Why HP Psychic on Milotic?

Why Hail on Glaceon? None of your other Pokémon benefit from it.

Lots of specially based things here.. only one physical-based thing here.

Lack of physical wall. Blissey's bulky on both side, sure, but a lot of physical things have potential to take it down.

Roost and Choice Specs/Scarf... and as a lead?

...just some things I noticed right off the bat here.

Sorry, like I said I pulled this out of thin air in like two seconds, I had to go eat so I didn't check anything under a microscope.

Questions:

1) I really (for some odd-reason twisted) wanted a Milotic that knew Psychic, and apparently this is as close as I get, but a better suggestion?

2) Hail, Blizzard and Snow Cloak.

3) This is a more special oreinted team, sue me! jk!

4) I don't plan on keep Blissey out that long... it's mainly a switch-in-switch out status healer type thing, but a better moveset?

5) Honestly, just because I put it at the head of this thing, doesn't mean I am going to lead with it!

Anything else?

 

[Tina]

2) Hail, Blizzard and Snow Cloak.

But none of your other Pokémon benefit from it. =/

Also, Blissey's meant to stay out instead of switching in and out repeatively..

 

[AiedailEclipsed]

Questions:

1) More than likely the storm will have subsided by the time anything else comes in!

2) Well, I'm breaking the laws, and setting my own!

Besides, I thought you were supposed to make your own strategies!

 

[Tina]

...

This isn't a matter of strategies, it's a matter of common sense. I highly doubt that a single Pokemon's going to be staying in for five turns. -_-

Seriously, Tina's right. If you're running a Choice item Pokémon, you don't want non-attacking moves on it.

There are also better ways of using some of those other Pokémon. For instance, Mothim with Substitute and one of the pinch berries is pretty good in the lower tiers - by switching into Stealth Rock and using Sub, you can get Mothim down to 25% HP in a single turn and activate not only your berry but also the Swarm ability.

Glaceon's not really suited to a team that isn't based around Hail.

Good job on Rhyperior though.

This is also a RMT. If you post your team, it's going to get critisized because people want to help point out its flaws, give suggestions for improvement, and just overall aid you in making a better team. Instead of pushing down the posts made about it, maybe try taking some of the advice to heart? And your comments are supposed to explain the set. You might be able to avoid so many questions if you just used the comments to do so. D: (*prods this*)


Altaria I could actually see getting away with Roost on a Specs set. Rest would be better, as you're going to switch anyways or be stuck on a healing move. Natural Cure heals sleep on the switch.

HP Psychic doesn't have the best of coverage, so I agree with Tina there. Just a warning for the future.

Your Glaceon set looks okay as it is, as Shadow Ball is an okay alternatuve if you need a good filler. However, yes. The rest of your team are neither ice types, nor are they running Blizzard. Glaceon will be the only one to benefit from Hail. The rest will be hurt by it and won't be able to use any boosts it gives.

I... don't really see the point of Roost on a Scarfed Mothim. It can't withstand too many hits on its own, so you might just want to replace Roost with another offensive move and pound away at your opponent as quickly as possible with the Scarf boost.

Rhyperior, Substitute + Life Orb may leave you in trouble HP-wise. Bliss looks okay.


This team has 3 weak to ice and only one that resists it, which is Glaceon that is running a Hail set that doesn't help the rest of your team at all. Only one Pokemon won't be hit with electricity (Rhyperior); it hits AT LEAST neutral on everything else. Thunderbolt/Ice Beam coverage is quite popular and you're going to find yourself backed against the wall a lot unless you juggle some Pokemon around (if you're seriously considering using this). Mothim looks to be your speediest Pokemon nature-wise. You're going to be out-sped a lot and you seem to be focused more on attacking that weathering hits.

Ok, so get rid of Glaceon maybe, for something with a little for Fire or Electric coverage maybe (any suggestions)? And yeah, I see where your coming from on the Mothim front, so use Substitute insted of Roost, and use a Leichi Berry?

So get rid off Roost in favor of Rest, and like I said as to the issue of HP Psychic, any suggestions? Also, I kinda like Rhyperior the way it is, I don't know, it just .... ???? seems right to me! As does Blissey so...

~~~~~~

In summary:
A) Ditch Roost on Mothim, and give it a Liechi Berry insted of Scarf? The comments conflict...
B) Ditch Glaceon for something with more coverage.

~~~~~~

Guys, please don't think I'm trying to put your comments down, I'm actually trying to work with you on that.

Well, I dunno what you're really going for team-wise. You said this was just random.

And yes, rest is superior on Specs Altaria. However, maybe a Jolly Flygon instead of Altaria if you want a Dragon. It's fast (you need speed) and it gives you another physical Pokemon.

Glaceon replacement.... Metagross resists ice and is good for a lot of things depending on what set you run (generally it's laying waste to something), but you already have Rhyperior for sheer muscle, and its running a Polish set. So... I think I'll just let someone else cover that advice, lol. >_>

Mothim is running a special set. No Leichi. Go with Petaya if you want a berry. Sub could help it if you can set it up and not have it destroyed the same turn. Like I said, Mothim isn't very durable, poor thing. Deprived of Scarf, you could also Focus Sash it.

 

[AiedailEclipsed]

I was thinking a Focus Sash maybe! And I again really want an Altaria! I'm really sorry guys, I know I'm being stubborn about them but it just feels right! -shoulder shrug-
