Rate My Unfinished Team

[19jake93]

Right, so far I have:

Torterra @ Leftovers/Life Orb
Adamant
Overgrow
252 Attack / 252 Defense / 4HP

Curse
EQ
Seed Bomb
Stone Edge

I curse up and just wall / sweep away. He really isn't gonna outrun much anyway, and I'd like to have him as a backup wall so I went with curse > Swords Dance

Shedinja @ Focus Sash
Jolly
Wonder Guard
252 Attack / 252 Speed / 4 (No idea what these went into )

Swords Dance
Ariel Ace
Shadow Claw
X scissor

That's all I've trained so far. I was thinking of a Sp. Dragonite, Forretress and SkarmBliss for the remainder of my team.

Don't use focus sash on shedinja, I think I know what you're thinking about it always having full health, but if an attack hits, it always does at least one damage, and you can only get hit by SE hits.

Some people use wood hammer on torterra, but seedbomb works too.

If you want a special sweeper that's a dragon, go with salamence, dragonite isn't the best at it.

I don't know much about forretress, but make sure he has both spikes and rapid spin

Skarm should know SR/spikes, and have an impish nature.

Blissey's a good aromatherapist, so use this set:

Blissey@sassy/calm/bold w/lefties
aromatherapy
ice beam
softboiled
seismic toss/thunder bolt(seismic toss comes from an emerald move tutor.

 

[19jake93]

@Blissey, I was gonna go with that set but with Tbolt and Calm mind instead of Ice Beam and Seismic Toss. I went with Seed Bomb on Torterra because I'd EVed it in defense so it could be Physical Tank and I don't like the idea of volentarily wastign health. As for Sheddy, I don't quite get what you mean... Focas Sash will keep it alive if I send it into something that I'm unsure can hit it... If it can, I'll switch him out straight away and if it can't, I'll just SD and sweep.

EDIT: Hmm... I just looked at Serebii's dex and I see what you mean - I think I will go 'Menece > Dragonite. I think I'll go with the Choice Specs set. Also, I dunno weather I should have a bulky water over Forretress, or maybe a Special Tank. If I did, it would help balance my team, but if Skarm should die, I phail to most physical sweepers.

Someone doesn't realize that Focus Sash saves Shedinja.

Leech Seed / Earthquake / Seed Bomb / Curse on Torterra. Stone Edge isn't worth it.

Adamant on Shedinja with;

X-Scissor
Shadow Claw
Will-o-Wisp
Swords Dance

Aerial Ace isn't worth it at all.

 

[SHUCKLE MAN]

You wont need Forretress AND SkarmBliss. Forretress and Blissey make the ForryBliss combo, simply because Forretress and Skarmory both play the role of physical wall and Spiker. ForryBliss and SkarmBliss in one team will make you look stupid. Just decide if you want to Spin and Explode, or if you want to Roar and have more resistances.

Try Choice Banded Torterra if you want.

Wood Hammer
Stone Edge
Earthquake
Crunch

Use nooblet's Shedinja moveset, and perhaps consider Shadow Sneak over Shadow Claw.

Yeah, I was working towards a set like that, AA was only there 'cause he was ported straight from Emerald. He also had *shudder* double team. I'd not thought of using WoW on him though... Where can I get the TM for that? Also, he has a 31 IV in attack and Speed, and I figured that Jolly helps it outrun a few pokes so I left him, I really don't wanna rebreed lol

@Torterra, I really don't like Wood Hammer, or any moves with recoil damage (With the exeption of on a 'mon with rock head, or on Life Orb sets) And Stone Edge helps it kill fliers and ice types which it's scared of.

@ForryBliss v SkarmBliss, I think I'll go with Skarm, as much as I love Forretress, Skarm is just better overall... Any ideas for a bulky water that ca dish out a punch with special attacks? And please don't say Suicine - On FR I started with Bulba and I don't have Colo.

 

[aipomkong]

Will-o-Wisp is a TM in the Battle Tower.

Also Torterra is pretty slow, so trying to Stone Edge an Ice type is risky.

 

[kevinthegreatGobbler]

If you want a bulky water, go with slowbro/slowking/swampert.

 

[19jake93]

Will-o-Wisp is a TM in the Battle Tower.

Also Torterra is pretty slow, so trying to Stone Edge an Ice type is risky.

It's only as a last resort, in case everything else is gone. It's mainly to kill fliers or fire types.

 

[kevinthegreatGobbler]

But earthquake kills fire types, and you can switch to somebody else for flying types.

 

[19jake93]

I suppose... But I'm not liking leech seed much. What other options are there?

 

[aipomkong]

If you don't want Seed i suppose you could go with something like;

Swords Dance
Earthquake
Seed Bomb
Rock Slide / Stone Edge

I'd prefer Rock Slide over SE myself due to PP and just that 80 accuracy likes to turn into 0 accuracy most of the time.

 

[19jake93]

^That's the set he's running ATM, but with Curse > SD and SE > Rock Slide.
The accuracy of SE isn't a problem IMO, it doesn't seem to miss much. And I like curse better 'cause it raises defense and helps him tank, which is his main purpose on my team ATM.

 

[~-Overheat-~]

Torterra@Leftovers
Adamant

EQ
SD
Stone Edge
Wood Hammer

You could add Leech Seed to that set also^

Dunno bout Shedinja
