Improved team

I spent a while on smogon perfecting this team, lets see what people here think of it.


dpmfa350.png

Milotic: Leftovers
Bold nature 148HP 240Def 120SpAtk
Surf
Ice beam
Recover
Hypnosis
My lead, starts off with hypnosis and then hits with ice beam or surf, if the opponent resists both moves I switch, simple. Dont bother lecturing me on restalk, this moveset fits my team better, also my luck is awful with restalk.
P.S Does anyone know which berrys to use to make feebas evolve with a bold nature?

So many views so few responses. Or is it that me team has nothing to change? At least someone could help with the feebas problem.
 
I would use Sceptile as a Sub-Seader rather than a sweeper. Sceptile doesn't have that good Sp. Atk to do some major damage.
 
I cant make another sweeper unfortunatly as all my walls/tanks are there for very good reasons, otherwise I would get 6-0 left and right if certain pokemon pop up.

Also I do not use restalk as it always ens up worse for me than my opponent, rant all you want about how good it is for you but I wont use it.

I dont see whats the problem with 2 sweepers, since my stallers either A: Inflict damage with stats conditions+spikes or B: Actually have decent offensive stats.

Anyway on the team building guide it says to use at least 2 sweepers anyway so I dont see any problem, sometimes I see people with 3 sweepers get yelled at for useing to many.
 
nothing counters Gengar. just thought id point that out. unless you count Rampardos revenge pursuiting it

Ice beam
Rest
Sleep Talk

ResTalk activates her ability and is far superior since she can also absorb damaging status's as well.

Crunch

As a glass cannon Rampy needs all the fire power he can get, if something runs, let it, just KO the next poke instead. As useful as Pursuit is Crunch stops you getting threatened by Cresselia.

I like. Its good too see Sceptile in action :) although if your in need of such a powerful Grass Attack just use energy ball alone since it will do plenty damage byitself without LeafStorm. I would run Grass Knot> Storm because it hits heavier foes for more power than Energy Ball...and one Grass/Ball will KO all the things it needs to...ie. Swampert, Rhyprior...etc

I like running Shadow Sneak or Night Shade over one of the Punches...but thats just me.

Me in bold.

Looks good although Dusknoir is all that stops Starmie doing alot of damage so be careful of that ^^
 
Just pointing out that grass knots maximum base power is 120, 20 lower than leaf storm, and thats only on really heavy foes.

Also I said it before and ill say it again, I dont use restalk especially on not on this milotic as it is meant to use hypnosis,surf and ice beam.
 
Leaf Storm is better than Grass Knot. Hits Vaporeon harder. Just thought id point out again that nothing counters SpecsGar
 
Shadow Sneak works. Just dont switch into too many Specs Shadow Balls
 
You lack a status absorber, and some weird anti-reSTalk mentality is stoping you from having one. reSTalk is used for a reason.
 
Milotic absorbs status just fine, and my
anti-reSTalk mentality

is justified as it causes me more damage than my opponent. When you use it you have a 1in3 chance of doing the right attack, that is to huge a risk with luck as crap as mine.

...and yet it works.
Sure 1 in 3 is pretty bad, but even so it means she has MASSIVE defence with Marvel Scale activated and she is also immune to Will-O-Wisp, Toxic and Thunder Wave which crucify her. Not to mention your team if they take the status's too...

Don;t get me wrong, your set works, but without anykind of Status Absorber or Aromatherapy/ Heal Bell support your team gets crippled by the first Wisping Dusknoir...
 
..and yet it works.

Not for me. I almost lost several matchs because of this stupid combo. And anyway milotic absorbs will-o-wisp and toxic and still kicks butt afterwards.
