Sarcasm is fun!

Was going to say this.

Why Thunder over Thunderpunch on an Adamant-natured Eletivire... Thunder has worse accuracy than TPunch and even though you are sacrificing power, TPunch is better for your nature. But if you still want to use Thunder, another alternative is TBolt. Again, loss of power but better accuracy. Your choice though.

Thanks! When I used to play I never looked at really mechanics and I played it casually so I never looked at the effects of natures, I'll look at moves and how natures effect them even more. Thankyou!

A DRUM, A DRUM!...
UUUUGgghhhhh................................... *cough cough*

Adamant nature would RAISE attack and LOWER special attack

You use a mixed set in this case but thunder punch > thunder


Metagross@Leftovers
Admant / Clear Body
-Agility
-Earthquake
-Ice Punch
-Meteor Mash

Psychic does absolouteley no good coverage for metagross except for the
STAB. and metagross is more physical base so i left that out. EQ is for
fire types and lots of neutral hits. Ice punch is for bulky grounds that could
threten you. Meteor Mahs is STAB.


Salamance@Choice Specs
Modest / Intimidate
-Hydro Pump
-Flamethrower
-Draco Meter
-Dragon Pulse

Standard crap for this set. You go physical based if u want but i perfer this
specs set much more. hydro pump is a bit in accurate but wtv, it works fine


Weavile@Focus Sash
Adamant
-Ice Punch
-Night Slash
-Swords Dance
-Arial Ace

weaviles special attack is aweful so get rid of ice beam, dark pulse. Ice Punch
still gives you really decent STAB and so does night slash with the critical
hit factor. Arial Ace is for fighting types that will screw you up.



Your team is 5/6 quake edge weak (rock + ground type)
you may wanna consider that........

Thanks for the tips Purple Tangworth, as I said I haven't played for a while and when I did play I wasn't too smart or tactical. I will take everyone's suggestions into account! Thankyou!

*generic countdown*
I would say Curse>Crunch on Torterra, just to beef it up a bit, but that's just me.
