    Don't you agree, Zach?

    I don't use much strategy in Pokemon games. The most I do is teach moves that counter a Pokemon's weakness. EX: teach Machamp Stone Edge to counter flying types

    Foremost is the chromatic substance accomplishment to Picklegod! Pickle contributes to all parts of the forum, stays astir, and mostly is awful to everyone he meets. A wonderful, intelligent somebody, Pickle testament now better us with every day NF decisions. Approval Picklgod!

    I'm pretty sure Smogon University is a good website for that kind of stuff.
    Only one of my Pokemon isn't on NU so I'll just assume my team sucks. But I love them.

    Hi!
    If anyone's got time, would they please rate my team?

    Meganium
    Gender: Male Nature: Bashful
    Attacks:Magical Leaf
    Earthquake
    Frenzy Plant
    Synthesis
    Item: Miracle Seed

    Wigglytuff
    Gender: Female Nature: Modest
    Attacks:Return
    Hyper Beam
    Sing
    Rest
    Item: Leftovers

    Raichu
    Gender: Male Nature: Lonely
    Attacks:Thunderbolt
    Shock Wave
    ?
    Thunder Wave
    Item: Magnet


    Misdreavus
    Gender: Female Nature: Bold
    Attacks:Shadow Ball
    Psychic
    Confuse Ray
    Mean Look
    Item: Spell Tag

    Suicune
    Gender: None Nature: Serious
    Attacks:Surf
    Ice Beam
    Blizzard
    Rain Dance
    Item: Nevermeltice

    Lugia
    Gender: None Nature: Modest
    Attacks:Extrasensory
    Surf
    Aeroblast
    Fly
    Item:Sharp Beak


    Thank you for your comments Smoothz, they're certainly helpful!
    Once they reach the right level, I'll definitely Suicune the Extrasensory and Lugia the Recover.
    As for Raichu, I'll give him Grass Knot when I find it on Rt11 and I've already exchanged Wigglytuff's Body Slam for Hyper Beam.
    I don't really want to leave Meganium with just one grass move, since it'll be harder in the story mode if I don't have both a medium and a strong move.
    Only things I can't do are take away Lugia's flying attacks (Aeroblast is awesome and I need him to know Fly) or evolve Misdreavus... She's soooo sweeeet... :wub:

    Promise I'll rate it tomorrow, sorry I just had a question; What berry was it that eliminates or removes EV's again?

    EDIT: Here's the team rating I promised;

    Meganium
    Bashful is a neutral nature, so I suppose that's ok? Moves are pretty good, but again, recommended you only have 1 grass attack. I'd take away either Magical Leaf or Frenzy Plant, you can keep Synthesis. Replace it with Light Screen, Reflect or Body Slam, maybe even Rock Climb if you need a Pokemon with the HM.

    Wigglytuff
    Ok...Modest nature decreases attack and increases special attack, all of your attacks are physical, so...the nature if kind of the opposite of what you need. Either switch its moves to special attacks, or breed an Adamant Wiggilytuff.

    Raichu
    Honestly, Raichu's moves are mainly Electric, but still try to only keep 1 Electric move on it. Lonley boosts defense, but lowers attack, so keep them speical. So make it more like...
    Thunderbolt
    Thunder Wave
    Signal Beam
    Grass Knot/Swagger?
    Don't forget, confusing and paralysis are awesome combos, especially when they hit themselves for more.

    Midsdreavus
    Evolve this once you get all of its moves...it will help. Moves are good for the most part, but I don't know about Mean Look. If you want it so the roaming legendaries won't escape then keep it, if not, I'd swap it with something. Power Gem? Magical Leaf?

    Suicune
    Ok, as a general rule, I wouldn't use Blizzard, Thunder or Fire Blast unless there is a move you have that makes the hit rate 100%. For example, Rain Dance makes Thunder 100% hit rate (so be careful when using it on Suicune since it's weak the Electric) and Hail makes Blizzard 100% hit rate. This might work better...
    Rain Dance
    Surf
    Ice Beam
    Extrasensory/Calm Mind/Signal Beam

    Lugia
    Ok, for Lugia, I wouldn't bother with Surf, because its just...unnecessary. And again, try to keep only one type of each move on a Pokemon. I know, it must be hard to pick between Sky Attack and Aeroblast but here's what I recommend.
    Psychic
    Aeroblast
    Earthquake
    Shadow Ball/Ancient Power/ Recover
    Generally, those moves are just to cover weaknesses and the first two are for Same Attack Type Bonuses (aka, STAB). I only put recover there because Lugia has high Defence and Special Defense, so right when your opponent thinks they can win, you Recover xD.

    Hope that helps, if you have any questions, let me know. Honestly, unless you're using this team for competitivel battling, you're not going to lose a fight. The two legendaries secure you already, so even if your movesets are questionable, their sheer power is enough.

    Smoothz, you've probably found it already, but the EV reducing Berries are as follows -

    Pomeg - HP
    Kelpsy - Attack
    Qualot - Defense
    Hondew - Special Attack
    Grepa - Special Defense
    Tamato - Speed

    Now, each one lowers its respective EV count by 10, starting at 100. This means that if, say, the Attack EV count is any amount higher than 100, the first Kelpsy Berry you use will lower it to exactly 100, then the next one will begin reducing EV's by 10.

    No I didn't so thank you but I don't quite understand...so you're saying...

    The first berry will take a stat at 255EV's down to 100? Then I'll need 10 more to take it to 0?

    Exactly. No matter how high the current EV count is, the first Berry will always lower it to 100 (assuming it's above 100 to begin with). Then yes, 10 more for each increment of 10 from 100 to 0.

    If the EV count is already below 100 (say 67), then the next berry will simply lower it by 10 (to 57), and so on.

    Sorry, my wording is very fuzzy D:

    Ok...no offence, but I wouldn't use that team. Its not the composition that is so bad, the move sets are just...odd. Ok so this is what I came up with;

    Typhlosion

    Ampharos

    Gengar/Alakazam

    Gyrarados/Scizor

    Exeggutor/Skarmory

    Machamp

    Yeah I made that randomly, I'll make movesets later....xD

    I know that the move sets are bad, it was in the original silver and i did'nt really play it that much and never used it for competitive battling (being that I really could'nt), I know that the move sets are horrible, but it was only to be used against npc's and their move sets were worse than mine =D.

    Hi guys
    I was wondering if you had any advice for my Pearl team Smoothz, since you were great last time... :)

    Empoleon
    Gender: Male Nature: Hasty
    Attacks:Surf
    Drill Peck
    Hydro Cannon
    Rain Dance


    Infernape
    Gender: Male Nature: Mild
    Attacks:Flamethrower
    Close Combat
    Blast Burn
    Sunny Day


    Gallade
    Gender: Male Nature: Sassy
    Attacks:Psycho Cut
    Psychic
    Swords Dance
    False Swipe


    Ampharos
    Gender: Male Nature: Modest
    Attacks:Thunderbolt
    Signal Beam
    Thunder
    Thunder Wave


    Torterra
    Gender: Male Nature: Impish
    Attacks:Energy Ball
    Crunch
    Frenzy Plant
    Earthquake


    Dragonite
    Gender: Male Nature: Naive
    Attacks:Dragon Claw
    Draco Meteor
    Surf
    Fly


    I was wondering if I should switch Energy Ball for Woodhammer?
    Also, I know you say a Pokémon should only be a Sp Attacker or Physical Attacker, but Infernape's stats for both are equal...

    Fuck You. And Can I Have This Dance?
    None of your teams have this:
    Scizor @ Choice Band
    Ability: Technician
    EVs: 248 HP/252 Atk/8 Spd
    Adamant nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
    - U-turn
    - Bullet Punch
    - Superpower
    - Pursuit

    or this:

    Scizor @ Life Orb
    Ability: Technician
    EVs: 32 HP/252 Atk/226 Spd
    Adamant nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
    - Bullet Punch
    - Swords Dance
    - X-Scissor
    - Roost

    therefore all teams here fail
