Hey people! I joined earlier today so I could get some help on creating a good Gen. V team.

There are two teams that I currently have in mind, the first one I have been working on for about a week, and it didn't turn out exactly how I wanted it to. The second team is more or less a list of my favorites, and I was curious if you all at Bulbagarden had some tips to make them unstoppable.

Here is the first team set up.

Please let me know what you think about these teams. I'm still trying to get the hang of things in B&W and got a little discouraged earlier today when a friend of mine ruined my first team with his EV trained death squad.

Quick question about Hidden Power.

OK, I know how to find out what type it is. So how do I figure out its base power?

It's very complicated.

[mikarugelord]

Is it impossible to breed Hypnosis, Mirror Coat, and Confuse Ray onto a Feebas?
How about just Hypnosis and Mirror Coat?
Although I've heard that this shouldn't be possible, I found a female Feebas with both moves on it via GTS, so I wanted to check.

Oh shit. Now I gotta figure out how to determine a PKMN's IVs, then. Thanks for the help, anyway! Off to Smogon for me, then!

You can't get any combination of those moves on a Feebas, only one per fish.

Its possible, although unlikely:

STANTLER: Learn Hypnosis at level 10
STANTLER: Learn Confuse Ray at level 23
PSYDUCK: Breed male STANTLER with female PSYDUCK
FEEBAS: Breed male PSYDUCK with female FEEBAS
Mirror Coat is then applied as a gen 3 tutor move. As I said, unlikely, but possible.

Mirror Coat isn't a move tutor move...
I see that a Corsola with Confuse Ray can breed down both Mirror Coat and Confuse Ray, so I'll just do that.
Thanks for the help!

The EV spread is pretty good. But I would suggest sucker punch in stead of pursuit. As all if you run sucker punch which has priority, you should drop the scarf for something else if yo run suckerpunch.

[Kantomasta]

ok thanks ill try out suckerpunch

With my new username, I gotten curious...

Is Eccentric Ditto as good of a revenge killer as people said it'd be?

Or is it available yet?

[Angad]

It is, although it is not available yet. Eccentric Ditto is banned on the PO DW tiers, but not on Smogon DW, because they don't tier DW.

[Professor Stoney]

Uh...
What's PO?

[g3rgni]

Uh...
What's PO?

PO refers to Pokemon Online, an online battle simulator.

[Professor Stoney]

Oh, ok.
Thank you guys!
