Emerald - BF

Okay, I've been gone for a long while, but I'm back to emerald. This time I thought about another BF team, and I'm wondering what you think. So, here it is so far:

;380; Latias @ Leftovers
Bold
252 HP, 252 Def, 6 Sp. Att

- Calm Mind
- Recover
- Psychic
- Surf

The idea behind is to CM away, recover when needed and sweep. The reason for the nature and EV's also lays in CM. CM boosts her really nice Sp. Def, so EV's are not that much needed there. Bold boosts Def, and together with max EV's Latias is a pretty nice wall. At least, that's what I think. 252 HP for even a longer survive, and much recovering, which is quite annoying I think. Then, Psychic for a strong and reliable STAB, Surf for coverage against those Dark and Steel types. I thought about Thunderbolt first, but then I wouldn't be capable of fighting against a Steelix. Surf can.

Okay, that whas number one, let's move on...

;381; Latios @ (do Wise Glasses already exist in R/S/E?)
Timid
252 Sp. Att, 252 Speed, 6 HP

- Calm Mind
- Psychic
- Ice Beam
- Thunderbolt

Yes, indeed, the other Lati. I think I just like them, but oh well... Calm Mind for a possible Sp. Att boosting, so that Latios can sweep really well. Hope I can get one off, otherwise I'll start sweeping right away. The Boltbeam provides nice coverage against everything exept for, I thought, Magnezone, who doesn't exist in R/S/E and Lanturn (and maybe another one?). Psychic again for coverage and a strong STAB. It can hit quite much anyway, and on much other pokemon.

Well, after I overlooked these two... I saw I needed a Physical Sweeper and maybe a bit a Def wall, and one who can hit Shedinja. You might see it coming...

;376; Metagross @ ? (I really don't know what to use...)
Adamant
I also don't know it's EV's yet. Hope anyone has some suggestions?

- Meteor Mash
- Earthquake
- Shadow Ball
- Rock Slide

Quite straight away. Adamant for a higher attack (and I already have that one :P). Meteor mash for STAB and hitting Ice hard, Earhquake for nice coverage together with Meteor Mash, it only can't hit Skarmory with these two moves. Shadow Ball against Shedinja. I might be stupid by doing something like this, but without that move Shedinja would slaugther my whole team. The last move... I really don't have any idea. Agility for speed boost? Iron Defence for amazing defence? Aerial Ace for an always hit and against Shedinja? I think Shadow Ball works better, because it can hit Psychic hard. Rock Slide against Salamences and other Flying.

Well that was it, hope it's understandable, as I'm Dutch and my English might not be that good. But we'll see. Hope somebody want's to reply... I'll check every now and then, so till later!

This is fine, though i dont reccomend using both of the two above, I did and i regret training latias as its just not as powerful as latios and the risk of crit hit just made trying to use it as a wall, very risky. I always run lum berry on latios as once its paralysed its loses its effectiveness and its fragility begins to show. I still have the two of them but i never use them on the same team, I suggest you do the same, you will never, and i mean never, beat the battle frontier with 3 pokemon. you need to train more.

Metagross @quick claw/shell bell/lumberry
Adamant

move set is fine.

i just see this team failing really badly. look out for double teamers, and crit hits.
 
Well, that might, but I think I like this. The problem is that I don't have acces to other games pokemon yet. I got every Hoenn, besides Zangoose (hate that one, I'm on 199/200... And I don't know anybody with Ruby...) I might have to restart... But oh wel... Maybe I'll build some others, just in case. I'm just gonna try it out...
