lucario is my special sweeper. dark pulse for Azelf, Uxie, and other annoying psychics. dragon pulse for dragons. aura sphere for STAB. vacuum wave for weavile and revenge kills. Also should i go with focus sash or focus band on lucario? sash holds the risk of being nullified by stealth rock and spikes, but band doesn't always work. speaking of which how often does focus band activate?

Metagross is my tank. he can take an earthquake from garchomp and then, if his luck holds out, meteor mash and bullet punch on the next turn for a K.O. brick break is questionable. i may go with Zen headbut for better coverage but idk. earthquake is for other steel types.

breloom is beastly and i love it. mach punch is for speedy ice types(weavile) spore is for 100% sleep accuracy. seed bomb for bulky waters and focus punch after spore for major damage. i went with jolly because my goal is to put the foe to sleep and go from there, but i will usually have to hit first because breloom is so fragile. mach punch and focus punch is redundant i know but it seems neccesary for revenge kills.

Thank you for your time. please help. i know about my ice type weakness but all of the pokes on my team with ice type weakness can trump ice types (i.e. aerodactyl-rockslide, breloom-mach punch, togekiss- aura sphere):happybrain:
 
umm if you dont have something nice to say dont say anything at all. idk what you have against that guy but thats u guys problems
 
oh by the way togekiss kills mamo and walrein with aura sphere and breloom does the same with focus punch. maybe that guy wuz riht...
 
Uhm..I fail? I wasn't being rude, but if that is what I come off as, then I am truely sorry.

Yah, I have no idea what that guys problem is Overlord =(

If you think about it, Mamoswine can use Ice Shard and that really hurts your Togekiss, you might be able to revenge it though. Another thing is that Hail teas could be a slight problem for you. Hmm, let me see if we can fix that...

Your Togekiss has Flamethrower, but i'm not too sure if that's reliable enough due to Ice shard.

Who is your lead? Once I know that I can help a little bit better.


Oh, and I think that you need to put
to mkake your trainer card appear. I am not 100% sure though.
 
thanks for the clarification darkartisan. a i see wut u mean. if worst comes to worst i could switch to metagross and meteor mash then bullet punch for the K.O. my gross can take an earthquake from mamoswine i think... it can take one from garchomp. Ollie i dont really undesrtand u. i understand that they are weak against ice but they have attacks that can destroy ice types.
 
does any1 know how to make that darn trainer card show up?

Oh, and I think that you need to put

You need a badge to make images appear in sigs.

Sorry I can't be more help with the actual team! :S

EDIT: Meta can't really switch in on Mamo as it won't take two Earthquakes at all and CB EQ's going to do a really large number.

I believe what he means is that a team with a weakness to one type isn't too beneficial at all. You could throw a Bronzong or Weezing on your team to help take hits from ice pokemon. Metagross and Lucario are wrecked by earthquake, so that's something that you should consider. Snorlax can take special hits quite well, and with the ability thick fat he halves ice and fire damage.

You could use the Curselax, who can be a sweeper if used correctly, or you can go with my preronal favorite, the resTalker.

This set helps take special hits, and honestly I do think that you need a wall

but if all goes to plan i wouldnt send in gross right after lucario got wrecked, id send in togekiss, or maybe breloom. thank u so much for ur suggestion i will definately consider it.
 
Ollie i dont really undesrtand u. i understand that they are weak against ice but they have attacks that can destroy ice types.
and I don't understand you overlord.

Are you saying that a CB Ice Shard is not important to consider?
CB adamant ice shard from mamoswine:
61.23% - 72.19% (togekiss)

62.04% - 72.84% (breloom)

oh and BTW, it take into consideration max Def/HP,which is almost never used.

Oh and for your breloom, it does 100.77% - 118.77%.
 
i wouldnt switch meta into an earthquake. i would either sacrifice my poke that is in the field or switch to someone who resists equake. i also luv the fact that lucario can dark pulse azelf while it does sumthing and then ko it second turn with vacuum wave and it cant do crap. *yay*
 
i know but i am faster than swine so look at this scenario. mamoswine switches in on breloom. breloom uses mach punch. mamo kos breloom wit ice shard. i send in metagross i ko it with meteor mash/bullet punch. or lucario vacuum wave.

Also should i go with focus sash or focus band on lucario? sash holds the risk of being nullified by stealth rock and spikes, but band doesn't always work. speaking of which how often does focus band activate?

If this is for Shoddy, I would recommend Hp Ice to hit the Dragons for more damage, which is why you would use Dragon Pulse in the first place. Specs for more power, and Focus Band has only a 10% chance to work. Also, Lucario's not that great a lead to begin with, I would suggest changing it for Aerodactyl. More on Aero later however.

CB Gross is an amazing late game clean-up, or mid-game sponge. You have a choice of Explosion or Thunderpunch in the third slot, but I would recommend Thunderpunch for Gyarados, because you don't have much else to deal with it. However, You could also do Explosion over Bullet Punch if you feel comfortable with how your team deals with Gengar and Aerodactyl.

This is actually better as a special tank/annoyer. Encore screws up soooo many pokemon who try to set up on you. Wish is so you can get rid of Umbreon, Air Slash and Aura Sphere for coverage.

This really doesn't do much except add to your fighting weakness. Those defenses may look nice now, but when it's your last pokemon, you won't like it very much, as it can't do anything really.
Swap it out for a physical wall. I suggest a Mixpert in it's place. Swampert is quite underrated as a wall, and would work well with your team.

This should be your lead. This sets up rocks fast, and taunts other set-up leads who try to mess with you. Borrowed from Husk.

Looks good, fixed the evs and nature. You could also run Stone Edge over Mach Punch for flyers if you wish.

Thank you for your time. please help. i know about my ice type weakness but all of the pokes on my team with ice type weakness can trump ice types (i.e. aerodactyl-rockslide, breloom-mach punch, togekiss- aura sphere):happybrain:

STOP RATING TEAMS YOU FUCKING FAIL!
Please, don't flame.
 
i know but i am faster than swine so look at this scenario. mamoswine switches in on breloom. breloom uses mach punch. mamo kos breloom wit ice shard. i send in metagross i ko it with meteor mash/bullet punch. or lucario vacuum wave.

Okay, after I killed Breloom, I would switch in to something safer, that counters your Metagross.

Oh and please for the love of God, stop double posting!!
 
uhm...Going to what Olie said, listen to him Overlord. Ice shard is a priority move that means that it attacks first unless you use a priority move and outspeed him. I'm not too sure if you are new to battling or not, but sacrificing as agame plan isn't a good way to play imo.

everything Tennisace said is also very true. Mixpert would actually be good, I was thinking lax, but I think mixpert would be much more beneficial to your team.
 
regarding tennascice:

lucario s good because it kills legendary lake leads and gengar. it also works fine with bronzong. i will keep sash though.

breloom is better jolly because if it takes a hit before it spores then its kinda screwed. i mean all of its attacks have really high base damage anyway and breloom already has great attack i dont need adamant.

i am hesitant to put aero as my lead because i really hate late game heracross sweeps.

thnx for the togekiss suggestion

thnx for swampert
 
Normally, Lax would be fine. However, in this case, it adds a fighting weak and special sponge to an already fighting weak team who has a normal-type special sponge.
 
Substitute > Mach Punch on Breloom, mach punch is a great move on him but the focus punching set absolutely needs substitute to function properly.

Replace Lucario's focus band with choice specs, and make him timid. If you lead with him you need to fix that, no lucario set is really that amazing of a lead.

Thunderpunch in your unknown metagross moveslot, otherwise gyarados completely walls him and will get a free dd boost from the forced switch.

I suggest trying replacing protect with Baton Pass on Umbreon, passing mean look to counters really makes life a lot easier.

Aerodactyl should probably go in the lead slot if he's not there already. Don't scarf aerodactyl, Garchomp pulls the scarf off better. Band is generally the better choice unless you're trying to make it a deoxys - s revenge killer, but Scarfgar does that much better and metagross pretty much has deoxys covered on this team.

Leftovers are probably the better choice on Kiss.

If you want a mammo counter I'd suggest taking out Aerodactyl or Breloom before anything else, Bronzong is the best choice imo, as it can play a strong support role, act as a lead, resists/is immune to every attack swine carries and best of all, threatens a KO with a super effective Gyro Ball. Watch out for Magnezone though, the magnet rise sets will kill any zong.
 
ok so for clarification.

mixpert over umbreon- would this clear up the whole mamoswine problem?
and mach punch is also a priority move(idk how much damage it would do to mamoswine though)

im sorry for all the double posts i just keep thinking of stuff.
and im not really that new to battling. i just havent battled in like a year because we changed our security setting on wifi to WPA which isn't compatable with the DS. If any1 has a solution to this problem PLEASE tell me about it.

p.s. my parents wont let me change the security to WEP so thats out.

also thanks for the mamo advice
