  • Open up your teambuilder, and where the little drop down box says advanced, select side window. From there, you can set abilities on there

    Did you know Scizor was supposed to have Technician in the first place right?
    Hey IE, you know that Azelf you have?

    Replace Psychic with Grass Knot. I just realized that Psychic works for **** AND you can take down more leads like Pert down with it.
    And remember to post this up in the battle tower sub forum of the Poke Center. You'll get many improvements for this team to not be complete crap like it is atm.
    Uhhhhhhh no.... hmmmmm...

    Put a Life Orb Starmie in there...

    Also, considering this team is complete garbage atm (don't worry, that's how most teams are during their first stages), you may want to post this up in the PC for improvements
    No, just switch Salamence and MixApe around


    Let's see, so you're missing 1 pokemon anyways then right?
    Nope, Swampert is a lead.

    Since the metagame will now shift to a more wall oriented one, you need to get yourself an Infrenape. Just get a MixApe set and there's your replacement.
    Ok bro, after you battle me we'll see you battle and see where your team can improve k?
    Sure, ok. Let's see how you do against me and battle me first ok? I'm on PO on the beta server

    What's your username?
    And there you have it, a team

    Save it on PO and tomorrow we'll try and test it out ok?

    But sometime around 7 or 8 PM, because I'm going over at a friend's for the day
    Jesus, dude Salamence. MENCE. SalaMENCE.

    Giddit? It's said like that too. It's like calling Stealth Rock SR or Earthquake EQ or Explosion Plode


    Anyways, good. Now for the last one I want... ummmm.... Infernape.

    Give me a MixApe
    Ok good, for the final one we're gonna take Salamence.

    Give me a Life Orb one. I find that one to be the most effective and very good
    Ok good, now that leaves us with 2 more open spaces.

    Give me a Choice Band Scizor
    Put a letter next to it like "Rotom-A" or something

    And actually, look up Rotom-c and make a set for it
    Actually, go on the beta server

    Open up PO, and then go online and then just double click the beta server. Easy as that
    Basically, it's a set that has a pokemon holding choice scarf... that's all that there is to it really...
    Although you should come on PO and get into the Alpha Server

    I want you to look at a couple of battles so you can get an idea of what to expect

    Just look for roacherman, my old username and join in and watch any battles I'm doing
    hmmmm...

    Try a choice scarf set.

    If things aren't going your way with the move you're locked into, just switch out

    anyways, let's continue later ok?
    Ok good, you can start setting up spikes and if anyone tries to kill you, you can regain health with Roost.

    Next just give me a Heatran set you think is good and I'll see if it's good enough.
    Alright, that's good for a lead.

    Now for the other 5 members of your team. You're gonna want to have walls and sweepers

    Walls are pokemon with high Defense/Sp Defense that can last many turns before being killed. Usually they set up entry hazards or give the opponent status ailments as well, in what we call stalling. An example is Blissey

    Sweepers are pokemon that are can take out at least 2 pokemon in a row before dying or something along those lines. Basically, they're those pokemon that you use to kill other pokemon rather quickly. An example is Starmie

    Now let's see... I want you to show me a Skarmory set that let's it wall. Skarmory has a very high Defense which allows it to take several hits before dying.

    Can you do that?
    By set, I meant give me a list of moves of Azelf

    You know, something like:

    Azelf @ Light Clay
    Jolly
    252 HP/ 4 SpD/ 252 Spe

    Reflect
    Light Screen
    Explosion
    Stealth Rock

    See? And since you're gonna want to make Azelf a lead, it shouldn't be hard finding/coming up with a moveset for it.
    Alright, so this is where you come in. I want you to come up with a set for Azelf

    Hint: Smogon has a set for nearly every pokemon
    Yes he is, but he's in the normal lead variety.

    Actually you know what? Sorry to say this, but considering you're still a beginner, I think it'd be more simple to start off with a normal lead ok? Sorry bout that.

    Now I can suggest to you a dozen leads. Swampert, Azelf, etc.

    Now to start off I say we go with an Azelf lead ok?
    Alright look, in competitive battling, you gotta get over the fact that you want a favorite on your team.

    For example Amphy, though epic, is in either NU or UU, which are crappy tiers. Bastiodon is NU

    So sorry bro, no favorites here

    But lead or anti-lead
    OU is filled with many threats. For example, Scizor is not exactly the biggest, but it is gay. Why you may ask? Because Scizor can learn Bullet Punch. Sure, normally it's not the most powerful move, but since Bullet Punch gains STAB (Same Type Attack Bonus) and if you add an item to it, it is an awesomely powerful move AND since it's increased priority (moves that go first/after), it can hit first.

    Another threat we have to the game is Salamence. That thing is an absolute powerhouse and I'm not joking. There are actually talks on Smogon (you remember what that is right?) on making it Ubers. I say its most versatile move would have to be outrage. It's so good that it's capable of OHKOing most pokemon.

    There are more threats such as Heatran, Swampert, Infernape, etc., but that should come later. First, let's make you a team. Now, we COULD make an anti lead, a pokemon that is made to destroy normal leads, or we can make a normal lead.

    Your pick and we'll go from there
    ****ing ****, I have to leave in a while, but I'll start telling you about OU first of all and get Pokemon Online instead. It has mostly beginnners and it has a user friendly interface.

    Next VM is about OU so I don't exceed the 1000 character limit
