Mint_Spaghetti Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 Wow. Great coverage. However I can tell you will be temporarily replacing some pokemon with a HM slave. Make sure at least one of your pokemon can take a hit since this seems like an all out attacking team. I might suggest getting rid of the agility or scald on empoleon for a water HM. Durant I'd run swarm personally since I like high accuracy moves. No ground immunity though... Which means you might get a flying type later on since (in my opinion) it would be too much of a bother to carry a Fly slave around. Also post items used. Overall solid team with lots of potential Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Etesian Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 (edited) Finally, after I've suggested it in a bazillion threads, someone finally accepts the embrace of our true lord Durant. EDIT:And in response to Mint, Empoleon's Special attack is far stronger than it's Attack. Considering that Dive, the only water HM currently available, is physical, keeping Scald (and it's 30% burn chance) is the smarter choice, imo. Even when we get Surf, the high burn chance makes it more useful than the +10 power of Surf. One of Durant's main selling points is it's insane power, which is boosted by 50% by Hustle. It is unknown when we'll get Fly, if ever. It's also better to just spend some time going back&forth for HM Slaves instead of crippling your team members by teaching them something like Cut, effectivelly allowing to only have 3 (usable) moves. And the Ground weakness can be handled by Gogoat's and Empoleon's STABs, I guess. Edited August 7, 2014 by Etesian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't agree more with what you say except I would never consider dive on the empoleon. Giving it a quick claw could make up for the loss of agility.

Etesian Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 (edited) I might suggest getting rid of the agility or scald on empoleon for a water HM I would never consider dive on the empoleon. Wat. The only existing water HMs are Surf, Dive and Waterfall, with Scald being better than Surf, and Waterfall and Dive, which we covered, are essentially the same. Really don't know what you're trying to say. Giving it a quick claw could make up for the loss of agility. It only has a 20% chance of activating, unlike Agility's constant boost. Not advisable to rely on it, imo. Edited August 8, 2014 by Etesian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolfox Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 I see you have a good coverage, though an Excadrill could KO nearly everything on your team, I sugest a Flying-Bug-Grass type to cover up that weakness Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darkforce35 Posted August 8, 2014 Author Share Posted August 8, 2014 In the matter of excadrill, i'd likely either have my empoleon set up with agility (in case of sand rush ability), or without sandstorm and given low defensive stats, arcanine with flare blitz (combined with charcoal and intimidate to lower excadrill's attack) should be enough for him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
