lv 51 Zekrom vs. Cynthia's entire team. I think I can do this.

HA! Good Luck I tried that with Level 47-54s and Garchomp murdered my Haxorus...and the rest of my team.

 

I might design a U-Turn Team filled with Mienshoas that know regenerate get them to Level 70 and have Haxorus. Shouldn't be that hard with Lucky Egg Grinding.

Bold isn't bad since you really won't be using his ATK.

 

Doesn't Hydreigon have a Base 100 Attack? I mean, it can always use Dragon Claw or Crunch or something, so it's not like Bold is the best nature, even in-game where it doesn't matter.

 

Maybe its physical movepool is terrible and I'm just in the dark. :/

It's 105 actually so yea, he can pull of a physical set. But again, you can just ignore that since his special is even better.

 

Also, he doesn't learn claw but he does learn outrage. Over all his physical pool is good, but special is to so you don't really loss something. Yea, it's not good, but it isn't bad.

STAB Crunch and Outrage coming from almost anything is enough to warrant a mixed set at the very least. Think about it, a Naive or Hasty mixed Hydreigon with Crunch, Outrage, and two elemental special moves, and not only do you have supreme coverage, you also hit both sides of the spectrum.

 

I've noticed that in this generation more than others, maybe because I'm so proportionally underleveled, attacking the lower defense of the opponent actually does play a role. I've never played a game so underleveled (where the wild Pokemon are like two or three under my lowest actual team member), so maybe you've experienced this "strategy" moment before I have. :/

Last night and throughout today, I've been planning a team for when I get Black/White (I like being prepared besides just deciding while I play the game). This is what I came up with. Well everything except natures and held items, so it's basically movepools. I still need help with the natures/held items and any other fixes you guys have. Note, this is for in-game and competitive.

 

[spoiler=My Planned Team]

Samurott

??? Nature / ??? Held Item

- Swords Dance

- Waterfall

- Aqua Jet

- Megahorn

(I was going for a Physical Samurott, however, I would be happy to change to a Special Samurott (or whatever the term is). I was iffy about having two Water-types on the moveset, but I couldn't think of anything else. Maybe Night Slash? I think Samurott can learn it.)

Krookodile

??? Nature / ??? Held Item

- Crunch

- Earthquake

- Dragon Claw

- Brick Break

(Not much to say here. I'm so-so I guess on it.)

Ferrothorn

??? Nature / ??? Held Item

- Gyro Ball

- Spikes/Stealth Rock

- Toxic

- Leech Seed

(Trying to go with a stalling-like Ferrothron; pretty sure I'm not doing it right.)

Chandelure

??? Nature / ??? Held Item

- Flamethrower

- Shadow Ball

- Energy Ball

- Will-o-Wisp

(I really want to use this pokemon. I think the moveset is pretty nice, but I don't know if it has enough Speed to setup Will-o-Wisp. I'll think about it. Don't you get Energy Ball after the game? If so, I'll defiantly have to find a replacement until I get it.)

Conkeldurr

??? Nature / ??? Held Item

- Bulk Up

- Focus Punch

- Stone Edge

- Earthquake

(I really didn't know what I was doing here. I might scrap the whole movepool, depends on what others think.)

Zebstrika

??? Nature / ??? Held Item

- Wild Bolt

- Thunder Wave

- ???

- ???

(I couldn't think of two other moves, so that is also something I'll be working on. Other than that, not much to say.)

 

Comments under the moves. Yeah, my (planned) team needs some help. Any help would be appreciated.

Yeah, this is great and all, but are you guys properly prepared? Because in this case, you really, really, really don't hafta catch em' all. That's Pokemon for ya.

At years end the speed gamers will catch them all, cause that is how they role.

 

I guess so, but you might need a second opinion.

Second opinion: gogogogogo (and by that I mean do it)

It fails that you cannot poketransfer pokemon that have items on. Leveling a team in this game is sometimes easier and sometimes harder, dependent on what you want to train.

Also, don't forget to unlock the Relocater, "Everyone Happy" "Simple Connection" and send over your lock capsule, your celebi, and your shiny entei/suicune/raikou. The person you talk to is in Castelia city, I can't remember which building though.

Thinking of using a Houndoom in my team, Smogon doesn't go upto V yet (I was looking for some ideas), anyone get any ideas on nature, and moves. I know Houndoom is a Spl Atk, and I'm not thinking about EV training (too lazy for that), or working on getting Hidden Power set to a certain type.
