@El Panda: I hadn't thought about using Lanturn as a special tank, but I think I will since I could use some decent defenses on my team. What nature and moveset should I use?
Click to expand...

Here you go:

Lanturn(Calm)@Leftover
Volt Absorb
EVs; 40 HP, 216 SpA, 252SpD
-Surf
-Thunderbolt
-Ice Beam
-Thunder Wave/Toxic

Use thunder wave is your team is of lacking on speed, or Toxic if you expect to run into special walls

or if you want something for recovery other than left overs:

-Rest
-Sleep Talk
-Thunderbolt
-Ice Beam


@YOOMTAH

As far as a lead Politoad, this is what i could come up with:

Politoad(Timid)@Leftovers
Water Absorb
EVs: 252 HP, 4 SpA, 252 SPd
-Hypnosis
-Ice Beam
-Surf
-Encore/Mist/Rain Dance
Lets you put your opponents to sleep , or if their of the stat boosting variety, you can lock them into it using encore or elminate it using mist.

TrickBand sets work just as well in the Battle Frontier as they do in Competitive. Especially since the AI is stupid and won't switch.

Besides, if you're using Furret you shouldn't expect to be using it as an all-out attacker with its poor stats.

^ Yea i could go with that...
But maybe Haze for the last slot, as that could save me from hax.
Might replace Ice Beam for Toxic, simply because i like supporting leads.

EDIT: I'm replacing Ice Beam with Hyper Voice. I love that move and i heard water + normal is great neutral coverage.

I've got a Gloom that I'm raising in my SS, and I'm having a bit of trouble deciding what to use for her last move.

Gloom
Sassy Nature
EVd in Sp Atk, Speed, and SpDef (don't remember the exact numbers)
-Leaf Storm (will learn as a Bellossom)
-Sludge Bomb
-Toxic
-???

Currently I'm using giga drain, but I'm not completely satisfied with it.
I'm thinking about maybe filling the slot with either substitute or synthesis, what are your opinions?

Bellossom
Modest Nature
4 HP / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
-Sunny Day
-Solarbeam
-Sleep Powder
-HP Fire / Sludge Bomb

All it can really do. Sludge Bomb is an acceptable choice if you don't want to breed for HP.

What are good movesets to use for a Jolteon?
Click to expand...

Jolteon@Choice Specs/Wise Glasses
Timid
EVs: 4 HP / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
-Thunderbolt
-Hidden Power Ice / Grass / Substitute
-Shadow Ball
-Thunder Wave

HP Ice/Grass is preferred, but Substitute is viable if you don't want to breed for it.

I hope this was enlightening for you.

I finally got my game back, so i have Arceus to rate

Multitype
??? (dont know what plate to use)

Judgment
Roar of Time
Spacial Rend
Shadow Force

Arceus@Leftovers/Life Orb
Nature: Mild (+SAtk, -Def)
Trait: Multitype
EVs: 80 HP / 252 SAtk / 176 Spd
- Judgement
- Surf
- Calm Mind
- Recover

This may look weird, however Judgement + Surf will get almost perfect coverage, and allow for an easy sweep with Calm Minds under its belt.
Of course you can forego the set-up and go with a mixed Arceus;

Arceus@Life Orb
Nature: Mild (+SAtk, -Def)
Trait: Multitype
EVs: 176 SAtk / 252 Atk / 80 Spd
- Judgement
- Extremespeed
- Flamethrower
- Shadow Claw

Or something similar, working around the massive movepool that's on offer. This allows you to use Arceus' nature to attack from both sides of the spectrum, while still retaining good coverage. Excuse the EVs, I'm not very good with spreads lol.

Dragon trainer

Arise from the Ashes
Ampharos
Power Gem/Signal Beam
Thunderbolt/Discharge
Thunderwave
Focus blast

Can a Calm nature work instead of Modest?

If you want a Calm Natured one, its gonna be primarily for defensive purposes:

Ampharos(Calm)@Leftovers
Statis
EVs: 252 HP, 4 SpA, 252 SpD
-Thunderbolt
-HP Ice
-Rest
-Sleep Talk

Now have a great day and hope you find some peanut buuter stuck in between your toes.

So, I'm considering doing a mono-type Fighting BT team. I already have a standard Medicham:

-Hi Jump Kick
-Zen Headbutt
-Ice Punch
-Thunderpunch

I want to do a special attacker Lucario, but I can't think of the last move:

-Aura Sphere
-Vacuum Wave
-Dark Pulse
-????

Dragon Pulse seems redundant as the only thing it covers that Medicham's Ice Punch doesn't is Kingdra, and I don't think I'm too likely to see him. I'm considering Magnet Rise just to get rid of one of his weaknesses. Maybe Shadow Ball? But that also seems redundant with Dark Pulse. Suggestions, please!

I am requesting a pokemon. (Preferably not a tank. I want one that can hit hard, and hold its own. Meaning not frail like Weavile.)

I already have Typhlosion, Jolteon, Dragonair, Crobat (WILLING TO REPLACE, meaning 2 requests?), and Gyarados. I am using Soul Silver, and cannot get any version exclusives from HG. (I'm thinking of a Heracross. I already have an Adamant one from FR.).

*I don't EV train. :/

@ Dresden:

Special attacking Lucario should be CMing. It makes him that little but bulkier as well.

Lucario @ Leftovers / Wise Glasses
Modest / Inner Focus
- Substitute
- Calm Mind
- Aura Sphere
- Shadow Ball

@ Phinocio:

The team so far is very Rock-type weak. I recommend a Rock resist like Donphan.

Donphan @ Muscle Band / Leftovers
Adamant / Impish
- EQ
- Ice Shard
- Seed Bomb
- Rock Slide

Maybe so, but Donphan is better.

Also consider Vacuum Wave over Aura Sphere on ungulateman's Lucario.
