Very cool but if you're trying to take on competitive Wi-Fi you'll need a Spinner. Also you have no Defensive Wall. It would be better to change Dusk into Physical wall and use a Snorlax or Blissey in its place (Tentacruel would also be viable). To do that you should probably take out Tyranitar. This will also lower your Choice count and Choice Items are bad for beginners because you need to be very good at prediction to use them properly.

^Don't be impationt, just wait.

 

Having two of the same species breaks competitive Species Clause. Don't forget that there's an option on WiFi to bump your Pokes level up to 100 so training to gain levels is unecessary unless it to evolve it. If by type you meant like Water or Grass then occasionaly it can work. For example Swampert and Gyradose can go together because they share none of the same weaknesses, or as another example Venasaur and Drapion.

Rotom doesn't need an AR code.......

 

Then how do you get into the room without an AR?

I thought it was an event.

 

It is Event. If you can't wait then You Need An AR.

 

Rotom is in the old chateu, he means getting rotom, not the forms.

alright' date=' i want to keep TTar in the mix, but is it possible to make Swampert a physical sweeper?

if so, how?

[/quote']

Swampert can work as a physical sweeper, but not very well. He is just to slow to be able to make a big enough whole in the team. He is a great tank.

You don't really need a spinner. None of my teams have one and most teams I face on shoddy are the same.

 

I say he keeps Tyranitar and uses that as his special wall/tank. Don't forgot that with sandstom in play wis SpD is 50% higher.

So for the new TTar I say

Item: Leftovers

Nature: Careful

EV:

Wall: 252 HP / 152 SpD / 100 Def (the 100 defence lets him take more of a pounding from both sides. You can always move those to SpD.

Tank: 252 HP/ 152 SpD/ 100 Atk

This move set should work well for both EV spreads.

- Crunch

- Stealth Rock

- Earthquake

- Substitute

 

Also I say drop Dragonite for Salamence. For him try something like

Salamence

~ Draco Meteor

~ Flamethrower

~ Brick Break

~ Roost / Crunch

EV: 80 Atk / 252 SpA / 176 Spe

Item: Life Orb

Nature: Rash

 

Weavile really isn't needed since you have TTar giving Dark attacks and Sal/Dragonite taking care of other Dragon. In his place I say get a steel type so you have something to take Dragon attacks. Bronzong works well their. For him I say go with

EV: 252 HP / 86 Atk / 80 Def / 92 SpD

Nature: Sassy

Item: Leftovers

~ Gyro Ball

~ Explosion

~ Hypnosis

~ Earthquake

Urgh one of those random a$$ed wall breaker Salamences that TAG uses. You're probably right about not having a specific Spinner but just something that has it, just in case. tentacruel for example can support and act as a Spinner when necessary.

Wall Breakers are great. Normally when making a team you start with what pokemon you want to use and what you want that pokemon to do. From their you fill in wholes. Tentacruel doesn't fill in that whole that well. Also people should mainly use Rapid Spinner if their team is weak to Stealth Rock.

 

Also, since I'm to lazy to pm you, up for a battle on shoddy Felix? I want to test out my new, IRL, Plat team before I finish it off.

Mmm... I would but wouldn't you want to save it for the tourney if at any point we battle then? I'll be using a completely different team when we battle on Wi-Fi so I'd have a slight upper hand. How's it been doing on win average so far?

I can't finish the team since I can't get my Diamond pokemon over to Platinum. Also I haven't even started training them.

 

The win record isn't so much the problem. More so I want to see how my new pokemon do compaired to the ones I once had. One of them is a lot better now, but the other 2 are kind of on the fence about. I know that you know my team so I want to see what you have to say.

 

Also, for those that don't know he're talking about a pokemon simulator. It is really good if you want to test out teams/ideas/changes with out making them.

OK then' date=' I need some good practice.

[/quote']

 

k. I'm on.

 

Also, for any one that has shoddy I'm .Blaze.

 

So I battled Felix and lost. Thing is things might have been different since I forgot to give the first pokemon he killed any attack IVs. Man that was stupid. I'm not going to give away my new pokemon.

Felix' date=' what're your opinions on having 2 of the same type in a team? Cause really, my team would have 2 Infernape's until I get better pokemon. A Level 100 and a Level 67.

[/quote']

You usually DON'T want to use 2 Pokemon of the same type, but there are some exceptions.

Like having a Fire/Flying and a Fire/Rock.

Also, if the 2 Pokemon with the same types do different things(one is psychical and good in Attack / SP Attack, and one has TONS of HP / Defense), then that'll work.

I learned that playing my brother. =D

Yes it's a game but why would you want to be betean in it? I consider Pokemon fun and a hobby but that doesn't mean I can do what I want and still hope to win against stronger opponents. It's exactly the same as Yugioh, you make a bad Deck you get betean and eg/ not as fun as it would be if you had a good deck and won a lot.
