[QUOTE="DoubleRainb0w"]Is this a good team for just battling with friends, not that competitive tho. But he's pretty good and we're tied 3-3 coz i fail xD yea my last team didn't work so well o-o Salamence, Choice Band(switch out right at the start of the battle), Adamant, Ev trained for max att and spd Outrage, Fire Fang, Earthquake, and Roost Vaporeon, Leftovers (switch in to mence if he uses ice beam, if not probly steelix or skarm), Bold, Ev trained for hp and def Wish, Protect, Surf, Ice Beam Scizor, Life Orb, Adamant, Ev trained for max att and hp Swords Dance, Roost, Bullet Punch, X-Scissor Venusaur, idk what item to use o-o, Timid, Ev trained for sp. att and spd Leaf Storm, Sleep Powder, Synthesis, Need help on fourth move, thinking about Sludge Bomb or poison powder Skarmory, Leftovers, Impish, Ev trained for def and hp Spikes, Brave Bird, Roost, Need help on fourth move, alrdy covered stealth rock with steelix Steelix, Leftovers, Sassy, Ev trained for sp. def and hp Stealth Rock, Earthquake, Stone Edge, Need help again xDIcare0

You already have a Physical wall in Skarmory, which has self-heal, therefore Steelix really isn't needed. I would use a Heatran in its place, which would help with your Fire weakness. It also attract earthquakes, which means more chances to skarmory to lay down Spikes/Stealth Rock, and more chances for Mence to Outrage away. Give Skarmory SRock, and use a Sub Heatran, to ease prediction:

SubHea: Timid / Naive, 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe

~ Fire Blast
~ Earth Power
~ Substitute
~ Toxic / Explosion

@leftovers

Use Naive if you go for explosion. Switch on the fire attack, sub on the switch, and fire away until the sub is broken.

Spec Heatran could also work.

SpecHea: Modest, 40 HP / 252 SpA / 216 Spe

~ Fire Blast / Overheat
~ Earth Power
~ Hidden Power Grass
~ Dragon Pulse / Flamethrower

@Choice Specs

A Flash Fire boosted Spec Overheat / Fire Blast coming off Heatran's base 130 SpAtk deals reediculous damage, even to something that resist it. Fire blast 2HKO standard Blissey, Gyarados and Dragonite, Heatran's common switch-ins after SRock damage. Fire blast does more damage over two turns, but Overheat deals much more damage on the first. If you use Overheat, use Flamethrower on the last slot to sweep late-game.

I'm also against SD Scizor without fighting moves. Steel/Bug gives you terrible coverage and make you easily walled by any bulky steel pokemon. Superpower / Brick Break over X-Scissor.

Sludge Bomb on Venusaur isn't bad per-se, but makes it stel types set-up bait too. If possible, use Hp Ground. If not possible, Roserade can fit the same purpose without changing much. Timid, 4Hp 252 Spe, 252 SpAtk, S.Powder/Toxic Spikes/Leafstorm/ Hp (ice/fire) @Focus Sash makes a great Toxic Spikes Lead, and Timid, 4Hp 252 Spe, 252 SpAtk S.Powder/Sludge Bomb/Leafstorm/ Hp (ice/ground) @Choice Scarf is a wonderful scarfer.

Great idea...just one problem tho, I started EV training late after I finished the game and caught most legendaries w/o using synchronize so I don't have the right natues D: Any other suggestions, but not legendaries? xD Roserade is good, but I don't really like using HP since it's power and type is hard to determine and I probly won't spend that much time looking for a perfect pokemon with the right HP xD

Neither.

Adamant, Technician, EV:4HP / 252 ATK / 252 SPE

@Choice Band

Bullet Punch

U-turn

Superpower

Pursuit

This is the most used set in the entire 4th generation metagame for a reason. After you use it, you won't want other scizor for a looooong time.

Edit: Wait, you don't play platinum? And want a scizor? How the hell you will get Bullet Punch?

Icare0
I have platinum o-o I said I was playing Platinum so I couldnt get Bug Bite, I thought it was a 5th gen move but by judging on ur reaction i guess it isnt xD i was unclear on that. And im thinking of him as a sweeper even tho it has a 4x weakness to fire since 3 SDs or less and a bullet punch should be able to OHKO most fire pokemon if not all.

I need help on my moveset for scizor :\ I just can't decide between these two. It's EV trained for Att and HP if it helps o: And it's ability is technician -Roost OR Substitute -Swords Dance -X-Scissor (Bug bite wud be nice since it's base power will go to 90 after techinician, but unfortunately I'm playing Platinum so no Bug bite here D: ) OR Brick Break -Bullet Punch So yeah I need help on whether I shud use Roost or Substitute, and X-Scissor or Brick Break :\ Superpower sounds nice, but I just used up my 6 red shards for my salamence and have no more :\ Underground takes too long xD

I Ev trained a Starmie a long time ago, way before I discovered Smogon and Serebii, and I just figured out that Timid natures were more reliable than Mild natures are. Will it really matter because I don't wanna go through the breeding again since I've been doing that over and over xD I checked my Staryus that I bred before, but non were timid or modest :\ Current stats at level 93: 233 Hp 144 Att 157 Def 283 Sp. Attack 163 Sp. Def 305 Spd Moveset=Surf (planning to change to hydro pump), Ice Beam, Psychic, Thunderbolt (changing to recover) Does breeding again for a Timid nature be worth the time plus all the leveling by using Elite Four?

Uhm is this a good team for a competitive trainer? Also any advice on where to train? Elite Four is easy but it's boring. Lvl 83 Salamence, Adamant, full Evs in Att and Speed, Item=Leftovers (Just in case roost doesnt heal enough) Or maybe Power band and just make it switch out first turn. 323 Att, 150 Def, 173 Spe. Att, 151 Spe. Def, 234 Spd. Moveset= Fire Fang, Outrage, EQ, and Roost Lvl 54 Garhcomp, Adamant, Full Att+Spd Evs Item=Idk yet, probly leftovers again so substitute can be healed 196, 108, 81, 103, 163 Moveset= Substitute, Swords Dance, EQ, Dragon Claw Lvl 37 Gliscor, Adamant, 252 Att, 40 Hp, 216 Spd Evs, Item=Lifeorb 114, 106, 37, 71, 95 Moveset= Swords Dance, EQ, Stone Edge, Roost Lvl 100 Gengar, Mild, Idk about evs, got it from a trade...Item=Dont know yet, choice specs is on the list for now tho. 161, 136, 393, 182, 314 For the last two I'm thinking of Skarmory with Stealthrock, Spikes, Roost, and Whirlwind and A Heracross with Sub, Swords Dance, Megahorn, and Close Combat. And yea i know four of these pokemon are 4x weak, 3 of them being 4x weak to ice, but at least roost kinda gets rid of that. If this team sucks does anyone have recommendations? And yes, I'm still training so they're weak xD
