Current BF Team

[wiiman]

This team was made to accomodate the weakenesses of my beloved DD Tyranitar. I'm not sure exactly what to do, as I just got back into pokemon recently, but here's what I'm thinking of now. All of this is subject to change if you give me reason to do so. These movesets were basically copied off of the PotW section. Please help me:

;248;
Tyranitar @leftovers
Jolly nature
EVs: 6 HP, 252 Attack, 252 Speed
-Dragon Dance
-Earthquake
-Rockslide
-Rest

;350;
Milotic @leftovers
Bold nature
EVs: 84 HP, 252 Defense, 12 Speed, 106 Special Attack, 56 Special Defense
^^^No idea why those should be what they are...
-Surf
-Ice Beam
-Hypnosis
-Recover

;65;
Alakazam @leftovers
Timid nature
EVs: 200 HP, 252 Speed, 58 Special Defense
-Calm Mind
-Psychic
-Fire Punch
-Thunder Punch

Please fix this team. I need help, and I know it.

Adamant would be better imo. 210(STAT) speed, at least 370 attack, give it some defens esinc eits your "physcial wall" in a way.

Pretty good.

 

[wiiman]

Sadly, I've already raised Tyranitar to level 85 and maxed his EVs. Isn't it possible to remove some via a berry or something?

Also... I am sure you cannot have 363 speed EVs. Other than that, thanks for the help a lot. I appreciate it.

 

[Nightcat]

I happen to know that when Tazzler says that, he means the stats, not the EVs.
But yeah, pretty good team.

[wiiman]

Really? It's a good team!? Ok, I'll try to work on those guys then!

 

[Overheat Hothead]

yes you can use the berrys on any pokemon that has 1 or more EVs and is NOT Level 100. Since yours is only 85 your OK.

 

[Crypted Wolf]

Yeah good team but go with ST Milotic.

 

[WhiteWizard42]

in emerald only, berries 21-26 lower EVs, by 10 each. what is the current level and stats of your tyranitar? given that information, we can figure out what your IVs are, and therefore how many EVs you need in speed to be faster than everything after 2 DDs.

also, tazzler, doesn't it only need 198 speed to be faster than timid jolt after 2 DDs?

 

[Tazzler]

212 speed (Stat) should be used imo.

 

[wiiman]

OK!
Here goes:
Tyranitar, Jolly Nature
Level 85
290 HP
310 Attack
199 Defense
162 Special Attack
196 Special Defense
204 Speed

I tried to get really good IVs in all stats, but I'm afraid that defense didn't go as well as I had hoped

 

[Crypted Wolf]

Do you have perfece IVs in attack?

 

[WhiteWizard42]

your speed IV is either 28 or 29. assuming the worst (28), you need 152 EVs to get to 212 speed at level 100, as tazzler suggests.

so, feed your tyranitar 10 tamato berries (i think that's the one. berry #26), and then put the rest of the EVs into something else. just remember that you've got 100 EVs to use up. i might put it in SDef, personally, because it has fewer special weaknesses. but then again, you've got a milotic on your team, and T-Tar is a normal resist. maybe just dump it into HP?

for the record, your IVs: 29/28/9/(16-18)/25/(28-29)

HP/Atk/Def/SAtk/SDef/Spd

 

[GeminiDragon]

i think that you should add recover to alakazam instead of thunder punch

 

[RoboRaph]

You can't have 3 Leftovers when using the team for the BF, so you might as well give Tyranitar a Chesto Berry since it has Rest. Also Milotic can keep its Lefties and Alakazam could have a Lum Berry or Shell Bell.

 

[WhiteWizard42]

zam can't take repeated hits. give it brightpowder, or a lum berry. milo gets the lefties, and TTar gets a chesto if he has rest. otherwise, maybe a shell bell?

 

[wiiman]

K, sounds good. I knew about the item clause, but I hand no idea what to use...
Thanks for all the help and tips. I'll start working on my party immediately. Milotic will be last since he's soooooo hard to get.

Also, I just got an adamant metang, and I'm thinking of raising him and switching him out to use instead of tyranitar every once and a while.

Thanks again! ... One last thing: Where exactly can I get that berry?

 

[WhiteWizard42]

save before talking to the berry master and his wife (on route 118) and kiri (sootopolis city). i think they can both give you the EV berries. once you get a few, plant them and water them every time they change stage.

water every 6 hours, pick one day later for best growing.

 

[Kikas123]

Also, Another good thing to do is give Alakazam is either the move Toxic (works for me) and also as Tazzer said, Recover, cheapest thing for Alakazam to have.

 

[WhiteWizard42]

zam doesn't have the defenses/HP to toxistall, and when you take >50% from pretty much every attack, there's not much point in recover.

 

[Snap Dragon]

Recover should be saved for Pokemon that can use it properly.
