Okay have fun with that. I don't even care if I never use the untrained Chansey. I would rather have the original copy. It is worth more untouched in my eyes.

Use anything really. In-game is beyond easy lol. Do a nuzlocke

I have been on AIM for a half hour already.

Sure I can AIM. I thought you said you were going to give Milotic a rest already. .-. lol

I know Brave Bird is good, and I know what it does. It obviously lets you kill stuff since its a 120 base power move.

Although Skarmory can more than viably run Taunt and SR in that moveslot.

Also do you really need all those hazards on every single team? Why didn't you like that team? Stick to what you feel comfortable with, but I am curious why. I want to know if its weak to something, you aren't doing well with it because of your playstyle, or you just don't like it because of Skarmory without Brave Bird.

What is your rating on PO? Wait until you hit 1400 or higher. The people get much much tougher.

You can't hope for a good player to make a mistake or get frusterated. That is a bad way of trying to win at pokemon.

Are you still bitching about double hazard Skarmory? Using something you don't like seems to be hurting your success. -.-

except for all the pokemons I have a note about the nickname I give to it, the rest is nicknameable (only for breedable mons with the OT SATOSHI and ID 36766 without any nicknames, the rest I can't because I delete the save file to restart).
and thanks foe the exception ^^

Okies. When would you like to start and where can we chat about it? Smogon IRC perhaps?

Say wut?!? I thought you knew how to do 5th Gen RNG...still need it?

Cool I will post in your thread then :)

so I cannot ask for his Latios and Latias from you? T-T
BTW, do you mind if I ask you to CMT from another forum?

Hi there
I was wondering what you mean by this in your thread Don't ask for pokemon from me that Frozen_Spirit has and vice versa... Seriously, if anybody makes me regret making a joint thread--I will make them regret joining Smogon!

sorry about that, you didn't reply so I went to bed. we can try later today tough.

Aw.. keep trying. ^^

Probably would use Roar on Heatran. It is specially defensive while Skarm is physically defensive. It can also scout with Protect, go through subs, etc. The steel resistences help you phaze through everything.

You can try Ice beam. It still stops Dragonite and other pokemon from coming in easily and getting a Sub. Or you can just run triple phazers and have a solid plan to deal with spinners like Starmie. Scarf Tyranitar is not a horrible idea, but there may be something better.

Right now ;) my fc:2494 8428 3351

Yup :)

You can probably try that. Stick to two phazers though. I never liked Ice Beam Milotic though. It never did enough to Dragonite with multiscale, Haxorus, or other notable threats. Haze can be good although it is very specific.

You need to try to bring out Milotic's strengths on this team, and Dragon Tail isn't exactly as much of a strength anymore. Neither is running Calm or a ton of bulk. Actually.. Calm can probably work, but that is personal preference.

I will PM you a couple of my semi stall teams which are similar to Tabloo. Gastrodon is more effective at countering LO Starmie and Spec'd Latios though. Gastrodon also messes with Rotom W. *maybe* test Aromatherapy on Roserade and Rest/Talk on Milotic.

This will help make you different from Gastrodon which is important. Especially since you have Whirlwind + Roar. It isn't neccesary at all to have Dragon Tail.

Maybe a Sabelye or go with no spinblocker. Or you can try Gengar + Latias maybe. Just remember, not every single team is going to have a spinner.

Its a matter of preference I said and I tend to dislike Bold Milotic. Although whatever floats your boat. :<

I don't use WoW on my defensive Heatrans. Lava Plume is usually good enough for a burn rate with Toxic Spikes. I like to use that extra moveslot for Protect to take advantage of Scarf Landorus and Rotom. Earth Power is okay too since it hits Tyranitar somewhat hard and it beats other Heatran once they lose their balloon.

Its a matter of preference. Defensive Celebi is good for Terrakion which destroys Milotic and Terrakion. It also has more of an ability to handle volt/turn.

As for Roserade, it lays Toxic Spikes so you can beat pokemon like Blissey and other walls. It poisons Tyranitar which is crucial. Toxic Spikes also puts offensive teams on a timer since TS + LO recoil will add up.

It also has Sleep Powder which is beyond good in generation 5. Really tired, so I am probably missing something. I am going to use Jellicent/Heatran/Roserade/Skarmory.

I will then use CM Reflect Latias to mess with silly Rotom.. Maybe Scarf/Sub Terrakion in the last slot.

I am using HP Ground > HP Ice on Roserade on that team I sent you.

I am doing that to have a better check to Magnezone and it tends to do well against defensive Heatran in rain.

I already have that code. ^^

I am doing alright. I just got back from tutoring someone. Good luck with your finals.

Okay, and I have Platinum.

Another interesting idea with Roserade is using it with Politoed + Hydration Rest offensive Vaporeon. Vaporeon's really strong under rain and can severly dent some of the stuff that troubles Roserade (ie. Volc and Reuniclus as you said, and Scizor, STAB Surf does a ton with special attack investment.) Of course, though, you would need to make sure you cover Pokemon like Rotom-W well, as otherwise, it'd really be a pain.

Looking through your threads though it seems you really love Milotic, lol; stick to using it if you're comfortable with it! Heatran still fits with it. Though, if it comes down to it, Milo won't beat Reuniclus one on one unless it has Haze, so if you're intent on using Milotic, you'd need additional methods of beating Reuniclus (Tyranitar could be good to help with weather.) If you want additional ideas specifically with Milotic, feel free to ask and I'll try to help.

Between Jellicent, Heatran, and Roserade, you cover quite a few big threats, such as the ones you mentioned - Reuniclus and Volcarona. Reuniclus may still be troublesome, but with special defensive investment, Taunt, possibly Shadow Ball + Cursed Body as an ability, it can handle Reuniclus decently.

One huge problem teams with Roserade usually have (and a huge problem I had when I was using my team with Roserade), are Dragons like Haxorus, which is why I used Skarmory since it's a good catch-check to them. Though, Jelly + Skarm gives a nasty Electric weakness, which is why I went with Gastrodon for a resist, and Gengar as the spinblocker, but that other alternative is still viable.

Thanks!

Roserade is pretty much best used on FWG cores, and if I were to use it in OU, I'd probably try it out with Jellicent + Heatran. Jellicent prevents people from spinning your hazards, counters Scizor which is rather common switch-in to Roserade, and just has extremely good type synergy with Roserade, seeing as Rade takes Electric attacks like a champ, whereas Jelly takes Fire attacks quite well, and so on. Heatran is something I usually find myself using with Roserade frequently too, simply because Heatran takes great advantage of Roserade's hazards by utilizing Roar (it's extremely easy to shuffle around an opponent's team with Heatran and wear them down with hazards since it's so damn bulky and has so many resistances!)
