Team Building Help Thread

I suggest you change some moves because some moves you use right now are not very useful. Also consider changing some pokemon as a whole, seeing as you lack some important type resists such as water, fire and flying. I'd get rid of Shuckle and add in a water-type (Empoleon, Suicune, Starmie, Swampert, Vaporeon are all good options). As for move changes:

Blissey: toxic>psychic and seismic toss>ice beam
Forretress: gyro ball>waterfall
Shuckle: pretty sure it can't learn trick room, as I said it is best to replace shuckle as a whole.
Alakazam: focus blast>recover
Ninjask: substitute>earthquake and x-scissor>bug buzz
Spiritomb: Wonder Guard is (unfortunately lol) not a legal ability on spiritomb. Also, sucker punch>ice beam.

The team can be decent once these changes have been made. Hope this helped.

Hi guys ,

Just joined the forums now , I got myself soulsilver on my B'day (4 days back) . So i've been doing my reading and made a team for now , but I think It would be best if I could get some assistance from experienced guys . I am not into competitive matches , just the elite 4 and finishing the game . Below is the planned team (got all of them except gengar which is a haunter now and still got to catch larvitar )

1. Typhlosion
Moves :
Flamethrower (STAB)
Eruption (STAB and super powerful)
Thunderpunch
Dig/Shadowclaw/Earthquake

2. Scizor (Tichnician + Arogant nature)
Iron Head
Night Slash
Bug Bite
Wing Attack /Sword Dance
I think wing attack would be good as it is useful in the Elite 4 + Technician effect . so 60*1.5

3. Tyranitar
Earthquake
Crunch
Thunder Fang
Fire Fang

Earthqauke cause its awesome , crunch for all the ghost/psychics . Thunder Fang for the water and Fire fang for grass ,bug and steel(also helps with ice) .
Looks like almost all the weaknesses are covered . (If not all , atleast most)

4. Lapras
Ice Beam
Surf
Hydro Pump

Decided only on 3 , what should be the 4th ?

5. Gengar
Shadow Ball
Psychic
Brick Break (for against Dark Pokemon)
Destiny Bond (For desperate measures )

6. Ampharos
Thunder Bolt
Signal Beam
Power Gem
Thunder

Well , Thats about it . Do share your views guys !

Happy Playing ,
Fudge

 

Hello my friends.. I need a little help to make up my team.. I have 7 pokemons which are better than others I have.. I will write their names and moves and will expect you to decide which one should I have and moves.. Actually I'm confused between Snorlax, Arcanine and Dragonite .I have ;

Zapdos
-Thunderbolt
-Steel Wings
-Light Screen
-Drill Peck

Golem
-Tackle
-Rock Throw
-Earthquake
-Explosion

Starmie
-Psychic
-Minimize
-Recover
-hydro Pump

Gengar
-Hypnosis
-Dream Eater
-Sludge Bomb
-Shadow Ball

Dragonite
-Thunder Wave
-Agility
-Outrage
-Fire Blast

Snorlax (Irritable nature Phy Def (-) )
-Double Edge
-Fire Punch
-Ice Punch
-Thunder Punch

Arcanine
-Fire Blast
-Solar Beam
-Extreme Speed
-Iron Tail

These are moves and the best pokemons I have. Snorlax is good and has moves I can hit almost every type. But it dies when gets Phy atck.
But Arcanine, I cant benefit well it. I dont know its stats are amazing..
And Dragonite.. I really want to use it..
I'm planning to add Ice Beam to Starmie.. But I dont know which should I replace. Minimize and Recover are good strategy but dont work every time. And I need Ice move to hit Dragonite foes.. I have Blizzard TM but its accuracy is low.
I'm waiting you guys, what should I do?

 

What should I add to this team? (only one Pokemon as of now.)

Lapras
Ability:Shell Armor
Item:Leftovers
Moves:
Mist
Confuse Ray
Body Slam
Perish Song
EVs:???
I'm planning to use it to wreck high-HP havoc with Confuse Ray and Body Slam causing Paralyze, and when HP is low, use Perish song and switch out/let it faint. Mist is just a cover-up move.

I am also new to competitive and have never participated. (Though I did do some research.)
