Welcome to Smogon! Take a moment to read the Introduction to Smogon for a run-down on everything Smogon, and make sure you take some time to read the global rules.
Hey everyone I've been having some fun with a new challenge lately. The glitched moveset challenge. This is a "challenge" where every pokemon on your team can use any move (possibly from the battle pike sketch glitch). It's fun to mess around with overpowered movesets, but so far I haven't been...
I tried your team Actaeon. It seemed like a nice idea, but I died to the same starmie set at 50 wins -_- I used Twave he used ice beam and critted zapdos. I could have used Flash instead. I could have tried to protect substall instead. But at the end of the day it's a speed tie.
Maybe I just got...
Hi all, I really liked Actaeon's monotype challenge and wanted to take a stab at part of it myself. I'm trying the flying type team. I managed to get 72 wins at the Battle Tower lvl 50 (emulator) from one attempt with this team.
The flying typing is indeed very challenging. Flying is...
I think skarmory should be higher. Imo its very close to steelix.
Regice is too high. And registeel is on there twice. I think registeel should be in A- rank and not in B+
On a separate note I have been following Adedede's and Kommo-o's Records and I have to say congrats to you both. I do have...
Gardevoir with destiny bond may be better. But its a tossup between your Latios. Maybe starmie. Either way it shouldn't take too long to grind out 70 wins even with bad nature and iv's
Also I would suggest item duplication on useful tm's.
Fair enough. The shiny is kinda ugly anyway.
Basically they can't hit me. Often they cannot hit shedinja at all. If they only have one move that can hit shedinja, I can use torment then switch to shedinja and start using protect every other turn and spam double team.
Against fire calm minders I switch to moltres. Alternating protect and...
I think it's possible this is a real streak. Yes, it seems to have weaknesses but the weaknesses do rely on hax. Tbolt is a decent counter to waters if they don't get lucky with an ice beam crit. And the team probably isn't extremely weak to ohko users because all the pokemon are offensive.
I...
Recently I have been running this set as my lead but I am having some trouble against the AI
Moltres @ Leftovers
Ability: Pressure
Level: 50
EVs: 220 HP / 156 SpA / 134 SpD
Modest Nature
- Protect
- Substitute
- Morning Sun
- Flamethrower
Still running flamethrower to remove forretress and...
I haven't actually tried this but I was thinking of using protect then roar against forretress. I think the AI might prioritize super effective rock slide over spikes even with intimidate.
My current streak was ended by my phone being left outside in a backpack in winter :/
So I have been...
You basically cannot lead with shedinja. There is an altaria set with pursuit and dugtrio can have arena trap.
I have found leading with steelix is my favorite. Being able to turn 1 torment seems so useful. But I am also still using hp steel to capitalize on torment.
Sceptile was indeed a...
I have been testing this team and I think Moltres needs more bulk especially Special defense as I rely on it to tank against special attackers with fire moves. I lost from crits against a charizard alternating between flamethrower aerial ace and dragon claw and I think this could have been...
These are great ideas but I still see a few issues with this team.
1. Steelix using roar can land on Skarm/Tress then we are back to square one. Maybe avoid roar against the lead? Roar does sound like a decent idea but it also kinda defeats the point of leading with moltres.
2. If shedinja is...
I actually run iron tail for the chance of def drop. But on reflection I don't think there has been a single scenario where it was necessary. I don't run eq because of salamence. I think HP steel might be better.
I have tried spite. And like Adedede said it seems to speed up the process but...
