How do you make your teams?

[Counter Bug]

Oh man, where did you learn Pokemon?
You can't tell me im a noob, cause that wouldn't explain I pwn Netbattle >_>
Anyway, I know what im talking about. I already used them all and my experiences really showed whats better.

1. I didn't tell you to use a lead-meta with offensive set. And yes, Choice item meta owns, one of the best leads. Why? You can use Stealth Rock. You can trick the oponent every time. You can attack with a chansey high attack. Its bulky enough to be a lead. Other trick-leads will get the choice band. You can switch that Meta in later when you predict trick.
2. You seem not to know Dusknoirs base attack. Brick Break is good enough and can break the reflect and light screen. I mean, Brick Break will also pwn Blissey, so wheres the difference? I will just switch in a pokemon, which stalls or a bulky roarer etc.
3. Trick is not just a mov to beat Blissey. But if you really can't beat it, then im sorry for you
4. Sry, I meant Speed. Even worse than sp. defense haha
5. Yeah, you have no skill u bob
6. doesn't matter you are copying from smogon >_>
7. muahah you noob, learn how to play pokemon against other players, not against the weak cpu's.

Don't try to make my post be wrong, I know I'm right

I use this awesome poliwag that sweeps nearly everything with this great combo I came up with. It goes:
1.hypnosis
2.belly drum
3. waterfall or wakeup slap, depending on the pokemon's type.
 This strategy fails if hypnosis doesn't hit or if poliwag gets 50%> health, so it's not very reliable, but i still like to use it because its a poliwag.

I'm pretty sure right now I'd be totally justified in telling you to battle him in Shoddy Battle without using any ev spreads or movesets remotely similar to those on Smogon.
Kgo.

K, show me on Smogon, 100% original builds and stat spread kkthxbye!?
And im on IRC; so just log on and we can battle

[Phosphorous]

I'm not gonna lie. This will be something I'm gonna have to start learning just because I've only battled NPC's xD

Although I don't think Id want to use legendarys just because it seems too cliche. I'd want some original pokemon, although I know that's not gonna happen with the way pokemon are balanced.

[FaridXZA]

i like fire type pokemon especially the starters because they level up so fast... i like torkoal too as my pokemon emerald team..

In fact, all three starters level up the same rate. It's only the type of pokemon you battle which determine the amount of exp you gain.

really? thanks, i didn't knew that...

Nice plan Stephen you seem very experienced.

Nice plan Stephen you seem very experienced.

Those are just my favorite pokemon 

but yes, I did plan that team combo.

[Interested Listener]

oh alright.

[Jerry]

Hmm, it's quite good. I suggest you make something that can withstand an electivire. (and you're relying too much on luck , just IMO).

Electivire @ Leftovers (F)
6 HP, 252 Atk, 252 Def
Ability: Motor Drive, Nature: Brave (+Atk, - Spd)
- Thunder Punch
- Brick Break
- Attract
- Thunder Wave

A pokemon that I made up quickly. It having only Thunderpunch and Brick Break are threats to your team. Plus it's bulky to your 2/3 physical sweepers of your team, with weak def, together with Attract and Leftovers, it'll sure cause you great trouble.

From here, I showed you your weak points. in a battle, be aware of them!

[SpaceDuck420]

Ampharos

Breloom

Crawdaunt

Swellow

Ninetales

Alakazam

I kinda look at types and try to pick the most useful but all in all they're just all ones i really like. Legends are over-rated

Houndoom (M) @ Scope Lens
Ability: Flash Fire
EVs: 4 HP/253 Spd/253 SAtk
Hasty nature (+Spd, -Def)
- Dark Pulse
- Flamethrower
- Sludge Bomb
- Double Team

Dubble team is as now "not viable" in the current meta game. Accuracy reducing or "dodge" increasing ones are seen as "op" Just so you know.

Scope lens is a pretty cool item on paper, but its not very useful. If you want to increase Hundoom´s damage, I say go life orb.

Also 252Spe/252SpA is enough, that extra 1point doesn't do anything, at all.

Why is Hundoom carrying sludge bomb? What are you trying to cover with this move?
Its 2x effective vs grass... But so is flamethrower, which receives STAB. I say get Taunt, Sucker punch, Thunder Fang or something instead... Wasted move-slot.

Same thing here with Double Team, otherwise set looks fine.

Im not a big fan of Zangoose and nor am I an expert on this pokemon, but I s ay remove one of the punch moves and get some STAB in there.

Well, at least you got a stab move in there this time...
I say fit Sucker punch in there somewhere, you are going to get outsped and OHKOD by almost anything, Absol is squishy.

Weavile (M) @ Scope Lens
Ability: Pressure
EVs: 4 HP/253 Atk/253 Spd
Lonely nature (+Atk, -Def)
- Ice Punch

- Aerial Ace

I like this set, but I dont think you are utilizing Weavile´s "Fear Factor" here.
I say go with Ice shard over X- scissor, or go with pursuit.

I have no idea what your going for here...



So, to summarize; I think its cool that you opt to go for something a bit more unique, but I feel you are lacking in the revenge killing department. And something like Mix-Ape will RAPE this team like a Pervert teaching kids to dance... naked.
Your team is aslo very slow, and has no priority moves and will get raped by anything with DD.

3of your pokes are SR weak, and you dont have SR yourself.
You dont have any status moves.
No Phazer
No entry hazards
No Weather effects
No real tank to soak up any damage.

There are MANY more problems with this team, but I honestly dont have the time of will to go into the details.

I think its cool for wifi casual games, and you might even win a few, but at a higher level this team will get you nowhere.



   

[Maquiavelus]

I usually make my team with a bunch of punks. The starter and Gyarados are always there. Then,  I usually have another Dragon Type (I prefer Dragonite but I've also used Salamence and Garchomp...), an Earth type (Nidoqueen, Nidoking or Aggron), a Ghost type (Gengar, Mismagius or Dusknoir), a Dark Type (Houndom or Tiranytar).

My last team in Pokemon Pearl was:
-Empoleon
-Gyrados
-Rhyperior
-Salamence
-Houndoom
-Gengar

I teached Thunderbolt to Gengar and Gyarados to cover the lack of an Electric Type Pokemon.
