Posted March 26, 201214 yr So I've heard that a lot of people play Pokémon on Wi-Fi. And with the Wi-Fi Pokémon Tournament coming up, all of our pokémons need some tuning.

But I still have 1 question Why the Dual Chop on Haxorus? Edited March 26, 201214 yr by Sora's Little Helper
March 26, 201214 yr Just one thing. Espeon has Magic Bounce? The rest is fine. Yes? Entire point of having it Send it in on a suspected stealth rock or other entry hazards and status effects... and watch your opponent squirm in agony. But i this is my former team... i spent quite a long time to make and got quite a few wins with it but... i dropped my DS T_T A month of hard work gone to waste--- Still use this team on PO when i feel like it...

March 26, 201214 yr Author Yes? Entire point of having it Send it in on a suspected stealth rock or other entry hazards and status effects... and watch your opponent squirm in agony. So you got your Espeon from the Dream World huh? I still don't understand why can't I acess the Dream World
March 26, 201214 yr Well, this is what I used in the International Tournament, all have been raised and EV trained by me. Keep in mind, this team is for Double Battles. Ferrothorn (Spiky) (First lead) Forretress (Shelly) (Second Lead) Infernape (Son Goku) Lucario (Lucas) Hydreigon (Hydra) Gliscor And here are the move lists Ferrothorn Ability: Iron Barbs Item: Leftovers Gyro Ball Spikes Leech Seed Protect Forretress Abilty: Sturdy Item: Shed Shell Volt Switch Rapid Spin Spikes Toxic Spikes Infernape Ability: Blaze Item: Focus Sash Overheat Close Combat Fake Out Encore Lucario Ability: Inner Focus Item: Life Orb Close Combat Extremespeed Cruch Detect Hydreigon Ability: Levitate Item: Expert Belt Draco Meteor Fire Blast Focus Blast Dark Pulse Gliscor Ability: Poison Heal Item: Toxic Orb Earthquake Ice Fang Swords Dance Protect
March 27, 201214 yr Oh ok you edited. But I still have 1 question Why the Dual Chop on Haxorus? Mainly because people still used focus sashes... And the fact that it has double the chance of getting crit hax.
March 27, 201214 yr Author Mainly because people still used focus sashes... And the fact that it has double the chance of getting crit hax. Still Dual Chop doesn't have a high critical hit ratio. You could put X-Scissor in it's place.
March 27, 201214 yr Author Six Pikachus, All with Light Balls and Surf. Domination. If you're playing in Gen 4, because Pokémons with HM moves can't be transfered to B/W from Gen 4. But if so, FATALITY!
March 27, 201214 yr Politoed @ Iron Ball Ability: Drizzle EVs: 252 HP/ 252 SpA/4 SpD Nature: Quiet - Surf - Ice Beam - Encore - Protect A great guy, the bane of weather teams. With this spread he can outslow other weather Pokemon, my biggest problem. He hits Sun (rare) and Sand (semi-common) teams hard with Surf. Ice Beam is for Garchomp and others like him. HP Grass stops meddlesome Gastrodon. Protect allows him to survive the crucial first turn before deciding weather (get it?) to swap him out or not. Excavalier @ Occa Berry Ability: Swarm EVs: 252 HP/ 252 Atk/ 4 SpD Nature: Brave - Megahorn - Iron Head - Substitute - Protect Stange guy, but after getting thrashed by him I have a newfound respect. He hits massively hard, and I usually keep him in the wings so that he doesn't fall too early. I've recently began putting him in the front, but I feel as if the battle moves too slowly with all the Protecting. Megahorn and Iron Head are obvious choices, and Double Edge is only there because of his horrible coverage. Protect allows him to survive turns when Trick Room needs to be used. Rain and Occa Berry assist in keeping him alive against Fire moves. Amoongus @ Mental Herb Ability: Effect Spore EVs: 252 HP/ 4 Def/ 252 SpD Nature: Sassy - Spore - Rage Powder - Giga Drain - Protect The lovable mushroom and a VGC staple. He not only runs interference with Spore, but he protects Trick Room users. Giga Drain to attack and the other moves shouldn't need an explanation. The Rain reduces his weakness to fire, making him extra durrable. Hitmontop @ Life Orb Ability: Technician EVs: 252 HP/ 252 Atk/ 4 SpD Nature: Adamant - Fake Out - Close Combat - Sucker Punch - Detect Speedy, sorta. Also good for hitting first and hard. I like using Hitmontop, but he doesn't seem to pull his weight. I considered replacing him for some other offensive Pokemon b/c there's nobody other than Excaliver that screams POWER!!! -------------------------- Now is where I struggle. I want Trick Room Users, but I feel I need a stronger offense than Politoed and Hitmontop. --------------------------- Musharna @ Leftovers Ability: Telepathy EVs: 252 HP/ 4 SpA / 252 SpD Nature: Sassy -Trick Room -Psychic -Helping Hand -Thunder Wave/Toxic A standard Trick Roomer, with extra skills up her sleeves. With Telepathy, Musharna can avoid Politoed's Surf Recoil and assist it with Helping Hand. Psychic is for when I hit a crisis moment, and Imprison is sometimes useful, but usually filler. Jellicent @ Water Gem Ability: Water Absorb EVs: 252 HP/ 4 Def/ 252 SpA Nature: Quiet -Trick Room -Water Spout -Shadow Ball -Ice Beam A non Psychic Trick Roomer. That was what I needed most for this. Water Spout used in the Rain with Max HP is astounding, allowing Jellicent to fulfill an offensive role too. Shadow Ball and Ice Beam are standard coverage.

All of them are fine, but I don't get one thing. Why does Politoed have an Iron Ball when he doesn't have a Ground type move?
March 28, 201214 yr All of them are fine, but I don't get one thing. Why does Politoed have an Iron Ball when he doesn't have a Ground type move? You've got Iron Ball's effect messed up. It cuts the holder's speed by 50% and for Flying Types or Pokemon with Levatate, it allows them to get hit by Ground Type moves, meaning the holder. And it's kinda obvious, he uses it to make his Politoad even slower, so he can make sure he get's Rain.

March 28, 201214 yr Thanks. I looked at Smogon's guides for OU Pokemon and picked what I thought would be good. I bred for IV's, Nature, and Ability, then trained them and taught them the moves.
March 28, 201214 yr Author Thanks. I looked at Smogon's guides for OU Pokemon and picked what I thought would be good. I bred for IV's, Nature, and Ability, then trained them and taught them the moves. What about serebii.net? I'm getting all the info I need for my pokémons from there. And I never heard about Smogon's guides before. Is it like serebii.net?
March 28, 201214 yr It's kinda like Serebii.net's Pokemon of the Week, but it has every Pokemon and seperates them in the Tiers. I used to use Serebii.net, but it didn't have every Pokemon. Edited March 28, 201214 yr by Azure Flame

March 29, 201214 yr That too, lol. I actually created a team on Pokemon Online that had a Trick Room Reuniclus.

Looking at it right now. It actually has a lot more than Serebii http://kh13.com/forum/public/style_emoticons/default/ohmy.png
March 29, 201214 yr I told you! lol Smogon is more geared toward Competetive Battling than Serebii is, so they have more stuff for it.

Lol, I was the same SLH. I had been on Serebii for years and was complaining about the lack of all the Pokemon, and then I stumbled upon Smogon. I use Serebii for game news, but always Smogon for movesets. I still enjoy POTW though. But I sat with my mouth wide open trying to read all of the Pokemon on Smogon... It was impossible!
