My current team
Swampert lv 62 Power up punch Earthquake Ice beam Waterfall
Salmance lv54 Dragon claw Fire Fang Aerial ace Steel Wing
Absol lv 48 Hone claw Stone Edge Night slash Psycho Cut
What other pokemon and moveset should I use Note this is before the elite 4 the first time
Reworking some of my pre-built teams as they include some necessary options for full type coverage, but ultimately undesirable ones from a personal stance. Is there a calculator of some sort out there that I can input my teams into, then see an actual list of recommended Pokemon that can cover their defensive weaknesses, as opposed to tracking them down manually?
So I’ve started crafting a team already but I’m more than willing to make some changes. My current team sitting at the mid 20s now are:
Quaxwell Snom Lycanroc (Dusk) Capsakid Wattrel Clefairy
I would like to keep my starter on the team, and would really like to try snom/frosmoth because I’ve never used a bug type before, any suggestions for replacements; as well as moves, and items are greatly appreciated.
Me and a few of my friends are doing a Nuzlocke and then tournament at the end of Violet/Scarlet, with the mons we have left. I'm not the best at building a functional team for competitive battling and was hoping for some help. I have a azumarill, bellibolt, arboliva, vivillion, magnezone, gardevoir, corvinight, tsareena, palafin, quaquaval, drednaw, ceruledge, baxcalibur, pawmot, dragapult, gyarados, florges, zoroark, arcanine, tsareena, cetitan, iron bundle, and clawitzer. items can be used and it's single battles 6v6. any suggestions are greatly appreciated, thanks in advance!
I have replaced my pickachu for latios what moves should I teach my Pokémon and who should I swap I am heading towards 6 gym leader
Hi Reddit!
I have recently started playing Legends Arceus. Really stuck and confused as to which pokemon should I add to my team. Feel free to suggest bearing in mind I don’t like to have overlapping types in my teams.
Playing Brilliant Diamond on the Switch. I'm a couple gyms into the game and want to make sure the team I've picked is worth grinding.
My team:
Torterra Staraptor Pikachu Haunter Kadabra Gyarados
Any hints/tips or tweaks to my team? I like using iconic Pokemon, but also want a strong team. TIA
Siblings and I are getting together soon so we're gonna have a small tournament.
Rules: one typing, one legendary of that young, one wildcard.
I picked ghost as my typing, recently saw shiny lunala when we were getting the idea for the tournament so that's how I decided 😅, I do see i have a scary dark weakness so I'm wondering if I would make changes.
So far looking to go with toxapex as my wildcard. Honestly can't remember how I reached this idea 😂 I wanted to start by setting up hazards so I guess my first thought was toxapex for toxic spikes. Then have hex on a few of my ghosts and go crazy.
So now I'm second guessing myself, should I change my wildcard to a better hazard setter or further the hazards and put in a bug or fairy to counter dark types? Or use a better hazard setter and take out one of my choices to add a ghost/fairy or ghost/bug?
Hey I could use some help with my pokemon violet team. I want to not use legends, but part of my team is Landorus-Therian so I need some help to get a replacement for my team:
Iron Valiant @ Choice Specs Ability: Quark Drive Tera Type: Fairy EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe Timid Nature IVs: 0 Atk Moonblast Psyshock Aura Sphere Shadow Ball
Kingambit (M) @ Leftovers Ability: Supreme Overlord Tera Type: Flying EVs: 248 HP / 248 Atk / 4 SpD / 8 Spe Adamant Nature Kowtow Cleave Iron Head Sucker Punch Swords Dance
Baxcalibur (M) @ Heavy-Duty Boots Ability: Thermal Exchange Tera Type: Dragon EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe Jolly Nature Glaive Rush Earthquake Ice Shard Swords Dance
Cinderace (M) @ Heavy-Duty Boots Ability: Libero Tera Type: Fire EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe Jolly Nature Pyro Ball High Jump Kick Sucker Punch U-turn
Corviknight @ Rocky Helmet Ability: Pressure Tera Type: Ghost EVs: 248 HP / 8 Atk / 252 Def Relaxed Nature Brave Bird Roost Defog U-turn
Landorus-Therian @ Leftovers Ability: Intimidate Tera Type: Water EVs: 252 HP / 4 Def / 252 SpD Sassy Nature Earthquake Grass Knot U-turn Stealth Rock
My team currently consists of:
I'm not really sure what to put in the last spot, I know I'm a bit weak to psychic/Ice/Electric/Flying but not sure what pokemon should get the last spot to make it as all rounded as possible, all suggestions welcome, I like trying to use slightly obscure options or ones I don't instantly go to (I normally always pick the grass starter cause it makes the game a bit harder and more fun, so this is a new one for me)
I'm currently at gym 5 in HG, my pokemon team has: Feraligatr, Heracross, Acanine, Pidgeotto, Bellosom, Sudowoodo.
Sould I improve anything? My team working pretty well tho
Any help would be appreciated! I was thinking maybe an Ice Type to feed off Glowking’s Chilly Reception and give me another Dragon answer, but any advice on the team as a whole would help.
And how to give better coverage?
Hello! I'm a bit of a noob to competitive Pokemon, and as such, I'm not too sure about how to build things! I've been inspired to try and play a Sableye team using Light Screen, Reflect, Disable and Encore, but I'm a little unsure of how to build them or who to use alongside Sableye. (Just a sidenote, I know this strategy wouldn't be good, but I hate using meta stuff in games, and I like to win using Pokemon I like rather than good ones, eg: Sableye)
I feel like Amoongus and Dragonite would be pretty safe bets, but previous teams have used multiple Paradox Pokemon, which we now don't have access to in the current format, so I'm a little stumped. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!
Recently came across this and remember how much time I pour in it during teenage year think of playing it once more.
The plan is, ya wanna lead groudon and incinaroar, parting shot with incinaroar and go skeledurge. Then you can start racking up torch songs until it snowballs outta control. Flutter Mane, Umbreon, and Liligant are there for backup. Especially liligant, cause she got chlorophyll.
Should I add something? Should I edit it?
Gen 9 Doubles OU: Clefable (Calm Mind; Follow Me; Psych Up; Baton Pass - Magic Guard)
Gliscor (Taunt; Stealth Rock; Poison Jab; Swords Dance - Poison Heal + Toxic Orb)
Jolteon (Thunderbolt; Rain Dance; Shadow Ball; Charge - Quick Feet + Air Balloon)
Archaludon (Draco Meteor; Brick Break; Electro Shot; Iron Defense - Stamina + Weakness Policy)
Corviknight (Drill Peck; Hone Claws; Sunny Day; Tailwind - Unnerve + Weakness Policy)
Charizard (Fire Blast; Solar Beam; Dragon Pulse; Air Slash - Tera: Dragon - Solar Power + Charcoal)
pls rate my team and explain why (I'm kinda new to this kind of thing)
Hi guys! I got a pretty simple question, can anyone help me with these team? I'm new to pokemon and not sure if these moves would work.
Charizard - Flamethrower, Fly, Dragon Claw, Steel Wing
Jolteon - Thunderbolt, Thunder Wave, Shadow Ball, Substitute
Golbat - Aerial Ace, Crunch, Toxic, Hypnosis
Victreebel - Giga Drain, Toxic, Cut, Leech Life
Starmie - Surf, Psychic, Ice Beam, Recover
Marowak - Earthquake, Bone Rush, Strength, Rock Smash
I'm just trying to get a team that can make it through kanto nothing minmaxed for pvp, I would prefer that no moves repeat on different pokemon and that they play kind of how my build for them would. Any suggestions or changes you guys would make for the team?
First playthrough of Pokemon Shield, wanted to know if this was a decent team!
Half of it is my XY team the other half is my ORAS. What should I switch out?
