Evening, or Morning if you will, it's half three here in the UK. I'm JT, or Jimmy, and I'm 22. Been playing pokémon since '97 when I first got my hands on Red version from a friend who's dad bought if for her in america, I then got yellow, blue and continued into Gold, Crystal, Ruby, Emerald...

9J8G-WWWW-WWW5-LNSM The Bulk paid off in this one, allowing me to survive the Brave bird and get the KO, then pinsir's bulk let me take the close combat from Infernape, Mevolve and KO with Stab Quick Attack (gotta love MPinsir's ability +30% to normal attacks and makes them flying) Then it was...

Heh sorry for the double post; I swapped Thrash on my Gyarados for Sleep Talk just to subvert annoying spore leads Also rather happy as I managed to breed two Adamant Marvel Scale Dratinis at 31/31/31/x/31/31 along with a magikarp of the same persuasion. Chuffed.

Gyarados can aye, though in my experience they tend not to since the Mevo doesn't really bring -that- much to Gyarados compared to others. Trying it out is probably the only way you'll know :)

I'd say go for another fire move entirely rather than Overheat - the stat drop is rarely ever worth it imo. Go for Fire Blast, little less power but no evil stat drop. HP Electric may also be quite useful for waters, however that said most of the waters that'll want to check or counter Heatran...

So I've been thinking about a Bulky Team, mainly for a bit of fun and a surprise factor during 3v3, it's totally untested (bar the Mamphy which I've used with varying success before now) So here it is. Dragonite@Assault Vest Adamant Multiscale 252HP 252 Att 4 SpD Dragon Claw Extreme Speed Fire...

AVdrapion is basically my answer to all ghosts and/or psychics. I love him along side my spec. Mlucario

I'd like to second this it's a great set. After using my 128 Def+ Sp.Def + 252 Sp.Atk Mamphy with a similar set + Power Gem over Agility with Dual Screen support with mixed success (as predicted the necessity of screen support made it difficult to use in 3v3) I built another Mamphy with this...

Counter was probably the wrong word. Either way. 252+ Atk Choice Band Gyarados Waterfall vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Talonflame: 288-342 (188.2 - 223.5%) It can't OHKO Gyarados without the crit and gets taken down itself even with full HP and Def investment which it is never going to have anyway. So as...

Choice Band Intimidate Gyarados any good as a counter to Talonflame?

Another good point. I am thinking perhaps I bring in a Tyrantrum with Stone Edge just to take the hit and KO Talonflame. Could be combined nicely with Volt Switch on MAmphy. Though having ANOTHER dragon does leave me very open to Ice eating my face.

Cheers for the reply and the compliments, perhaps I'll have to find some friends to try it out in 6v6. As for the rest; I think the reason I want to use MAmphy is because others do it better, and the idea of having synergy between my mons tickles me a little in a sentimental kind of way...

Well then I guess the vest is out the window in favour of the Helmet. Cheers for the advice.

See... this is why I put this here because clearly I did not think all of this through properly! Two derps caught before I wasted too much time training things. Muchly appreciated. I clearly -didn't- read the effects of Heal Pulse properly and I'd utterly forgotten the inability to use status...
