Electivire: cress, steelix
Infernape: cress, starmie
Gyarados: starmie.

[BlacK_JacK]

looks good.

i like your aero lead (clever)
also, your mence wisher is interesting/cool

looks a bit Hera weak ;\

EDIT - Sorry didn't see your threat list; ya the CB Hera could give you problems

 

[choice!band]

hera weak with bulky mence.

lold

 

[metroidmania]

Bolt-beam is always a good combo on Starmie...I'd ditch a move for both. Machamp as a STalker is good even though its not exactly the most durable, but it does activate Guts which is always good. To quote Black Jack, I love your Aerodactyl lead.

I like your team overall though.

 

[[Kingdra]]

I'm prety sure lk did not make up STalkchamp ._.

 

[Megamiz]

Ludi did the math for the EVs.

Also, according to Somebody on another forum, (get it ) Mence takes a min of 51% from Stone Edge (w/Intimidate). Also, it has been brought to my attention that Hera can switch in lots on this team.

 

[PatTar]

i'll give cress psychic i think.

so it can come in on steelix, and starmie (kinda, and machamp (kinda).

not too worried.

 

[aquasuicune]

I say thunderbolt (not ice beam) on starmie. You already have IB on cress and ice fang on aero, so it gives slightly better coverage.

 

[MistyLover]

I like Salamence as a Special Sweeper: Draco Meteor / Dragon Pulse / Hydro Pump / Flamethrower...

I don't like Rapid Spin so much since there will always be a time when you need Ice Beam but you don't have it. Seriously, keep Ice Beam. And Grass Knot would do well.

 

[xgina]

see thing is you don't want salamence losing 25% of its hp every time it switches in so getting rid of SR helps

 

[MistyLover]

I guess you're right. Why don't you add Skarmory?

 

[Katatchi]

Manaphy: Should be banned.

Manaphy isn't going to be banned. I suggest putting Light Screen on that Cresselia, that way you'll counter it. And what do you mean by 'no one can EV a Cress' anyway?

 

[ludicolo_kid]

Looks nice. Watch out for HP Ice Raikou, I don't know how Cress fares against it really, but I would think it has trouble breaking CMd Subs. I didn't make up ResTalk Machamp, and iirc I got the EVs of one of Mag's 3rd gen teams, but I am basically the only person to have used it on Wi-Fi.

 

[Hunter_RuLe]

Nice team, not everyone here post standard teams though. I like Arial Ace on Aerodactyl for Stab + own at Hera+Breloom. Electivire Problem.

 

[MistyLover]

I like Aerial Ace over Pursuit, it's better, imo.

 

[aipomkong]

Ice Fang ohkos Breloom and Stone Edge will pretty much OHKO min hp/min def Heracross. AA isn't needed.

I'd go Charge Beam on Cresselia, just for sake of having a 100% reliable Gyara counter.

Starmie isn't great as it takes way too much damage from a DD'd Earthquake, or even a Life Orbed Earthquake to be a reliable counter.

 

[ludicolo_kid]

True, Starmie is 2HKOd by CBGyara's EQ, though I don't know if anyone other than me has used that yet.

 

[magnemiteZ]

I'm prety sure lk did not make up STalkchamp ._.

they happen to be my EV's.

so I lol'd.

 

[Hunter_RuLe]

Ice Fang ohkos Breloom and Stone Edge will pretty much OHKO min hp/min def Heracross. AA isn't needed.

Okay but still I prefer it over Ice Fang as Stab Stone Edge hurts more than super effective Ice Fang anyway (and on Dragons it's 2x vs 4x which has the seem results). Only thing might be Cliscor but it can't really do anything against Aero himself.

 

[aipomkong]

Garchomp is the sole reason I would really use Ice Fang. Even though it will switch out, at least you know you will always be able to force it away or flat-out beat it.
