"Tough love" is a poor excuse for being a jerk.

But anyway. If they don't gasp and complain about my inexperience, I might consider posting a team I'd like tips on.

Meh, they seem like jerks to any first timers, really. But there's no need to worry about it. <__>


They are actualy really lenient to those so long as you clearly mention that you "Have inexperience with competitive play" since it IS a competitive site they just assume one would know what they were doing, hence the comments they make. <__>

But if you post saying your new to it all, yoru fine. And since I know you ARE new to it all, your fine. <__<

Yeah, I've just decided to go ahead and register.

So, new team (Ripped some kids off...keke)

Absol Lvl 99 (Probably my favorite ever)
Perish Song
Swords Dance
Night slash
Double team

Meganium lvl 99
Solarbeam
Aromatherapy
Earthquake
Toxic

Gengar Lvl 99
Taunt (Set up move)
Sucker punch (BAM SUCKA!)
Double team
Psychic

Snorlax lvl 99
Body Slam
Defense Curl
Crunch
Amnesia

Feraligator lvl 99
Surf
Waterfall
Rain dance
Ice beam

Infernape Lvl 99
Sunny Day
Flamethrower
Grass knot
U-turn

Opinions?

Absol sucks, so I never use it...so no comment. <__>


You chose the worst Grass Starter ever. <__> Ditch it and get either a Sceptile or Venuasaur.



Oh, wow, a pokemon I actually use. <__>

I'd recommend...

Gengar@Wide Lens
Thunder
Shadow Ball
Hypnosis
Focus Blast

While both Thunder and Focus Blast have only 70% accuracy, Wide Lens opens that up a bit (To 80% I believe...grood odds.) Shadow Ball for STAB, Hypnosis for LOL.





Fail'd. Good mon, needs a new moveset. <__>

Snorlax@Leftovers
Curse (Egg move)
Return
Crunch
Rest

Curse for power up (Snorlax lacks speed anyway..you aren't losing anything) Reutrn for a good STAB move, Rest for low HP and whatnot. Snorlax can take the hits. Crunch for ghosts.


...First: The only good HM is Surf. Waterfall sometimes, but that's it. <__>

Second: All moves safe for Ice Beam are Water. EW.

Third: Moveset:

Scarfer@Adherence Scarf
Jolly
HP 92 / Atk 252 / Spd 160
~ Waterfall / Aqua Tail
~ Dragon Claw
~ Earthquake
~ Shadow Claw / Brick Break / Rock Slide

(Credit goes to PLDH on the set.)




Infernape can not take hits. Get rid of Sunny Day. If your going for a mixxed sweeper (Which it's obvious you are) Replace it with Close Combat. 120 Attack+STAB? NYCE.


You have been roasted, good day sir. <__>

Why don't you give Gengar Confuse Ray, since it works pretty much all the time?

Confuse Ray is for an annoyer set, which the Gengar I suggested is not. >__>

Hypnosis is a useful move, since the pokemon can not attack, PERIOD, unlike Confuse Ray.

Teej, I got a few offers from a friend, I'm getting a venusaur for that Meganium, and I changed Infernape's attack to Close combat for sunny day. I'm keeping Surf and Ice beam, but what should I give Feraligator. And I just fixed Snorlax. I just started working on that Gengar issue. So i'll have my team set pretty much like what you said this time tommorrow. Thanks alot though.

You got a Curselax already? O__O

I really can't help you with Feraligatr then....Feraligatr= Physical Attacker.

Also, I'll post a Venusaur set when you get it.

You know, though I don't have much interest in playing competitively, I am interested in getting certain Pokemon. Could you help me there, Teej?

Tell me what pokes you need and I'll try my best. :O

If I could get a Blaziken, Salamance, and Scizor, that would be really swell.

I have a Torchic that can breed.

Hell, even I'M looking for a Bagon.

I havea Syther, but not it's evo item. <__>


So...1/3 can be done. V__V

Edited by Teej on June 22, 2007 at 21:50:38.

What do you mean, you don't have an evo item for Scizor? Wouldn't it be a Scyther if you don't have the evo item?

When one says "I don't have the evo item for Scizor" it actually means "I don't have the evo item to MAKE a Scizor."

So yes. <__>

Except you said you have a Scizor.

Edited by RisingDragon on June 22, 2007 at 21:48:31.

Eh, just gettin' a Torchic would be fine for now, then. We can hammer out details tomorrow.

Indeed, I have a Weavile to train anyway. <__>

Honestly, I dislike any Pokemon after G/S/C and I really hate the ones after R/S/E. Give me the 151 I like and the other 151 I can tolerate, and that's good enough for me.

Blaziken's awesome, though. He's like the Captain Falcon of Pokemon.

FALCON...PAAAAAUNCH!

I just got That venusaur...

Lol, Venusaur. If I were to go for grass, I'd go with Sceptile because it can actually move. In my opinion, Venusaur is too easily swept, and having Poison as a second type does NOT help in the competitive scene; while you now resist bug and fighting and are neutral to poison, you are neutral to ground (a Dugtrio sweeper can probably down you) and weak to Psychic.
And I found both GC/GBA link transfer cables...
That level 72 Misdreavus is going to make a good Mismagius.
You still need that Raikou, Teej?

No, eyem good.


So, I had a battle with a PLDH member, Kupo today, and he recorded the fight!

I'm the challenger in this vid, AKA the one who started with Weavile. I OHKO'd his Azelf, he crippled Weavile, so I spammed him since he would be useless later. Forgot Pory-Z had choice scarf so could only Ice Beam...


So, I had a handicap, but it was a good fight.
