New Team (ghastly mystery)

mrmagic77 · Jun 24th, 2011, 8:28:11 PM

im posting a ghost team made up of walls and sweepers let me know what you think

ability: water absorb
item:leftovers
evs:hp 255, sdef 255
1-recover
2-scald
3-hex
4-acid armor
Jellocent is a formidable wall. It sp def makes it a sp def spongs absobring almost any special atk. Acid armor is there so he can boost his defense against physical pokemon. (Im willing to replace it let me know any good suggestions). Scald is to burn and damage so hex can finish of the opponent. Recover so he can wall most pokemon.

ability: magic coat
item:choice scarf
evs:255 special atk, speed 255
1-hidden power (fighting)
2-psychic
3-shadow ball
4-thunderbolt
Alakazam is my goto for my teams weaknesses. Psychic for ghost types. Shadowball for psychic types and thunderbolt for gyarados and drizzle teams

ability: levitate
item:leftovers
.evs: 252 satk,4 hp,252 spd
1-substitute
2-focus blast
3-shadowball
4-hidden power (fire)
Gengar is an excellent sweeper. Substitue to stop status porblems and block hirs. Hidden power for scizor teams and metal types like metagross. Focus blast for ice and normal types. Shadow ball for other ghosts and psychis types.

ability: infiltrator
item:leftovers
evs:hp 254,def 140 spd 116
1-dark pulse
2-sucker punch
3-shadow ball
4-hdden power (fighting)

ability: pressure
item:evolite
evs: 255 hp,255 sp defense
1-curse
2-rest
3-willowisp
4-mean look
Dusclops is my lead pokemon. The evolites stone boosts his defenses with make him an exceptional wall. Curse plus rest make a good combination; while you sleep the opponent constantly takes damage. If you use mean look first then tehy cant rid them selves of the curse. Will-o-wisp is used to cripple heavy hitting atk pokemon.

ability:mummy
item:leftovers
evs: atk 255 def255
1-toxic
2-energy ball
3- shadow ball
4-protect

Cofagrigus is also a great wall pokemon. Toxic plus protect lets u wait out the opponents demise. Energy ball and shadow ball are to mop up after u cant use protect anymore. Cofragrigus's defense handles most physical moves.

I do realize that my team has amajor weakness to blisseys helpful suggestions are welcome.

I like your idea of a mono-Ghost team (althrough remember that Alakazam is Psychic type, not Ghost)

For Jellicent, I'd say either drop Hex for Shadow Ball, or Acid Armor and Scald for Will-o-wisp and Surf. I think the 30% burn rate from Scald is not enough to warrant using Hex. I think you should replace either Shadow Ball or Signal Beam on Alakazam with Trick, because you don't need two moves for hitting psychics. The Spiritomb seems kinda sketchy, as Dark and Ice don't have the greatest coverage ever, and its defenses aren't quite good enough to use a ResTalk set without a boosting move such as Calm Mind. For example, try replacing Ice Beam with Calm Mind. Its a nice gimmick set you have on Dusclops, does it work well? I think replace Energy Ball on Cofagrigus with Pain Split, just for a decent healing move. Also maybe add a little more description for each pokemon.

the idea for the team was kind of "spur of the moment".
Dusclops is an excellent lead in this party i have been able ot take out 2-3 of my opponents pokemon. I make changes and see how it goes

Sorry not to be rude or anything but a monotype team is not recommended since all your pokemon are all weak against Ghost- and Dark- types. Here I'll just identify the threats that can defeat this team.

1. Sucker Punch can defeat this team since they are weak to it.
2. Pursuit is a threat when your pokemon switch out.
3. Even though you have Focus Blast on Gengar to counter Normal- types, Blissey or Snorlax are immune to Ghost- types and eliminate every pokemon in your team excpet Gengar. EDIT: Oh sorry didnt read your last sentence there. ignore this.
4. Dragon Dance Scrafty is also another threat since it can outspeed all your pokemon and Crunch it to death.

If your sticking with this team then here are some fixes to consider.

1. Why do you need to have Choice Scarf and 252 Speed EVs on Alakazam when he already is fast enough. Try adding some buff in his Defense and Special Defense.
2. For Gengar, you don't need Hidden Power Fire and Focus Blast in the same set that's just a waste. I suggest keeping only either one (Focus Blast is better). Replace the either Hidden Power Fire or Focus Blast with Pain Split and also take out Leftovers and replace it with Life Orb to add extra damage making Pain Split more effective.
3. For Jellicent, replace Hex with Shadow Ball. Hex isn't that good and Scald has a 30% chance of burn.
4. Alakazam should be the Blissey Breaker since its not restricted to it. here is a set that you should consider.

Move 1:Psychic
Move 2:Focus Blast / Focus Punch
Move 3:Substitute
Move 4:Recover/Calm Mind/Encore
Item: Life Orb
Nature: Calm/Gentle
Evs: 200HP /156SpD /164 Spe

Psychic provides STAB of course. Focus Blast is the main move that damages Blissey or you can use Focus Punch since Blissey is a special wall and has weak defenses. Substitute is to prevent Blissey using Toxic on you. Recover heals you of course, Calm Mind will boost your special attack which is good with Focus Blast. I suggest you use Encore because you can lock them on using Protect after they use Wish.

5. For Dusclops, you dont have at least one attacking move which means Taunt can check you and force you to switch. Take out Mean Look and replace it with Shadow Punch.

Here are some minor changes too.

1. EV spread on one stat should only add up to 252 not 255 since the last 3 EVs won't add up a stat. Remember, every 4 EVs = 1 stat point. For example, Jellicent has 255 HP and 255 SpD as the current EV spread. I suggest changing it to 252 Hp, 252 SpD and 4 Def.

2. This team breaks the rule of Item Clause. You have too many Leftovers in your team. You might want to change some of the items so you dont have two of the same items in two different pokemon.

3. Uhhh... Whats your description on Spiritomb?

I think thats it.... Umm... I might be missing something but I'll let others take care of that.

This thread will definetely get locked. Your descriptions are utterly lacking, please I am only trying to help you. You need to give more info for us to rate the team.

Eos · Jun 24th, 2011, 10:29:46 PM

I agree with the last two posts above me mainly.

Go on Pokemon Online if you can. Test out this team to see how it fairs first, and then when you think you have this team mastered, come back and see if we have any comments/changes for you. Sorry, but most of these sets are just really strange.
Good luck though!
