Baby Pokemon team

[ouchies]

These Pokemon took so much hard work to breed and train! These are some of my favourite Pokemon. I wanted to use all-Unova Pokemon just to keep the 'Starting spirit' of the game. All these pokemon are level 30. If you can, try to give me advice without advising me to replace or re-breed my Pokemon. If necessary, any of them can be replaced.

Thank you Rocky for advising me to use this Litwick over my Minccino, I just bred it and it's good.

You should try and get Rock Blast and Bullet Seed on Minccino to take advantage of Technician. Not sure if egg moves or not, probably are.

Everything else looks fine, this is in game, you'll do just fine. Not sure about Snivy in the last slot. I'd probably run Bold, using Leech Seed and Tosic to wear down Pokemon. It can't scratch Grass Types though.

 

[terrytorterra]

bullet seed and rock blast are not egg moves for minccino unfortunately, though not a surprise.

why do you choose drilbur without a sandstorm to help it?
i think tirtouga could be a nice replacement here, with shell smash and aqua jet,
plus you dont seem to have many that are sturdy pokemons there.

 

[Vandslaux]

Oh, how Zorua + Timburr is going to RAPE Caitlin. That is, if you're using these for an ingame team.

Anyways, yeah, Bullet Seed + Rock Blast > Encore and U-turn.

Minccino cannot learn either of those only cinccino can.

But I think you should put Payback over Dig on Timburr.

 

[gyaradosuseddragonrage!]

I agree. Dig doesn't provide significant coverage with fighting moves on it.

 

[ouchies]

Thanks for the suggestions everyone.

Like Rocky said, I can't get Rock Blast and Bullet Seed. I'll give Timburr Payback. I was actually planning to change it, I just kept forgetting.

I chose Drilbur without sandstorm primarily because it's a cool Pokemon and it still destroys things without sandstorm.

plus you dont seem to have many that are sturdy pokemons there.

Scraggy and Timburr with Eviolite could probably surprise you. Maybe I'll try out Tirtouga at some point, but I have a long list of babies waiting to be bred.

 

[Zekromaster826]

I say replace Minccino with Axew

 

[ouchies]

Any particular reason?

 

[rocky505]

I wouldn't replace it with Axew. Axew doesn't get as many good moves as Haxorus does. I would get another special attacker to even out your team with 3 physical and 3 special. Litwick would be good.

Litwick
Modest
-Shadow Ball
-Flamethrower/Fire Blast
-Energy Ball
-Psychic

 

[floatzel98]

yeah, Litwick also helps with the fighting weakness.

 

[ouchies]

How about Choice Specs Joltik? Joltik also helps with the fighting weakness and maintains the 'U-turn or Volt-Switch' in the lead spot.

Also, if I were to use Litwick, would Will-O-Wisp be good in the place of Energy Ball to take care of strong physical attackers?

 

[leoellis]

That sounds very Fun and Skitty is right! I have seen a bunch of Videos on Youtube that shows worthless pokemon like Magikarp beat powerful pokemon like Dragonite and Milotic through the use of the Smeargle strategy.

I know he is banned but what did this post have to do with anything in this thread? I always wanted to make an in game team of baby Pokemon but using actual baby Pokemon like Elekid and Magby but never got around to it. How do you plan to fly around Unova when needed? If you need a water type to add, try Ducklett since it can learn water moves and Fly. Yea it has a 4x electric weakness but usually 4x weaknesses can be worked around. Rufflet and Vullaby could be good Fly options as well.

 

[ouchies]

^ The general idea was to use these six for fighting. When not battling I can pretty much substitute any Hm user in to any space.

 

[Aura Sensei™]

Dragon Dance>Bulk Up on Scraggy,since it's obviously a sweeper.

 

[ouchies]

^ Not to be ungrateful for the rate but that really isn't very useful. Scraggy isn't OBVIOUSLY a sweeper, that's just what most people want him to be. If I breed a Scraggy that has low speed Ivs, invests in bulk, has Shed Skin and has the moves: Rest and Bulk Up... It's not really an obvious sweeper. A More sensible thing to say would be to change it to a Dragon Dance sweeper set. But why?

Again, sorry if I seem ungrateful, but that just doesn't make sense to me.

 

[floatzel98]

yeah, bulk up scraggy is just as viable as a dragon dance one. and with eviolite it's defense's become even stronger.

 

[Aura Sensei™]

Well if you get the right Ivs,then use HP Fighting>Psychic.

 

[ouchies]

Even though that Litwick took me ages, that's probably a good idea for good coverage. Oh well, back to route 3.
