This Account is Unplayable Posted November 5, 2011 Report Share Posted November 5, 2011 So I'm actually getting back into competitive pokemon. Like a boss. Also, am I the only one who thinks the wifi tourney will seriously flop the first round or two? Idk if it's been going on, but that's what would seem likely to happen.

Tentacruel Posted November 13, 2011 Report Share Posted November 13, 2011 I'm not quite sure. I think I was in the top 500. Edit: Yeah, 447. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admiral Tim Posted November 13, 2011 Report Share Posted November 13, 2011 I'm not quite sure. I think I was in the top 500. Edit: Yeah, 447. That's quite good. Considering the thousands of children out there playing pokemon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Berserker- Posted November 20, 2011 Report Share Posted November 20, 2011 Good training spots for lv~64~ in Pokemon White? Too big for fighting wild pokemon and too small for elite4 rematch. Or should I just try to beat as much of the pokemon of the Elite4 until I am defeated and then just try again? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flame Dragon Posted April 4, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 4, 2012 Because people seem to want to talk general pokemon again, lets bring this back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tentacruel Posted April 4, 2012 Report Share Posted April 4, 2012 Welcome back Pokemanz! *Glomps thread* So I got dominated in the latest Wi-fi tourney. I'm sticking with story mode for a while now. >.> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DARKPLANT RISING Posted April 4, 2012 Report Share Posted April 4, 2012 Recently everyone around me started playing the game again for no real apparent reason, so I jumped on the bandwagon and wiped the dust off my DS. I think I suck at making good teams (at least, my experience from Yugioh tells me that people who've almost never used the internet to help play a game are always terrible), but YCM is the only forum in the world I can trust, so I want advice. Right now I have a EV-trained Garchomp, Metagross, Gengar, Tyranniar, Gyarados, and Alakazam. Right now this is my normal team I use against friends when it's 6 V.S. 6, and it wins enough, but I think I can do better. I want some advice on it - what this would be bad against in a match-up against good people, and how to make it better, etc. Also, if it's 3 V.S. 3, I use the first three listed in my team. I find this best given they don't have a shared weakness, but if there are better options, can anyone tell me? Thanks. NOTE-My software is Diamond, but I'm prolly gonna buy either B2 or W2. So feel free to give me advice using Pokemon from Black or White (assuming B and W 2s are remakes). Rep to good advice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So feel free to give me advice using Pokemon from Black or White (assuming B and W 2s are remakes). Rep to good advice. Well, it would help if you showed movesets, but it's workable for now. Garchomp I assume your Garchomp is a physical sweeper. Something like 252 Atk/252 Spd/4 HP. Or similar. Moves are basically Outrage; Earthquake, Dragon Claw/Fire Fang, and Stone Edge. It's generally a good sweeper, so I have no complaints on your choice here. Works best in sand though, if you feel like using sand. Choice Scarf, Choice Band or Leftovers as item. Metagross Since you have Metagross too, I would suggest using sand with Tyranitar as lead or something (so swap Garchomp with Tyranitar and then swap Garchomp with Gengar). Just because Metagross is best at finishing up games by ripping everything up (providing everything's already kinda injured). Still, it can work as a good standard sweeper. Just normal sweeper EVs with Bullet Punch, Meteor Mash, Earthquake and something else you want. Stealth Rock's a cool option. Works well with Garchomp as they compliment each other well as sweepers. Gengar Gengar is a great special sweeper overall so it's not hard to see why you chose it. I have no complaints here at all because it helps a lot with match-ups. Providing you're using a standard Psychic, Shadow Ball or something moveset. Tyranitar Yeah, I like this. Stick this as the first pokémon out and you pretty much win. Normal order is probably Tyranitar, wait till it dies, send out Garchomp, sweep, send out anything you want but Metagross, wait till you're winning and send out Metagross to finish up. Tyranitar is a cool tank, by the way. You should be able to run it any way you like, since it's perfectly capable at a lot. Gyrados Should be good as a secondary sweeper. Not many complaints here since you can run it how you like. Alakazam eeeeeeh. Well, Gengar already provides a lot of special help here, and Alakazam acts as an inferior Gengar. Replace it with a tank or something. Tangrowth or Jirachi, or Gliscor, are really fun disruptive pokémon to use. Tangrowth: Ability: Whatever you likeEVs: 252 HP / 4 SAtk / 144 Def / 108 SpdTimid Nature (+Spd, -Atk)- Sleep Powder- Giga Drain- Leech Seed- Hidden Power [Fire] Something similar to that. Jirachi: Ability: Serene GraceEVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 SpdAdamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)- Iron Head- Trick- Ice Punch- Fire Punch Gliscor: Ability: Sand VeilEVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 SpdAdamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)- Earthquake- Substitute- Swords Dance- Acrobatics Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DARKPLANT RISING Posted April 4, 2012 Report Share Posted April 4, 2012 Thanks. I'll neg Alakazam for Tangrowth, I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
