Arkhi Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 Do you mean how to use the Teambuilder or how to build a good, competitive team? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sonikku Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 I said this about a month ago, but I have a few things 2 add. "NEED A TUTOR DESPERATELY @_@" So, I've been playing Pokémon Competetively for 1 year now (Ever since X/Y came out) I could say that I "kinda" know how most of the mechanics work, but I've been having a problem troughout my whole experience, which is "Team Building". I simply cannot get the idea of how to build teams, I try building around a poké but then again I keep getting walled and whatsoever. @@" Help would be appreaciated, ty. I have been watching battles since X/Y came out, but I started battling when Nations started. To start teambuilding, you'll need to find a single pokemon or pair of pokemon to build around. They can be any of the roles listed below. Its quite easy to teambuild when you pick a pokemon capable of mega evolving. This is not mandatory to have a viable team keep in mind. Then from there, you'll do well with support/utility. Such as pokemon that can set up entry hazards, heal others, etc. This role can be played by two pokemon if you like. To keep from being walled, make a wall of your own. I typically run two of them for physical and special defense. Walls can also be supportive and set up hazards. If walling a wall doesn't work, you'll need a wallbreaker. Wallbreakers do what they suggest. A great form of wallbreaking is using priority. For example, a choice banded Scizor can rip apart almost every fairy type wall, such as Sylveon and Clefable. Some great wallbreakers are Magnezone, Crawdaunt and Porygon Z. Staller: If not taken care of quick, stallers will destroy your team. Some of the greatest stallers of the metagame are Chansey, Gliscor, and Shuckle. If you have problem dealing with some of these, grab a wallbreaker. Taunt is also a good way of shutting them down. You knew I was getting to this, huh? And there is the Broom. They also do what they suggest. Sweep. Bulky or not, they mean business. In order to do so, you'll need to take care of any walls that might get in their way. A team can consist of any amount of pokemon that play any number of these roles. They just need to work well together, and if they do, you got yourself a nice team. Here is a sample team. Feel free to use it. Bring Dat Ass Here. (Diggersby) (M) @ Life Orb Ability: Huge Power EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spe Adamant Nature - Return - Earthquake - Quick Attack - Swords Dance What Is Love? (Tornadus-Therian) (M) @ Life Orb Ability: Regenerator EVs: 76 Atk / 216 SpA / 216 Spe Naive Nature - Hurricane - U-turn - Taunt - Superpower SHINE BRIGHT QAQ (Sableye) (F) @ Sablenite Ability: Prankster EVs: 252 HP / 240 Def / 16 SpD Bold Nature - Dark Pulse - Will-O-Wisp - Recover - Calm Mind Shanghai (Dragalge) (F) @ Choice Specs Ability: Adaptability EVs: 244 HP / 252 SpA / 12 SpD Modest Nature - Focus Blast - Dragon Pulse - Draco Meteor - Sludge Wave Nike (Victini) @ Choice Band Ability: Victory Star EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe Adamant Nature - U-turn - Zen Headbutt - Bolt Strike - V-create nom nom nom (Skarmory) (F) @ Rocky Helmet Ability: Sturdy EVs: 252 HP / 4 Atk / 252 Def Impish Nature - Brave Bird - Stealth Rock - Roost - Defog Typically I like making balanced teams, but I need to try other kinds like wall teams, stall and hyper offensive. Variety is key to becoming a pokemon master. Always remember that. Okay, nowabout this team. Diggersby serves as a horrifying wallbreaker, with the power to overpower most anything that isn't a ghost and levitating. Tornadus-T with a Life Orb is very powerful, and a reliable pivot, and with its ability it can heal itself when it switches out, making U-turn very important. Also capable of handling difficolt pokemon (Keldeo is the colt pokemon) ( hue get it?) such as Gengar. You can also run Heat Wave for greater coverage, but I prefer this set. Sableye is a fantastic wall.gardevoir and fairies in general can skin sableye Utilize prankster before it mega evolves by using Willo and Calm Mind. When you fear or just don't want them on you, mega evolve to bounce status moves back such as hazards, and other status ailments. Keep in mind, On the turn it megas, a pokemon has both abilities from its base and mega. TOK ABOURT BORKEN AMIRITE MAYTE? Dragalge is also a wallbreaker. With the release of its hidden ability from ORAS, it is a terrifying fairy slayer. Draco Meteor is going to smash a huge dent on anything. Sludge Wave is there to help with fairies of course. It often scares many pokemon like keldeo and azumarill out, I have no idea why. This team is full of wallbreakers!!! Victini is so goddamn powerfull. V-Create cannot miss ( taking other modifiers out of the situ) with the help of Victory Star. Use this man to scare Gardevoir out or to kill one. Look. Send it out. Use V-Create. Watch It Burn. Skarmory. With the fantastic combo of the Steel and Flying types, Skarmory is unarguably one of the best walls of the meta game. It can set up hazards, blow them away, smash pinsir, hawlucha, etc. And it can eat up a +2 attack tough claws boosted thunderpunch from Mega Metagross. Yeah. Wow. Sorry, I kinda- okay I REALLY rambled about this team. But my older quote states the basics. Thanks if you read everything! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NickCrash Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 Try to make your own team, because the particular archetype might not fit your style. There are 4 basic team archetypes. You can find much needed information in this topic, where they are discussed and presented in a manner easy for people to learn and improve their play.
