Neo Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 Without Espeon, Taunt completely fucks you over. Otherwise, I like it. Props for using Maractus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zen Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 Maybe use something with HP Fire to 'feed' heatmor's power? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FraRPetO Posted March 12, 2012 Author Share Posted March 12, 2012 I changed Crustle's Bulldoze to Hidden Power Ice, changed nature too, +Attack, -Sp. Def That should take care of those bulky Gliscors easier. Considering Hidden Power Fighting on Heatmor instead of HP Ice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FraRPetO Posted March 12, 2012 Author Share Posted March 12, 2012 I replaced it with Hidden Power Fighting, anyway Hidden Power still Ice on Heatmor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phazer Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 Much better then last time, looks very neat and I like it. Could try Nasty Plot on Crobat so Heatmor can snatch that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FraRPetO Posted March 21, 2012 Author Share Posted March 21, 2012 I replaced Espeon with Xatu, and that makes it Borderline as well I changed it to Xatu, because it can use Tailwind, once Crobat's tailwind is down. And access to Roost is also nice, so Heatmor can snatch it. Dual Screens as well, so Xatu is all about support, can't attack. Changed Crobat's Torment to Nasty Plot, so it can be snatched, and because torment hasn't been used at all in battle. Changed Maractus' Cotton Spore with Growth, so Heatmor can snatch it as well, if it needs it. That's all, and this team has been quite succesfull, even against some upper tiers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phazer Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 Take off growth from Maractus, why get a +1 when you could get a +2. Keep Cotton Guard on Maractus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FraRPetO Posted March 22, 2012 Author Share Posted March 22, 2012 Doesn't it get +2 in sunshine? I've always thought that :S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
