Looking for help with Last Pokemon for UUPP Team

[Gumbyx84]

Hello. For those of you that do not know, I head the Underused Pokemon Project here at the Serebii fourms. I am currently making a new team for the project and I kinda need some help. Currently, I have a Typlhosion, Noctowl, Feraligator, Sandslash, and Meganium. Currently, I am stuck choosing a sixth Pokemon. I am trying to decide between Lanturn, Dusclops, or Misdevious. Currently I am leaning towards Lanturn and Dusclops. I have movesets that I am going to stick to iff possible. They are listed here if you are curious:

Lanturn
Attacks:
Water Pulse
Confuse Ray/Thunderwave
Spark/Shockwave
Ice Beam/HP (Fire)

Dusclops
Attacks:
Toxic/Will-o-wisp
Pursuit
Torment/Taunt
Confuse Ray

If you can tell me your thoughts on the subject, I'd appreciate it.

Note, I am not looking for movesets, Pokemon to replace them with, or any comments that are not to help me out. Please keep this nice and focused on the question. I'd appreciate it.

First off, I head the project because I started it. Please do not insult me or the project. AS I ASKED IN THE MAIN POST,

Second, if you took the time to go to the Project thread of website, you would have seen we DO NOT follow the standard UU listings used in competition or listings on such sites as Smoggon. The project is about using Pokemon that people do not normal see IN GAME and using them in new and DIFFERENT ways. So your opinions should be checked and probadly a little kinder.

Third, if you post in my threads again, I ask that you type like a normal human being so that others may be able to read it.

You haven't made a clear definition on what you mean by 'UU'. Any pokemon (except Legendaries) have an equal chance of appearing ingame. For example, how is Dusclops NOT seen ingame? E4's Phoebe uses two Dusclops, and your argument therefore is flawed from the beginning.

You also claim that Smogon's sets restrict pokemon movesets into one or two 'standardised' movesets that everybody uses. That is not the case. The movesets of pokemon, metagame or not, constantly changes to adopt to new counters. If you stepped into competitive RMT and took a look at one of the teams, you'll find that very few of these follow the same generic formula over and over again. Changes are good, as long as they are usable. The 'standard' movesets survived for this long because they worked and are feasible options. You wouldn't put the elemental punches on a Hitmonchan, for example, becoz' it CAN'T pull it off.

The RMT forums aren't exactly the nicest of places, so if you are offended then we apologise. It's just the way things are done here. You weren't that nice to snorlax / Toy either, for the record.

Gumby, I doubt people here will understand the uupkmn project , anyway, Id go for Dusclops as it is a better staller then Lanturn, and you already have Feraligatr as a water on your team.

Thanks for the heads up Akay. I probadly will just stick to posting UUPP teams stuff in the project thread.

And to Frost, if snorlax didn't insult me or my project, I would have been "nice" to him/her. I do not like how the RMT fourms "work" if they are just in-game teams. You guys do not know everythng about the game and metagame, esp when there is NO metagame in-game. Just do what people ask and don't throw in such rude comments. Probadly do you some good.

If a Mod could closet this thread, I would greatly appreciate it. I got my answer and I don't want to continue/start a flame war in RMT over something that's not worth it.

And you think you know better? lol if you say so. Sure, all of us here are noobs and we have no experience in the games. Then why ask us if we don't know anything?

SapphireL, or any of the mods out there, would one of you please close this? I'm getting a bit tired going over this again.
