I am wondering about a possible move set for a mega venasaur

"worry seed"
synthesis
sludge bomb
Toxic/Roar/...

The idea is that mega venasaur is pretty tanky and a lot of megas and specialist pokemon (agesislash, protean, tallonflame) rely on their abilities to give them an edge. Would it be possible to use this worry seed set competitively, what EV/ natures would be beneficial and what changes should be made to the move set.

no sludge bomb/sleep powder :eek:?

Sand Veil ability
-Thunderbolt
-Surf
-Dark Pulse
-Grass Knot

Aegislash (F) Lv.100@Leftovers
Quiet nature
Stance Change ability
-Shadow Claw
-Iron Head
-Sacred Sword
-King's Shield

Delphox (M) Lv.100@Nothing
Adamant nature
Blaze ability
-Flamethrower
-Psychic
-Shadow Ball
-Grass Knot

Azumarill (F) Lv.100@Nothing

Venusaur (M) Lv.100@Venusaurite
Lonely nature
Overgrow/Thick Fat abilities
-Energy Ball
-Sludge Bomb
-Leech Seed
-Sleep Powder

Tyrantrum (M) Lv.100@Rocky Helmet
Lax nature
Strong Jaw ability
-Rock Slide
-Dragon Claw
-Crunch

Pokémon in rotation:

Natures are sucky, EVs and IVs are all over the place, and hold items are missing. This is just an in-game team, it doesn't need to be competitively built. I can't participate in competitions, anyway--no wifi.

so ive been forming my online team and i wanted to use my xerneas but then i realized he is a bad nature impish (unless someone has a good build for it, it seems to be pretty bad cuz all the stats are pretty even [unless thats a good thing cuz when i look at his base stats in super training its a perfect pentagon] i was thinking about making a physical sweeper or maybe half physical half special) but i still need a fairy type is gardevoir a good alternative? I would plan on using her mega evolve cuz she seems pretty balanced please pm me your answer cuz i always forget to check the actual forum thx.

For the record, Aegislash is completely incapable of having its ability changed. Even if you use Iron Head on Cofagrigus, Mummy won't activate. Also, I don't think Worry Seed is very viable, as pokemon that don't rely on abilities vastly outnumber those who do. I also think Worry Seed's effects disappear upon switching out, so Protean Greninja will just U-turn out.

If you really want a good Prankster user, go for Whimiscott. He gets Taunt, Prankster, Tailwind, Light Screen and Memento - the perfect anti-lead, so long as your friends don't use hazards (>.<). Taunt, Lightscreen, Tailwind then Memento = Free switch-in followed by (almost) free turn plus boosted speed for three turns... I'm getting one of these badboys.
And if you're going to run Charizard Y to have a multi weather team, I suggest:
Charizard Y - Timid | Drought
252 SpA / 252 Spd @ Heat Rock
Heatwave - Air Slash - Solarbeam - Toxic

Ludicolo - Bold | Swift Swim
252 SpA / 252 Spd @ Wide Lens (The one that boosts accuracy)
Solarbeam - Hydro Pump - Focus Blast - Nature Power+Micle Berry / Filler

Florges - Bold | Flower Veil
252 HP / 252 SpA @ Leftovers
Solarbeam - Moonblast - Wish - Protect

+ The Politoed and Aegislash sets nd you can lead with a Whimiscott
And put a Damp Rock on Politoed too if you're doing multi.

As per Heloilisk vs Rotom.W; I think it's a wash-out win by Rotom.W (hehehe puns) as Rotom.W has amazing bulk, speed and power. I can send my Rotom to sponge hits if I need to, I guarantee you can't do that with a Heliolisk.


Yeah I bred a Clawitzer with Blastoise to get the Dragon Pulse, Aura Sphere and Dark Pulse.

heliolisk has better speed and slightly more power. but definitly cant tank. thats why i got klefki, steel/fairy, only weak to 2 things, ground, which heliolisk can hit. and fire, which heliolisk can also hit. also, clarizard y cannot hold heatrock, since y is its mega form, so it needs the mega stone. but does the wet rock (whatever its called) make drizzle last longer?

I really need 2 more pokemon. I HAVE a Quilladin at the moment and was thinking for Chesnaught:

Chesnaught
Overgrow

- Seed Bomb
- Hammer Arm
- Rock Slide
- Poison Jab/Shadow Claw/Earthquake

Saying that, I would love to try out a Trevenant

- Shadow Claw
- Horn Leech
- Poison Jab
- X-Scissor

I haven't got a Trevenant nor do I have access to trade locally for the moment (may be available soon) and so would have to go TO THE INTERNETZ!

That leaves me with one more possible slot... I'm not bothered with if the pokemon are the new ones or an old one (I have tried my best to try out the new Kalos pokemon).

I'd love a Togepi if anyone has one :) (Togekiss may be one of the best Fairy types - definitely my favourite!)

IIRC, you can capture Wld Trevenant on Route 20.

This is the team I want to have for Elite Four and after Elite Four. This team I was thinking of would be for Battle Mansion and possibly Wi-Fi battles. Can anyone give me tips?

Elite Four:

Greninja (Protean/Hasty):
Held Item: Choice Scarf/ Choice Band?

Water Shuriken
Night Slash
Extrasensory/Smack Down
Substitute

Nidoking (Sheer Force/Naughty)
Held Item: King's Rock

Poison Jab
Thunderpunch
Earth Power
Toxic Spikes

Sylveon [Female] (Cute Charm/ Sassy)
Held Item: Lum Berry/ Rocky Helmet (Possibly Rocky Helmet since Steel types are mainly Physical moves)

Moonblast
Light Screen
Skill Swap
Dig (Takes care of Poison and Steel types)

Aggron (Sturdy or Heavy Metal/ Relaxed)
Held Item: Aggronite

Stone Edge
Heavy Slam
Fire Punch
Aerial Ace


Alakazam (Magic Guard/ Mild)
Held Item: Kasiberry/Quick Claw

Psychic
Recover
Dazzling Gleam
Thunder Wave

After Elite Four:

(I'm not sure about my sixth Pokemon, I want a Pokemon that can heal with a low number of weaknesses)

Blissey (Healer/Calm or Gentle)
Held Item: Leftovers/ Shell Bell

Dazzling Gleam
Sing
Healing Wish
Safeguard

I know my team has weaknesses to fighting types, but hopefully with the Fairy type moves that could take care of those weaknesses. Any suggestions would be appreciated :)

Dragon Pokemon fan
Y team I am using:
Delphox Level 100
Snorelax Level 100
Lapras Level 100
Steelix Level 100
Farfetch'd Level 100
Vivillon Level 68
 
Currently deciding on what team to go into online battles with. I'm not too bothered on being super competitive but I'd still like my team to fit together well.
Always been a fan of Glaceon's looks so I really want to bring one in. Trying to MM a shiny Eevee right now hoping it has a Mild Nature but I'll probably give up if the first one doesn't have it. Just a question of who to throw in afterwards
 

Kokoromori

Isshu's got issues
A group on Facebook that I'm in is doing a little 'league' of sorts and they're picking gym leaders and such. I chose to be Poison so I'm trying to get a good Poison team together for what Poison mons we have available currently in gen 6. We can chose 5 Pokemon of said chosen type, and one 'wild card'.

So I know for sure that Dragalge and Noivern (my wild card) will be in my team, and I will most likely have Gengar with Gengarite in my party along with Drapion, Crobat, and maybe Toxicroak.
I want Dragalge, Crobat, and Gengar on my team, but Scolipede is also an option so I'm kind of stumped atm, haha.

Dragalge: Poison Point, Black Sludge/Balloon
Hydro Pump
Sludge Bomb
Dragon Pulse
Toxic

Noivern: Infiltrator, Focus Sash/(or Yache Berry if available in game)
Boomburst
Dragon Pulse
Air Slash
Toxic

As far as the other team members, I honestly have no idea what to do. When it comes to making a team, I typically don't have a good idea of what to do, lol

I prefer bulk over minor power difference. I forgot about the stone for Charizard xD but for polited it should extend rain to 7 or 8 turns.
