Howdy,

Got your request. Since you've already gotten a good amount of help from some team raters, this will be a brief rate, but I'll try and address everything. Now, I feel as though Psychic is your best option on Starmie because without it, Bulk Up Conkeldurr has a field day with this team. Currently, it 6-0es you unless you can take it down with Psychic. Now, since you really depend on Starmie for most of your revenge killing against Dragon-types, you may want to try out Ice Beam > Thunderbolt instead, since you don't really give SubDD Gyarados many opportunities to set up. Of course, you won't have that Electric-type coverage, but if you don't use Ice Beam, you'll be really weak to Dragonite.

Now, should you choose to accept this change, let's face it, you'll be fairly weak to Skarmory. I realize that Darmanitan is one of your favorite Pokemon on this team, but something that I think you should try is Choice Scarf Infernape over Darmanitan because it effectively demolishes Skarmory with Fire Blast and is even faster than Darmanitan. On top of that, it isn't weak to Stealth Rock!

Anyhow, cool team man! Good luck!

On top of that, it isn't weak to Stealth Rock! sets Infernape @ Choice Scarf \| Blaze Hasty Nature \| 108 Atk / 148 SpA / 252 Spe Close Combat \| U-turn \| Fire Blast \| Hidden Power Ice / Stone Edge notes: Stone Edge is for if you want to stick as close to Darmanitan's mold as possible, but I think HP Ice is better suited for this team. If you choose HP Ice, you can always forgo Ice Beam on Starmie. Anyhow, cool team man! Good luck! __________________ The story of Pocketman: Once upon a time there was a 60 year old man. He lived in Norway. Nobody knew his name,they all called him Pocketman. You probably ask why they called him pocket man, well i tell you why. He in a VERY wierd way rapes people. Believe me this story is true although its very wierd. He has been arrested in custody by the police now. He rapes everyone from a homofil to a pedofil. This is the way he does it: He wanders around the streets in a coap and a jeans pants. And when its very few people around the streets and he sees for example a littled kid boy or girl (it could be a grown up too) he says this: "hey boy i've hurt my hands a little bit can you pick up my cellphone from my pocket" the boy says:"sure thing man" The boy put his hand in the guys pocket. and he feels like the pocket is too long, and when he comes to the buttom of the ocket he feels something yucky(the pocketmans dick). And pocketman takes a knife from his other wallet stabs the kid and rapes him. Believe me i'm norwegian and its true over 2,000 people have been raped by this man. This thread might seem totally NON INTERESTING but i'm bored and i just wanna say this. reply your thoughts about this man or write your own story about the subject. submitted by The Harsha
