How tedious is that? I was trying to do some trade evos with myself over GTS so I put up my Dusclops for my Thundurus because I thought no one else would want to make that trade. Someone did it by the time I got to my other game.

So I got back into Showdown and boy am I horrible in making teams. I've yet to win a single match with my Eeveelution UU team, I almost always get bodied by an electric type, because I have gently caress-all for damage against those. I lead with the Every Day the Leafeon (Heat Rock, Chlorophyl): Sunny Day Solarbeam X-Scissor Leaf Blade Set up for one-turn Solarbeam shinianigans plus almost noone expects me to lead with this thing. Then there's V A P E O R the Vaporion (Life Orb, Water Absorb) Blizzard Scald Protect Signal Beam with Thunders, the Jolteon (Air Balloon, Volt Absorb) Thunder Volt Switch HP: Fighting Double Edge This thing and it's volt absorb is the only real way I can tank any electric attack, and the balloon allows me to switch into earthquakes and live a turn. and FleshRibbons the Sylveon (Focus Sash, Pixilate) Hyper Voice Psyshock Calm Mind Reflect also the pair of Neo the Umbreon (Synchronize, Rocky Helmet) Toxic Pursuit Shadow Ball Foul Play and Morpheus the Espeon (Leftovers, Magic Bounce) Psychic Wish Substitute Iron Tail So far it's going pretty horribly  The only times I'm close is when stuff crits. So, how do you deal with electric types as an Eeveelution team, thread?

Is there a decent guide/checklist for Pokemon Emerald? My recent obsession with Pokemon Go has got me itching again and luckily I still have an old DS with Emerald and Platinum. My current plan is: (1) make sure I can actually transfer stuff between the two games, (2) wrap things up in Emerald and transfer Pokemon, (3) reset Emerald and start fresh. I barely touched the end-game content outside of the legendaries and I want to make sure I make the most of my old save.

I've yet to win a single match with my Eeveelution UU team, I almost always get bodied by an electric type, because I have gently caress-all for damage against those. These may be the worst movesets/item combos I have ever seen.  Why on earth are you throwing garbage like Iron Tail on Espeon? Putting protect on a slow pokemon with a life orb? 2 dark and a ghost type move on Umbreon??? Like... goddamn. Try something more like I lead with the Every Day the Leafeon (Heat Rock, Chlorophyll): Sunny Day Swords Dance X-Scissor Leaf Blade Then there's V A P E O R the Vaporion (Leftovers, Water Absorb) Ice Beam Scald Wish Protect with Thunders, the Jolteon (Air Balloon, Volt Absorb) Thunderbolt Volt Switch HP: ice Shadow ball and FleshRibbons the Sylveon (Choice Specs, Pixilate) Hyper Voice Psyshock Hidden power: fire Shadow Ball also the pair of Neo the Umbreon (Synchronize, Rocky Helmet) Toxic Wish Protect Foul Play and Morpheus the Espeon (Choice Specs, Magic Bounce) Psyshock Dazzling Gleam Grass Knot Shadow Ball Which at least fixes some of the movesets. How are you allocating EVs? Quick rules of thumb 1) don't do mixed attacking sets on most pokemon 2) don't use moves with garbage accuracy (Iron Tail, Blizzard, Thunder) unless you have some way to negate it or really, really need the power 3) Coverage is important. Don't put two dark moves and a ghost move on the same pokemon. They hit almost the exact same things super-effectively. 4) Your team has zero synergy. None of the eeveelutions movesets are designed to support any of the others. Why have a sunny day user that only helps itself, for instance? My suggestion is to experiment a bit and also get rid of some of the eeveelutions.

You want Pokemon who can dish out those specific type moves, strong ones, and be those corresponding types as well. Make sure someone has a good Grass type move too to use. (I taught Solar Beam to Charizard) I was able to wipe the floor with my Charizard/Infernape, Greninja, and Emolga and not need anyone else. Granted they were all at least level 70+ by the time I got there but still.

N-no, they're from Pokemon Showdown. Though I do have a real shiny klefki. Well, I mainly use the cofag as the lead, with chatot and gengar as my special sweeps and breloom and infernape as my attack sweeps. I don't know what to use with klefki so I just use them as a dualscreener. I really want to make full incense useful, even thought it's rarely worked out, admittedly.

Chatot @ Choice Specs Ability: Tangled Feet Shiny: Yes EVs: 4 Def / 252 SpA / 252 Spe Timid Nature IVs: 0 Atk - Chatter - Boomburst - U-turn - Heat Wave Chatot is bad enough without getting outsped by base 80's so run timid Tangled Feet might actually get used at some point Even with screens support chatot isn't realistically gonna be able to setup on anything because it isn't really a natural threat and if it does setup it would have a broken sash and would get popped by any priority move U-turn isn't for damage, just momentum. Cofagrigus @ Rocky Helmet Ability: Mummy Shiny: Yes EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 Spd Bold Nature IVs: 0 Atk - Shadow Ball - Haze - Pain Split - Will-O-Wisp Run an attacking move so that you aren't taunt bait; you also already have magic coat on this team Klefki @ Light Clay Ability: Prankster Shiny: Yes IVs: 0 Atk EV's: 252 HP/ 252 Spd / 4 Def - Light Screen - Magic Coat - Reflect - Play Rough/Foul Play You're trying to do too many things with this and once again it's taunt bait with no way to retaliate. Screen sets need light clay to function properly and switcheroo only serves to harm you. Also use an iron ball next time because full incense cuts priority which is the last thing you want Foul Play is going to do a lot more damage most of the time but you also would really appreciate the fairy coverage because this team gets reamed by strong dark types Gengar @ Life Orb Ability: Levitate Shiny: Yes EVs: 252 SpA / 4 HP / 252 Spe Timid Nature IVs: 0 Atk - Shadow Ball - Focus Blast/Dazzling Gleam - Sludge Wave - Taunt Dark and ghost have the same coverage, don't use them together. Non-stab giga drain is a bad move Poison STAB is good and you absolutely need it Gengar's movepool is too good to choice, life orb gives it power and taunt can stop you from getting swept Breloom @ Life Orb Ability: Technician Shiny: Yes EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Spd/ 252 Spe Jolly Nature - Spore - Bullet Seed - Mach Punch - Swords Dance Breloom has two amazing abilities and you should never ever ever run effect spore If you run breloom you run spore Swords Dance takes advantage of the screens you setup and gives breloom both guaranteed sleep and solid bulk to scare pokemon out for free dances, and even if it doesn't sweep or tear down their walls you still can still soften them up for Infernape @ Choice Band Ability: Blaze/Iron Fist EVs: 252 Atk/ 4 Spd/ 252 Spe Jolly Nature - Close Combat - Flare Blitz - Stone Edge/Thunderpunch - U-turn I don't like choice infernape, but it gets you an instant wallbreaker who isn't quite so redundant with breloom on the team Thunderpunch helps beat down bulky water types, but honestly you have breloom for that, which is why I sided it off in favor of stone edge. Stone edge means this team isn't instantly mulched the second charizard-x/y comes out because you have no rocks and no fire resists U-turn is always good especially with another choiced u-turner on the team Ruggington fucked around with this message at 16:15 on Sep 19, 2016 |

Samurott is such a disappointing design for so many reasons. Not an otter Biped > biped > quadruped (what?) Uses swords he keeps holstered on his front arms(why?), and also they can magically stretch out because(???) Looks like he's got some on his back legs too, when and how is he ever going to use those? Has to stand on 3 legs while he swings a sword, can only ever use 1 of his 2 swords for this reason (why not stand up?) Has functional hands, but walks on all fours like a bitch Stupid-looking shell-horn-hat not in fitting with any elements of his previous forms What the gently caress is that tail, otters are not cetaceans Gains points for a cool face stache, then loses them immediately for his unkempt neckstache Doesn't even keep the right color scheme It looks like it was designed by a bunch of kids from deviantart that couldn't agree on anything.
