Flame Dragon

Recommended Posts

Marriland is an overated battler, mine Pokes are better than his. It's debatable if I could beat the guy. Plus, chances are it was some n00b copying his name.

 

Oh' date=' yeah, that gives me alot of help...

Sorry it was late. Get Flame to help he has a good one. A major must for your team would be a scarfed/banded Flygon. Tyranitar and Hippowdon are there for obvious reasons, Magnezone, Vaporeon, Spiritomb are also good options. Try to think is you want stall or offensive. I can see stall working better but it's harder for novices to pull off.

He has said that people overrate him, but he is still good. I don't know if your poks are better then his old team, but he has said that he has several new teams that makes his old team look like a joke.

 

Yea that is most likely the case since I don't think he uses Marriland in his games.

 

Skarm Bliss also works well in SS teams since that team likes to stall. Side from that you couuld drop Skarm for Forrtress since it can also put up Toxic spikes. In fact I think that would be that better choice.

So you have

Forrtress

T-Tat/Hipp

Bliss

Flygon

He is good but there are people like mtgxerxes that would tear him up. My Pokes specifically are most likely better than his but his teams as a whole will probably be better constructed.

 

Also Dugtrio would be pretty nifty in stall team.

Yes' date=' thats diffinitely true.

 

Also, I'm thinkin on makin a Sand Storm Team; for fun.

I'm thinking something like:

Tyranitar

Garchomp

Swampert

Forretress

Hippowdon

Bronzong

 

And I'm also considering:

Metagross, Magnezone, Scizor, and Gliscor.

 

Any thoughts on such?

Lose garchomp for Gliscor or Metagross to make it sutiable for OU

I like that, yes. I should test the Flygon one.

lol@Noobs using Marriland's name.

 

Its almost as bad as people who use the name 'Zezima' and claim they are the real thing >___>

 

Also, Why use Vaporeon?(Sorry, I'm not mutch of a nazi when it comes to the Pokemon games itself, I usually just play to try and beat the game and then usually cheat like crazy, Since I beat it and all)

 

And I take it, That a Sandstorm team revolves around Spikes/Toxic Spikes/Stealth Rock/Sandstorm/[insert move here that adds to the chpping away of the opponet's HP]

 

right?

That's only Stall Sandstorm, there are offensive teams as well.

 

Vaporeon would be good in SS temas because Ground and Rock Types turn up a lot in SS teams so a Water immunity with healing effects is a good combo. Plus Vaporeon is one of the best Wish Passers in the game and it makes a good Gyradose counter with HP Electric. That's why.

Wouldnt an offencive verson of a Sandstorm Team just defeat the purpose of it?

 

Plus Vaporeon is one of the best Wish Passers in the game

I take it' date=' That its "one of the best" because it knows Baton Pass, Wish, [i']And[/i] Aqua Ring, right?

and it makes a good Gyradose counter with HP Electric. That's why.

I'm assuming Gyradose is like a staple/Easy beatstick/generic over-used Pokemon.

And whats HP Electric? Volt Absorb? *confused here*

It's the best Wish Passer because of its huge 463 Max HP, average DEF and good SpD. Plus it has a nice base 100 SpA which means it has the power to take on tough apponents as well. Oh and Batton Pass is unecerssary on Pure Wish Passers because switching will more often than not be more effective.

 

Hidden Power Electric, 4* effective on Gyradose. It doesn't initiate an instant OHKO because Gyradose is a freak but it's takes off a big chunk.

 

And yes Gyradose is OU abbused.

Hidden Power is controled by IVs. If you know what IVs you need you can breed selectively till you get them. It's not that difficult when you know what you're doing. For example a Fighting Type Hidden Power occurs if all your Pokemon's IVs are odd numbers, although HP and ATK don't need to be. Hidden Power is a 100% viable move on any Special Attacker.

Well guys, I made it to Lucian(I have to yet to face him, but still... Hes the 4th member of the DRK crew... WAIT A MINUTE!)

 

Anyway.... Bertha is the anti-thesis to my team. Her Gliscore knows Earthquake and Ice Fang. In addition to bieng a Flying-Type.

 

She almost beat me, With just that freakin' Gliscore ._.

 

Spamming revives/Restore items ftw? *gets shot*

Anybody know a good pokemon to beat Cynthia's Garchomp?

I was thinking about getting an ice one until I found out that it has Flamethrower and will always go first.

It's always the second Pokemon she sends out on me also! Right after Spiritomb.

 

I know a good pokemon to beat Garchomp: Dragon type-2x effective

Ice Type-4x effective

Might as well post my team for lulz...

 

Luxray Lv. 78

Empoleon Lv. 76

Staraptor Lv. 76

Weavile Lv. 76

Infernape Lv. 76

Torterra Lv. 77

 

I got a Chimchar and a Turtwig early in the game because I have two DS's: A DS Lite and a DSi. I had my Pearl in one DS, and Platinum in the other, and restarted Pearl after I traded a starter onto my Platinum.

I r raising teh Rotom-H becuz it are look awesom and it kicks ass. lolololololololololololololololoolololol.

 

In all seriousness though, would Rotom-H with Trick and a Scarf work as support for a team to stop walls?

 

Auschwitz

Rotom-H @ Choice Scarf

Modest

 

Overheat

T-Bolt

Will-O-Wisp

Trick

 

 

It counters most walls with Trick and physical sweepers with Will-O-Wisp. Is it anywhere near remotely good?

Rotom H is like the best counter for Scizor there is, thinks to a reistance from both STAB and immunity to other moves that it has, watch out for random Night Slashes though. If you have another Pokemon to dish ot status Shadow Ball would be better as you can have another STAB move, which is always good on Scarf Pokes. So long as you try to get safe switches into stuff with this thing it can be very use full for your team.

 

When you've killed everything that this can conter you can screw over defensive whores like Blissey and get a Leftovers, which means it becomes a different weapon in your team. There are support sets but support Scarfers don't exist.

 

The new Rotoms also serve as the ultimate Spin blockers which are very usefull in drawn out matches.

 

EDIT: So yes they're good. If you want to test a team out do it on Shoddy Battle, it also makes for great practice.

Her Garchomp has the ability to auto-faint my whole team ._.

 

And I cant continue revive spamming, Since her Garchomp can beat me, Faster then I can revive spam.

 

Also, Did anyone els notice this: Empoleon is the exact anti- to the whole E4

(Yea, Way to screw over the other 2 >___>)
