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.
If you run life orb on Scizor you should switch it's acrobatics for protect or pursuit (Pursuit will help with ghost types). You could also run trickroom on mimikyu Because it looks like three of your pokemon could benefit from that (Scizor, Bewear and Shiinotic).
You should run bullet punch instead of metal claw and give it a life orb (you deal more damage and can OHKO most fairies) and put a defense boosting nature on Shiinotic.
I'll keep my Arcanine. I've always got roar to get rid of celesteela. And I'm still looking for the right item for tapu fini, and everyone I've fought usually targets it with a physical attacker.
And what's wrong with my team? T_T
My arcanine can 2HKO most Celesteelas (unless they have max Hp and SpD) and I don't really worry about them getting the Atk boost because I got intimidate.
Well I have enough physical attackers on my team and flamethrower really helps me more with killing Kartana's.
Interesting sets...
Okay my team has changed drastically to counter the meta. Arcanine has been a huge help. Tapu Bulu became a hinderance. Celesteela is my needed bulk. Garchomp now has It's HA and I gave it Dragonium Z because I was stuck for an item and Pheromosa it's just me testing it out. So far it's an even...
I really like this set but for me I'd reverse the defense Evs and replace snarl with Extreme Speed:
Arcanine @ Aguav Berry
Ability: Intimidate
Level: 50
EVs: 252 HP / 68 Def / 188 SpD
Bold Nature
– Flamethrower
– Will-O-Wisp
– Roar
– Extreme Speed
I may replace my Salazzle with it if it works...
I see. So what do you think would be a good arcanine set for what I have: (A Bold Arcanine with Burn Up) I want to keep Burn Up as a defense option if I can and I'd prefer running a ExtremeSpeed, BurnUp(or another fire type move), Roar, WildCharge/Protect moveset (More of a support set)
I've considered using the Z-crystal for garchomp but then I can get OHKOed by Ninetails and I like focus sash because it can surprise my opponent and give me a free turn of damage on them. I tried running a Garchomp Salazzle lead with Air balloon and it worked out pretty good. I still have huge...
Ya, I considered disable over protect but protect just seems like it'll keep my opponent busy longer and I really want to keep my focus sash on my Garchomp, can you think of an alternative item Salazzle can use? (I thought of a Z-move or Air Balloon)
But Kartanas run focus sash and choice scarfs, and I'm pretty sure it OHKOs Salazzle with a Sacred Sword. It's still worth a shot though.
I like this set but I want an item other than Focus sash, any ideas:
Fake Out
Flamethrower
Sludge Bomb
Protect
Item:
Focus Sash
Ability:
Oblivious...
Ya but I kinda need focus sash for my garchomp because it counters all the things most of my team is weak too without being OHKOed.
I like that idea though, but can't Kartana outspeed it? I might replace Tapu Koko with Celesteela as it can counter most of my weaknesses and wall opponents (And...
