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.
>Hey there. This is a pretty solid full pass team you got here. I'm a fan of bp myself but new tricks that render bp ineffective, forced me to play conservatively. >Anyway, i'd just like to bring to your notice that calm mind...
Moxie+dragon claw is outclassed by intimidate+outrage salamence IMO. The whole purpose of the DD set is to set-up by forcing a switch and then doing insane amounts of damage even if the opponent resists outrage, it's that simple. And quite frankly, without intimidate, salamence will have a much...
Some problems have cropped for the team after constant battling. I've listed my pokemon and the problems I'm facing while using them down below and would appreciate some help to find the solution to these problems.
1)Umbreon-While umbreon has been very reliable as a support/set-up lead, the...
If I do that, then I'll lose any form of priority that I had. Besides, it's messing with my original strategy of priority sweeping(had an extremespeed dragonite too)and espeon won't be coming in too early so I need a spinner IMO.
Actually, no one did. Psychic>Psyshock for the extra 15 BP(with STAB) that is has. Psyshock>Psychic for special walls(namely blissey). And espeon is a set-up sweeper. Psyshock could be very useful as it won't force me out when up against a special wall. Thanks for pointing it out. Although I'm...
Try bulky reuniclus with calm mind, psyshock(not psychic), shadow ball, Focus blast. Put 252 EVs into HP, 252 into SAtk, 6 SDef with a modest nature. That should solve your fighting problem while maintaing the synergy of the team. Give it leftovers for maximising longevity. Good luck!!!
Firstly, its' nice that you've taken the pains of posting all the stats of your pokemon. But for future posts, use only EVs and natures(raters can do the calculations themselves). Next, the descriptions have to be elaborate and tell the raters how each pokemon works and what purpose it serves...
I can't believe I left out those annoying swampert like pokemon(I mean Water/Ground). HP(Grass) is a bad idea IMO, especially for a frail set-up sweeper like espeon. So I've made changes to the team accordingly and posted them in bold in the original thread. Please have a look and tell me what...
Point taken. I'll run both and see how it works out. Btw, someone said earlier that my team could have problems with weather. I know sandstorm and hail might be issues(IMO, I have no problems with rain/sun whatsoever beacuse i can counter the common rain/sun poke, only sand rush is a major issue...
Good point. Draco meteor can, if not kill, really hurt forretress with base 60 SDef. And no point investing EVs in that stat either. Instead I could go with the ferrothorn set you suggested earlier, only I'll put the Def Evs in SDef(had the same investment for the curse ferrothorn). Curse gives...
