Nah, it's for singles and I'm already set on the moveset. I gave it Moody for that reason. I just need help teaching it its moves.

I tried. Everyone wants Legendaries for those two... :(

In that case, I'd put something up on the GTS and ask for a Stantler/Girafarig - in personal experience, it usually works better that way. Put up some Friend Safari Pokemon - surprisingly, my friend and I have found that Elekid is quite wanted, if you can get hold of one of those.

Anyway, just realised yesterday that I've got three Pokemon playthroughs going on right now. Diamond, FireRed and Y. I only just started FireRed a few days ago, after I completed Emerald, and I've only reached Viridian City. I chose Squirtle, but I think I'm going to ditch it and try out Golduck as my water-type instead. The first Pokemon I'm planning to catch is Oddish, once I reach Cerulean.

Sounds cool Roseheart. I'm going to be starting a Black playthrough with a friend on Serebii. Net Forums- TheSirPeras. We've done stuff like this before. I'd love to play my LeafGreen or Emerald except my DS is broken and I can't play it on there. Might have to buy a new one actually. We'll see. Anyway, he's chosen to start with Snivy, and I'll be starting with Oshawott. What my team will be, I do not know.

Emboar - Seismitoad - Archeops - Amoonguss - Vanilluxe - Haxorus

Meanwhile, I've decided to just go with my Argonian Dragonslayer. He'll be doing the Main Quest, Dark Brotherhood, Companions, Thieves Guild, Dawnguard or Volkihar and Dragonborn. I swapped Alchemy for Conjuration though- Necromancy is badass, and I don't give a damn that it's evil. This is my character.

Name: Prowls-In-Shadows
Race: Argonian (Vampire if I go Volkihar)
Gender: Male
Skills: Sneak - Archery - One Handed - Smithing - Conjuration - Light Armor
Apparel: Full set of Dragonscale Armor
Weapon(s): Dragonbone Bow & Dragonbone Arrows + 2x Dragonbone War Axes (dual wielding)

Just bred my Shiny Adamant Honedge! It's so ****ing badass. Took 86 eggs via Masuda Methoding. 18 were 5 perfect IVs bar Special Attack, the rest were a jumble. They are being Wonder Traded. I've also put my spare Yveltal up on the GTS. Hoping to eventually get a Hasty one.

I'm going to be making a UU Beta X/Y team. I will need:

- A solid Defensive and Offensive core/duo.
- A Spinner/Defog user
- A Hazard setter

Just setting stuff out. Slowbro + Amoonguss might be a good Defensive Regenerator Core. Tell me what you think?

Guys I've just started playing The Room Two. It's an amazing game by the way. Try it out.

Snivy why are you scraping the team D:

Driving myself batty
Why am I scrapping everything I possibly do? No idea. I'm a planner. I plan things, but don't stick by them; replace it with a new project if you will. I need help with making a team, should I go Ubers/OU/UU/whatever. I don't know.

I need to plan a Black team, because the previous one didn't interest me. Think I'll start with Snivy, because Serperior is awesome. I need a Flying type, a Water type, a Fire type and 2 others. I'm thinking of using Chandelure/Darmanitan as my Fire type, and Seismitoad/Carracosta as my Water type. Flying type could be Unfezant/Sigilyph/Archeops(what a poor selection...).

Serperior - Seismitoad - Archeops - Chandelure - Accelgor - Bisharp

Anyway, screw that UU team. I feel like making a Ubers team. But I'll need help. Maybe the whole community here on THT would help?

Did an Alignment test for RPGs. I'm True-Neutral. Pretty cool.

Based on the Elder Scrolls Wiki lore on the 10 playable races, I'm most like an Argonian. Interesting. Loyal, calm, intelligent, good swimmers, hard to trust yet worthwhile to know. Good balance of stealth and magic. Love it.

So I'm thinking of starting a Wi-Fi team around an Interesting Lapras set I saw.

131.png


Lapras@Grip Claw
Calm nature with Water Absorb
252 HP/ 4 SpA/ 252 SpD

-Whirlpool
-Perish Song
-Freeze Dry
-Safeguard/Sheer Cold

Im giving it Whirlpool and a Grip claw to use Perish song and successfully trap and KO its opponents​


What do you guys think? Any Suggestions?

I really like that idea. Is protect an option? Maybe over Safeguard/Sheer Cold, and then just have something with aromatherapy on your team?

Protect would work I will try that I am currently testing it on PS. I still need team members. hmm what should I add...

I think Ill add MegaZard Y

006-my.png

Charizard@Charizardite-Y
Drought with a Timid Nature

-Air Slash
-Solarbeam
-Fire Blast
-Dragon Pulse

He is on one of my most successful teams on PS, I really love this set.​

Doesn't that weaken Whirlpool? Seems kind of counter-initiative. Interesting set though. Kind of gimmicky?

I like the idea of Charizard Mega though. I'd like to make a Sun team, so why not now?

6-my.png

Charizard @ Charizardite Y
Ability: Blaze ~ Drought
EVs: 4 HP / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
- Fire Blast
- Solarbeam
- Focus Blast
- Roost

This is my favourite CharY set. With no hazards on your side, and Sticky Web + Stealth Rock on the opponents, it's going to be an easy win. Fire/Flying has actually decent typing, being able to come in quite easily with 6 resistances, including priority hits like Bullet Punch and Mach Punch. Stealth Rock does slightly damper that though. Fire Blast in Sun going from a base 159 Special Attack will dent to say the least. Not even Dragon types want to take that hit. And for the Water types or the Rock types that do, there's Solarbeam, which destroys your Rotom- W and Azumarill. Focus Blast blows Heatran out of the water, 2HKOing even Specially Defensive variants. It also puts a dent in most TTar, even in Sand. Roost is for longevity, which for a weather Pokémon is needed. Dragon Pulse is for Latias/Latios, who wall this Zard.

Now for teammates. Tyranitar is a problem for this team, as it has pretty good Special bulk. Hippo doesn't, and so isn't a problem. Fast Scarfers like Garchomp and Landorus could be problems. I need hazards as well, to get some KOs. Mamoswine could be a decent teammate. Immune to Electric, appreciates its Water weakness weakened (but doesn't like the Fire boost), can set up hazards and beats up Garchomp, Landorus and TTar. With Thick Fat Mamoswine doesn't fear Fire and Ice attacks as much as it did (still got a weakness though). Could work. Excadrill spins, and the spinblockers it doesn't like are scorched by Charizard. Landorus- T is a problem for TTar and Garchomp, and maybe Landorus as well provided it doesn't have HP Ice (which it rarely does). Latias and Latios are slight issues, countered decently by Mamoswine. Aegislash beats them better, as do TTar and Scizor.

Options:
Mamoswine
Scizor/Aegislash
Excadrill
Landorus- T

OMG just wrecked some guy using Yvetal and Mewtwo Y at the same time. Had them both stuck in the final turn of Gengar's Trick Room, Mewtwo went down to Iron Fist Golurk Shadow Punch, Yvetal was taken out by Granbull's Play Rough.

Snivy: Mamoswine FTW!

I found an easier way to teach moves to my smeargle than double battles! THE FRIEND SAFARI! Go to one with a smeargle, encounter one, teach it a move, then sketch the move with your smeargle!!

Mamoswine has really good synergy with MegaZard Y. Even with DPulse, Charizard still has trouble taking down dragons and Mamoswine efficiently takes down that specific type. However, they both hate Stealth Rock :/
 

snivy trainer

Driving myself batty
Mamo takes as much as any Pokémon who doesn't resist Rock takes (Ground counters the Ice weakness to Rock). I don't know though. Might as well go for it.

Mamoswine @ Focus Sash
Ability: Thick Fat
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Stealth Rock
- Ice Shard
- Icicle Crash
- Earthquake

This is walled by Rotom- W and faster stuff like Terrakion, Keldeo and Scizor don't really care about Ice Shard. Scizor doesn't count because Charizard shits on its ***. Keldeo doesn't like weakened Water attacks and can 2HKO with Hydro Pump, but is 0HKOed by Solarbeam. Terrakion is 0HKOed by Solarbeam, but 0HKOes back with Stone Edge. Mamoswine (Focus Sash intact) can remove Terrakion with EQ. It can't beat Keldeo. Keldeo is a problem. Most of Mamo's checks/counters are beaten by Zard anyway, bar Rotom- W. Rotom- W and Keldeo are problems. I need a Keldeo/Rotom- W check. A Grass type. Or Gastrodon. Celebi and Trevenant work well, Trevenant benefiting from the Sun with its Harvest Ability and maybe a Chesto-Rest set or Lum Berry + Rest set (seeing as Lum removes any status without resorting to Rest) or even Sitrus Berry + Harvest. Celebi is just beast, and quite bulky as well. I'm leaning towards Trev though, because he also spinblocks (**** you Excadrill).

Trevenant @ Lum Berry / Sitrus Berry / Chesto Berry
...

I'm really happy Pokebank is out, but I lost all my Pikemon games except SS and Y. They were in a travel case and I misplaced it somewhere in my house and I can't find it anywhere. :(

That is annoying.

Needed to finish my Trevenant set.

Trevenant @ Lum Berry
Ability: Harvest
EVs: 252 HP / 80 Def / 176 SpD
Careful Nature
- Will 'O Wisp
- Rest
- Horn Leech
- Leech Seed

Seems pretty good. Can take some hits pretty well, burns annoying stuff, etc. Lum Berry makes Trevenant a better Rotom- W check as Rotom can't really burn Trevenant know.

So my team is:

6-my.png

Charizard @ Charizardite Y
Ability: Blaze ~ Drought
EVs: 4 HP / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
- Fire Blast
- Solarbeam
- Focus Blast
- Roost

473.png

Mamoswine @ Focus Sash
Ability: Thick Fat
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Stealth Rock
- Ice Shard
- Icicle Crash
- Earthquake

709.png

Trevenant @ Lum Berry
Ability: Harvest
EVs: 252 HP / 80 Def / 176 SpD
Careful Nature
- Will 'O Wisp
- Rest
- Horn Leech
- Leech Seed

Excadrill could be an issue, especially Air Balloon as Mamoswine loses to it 1 v 1. Trevenant can be 2HKOed by Iron Head and Charizard fears Rock Slide. Most other problems are checked. I need to remove hazards from my side. Badly. So a spinner (I can't afford to run a Defog user as Mamo is only guaranteed to get Rocks up once). Spinners off the top of my head are Excadrill, Starmie, Forretress, Hitmontop and Donphan. Based on weaknesses, I have:

Fire x2 (Zard counters)
Water x2 (Trev counters)
Ghost
Dark
Rock (no resists)

Hitmontop does OK here, as does Starmie ('Top resists Rock and Dark, Starmie resists Fire and Water. Starmie is weak to Ghost/Dark though).

Emboar - Leavanny - Carracosta - Sigilyph - Eelektross - Haxorus

They really ought to have made it free due to the issues they gave us, especially since it doesn't make sense to charge for something we've been doing for free since 4th Gen.


I need an opinion on this crazy idea of mine. It's a Gengar and Mienshao technique of parisitism. Mienshao uses rest to heal its injuries, then Gengar uses Dream Eater on Mienshao to heal itself while inflicting damage to Mienshao. Mienshao then uses Sleep Talk, giving it the potential to use U-Turn, which causes it to swap out with another pokemon on my team, activating the ability Regenerator which heals it by 1/3 its max health

Wow, now that I've transferred my pokemon, I have about ten more pokemon I can use. Including Hydreigon, Gliscor, Rotom-W, Kyogre... Plus a bunch of sweet events and stuff!
