Some of these moves/items are for fillers. I want to keep most of this, and I want to keep the pokemon. But I will take any (and all) criticism into account.

Thanks! (my team below)

 

[cdawg3574]

well, no EV's or anything so i'm limited in wat i can tell you, but: yanmega is not made to take hits. why rest? blissey is actually destroyed by anything without a fire/psychic weak, such as gyara and gars, gallade is playing the sweeper role, which he is outclassed at, y not tbolt instead on togekiss, most people don't bother with avoidance hax, swampert should be a special attacker, it does its job better that way and is less predictable and shell bell is a god-awful item as is razor fang. also, why scope lens on gallade w/ 100% accuracy moves? this is flame bait, alot of other people would eat this alive, but i won't. think ur team thru a lil better next time

 

[StuePidd]

Sorry for having a "horrible team" (I don't mean this sarcastically, It's just how I feel).

Just a reminder... Scope lens boosts the Crit. hit ratio of moves. That means that Psychocut, Leafblade, and Nightslash get crit. hits 50% of the time!

Thanks for the other advise... I'll conside it. By the way, in responding to your signature... I'm a Dragonite! Pwnage!

 

[Rudol Ichiga]

They dont get a 50% chance of a crit hit, it boost it to 25% dude.. -.-
Well you have no Evs nor Natures so this is going to be hard..
Why do you have Psychic and Flamethrower on Blissey:O Garchomp can set up on you with ease or any Dragon..
Gallade should have Hypnosis and Will o wisp...
Thats it, your team is awful, Ill let other people rate the rest of your team cause Im in a hurry:|

 

[John Light]

My advice would be to EV train

 

[aipomkong]

Yanmega w/ Chesto Berry
Tinted Lens

Rest
Bug Buzz
Air Slash
Ancient Power

- Can't take a hit at all, Rest is pointless
- Wasting a moveslot/item with Rest/Chesto is wasting it's potential as a sweeper
- Ancient Power is trash.
- Hypnosis / Protect are better then Rest / AP. Protect to abuse Speed Boost btw.

Blissey w/ Leftovers
Natural Cure

Softboiled
Charm
Psychic
Flamethrower

- Needs Seismic Toss or it loses to pokemon who can use Calm Mind and have a recovery move, or CM Raikou
- Psychic is dumb, if you are even thinking about leaving it in on fighters you deserve to lose. They OHKO you, Psychic at best 2hkos them.
- Charm is meh as you shouldnt really be leaving it in against 90% of phsycial threats
- S-Toss > Psychic
- Thunder wave or Toxic > Charm
- Ice Beam is better then Flames, but Flames can work sometimes.

Gallade w/ Scope Lens
Steadfast

Leafblade
Psychocut
Close Combat
Night Slash

- Leaf Blade is poor, it doesn't offer anything special that Close Combat / Psy Cut can't do.
- Night Slash is poor. You shouldnt stay in on ghosts as they can all pretty much destroy you, Gengar with hypnosis, Dusknoir with will-o-wisp, etc.
- Wish/Thunder Wave/Will-o-Wisp/Hypnosis. Choose two and stick them over Leafblade and night Slash

Togekiss w/ Expert Belt
Serene Grace

Aura Sphere
Shockwave
Air Slash
Roost

- Shock Wave is just useless.
- Thunder Wave over Shock Wave as Wave is actually useful

Swampert w/ Razor Fang
Torrent

Waterfall
Earthquake
Avalance
Hammer Arm

- Hammer Arm is awful
- Waterfall and Avalanche get you walled by Skarm/Weezing
- Surf/Ice Beam/Stealth Rock over waterfall/avalanche/hammer arm
- use leftovers

Electivire w/ Shell Bell
Motor Drive

Cross chop
Ice Punch
Thunderpunch
Giga Impact

- Giga Impact is terrible.
- Shell Bell is terrible
- life orb > shell bell, earthquake > giga impact

THEY START OUT AT 30%! HOW CAN THE ITEM "BOOST" IT TO 25%!?! Sorry. I just think that was really stupid. Besides, the Item boosts the crit. hit ratio by 20%. So if it is a normal crit. hit move, it becomes 30%. If it is a high crit. hit move, it becomes 50%. That's what I call Awesome!

Someone who asks for an English Darkrai in their Sig is just plain retarted. Sorry, I don't really mean it... I'm just reading your life story.

Nooblet, Thanks for the advise. It's a little too much for me to handle, because I'm a bit too far into my team already. I am looking at the Yanmega stuff, though. I was a bit unsure about him... but I likes his trait: tinted lens. It turns not-very effective moves into super effective move! I think that's pretty good. I'm probably also going to put Electivire futher up in my line up. Then, I can exchange Shell bell for Life orb. Thanks! I'm still keeping Hammer Arm. I actually have a strategy with that. While it seems like lowering my speed would be bad, it is actually good for me. Avalanche is stronger (120 pow.) if I go last. With Hammer Arm, I can ensure I go last because it halves your speed each time you use it! I think that's actually a good idea. Plus, I prefer Avalance on Swampert because it's physical. Just look at his stas in the Pokedex. You'll see why I prefer it. Thanks again!

 

[Rudol Ichiga]

You dont have any idea do you? :|
Mixed Swampert is great so you can not be walled by Skarmory and the physical walls and you can still score a good hit on Blissey..
You sure are what your name says..

6.25%
12.5%
25%
37.5%
50%

The five levels of crit chances.

Move like Night Slash (12.5%) + Scope lens = 25% crit chance.

with ice beam it can cover more types like dragons on the switch it is just better, with s-toss you can do damage to special walls that wall blissey and aroma therapy can take your teams status away whitch is helpful

no idea but i know special versions are better since it can surprise others thinking it attacks physically and a 95 base stat isnt bad for a wall

with thunderbolt your can hurt skarmory which wthout it is pretty tough to take down even if super effective since it is a DEFENSIVE wall

changes in bold i tried to help im not sure on a few things.you might think your movesets are the best way to go but its just not ganna work.yanmega cant take hits and a speed boost helps it dish out damage, even if normal attacks hit more with tinted lens what is the point if you will be outsped plus yanmega's speed boost is what makes it great.

if raters give you advice you should take most f it i mean you are asking us to give you advice if you wont take the advice then why bother posting -_-

 

[canyoubeatme111]

needs lots of help

 

[StuePidd]

I looked this up befor I made my team. The first level of crit hit ratio is 10%. It goes as follows:

10% normal
30% high crit hit/item boost/superluck
50% high crit hit with item boost/high crit hit with super luck/item boost with super luck
70% high crit hit with super luck with item boost

I saw this on a number of websites, but these stats were from 3rd. gen (super luck data was added on afterwards). If the data changed, it is quite possible that this info. is wrong. However, just from the battles my Gallade has been in, it seems like 50% is the real number. Thanks for your concerns!

Thanks for the advise about items, I don't think I can use them. I love leftovers... and I have two, so I could use your suggestions, but I won't be able to do it because of the Item clause. I am using this team for Battle tower, and I cannot have two of the same item on a team. There are a few things that turned me off... I don't like the idea of special swampert. Because I am using this team in Battle Tower, so I don't need to try and "surprize attack" the opponent. Also, I'm not too worried about skarmory. Even though he is a danger to any physical team, I plan to use Blissey's flame thrower on that. Then, If Blissey is gone, I'll just hack away with ElecTvir. I feel like I've thought of everything, but now that I have other people rating my team... I realize I didn't. Thanks for the help. I'm going to train my team now. I won't stop till they are all lvl. 50+!

 

[bluedolphin359]

- life orb > shell bell

ya, and expert belt > life orb on Electivire

 

[Rudol Ichiga]

Dude, the chance of a crit hit cannot pass 50% dumbass -.-
You get the max, 50% by using Super Luck/Zoom Lens/Move with high critical chance..
So please shut up if you dont know what you are talking about..
You come here as a noob without Ev training and who puts Rest in a pokemon with less than 50 base Defenses.. And you call me the retard.. Cmon.
And about the Darkrai, what if a want a hacked one.. do you have a problem?

lol, and when skarm uses Brave Bird because it is faster, you'll be crying.......

Ignore what he said about yanmega, ancientpower can gun down more of yanmegas weaknesses than HP ice does (ancientpower takes out 3, hp ice ko's 1, even though ancientpower has lame power it stops gyarados getting in your way), but you may want to rebreed for speed boost because that makes yanmega deadly, and it can help you deal with bulkygyara better.

A good moveset is..

Yanmega@Focus sash
Timid
Speed boost

Bug buzz/hp ice (if you have trouble gunning down dragons get HP ice)
Ancientpower
Air slash
Protect/hypnosis.

 

[StuePidd]

Thanks. This is definitely the advise I need. It also helps that my Yanma is still low level. I'll just re-breed. Thanks... but I'm not quite sure about something. Doesn't Ancient power get blocked form move tutor because it is an evolve-move? That happened to me when I tried to get Lickylicky. How can I get hypnosis, and then evolove Yanma?
