I’m planning out my adventure team for HGSS for when it comes out in the US. I love the Pokemon walking behind you, so instead of using a crack-of-the-whip team of OUs, I’m going to use some favorites and need help determining movesets. Don’t ask me to evolve anyone or trade member out; this team resembles mine from the original Silver.
Quilava@Leftovers
Any nature that promotes Speed
- Flamethrower
- Will-o-wisp
- Protect
- Attract
His (or her) goal on the team is to lessen the strength of physical attackers and provide decent support. I refuse to evolve him, so does anyone have recommendations for this set? Too bad Typhlosion learns all of the good moves (ThunderPunch, ShadowClaw, Focus Blast).
Steelix@Leftovers
Sassy/Careful
- Earthquake
- Stone Edge
- Explosion
- Toxic
My physical wall and a powerhouse member. His main goal is to cover the team’s weaknesses. He goes hand and hand with Quilava because they both revolve around stalling, but Steelix is more Offensively and Sturdily so.
Heracross@Muscle Band
Adamant/Jolly, preferred, but I’ll have to head butt to get him.
- Megahorn
- Stone Edge
- Close Combat
- Swords Dance
My team attacker who pretty much comes out when the others leave it an opening. Nothing much to say… oh, I’ll probably use Muscle Band over life Orb b/c the HP toll is a little high in an adventure setting.
Pikachu@Light Ball
Naïve/Timid/Hasty
- Surf/Fly
- Thunderbolt
- Grass Knot/Brick Break
- Substitute/Thunder Wave
I know what you’re thinking… Pikachu… really… Well, I want more of a challenge, so I’m not making a “tournament ready” team. Moving on, I’ll try to use the Pokewalker to get either a Flying or Surfing Pikachu (If you have one that’s my desired natures, PM me with offers, please. I have shinies of almost every hatchable Pokemon to offer=)) and adjust the moveset accordingly. Since I already have a large amount of physical attackers (more to come), I’m leaning more toward the Special Attacks. I’m also debating the third status inducer on the team or the Substitute.
Azumarril@Chice Band
Adamant
- Aqua Jet
- Ice Punch
- Return
- Superpower
Another physical titan on the team. Also, the only member I intend on trading in from DPPt. When in HGSS can you connect with DPPt?
Crobat@Choice Specs
Modest
- Air Slash
- Heat Wave
- Shadow Ball
- Toxic
