    While I agree with you that Umbreon can definitely be a solid tank of a pokemon and I could understand how clutch it can be in battle, I just don't know if its necessary for his team. I mentioned Togekiss because it would give him a mon with immunity to two types: Ground and Dragon. This would effectively make his team perfect for switching between mons to utilize the immunities when anticipating attacks. Lucario to Poison, Weavile to Psychic, Togekiss to Ground or Dragon. If he added in a Ground type to his team, he would then have ANOTHER immunity to his team. That could really come in handy. Just a thought though.

    yes I agree completely with you. I did say he should consider my thoughts on Umbreon if and only if he wants to keep it. Like I would struggle with team building cos I know Umbreon other than the curse strat doesn't really improve a team the same way other pokes can but my bias prevents me from switching umbreon out lol.

    Personally, I would swap out Espeon and Umbreon. I love them both, but I am not convinced they add much to your team as a whole. You have Weavile already for your Dark Typing already so no need to double up. Perhaps, go for something that can still handle its role with different typing? Maybe a superluck Togekiss? You can still get that wish and protect, plus Air Slash flinches for days. Its also quite a tank and the fairy flying could help cover some of that Fighting weakness your team has.

    Tho I cant disagree with switching espeon out for something like Gardevoir, I'm here to make a case for my fav pokemon Umbreon. (Yes I am biased but pls give me a chance)

    I agree completely with not stacking similar types on the same team. I also personally follow this rule. I usually try and pit 6 pokemons with as much type variation as possible as a general rule of thumb. If you want to keep Umbreon and I stress again on IF. You can and should go for cursebreon. I know its a pain in the ass to setup and yes its slow as hell but man I lost count how many times Umbreon saved my ass in Reborn. Its so dang tanky that honestly, type weaknesses don't even matter anymore (once he's set up with Curse). And using the buffs from Curse and Payback just freakin one shots everyone and everything into oblivion regardless of type advantage/disadvantage. You also have wish when you find yourself in 'oh crap you're dying' moments. Just make sure to EV the heck out of your Sp. Deff and have complimenting nature to go with it. Bonus points also given to Umbreon's badass shiny form boy cant go wrong with that.

    Personally I agree that switching out Typhlosion would be a good move. I disagree with using Nidoking though. While I love Nidoking, I think that there is a pokemon that would be better suited for your team. As much as it pains me to say, Quagsire is amazing. Its Water/Ground typing is amazing and would help you out with Electric types, fire, rock, steel, poison, and even other ground types. Sure you get double grass weakness with it, but you've already handled Fern AND you have Blaziken and Dragonite that can handle any grass types you come up against. 

    you know what? this is a better idea. Go for Quagsire! I didnt even consider using quagsire lol

  4. I say go for Delphox why not. Psychic and Fire seems to help  the weaknesses of your team (poison, steel and ice). Although you might need a physical tank for ur team, since both primarina and ampharos are specially defensive but it should be fine i think.

  5. I think switching Typhlosion with something like Nidoking would be nice. He can help with covering Gardevoir's weaknesses to poison and steel and also kill of fire types for Weavile and Breloom, or you can do whatever you want with Nidoking since it is such a versatile poke

  6. Managed to beat Hardy using this team:

     

    Milotic

    Garchomp

    Mega Lopunny

    Umbreon

    Greninja

    Pikachu

     

    Main Team:

    Garchomp 

    Mega Lopunny (High Jump Kick on a ghost type is just so much fun)

    Umbreon

    Greninja

    Pikachu (Pikachu isnt here for the trolls lol, fake out + volt tackle LB Pikachu kills a whole bunch of things)
    Charizard

  7. I would definitely recommend making a SpA Greninja with your IV spread.

    Although this isn't for early game, this is how I run my Greninja:

     

    Timid

    Protean


    Extra Sensory - coverage 

    Hydro Pump - raw power move

    Grass Knot - Killing off huge, heavy rock types. 

    Dark Pulse - deal with pesky psychic types

     

    + All STAB

     

    You dont really have to worry about the nature, since later in game you'll be able to change it

  8. A Dark type trainer(?)

     

    - Partner is obviously Shiny Umbreon. Cursebreon for days

    - Mega Tyranitar coz u need at least one Mega-able poke, and what could possibly be better than a Pseudo Legendary. (I know he's a sub dark type but even elite 4 Karen has a spiritomb)

    - Greninja Protean Greninja with the Coverage(s)

    - Bisharp I like how it looks.. 

    - Hydreigon the obligatory Dragon type 😛 

    - Murkrow Prankster is fun.

    Does Megidramon count? Because I certainly appreciate Megidramon! 

    Megidramon_crusader.png

     

    YES MEGIDRAMON IS PART OF THE 'DRAGON'S ROAR' FAMILY

     

    MY TURN THO HE'S HUMANOID, HE IS ALSO PART OF THE DRAGON'S ROAR FAM

     

    Sry Fam I get overly excited when it comes to Magnamon

    Well, I'd keep Medicham for now for 2 reasons:

    1. Lucario would give you a third fighting type weakness and without your future togekiss you're going to have a bad time against this typing.

    2. He doesn't get (good) steel type moves for level up.

    He gets metal claw and that's it. When you're a couple of badges further you'll be able to teach your Lucario Iron Tail (75% accurate) through move tutor and even further in the game you could make your lucario special because you'll get the flash cannon TM after the steel type gym. But that early it's not great if you want to add him to the team for the steel type attacks.

    Or you just happen to have a Smeargle with Meteor Mash because then you'd be able to breed him that (😛) but otherwise in my opinion Pure Power medicham is better.

     

    But if you want to hit Fairy types better but steel keep your fighting type i'd suggest toxicroak. He gets sludge bomb (and nasty plot) and poison jab by level up. His fighting type attacks are limited though, but you can breed for some pretty decent moves like cross chop and drain punch.

    Alright then. Getting Flash Canon would be nice later since I dont think I've ever gotten that far yet hahaha. I think I'm going to stick with this team for a while until I can make the changes u suggested 

     

    Anyway, thankyou so much for the replies man, helped me out a lot 😄

    I think that your ground type is too valuable, you could switch it out for a excadrill though but that one won't be available for a long time either.

     

    What I mean here is not replacing garchomp with lucario, rather have the role of beating fairy types to lucario with its steel type moves. So the team would look something like: Lucario, Garchomp, Greninja, Umbreon, Volcarona/Arcanine + Future Togekiss.

     

    Why? Because Stab. And also, the loss of Psychic type STAB for poison types is taken care of by Greninja with Extrasensory + Protean. Also I think having Lucario will add better versatility to the team instead of medicham correct me if i'm wrong. Ofc I can use Roserade to beat fairies but as discussed earlier, Roserade is better off switched with a future Togekiss right?

  12. @N1Dude

     

    Thanks for the reply and the umbreon compliment 😄  I know that reading through my long post could be a pain so its very much appreciated.

     

    On a more serious note, in this current run, I'm still at the Chess Gym(?) what is that 8th gym i think. So I don't think I have access to togekiss yet correct me if i'm wrong. But I really like the idea

     

    - Togekiss would be a great addition since I would get a flying type replacing Talonflame and a fairy type to deal with Dragon types. I know that Garchomp can deal with dragon types too, but I think fairy types in general is much more reliable for that particular role. I'll try looking for how to get one later if possible

     

    - Both Arcanine and Volcarona is great replacements I think. Since Arcanine has great stats and volcarona is a great Bug type in general (which I kinda like bug types). I can go either spA or Atk for arcanine or mix even so thats nice. Accessibility wise Arcanine is the one since I already have a growlithe in my pc from the police department

     

    - For Greninja I have a question. Since Choice Items locks the pokemon to a single move + stat boost, wouldn't that defeats the purpose of protean Greninja? This is speaking only about PvE content not PVP since I dont do PVP seriously: Say for example I have my greninja against a pokemon with electric type moves. The AI would choose the electric type move since its super effective right? But since Greninja is faster (most probably), I can use moves like smack down and change my type, so it wont be super effective anymore. I wouldnt have that option if choice'd right?

     

    - Garchomp: the coverage against fairy types with iron head is a great idea. The only doubt I have is, whether a nonstab Iron head from garchomp, can OHKO opposing Fairies since if not, Garchomp is effectively dead or close to fainting

     

    - Medicham: Is Zen headbutt better than psycho cut?? Psycho cut hits have decent 70 BP + stab and 100 accuracy right? Not too mention if I use medichamite (later in the game), wouldnt that means losing valuable accuracy on not perfectly accurate moves? or is the pros outweighs this?

     

    - Umbreon: I will give leftovers to umbreon as soon as I find one 

     

    - I forgot to mention that I got a riolu from wonder trade so do you think Lucario would be a great addition instead of Iron Head Garchomp?

    Flabebe that i have not yet bred properly

    Why I put flabebe in this list or future florges if u will is because I've gotten another shiny stone from Item tracker? Finder? that thing that shows u stuff on the ground

    And at first i thought, I should make another, better roserade. coz rosey's iv is just eh

    But then I looked up on bulbapedia that floette also evolves via shiny stone

    So i checked out its moveset, and despite being pure fairy type, it has access to many grass type attacks

    Not also forgetting that Florges has higher total base stat at 552, while Roserade only has 505

    Ofc Roserade has higher sp attack but not by such a large margin that it justifies going for roserade. (roserade spA 125, florges spA 112)

    On the other hand, Florges is a great SpD Wall yes? But that role is already taken up by Umbreon.

    And choosing Florges over Roserade means losing Poison Stab for dealing with other Fairy Types

     

    I laid this out just to help u all make ur decisions and opinion 😄

     

    -----------------------------------------------------

     

    So what do u all think? What does my team lacks? Needs Improvements on or rather change entirely? Thankyou for reading such a long post 🙂
