Hey guys! Pokemon Question...
My friend traded me a flawless male solar power timid charmander and I was thinking of this for it.
252 Sp. Atk, 252 Spd, 4 def/hp (haven't decided)
Choice Scarf
Sun Team
Overheat
Flamethrower
Solar Beam
Air Slash
I want him to basically be a revenge killer and in the sun with Solar Power and STAB...overheat will toast anything that isn't immune or resist it.
Flamethrower is there in case I can't afford to miss
Solar Beam for raw power and hitting water/rock/ground
Air Slash for additional STAB and things that resist fire/grass
What do you guys think?
stealth rock is its only downfall
other than that, its fine![]()

pretty good
Thanks!
Basically HO teams run on speed and power correct?
So boosting movies and life orbs, or choice items are basically my best bets right?
Weather is also very powerful right?yeah pretty good idea, life orb lets you switch moves but doubles the damage of solar power at the end of each turn,
choice specs have more power and less HP damage, but you usually have to switch if something that resists the move you're locked into comes in, scarf sings a similar song but boosts speed instead of Sp.att
Weather is also very powerful right?
depends, weather can be offensive OR defensive, depends on pokemon, moves, abilities,etc.
I love ice...so Hail? Water is great, but drizzle + swift swim ban and I heard something about them testing rain as too powerful...
Sun is great, but I'm not a fan of most grass types. Too many weaknesses.
Sand works...cause <3 steel and doesn't it give some type of boost too?
rock type's Sp.def boosts in sandstorm. and most sandstorm steels are defensive(not good for HO) but yeah, sandstorm or hail should do.(we DO need more hail players, but that's my opinion.)
Hail would be fun, but didn't snow cloak (the evasion ability) get banned? So did the sand one? Gotta research ice types and abilities.
Also GRAVITY! I'm highly interested in this. Possibly trick room as well.
the evasion abilities DID get banned from Smogon rules (which we use.) :/
also gravity just makes killing Brongzong and Skarmory easier really. :/
but trick room is good and you should try it (we need more trick room players as well, but again, MY opinion)
Would Trick Room Hail work?
