Metadour-2
Smash Apprentice
After a recent loss, i pondered over and over about what had gone wrong.
If you don't know who i am, and i bet around 98% of you don't, I was a Gamestop tourney as my pokemon alter ego ObJ3Cti0n!!!
and my winning streak came to a screeching halt...
****!
anyway, i need a few thoughts on some revisions to my team. Note that i frequently take in and replace pokemon in my six pokes party to suit my needs. Here's how it usually goes anyway
Infernape (Jolly) @Life Orb
Blaze
252at 252 sp 4hp
-Flare blitz
-Close Combat
-(I can't decide on this third slot, right now i have shadow claw but i want t-punch for good coverage...)
-U-turn (don't say take this out cause it works wonderfully)
Gyarados (Adamant) @Sitrus Berry (any suggestions?)
Intimidate
252at 252 spd 4hp
-Dragon Dance
-EQ
-Aqua Tail
-Ice Fang (this one's not being replaced by stone edge, sorry, i don't like SE too much)
Exeggutor (Modest) @Heat Rock
Chlorophyll
252hp 125de 125sd
-Solarbeam
-Sunny Day
-Moonlight
-Psychic
Not your typical eggs in some way but it works well. Heat rock cause it's dependent on the sun, and psychic so that if something should happen to the sun it still has options and STAB
I usually stick with my Gengar/Ttar/Machamp combo for good coverage but i've found lately i need to start using my defensive pokemon more. Take a look...
Gengar (Timid) @Choice Specs (don't say hypnosis cause the specs work great)
Levitate
252sa 252sp 4hp
-Tbolt
-Shadow Ball
-Sludge Bomb
-Energy Ball
I'd put in focus bomb but it's nowhere near reliable.
Machamp (Adamant) @Choice Scarf (weird but it works sooooo well)
No Guard
252at 252sp 4hp
-Dynamic Punch
-Stone Edge
-Thunder Punch
-Ice Punch
If you have any suggestions go ahead with machamp, he's a little new and i'm open for advice.
Tyranitar (Joly) @Choice Band
Sand Stream
252at 252 sp 4hp
-EQ
-Rock Slide
-Crunch
-Ice Fang
If you think ice fang should go down for something speak up, but right now it does work well
my more defensive pokemon don't usually get to see the light of day, most people can be beat easy with my offensive party, but when facing tough trainers those offensive guys get too predictable...what do you think?
Blissey (Bold) @Leftovers
Natural Cure
252de 200hp 56sd
-Aromatherapy (i find that i need this move more and more all the time)
-Softboiled
-Protect
-(i need some ideas for this slot here...)
Dusknoir (Impish) @(Need help with this one, no two of the same item)
Pressure
252de 252sd (does that work or should it be changed? I know his hp can be a problem but seismic toss doesn't hit it anyway...)
-Shadow Sneak
-Thunder Punch
-Protect
-Again, a little lost on this slot. Resto berry combo? WoW?
Rhyperior (Brave) @need item help
Solid Rock
252sd 200hp 56de
-Stone Edge
-EQ
-Megahorn
-Curse
i dunno what it is but my rhyperior just keeps on getting trashed on, even what teaming it with ttar for the sandstorm boost. I duno if i should trash it or do something else with it
and that' s about it. Hopefully i can get that infernape stuff resolved and the defensive pokemon part as well. I'm almost all set with my team, it just needs some final revisions and some time i HOPE
(BTW i know that there are ways to hack for perfect IVs and shiny pokemon on a AR DS but i just don't have the codes for it. Apparently my friend thoroughly believe that i can't, partially because he has an AR DS as well and he doesn't know how to input codes that aren't default with the system. Although i'm not one for hacking, I'd still like to know if anybody has the code. I aint gonna lie, it sounds interesting. I wouldn't hack for anything that couldn't be done with patience anyway...)
