2+2 = 4 :eek: With the onslaught of JAA I wouldn't be surprised if this was for a tournament.

Now on topic: 1st things 1st, your foremat is horrible. Capitlise things when eccesery and either use a "- " or "~ " before posting a move or adding an extra line separating the moves from the Items/Pokemon/Nature details. Also, EVs are very much appreciated in CRMT. If this is for 2v2 state it, with the JAA coming up I wouldn't be half surprised and the dynamics between 2v2 and 1v1 play are drastically different. I'll refrain from 'rating' until you can inform us of:

- Mode of play (1v1 or 2v2)
- What it's for (tournament, "friends" or if you psoted in the wrong forum thinking Battle Tower = Competitive)
- EVs, if possible.

lollerbeam groudon =/

rock slide / earthquake / fire blast / swords dance

just because it gets endless sun and solarbeam, it doesn't make it's special attack suddenly good enough to even consider using lollerbeam

Thunderdancing and sunnybeaming suck

Also, Lugia isn´t meant to sweep so giving it modest nature is retarded

you can make any pokemon a sweeper if you do the right things and Thunderdancing and sunnybeaming dont suck

yes they do suck

www.smogon.com/advance/articles

seriously read these, they EXPLAIN the current ou metagame, which you clearly show no understanding of, these articles will help you understand what works effectivly

Oh, right. Skarmory can 6-0 a team if you give it agility/drill peck/rock slide and HP ground + and adamant nature
/sarcasm

shiron said:

Yes, they do

Thunderdancing is pointless when thunderbolts will always do more damage, and most sunnybeamers are just lol, and can usually use HP grass better than solarbeam

thunderbolt doesnt do much damage and when you use thunderdance thunder never misses and that would be really good against annoyers and when you use sunnybeam you can use solarbeam without a 2nd turn and hp grass it would only go up to 100power. I figured it was sarcasm before i saw the wordwhat i meant was that if you train them in the right way they can be very powerful sweepers so next time get your facts straight and actually try something before judging someones team

Here comes the magic of maths:

Theory A, using Thunderbolt.

Turn 1: Thunderbolt (95 Total Damage)
Turn 2: Thunderbolt (190 Total Damage)
Turn 3: Thunderbolt (285 Total Damage)
Turn 4: Thunderbolt (380 Total Damage)
Turn 5: Thunderbolt (475 Total Damage)

Theory B, using Thunder.

Turn 1: Rain Dance (0 Total Damage)
Turn 2: Thunder (120 Total Damage)
Turn 3: Thunder (240 Total Damage)
Turn 4: Thunder (360 Total Damage)
Turn 5: Thunder (480 Total Damage)

So, in the five turns that Rain Dance was up, by using Thunder AND a second moveslot for Rain Dance, you get a grand profit of FIVE damage, and this is discounting the quite clearly obvious fact that it'd never be profitable to chain 5 Thunderbolts or 4 Thunders anyway unless you were battling a vegatable who'd never heard of special walls.

Fortunately for Solarbeam, the outlook isn't quite so bleak:

Theory 1, HP Grass

Turn 1: HP Grass (70 Total Damage)
Turn 2: HP Grass (140 Total Damage)
Turn 3: HP Grass (210 Total Damage)

Theory 2, SunnyBeam

Turn 1: Sunny Day (0 Total Damage)
Turn 2: Solarbeam (120 Total Damage)
Turn 3: Solarbeam (240 Total Damage)

It only takes SunnyBeam 3 turns to overtake HP Grass in the damage charts, a much more positive outlook for the world of SunnyBeamers. So why is it that SunnyBeamers suck so much? Well, firstly, if you don't have a Pokemon with Chlorophil you really are just wasting a space using Sunny Day when msot times you have something better to put in that moveslot, and if you don't, chances are the Pokemon sucks anyway. Secondly, the magic of special walls and things resisting Grass typed moves make the magic of blowing a turn on Sunny Day pointless, since you have just infact wasted a turn with Sunny Day if you aren't going to use Solarbeam. And finally, getting your a*s owned by a TTar switch in, or in the case of the Uber Metagame, a Kyogre switch in, blows.

Qed.

Sure, anything can sweep. That's why Raticate owns every team out there. You don't know anything about the present Metagame, don't try to act like you do. It's what gets people accused of being a gimmick. There's a NU, UU, OU and Uber Metagame for a reason, it's because some pokes are more powerful than others. This isn't the anime, Pikachu can't kil la Rhydon with Thundebrolt and a trainer's "Heart and Soul" has as much effect on the outcome of a battle as Britney Spear's affairs does on the Iran Nuclear Programme.

Now in your case, you seem to think Lugia is much more profitable to a team as a sweeper than a wall. Take a look at it's stats and compare it to the other Uber sweepers and then take a step back and ask yourself: "If he really needed a sweeper, wouldn't it be more profitable for him to invest in a Mewtwo than a Lugia". Lugia is a tank, deal with it.

thats not what i ment i ment that if you give it the right nature and train its ev stats the right way anything can make a fine sweeper not saying the best just good enough to be a sweeper oh and if the oppisite raindancer/sunnybeamer comes out thats what switching is for

ok lets try certain types of pokemon that dont have the worst attack and sp atk. Pokemon who are good enough to be called tanks but are capable of being trained to be sweepers like lugia

As opposed to, on the turn they switch in, doing something useful. rather than wasting a turn Sunny Daying with Ho-Oh do a TBolt, rather than rain Dance slap groudon silly with an Ice Beam.

Yes, but it's wasting the Pokemon. Blissey could "sweep" but it'd be wasting what it's capable of, in the same way you do the same with Lugia. At the end of the day, if you ran up to an OU team and posted: "hai, use Flamethrower/Ice Beam/Thunderbolt/Calm Mind on Blissey" you'd be lol'd at, similar to how you are now. That Blissey could do 'something' with that set, but it doesn't make it good or worthy of using over the standard, by the same context hydro pump/psychic/raindance/thunder on Lugia could do 'something' (although of all the sweeper sets to choose for lugia that's one of the worst, Calm Mind+TBolt would own the crap out of Rain Dance+Thunder) but it doesn't make it better or more sensible than the Tank Lugia.
