Someone I know is making a water team, and I am going to battle against her. We are both making teams and are having them at lv 40.

I am making a grass team which should be good. Could someone tell me what pokemon would be good on my grass team? So far I have:

Grotile: Razor Leaf, Rock Smash, Cut, ???
Groyvle: Leaf Blade, Focus Punch, X Scissor, Grass Knot

These two are not at level 40 yet and don't know their stats at moment. Anything with ??? is I don't know what it is

Could somone tell me other good pokemon to use? I have a lv28 Exeggucute and might use that. ANy advice would be welcome. I have a bit of time to level all these up to lv40
 
If you want a pokemon with massive HP thats grass type(grass types usually have decent or great HP) you could try Venasaur, even kicking Torterra wouldn't be a bad idea but you can keep him but be sure to DeTeach it Rock Smash and cut because these are probably the worst moves in the game.Try Leaf Storm,Earth Quaqe and Giga Drain.I would reccomend you to use Meganium,Venasaur and Sceptile because starters are probably the best pokemons to make a team in the game.Executer is not a bad idea,just tech it Psyhic and Calm mind.

You could use Abomasnow for a good balance and he is an Ice type, so you wont have problems with some other types, and its a good pokemon generally.

Tangrowth-Another idea but I won't reccomend it because it has a lot of HP and starters are better for HP pokemons

Shiftry-Probably great idea because it will work great with Sceptile and Abomasnow.

Victrebel or Breelom are good pokemons and they will fit in any grass team.Just make sure you got enough attack EVs on them.

I hope that helped.
 
I had an emerald grass team which had sceptile, ludicolo, shiftry, vileplume, tropius and breloom (wasnt 100% successful though). I wouldnt use torterra if going up against water types because they are nearly all faster and a decent ice beam will destroy it. Another advantage emerald has is the thunder punch tutor which can give sceptile advantage over any possible water/flyers so you may want some rock moves to compensate. Another thing to watch for is water/poison types especially the underrated (in my opinion) tentacruel who STAB poison attacks can hurt quite abit. So make sure you have some quick psychic/ground attacks ready. All thats pretty obvious so I doubt it helps at all. Good luck, grass types are actually at a disadvantage to water after a couple of decent tms.
 
Thanks, but I did notice that Torterra's Earthquake is very good. Sceptile and Leaf Blade are pretty good too.

I thought about Lombre, but no, its not that good and found they are not hard to beat.

Yeah, Abomnasnow would be good, its woodhammer is pretty good, but the recoil is not. Also my levle 40 abomnasnow knows blizzard which might be good.

Would Exeggutor having wood hammer be good? Other attacks I have are: Confusion, Poison Powder, Sleep Powder and Psycic
 
Hmm it all depends on how much your wantin to do to win. If your concentrating on a team for the sole purpose to wipe out all water types i'd do it differently than if i was just putting together a grass team for any occasion. For a start 3 of the pokemon your keen on are slow tanks. Exeggcutor, Torterra and Abomasnow now just going off base stats their speeds are 55, 56 and 60 and all of these pokemon have 4 times weakness to another type (bug, ice and fire although I wouldnt worry about bug too much unless you face off with an X-scissoring Kingler which I probably would have because I love them little guys). Now if your friend has a Gyrados base speed 81(just for example, im sure I could think of a better pokemon if i had time) it learns ice fang by level up thats torterra possibly done for in a hit or atleast in trouble and if its also been taught fire blast that'd be two pokemon in severe trouble (though i'm thinking KO) in the first hit. Grass tanks except for the likes of venusaur are too prone to easy damage. Thats why I'd go for Sceptile over Torterra he maybe weaker but if hes lucky he can atleast take some damage off his opponents before he falls.

SnowWarning hightens blizzards accuracy to 100%.

Blizzard isn't a good move on Abomisnow with its low Sp.Att.

How about Celibi 100 base stats all around, great staller and killer if you use a calm mind set.
 
Rain dish, leech seed Ludicolo is actually a fantastic stalling choice, given the right Ev spread and moveset, and its resistant to the dreaded ice beam that most of your team will be weak too.

Not to mention, he won't crumple to a decent Fire-type like the rest of the team. Give him something like Surf or Waterfall perhaps, coupled with the fact that you'll most likely use Rain Dance with him... that should serve nicely to get rid of your major weakness there. I generally don't like single-type teams, but they do give you the advantage of knowing all the time what your weaknesses are; pack along the extra moves to handle your weak types, and you're set.

On that note, what about Breloom? That Grass/Fighting type... there's a good one against any Ice-types you run into.

Pretty sad how people consider a base 90 stat low nowadays. Also sad how you are claiming its not a good move on it when it is the strongest move in its arsenal and gets 100% accuracy.

Ludicolo @Leftovers
Calm Nature
Trait: Swift Swim
-Rain Dance/Substitute
-Leech Seed
-Grass Knot
-Surf/Focus Punch

Trust me, the Swift Swim will work out better for you in the end when you want to outspeed that Pokemon. Should switch Surf out with something to hurt the water types, but then Raind Dance's purpose is practically destroyed.

Considering how your opponent is running a water team, just hope that thy decide to go with Rain Dance team aswell.

As for Breloom being useful against those with Ice moves because its fighting......

Ice Pokemon aren't the only ones who use Ice beam >_>

Also, we do have an RMT thread you know. And I swear, you had posted in there before aswell.

Bring in a Victreebel. Train and nature for Special Attack, give it Leaf Storm, and you got yourself an anchor.
 
I've been stuck thinking what teams I would make for this fight. I don't think this is the best way to do it but I'm not much one for substitute or clever tactics. Here is a rough version of what I'd do for both sides.

Water

Kingler - faster than crawdaunt and with a more powerful x-scissor.

Gyrados - Ice fang as standard, fire moves for back up

Tentacruel - fast and with sludge bomb STAB

Empoleon - I was going to say with drill peck but it cant learn that at level 40 could chuck ariel ace at it but would be a waste so probs give it the ice beam. Poison immunity a bonus

Mantine - probs give it ariel ace.

I'd like Floatzel with ice fang a 6th but dont know if it can be caught knowing it before level 40. If not I don't know Golduck/starmie? Give it psychic to combat poison types. Or maybe a water/ice like lapras or one of the seals whatever really.

I'd love to chuck in others like Feraligator but I'm trying to keep it catchable

Grass a harder to obtain team

Sceptile (you said you have one) - Fast enough but without thunder punch vunerable, would have to be attack based with rock slide and earthquake for some quick sweeping of poison (and steel) and flying (abit hit and hope though).

Breloom - empoleon killer (or to take kingler). endure and counter or try your luck with a focus blast

Ludicolo - Ice and fire resistant (well as good as can be) give it grass knot and giga drain and pit it against gyrados

Abomasnow - KEEP AWAY FROM FIRE! use the wood hammer against an opponent with only additional ice attacks

Victreebel - make sure it likes you and use return against tentacruel or a grass move on kingler

Venusaur would make a good addition if it was possible to get one.

I'm sure people will have faults to pick with this but its just what i'd do.
