• Hi all
    Just a notice, we recently discovered that someone got into a moderator account and started hard deleting a load of key and legacy threads...around 150 threads have been lost dating back to 2007 and some weeks ago so we can't roll the forums back.
    Luckily no personal data could be accessed by this moderator, and we've altered the permissions so hard deleting isn't possible in the future
    Sorry for any inconvenience with this and sorry for any lost posts.
  • Hi all. We had a couple of reports of people's signatures getting edited etc. in a bad way. You can rest assured this wasn't done by staff and nobody has compromised any of our databases.

    However, remember to keep your passwords secure. If you use similar passwords to elsewhere which has been accessed, people and even bots may be able to access your account.

    We always recommend using unique passwords, and two-factor authentication if you are able. Make sure you're as secure as possible

.-.
Dragon Dance | Fire Blast / Stone Edge | Earthquake | Outrage
@ Life Orb / Leftovers
~ 216 Atk / 252 Spd (this can be lowered) / rest in hp.
Adamant.
Don't lead with this.

Tyranitar lvl 100 (Shiny!)@ Muscle Band
Naughty Nature
252 Attack/252 Defense/6 HP
Crunch
Stone Edge
Brick Break
Earthquake
Physical Tank here (I think thats what you call it) Crunch and Stone Edge for STAB, Brick Break and Earthquake for extra power.

Pursuit > Brick Break and stick a Choice Band on it.
Why does it have all its EVs in defence? Take them out and invest them in Speed and HP. Doesn't need that much Atk if you put CB on it.

Adamant Nature.


Metagross lvl 100@ Life Orb
Relaxed Nature
252 Defense (didnt ev train anything else)
Moveset:
Earthquake
Meteor Mash
Psychic
Brick Break


Either make this a Stealth Rock lead or give ti Rest / Sleep Talk.
Adamant for the first set, Impish for the second.
Get rid of Psychic / Brick Break on either set.


Charizard lvl 100@Flame Plate
Rash Nature
252 Sp Atk/252 Speed/6 Defense
Moveset:
Earthquake
Flamethrower
Dragon Pulse
Air Slash
Mixed Sweeper. Flamethrower and Air Slash for STAB, Dragon Pulse for additional counter against dragons, Earthquake to counter electric types.


You'd be better just getting rid of this.


Porygon Z lvl 100@ Quick Claw/something to help SP ATk
Modest Nature
252 Sp Atk/252 Speed/6 Def
Moveset:
Thunderbolt
Nasty Plot
Psychic
Tri Attack


Tri Attack | Nasty Plot | Hidden Power [Fighting] | Thunderbolt / Ice Beam


Milotic lvl 100@Leftovers
Calm Nature
252 Sp Def/ 252 Sp Atk/6 HP
Moveset:
Recover
Ice Beam
Dragon Pulse
Surf
Special tank. Surf for STAB, Ice Beam for dragons, Recover to make it more of a tank, and Dragon Pulse to counter other milotics/further the dragon resitances.


Just go 252 HP / ~216 SDef / Rest in def.


Also, i dont know what items i should use. any suggestions will be appreciated. thanks

Really only rated because Reno didn't see fit to close the thread. Team is lackluster and needs a lot of work. I'd recommend lurking and reading some more guides before posting again.
