Welcome to Smogon! Take a moment to read the Introduction to Smogon for a run-down on everything Smogon, and make sure you take some time to read the global rules.
That's what I think of Heatran.
Samuel Adams (Heatran) (M) @ Lum Berry
Ability: Flash Fire
EVs: 4 HP/252 Spd/252 SAtk
Naive nature (+Spd, -SDef)
- Fire Blast
- Earth Power
- Stealth Rock
- Explosion
I've never used this guy before. He's has one of the crappiest designs in the game and is...
The focus of this team is mainly paralyzing with the plan to make way for a Gyarados sweep.
Lead
Crystal (Celebi) @ Leftovers
Ability: Natural Cure
EVs: 252 HP/220 Def/36 Spd
Bold nature (+Def, -Atk)
- Thunder Wave
- Grass Knot
- Recover
- Stealth Rock
An pretty cool lead, though I think the...
Are you fucking kidding me?
So because you were robbed in a situation that wouldn't have permitted you to use the handgun means all situations are the same? You've never heard of single gunman breaking and entering? Someone with proper training might be able to take the lone gunman out and...
This is my first mono-team and I've gotten the rythm down for using it (Standard Ladder) but I can't help to think it could be better somehow. I don't follow the whole rule of 1 "other"-type being allowed on a mono team. All fighting type here, no exceptions.
Duty (Primeape) (M) @ Choice Scarf...
I switched Body Slam > Return, but I'm also going to want to bulking Snorlax up to combat Latias better. Thinking of going 176 HP/80 Atk/252 SDef so I am still guarenteed the kill, even in Sand Storm+Switching into Stealth Rock.
Would it be viable to switch SE out instead or no? I really hate...
Alright, dropped Dragonite for Starmie, got rid of Focus Punch for Focus Blast (I detest the inaccuracy of the thing... any alternatives?), bulked up Gyarados, and I'm considering dropping Gengar for a Machamp.
What say you, democracy of the Smogon?
I really, really dislike inaccurate moves such as Focus Blast... I was thinking maybe running Hidden Power [Ice] instead of Focus Blast/Punch. Or perhaps I could drop Explosion for Sub? Any other good alternatives?
And I'm guessing you all are suggesting switching out Dragonite for the Starmie...
Again, consisting of 1st Generation Pokemon comes my latest and hopefully greatest attempt at an iconic team, this time sporting none of the 3 starter evolutions. This team compromises of completely unoriginal bog standard Pokes, with the exception of the Dragonite build I jacked from MetaNite...
I haven't too much problems against scarfers but I see the predicament. I'm going to change the EVs of my Scarfizard to survive Gengars T-Bolt but Sashes aren't the end-all be-all.
I switch to Blastoise when I meet an Aerodactyle lead. They usually taunt thinking my Charizard is a...
I already outspeed and OHKO every Gengar set I've come across.
Switched my Blastoise set out for Ice Beam/Toxic/Protect/Rapid Spin, but I'm going to be testing out your other suggestions, but this set definitely is much more useful than the resttalking set.
Agreed. LO works better.
Nah, EQ...
