Jaden Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 So I decided to try and create my own pokemon team..This is a first time for me Let's say that all of the pokemons below have IV of 31 in each stat and EV of 252 in both Attack and Speed, remaining 6 EV go to HP, and a Timid/Jolly ability . What would you say on the following combination: Electivire: Fire Punch, Ice Punch, Thunderbolt, Signal Beam.Metagross: Meteor Mash, Rock Slide, Psychic, Earthquake.Dragalge: Play Rough, Sludge Bomb, Surf, Dragon Pulse.Spiritomb: Shadow Ball, Nasty Plot, Will-O-Wisp, Dark Pulse.Breloom: Strength, Sky Uppercut, Seed Bomb, Swords Dance.Togekiss: Ancient Power, Extreme Speed, Dazzling Gleam, Fly.As you can see I tried having at least one move from each Type. What do you guys think? What should be taken off/ added in? I'd appreciate your help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shad_ Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 Looks pretty solid, buuuut -Mmmh, i'd say to run Electivire either Special or Physical, this way you could use better sets Some examples: Special set: Thunderbolt, Signal Beam, Flamethrower, a good HP (like Grass to deal with Ground Types) Physical set: I'm not quite sure about this one, but if you want a coverage set then Cross Chop (breeding w/ Conkeldurr), Thunder Punch, Fire Punch, Ice Punch -I'd say it's pointless to run a mixed Metagross with just a Special move...replace Psychic with Zen Headbutt and change Metagross' nature into Adamant -The same as Electivire Special set: Hydro Pump, Sludge Wave, Shadow Ball, Dragon Pulse Physical set: Play Rough, Waterfall, Dragon Tail (this move is surprisingly useful), Poison Tail -I like Tomb's set, keep it this way -Replace Strength with Spore, if the foe is asleep you can set up SD easily -I tested some sets for Toge personally, and the better one to use in game is (since we don't have many TMs available) is a Special one with Dazzling Gleam, Air Slash, Nasty Plot, Extrasensory (breeding w/ Noctowl) OR Aura Sphere Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lugruf Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 For Spiritomb, it doesn't really make sense to have both Shadow Ball and Dark Pulse as they have the same super effective coverage. Maybe Psyquic as a coverage move could be better. For Breloom, try Mach Punch instead of Sky Uppercut. Breloom is not too fast, so priority comes in handy, and with technician it hits very hard. Also Bullet Seed hits harder than Seed Bomb almost always if you're running technician. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redo. Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 Dragalge is slow and Bulky, you will get the best of him a Modest nature, 252 EV's in SpA and HP (6 in Speed if you want), and for the movepool Dragon Pulse, Sludge Wave, Hydro Pump and Toxic is a good bet (Toxic stall is sometimes better than pure damage). Also, quite surprising that you didn't go for a Paraflinch Togekiss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll take them into consideration! Btw, is there any major difference between physical and special attacks? I don't quite seem to understand the difference between the two..

Also Bullet Seed hits harder than Seed Bomb almost always if you're running technician. Thanks for the suggestions! Isn't Breloom always running Technician since it's its Hidden Ability? Since I'm new to the game I don't quite understand these abilities yet..But I thought a Hidden Ability remains hidden and cannot be changed?

Also, quite surprising that you didn't go for a Paraflinch Togekiss. Yeah, I wanted to ask about that, how do people determine which EV skills and Nature are best suited for a certain pokemon? I mean, I always thought Speed is the best skill to EV train and Attack/HP comes in second..Care to explain it to a newby? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's take Electivire for example: Its Base Stat Attack it's higher than its Base Stat Sp. Attack, so imo you should run it Physical. There are also natures that influence these stats, like Modest or Rush for the Sp. Atk and Adamant or Brave for the Atk. - In Reborn you can get mons with Hidden Abilities even in the wild, a pokémon doesn't always have its Hidden Ability, it can even have another of its abilities. If you don't get the ability you want however you can use an Ability Capsule to change it, you can find them lurking around in the game. - Well, if you EV train in Speed and Attack a Slowbro for example it would be useless xD As i told you before, by seeing the Base Stats of a mon you can see what stats are worth invest some EVs on. Slowbro is more suited to be EV trained in Sp. Atk and Sp, Def/Def/HP for example, since its a slow and bulky pokémon. If you have other questions just ask, hope to have helped Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Garnet. Posted March 12, 2016 Share Posted March 12, 2016 (edited) A couple of things to note: two turn attacks aren't very good in general, they take entirely too long. Most mons dont like to run mixed sets, and the ones that do have a tricky EV spread and nature, it's really not recommended. Lastly, you're going to want to bring priority: metagross gets bullet punch, breloom gets mach punch, etc. Also, if at all possible, dont run HM moves on your own pokemon; if you have to, at least run a TM move that can be removed etc. As far as i remember, HMs become XMs in this game and can be forgotten? doc me if im wrong I hope this helps! (EDIT: i thought this was competitive and made an error) Edited March 13, 2016 by Spade Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
