The Snorlax Room

[Wave⁂]

I'd vote for Toxicroak.

Is Toxicroak still good in rain? Maybe Scizor, because ****ing Scizor

 

[Xubble]

Swarm Scizor?

 

[Sapphire Dragon]

I might do a Black nuzlocke soon. I just found my DS charger a few days ago after like three months, so idk.

My Galvantula though.

I'd say wait till Grey, transfer your good Poke's to Grey, then Nuzlocke Black all you want.

 

[Xubble]

I love Galvantula. 120/91 STAB Thunder is just plain wonderful. I just wish mine had HP Ice. :\

 

[UltiMario]

I'd vote for Toxicroak.

Is Toxicroak still good in rain? Maybe Scizor, because ****ing Scizor

Toxicroak absolutely is the best in the Rain.

 

[Xubble]

Sheer Force LO Dragon Dance Feraligatr appeals to me for rain sweeper.

 

[Kofu]

It's unreleased, though, so you'd have to play in Dream World.

In which case you should probably use Keldeo.

 

[Xubble]

And I think DD and Sheer Force are illegal together. I'll stick with Swords. Dance then.

And I don't like using legendaries. Too many people give me **** if I do.

 

[kirbyraeg]

last I remember DD+Sheer Force is released, but it doesn't have egg move compatibility which is basically the whole reason to use it.

 

[Xubble]

I want my Ice Pawnch, damn it.

Ah well. Maybe I'll get a rain/TR team going. T'will be EPIC.

 

[Gamegenie222]

[Sapphire Dragon]

Pro Breloom is pro

 

[choknater]

haha, survived that zen headbutt

 

[kirbyraeg]

i was going to ask how it survived that, but I realized that snorlax couldn't 1hko a piece of paper without a Choice Band anyway.

 

[The Real Gamer]

Toxicroak absolutely is the best in the Rain.

Im actually going to try this team for the hell of it. So lets see...

-Defensive politoed for rain stuff.
-Standard ferrothorn for SR and mandatory dragon resist.
-Specs Dnite to own ****.
-Scarf Rotom w for revenge killing.
-Toxicroak (not sure exactly which set to use. Never used one before.) to get past sp defensive walls like the pink *****es.

I feel like gastrodon doesn't fit very well on this team since it already has 3 rain resists. I think tentacruel would be a better fit. It can spin away sr for dnite and can beat scizor 1v1 unlike the other 5 pokes.

Suggestions anyone?

 

[Kofu]

i was going to ask how it survived that, but I realized that snorlax couldn't 1hko a piece of paper without a Choice Band anyway.

Poor Snorlax.
Pretty sure it was max Attack, too.

Though I am fairly certain Sheer Force Feraligatr isn't released yet, it's not that Egg Moves are inherently illegal on it. Instead, the Totodile being Male is what will prevent Egg Moves.

 

[UltiMario]

Specs DNite is so underwhelming its sad.

Anyways:

Toxicroak@Black Sludge
Adamant/Dry Skin
252HP/252Atk/4Spe
Substitute
Bulk Up
Drain Punch
Sucker Punch

best set.

 

[Sapphire Dragon]

Dat Bulk Up.

I'm curious, how did all of you get into competitive battling?

 

[kirbyraeg]

chok showed me shoddy

it was fun

 

[Sapphire Dragon]

Lol, I see. I might actually get into it sometime myself.

Forgot to put this in the last post, didn't want to edit:

I'd like to know your opinions on the best sets of this team.
Dragonite
Reuniclus
Flygon
Sigilyph
Skarmory
Jolteon

Edit: Damn, that would get ***** by ice x_x

 

[Wave⁂]

Dragonite
Reuniclus
Flygon
Sigilyph
Skarmory
Jolteon

Scarf Flygon because you need some speed

Skarmory has only one viable moveset, Swords Dance / Agility / Roost / Brave Bird

To make it so Sigilyph and Reuniclus aren't completely redundant, give Reuinclus a Trick Room + 3 Attacks set with LO, give Sigilyph a bulky Cosmic Power or Calm Mind set.

Make Dragonite a max attack variant, you need physical power. Don't use CB or Scarf, your other physical guy is Choiced.

Jolteon could run a Life Orb or Specs set. I think LO is better with the new Volt Switch though.

 

[choknater]

i have been into competitive pokemon since GSC

then found netbattle

then shoddy

then PO



always loved fire types so much! (which is why i tend to get RAAAAPED)

 

[kirbyraeg]

i just like getting off with alakazam

 

[UltiMario]

I started somewhere in 3rd Gen on Netbattle.

 

[Kofu]

Wigglytuff is bad, but it has the second biggest Wishes aside from Alomomola and Blissey.

Oh, I started with Netbattle, too.

 

[choknater]

wow dude.

so i was trying to improve my smogon sun team and i got it to a decent level

then i went on PO server and averaged around a 1300 rating

then i remembered Ken wasn't banned, slapped it on my team, and won 7 straight

 

[The Real Gamer]

Dat Bulk Up.

I'm curious, how did all of you get into competitive battling?

Got tired of only lurking the light house so I branched out on this site and got involved with the poke center which eventually led me to competitive battling.

Probably the best hobby of mine that I've gained as a result of smashboards... Well either that or watching the survivor TV series.

 

[UltiMario]

second biggest Wishes aside from Alomomola and Blissey.

Kofu learn how to count

 

[choknater]

lol

i was blowing people up w/ blaziken on PO

then i realized exca and swift swim weren't banned either

ah man

i like that server much more!!

 

[Terywj [태리]]

Is Latios still UU on PO.

 

[choknater]

ROFL

was it before?

i doubt it

 

[The Real Gamer]

Actually it was if my memory is correct.

 

[Terywj [태리]]

ROFL

was it before?

i doubt it

It was at one point, yes.

Reuniclus is a major issue if you don't run Scizor. Scizor also handles the sp defensive wall *****es pretty handily. Bulky SD with BB over Roost is probably your best bet to fill both of those roles.

Something else to consider (it kind of goes against the original premise of the team but you're taking out Gastrodon so it's k) is Wish Latias over DNite. Its synergy with that Scizor set and Ferrothorn is bonkers in the rain. Since the team would rely so much on Latias though, running something to help keep her alive and maybe lessen her load would be really worth considering in the slot that would have run Tentacruel. An extremely physically bulky support Celebi would probably work best there. I don't know what exactly you'd want to run, but Heal Bell/Wish/T-Wave/U-Turn would be a decent place to start.

 

[choknater]

oh haha. sorry, by "i doubt it" i meant that i doubt that it is now, even if ti was then.

 

[Kofu]

Kofu learn how to count

UUHHHHHHHHHHHHH
well people use "both" to refer to more than two things so uh

 

[kirbyraeg]

if we're going to split hairs, you also didn't include chansey

but wishpassing is either "it's big enough" or "it's too small to cover gengar's crotch"

 

[choknater]

yo sand stream shedinja though.

 

[Wave⁂]

Most weather abilities make the owner immune to that weather, like Sand Veil Cacturne. Not sure if it's the same with Sand Stream, though.

 

[Circa]

Latias' place on the team is supposed to be more than just Wish passer though. It's got to be more versatile than that for maximum effectiveness. What I was actually thinking is that you'd run her standard CM set with Wish in place of Recover. Well, and Surf in place of HP Fire obviously. That makes you something of a utility sweeper (if that makes any sense). When you think you're going to get hit hard, Wish that turn. Switch out next turn to whatever threatens the opponent most, and then try to get your other Wisher to pass to Latias when possible.

Also, I lied about using Celebi. I kinda forgot that it has a lot of similar weaknesses to Latias, so it'd be harder to keep Latias alive via Wish-passing. Try Vaporeon instead. Synergy with Ferrothorn is so good, and it's got some pretty solid stuff going on with Latias as well. Heal Bell/Wish is obvious on the set for what its purpose is, but I'm not sure what I'd put in the last two slots. Probably BP and Scald, but BP could be changed to Ice Beam if it was more necessary. Hydration for your ability.
