I like the idea of Prankster Murkrow neutralizing the enemy, being as annoying as possible, and eventually paving the way for a strong pokemon to mop things up. Last gen, I had a lot of fun with paraflinching: Murkrow spread paralysis, Jirachi/Togekiss flinched things to death, Gliscor ate the rest. This gen, I think I want to play with Toxic/Poison and moves that exploit poisoned pokemon, like Venoshock, Venom Drench, Hex, and maybe Toxic Spikes. What kinds of pokemon would do well on my team? Gengar with either Hypnosis/Toxic and Hex makes a nice toy that might fit into your party.

Not sure if it's what you're looking for, but how about a Zangoose with Guts? He has amazing potential as a sweeper, his only weakness is being resisted by poison and if you give him Fling, you can launch the Toxic Orb he'll be carrying at any tough walls carrying leftovers or clerics that spam aromatherapy or heal bell.

Does anyone have a Normal-type Safari with Ditto? I need to get my breeding game started. I'm also looking for Safaris that contain the following: Mawile, Breloom, and Toxicroak, though I'd like to get my Ditto multiplying underway before I make any real efforts at breeding proper. My safari is pretty balls, but I do have Galvantula in it. Electric: Electrode, Electabuzz, Galvantula. FC: 4313 - 0193 - 8878

So, after testing a lot of different teams and losing a lot, I've found a team that I managed to get a lot of success with. It's got it's fair share of weaknesses, including a rather large Fire weakness, and smarter players can definitely take it down relatively quickly, but luck's been on my side the past few games. Any advice for improvements/gaps in coverage I can't see? I know I don't have a Wall, but I don't care for slow gameplay, and for the same reason I don't really do set-ups. (Stealth Rock, Spikes, ect) I know I should, I just don't want to yet. Anyway, here it is.My Team posted:3rd Kitetsu (Aegislash) (M) @ Leftovers

Tyranitar can pass on all three elemental fangs, Salamence can pass on Fire/Thunder Fang, Seviper can pass on Poison Fang if you're into that. I don't think there are any other biting moves besides them and Crunch which it gets by levelup. Strong Jaws raises their power by 50%, which is pretty great.

I thought Tyranitar didn't learn the fangs, so I figured youd have to use something like stoutland to get them onto him first. 50% - pretty sweet. Now to think on a moveset.

Got a female Japanese Eevee off Wonder Trade, then caught a bold male Skiddo almost right after. Since they're in the same egg group, as soon as I get my everstone back from my friend, we're in business

I'm trying to make a themed team to play around with online. So far, the team I'm working on (Fire types) seems to be okay, and since I'm limiting myself to only Fire types, there's not a whole lot of choices. So far I have: Magmortar 4/252/252 HP/SPA/SPE - Choice Scarf - Modest / Vital Spirit Toxic/Thunderbolt/Fireblast/Focusblast Blaziken 4/252/252 HP/ATK/SPE - Debating between Leftovers or Blazikenite - Adamant / Speed Boost Protect/Swords Dance/Flare Blitz/ Hi Jump Kick Volcarona 4/252/252 HP/SPA/SPE - Debating between Lum Berry or Leftovers - Timid / Swarm (Or Flame Body, but I think the 50% boost to bug would be best over 30% chance to burn) Quiver Dance / Bug Buzz / Heat Wave / Protect Chandelure - 252/252/4 HP/SPA/SPE - Focus Sash - Quiet / Flash Fire Heat Wave / Shadow Ball / Trick Room / Protect Camerupt - 4/252/252 HP/ATK/SPA - Something (Life Orb maybe?) - Solid Rock / Quiet Fire Blast / Earthquake / Stone Edge / Earth Power The general idea is to abuse speed with Blaziken and Volcarona as best as I can in the early game, and when they get taken out switch strategies to Trick Room Camerupt. Magmortar is there as clean up revenge. The sixth slot is what I'm stuck on. I was thinking either Charizard (with Charizardite Y) for sun support, and turning him into a physical bellyzard with Belly Drum/Fire Punch/Substitute/Earthquake, or a Flareon as my (lovely) wall. He still can do Wish if I remember correctly, and Wish/Protect/Toxic is really all you need to stall things out. Or, hell, I could even give one of the newer fire types a try; I hear good things about Talonflame but I'd also be interested in Pyroar, if only because his normal typing allows him to screw with Ghost types.

I learned this second-hand so someone can feel free to correct me, but apparently Smogon has discovered that the abilities that change a move's type (Pixilate, Refridgerate, and Aerialate) also give a 1.3x boost on top of STAB after changing the type. Unless I'm mistaken, that means Sylveon's and Gardevoir's best stab is Hyper Voice, Aurorus gets Nature Power-turned-Tri Attack on wi-fi which beats out Ice Beam, and Mega Pinsir does even stupider damage with Return/Thrash.

I just hit Amberette Town in my game, and I'm on my way to Glittering Cave next. Does...does this game know what Gyms are? Y'know, places where you get badges? It feels like it's been forever since I got the Bug Badge. I swear all three of my current team members are going to hit their final forms before the second gym ever shows up.

Just imagine that you were the middle man and instead of him trading to you to trade to him, He traded the ipoo to the dude who gave you the eevee! or just delete pokemon that are dumb like that and trade better stuff.

Anyone thought about using Gourgeist in their team? It's got a really diverse movepool and is one of two pokemon with access to wisp AND leech seed (the other being Trevenant), I think. Could I get away with running a completely passive moveset? Will o wisp, leech seed, pain split, substitute? It seems bulky enough that it can get away with just frustrating the opponent out of the game and it's functionally similar to a standard Sableye/Spiritomb set. The other question is, what size of Gourgeist works best with this kind of moveset? I'm going for a giant sized one because it's the bulkiest, but you're sacrificing speed to do it. I figure I'd mostly be using it against walls so it's not a huge issue. If only it had Prankster.

Apologies if this has already been posted - I want to get another 3ds xl so I can get X and do trades with myself, if I get a US 3DS ( and a few games that aren't coming out here for ages) will I be ables to do local trades? i could just trade via the thread in here but it feels like a pain in the bum to get sorted.

I'm 99% certain that you can do exactly that. Also it's not that hard to get what you're looking for in the trading thread, most people are happy to give you whatever or just help you trade back and forth for trade evos.

Goodpart posted:Anyone thought about using Gourgeist in their team? I was looking at the Gourgeist thread on Smogon recently (http://www.smogon.com/forums/threads/gourgeist.3489963/), and they seem to either go with Super Size with dual STAB, Will-o-Wisp, and Pain Split or Small with Leech Seed, Substitute, Will-o-Wisp, and an attack move so you don't bend over to Taunt. They also recently found that Pumpkaboo gets Trick as an Egg Move from Dusclops, though, so a Choice Scarf Jolly build for Small has popped up, too.

rhoga posted:Arbok can also pass all three elemental fangs to tyrunt. He gets them from the relearner. Yep. I actually bred a bunch of Ice/Poison Fang Tyrunts the other day and threw them into the Wonder Trade using an Arbok as the father, since Arbok can also learn Poison Fang as an egg move from Seviper. I still have two female Tyrunts left over if anyone wants one for breeding.
