"balanced in stats"? as in, you gave raichu a ***load of defense and HP EVs? not a good idea. you want to focus on strengths, not balance out weaknesses.

surf > dive/water pulse
toxic doesn't go on swampert, he's not a tank.
metronome and rollout should not be considered for competitive battling.
endure + wish?
reversal + leftovers?
flamethrower/fire blast > blaze kick, and you give blaziken sky uppercut, not seismic toss. it will almost always do more damage.
pick either physical or special for draggy, or you can do a boah-type set (IB/TB/Sub/FP). no point in DD if all you have is fly. also, blizzard is bad, you should use Ice Beam instead.
don't give mewtwo facade, it works better with IB, TB, or flamethrower/fire blast in that slot.
an endrevver should hold salac berry.

and post EV spreads / personalities.



PS: i'm probably going to be one of the least insulting people here. put up a flame shield.

You seriously need major help.

But I don't want to use Smogon anymore, I want to be original.

And no, when I meant balanced... when you click the expert button when looking at a pokemon, you can select it's gender and nature, ect. Including stats, there's an option where you can apply either balanced stats, streaghs and weaknesses.

Example: Every single stat of Mewtwo is 85.

Um, yes he is...mostly.

Trying to be 'original' won't get most people far. Very few battlers (usually the ones that've been battling for ages) can come up with an original moveset that actually works in battle. Not to mention you have to think of what it's role is (eg. countering a certain poke), then make up a moveset that corresponds, then create custom EVs for the role (something which I really can't do...>_>) and then test it.

But I don't want to use Smogon anymore, I want to be original.

If you want to be 'original and good', you need to stick to the standards for the first few months or years of netbattle, and then attempt to create original movesets when you become truly skilled. If you want to be 'original but horiible', you can start making up orignal movesets now.

Seriously, your team won't work in the metagame.

make it a good original. you can try weird stuff like CBMewtwo.
-Next time use File->Export to text
Also noting that ReversalChu needs Salac. With Lefties, you are making Reversal weaker each turn

 

[chaos952]

Like everybody else said, your team needs major help. Anything will own you, even Shuckle.

At least his team isn't utterly raped by BoltBeam... ;/

 

[Mudkipchan]

..... So? I don't care if my team suck. Too many people use sites like Smogon and I think that people should use trial and error with their original. I don't care if my team is whipped out even by a Weedle, because it's MY team and I just want to change a few moves and items, and natures on them. Ok?

I've fixed my team.

Neutral natures suck

2 moves of the same type are pointless in general

thief is pointless if you are already holding an item, especially when you´re runing Endrev with salac

Annoying moves like attract fail in NB

You can come up with original movesets, but at least try to use common sense, and play a few round of battles to understand how does the metagame work, instead of rushing with "new" movestes that will actually fail 100% of the time

 

[aipomkong]

using worthwhile natures and evs isn't conforming to smogon

ffs even using the sets they have on their pokdex isn't conforming to smogon, as most movesets were thought of/made before the new smogon was even started

 

[Mudkipchan]

2 moves of the same type are pointless in general

I don't see any pokemon with the same type moves, other then Marshstomp. But Water Pulse confuses, not causes damage. Thus, Swampert can have Surf and Water Pulse.

Neutral natures suck

Well, it's not like my Pokemon gain any exp points in netbattle anyway.

Annoying moves like attract fail in NB

How can it fail in NB? Sometimes it will come in handy.

thief is pointless if you are already holding an item, especially when you´re runing Endrev with salac

When Raichu uses it's Salac berry, it could steal off any kind of item from the pokemon I would be facing, plus Theif causes dark damage, whether you want to steal or not.

 

[Freakshow]

plz don't use Hardy. Even if you want to be original, there isn't a list of good natures for each pokemon. I'm serious.
Swampert-Brave/Relaxed/Quiet
Miltank-Impish/Adamant
Raichu-Hasty/Lonely
Blaziken-Adamant/Jolly/Hasty/Rash/Naive/Naughty/Mild
Dragonite-Lonely/Adamant/Naughty
Mewtwo-Modest/Timid



If you hate Smogon stuff...then consider these movesets I created myself (they are probably aren't as good, but they work)

Swampert @ Leftovers
Brave nature
EVs: 240 HP / 136 Def / 56 SAtk / 76 SDef
-Earthquake
-Hidden Power [Bug]
-Ice Beam
-Counter/Mirror Coat
This set is kinda fun. Get Celebi to around 60% health, then finish it with HP Bug (keep it till that is complete, or else the surprise is gone)

Swampert @ Choice Band
Brave nature
EVs: 240HP/ 252Atk/ 16SAtk
-Earthquake
-Hidden Pwer [Bug]
-Rock Slide
-Hydro Pump
This can catch its counters off guard

Mewtwo @ Leftovers
Mild nature
EVs: 84 Atk / 220 Spd / 200 SAtk (not sure)
-Snatch
-Ice Beam
-Shadow Ball
-Recover
Snatch CMs/Swords Dances and you are set

Mewtwo @ Choice Band
Lonely nature
EVs: 252 atk/220 Spd/40Sp.def
-Shadow Ball
-Earthquake
-Ice Beam
-Thunder/Thunderbolt

Miltank @ Choice Band
Adamant nature
EVs: 252 Atk/ 252 Spd/ 6 Def
-Return
-Shadow Ball
-Earthquake
-Focus Punch (I'm not sure if he can learn this)


Ok, so that's all I can think of now

Read the "annoyers fail" sticky
Well, Neutral nature sucks because you don't take advantage of your pokemon's abilities
Water Pulse only has a 20 (or is it 30)% chance of confusing, so its not reliable

Also my last Question to you is:
Why do you think Smogon has movesets posted up there if it wasn't for use?

 

[Delta]

1)I don't see any pokemon with the same type moves, other then Marshstomp. But Water Pulse confuses, not causes damage. Thus, Swampert can have Surf and Water Pulse.


2)Well, it's not like my Pokemon gain any exp points in netbattle anyway.


3)How can it fail in NB? Sometimes it will come in handy.


4)When Raichu uses it's Salac berry, it could steal off any kind of item from the pokemon I would be facing, plus Theif causes dark damage, whether you want to steal or not.

1)It´s Swampert, and no, Water pulse sucks if you don´t have serene grace. You´re wasting a slot when Swampert has a good movepool and you could be using curse/IB/EQ, etc

2)That´s precisely the point. Use the nature that benfits the status that your poke needs, instead of leaving them all in neutral

3)Attract=Switch; Attract against same gender/genderless pokes = fail

4)Thief isn´t going to damage anything hard, and the item you steal won´t even matter since you´ll be probably killed in that turn

 

[Mudkipchan]

Oh, thank you.

So how do I change a pokemon's stats?

(I meant AirLock200)

 

[Freakshow]

In the team builder, go to your pokémon. Then click on the "expert" button and start changing EVs

 

[Mudkipchan]

I know that, but I still don't know what to do after that.

 

[dynamo]

I know that, but I still don't know what to do after that.

You toggle the EV's to get the stats you want ._.

 

[Mudkipchan]

;;;;

Ok.... sorry, I'm still new to netbattle.

 

[xSabre]

I think you should go with AirLock200's recommended Natures. It's better to have stats boosted especially if you're not using other stats.
