What's your pokemon team?

[Shadow*91]

its Dark Pulse not Shadow Pulse.

and i'm still not sure. Gengar has so many options for him so its crucial to pick the perfect move that goes with what i need for the whole team.

 

[Wolfondiam]

sorry, just spent the past few hours without sleep trying to slowly grind lvls on my 'team' which is different than the one i posted earlier, lol so i make minor mistakes on move names,

 

[Wolfondiam]

well since you seem to be online and know alot about this field, what do you think of my current team, since i have had to cut out a few fighters...

-not in order of appearance-
poliwrath
dragonite
electabuzz
arcanine
leafeon
rhyperior

 

[Fox]

On Gengar: I would personally give him Energy Ball. You Don't need Dream Eater since Gengar isn't bulky enough to heal any damage taken. Most of the time, he'll just die. Plus Psychic has horible coverage. If you don't like that, Dark Pulse could be an OK alternative.

On Bliss, Stealth Rock.

Buildwise, this team has great defensive coverage. You should be able to take and dish a lot of damage. I don't know if I like Charizard so mnuch, so if you're open with a swap, let me know.

Would like to test your team myself.

I agree with Fox's Gengar statement. I gave my Gengar Energy Ball because it is a perfect move for Rock, water, etc.

Gyarados = perfect. I have the same moveset but with Outrage.

Once I find my game I will post my team soon..... ugh I am so irresponsible

 

[Fox]

I'll have to take a rain check on that battle. I need to find a place that uses WEP wifi protection instead of this WPA crap we have now. I'll let you knkow when I do.

 

[Shadow*91]

ok, i'll give Gengar Energy Ball and unless someone has a better suggestion i'm gonna get have his nature be Modest.

any suggestions on the Gliscor and Blissey nature? i looked up some info and i'm thinking an Impish Gliscor and a Calm Blissey would work but would another be better?

 

[The Storm]

Well shadow... If youd like to take a walk on the wild side (lol) you could give your gengar this moveset

Dark Pulse
T Bolt
Hypnosis
Focus Blast

Dark Pulse gets much better coverage against lots of common gengar killers. T Bolt for coverage on water, flyers, etc. I suggest this bc it removes a lot of double typing moves. by that, I mean moves on the previous set, they covered many of the same weaknesses. Easy example, both T Bolt and energy ball would cover water. In this set, removing energy ball for focus blast, that gives much better coverage along with basically ***** slapping anyone who tries throwing a dark type or a normal type wall when you pull out gengar. Its the set I use at least, with a Life Orb, Modest nature, Spd and Sp Atk maxed.

Lemme know what you think, its only my opinion. Still your team, so you can have it however you want.

Test your teams on shoddy

*MY THREAD MY THREAD MY THREAD*

 

[King of Pop]

Hynosis usally misses although I do like this moveset.....

 

[The Storm]

Well on LO Gengar, Hypnosis is a last resort thing when A: Gengar is too weak to take another full force hit or B: Gengar cannot have a hope of killing the target in one hit and survivng or C: They pull out some kind of thing that Gengar just has no hope of killing and you dont feel like switching out.

No matter what way you slice it, LO Gengar is dangerous, especially with the set I said. Hypnosis is kind of filler/balance so you dont have to let your gengar die from draining its own health if you dont want to.

Here's my opinion

besides my sandstorm team which i'm still ev training and getting the right moves and natures, this is another team i've been thinking of.

Charizard (modest/sp.atk & spe evs)
-heat wave
-focus blast
-air slash
-dragon pulse
if your doing single battle, i moreso reccomend flamethrower, because even though it loses a whopping 5 base power, it has more reliable accuracy. In double battles, heat wave rocks though. Air slash might not be completely neccesary.

gallade (adament or jolly/evs in atk. And spe)
-psycho cut
-cc
-shadow sneak
-s dance
normally i would use night slash, shadow claw or x-scissor instead of shadow sneak because he's already pretty fast. But do what you will.

gliscore (not sure on nature or evs besides a def+ and maxing def out)
-ice fang
-thunder fang
-eq
-roost?
maxing out defense might also not be neccesary, why not get his hp up? He is also succeptible to special attacks, some sd evs are also suggested. You might also want some attack.
YOU MISPELLED GLISCOR
gyrados (adament/ max out atk and spe)
-waterfall
-ddance
-ice fang
-eq/stone edge {not sure}
you could replace waterfall with aqu tail for extra power. You could also replace ice fang for avalanche for a few reasons. -5 power, +5 accuray, and lack of unommon special effect, but if gyarados finds himself facing a faster opponent, he could do some serious damage.
Earthquake.

gengar (modest?/ evs in sp.atk and spe)
-shadow ball
-thunderbolt
-hypnosis
-??? (i'm thinking dream eater)
as anyone and there mother had already suggested, you could use dark pulse or energy ball. Or focus blast.
blissey (again i'm not sure on nature or evs but i know to max out hp)
-softboiled
-seismic toss
-toxic?
-???
calm mind+shadow ball would be a great way to take care of ghost types that seismic toss can't hit. Blissey has a c- special attack, in other words, useable.


filling in the blanks as well as overall critique would be nice.
yay filling in the blanks

 

[Fox]

Gyarados: Avalanche on something that D.dances? Contradictory. Also a chance for a flinch on something fast (DD) is great.
Charizard: Heat Wave and Flamethrower is a personal choice. Although the accuracy is (slighty) lowered, that little extra power is attractive. I personally like Heat Wave on pokes that are all out attackers over Flamethrower. Although Fire Blast is probably a better choice in this situation for the power boost. Air Slash is a necessity if you ask me.
Gliscor: The whole reason to use a Gliscore is to wall physical threats. Why not max it out? Unless you're going to try and make him a little faster (which I don't recomend) I don't see a reason not to. You COULD raise his attack, but it's pointless to do that unless you are trying to run a SD set. Impish nature.
Gallade: Gallade has OK speed. I say Shadow Sneak is a decent choice only for priority. Ghost is a terrible type for OU battles though. I agree with Night Slash over Psycho Cut since Psychic is also a terrible type in OU play (even with the STAB.

Blissey: He's using it as a normal Blissey. A utility/wall. Yes, Ghosts are a problem, but using Thunder Wave over Toxic is a better idea to deal with ghosts if you ask me because you'll have counters for ghosts (shadow sneak Gallade).

 

[The Storm]

I agree with Fox. I like your Chari. I too enjoy Heat Wave over FT not only for the power boost, but if itzs not able to kill something, the increased percentage for inflicting a burn is completely worth the 5% accuracy drop. Annd, just like Fox says, Avalanche is pretty dull on a DD. I say keep Waterfall over Aqua tail as well bc, with the speed boost from DD, it will either die from Waterfall or flinch, in which case Aqua tail will rfesult in death or a miss.

I didn't say that he should have done that, I was just throwing ideas around. Sorry if I hit you in the head.
Charizard: Heat Wave and Flamethrower is a personal choice. Although the accuracy is (slighty) lowered, that little extra power is attractive. I personally like Heat Wave on pokes that are all out attackers over Flamethrower. Although Fire Blast is probably a better choice in this situation for the power boost.

I was just thinking Fire Blast. But I'm confused. Why is Air Slash a neccesarity?
Gliscor: The whole reason to use a Gliscore is to wall physical threats. Why not max it out? Unless you're going to try and make him a little faster (which I don't recomend) I don't see a reason not to. You COULD raise his attack, but it's pointless to do that unless you are trying to run a SD set. Impish nature.
Darn it. I hate being proved wrong.
Gallade: Gallade has OK speed. I say Shadow Sneak is a decent choice only for priority. Ghost is a terrible type for OU battles though. I agree with Night Slash over Psycho Cut since Psychic is also a terrible type in OU play (even with the STAB.
Nah, look at it this way. Close Combat can't hit ghosts, which is where Night Slash comes in. Psycho Cut gets strong hits on Mr.GengyGar as well as others.
Blissey: He's using it as a normal Blissey. A utility/wall. Yes, Ghosts are a problem, but using Thunder Wave over Toxic is a better idea to deal with ghosts if you ask me because you'll have counters for ghosts (shadow sneak Gallade).
Good Point.

Haha
