Ok, I'm currently training for Hidden Land.
Team:
Riolu (Keith) Lv. 41
Swords Dance
Crunch
Close Combat
Wide Slash
These suggestions because Riolu/Lucario(If you're going to evolve him) are physical attackers. Quick attack is more of a, "Haha, I hit you first!" kind of move, unless you are going to give it ginsengs, I would lose it.
Totodile (Tide) Lv 41
Water Gun
Ice Fang
Crunch
Aqua Tail
Ampharos Lv 36
Fire Punch
Cotton Spore
Thunder Wave
ThunderPunch
Larvitar Lv 35
Rock Slide or Stone Edge
Focus Punch
Flamethrower
Dark Pulse
These suggestion are coming from my own Tyranitar, I would link Dark Pulse and Flamethrower, Stone Edge,Rock Slide and Focus Punch for back up!
Any fixes would be appreciated. Am training to 50ish
Edit: Yes I realize Amphy and Larvi can't join in hidden land but it makes it easier for post story training.
I don't know if you should trust me on this, but mAdkip, your team looks pretty good, especially since you reasoned it out so well. One recommendation is that your back Pokemon have some sort of long rang attack, to counter attacks from behind better, especially if you're in a path, not a room, and you have to go through other teams members to help out.
I'd also like someone to rate my team.
Lucario;448;- lv 60 male
First position
Moves:
Aura Sphere +1- Long range front advantage.
Dragon Pulse +1- Good power
Dark Pulse- Usefull when surrounded
Detect- Usefull for surviving
Jolteon;135;- lv 61 female
Second position
Moves:
Thunderfang- High attack stat
Double Kick- High attack stat
HelpingHand- Very helpful of course, especially due to position.
Trump Card- I like this move just because
Noctowl;164;- lv 49 female
Third position
Moves:
Air Slash- Good move with stats
Zen Headbutt- Good move with stats
Confusion- Good move with stats
Roost- With low HP, it's useful
Metagross;376;- lv 51 genderless
Fourth position
Moves:
Bullet Punch- Counters attacks from behind
Psychic- Powerful with stats
Agility: Speeds team up when enimies are near
Iron Defense- Helps survive attacks from behind
And that's all.
Actually I don't agree with you that much. I think Yellow Aura's team is very good. I also use only sweepers, and I haven't had any difficulties yet. I think that walls and status annoyers are only useful if you battle in the Battle Frontier or Battle Tower. Especially in PMD you only need attack. (at least that's my point of view)Your team needs work. You need a pokemon that can sweep monster houses. The main problem with your team is that it is made up of just powerhouses. You need a team with just two powerhouses, a status abuser, and a support pokemon. A support pokemon can be just one that has moves like heal bell, safeguard, agility (which you have), moonlight/morning sun, etc.
Kingdra will want agility and blizzard for multi hits and monster houses respectively. Octillery likes gunk shot and maybe water gun as it is heaps powerful. Signal beam and energy ball overlaps on type coverage. Why not remove drapion and put kyogre for a rain team? All these sets make me think how cool it would be if it was multiplayer.
