  1. Haha yeah makes sense about not wanting to use those, but could definitely come in handy against some high level bosses. Don't forget about mons like snover and hippopotas to get a up a quick hailstorm or sandstorm to boost your sand slashes. What are your thoughts about wishiwashi by the way? Because it starts at 175 total but transforms in battle into this beast with 620 base stat total. But it's slow with low hp so in my opinion you can get away with it . Makes me think, eviolite Duosion could be cool as well, you'll probably have some pretty slow mons as well so duosion can take a hit and set up a trick room if you want while still having a base sp.attack in 125(!) which is just as high as reuniclus'.
  2. Nice idea! Wish you good luck with it! You'll probably be abusing the f*ck out of moxie mightyena and swords dance alolan sandslash Don't forget the simple mons like swoobat and bibarel they'll be handy too. I don't remember if the eviolite will be available soon but pre evolutions are available as well ofcourse so keep that in mind. Like eviolite gurdurr, piloswine, doublade or even chansey are very powerful. I might even try this one out myself! Minior is available too for some nice shell smashing. Intimidate Arbok could come in clutch even. Quagsire is even available woah did not expect that. (Alolan) marowak with thick club hits extremely hard, same for huge power diggersby and huge power belly drum aqua jet azumarill though. And pure power medicham ofcourse. Vivillon is Nice as well for sticky web for instance. You could also use it and something like venomoth to quiver dance up. And murkrow and wobbufet for some sneaky plays. Those are like pretty much all your options but when used well not even that bad now that I look into it!
  3. I know a game! Two even! They are called Pokemon Sword and Pokemon Shield. Really nice games with overworld pokemon and stuff.
  4. FYI; pokemon stop obeying you when they are 1 level past the level cap, so at 26,31,36 and so on. Good luck with your non-starter playthrough! Really like the idea.
  5. I would go with the second one as well. Greninja is meant to out speed and kill with stab attacks. And his level up moveset is not that great until later on. But Frogadier gets smack down at 33 which is really helpful. So imo you need that attack boost early on in this game. Later Greninja gets Extrasensory but tm dark pulse is quite late available as well so you could teach him night slash (with the move relearner) if necessary, otherwise at lvl 77 but idk if dark pulse is available by then. So an increased attack is really not that bad just like his 95 base attack stat. And as @Wolfox said you'll eventually be able to change his nature when needed.
  6. Swampert (mega, sweeper) Volcarona (Defensive Quiver dance (sweeper), defog-roost or just straight up offensive) Excadrill (sash rocks, sweeper, ballon, also a mon with so many options) Aegislash (always nice to be able to trick the AI with King Shield + sacred sword, sweeper) Trevenant (Defensive leech seed with horn leech, will-o-wisp or something like D-bond) Haxorus ((late-game) sweeper (dragon dance or even swords dance) + extra water resist) rotation: Tauros (ghost immunity, intimidate) Jolteon (speed control and volt switch + gets rain dance for mega swampert) Bisharp (Suckerpunch and dark resist) Talonflame/Xatu/Gliscor (ground immunity, defensive defog + get a strong prioritised brave bird off, or magic bounce, or Toxic orb poison heal with swords dance) I really love Corviknight and Dragapult as well but they won't be added to this game so at the end this is what i would pick out of your mons i guess.
  7. Calm mind Simple Swoobat put in a lot of work for me early game in one of my first playthrough. It gets Calm Mind at level 29 and Air slash not much levels after. I remember that i stopped using him when he was like level 50 so that's a long time it was usefull for me. But depending on your other team members it could potentially put in more work for you. That being said, for lategame i would definitely go for screens. Blaziken works really well with screens. So you could get a A-sandslash and get the Arora-veil TM at Serra and later on swap it out for a A-Ninetales. Sharpedo is good behind screens as well. Straight up offence is most of the time not a great idea to deal with the power Reborn attacks you with. With shift on it could work ofcourse but I always depended on pure luck at the double battles with my first playthroughs cause of I didn't had anything to take a hit so i could heal my mons. You could also go with something like a calm mind Slow Bro, it's kinda offensive, but can also take a hit if it needs to. But like @WildRoad said the rest of your team really depends on the mons you like to use and the playstyle you have or want to use, it's not like here are the 5 mons who go good with Blaziken haha.
  8. haha you have to trade a pokemon back I don't need anything back, just trade the torchic you got as a starter back.
  9. well actually no, It's not like they changed the download right before you clicked it to a game-file where the chance of getting adamant nature or speed boost on Torchic is lowered Jokes aside it's completely RNG like stated before. But if you really don't like to refresh i can probably trade you 1, not sure if i have 1 ready though.
  10. @doombotmecha A long time ago I posted something for Terra as well. I suggested Claydol as a pokemon to beat it with. I'll just copy paste and put the comment underneath for you to look into, I personally thought that's something worth trying and it works with the same principle as your Clefable but if you want to keep with your clefable and scolipede that's good too ofcourse! I'll drop the link of the thread here as well I guess i forgot/did not know about this as well at the time lol
  11. No problem man! I really like to help the people in need But you should really thank; www.smogon.com www.pokemonshowdown.com And if you want to get more into the competitive scene; www.youtube.com/pokeaimmd This man taught me everything I know. He explains his thinkingproces during battles very clearly, builds teams very precisely and I'm sure he will help you guys a lot! I'll recommend you guys to watch his latest Delcatty video. In this video he picks a random pokemon, then builds a team around it and then brings it to OU-tier. You really should check it out for yourself, very inspiring.
  12. No worries! You can always just drop it here if you still have questions or if you want to show it and if you want advice with novesets and EV spreads or something but I was thinking of something like this 4 physical attackers 2 special 3 defensive mons 3 attacking, win cons
  13. Well if you really want spikes I would go with a Chesnaught in your last slot. Your ground weakness is still very much a live and a poor physical defensive roserade won't help with that. And if you don't know the opponents team a t-spike is risky because he/she can just send out a poison type the next turn and your t-spike is gone. So i guess that a Chesnaught with spikes is a really good alternative. Well you could indeed mess around with some trick room, but because you're running defensive scizor you want his U-turns to be slow otherwise the pokemon coming in has to take the hit. A slow tyranitar with that much bulk and power isn't a problem as you will see later, you could run choice scarf primarina. Primarina is a popular mon to be choiced, either specs or scarf, both works. Depends on your match-up but isn't that always the case? You could ofcourse try it out, I would recommend Reuniclus as your Trick Room setter. Bulky, hits hard and gets calm mind. True but you want to exploid the strong sides of your pokemon. You want him to live as much hits as possible as a special wall to be a thread with his physical power. For example; Tyranitar @ Assault Vest Careful Nature Ability: Sand Stream EVs: 224 HP / 32 Atk / 252 SpD - Rock Slide - Crunch - Pursuit - Earthquake This set lives 2 specs hydro pumps of Greninja and KO's him with 2 Earthquakes or Rock slides. 252 SpA Choice Specs Greninja Hydro Pump vs. 224 HP / 252+ SpD Assault Vest Tyranitar in Sand: 150-176 (37.7 - 44.3%) 32 Atk Tyranitar Rock Slide vs. 0 HP / 4 Def Greninja: 147-174 (51.5 - 61%) And the more it lives the more satisfying it gets for me at least ^^ You could run smooth rock ofcourse to give your excadrill more turns, but could damage the rest of your team as well. Or you could even make it banded or something, but again that's just really your choice what you personally prefer the most
  14. A balanced team doesn't have to mean that it has a 3/3 ratio with special and physical attackers. It might as well be 4/2 or even 1/5. All you need is some support pokes and like 2 win conditions. Start thinking about a damage dealer/winning condition first. You could go OP straight away and choose the Tyranitar-excadrill combo. Assault Vest Ttar with Swords Dance excadrill will get you a lot of wins. Hop a defensive (mega-)scizor on it with U-turn and you have a quite powerfull team already with no repeated typings. In my opinion Dark and Ghost type coverage on the same team is a waste of STAB cause they cover both the same types, in Ghost and Psychic. You can now think of your second win condition, maybe a nasty plotter? Salazzle? Or if you want to put the work in for it, Naganadel. You have 4 pokemon now on your team, the last step is just looking at your weaknesses. You're weak to fighting types and ground types so a Primarina would definitely benefit the team a lot! Last but not least you could pick like a Stealth Rock setter or just something to go all out attacking with, what balances your team out more is up to you because i'm not testing it Maybe something like a Ferrothorn or a third win con in like Z-Clanging scales Kommo-o. Should be a lot of fun as well. Or just a screen setter in Espeon. Get rid of the dark, bug and ghost types with Ttar and scizor so you can set up screens with Espeon so you can sweep with your win cons in Salazzle or excadrill. Should work as well idk . Hope I helped you a bit and gave you some inspiration!
  15. I got bored a lot between episodes so i've got a bunch of mons around level 90. This is my first box with IV-bred and EV trained pokemon; https://imgur.com/H1fcpsZ This is my second box of pokemon, these are only EV-trained though. https://imgur.com/fP6l971 And finally, my main 6. I just really love this pokemon lol. https://imgur.com/0Mg8ufl OP (Naganadel) @ Dragonium Z Ability: Beast Boost EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe Timid Nature - Dragon Pulse - Flamethrower - Sludge Wave - Nasty Plot ExcaKill (Excadrill) @ Soft Sand Ability: Mold Breaker EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe Jolly Nature - Earthquake - Rock Slide - Iron Head - Swords Dance 5timesakil (Heracross-Mega) @ Heracronite Ability: Skill Link EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spe Jolly Nature - Close Combat - Bullet Seed - Pin Missile - Rock Blast Lemmegethp (Slowbro) @ Leftovers Ability: Regenerator EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SpA Bold Nature - Psyshock - Flamethrower - Scald - Calm Mind Cantkillme (Goodra) @ Assault Vest Ability: Sap Sipper EVs: 252 HP / 252 SpA / 4 SpD Mild Nature - Dragon Pulse - Muddy Water - Sludge Wave - Power Whip BP'stoofast (Scizor) @ Metal Coat Ability: Technician EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe Adamant Nature - Bullet Punch - Superpower - X-Scissor - Swords Dance That's how i want it to be in the end. Cause i know Calm mind slow bro isn't available yet. Thinking about making Scizor U-turn over X-scissor and making Goodra Dragon tail for some extra support against special sweepers. I might add slackoff as well on slowbro instead of flamethrower, but will see .
  16. You have a really big fighting weakness! I'd recommend to switch out lycanroc-dusk for a Pallossand or a like a gliscor. A ground type is always welcome and they can both be switched in fighting types if they don't carry ice type attacks. Bullet seed on technician breloom is better. Cause you have 62,5% chance to do more damage then the 80 BP seed bomb. 2 hits give you a 75 BP move while 3 hits is a 112 BP move (!). He should have Swords Dance as well later on and you should consider running mach punch on it over drain punch. With it's lak of speed mach punch might be better on it. When he get's SD you should switch Weavile's and Breloom's items. Breloom Life Orb and Weavile Choice band. Physical mega lucario is always better than a special one in my opinion. But i understand you running special cause otherwise you have to rely on 75% acc iron tail or you have to got through all the troubles of breeding Meteor Mash on it. But Swords Dance Close Combat hits like a truck! You should consider making Espeon a support mon as well. You couldMake it screens, you have some really vulnerable mons so they might really benefit from the screens to set up SD's or something, It should have max hp ev's and max speed ev's then. I'm not sure if Umbreon really fits in this team. Unless You're going to switch out one of the mons for a bulky one cause he doesn't really have any options to pass his wish to. They all just die in 1 or 2 hits. Unless they're behind screens ofcourse. But hey you've really put in some work in the EV's and you use the pokemon you like so you should keep doing that! Clearly you're very proud of your team and I just hope that my tips will help you build this team better and make you happier using it
  17. Well i checked smogon with my EV-spread. To the left is my spread and to the right are my in game stats. They are the same and my invested attack is in blade-form (I shadow sneaked a vigoroth) clearly way bigger than my special attack but they have the same base stat so my attack has to be invested. So i don't know if you, showdown or pokemon reborn is wrong lol. I guess you can see them as 2 different pokemon and not the same pokemon with a stat shift.
  18. Aah never knew that. Awesome Time to change my aegislash' spread then. Thanks
  19. Well, base form aegislash has the same base defence as sp. Defence so specifically special attackers no. Those 4 defence evs are just to put them somewhere lol. Just set up in base form and sweep with shadow sneak in blade form.
  20. Im currently running this; Aegislash @ Spooky Plate Ability: Stance Change EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 4 Def Brave Nature - Shadow Sneak - Sacred Sword - Swords Dance - King's Shield
  21. Thanks for the adjustments for in-game! Did not have much time then as you can see I mean aqua jet-drapion lol, just a typo ofc. The team has a veil setter so I was like, let's give it as much set up as possible. And I liked the idea of agility empoleon better over coil eelektross. Also because you already have a water pivot in Gastrodon. And agility empoleon is just really awesome imo lol. It was kinda set up to set up veil, and then chip away to eventually win with ninetales or empoleon late game (this team doesn't have great win cons). I agree on the hydreigon but you need a fire move on her. So I'd make it flamethrower and FClashcannon over Earthpower. But give it u-turn over flash cannon when scarf is available. If we're talking in-game definitely make eelektross discharge then for the field effects and possible extra support for the possible para. And as I said, aqua tail ofcourse, and hone claws is fine. Maybe give it signal beam then, the team doesn't have a bug type move and covers the slot until ice beam is available. If we're talking in game then don't make it stealth rock and defog cause if the way less usefulness in-game which is way less imo. Toxic us in general a good replacement for ice beam.
  22. Did not put time in it to really balance it out, but it might end up something like this
  23. Awesome I'm happy for you! Too bad i typed all at the above for nothing though
