Need Help

Lief

Well-Known Member
Ok I am looking for a rating of my Team members/ movesets. I won't post the natures or EV cause I can handle that part, I just need a little help with movesets hold items and weaknesses.

Tyranitar@Choice band/Life Orb
Crunch/ Pursuit
Stone Edge
Earthquake
Dragon Claw

Sweeper, Switch in on Gengar's Weaknesses, and set up Sandstream for Cradily. I don't know whether to chooses crunch or Pursuit. Since he can switch on most of my teams weaknesses pursuit seems like a good option as they switch out, but if they don't switch out pursuit is only a 40 attack. And I was also wondering how much attack does life orb add?

Gengar@?
Shadow Ball
Sludge Bomb
Thunderbolt
Psychic

Sweeper and used to cover Ttar's fighting and ground weaknesses and also attract psychic and dark moves for the switch with Ttar

Cradily@leftovers
Giga Drain
Mirror Coat
Recover
Barrier

Annoyer/Physical Wall Perfect if Breloom can set up a leech seed and Ttar can set up sandstorm

Breloom@leftovers/Big Root
Spore
Substitute
Focus Punch
Leech Seed

Sub Puncher/Leecher Okay if anyone in my team doesn't fit, its this guy but he is just so awesome! He can also attract psychic and flying moves for another switch in for Ttar and set up leech seed in tandem with the Sandstorm

Milotic@Leftovers
Surf
Ice Beam
Sleeptalk
Rest

Special Wall/Sleeptalker Holds the all important Ice beam but I am worried a little about the sandstorm

Gallade@?
Psycho Cut
Close Combat
Swords Dance
Brick Break

Sweeper idk, easily replaceable
 
okay I just realized that marvel scale is for defense rather than spdefense, so I do need help with Milotics EV's. He has a modest nature simply because its easier to evolve that way and I want to give him EV's so that he has enough special defense and enough defense EV's to actually make his marvel scale ability worthwile, and of coarse he needs plenty of HP and it is important that his Ice Beam packs enough of a punch to take out those pesky dragons. I also ended up going with Pursuit over crunch because that is the main purpose of my strategy, but I need to know if Life orb is powerful enough to KO those ghosts and psychics because with a choice band being limited to pursuit is really frustrating after you KO that first poke that tries to switch out.
 
One thing Lief didn't cover.
I think maybe, you may just want to use Leaf Blade or Stone Edge over Brick Break on Gallade. Just a suggestion there.
 
Can't really do that toxic orb thing, cuase i've had my breloom EV trained to level 100 since the 3rd generation, and I will go with Leaf blade. Thanks for the suggestions.

Cradily can do so much better then be a douchebag that does absolutely nothing but lose you battles this gen.

Swords Dance
Recover / Rest
Earthquake / Sleep Talk
Rock Slide / Seed Bomb
 
Well I used the same exact cradily on Netbattle in the third gen and it was wonderous at stoping anything, the only fear I have now is that recover's PP has gone down since the last Gen. but I think my moveset will still work. Besides cradily's attack stat isn't very high, so unless I find a reason why it won't work in the fourth gen I'm gonna keep my moveset. And crossfire thanks for those standards they actually helped me out with the hold items. and I went ahead and redid my Breloom, I guess I'll trade my old one away. Cresselia may be a better option but I'll wait to see if it becomes uber. Since my Breloom with toxic orb now withstands status moves I think I will change the moveset of my Milotic to
Ice Beam
Toxic
Recover
Surf
And this is probably off topic but while I was EV training my new shroomish I encountered a shiny Gyrados Woo!
 
What are the natures of your Pokemon?

And congratulations on the new shiny!
 
on crossfire08's set, Gallade should have Thunderwave > Night Slash or Psycho Cut.
 
Tyranitar Adamant
Gallade Adamanant or Jolly (I have both waiting to be EV trained)
Breloom Adamant
Gengar Modest
Cradily Bold
Milotic Modest (I know its not a great nature but its the easiest to evolve)
 
At first when I started building my team, I was thinking of adding medicham in place of Gallade, but I was thinking of his old movset and how shadowball went special and figured it woldn't be worth it but now I realize medicham does have a chance with psycho cut. So waht do you think Gallade or Medicham?
