Sapphire Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 Remember you should be changing EVs and items most matches. Anyway...Serperior will be runing support for about half the matches...I'd reconsider only 1 attacking move. Why speed EVs on Taloflame? Priority on Speed Boost Sharpedo? Hazards are rare in league, so I'd drop rapid spin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hazards are rare in league, so I'd drop rapid spin. Well I've barely used Talonflame in competitive(even in wi-fi) so I assumed speed EVs on it.... Yeah I'll drop the Rapid Spin, I just learned Hazards were rare from Blind Guardian a few moments ago. What do you mean by reconsider? Yeah I guess I'm counting on Sharpedo to be my savoir or my best friend, because of that Protect and hit though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sapphire Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 I mean having only Leaf storm means Serp is useless as an attacker in the first block, Sphira, Charlotte, Ciel, Bennet also. That's almost half of league Serp won't be attacking in. Talon gets priority Brave Bird, and if you face something that DOES resist flying and not fire (steel) THEN you can run speed.

Sheep Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 Yeah, HP rock can be pretty handy once you're at +2, still won't do you any favors in the first block though. Dragon pulse is another option. Hits a bit harder when neutral but doesn't have the same synergy with grass. Talonflame is a great partner for it in multi battles as well due to it's 4x resistance to grass. Though if you want real synergy you could look for a pokemon with sap sipper. Azumarill, Zebstrika, Bouffalant, or a physical Goodra are all possibilities. Overall though I think I'll relay the same advice I got given on my one of these. It looks too singles oriented. Speed Boost Sharpedo won't help you any when your opponent is trick rooming. I'd probably run fake out on Hitmontop and replace stone edge with rock slide. Aegislash and Talonflame are both fantastic pokemon and your sets look pretty good. Like Sec said though you can play around with the EVs depending on the opponent. Honestly I'd drop Gliscor. Dedicated walls don't work in doubles or triples and your team is already singles oriented enough. One of the aforementioned sap sippers can probably bring earthquake as coverage to keep that on the team. Dunno about Sharpedo, could be really good in singles but I can't see it as anything but dead weight in anything else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sapphire Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 Yeah, around half of all Battles will be triples. RARELY doubles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shushup Posted April 23, 2014 Author Share Posted April 23, 2014 Is there something I should replace my Sharpedo with? I was thinking replacing it with Greninja! But I wasn't too sure, so I kept my Sharpedo there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vinny Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 Either Greninja or Rotom-W... In my opinion, both could work. The only thing that i noticed with your team is that you don't have a lot of multi hitting moves. Neither do i, but i made my team before i realised that a lot of battles were triples. Can you drop Stone Edge for Rock Slide on H-Top? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shushup Posted April 23, 2014 Author Share Posted April 23, 2014 I'm going to go with Greninja Thanks for the help guys! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sapphire Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 Didn't. Lost to a flinchax. Icing on the cake was Ciel (acting as Terra) didn't even try in her last match. *sigh* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tempest Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 She did try but she's also not Terra; she doesn't know the type as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
