[The Storm]

agreed with Phil.

 

[Zanapher]

noob question, how do i check the EV?
is it thier current stats you want or thier stats at lv 50?
(I never really understood this Ev training thing)

 

[Zanapher]

well, other than the fact that i dont have thier EV spread nor do i know how to find it or keep track of it what do you think of my team?

[Zanapher]

quick question, my luxray's ability is rivalry, say it beats another male pokemon, does it keep its attack increase or does it go back down if put against a female pokemon?

 

[The Storm]

your luxrays attacks only increase in power against other males. its much the same as super effectiveness. lets say, for arguements sake, your attacking a male pokemon, but ur opponent switches to a female before your attack. ur attack is not as effective bc its no longer a male.

 

[Zanapher]

how do you guys get your teams? do you breed them or catch them in the wild, i'm just curious.

 

[The Storm]

i catch em, then breed em till i get the nature + ability I want, then train em up.

 

[Neosquid]

Heres the Gen 5 Pokemon that I have trained so far:

Stunfisk (Adamant, Static)
Curse
Earthquake
Stone Edge
Rest

Garbodor (Impish, Stench)
Rock Blast
Gunk Shot
Toxic Spikes
Amnesia

Seismitoad (Quirky, Swift Swim)
Hydro Pump
Rain Dance
Earthquake
Sludge Bomb

Shelmet (Not yet evolved) (Timid, Hydration)
Guard Split
Bug Buzz
Giga Drain
Focus Blast

Comments?

 

[WMBQ]

In game, I presume?

For the most part, I like it

Your Seismitoad bothers me a bit--why Hydro Pump instead of Surf?

Otherwise, for an ingame team, it looks like it'll do the trick. Do you have an affinity for lumpy Pokemon or something? All of the Pokemon on your team-- bar Shelmet-- are so... LUMPY

----

Anyway, I just went into the Battle Institute and I scored 5599 I'm proud of myself.

 

[Zanapher]

you could teach seismitoad sludge wave instead of sludge bomb its essentially a poison type surf attack though it has a less chance for poisoning an opponent.

 

[Neosquid]

I like Hydro Pump more because it wont hurt my teammate when used in Double Battles. Same for Sludge Bomb.

Also, I might use this team competitively when the 5th Gen PBR comes out.
