Creepy crawly
It's ALWAYS Halloween at my house...and in my Pokemon teams! Just an idea for an alternate team I will probably put together for fun...

Carnivine @ Leftovers
Leech Seed
Ingrain/Giga Drain/Swords Dance
Power Whip
Crunch

-I do love leftovers/leech seed/ingrain when it works, but it's a big risk to set up.

Lunatone
Stealth Rock
Cosmic Power
Psychic
Ice Beam

-Lunatone was one of my favorites from the third gen and gets a lot of great new options. Also gets trick room, restore imprison, and can ACTUALLY make use of Dream Eater...but I'm already doing that below.

Gliscor
Aerial Ace
Earthquake
Feather Rest
Sandstorm/Swords Dance

Spiritomb
Scheme
Hypnosis
Dream Eater
Dark Pulse

-Dream Eater and Hypnosis are frowned upon, I know...but it's just too awesome to pass up on a floating ghostly face that learns scheme.

Mismagius
Thunder wave/Pain Split
Confuse Ray
Thunderbolt
Shadow Ball

Weezing
Pain Split
Sludge Bomb
Flamethrower/Haze
Explosion

...I like pain split weezing :(


I might consider Dusknoir, Houndoom, Pinsir or Glalie somewhere...probably over Weezing.
 
Will-O-Wisp/Sludge Bomb/Pain Split/Haze on Weezing.
I don't really know enough about your other poke's to rate them.

oh, and,

Ingrain = Salamence + 6 Dragon Dances = You lose

Lunatone
Stealth Rock
Cosmic Power
Psychic
Ice Beam

Use Calm Mind please. Defencive stat upping just asks for a critical hit, and this generally doesn't do anything as it's attacking isnt that powerful anyway

 Gliscor
Aerial Ace
Earthquake
Feather Rest
Sandstorm/Swords Dance

lol sandstorm. Just no. Use Swords Dance

Spiritomb
Scheme
Hypnosis
Dream Eater
Dark Pulse

Switch button used lol. Hypnosis + Dream Eater got raped.
Pain Split > Dream Eater

Mismagius
Thunder wave/Pain Split
Confuse Ray
Thunderbolt
Shadow Ball

Destony Bond > C-Ray
Calm Mind > Wave

Weezing
Pain Split
Sludge Bomb
Flamethrower/Haze
Explosion

CB Tyranitar pretty much crunches its way through this. Scheme Houndoom Dark Pulses it's way through. etc.

No big deal. The only point of playing is to make a team you find interesting and make those six as good as they can potentially be. I don't let any specific, popular strategies get in the way of that. If there's no way to make this team better prepared for the majority of opponents, then that only means the team is perfect :)

kthxbi

Gee, I'm sorry for playing the game the way it was MEANT to be played.

I'm not allowed to ask for serious tips on making personal favorites as good as strategic as possible?

Don't act like an elitist over Pokemon of all things. Grow up :p

gee, sorry for doing what any sensible person who posts in any crmt forum would tell you; that using your favourites won't work half the time unless you really like Pokemon that are actually good, and that if you don't want to change your team, then you do not want it to reach it's fullest potential, and therefore this is not a competitive rmt.

and don't spring all that "it's online crap" because competitive and online in the same forum is lol
 
Meh, I prefer the following set for Carnivine:

Carnivine @ Leftovers
- Sleep Powder
- Swords Dance
- Power Whip
- Crunch

The others said everything else.

I have always been completely aware of this. Do I actually have to repeat myself here? I play to use Pokemon I like and make those pokemon as good as they can be. How good that is isn't relevant. As long as they're good for what they are, I am satisfied. I'm not allowed to ask for serious help on accomplishing that?

and that if you don't want to change your team, then you do not want it to reach it's fullest potential, and therefore this is not a competitive rmt.
Click to expand...

The "full potential" of THIS TEAM is to give these six Pokemon the best movesets possible. How is that not competitive? I know they will lose fairly often against uber-serious players, but I'm asking for pointers on ANY potential to curb that if any such potential exists. That falls perfectly within the purpose of this board.

gee, sorry for doing what any sensible person who posts in any crmt forum would tell you;

No, a sensible person would be someone like Nooblet who completely understand the point of the thread and was willing to be helpful. All you did was tell me not to even bother, completely missing the whole point, and you're acting like an elitist snob over a mere game. I don't see a sign that says "you must be at least this serious about Pokemon to request a team rate!!!"

Why don't you stick to Smogon if you're so against fun?

i honestly ****ing give up with this forum

"this team" is weak to a pokemon
so you need to change it
so if you don't this isn't a crmt
meaning this shouldn't be here

pretty much repeating everything I said, and adding one extra line to it to make things oh-so simpler.

I just want the Pokemon I like to have the most ideal movesets.
Click to expand...

so basically, you can say I take Pokemon/things too seriously for wanting a half decent forum to post in where people LISTEN to advice, or, making it as good as it can be, but you don't by making your team as good as it can be (going by your rules of not changing pokemon, not the ones everybody else uses)

i'll even actually rate this team

I also like complete disregard for natures/evs/hold items, which are some of the main things seperating this forum from in game.

after reading all the edits on your post, I simply repeat;

Thanks for actually acknowledging WHY I posted and giving me a few tips on improving those monsters.........but in the most obnoxious way possible. I cannot believe you have this kind of attitude over a game like POKEMON. Again: there's a reason no-one else here is acting like you. This kind of behavior is why the rest of the world looks down on gamers.

Heck, the only reason I come to Serebii.net is because the people here actually tend to "get it". They don't treat Pokemon like it's a damn religion and normally accept that different people play for different goals.

I'm sorry I ruined the board for you. Why don't you just play chess or risk or something else that doesn't involve monster-collecting? Pokemon wouldn't have graphics in the first place if people weren't expected to have personal tastes and play accordingly.

Well I never would have come to Serebii if I thought it was populated by children with such backwards priorities in life. Now he's PM'ing me just to tell me I'm a moron for the way I play a children's game.

Yeah, I said children's game. Pokemon is a children's game. It's also really fun and there's nothing at all wrong with older people (I'm 23, myself) playing it.

But there's something seriously wrong with cussing up a storm and insulting people just because they aren't as violently determined to win as you are.
 
If you'd actually read it, you would have noticed the "to save your thread from anymore spam from me"

how ironic this post is
 
you see, the thing is, if you play it YOUR way you will most likely lose.
the way YOUR playing it makes it look like this thread belongs in-game.
you lack EVs, Natures, Items, and decent Sets.

This is classic comedy here.

i don't find it funny.

something else that doesn't involve monster-collecting?

maybe you should, as "monster collecting" seems to have taken over your life.

CM > CP on luna.

i like pursuit on spiritomb. come in on AGPsychics and pursuit them on the switch.

But see, the other thing is that I already acknowledge and accept that the Pokemon I use have glaring weaknesses. I don't see the harm in requesting help for the moves. I thought Serebii was more relaxed and normal than Smogon or Gamefaqs where people are completely out of touch with reality.

It doesn't go to "ingame" because I'm going to be using it to have fun on wi-fi like normal gamers. It's not like I'm in a life-or-death contest here. Most people you face on wi-fi will be casual players and children.

That was your second PM. I read it after the above reply.
 
the sets won't help a poke's "glaring weakness". changing the pokemon will.

for example, you have a glarin Tar weakness, as the majority of your pokes are weak to Crunch. their sets won't help this. adding like a Pert, or Skarm, or Donphan, or Dootakun would help.
 
Tyranitar rapes everything I like, but I just accept it. Everything has a counter...I just happen to have a lot.


Taking all advise so far, this little theme team will probably come out like this now:

Lunatone: stealth rock, calm mind, psychic, ice beam

Spiritomb: scheme, pain split, dark pulse, shadow ball or confuse ray

Carnivine: sleep powder, swords dance, crunch, power whip

Gliscor: swords dance, earthquake, aerial ace, feather rest

Mismagius: calm mind, pain split, thunderbolt, shadow ball

Weezing: will O' wisp, sludge bomb, haze, pain split/explosion
