Can Someone Rate My Emerald Team

Overheat Hothead

Custom User Title
I just beat the Elite Four in Emerald and I got some Battle Points and a Silver Luck Symblom (ironicly by luck!). But my team REALY sucked so I am totaly rebuilding it so this is what I am planning on. So this is NOT what it is currently but what I want it to be. Here it is!

EV: (124 ATK) (252 DEF) (134 HP)

Blaziken- Naive/Naughty Nature and Swords dance over thunderpunch

Gardevior- Fire Punch over ice punch.

Metagross- Rock Slide over Sludge Bomb and Explosion over BB/SB.

Heracross- Guts and Swords dance over bulk up.

Starmie- Timid and Recover>Psychic.

Aggron- Substitute/Focus Punch/Rock Slide/Thunder wave{Earthquake}

Shuckle- Ditch.

252/252/6 spreads you wanna mostly stay away from them unless they are something like a cber or a fragile sweeper.

Starmie Replacement

Thanx for the advise, but on this team I was trying to use my favorites and I have no idea why I have Starmie on there. I dont really like it but I like Pikachu a lot would this be a acceptable replacement

Pikachu_Special Sweeper
Timid Nature @Lightball
Ability: Static
EV: (252 SA) (6 DEF) (252 SPD)
-Volt Tackle
-Thunderwave
-Attract
-Toxic

I really like Pikachu and I hate Raichu and I dont want to evolve it, but if it is REALLY nesisary (<--- I dont think that spellled right) I will evolve it. I also really like Volt Tackle but I will seddle for Thunderbolt.

Tazzle I didnt really understand what you ment i should or shouldn't use the 252/252/6 EV spread???

Thanks


Fred ;255;

-EDIT- What about White Herb on Blaziken -EDIT-

Pikachu really isn't very good at all, even with the Light Ball, but nothing would stop me using Tyrogue!!

Pikachu_Special Sweeper
Timid Nature @Lightball
Ability: Static
EV: (252 SA) (6 DEF) (252 SPD)
-Volt Tackle
-Thunderwave
-Attract/HP Special/Substitute
-Toxic... Toxic+T-Wave=lol, try Encore
Try that

Also, tazzler means that 252 Splits are not the best of Ev Spreads you can get. They don't work on all Pokemon.

The White Herb you will only ever see on Deoxys.
Since that Blaziken is purely Physical, Overheat need only be used once before a switch.

-Thunderbolt
-Icepunch/Wil-O-Wisp

This moveset is fine. I'd prefer Ice Punch over Wil-O-Wisp.

Metagross_Physical Sweeper
Adamant Nature @Choice Band/Leftovers
Ability: Clearbody
EV: (252 ATK) (252 SPD) (6 HP)
-Meteor Mash
-Earthquake
-Sludge Bomb
-Brick Break/Shadow Ball

I would go with Shadow Ball over Brick Break.

Heracross_Physical Sweeper
Adamant Nature @Leftovers
Ability: Swarm
EV: (252 ATK) (252 SPD) (6 HP)
-Rockslide
-Megahorn
-Brickbreak
-Swords Dance

I'd suggest Swords Dance over Bulk Up, but that move is fine too. It just doesn't increase Attack power quick enough, in my opinion.

Starmie_Special Sweeper
Modest Nature @Leftovers
Ability: Natural Cure
EV: (252 SA) (252 SPD) (6 HP)
-Surf
-Ice Beam
-Thunderbolt
-Psychic

The moveset is fine.

Shuckle_Mixed Tank
Impish Nature @Leftovers
Ability: Sturdy
EV: (134 ATK) (124 DEF) (124 SD) (134 HP)
-Dig
-Rest
-Toxic
-Wrap

Thanx

For your last pokemon, I'd suggest Aggron, shove in Earthquake somewhere on there.

Skarmory is the Physical Wall.
And Skarmory removes the major EQ weakness. As far as Pikachu goes; it can't do much without Hidden Power and surf, but...
-TB
-Sub
-Encore/T-Wave
-Surf/HP-Ice/HP Grass/whatever you didn't take above/Physical move

Timid 252 speed/252 Sp.A/4 whatever
