My Pokemon Team, Featuring Blasts The Past And Present

[Tevin_T@lB@iN150]

Here is one of my main Pokemon parties that I use, give me a rating on them if you will:

Pidgeot- lvl 71,Impish Nature,Ability: Keen Eye,Item: Amulet Coin

Lucario-lvl 69, Relaxed Nature,Abilty: Inner Focus,Item: None

Typhlosion-lvl 68,Naughty Nature,Ability:Blaze, Item: None

Luxray-lvl67,Sassy Nature,Ability: Rivalry, Item: BlackGlasses

Blastoise-lvl75,Hasty Nature,Ability:Torrent, Item: None

Dragonite-lvl 59,Careful Nature,Ability:Inner Focus, Item: None

These stats aren't final, they are subject to change in the near future, I'll keep you updated.Until then, tell me what you think

 

[Luso]

You've got a good range of types there. Some of them are used to support other Pokemon's weaknesses, especially if used during a Double Battle. Though half of your team is weak against Ground-type attacks, swapping them out for Pidgeot and Dragonite should alleviate the problem for a while. Other than that, I'd give them some pretty versatile move sets to make them more varied, but still well-balanced along with their type. I'd give your team a 4/5. ^_^

 

[Tevin_T@lB@iN150]

Thanks for the advice. I didn't realize that half of my team was weak against Ground actually until you pointed it out.Thanks a bunch.

 

[Luso]

Well, if the hold items gave them a sort of speed boost, and you gave your Pokemon some good Grass, Fighting, Ice-type attacks, etc, you can counter the Ground weakness fairly easily. However, take into account of the power of the attacks you give them and the accuracy, as if you miss the target with the attack, your Pokemon are sure to face a great deal of trouble when it's your opponent's turn to attack.

 

[Tevin_T@lB@iN150]

Yeah I've taken care of countering Ground types for my Pokemon.I rarely use items though, which is something I have to get in the habit of.Most of the attacks I've given them have high accuracy with the exception of moves like my Blastoise's Hydro Pump.However I have Hydro Cannon to back that up, it has more accuracy than Hydro Pump but I must be careful because it has the same side-effect as Hyper Beam(can't attack for 1 turn).The Pokemon I'm having the most trouble with is Dragonite.Do you know of any Pokemon that I could battle to increase it's accuracy?

 

[Luso]

Hmm...what do you mean by accuracy? I don't think there is a stat that is sectioned on Accuracy, so please clarify a little more.

 

[Tevin_T@lB@iN150]

That's right there isn't an actual accuracy stat. My bad about that.But I've been troubled with Dragonite lately because all of the attacks have great accuracy but Dragonite misses them 75% of the time,with the exception of Waterfall.Here are the moves:

Thunder-70 Accuracy

Dragon Rush-75 Accuracy

Hyper Beam-90 Accuracy

Waterfall-100 Accuracy

Do you know what the problem may be, is it Dragonite's level, or does it have something to do with the Speed Stat?

 

[Luso]

Well, it probably is because of chance, but usually attacks with 75% or less are prone to miss not too greatly but don't hit their targets no too often. IMO, I'd replace Thunder with Thunderbolt or something else. Attacks like this need the move Lock-on, which ensures the next attack's accuracy to be 100%. But, since Dragonite can't learn it, you could always teach him Rain Dance, but that's up to you. Instead of Dragon Rush, I'd recommend Dragon Pulse even though it has 10 less attack power, which should make it 90. Also, is your Dragonite's Attack stat higher than your Special Attack stat, because if it is, Waterfall and Hyper Beam can replaced with Aqua Tail (learn able again if you use a Heart Scale to make him remember it from LV 33) and Giga Impact, respectively. They are both Physical attacks, so yeah. ^_^

 

[jigglyppuff8]

No offense Luso, but you shouldn't be giving advice unless you know what you're talking about. A proper team needs the right movesets, natures, and EVs.
A good format looks like this:
Pokemon @ Item
Ability(if two)
Nature (+ - )
EVs
~Move 1
~Move 2
~Move 3
~Move 4

Levels absolutely do not matter due to wi-fi's ability to automatically raise Pokemon to lv. 100/50 during the battle. So, unless you don't have wi-fi, or plan not to use wi-fi, I suggest that you learn about EVs(Effort Values), natures, movesets, IVs(Individual Values), basically the basics of DPP's competitive metagame before you post a team again. If you don't plan to go competitive though, this team is fine. But so is a team of 1 lv. 100 magikarp. If you need help learning all this stuff (as all beginners do), there are articles stickied at the Poke Center and Rating Room. Smogon(google it) is also a resource for tier lists and suggested movesets.

Also, Garchomp tears right through this team(as he often does).

 

[Luso]

Since I DID take offense to it, your statement really doesn't matter. All he asked about were attacks, so I told him what he wanted. If he wanted to know know more, then, obviously, I would've told him such. For the record, I do know what I am talking about, since I've been playing the games since they were released before 2000. <_<;

 

[jigglyppuff8]

Playing longer doesn't magically make you a better player. If so, I'd be at the jigglypuff forums giving advice.

Also, when rating the team, you rate wholly. How can someone give a team a 4/5 without even knowing the moves. Clearly since he didn't post his EVs, posted his levels, didn't give half his Pokemon items, or didn't use the proper format (see above), he has no clue about the Competitive Pokemon metagame so I help out by suggesting he does a little independent work before posting a team. I also suggest the same to you Luso. I don't want to start a flame war so this is the last time I'm posting in this thread (I hope).

 

[Luso]

How I rate someone doesn't give you the right to say someone doesn't know what they're talking about. If you wish to say something about the owner of thread and his team, then do so. However, if you are going to, then disregard any posts that have nothing to do with YOU or your rating, because frankly, I could do without your petty advice. I rate on what is given, and seeing as I'm more laid back than you are (for obvious reasons), I tend to give better-than-average ratings, which I apologize for, Tevin_T@lB@iN150. Since you friend-requested me unlike a certain other person here, I'll be happy to help with your team where I am not subject to rude people like jigglypuff8 here.

 

[jigglyppuff8]

There are two "p"s in my username.

 

[Luso]

And your point? <_<
Anyway, Tevin_T@lB@iN150, if you need any advice other than what is displayed here, then feel free to ask whenever. I'll be happy to help you to the best of my knowledge. ^_^

 

[Tevin_T@lB@iN150]

Sure thanks Luso, I'll remember that when I'm stumped on something. And as for Jigglyppuff8, how are you going to tell someone that they can't judge based on the information given.Isn't that what you just did? If you also looked I specifically said that these aren't the final stats.But whatever, I guess I can't change your opinion on what you think and I have other things to deal with anyway.I'm going to look into the EVs though. Just for the record , A Garchomp won't easily breeze through my team,many have tried and many have failed

 

[Luso]

Hmm, thanks for that. ^_^ I tried leveling a Garchomp, but it's weakness against Ice makes me hesitant to put it in my party.

 

[Tevin_T@lB@iN150]

Same here, plus I can't seem to find a Gible to train anyway, they're so rare I can't find any.

 

[jigglyppuff8]

Go down to the area under cycling road, and when you're there, go under the cycling road so that you can't see yourself. Go up until you find the entrance to a cave, use strength to move the boulders, and just hope you find a wild Gible.

 

[Zook]

This is in-game, right?

Here is one of my main Pokemon parties that I use, give me a rating on them if you will:

Pidgeot- lvl 71,Impish Nature,Ability: Keen Eye,Item: Amulet Coin

Eh, I'd go for an Impish nature. If you use this team against another player, though, get rid of that Amulet Coin! It's worthless in Person-vs.-Person battles. I can't say much without a moveset, though.

Lucario-lvl 69, Relaxed Nature,Abilty: Inner Focus,Item: None

Go for Steadfast instead of Inner Focus, better to benefit from a Flinch than be immune. No Relaxed nature, Lucario NEEDS speed. Once again, I need a moveset to be serious here.

Typhlosion-lvl 68,Naughty Nature,Ability:Blaze, Item: None

Blech, Naughty nature? Breed for a new one. And I can't rate this team without movesets...

Luxray-lvl67,Sassy Nature,Ability: Rivalry, Item: BlackGlasses

If this Luxray is going to be an attacker, I'd go for a better nature. Blackglasses suck Sudowudo, use a Life Orb if you wanna boost his moves.

Blastoise-lvl75,Hasty Nature,Ability:Torrent, Item: None

I can't rate this. No moves.

Dragonite-lvl 59,Careful Nature,Ability:Inner Focus, Item: None

Careful nature...? Urk. Breed for a better, not -Speed one. And I hope you like missing alot, 'cause that moveset will do just that. >.<

These stats aren't final, they are subject to change in the near future, I'll keep you updated.Until then, tell me what you think

Ratings in bold.

And yes, Chomp does rip through this team. Well, smart Chomps, anyways. Standard Garchomp carries EQ (KOs half this team), Stone Edge (KOs the 2 immune to it), and Outrage/Dragon Claw (***** everybody).

If this isn't a competitive team, you shouldn't post it.

 

[Tevin_T@lB@iN150]

Once again, I will tell you that these stats aren't final, but thanks for the tips but I'm not breeding any new Pokemon.I didn't ask for perfection, I just want a good team. And if I was going to face a Garchomp, I would use one of my other teams and pwn it with my Lapras' Sheer Cold anyway.

 

[Tevin_T@lB@iN150]

Thanks for the tip Jigglyppuff8, I'll probably get a Garchomp in one of my teams but since it's weak against Ice like Luso mentioned, I'll have to think about it.
