Smile HD Posted February 24, 2014 Report Share Posted February 24, 2014 Is there like a meta-team in Pokémon? Like a set of 6 Pokémon with the best chance of winning? I've always wondered, never looked into it (or knew how to). Also, I finally added you, Taiga/Point-After-AttemptHere you go.It's GenV, but it's generally similar. Mix and match.

Agro Posted February 24, 2014 Report Share Posted February 24, 2014 [Here you go.](http://www.smogon.com/bw/tiers/ou) It's GenV, but it's generally similar. I was not referring to any specific Pokémon individually. Whenever I look into Smogon, the most I get out of it is "here are the OU pokémon, and here's what you should look for in a team using them". Nothing along the lines of "Having X, Y, and Z in the same team is OP, here's why". Everything is talked about individually. What I was asking about was whether a set of Pokémon (or a small group of different sets), all OU (which really makes that link unhelpful), stands above the rest.

Smile HD Posted February 24, 2014 Report Share Posted February 24, 2014 Anything that does stand significantly above the rest goes into suspect and is usually subsequently banned to Ubers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flash Flyer - Sakura Posted February 24, 2014 Report Share Posted February 24, 2014 Most version mascots are banished to Ubers (only exceptions are FRLG and the Gen 1 games). Kyurem-B is OU though (even though it's on cover of Black 2) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Warden Posted February 25, 2014 Report Share Posted February 25, 2014 In Y getting the Zangoose is easy. Just have a high level Pokemon use Ominous Wind. It'll hit all the Seviper and Zangoose will be unharmed thanks to that handy dandy ghost immunity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flame Dragon Posted February 25, 2014 Report Share Posted February 25, 2014 Because I didn't learn last time, I'm breeding for a second female Eevee, only this time I'm also looking for a HA (going to be Espeon). So far I've gotten 2 that the only thing keeping me from my perfect was the coin flip to determine HP. This makes me sad, though it tells me it is just a matter of time. Though of course next time I'm going to end up with a perfect only I won't have the HA. Anyway, I'm looking to breed a Think Fat Mamoswine soon after this so if anyone can send me the HA for it I'd be happy to repay you with a reject male perfect. I also have a handful of others I can trade if Espeon doesn't interest you.I was not referring to any specific Pokémon individually.

Flame Dragon Posted February 25, 2014 Report Share Posted February 25, 2014 are you ruben? No, I'm Mike or Blaze (not sure what name comes up). As I said I spent most of the day breeding for an Espeon so I'm not going to be on again until tomorrow afternoon. I'm not in any rush so don't worry.

Cin Posted February 25, 2014 Report Share Posted February 25, 2014 Nearly planned my next in game team Serperior : Energy Ball, Toxic Talonflame (Gale Wings): Fly (need), Flame Charge, Aerial Ace/Acrobatics (depends if I give hold item) Gyarados: (Mega) Earthquake, Ice Fang, Bite?, Surf (until I get Waterfall) Haunter (Everstone): Shadow Ball, Sludge Bomb, Psychic, Dark Pulse Dragagle: Dragon Pulse, Sludge Bomb, Thunderbolt (?) No idea on the last member. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flash Flyer - Sakura Posted February 25, 2014 Report Share Posted February 25, 2014 I have a lot of Pokes that I use on teams so no real set ones, but here's what I have on current. (Yes, it does involve [Pokebank] legendaries to some degree and are interchanged at times) Espeon: Psychic / Shadow Ball / Dazzling Gleam / Calm Mind Latias (Life Orb): Draco Meteor / Psychic / Shadow Ball / Roost/Recover Latios (Specs/Orb): Draco Meteor / Psyshock / Surf / "rm" Reshiram: Blue Flare / Dragon Pulse / Outrage / "rm" Zapdos: Thunderbolt / HP Dragon / Agility / "rm" Lucario (Ruka-M; Mega): Close Combat / Aura Sphere / Extreme Speed / Earthquake (Yeah, can't do much against most Ghost Pokes; need to add in a Steel STAB to cover for it) Terrakion (Choice Band/Life Orb) : Close Combat / Stone Edge / Earthquake / Swords Dance Xerneas: Moonblast / Close Combat / Night Slash / Geomancy Yveltal: Sucker Punch / Oblivion Wing / Dark Pulse / "rm" Jolteon: Thunderbolt / Shadow Ball / Thunder Wave / Discharge Arcanine: Flare Blitz / Outrage / Crunch / Wild Charge Sylveon: Moonblast / Psyshock / Shadow Ball / HP Ground (Since Roost is in a lot of their movesets, I'm abbreviating it as "rm" [recovery move]) I'm training some other stuff like Heatran and a few others to cover up the weaknesses I have in this (especially since I usually have both Eons and that just exacerbates the 6 weaknesses both of them share). Should get rid of Swords Dance on Terra if I'm going to be using a CB variant and add a 4th attacking move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cin Posted February 25, 2014 Report Share Posted February 25, 2014 Going for in-game team of: Talonflame (HA): Fly, Flame Charge, Acrobatics/Aerial Ace, Steel Wing Haunter (Everstone) Dark Pulse, Psychic, Sludge Bomb, Shadow Ball Gyarados (Mega) Bite, Earthquake, Waterfall, Ice Fang Serperior: Energy Ball/Leaf Blade, Toxic, Return, Dragon Tail (will probably aim for Phy nature baby, otherwise I'll need to search Spl moves) Dragalge: Sludge Bomb, Dragon Pulse, Scald, Thunderbolt Rampardos: Earthquake, Zen Headbutt, Brick Break, Stone Edge (Wanna raise it in honor of one on my lost Soul Silver game) Debated Archeops instead of Rampardos, but Defeatist doesn't look fun and Kabutops cannot learn EQ, But I did want a fossil Pokemon for my final and I'd raised Tyrantrum. Gonna make it easy and aim for Adamant on Phy, and Modest on Spl. If I can be bothered, but I've listed natues on my paper to avoid because they reduce the stat I don't want reducing.

The Warden Posted February 25, 2014 Report Share Posted February 25, 2014 I'm still trying to breed my Froakies, but finding the Female Frogadiers with the nature I need AND Protean is being a bit of a pain, since the game just loves trolling you with an endless storm of crappy natures. In fact, I know the game is trying to work against me. With 4 straight Frogadiers I caught, their natures were: Rash, Serious, Rash, Serious. I am NOT joking.

Cin Posted February 25, 2014 Report Share Posted February 25, 2014 That is the first thing I thought. I mean sure Animal Crossing isn't struggling like that. Will make my team tomorrow, I have work at 5am, so I don't really have time to build today and get sleep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flash Flyer - Sakura Posted February 25, 2014 Report Share Posted February 25, 2014 While I would like another 3DS for the purposes for trading stuff between games and getting Y (though I could always ask in statuses if I need help with trade evolving Pokes), parents say it's a waste of money [and none of the needed games really appeal to me]. I still gotta register my 3DS anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cin Posted February 25, 2014 Report Share Posted February 25, 2014 I wouldn't partake in that deal in the UK, since I have 2 3Ds, and play nothing on them outside Pokemon (or Style Boutique), I love to be able to trade with myself since after my friend's parents split up I've had to rely on myself for trading since she no longer visits where I live, and the second console means any events I can grab twice.

Jake the Sage Posted February 25, 2014 Report Share Posted February 25, 2014 Actually it's a way to just promote the 3DS. Most people have only bought the 3DS because of the new Pokemon games. So Nintendo decided to include a free one with every system as long as you buy another game. That means they're making money on the system and the game you just bought, not to mention the chances are now very good you'll buy more physical copies of the game or download them from the e-shop. It's actually quite an ingenious plan in some respects. PS: Anyone want a shiny Metagross, Charizard, Garchomp, and/or Kangaskhan for a legendary Pokemon? All are level 100 . . .
