attack. He can take a hit too. Same again I am just struggling for moves as of now with everything. I mainly took to offence and I was wondering if anyone could recommend something else instead.


Pokemon: Tyranitar
Special Ability: Sand Stream
Nature: Naive
Moves: Crunch, Hyper Beam, Stone Edge, Earthquake

I know I have a thing about earthquake but Tyranitar I really struggled with on if or not to use him instead of Metagross since I like them both and they can take a hit. Anyway again, moves appreciated.

Other Pokemon I thought of using for my team were: Ryhperior, Lucario, Hitmonlee, Spiritomb, Gengar, Gallade, Steelix, Aggron, The Water type starters, Snorlax, Luxray, Metagross and Scizor.

[Venusaur]

Rate my Pearl team--

1. Lv 60 Gyarados (Foppa)
Nature: Mild / Ability: Intimidate
Moves: Surf, Ice Beam, Waterfall, Flamethrower
Items: Mystic Water (sometimes switched with Charcoal)
Notes: I trained this Poke since 1) I wanted to see if I could get the German for "Gyarados" on my Pokédex (it being Meister's and all) and 2) because I like training traded Pokes.

2. Lv 61 Drifblim
Nature: Sassy / Ability: Unburden
Moves: Hyper Beam, Ominous Wind, Shadow Ball, Fly
Items: Spell Tag
Notes: Yeah, Aftermath is a better ability. Too bad that by the time I caught this Drifblim I was getting annoyed at most of them being female (I want to breed for moves with it, and for that, I need a male).

3. Lv 61 Pachirisu
Nature: Quirky / Ability: Pickup
Moves: Rain Dance, Thunder, Discharge, Cut
Items: None (due to ability)

4. Lv 61 Torterra
Nature: Naughty / Ability: Overgrow
Moves: Earthquake, Crunch, Leech Seed, Frenzy Plant
Items: Miracle Seed
Notes: My Sinnoh starter and pride and joy. He's a tank and with the help of Leech Seed can take tons of punishment. Crunches to start battles and uses Frenzy Plant to finish them off.

5. Lv 61 Drapion
Nature: Calm / Ability: Battle Armor
Moves: Crunch, Rock Climb, Sludge Bomb, Rock Smash
Items: Poison Barb
Notes: I got sick and tired of waiting for it to learn a good Poison-type move so I eventually taught it Sludge Bomb. It then proceeded to try learning Cross Poison like three levels later, which I'm thinking about teaching to it instead of Sludge Bomb since its Sp. At. is like way higher...

6. Lv 61 Bronzong
Nature: Adamant / Ability: Heatproof
Moves: Strength, Earthquake, Extrasensory, Flash Cannon
Items: Quick Claw
Notes: I think Heatproof is as good an ability as Levitate on Bronzong. It's gotten roasted a few times and pulled through, and if the opponent knows Earthquake, Gyarados and Drifblim are there.

So what do you guys think?

[Metabee]

Due to length, I'm sending my rating of your team by PM, Venusaur.
