HP Grass 66 (according to serebii's calculator) Judging by this, because you haven't included Evs, that will be wrong. Use Crunch instead.

Grumpig

Go type Specific here. So either use Ice, Fire or Water. Not a mix

Suggestions are in bold.

Though this team lacks Physical moves, and things that take hits. Put in a Snorlax.

Ok, but-

1.)Why should Aggron have all attacking moves
2.)How can i get Crunch? im not going to breed another manetric!
3.)Which Elemental Punch?
4.)Why should i give up Castform versitiliy?

Because...
1. It gets given the Choice Band. And since it cant get any good stat upping moves, that is the best choice.
Unless you want,
-Rock Slide
-EQ
-Substitute
-Focus Punch
2. Breeding is the only way. That way you could get one with decent Evs too.
3. It is entirely up to you. Work it around what the rest of your team is. Eg. if whichever Castform you choose, pick an elimental punch that is different to it.
4. I don't have a real answer, but I know it is better to focus on one type of Castform, rather than having a wishy-washy one.

1.) Hmmm... never had a choicebander before, might try it...
2.)Forget you man! Woh!
3.)OK
4.)Well, if you look, i have no fire types, no (water move using) water types and no ice types.

Oh, and whats wrong with Thunder-dancing? 100% accuracy, and with charge you get 120*1.5*2 = 360 damage over 2 turns (but only one PP) !

1. I think it would do well.
2. ... :eek:
3. (see 4)
4. you dont need a strict Fire/Water/Ice type to cover the types. You could use a Fire Castform with a Swamert with Surf and a Grumpig with Ice Punch.

Ok, enough of the numbers! Thanks for the advice on grumpig and aggron, much appriciated. However, i still don't get why i can't use thunder-dancing. Much higher damage! I know that sounds noobish, but a sweeper is a sweeper is a sweeper.

Thunder-Dancing takes 2 turns to get one hit of thunder which has 120 power no matter what the weather (lol).
Thunderbolt allows you to get in 2 attacks in the same time, doing (95+95=190) more damage.

120/2*1.5= 90 that is the first two turns of thunder-dancing

now

Simple

95+95*1.5=285

now

285-90=195

that is 195 more damae than tunderdancing in only two turns

that is why thunder dancing is comnplete sh!t

also

Manectric used raindance

Opponenet switches

Thunder has no effect on switched in pokemon

Eq

opponent lols at thunder-dancing

Maybe we should layoff the Crunchtric..I don't think he/she is going to change their mind, it's like talking to a brick wall. This person has made their decision and won't budge. Even though Crunch > Bite. So I say we get off of it and stop bugging him.

As likely as this seems, no, you didn't, fighting_master did. If you look at the times, you actually posted while i was writing mine. Your evidence was the biggest load iv'e ever read!

wtf have you been smoking?

Tom, shut up...

Brute Root, you may call me a brick wall, but games are played for enjoyment. Going though the whole game with an electike and evolving it just to dump it a lv45 and start again is not fun. I make it a moral point to never dump. Even when i unknowingly desided on my first ruby game that Kechleon looked good, i don't dump. Any pokemon, regardless of type, EVs, IVs and movepool can become good. Except maybe Magikarp...

And as for you Fighting_Master... oh um, thanks, you've really been a big help.
