Dad Posted September 27, 2009 Report Share Posted September 27, 2009 Aerodactyl should be your lead. Without it you don't have one. Starmie isn't really a sweeper' date=' it just doesn't have the power; it's better as a revenge killer.[/quote']Aero is a great lead, but so is Roserade. However I think Rose can also work in a later slot in the team Is what I figured but I was going to suggest dropping Roserade over Tentcruel. Starmie is a very able sweeper. A large move pool, good special attack and great speeds give him all he needs. Give it a Life Orb and it's going to hurt. Unless you give it Hydro Pump, Thunder, Blizzard and something else, it doesn't it hard enough to properly sweep, even then it's still lack luster. If you do give it those moves it then becomes very unreliable. Revenge killer or a utility Pokemon in my eyes, they're are better options for a sweeper. Call me mad for stepping up to Felix but seriously, LO Surf from modest 252 spA Starmie + the STAB kills hundreds of stuff, some that resist it too. It is a good revenge killer, but still, it's capable of sweeping whole teams. oh and the speed of starmie is great too. and its a great DDGyara counter. I could be wrong with all of this, but still. Classic Starmie sweeper was @ Petaya SurfIce BeamThunderboltPsychic Most EVs in SpATK and Speed, while everything else went to HP. It's still pretty sticky IMO.You wouldn't use Petaya since it can be hard to get it to go off. Life Orb is a better item. Sub-Starmie could sweep with Petaya, with 101 hp substitutes. It was a sort of replica of Sub-CalmMind Kyogre, but better.1) It can't get 101 HP subs >_>2) How the hell is this better then ANY pokemon that does a sub plus stat up. This can't use a stat up move so here your limited to cutting your HP till your near dead just to get one boost. With others you can get the same boost with 1 sub. Some times you can get a couple of boost in before even the first sub breaks. Also most of the time the boost would be better since it comes with more. Perfect example is Calm Mind also ups defence. Maybe it's because I'm still in Emerald. xD If I had other options for my Starmie to hold I'd use them, but for now, I'm stuck with Petaya. >.> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keera Posted October 3, 2009 Report Share Posted October 3, 2009 Okay. I chose Chimchar...Because it's one of the only fire-types until Endgame. Me likey fire-types Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flame Dragon Posted October 3, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 3, 2009 So some news on what you may see with the new tier lisst is the Aggron is likely to be in the top 50. Or at least top 60. This is thanks to his new STAB allowing him to do massive damage. Also Crobat might be higher thanks to it getting Super Fang. Again I'll post the list when it comes up.

Lazer Yoshi Posted October 6, 2009 Report Share Posted October 6, 2009 ^ That's AWESOME. =DAnyways, I'd go Squirtle: Does great in first Gym; just pick up a Pikachu before-wise to deal with Misty.You can also go Bulbasaur for the first 2 Gyms being quite easy; it may not be as easy later on.Charmander doesn't do so well in the first 2 Gyms, but it's Stats and Moves definetely make it worth it later on in the game. It's power in the beginning can also help with the ton of trainers in Viridian Forest, since the Pokemon there are Bug-Type. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just remember this one time when I like sweep a whole team with Rotom-H. It was cool. And the new tier list is out Scizor has made it over 30% in useage. Their is a chance he will go to ubers. And for the numbers, Scizor was used in 248338 battles. Sal was used in 161052. That's a difference of more then 80000. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really want to know why. Also if Heracross falls into UU, I'm so going to abuse him their. He is like just at the cut off point for dropping their. Also I'm kind of hoping that Scizor does move to ubers since the last pokemon that broke 30% useage was Garchomp and the difference between him and Sal is about 12%. Also speaking of tier list changes, Alakazam, Rhyperior, and Umbreon are now UU. Also Roserade is now OU. Also it looks like Manphy might fall to OU. Charizard, Magmortar, Nidoqueen and Porygon2 are NU (How the hell is 2 NU if it's always in the top 55 of OU. Also :( at Charizard. Now I WILL make a NU team). Aggron, Drifblim, Gardevoir and Magneton are all now UU. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Felix Posted October 8, 2009 Report Share Posted October 8, 2009 If you're being serious about Draonite it's because of Extreme Speed:/ Scizor wouldn't be out of place in Ubers, I mean he fairs well in there as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
