Make the Nature something that raises spattk. Yoou won't be able to outrun much with a
speed of 291 and give it psychic over Sunny Day, if not, give it a Heat Rock.

Shadow Ball
Sludge Bomb
Will-O-Wisp/Hypnosis (haven't decided just yet, probably Hypno)

Changes are noticable.

P.S I can give you a Magmar to breed.

 

[Zook]

Ignore Celebi, he has no idea what he's saying. If you want to go all-out offense, listen to him.

New team I'm tryin out...

Magmortar @ Heat Rock/Leftovers
~~
Nature: Timid Modest
~~
Flamethrower/Lava Plume
Focus Blast/Psychic
Thunderbolt (T.bolt from here on out)
Sunny Day

I'm new to Magmortar, but here I go. If you want to burn them, go with Lava Plume over Flamethrower, and if you care about accuracy, Psychic over FB.

Gengar @ Leftovers/Choice Specs
~~
Nature: Timid
~~
Shadow Ball
Sludge Bomb
Will-O-Wisp/Hypnosis/Energy Ball
T.Bolt

Use Will-O-Wisp.

Zapdos @ Leftovers
~~
Nature: Timid (got him that way in LG)
~~
Roar
T.Bolt
Thunder Wave
U-turn

Fine.

Rhyperior @ Choice Band
~~
Nature: Brave
~~
Stone Edge
Earthquake
Mega Horn
Swords Dance/ Avalanche (again, haven't decided)

You may want Rock Wrecker or Rock Slide over Stone Edge, but it's your choice. Use Avalanche.

Alakazam
~~
Nature: Modest
~~
Psychic
Shadow Ball
Calm Mind
Energy Ball

I don't care. I'm done.

Torterra
~~
Nature: Quirky ((-_-;)
~~
Stone Edge
Earthquake
Stealth Rock
Wood Hammer

Whatever.

Very offensive. You may want to add in more defensive pokemon.

 

[titus]

Put in crescelia or metagross as your wall since they both have good defense stats in each defense stat, and they are both psychic, so that way you can have focus blast on magmortar as opposed to the psychic that has been recommended. crescelia is obviously better for this role, unless you like metagross' atk stat.

 

[O D I N]

Thanks for the help. I think I will take up your offer on that Magmar. The magby I keep trying to breed with doesn't like the ditto I have. Can't blame it, that Ditto is a *****.

 

[icepyro144]

Hey, watch your words there friend. That's my Ditto that you're putting down... lol

Anyway, ODIN and I have been working on this team for a while and yeah, looking at it now a wall-pokemon would be pretty good the team. Or, lacking that, some kind of sweeper with decent defenses (that Metagross suggestion is probably better than what I've come up with so far...).

Anyway (again), that Zapdos is IMO one of his better choices. We kinda randomly came across it when we were looking at what Zapdos can learn versus what might make for a fun build. Luckily it didn't have a horrible nature (well, decent anyway) but we came to the consensus of putting U-Turn on it for fun. It's general strategy would be to T-Wave as many pokemon as possible and then U-Turn out when it sees a ground type or something that would probably kill it regardless.

 

[O D I N]

U-turn FTW.

Baby pokemon can't breed.

*slaps head*

 

[O D I N]

DoH!!! >_<

 

[titus]

Oh yeah, I forgot to mention that dusknoir also has good defenses (135 in each) and is a good physical attacker.

 

[O D I N]

Hmm...dusknoir eh?

Anyone know where I can get Will'O wisp for me Gengar?

 

[O D I N]

Okay... So I've decided to drop Gengar for Dusknoir.

Can anyone help me out with a Nature and possible moveset please? Dusk' is kinda new to me. :-? The poison attribute on Gengar was killing. T_T It's a shame, I love Gengar.

 

[frenchfri]

I've never used Dusknoir, but I know a little about him.

Dusknoir @ Leftovers
Careful/Adamant nature
- Will-o-Wisp
- Shadow Sneak
- Pain Split
- Thunder Punch/Ice Punch

Nature depends on whether you want a more offensive or defensive Dusknoir. Weaken physical attackers with WoW. Shadow Sneak for STAB, and with his horrible speed it's the only way that he'll be going first. Pain Split is his only recovery move besides Rest, and works well. Last slot is for more damage dealing. Not too sure about EVs, but you really need 252 in HP since he only has a base of 50 (I think).

 

[O D I N]

Hmm. Thanks for the help.

Anyone wanna give a second opinion? I've learned to check multiple sources. Thanks french for the input.

 

[MasterMatt]

dont go with dusknoir, his low Hp makes him not very good... go with gengar- his speed and sp.atk are really good if you EV train him...

 

[O D I N]

My problem with Gengar is his uber weakness to Psychic, which he's supposed to be strong against. :-? Him being ghost and all.

 

[titus]

dusknoir=sweeper, not tank. i agree with MasterMatt on that part, but he is a good physical sweeper with good defenses.
Moveset:
PainSplit
IcePunch
FirePunch
ShadowPunch

 

[Chill]

I don't have time to go through everything but right off the bat I noticed some poor advice was given.

Do not put focus blast on Gengar over WoW or hypnosis. There's no reason Gengar should have four attacking moves.

 

[titus]

Chill, i tihnk that you should read the more current posts first. If you did you would have noticed that ODIN is considering changing gengar for dusknoir.

 

[O D I N]

Well, certainly a ghost-tank of somesort. My buddy (icepyro) were discussing Dusknoir. But I'm kinda limited in the ghost dept. I always liked Gengar, but that poison attribute is killing me.

 

[Chill]

Chill, i tihnk that you should read the more current posts first. If you did you would have noticed that ODIN is considering changing gengar for dusknoir.

lol, like I said I was in a bit of a hurry. I did skim the thread but the advice is still valid. If he is in fact "considering" replacing Gengar and hasn't yet decided, he can still use what I suggested. I think Gengar is generally more useful than Dusknoir.

titus, upon taking your advice and reading the last few post I see most people agree anways. *shrug*

 

[O D I N]

Okay... I've been looking through a list of pokemon... And I stumbled across Spiritomb... Seems like it'd make a decent tank/sweeper perhaps. I'm still new at this, so help me out guys!

 

[titus]

lol, don't go with spiritomb.
I'd say off the top of my head that your best options for your tank/staller/sweeper, w/e you wanna call it are:
Crescelia
Metagross
Dusknoir
Gengar
and maybe Gardevoir who has a recovery move.

 

[MasterMatt]

yeah spiritomb sucks... it has way to low HP...

 

[O D I N]

So Zapdos can't go on P:BR anymore.... :-( Now I need a replacement for him...

Considering Electrivire, except they're uber hard to come by. What would a moveset for Meta gross look like?

By the way; I'm gonna keep Gengar, but I'm gonna have a Dusknoir as a side pokemon; One I can switch out if I need it. :shrug: I think it has potential. But what do I know?

 

[titus]

Depends, what kind of role will gross be playing on your team.

 

[O D I N]

Aww crap. :ugh: Didn't think of that...

Well, here was my new team... ish... Or at least in thought...

Magmortar
Gengar
Ryperior
Salamance

Still two empty spaces that I don't know what to do with. :-?

Metagross wouldn't be horrible. I'm missing out on tanks.
