  1. M-Steelix: This set is generally good, it has a lot of offensive presence and can set up Stealth Rock easily thanks to it's great bulk. I think Roar is a better choice than Toxic as it deters setup sweepers, and with Stealth Rocks and Spikes can do a decent amount of damage. You could use Dragon Tail instead of Roar as M-Steelix has an attack of 383 with a positive nature, which could help rack up damage more easily, but Roar can hit through Protect and Substitutes so it's just a matter of preference. Metagross: This set mostly makes sense, but it's mostly walled by other Steel-types. As one of the primary offensive Pokémon on your team, I'd replace Zen Headbutt with Earthquake for better coverage. If you run Zen Headbutt, there are 47 Pokémon that can resist all of Metagross' moves, while if you run Earthquake only Surskit and Shedinja can resist all three moves. Also, STAB Zen Headbutt has 120 base power and 90% accuracy, while Earthquake has 100 and perfect accuracy, so the difference in power is somewhat negligible considering that you'd want to use Meteor Mash as a primary STAB anyways. However, if you need something to check Fighting-types, then Zen Headbutt isn't a bad option. Klefki: Klefki can setup spikes, which aids sweeping (see Bronzong) and help M-Steelix with it's phasing. Priority Magnet Rise is a good idea, as opponents may switch into a supposed check (i.e Earthquakers) only to find that their "check" wasn't really a check at all. Toxic is a good move on Klefki for steallbreaking the opponent's walls, as this team somewhat lacks offensive power. As Klefki doesn't have much offensive power, in place of Play Rough you could run Foul Play because it uses the opponent attack stat. If you're worried about opponents with status moves, Klefki can also run Taunt in place of Play Rough. Bronzong: I'm assuming Bronzong's main niche on your team is setting up dual screens, so perhaps having a setup sweeper could be helpful. The Steel-type doesn't have a ton of those, but one option that comes to mind is Scizor. Scizor can make use of the screens to setup Swords Dances, and can also utilize Trick Room as it's rather slow. Even after the Trick Room ends, it can sweep with Technician-boosted Bullet Punches and make use of the entry hazards on the field. Bronzong has Levitate, obviously helping with Ground-types. Another option for Bronzong is to replace Trick Room with Toxic, because as stated before, this team is rather defensive and this prevents being to reliant on Klefki for stallbreaking. Durant: While I like the idea of having a fast Steel-type to combat the semi Dark-type weakness on the team, I feel this would be a role better filled by Scizor. Just by running numbers through Pokémon Showdown's damage calculator I can see that against a Gengar (my chosen test subject), a Bullet Punch from Scizor does 90.7% to 107.3%, while Durant's Iron Head does 101.1% to 119.3%. So while Durant does a little more damage with Steel-type moves, Scizor can setup with Swords Dance and deals more damage with it's Bug-type moves (although it's much slower without priority). If you really want to have Durant, you could have a set with Hustle and Hone Claws. After a single boost, Durant's accuracy drop from Hustle is negated while also having a boost in attack from Hustle and Hone Claws. Probopass: Even with maximum investment and a positive nature, Probopass doesn't really hit hard at all. It has good defensive stats, but a horrible typing which in even more detrimental to your team as it's a Steel-mono. With an air balloon it temporarily negates one of it's weaknesses, but it still has a 4x weakness to Fighting moves. For a special attacker, some good choices are Magnezone or Lucario. They both are useful for checking opposing Steel-types, but Magnezone can also trap them. The problem with it is that it still has a 4x weakness to Ground, meaning that is has to rely on Bronzong for synergy. Lucario has a better speed stat and can boost with Nasty Plot, but has subpar defensive stats. Also, while Lucario is fast for a Steel-type, it's base 90 speed leaves it out paced by a lot of threats. Overall, your team is a bit defensive in my opinion and could do with a bit of offensive power.
  2. Fire Stone: Ninetales ​Water Stone: Cloyster Thunderstone: Jolteon ​Leaf Stone: Simisage Moon Stone: Nidoking ​Sun Stone: Whimsicott Shiny Stone: Togekiss ​Dusk Stone: Honchkrow Dawn Stone: Gallade
  3. Thanks for all your responses guys. I really appreciate it.
  4. Pikachu: I know a lot of people don't like Pikachu, but personally I've always liked the concept of the Light Ball. IMO, I'd say it's actually better than Raichu (though neither are incredibly useful). Doublade: I like Honedge's entire line, but Doublade stands out for me because it can reach an insanely high defense stat with Eviolite. Haunter: While Gengar is obviously more competitively viable, I just like haunter's design more. Gengar just looks too...fat. Seadra: I like Seadra's "spikier" look compared to Kingdra; it makes it look more threatening.
  5. My favourite game/series? Probably Golden Sun, because it has very interesting game mechanics and great music (in my opinion).
  6. Fennekin is a must have, as it's the only starter with a typing that matches your criteria. It also has good special attack and speed, even far into EP. 15. Metagross has a base-135 attack stat, and a base-130 defense as well, although it can be a hassle to catch and train from a Beldum. A Gardevoir or a Gallade is useful for Dark-type Pokémon, as Dark is super-effective against both Psychic and Ghost. It's also available relatively early, right before Serra Medicham is also useful for Darks, and has Pure Power as it's ability. Similar to Diggersby or Azumarill, this boosts it's attack to extremely high levels. Meditite is obtainable on Apophyll Beach. Gourgeist-Super has decent defensive stats, and has access to Leech Seed and Confuse Ray. It also has the abilities Frisk and Pickup, which are both very useful for item farming. Malamar's typing allows it to deal with Dark-types as well as other Ghost-types. It also can have the ability Contrary which can be used in combination with Superpower to boost its physical side quickly. However, it has a 4x weakness to Bug, although that shouldn't be too much of a problem with Ghost-types on your team. Whatever other spots you have in your roster you can really fill with almost anything (except for Unown).
  7. Sure, that seems like a great idea! I'd love to have conversations with you on whichever topic you would like.
  8. Wow, thanks! I did not expect to get responses so quickly, so thank you. I'll do my best to contribute to the forums. alsothnx4thehatm8
  9. I'm a new member here at Reborn (one of the many), and I guess I just wanted to say hi. So...hi, I guess. I spent some time skulking around the forums, but haven't done any posting of my own. Yet. But, I thought now would be as good a time as any to begin. So a little information about myself. I am fourteen, am in grade 9 and live in Canada: the country where we have lots of bears and moose roaming the streets​ uh...I mean snow. Yeah. Right...anyways. Some of my interests are playing chess, or writing stories. I also really like music. I am a novice music composer, and like to listen to all sorts of different genres. Classical, rock, hip-hop, alternative-really anything. I like talking to people, but am not great at starting conversations. I do, however, plan to be more active on the forums from now on. I first got into Pokémon when I was about 6, I think. My first game was Pokémon Diamond, and my first started was Chimchar. Around June 2015 I started playing Pokémon Reborn because I found I was growing bored with my current Pokémon games, and wanted a little change of pace. So I began looking online for fan-made games and, voila, I found this lovely gem! Anyways, as I said before, I recently created a account because I wanted to be more involved with the Reborn community. From what I've seen, this seems like a nice place to be: and from what I've heard, some people even consider this to be there second home. And I guess that's all I have to say (type?). So hello to everyone else, I guess!
