There's no need to tell you, I'm a fridge, goddam
NOTE: THIS IS NOT A TEAM TO BE RATED, i am simply putting in movesets to get some feedback on them, so feel free to rate the individual movesets. thank you.


Typhlosion(Wide Lens)
Nature: Modest
Ev's: 252 SA, 160 Spd, 80 HP, 18 Def/SD
-Fire Blast
-Focus Blast
-Will-O-Wisp
-Swagger

sort of a utility set mixed with some sweepage. Swagger is useful for confusing and annoying ur opponent, and the attack boost they get? well, thats what w-o-w is for. the burn pretty much neutralizes the attack boost. and burn can get annoying too. if you've got spikes set, you can get some switches going, maybe. and then with his maxed out 317 SA Fire Blast and Focus Blast are going to do some damage. and wide lens helps with the accuracy problem. fire blast is obvious, and with focus blast, those t-tar switch-ins can kiss my a$$.



Roserade(Salac Berry)
Nature: Timid
Ev's: 252 SA, 252 Spd, 6 HP
-Substitute
-Growth
-Energy Ball
-Sludge Bomb/HP:Fire

not the most usual set. but anyway, substitute, get a growth or 2 in. energy ball is your basic STAB move, and the last move depends, more STAB, or steel coverage. im leaning towards HP:Fire



Meganium(Light Clay)
Nature: Modest
Ev's: 252 HP, 129 Def, 129 SA
-Leech Seed
-Synthesis
-Light Screen
-Energy Ball

not only do most of these moves make it a bit harder to kill, energy ball also gets decent STAB and damage, leech seed is always annoying, synthesis helps survivability, and light screen as always for special protection. pretty good, IMO



Arcanine(Leftovers)
Nature: Adamant
Ev's: 252 Atk, 100 HP, 100 Def, 58 SD
-Curse/Howl
-Extremespeed
-Flare Blitz
-Thunder Fang

flare blitz has brought this guy back. curse up, attack away. Thunder Fang is nice too on this guy. not the normal fast sweeper that people go with, but it still works, just try to avoid specsmence. btw if you use howl, max out speed. otherwise, with curse, use the ev spread above.



well, those are the movesets i got now. i thought id try fire and grass types today. so what do you guys think?

I like your sets.

I recomend using Salac instead of Petaya on Rose, since you will be using Growth raising your SpAtt.

Arcanine is fine, I prefer Howl, but Curse raise some Def and EX-Speed is just top tier.

I suggest Light Clay for Mega (was that the name of the item?) it make Light Screen last 8 turns. Since it recover it's health with Leech, you will last longer with Screen's effect.

Until wii meet again,

Well, if a Poke holding Light Clay uses LightScreen/Reflect, the wall will last 8 turns instead of 5, and that is even more top tier than Wii4Mii.

j/k Wii4Mii lol

Btw, you can find Light Clay in Underground. They are rare/uncommon I think =/

Even though Rose is my favorite Poke, I think Meganium is your best bet, and seting up the Screen so Arcanine can sweep safer.

Starmie is an awesome Water type, a fast and strong special sweeper as well. Or you may consider Vaporeon, with Screen will last longer, and sets up Wish.

Electivire is a great physical sweeper, but I prefer Magnezone to trap Skarms/Forrys.

Thank you, H@wK and Contents_Under_Pressure. :lick: Yeah, I DO own and I AM top tier.

@ H@wK
You know, you're the fifth person that has put "Until wii meet again" at the end of their post. I don't understand. Is it clever? Catchy? I did it because I felt like putting my username at the end of posts like some people do. But, since my username has "Wii" in it, eventually I thought of, "Until wii meet again".

I'd put more Speed EVs into your Typhlosion.

Growth isn't the best move for Roserade, but you could probably squeeze one in behind a substitute. I'd give it a Salac Berry, too.

Meganium looks good.

Arcanine looks good, although I might put some more EVs into Speed.

Until wii meet again,

all right. ive got four more movesets. lets see what i was able to come up with. i cant guarantee it will be as good as my first four, but anyway....


Starmie(Lum Berry/Leftovers)
Ev's: 200 Spd, 120 SA, 100 HP, 90 SD
-Rapid Spin
-Recover
-Thunder Wave/Confuse Ray
-Surf/Ice Beam/Thunderbolt/Psychic

well, obviously starmie makes an excellent rapid spinner and is quite fast at doing it. recover is also obvious. now you can pick your choice of status affecter and attack. t-wave lasts, but confuse ray can be very annoying. then the attack depends on your situation. usually surf or psychic is used because of STAB, but any of them will work.


Vaporeon(Leftovers)
Ev's: 252 HP, 100 SD, 100 Def, 58 SA
-Surf
-Ice Beam/Baton Pass
-Acid Armor
-Aqua Ring

kinda wallish, and its pretty cool. acid armor raises that defense very high, and if someone has light screen on, that coupled with acid armor will make this harder to beat. aqua ring lets it recover HP along with the leftovers too. surf is obvious for this water pokemon, and the second slot depends. do you need someone to BP? cuz vaporeon does it well. but a second attack can help vaporeon's versatility as well. some cool.



Magnezone(Leftovers)
Ev's: 252 SA, 100 SD, 158 Def
-Thunderbolt
-Thunder Wave
-HP: Ice, Water, or Grass/Screech
-Reflect/Explosion

thunderbolt and thunder wave are obvious for an electric type like this guy. now for the last two slots the left side is preferred, reflect and Hidden Power help this guy alot. but if you want a big bang on someone, go with the surprise with screech and explosion.



Electivire(Choice Band)
Ev's: 252 Atk, 252 Spd, 6 HP
-Thunderpunch
-Ice Punch
-Earthquake
-Cross Chop

an electric type with these moves? im in heaven. lol if he could learn volt tackle, id use him all the time, but thunderpunch works good enough. with these moves, he makes an excellent choice bander. definitely a good choice for a physical sweeper.


well, there you go. electric and water types. they any good?


btw, i edited my first post with the item and ev changes. peace.

Hmm... I don't think I'd give Arcanine Curse. I'd give it Howl AND EVs in Speed!

ya i edited it up there as a choice between the two. the only reason i put curse was because it raises defense too. but ur right howl would be better, so i put it up there. anyway, can i get the new movesets rated?

Nothing here is new except the EV spread
What's the thinking behind it, anyway?



Vaporeon(Leftovers)
Ev's: 252 HP, 100 SD, 100 Def, 58 SA
-Surf
-Haze/Ice Beam
-Acid Armor
-Aqua Ring

kinda wallish, and its pretty cool. acid armor raises that defense very high, and if someone has light screen on, that coupled with acid armor will make this harder to beat. aqua ring lets it recover HP along with the leftovers too. surf is obvious for this water pokemon, and the second slot depends. do you need someone to haze? cuz vaporeon does it well. but a second attack can help vaporeon's versatility as well. some cool.
No Haze and Stat Upping moves on the same set. period. Replace it with Baton Pass.



Magnezone(Leftovers)
Ev's: 252 SA, 100 SD, 158 Def
-Thunderbolt
-Thunder Wave
-HP: Ice, Water, or Grass/Screech
-Reflect/Explosion

OK, I guess
