Now you tell me >_>; *Edits*

 

[Brute Root]

Why does Lapras need Thunderbolt?

 

[Freakshow]

Because...Boltbeam

 

[Brute Root]

but that still doesn't mean Lapras has to have them both, Lapras doen't need ThunderBolt because Ice Beam can take care of any of the same types Thunderbolt can. This is what I recomend fer Lapras (moveset wise).

Lapras:
Surf
Ice Beam
Safeguard
RainDance/Confuse Ray/ or maybe even Rest.

Yes because Ice Beam can take out opposing waters. Makes perfect sense to me.

 

[Brute Root]

But you don't have to use Lapras against a water type, you could switch to electric or grass. Only reason (I think) you would use Lapras against another water type is if Lapras has water absorb ability.

 

[chaos952]

Thank you Captain Obvious. For your information, BoltBeam covers everything except Volt Absorb Lanturn and Magneton. Stop rating teams as well.

Use Ryan's suggestions, except use Aerial Ace over Fly on Salamence, Calm nature for Lapras, and Leftovers over Quick Claw on Lapras.

The only HM worth using is Surf. Get HM slaves for your other HMs.

 

[Rudoku]

The only reasons you'd use a non-Water Absorb Lapras are:

1. You hate hate HATE Critical Hits
2. You're lazy and unlucky

 

[Fluorescent Adolescent]

I had AA their first but he wants it to have fly which is okay considering, it's in-game and it's easier having a member of the squad that can fly ;/ Its not as if the AI switches out either D:

As for the leftovers>QC, I failed to change QC after seeing it-must have forgot D:

 

[Air Dragon]

He won't erase the HMs, He WON'T erase the HMs... ok, got it.

Sceptile @ Leftovers
Modest nature

Slaking @ I dont have idea what can i give to my lazy friend
(Neither do I. XD Try the Shell bell.)
Naive nature

Slaking is weak against Ghost types right about now. i'd sub shadow ball for faint attack to give you a better edge.

Dusclops @ Leftovers
Docile nature
-Shadow Ball
-Confuse Ray
-Toxic
-Fire Punch

Salamence @ Focus Band
Naive nature
-Earthquake
-Dragon Claw
-Fly
-Flamethrower
My opinion: Lose the band...

Lapras @ Quick Claw
Quiet nature
-Surf
-Psychic
-Ice Beam
-Thunderbolt/ Body Slam

Espeon @ Dont know what to give her
Docile
-Morning Sun
-Sunny Day
-HP(Fire)
-Psychic
Congrats on the HP.

Ghost-type attacks don't affect Normal-type Pokemon, and it doesn't have Shadow Ball for nothing. Effing idiot.

Starmie rapes that team. Oh, and BTW Shiny Mightyena, baby Mussolini cries every time you rate. Get the facts straight before rating.

 

[Kalavinka]

TAKE FLY OFF SALAMENCE NOW.

~Death Star ;121;;373;

 

[Freakshow]

Fly isn't so bad ingame

 

[Tazzler]

Lol, Slaking has a ghost weakness. Lol replacing shadow ball for faint attack because it has a ghost weakness. SB does more damage to the same types as faint attack and slaking has 160 base attack.

 

[jindahouse]

all gud apart from dusclops have him with

shadow punch
torment
earthquake
shadow ball

n salamence just change earthquake for crunch and your set

 

[Freakshow]

Nononono, keep Earthquake
