I wasn't sure if I could make a thread or not for this, so better to be safe then sorry! I'm trying to create a double battle team, and I'm having trouble comming up with the second half of my opening duo, so could you guys help me choose one out of these three, that would be great!
Well, I've decided on this pokemon as one of my openers.
Typhlosion @ Choice specs
Rash, 252sp.att, 252speed.
-Eruption
-Lava plume
-Focus Blast
-Rock Slide
So, he's not at all unique in himself, as typhlosion leads seem to be every second battle. But whats different with mine is that he's not scarfed. The next pokemon in the lead explains why.
I'm planning the second pokemon to be a scarfed pokemon using Icy wind, which will lower the opponents speed 1 stage. This should be enough to lower non-scarfed pokemons speed enough for Typhlosion to get in there and try and KO with choice specs.
So the next pokemon in the lead will be either:
Glaceon @ Choice scarf.
Mild, 252 sp.att, 252speed
-Icy wind
-Blizzard
-Shadow ball
-Water pulse
Shadow ball and water pulse are pretty much filler. This set is so Icy wind actually does some damage against the opponents, maybe putting them into OHKO range for Typhlosions Eruption.
Froslass @ Choice scarf.
Timid, 252sp.att, 252speed
-Icy wind
-Blizzard
-Shadow ball
-Thunderbolt
Mainly for the Mach punch immunity, This Froslass has more speed then the others.
Kabutops @ Choice scarf.
Naive, 252sp.att/def, 252speed
-Icy wind
-Rock Slide
-X-scissor
-Waterfall
Ok, so this guy is mainly for the lulz, but it is also a gimmiky set no-one would really see comming. Getting a sandstorm and raining boost and with a x4 resist to fire incase I want to use Lava plume instead, Kabutops could do the job quite well...
So out of Glaceon, Froslass and Kabutops, which would be best for my Typhlosion to start with?
