my IPGL team (well... eventually.)

[Hector]

Alright. So I figured that I would start making a real team this summer because I have a lot of time to kill when I'm not at work.

Alright, so I've decided on five pokes and I need suggestions for a sixth

Infernape
Lucario
Garchomp
Scizor
Empoleon


and the sets:


Infernape
Nature: Naive
Item: Life Orb
EV's: 252 Atk / 64 SpA / 192 Spe

Close Combat
U-Turn
Stone Edge
Overheat

Physical Mixape. I figure that people will expect the LeadApe or AntiLeadApe, and I can do some damage in surprise.



Scizor
Nature: Adamant
Item: Life Orb (I have three, but is this allowed?)
EV's: 32 HP / 252 Atk / 224 Spe

Swords Dance
Bullet Punch
Brick Break
X-Scissor

Standard Scizor... I don't have much to say.


Lucario
Nature: Modest
Item: Choice Specs
EV's: 252 SpAtk / 252 Speed / 4 HP

Aura Sphere
Shadow Ball
Dragon Pulse
Hidden Power Rock / Ice / Vaccum Wave (help here please...)


Choice Specs Lucario... I need a special sweeper... so that's that.


Garchomp
Item: Life Orb / Yache Berry if Life Orb isn't allowed again
Nature: Jolly
EV's: 252 Atk / 252 Speed / 4 HP

Swords Dance
Outrage / Dragon Claw
Earthquake
Stone Edge / Crunch


Again, pretty standard. I'm not the most creative guy.


Empoleon
Item: Leftovers
Nature: Modest
EV's: 24 HP / 252 SpAtk / 232 Speed

Agility
Ice Beam
Grass Knot
Surf


He's got some staying power, but he can kill as well. Switch in on any of his many resists, agility on the switch, then go to work.


Okay, so I know what everyone is going to say... I have no walls. That's because I hate walls. I go fast and I hit you hard before you get a chance to counter. That's how I like to play, even if it isn't the best or most accepted method.

So i'm looking for a sixth Pokemon. Help would be nice. And I am open to having a wall there as long as it's not too slow or weak.

superpower/brick break on scizor

you can have as many life orbs as you like

looks okaaay so far, few common weaknesses though, boltbeamers and earthquake

6th pokemon, a choice scarf revenge killer
what about a scarfed mixed mence? that could be one hell of a pokemon :|

 

[freddie515]

Looks good. I would make a topic with my team but then everybody would know everything about it :/

EDIT: Jimi are ya sure a garchomp and salamence would be a good idea ??

 

[Jimiinthesky]

hmmm maybe your right :/

this might be a rubbish idea, but what about a scarfed slaking? if you only use it for one revenge kill it's ability doesnt matter. and it does have uber-worthy attack, and a base 100 speed, however, i'm not completely sure that you can switch while it's fooling around, can anyone back me up on that?

 

[freddie515]

Yeh you can switch when its fooling around, once you didnt use giga impact

 

[DCM]

Use Vacuum Wave on Lucario. Fighting/Ghosts hit everything.

 

[freddie515]

Aura Sphere AND Vacuum Wave ?
I'd go for HP ice if you can get it.

 

[DCM]

Sorry, I read that as Shadow Ball <.<

Do not use both Aura Sphere and Vacuum Wave. Drop Aura Sphere HP Ice, use Vacuum Wave.

 

[Mijzelffan]

I think earthquaking pokémon might want to say hi to this team. Maybe you can use a levitator/flying type or something?

 

[Jimiinthesky]

i think garchomp's okay to take the quakes for now but it is a weakness that should be looked at :/ maybe a gliscour and a levitating pokemon (bronzong?) as your last 2

 

[Hector]

Well as a flyer, I really like Staraptor so I'll fit him in.


Staraptor holding ? (I don't know...)
Intimidate
Jolly?
252 Atk / 252 Spd / 6HP

Close Combat
Return
Brave Bird
U-Turn
