Rate it. Nao.

Does anyone know a Dark type that could replace my Tyranitar? I don't know which ones will work, or what moves to give it.

[Pokemaster MAC]

How about Hydreigon? it has those Dragon-esque defenses and is Dark/Dragon SP.Atk type. Or, You could go fast hitter with power, Sharpedo.

[TrainerX]

Moveset and ability pl0x.

[Pokemaster MAC]

Well, i'm not too keen on Sharpedo's  moves, but i know some strong ones are Crunch and Waterfall. ability is rough Skin

Hydreigon has Levitate, strong moves would be like Draco Meteor, Dark Pulse, Flamethrower, and Flash Cannon. as for status/stat up moves i'd have to look those up too

[Mr. Fox]

Hyderion:
EQuake
Crunch
Draco Metor
Fire Blast
Item: Life Orb
EVs: 252 speed, 150 SpA, 100 Attack
Hasty Nature

Sharpedo:
Taunt
Crunch
Waterfall
Protect
Item: Leftovers/Life Orb
Evs: 252 Speed, 252 Attack, 4 Hp
Adamant/ Jolly Nature

[Pokemaster MAC]

Did you look them up on PO? i don't have it anymore. My sister's bf said it was okay to download, then decided against it for some reason...

but yeah, those sound pretty good to me, only one thing: Would the Expert Belt do better on Hydreigon? or something like the Muscle band/Wise Glasses to up the Atk/Sp.Atk?

[Mr. Fox]

Trust me, that is a good set. It can break most walls, and makes a great mixed sweeper. The belt might work, but I have never used it with this set...

[Pokemaster MAC]

What about like the shell bell on Sharpedo instead of Leftovers? the more damage it does the more it heals after all, lol if it lives past a first hit. Something else that'd be good is the Rocky Helmet. It adds to the Rough Skin damage that gets done from physical moves

[Mr. Fox]

that set has the speed boost ability. That is why I gave it protect. If you run into something faster then you protect then attack...

[Pokemaster MAC]

Well that's the Dream World ability and you didn't specify which ability Sharpedo had

[Mr. Fox]

forgot... but it is much better then rough skin...

[Pokemaster MAC]

That is definitely right. especially if yoy wanted to have less Speed EVs added in, but where would they go? HP? not likely

[Mr. Fox]

max speed, attack for a sweeper...

[Pokemaster MAC]

I'm aware of that. Mine is Darmanitan. It surprisingly is powerful and fast. This currently is my pkmn White team:

-Hydreigon (M)
-Haxorus (F) (Fraxia)
-Samurott (M)
-Volcarona (M) (Mothra)
-Galvantula (M)
-Zekrom (N) (Shade)

[zylonnick]

Feel free to rate this mono-fighting team. The lucario-set is a surprise-set I made from scratch. i use Me first mostly on dragons (I love it when a salamence uses draco meteor on me) and other predictable stuff like that (EQ etc). I'm not really sure about my poliwrath, or what items to use. Suggestions are welcome

Since Poliwrath is my weakest pokemon, I will probably change him for another pokémon.
Do you guys have any good replacement for him (considering my team)?
