What about Snorlax? Would that do?

Sylveon

GliscorI have two open spots, you guys got any ideas?
I first need to also know what your team is aiming for. Is it just a team that you want to handle any threat? Do you want to set up a Sylveon sweep? There isn't a real "objective" persay. True, Pokemon teams don't need an objective, but your seems all over the place from CM Sylveon to Stall Gliscor to a weird Stallbreaker Noivern that I'm not sure what's up.
My first impression is you might want a way to set up Stealth Rock, or a way to get rid of Stealth Rock, or both.
Pewsks Wrote:I need a Pokemon that can counter bulky Water/Ground/Rock types. Naturally I would look towards Grass types but I haven't had much luck yet. I don't like Breloom (major nerf thanks to Fairy weakness, and Spore can't touch Grass types now) and I just tried Regenerator Tangrowth but it got wrecked by anything special. Especially since most water types carry Ice Beam. My next best bet might be a bulky water of my own with a grass move. Any suggestions?
Ferrothorn, Shaymin, Zapdos, Celebi, Virizion, and Amoonguss seem alright (the more obvious ones are listed first. Amoonguss is...well...judging by the amount of time I took to think of him as a "counter"...)

Ribbonpig Wrote:What about Snorlax? Would that do?I think Mamoswine with thick fat can do the job better. Have more physical coverage (rock, earthquake, ice), and maybe get ice shard on that to revenge kill stuff, I don't know. It's hard to make any team perfect, but we can try to see how well they do.

I always mess around on Showdown before making a team in-game. Plus, I like to take my time in-game, but this after E4 stuff (friend safari omg) is making me want to hurry up. >:
I don't really have an objective.. I kinda just mess around and hope I win. Maybe that's why I'm no good? Derno
Aegislash
Greninja
Talonflame
Ferrothorn
Hippowdon
Gengar
explanationsss
I also really like sand veil garchomp, toxic heal breloom, blaziken, contrary serperior.. Maybe a trapping gliscor, gastrodon, shuckle? Would any of these fit in/replace anything I have now? Mega khan also looks cool, but I think Gengar is too broken to be replaced.

Okay, I think I'm gonna go for stall until Bank comes out. Would this be any better? I'm gonna redo Sylveon for Wish
Sylveon
Gliscor
Blissey
Mamoswine
Greninja
I'd still have one spot open.

How normal people plays pokemon: Ok i'm going to use my doublade with an eviolite to raise its DEF than gonna use recover.. bla bla bla..
How I play pokemon: EARTHQUAKE TO EVERYONE MOTHER F**KERS!!

Just tried breeding T.Spikes and SR on to a Klefki, but neither worked.
Team building thread - CrimsonJohnny - 2013-10-27
I don't have X/Y yet (Or even a 3DS) but I sure do love theorycrafting. Besides, it will be good if I can iron out the flaws before actually working on raising the team. So, please tell me how this Trick Room team looks:
Smeargle
Aegislash
Clawitzer
Reuniclus
Porygon 2
Mawile
Notes
I kind of just slapped this team together, so I probably overlooked a lot of flaws. I also lack knowledge of X and Y, so there might be some amazing hold items or counters to some of these pokemon I don't know about. Any input is appreciated.

CrimsonJohnny Wrote:thingsPorygon2 isn't going to wall much of anything, especially with those EVs and just its stats in general. You're probably better off picking something that can actually wall if that's what you're using Porygon2 for.
Team building thread - CrimsonJohnny - 2013-10-27
I couldn't find many things that could use Trick Room, afford to take a hit, and have a not entirely useless offense. And if Porygon 2's defenses after Eviolite won't allow it to take a (neutral) hit, then I'm not sure what to put in its place.
Team building thread - Kubi - 2013-10-27
Think trick room might be higher maintenance to keep up in this generation compared to the last, but it can still surprise people. Cofragrigus and Bronzong are good users for trick room. On the flipside, if you get it work, I'd recommend putting in Tyranitar or Rhyperior part of that team.

They're not going to sweep, but they're not 10 attack Shuckles either.

Somewhat came up with a mono Steel team.
Lucario
Scizor
Aegislash
Klefki
Skarmory
I need to fill that last slot and I was thinking of using Mold Breaker Excadrill or Defiant Bisharp. Still ironing out the team, might swap out the Skarmory for something else like Forretress or Ferrothorn and make some move changes to some Pokes. I know I have a huge weakness to Fire which is why I was thinking of running Rain Dance on something like Klefki. Any advice is appreciated.

Air Balloon Heatran? Heatproof Bronzong (everybody expects Levitate anyway)?
Mono-Steel tends to have problems since most of them are weak to the same types, with little diversity.

So far this is the team I've created
Greninja
Aegislash
Arcanine
Gardevoir
Togekiss
Ludicolo
I don't really know what to do about Ludicolo, I might put in more Def also I don't really know what item to give him.

I don't like using Legendary pokemon so that's a no on Heatran, unless if I can get him ingame. I would like to use Empoleon for that last slot, but I would have to wait until PokeBank opens. I guess I can give up on mono Steel for now and run a Sandstorm team by making some slight adjustments.
Team building thread - CakesXD - 2013-10-27
Been fiddling around on Showdown lately, currently have a decent rank (high 1800s) so far.
Greninja
Hawlucha
Landorus-Therian
MegaManectric
Kyurem-B
Empoleon
Critiques, comments and suggestions are all appreciated.
Team building thread - Kubi - 2013-10-28
I usually like putting 1 or 2 pokemon with a priority move or two into my team. It's for either revenge killing or to make sure I can hit or do something before a scarfed pokemon outspeeds me.
I know Greninja is good on attacking, speed, and protean, but it'd be pretty situational to outright counter it right?
It's either hit it with something faster than it / use a priority move before it can do anything (like Breloom with Mach punch) or take a chance/predict what it'll use and switch into something that could resist its attacks and fire something back. Greninja can fool the in-game AI pretty easily, but not a human xD.

Icedemontrihorn Wrote:[COLOR="#008080"]Chansey over an eeveelution? I mean, chansey is good in terms of defense but this means I have to be a bit patient if I want to get a safari zone with a chansey (same with Galvantula) if I want to make my dream team....which isn't too too hard but I do want to face against my friends with this team. Maybe I can have an Shuckle and the eeveelution or something for the time being until I get the two.
Other than that, thanks for the help![/COLOR]
My FS has Chansey.
Hmm, I never considered being serious when it came to making teams but I want to earn some BP from the Battle Maison. I'd love to have a team that revolves around Dephox. I like being annoying but I also like quick wins. (Totally not being helpful)

What other pokemon do you like? I mean if you want really quick you might as well carry a pokemon that knows shell smash and baton pass it to delphonx and have her sweep.
