Now, I've got a Sapphire version that I'm planning to restart to make the changes that may be suggested, and, if you prefer a Move Tutor-taught move, that's when my Fire Red comes into play, in which I might restart it just to make that kind of change to my team, all of which if any changes are made to my team, and now, I'm bracing those two versions for any team changes that could be suggested... Finally, you can now rate/suggest changes, whatever, to my team...

Seconded, although ten bucks says this isnt on NB based in "Now, I've got Sapphire Version". At the very least lose the stating of the stats and just state the EVs and Nature neatly. Gonna just "rate" the moves and team as a whole for now.

1st things 1st, people who play competitively *cough*Nintendotournamentssuck*/cough* don't clause Items.

Regice: Leftovers > Chesto, you have a Blissey for Aroma and Chesto-Rest sucks anyway. Thunder Wave/Seismic Toss over Counter if you leave it on Blissey. If you take it off Blissey it's an option I guess...

Blissey: What I said up there about Counter. Ice Beam or TWave here if you keep it on Regice.

Typhlosion: White Herb Sucks. Quick Attack sucks on this thing to, and so does Roar. Sub/Fire Blast/Sunny Day/TPunch seems to be the popular set on this thing but in all honesty I'd say ditch this guy, Typhlosion sucks in my book for the Fire typing alone.

Slaking: is fine.

Starmie: Recover > Psychic. Normally I'd say Rapid Spin in here but if the people you play with Clause items there's a high chance they won't use Spikes.

Salamence: Roar makes no sense. Again, since this doesn't sound like a "NetBattle" style area you can skip Fire Blast/Flamethrower and go with Rock Slide > Roar. Lum Berry is usable but I'd still call for Lefties to heal up any damage taken switching into fighting attacks.

If you're insisted into playing with item clause then you're probably screwed into playing with those crummy items.

Now for weaknesses:

- 3 Pokemon are weak to Fighting attacks and 4 are vulnerable to Heracross, and if Salamence or Typlosion took a Rock Slide switching into it your team would be pretty screwed.
- 3 Pokemon are weak to Rock attacks. Not "as" big a deal since the only major threat from that is CB Aero but still a problem.
- Nothing resists normal attacks, this is "a big deal" since a Tauros/other normal type can walk in and have his way with your team. Nothing resists Flying attacks in this team either but that's less of a big deal but still an open hole.

Metagross helps to seal this teams weakness, it resists Rock, Normal and Flying attacks and could easily fit over Typhlosion. The team is still pretty open to DD/RS/AA/EQ Salamence and alot of other things I probably haven't nnoticed but a Metagross would help seal up alot of chinks in this team's armor.

prophecy fulfilled
that typhlosion made the whole thread suck

Houndoom is so much better

Crunch/Will-O-Wisp/Fire Blast/Pursuit or HP Grass

OF COURSE IT IS! COMMUNISM RULES! ALL HAIL MARX AND LENIN!

Just out of curiosity, on what pokemon(s?) would sunnybeaming work? Exeggutor?

Chlorphil Pokemon, pretty much restricted to them only. Works on Groudon teams but doesn't exactly count as 'Sunnybeaming' since you don't perform the sunny day move.

Anything that can actually use it effectively.

i.e. Have the trait chlorophyll. Other than that it's useless and only used on those with horrid movepools.

EDIT-Willowwhisp beat me to it :(

Thank you for your comments...

Resisting Normal? I think Gengar can do the job, and take Typhlosion's job in the process. Why? Because I think that if two pokemon share common weaknesses, the team has more holes in its own armor than a team that doesn't share common weaknesses, and that's why I'm not sure if my team's good enough for BF action...

Now that you mentioned it, I'll switch Roar w/ Rock Slide on Salamence... But, if you think the Battle Frontier is too dangerous w/o Roar, then I won't. Do you think that the Battle Frontier's like Netbattle, only w/o the Netbattle???

In the meantime, keep on the rating! I have some time to train, so if you want to switch my strategy, go ahead: Rate my team, and make other suggestions on how to improve it...

EDIT: Changed my mind on Gengar... Found out that Starmie's weak to both Ghost and Dark; types that Gengar's also weak to...

The Battle Frontier can absue it's god given rite to blow me. In between Double Team, Attract, OHKOs and all it's other retarded Hax moves I wouldn't touch that place with a 10 foot pole. As for comparing it to NB, as far as skill and strategy is concerned you won't experience the same performance from the computer as you would a good NBer, but good NBers don't use retarded hax moves.

If this team is for Battle Frontier it should be in ingame btw.

If it IS for NetBattle, then you could use my Typhlosion *Opens NB, Blows Dust off*

Typhlosion (F) @ Leftovers ** Jay-Z, *****
Trait: Blaze
EVs: 104 Atk / 152 Spd / 252 SAtk
Rash Nature (+SAtk, -SDef)
- Fire Blast
- Focus Punch
- Hidden Power [Grass]
- Thunderpunch

Needs a shitload of prediction, but can pay off as in, it kills Swampert, Skarm, Bliss and Gyarados.

Oops, didn't read that, I stopped as soon as I saw the crappy format his team was posted in. Mostly this team has been given enough suggestion already, but:

Heracross will deal a heck load of damage to this team, And you should remove Regice/Blissey for a normal and flying resist like skarmory.


Leftovers > Chesto berry on regice.

EV's are a bit simple really, but doesn't matter that much
