I'm seriously considering putting Psychic here for Heracross, Machamp, etc.

Raikou@Leftovers
Crunch
Reflect
Calm Mind
Thunderbolt

Good poke.

Metagross@Quick Claw for BT
Meteor Mash
Earthquake
Sludge Bomb
Agility

Recover > Psychic ingame. Use either Shell Bell or Lum Berry instead of Brightpowder. Just because the AI uses hax items doesn't mean you have to.

I prefer Sub on Raikou over Reflect, but Reflect's fine as well.

Metagross likes Choice Band for this team.

- Meteor Mash
- Earthquake
- Sludge Bomb
- Explosion / Shadow Ball <- since you don't want move tutors, but Explosion is the better choice.

EQ hurts this team bad.

I didn't say I don't WANT tutors, I can't get, I have Sapphire. And I don't have CB yet.Sad thing is I am at 62 wins and no CB. I know, I might replace Kou for a Levitater like Gengar.

P.S:I'm not replacing Starmie, my fave pokemon, and performs very well in BT.
Just for people to know.

You could get away with Psychic on Starmie (as I do). I just don't see any real point.

I just think that Hera could be a threat if I don't handle it immediately.

The BF Heracross uses Endure/Reversal, so you're not going to 1HKO it anyways without quick attack or mach punch somewhere.

True, I started using Milotic over Starmie and Regice over Raikou.Milotic ROCKS!

Milotic@Leftovers
Surf
Recover (One of the best moves ever)
Hypnosis
Ice Beam

This thing is a STALL machine, also hits quite hard with 297 Special Attack. 2hkos Lati@s/Regirock/Heracross,etc. It survived a stall war with Lanturn too, It T-Waved/C-Rayed/T-Bolted and I still won because of Recover and hax. I only lost a move to paralysis once out of the 6 attacking turns it took. Hypnosis'd countless electrics, so that I could sweep with Metagross. This got me my 69th win, I know Starmie probably wouldn't be able to do that.

Regice@Brightpowder(forgot to replace)
Ice Beam
Thunderbolt
Rest
Explosion

Explosion was filler, the other 3 moves were the ones that helped me.
Regice is quite good as a poke. Takes hits with 100/200 base defenses and hits with 100 base S.ATK/Stab'd Ice Beam and T-Bolts.

Metagross@Quick Claw(Forgot to replace)
Meteor Mash
Agility
Earthquake
Sludge Bomb

Great pokemon no matter what. Beat Skarmory with 2 Meteor Mashes while Skarm was at half health, 1 was a CH though.

I know EQ hurts me, but not as much as my old team, (where as raikou was ohko'ed by eq) because Milotic has Marvel Scale and is Status'd a lot so EQ does minimal damage.
Regice has base 100 defense and high hp, but is owned by EQ.

Metagross has base 130 Defense so EQ will hurt but is a 2/3hko.

Explosion would have gone much better on Metagross with Psych Up on Regice. But that looks pretty good. Max defense on Milotic is nice.

Rawrtar
Yeah okay, thanks for the comments. About Psych Up on Regice, I don't really see any stat-boosters, to include Psych-Up, but I'll do it anyway, as Explosion only killed 2 pkmn in the BT, Kingdra and itself.

Curse......no. It raises attk and def, even with def, i lose to eq.

T-Wave could also be an option over Explosion for Regice.

That's not my team anymore. I took a more defensive approach SneazzL, I'm using Milotic, Regice and Gross. Works much better now that all my pokemon aren't KO'd quickly. Milo is a double wall with a 297 S.Atk Ice Beam and Surf.
Regice is my boltbeamer with 505 S.Def. Metagross is my attacker. Also Milotic can survive a few hits to Hypnosis then recover and switch safely. On my old team, I couldn't switch at all because Star and Kou are sort of frail. Gross can only take EQ for so long. Milotic w/ Marvel Scale is 5hko'd by eq, without it it's still a 3/4hko, which is enough time to kill with surf or ice beam.

Frost Nova and SneazzL.com, I have Sapphire, so no tutor moves, like Boom/Wave.

Toxic over Explosion then. Or even Amnesia if you want to.

I'll try Amnesia/Toxic then rost. Thanks.

Snorlax, I just said two times that I can't get tutors, I'm using Sapphire version..
That's also not my team anymore. It's Milo, Ice, Gross. My last team: Star, Kou, Gross got owned by EQ. Milotic and Regice can take Eq's, EQ 2HKO'D my old team,(Raikou got 1hko'd by pert/camerupt eq.) Now EQ 3-4 hko's Milo w/o Marvel Scale w/o talking about Recover or Hypnosis to switch easily. My old team couldn't switch, if it's life depended on it, because everything hurt my team. Yeah, my team is as Slow as crap with base speeds of 81/50/70, but they take hits switch easily and do more than enough damage to work very well. Besides, I like this team better.

I may put latios, but ubers are wrong to use, so even though it's allowed, I wouldn't feel right using him.
