What do you think? (my pokemon team)

my name is wolfy and i currently playing pokemon platinum. im owrking on my team setup and wanted your opinions. this is my team:

Typhlosion 62

Tyranitar 55

Metang 38

Blastoise 38

Dragonnite 55

Haunter/Gengar 59 (might evolve him into gengar)

i know i have to work on metang and blastoise... but what do you think of the set up? any syggestions?

movesets, ev spread, natures, all MISSING!!! Where have they gone!?

AB448

Low levels much?

Well, other than that it's a decent team; but you should tell us the movesets.

You should deffinately evolve your Haunter. Although Hauntar is cooler than Gengar, Gengar has better stats. If you need, I'll trade it with you to evolve it. Pm me if you want to.

opps i forgot the moves lol ^^; ok lets seee...

Typhosion62: eruption,Lava Plume,Flamthrower,Frie Blast (moves r very effective but the PP thing sorta sucks :/)

Dragonite55: Surf,Wing Attack,Dragon Rush,Thunder

Blastoise38: Rapid Shot, Water gun (haha idk y i still have that in there) , Water Pulse, Aqua Tail

Metang38: Take Down,Psychic,Persuit,Bullet Punch

Ttranitar55: Dark Pulse, Thunder, Stone edge, Crunch

Gengar59: (evolved after all :/) Destiny Bond, Night shade, Dark Pulse, Mean look (only had mean look for the legendaries so they wouldnt get away)

Where did you get a blastoise? :) You dont use any of the 3 starting pokemons?SoAmazingBaby

I got Blastoise from Firered XD I have a Infernape 64 (mach punch, Flare blitz, Ember, Flame Wheel) but i like Typhlosion better XD

Ok, here's some constructive criticism.

The Blastoise has too many water moves, and the one's he has, aren't very strong. I would teach him Brine, Hydro Pump, Earthquake(good for killing the electric), and Outrage(good against dragons that Blastiose has no deffense against. Can be taught at the move tutor).

I also think it's not necessary to teach your Gengar that many dark type moves(I think he had 2). Your Tyranitar already covers that, so I would teach my Gengar more poisons, since he is type poison. My move set would be Nightmare, Dream Eater, Hypnosis, and Sludge Bomb.

Also, sorry if this is bad advice. It's the best I have.Some people think about things that I don't when it comes to competitive battling.

lol i know he has to much water moves XD but he still young :P i never thought of those moves b4 though ty for advice :D (im still new to pokemon sorta XD lol)

I still need EV spreads and natures.

Typhlosion: Too many STAB moves.

Dragonite: T-Bolt beats thunder, Wing Attack is weak sauce, and Dragon Rush is outclassed by Dragon Claw due to reliablitlity.

Blastoise: Too much STAB, junk moves.

Metang: Evolve, remove Psychic, Take Down sucks, and it doesn't make that great use of pursuit.

T-tar: Thunder sucks in sand, too many identical STAB moves.

Gengar: The only move that could work is Dbond.

Please make a competitive team to be rated rather than giving me your in-game team. I'm tired of people asking for a team to be rated when it has all these signs that it's obviously for in-game play.

hey im still a newb cut me some slack XD lmao whats STAB (thinks of the movie sceam) and EV? well this team i want to be for wifi. guess i have a lot of work to do..... oh well better start :)

STAB is the bonus power a move gets when it's the same type as the Pokemon. EV is extra stat points that you can direct towards certain stats(this is a really basic explanation. To me, It's kind of complicated how it works). Your team does need some help, but it's not as bad as Hegan says. You'll figure out what you need eventually, it takes time. If you need anymore help on your Pokemon, you can ask me.

One thing I saw wrong with whatHegna said(no offense Hegna, I think for the most part you are right), is the Psychic on Metang, and Thunderbolt on Tyranitar. Psychic is a very powerful psychic type move, and it has a 100 accuracy, and it can possibly lower the Sp. Deffense. And the Thunderbolt works great for protecting T-tar against water.

Psychic fails on Metang because it uses its horrible special attack (base 95 special attack is junk compared to the base 135 physical attack it has). T-bolt could work, THUNDER (which he had before) can't. Thunder is low accuracy, and sucks without rain. Tyranitar also has pretty low special attack in comparison to its physical attack. Thus a physical attack could probably work better than T-bolt.Hegna1

Agreed. But there isn't many(if any) psychic type attacks that aren't Sp. Attack, and A Metagross needs a psychic attack. I didn't notice the the Thunder thing, I thought it was T-bolt. Maybe instead you should teach it Thunder Fang, or Thunder Punch(not suure if it can either), because it has better plain Attack.

i see what u guys r talking about now... ok well the pokemon i have r tainted by unwanted stuff so imma just have to breed more and start over from beggining. thanks for all the help guys! :)

set for metagross: zen headbutt, , meteor mash, explosion, thunder punch.

listen. NO ONE CAN RATE YOUR TEAM IF U DON'T SHOW NATURES, AND EVS SPREADS!

You need to learn about competitive battling. IVs, natures, EVs, STABs, Tiers, etc... Smogon is the place to go. Here is a great link to get you introduced:

Good luck. The Ev/Iv is confusing at first, but once you get all this stuff, you can tell us.
