[SS] Help?

[Suihou]

I'm playing SoulSilver and I'm slowly preparing my team to use in Kanto and the Elite Four. I tried my best to make it balances, but I'm sure I've missed something.

I'm thinking of replacing my Haunter with Miltank or a Sneasel/Weavile since I have no means of evolving it.

I'm open for suggestions concerning attacks, items or even replacing party members. Also, I don't have a problem with using TMs as I do not plan to participate in the metagame.

Don't use Gyro Ball unless you're using a Pokemon that's slower than a Slowpoke's reaction time.





btw, you put the emote for Onix instead of Haunter xD

Gengar
Modest/Timid Nature
~Shadow Ball
~Thunderbolt
~Focus Blast
~Energy Ball

No need to use a Dark move and a Ghost move in 1 Pokemon, both covers almost the same thing (apart from Normal, which you can defeat with the other moves anyway).


Rhyperior
Impish/Adamant Nature
~Swords Dance
~Megahorn
~Earthquake
~Stone Edge

 

[Final]

^ Rhyperior doesn't get the Rock Head ability. Regardless, Aqua Tail works as a decent filler move on Rhyperior to cover opposing Ground Types. Lapras may also want Thunder Wave over Safeguard to help compensate for its low Speed.

lol thanks - I wonder how can I forgot about that part on Rhyperior.
I'll edit my post.

Thank you! I'm not very familiar with the attacks from the 4th Generation. However, as I'm unable to trade, I will be able to get neither Rhyperior nor Gengar. Would these movesets work with Rhydon and Haunter?

Also, fixed the emote!

Thank you, too! Putting Thunder Wave on Lapras is a good idea, I didn't think of it.

Hmm, since you can't trade.....then that means Rhydon gets access to Rock Head, which means Double-Edge is usable xD

Well, the moveset for Rhyperior can be used by Rhydon, but for Haunter, it can't use Focus Blast, so you'll have to use another move instead. Hypnosis or Will-o-Wisp are two good options you can use.
