My slaking team

[axolotlking]

This is my team

Slaking @ Choice Band
Trait: Truant
EVs: 252 Atk / 252 Spd / 4 HP
Adamant Nature
- Return
- Earthquake
- Night Slash
- Retaliate
Slaking is my favorite pokemon in the whole game. You can do anything except take out the Slaking. I use it as a hit and run. It is great after a pokemon dies and you use retaliate because of STAB, its extremely high attack and choice band makes it good. If you have any tips it would be helpful. Thank you.

Gardevoir @ Choice Specs
Trait: Trace
EVs: 252 SAtk / 252 Spd / 4 HP
Timid Nature
- Trick
- Psychic
- Focus Blast
- Shadow Ball
I use gardevoir to kill fighting types which I have no other defense against. Trick is to destroy walls. Psychic is STAB and is good against fighting. Focus blast is for dark, steel, and rock. Shadow ball can kill other psychics.


Shuckle @ Leftovers
Trait: Sturdy
EVs: 252 HP / 4 Def / 252 SDef
Careful Nature
- Stealth Rock
- Toxic
- Rest
- Encore
I use shuckle because i believe shuckle is one of the best nu walls. My shuckle can not effect substitute unless i switch out. If you can think of a better wall or a better way to use shuckle, please tell me.

Armaldo @ Lum Berry
Trait: Battle Armor
EVs: 128 HP / 252 Atk / 4 Def / 124 Spd
Adamant Nature
- Swords Dance
- Rapid Spin
- Stone Edge
- X-Scissor
I use it because of rapid spin. Armaldo is a really good rapid spin pokemon because it is also good at sweeping. It knows swords dance to power up physical attacks so it is also a heavy hitter. If you can think of a better rapid spinner please tell me.

Cacturne (cacturne) @ Life Orb
Trait: Water Absorb
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spd
Adamant Nature
- Swords Dance
- Sucker Punch
- Seed Bomb
- Drain Punch
I use it because because it is a sweeper against water. Also it is a grass that knows fighting moves so i thought it would do some good to throw in fighting moves so i could compete with dark pokemon. If you have anything better please tell.
Simisear @ Choice Specs

Trait: Gluttony
EVs: 4 Def / 252 SAtk / 252 Spd
Timid Nature
- Overheat
- Grass Knot
- Hidden Power [Ground]
- Flamethrower
I use it for special attack and sweep against grass. It knows hidden power ground so it can compete with rock which is one of its weaknesses. If you could find something better please tell me. I hate simisear.

I am beginning at competitive pokemon. Your tips could go a long way. Thank you.

Increase your descriptions a bit please, especially Persian and Armaldo, otherwise I'll have to lock this thread.

You'll probably be wanting to use a Jolly nature on Slaking, since without it it's outsped by several key threats such as Sawsbuck. A SubCM Gardevoir set with the same EVs and Sub / CM / Psychic / Focus Blast would probably be a better idea than Choice Specs if you want to be offensive, since right now a boosted Absol could 6-0 you with Sucker Punch and SubCM Gardevoir at least gives you -some- insurance against it. If you don't like a Pokemon like Simisear, though, why are you using it? You've got a ton of options in NU (check it out) so if you really don't like something you can just as easily replace it. I can't necessarily go through this team and change every Pokemon in it, so there's not much else that can be helped outright, but if you want you can check out #neverused on IRC, or simply browse the NU forum to see how the other good players get stuff done in NU and what Pokemon/sets they use. If you have any questions, you're certainly free to PM me as well.

Good luck with learning the game, and hope to see you around. :)

First of all zebraiken I love all my pokemon and dont want them replaced by other people who i dont know. I only hate simisear. and if you dont like my thread you can tell me what I am doing wrong and I will fix it. Not threaten me. I have tested my team out on play pokemon and won every single battle. I say I am new just so if I do something wrong people will correct it Like in a way delko did but he also threatened me and thats not cool. Zebraiken I appreciate you are trying to stick up for your friend and didn't threaten me. I can respect that. thank you for the ideas but the way you talk to rpggamer is insulting to me. I use these movesets because I like them and think they're good. So we wouldnt have gotten into this whole argument if WhiteDmist came in first and said what I was doing wrong not someone threatening me. WHo even cares if i say i am new at the game. Look at the pokemon and rate my team like the title says. You don't have to point out what I am doing wrong. Rate my team and if you dont like it say you dont! the fact that rpggamers posts were delete is terrible. He is just trying to stick up for me like you are for WhiteDmist. I have fixed what I have done wrong now lets stop this pointless argument to oblivion thank you for your suggestions. Is there a section for suggestions to teams. I dont see one. Probably because there isn't one. If there was I would be there. But since there isnt can you please tell me this what harm am I doing by posting this thread.
