Dewese9 Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 (edited) Hey all! I have a team to show you so lets cut right to the chase... First here's the team Salamence @ Salamencite I Intimidate / Aerielate Modest I 252 SpAtk / 252 Spd / 4 HP Draco Meteor I Hyper Voice I Fire Blast I Protect Metagross @ Metagrossite I Clear Body / Tough Claws Adamant I 252 Atk / 252 Spd / 4 HP Meteor Mash I Earthquake I Psychic I Protect Talonflame @ Choice Scarf I Gale Wings Adamant I 252 Atk / 252 Spd/ 4 HP Brave Bird I Flare Blitz I U-Turn I Tailwind Togekiss @ Leftovers I Serene Grace Modest I 252 SpAtk / 252 Spd / 4 HP Air Slash I Dazzling Gleam I Thunder Wave I Tailwind Landorus-T @ Earth Plate I Intimidate Adamant I 252 Atk / 252 Spd / 4 HP Earthquake I Rock Slide I Knock Off I U-Turn Thunderus @ Life Orb I Prankster Modest I 252 SpAtk I 252 Spd I 4 Hp Thunderbolt I Focus Blast I Grass Knot I Thunder Wave Okay here's the team analysis What I like: This is a Mega Salamence team with Mega Metagross as an option if i see fit and this teams signature is power and SPEED. With everything invested 252 in speed two tailwind users and the abilites Gale Wings and Prankster, you should going first bar some priority moves. What you might also notice is all the investment in attack and special attack and thats the point, hit them as hard and as fast as you can. This teams purpose is to put on the pressure with cover moves like hyper voice, earthquake, rock slide, and dazzling gleam. 2 Earthquakes just because. there's great coverage with 12 different types of attacks, some boosted by held items. Also with earthquake being such a big thing Four of my teamates are immune to it which is nice. A comination of Mega Salamence's Hyper Voice and Landorus T's Earthquake is very deadly. Not to mention the two thunder waves to slow them down any further. How's this team doing: Pretty well, its undefeated on Showdown barring i'm still in the low ranks(new to it.) What I dont like: Electricity. 3 of my teamates are weak to it. I do have Landorus, speed, and two of my pokemon with thunderbolt for Zapdos and Thunderus. Also a fire blast for magnezone but thats the blairing weakness. Hopefully i can knock them out before it can knock me out. Also Metagross... i love the guy but rarely ever use him. usually just there to scare away the fairies but they usually play them anyway. If there's a better pokemon that knows a steel type move or better yet with earthquake too, or even just something to round out the team better as like i said i rarely use him anyway as i can usually deal with the fairies anyway, especially azumaril. Anyway, theoretically the match ups are decent for all of the top used Mega's and they're support. Mega-Mawhile, Mega-Kangaskhan, Mega-Mence, Meg-Meta, Charizard Y etc.. As far as i can tell, still need to playtest more. A LOT more but i wanted to put this here... So what do yall think? Good? No good? Okay? Does it make sense? lol. Any changes? Im welcome to feedback and am willing to make changes as long as it includes atleast one of my two mega im trying to build around and maybe the same type of strategy Also im pretty busy today and tmrw so if i dont get back to the comments immediately dont worry, i will respond to all of them. And if there are any typo's or errors let me know. Thanks in advance! Also it wouldnt allow me to use the images I wanted but I tried Edited March 6, 2015 by Dewese9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lostelle Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 Welcome to the Reborn forums, Dewese9, be sure to introduce yourself over at the Grand Hall. I'm not a competitive genius so I can't really help ya, but you posted this in the Pokémon Reborn Game section, and this was probably meant for Showdown or something of the sort. Be patient though, a moderator will move your thread into a better section so you can get the feedback you desire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reignited'Light Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 (edited) Is this supposed to be a VGC team? Please specify the tier of your team. Mega Salamence is banned in OU as far as I'm aware. I'll give a better rate when I get on my computer. EDIT: I can't give a proper rate. I have no experience in the VGC metagame, so I won't put any input. Sorry Edited March 7, 2015 by Reignited'Queen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dewese9 Posted March 6, 2015 Author Share Posted March 6, 2015 (edited) Thank you Lostelle!And yes this is a VGC team! VGC 2015 doubles I forgot to post that hah Edited March 6, 2015 by Dewese9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickCrash Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 It doesn't really make sense to scarf lock Talonflame, especially into tailwind. Other than that, I don't have much experience in VGC, so I'll be back with better rating when I've done my research. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chase Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 Okay, I like that there's an option in M-Metagross for Fairy wielding teams, as Whimsicott is a real annoyance in VGC and MegaGross puts the adequate pressure on not only it, but several other Pokémon barring you can keep it healthy. MegaMence will do fine against Fire and Fighting threats. You don't like Electricity -or- Ice -or- Rock type attacks, which is something things like Cress like to run (and are a real pain to get rid of.) As already mentioned, choicing Talonflame into Tailwind is kinda silly. If Tailwind is a flying type move, it will already have priority with Gale Wings, so you might run LO or Lefties depending on how that changes your set. I get that you don't want that Earthquake to cause your teammates damage, but I think you may have taken it into account -too- much. Things to consider. - UnChoicing T-Flame - Assault Vest Eelektross over Thunderous to give you some Rock and Ice coverage. - AV Azumarill over Togekiss Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah un choicing talonflame might make sense. I originally put it on just to make sure i go first but with gale wings its a little bit unnecessary. Assault vest togekiss or azumaril might be an option, just dont like how i cant use thunderwave or use togekiss as a back up tailwinder And wow Eelektross is surprising, didnt even know that was a pokemon lol. Its kinda slow but it might be a good idea. Just wont have the fighting coverage but it could take care of steel with flamethrower. Also giga drains cool. Maybe i should assault vest that to handle mega swamperts? Really the only thing that bothered me today was a thunderus and landorus combo. Thunderus with prakster thunder waved my salamence before i could hit him with it. and landorus rock slided my two pokemon, knocked out talonflame. I should have switch sala into landorus knowing the thunder wave was coming so i made an error. but then he could just thunder wave my next pokemon i switch talonflame into since i choiced it. but if its not choiced i wouldnt have a problem. and it was bad from there. Was actually thinking about switching one of my pokemon(maybe even metagross) to aerodactyl with tailwind(fastest in game.) Or possibly Auroras, to u-turn into. Both would have a good ice attack too, I would just have to deal with fairies outright but idk. But yeah that Cressalia really sounds like a threat, and the only dark move i have is knock off lol. i guess U-turn is good against psychic too? Got a lot of options here. Anything else guys? Also what should I put on Talonflame then? So I might actually be overhauling the team and going with Mega Metagross instead continuing with what we've done in here. I'll keep trying but it feels like mega salamence is too hard to build around. I'll post it up when it's ready and I think you'll like it Hilda Edited March 8, 2015 by Lil' Danny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadow Tack Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 well you should probably fix the format, and put down the role for each directly under and such, check other RMT's for examples, otherwise i don't know shit about VGC so yeah.

EonicEevee Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 if you are going to choice talonflame, choice band it. you will most likely spam brave bird Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AuthorReborn Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 Um I have quick question no one's brought up yet. I'm no VGC player, but why the hell do you have a special attack move, Psychic, on your entirely physical MegaGross? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
