...I don't care too much about Natures...


Please, don't hold back! Be as harsh as you possibly can when you rate my team!

 

[Jimiinthesky]

You've got to post the natures and exact ev's please.
Also there is reeeeally no point of dragon dance and swords dance, just one or the other

 

[Singing in the Rain]

Done.

My reasoning for both dances is so that Axel can either outspeed or harshly outpower an opposing foe. Fun Guy gives him time to judge. So if I encounter an opposing Accelgor, I use Dragon Dance. If I see a Conkeldurr, I use Swords Dance. Besides, I don't see another good move for him, so...

 

[Fleeg]

If at all possible, I'd recommend trying to fit a boosting move (if it can learn any) for Chandelure in sacrifice for Psychic. That's all I can really advise.

 

[Singing in the Rain]

Nah. Elesa doesn't have time to boost. Besides, Psychic can OHKO Emboar, among other things. Thanks for the advice, though. What's funny is that the people at Smogon suggest Flame Charge in place of Flamethrower.

 

[Thundagere]

I'm not sure, but Cobalion probably won't be banned. What happens if you run into one of those? I'd run Dragon Claw, EQ, Brick Break, and Dragon Dance on Haxorus, that'll give you decent coverage, especially if you run into Balloontran. You DD a bunch of times, basically as many as you can, then you wreak havoc.

 

[Singing in the Rain]

Three things about that statement: One, Cobalion isn't banned. Only the "real' legendaries. Two, this is the VGCs. BallonTran is banned, as are all Pokemon from Bulbasaur to Arceus. And three, the tournaments are double, so I can't run EQ. But the Brick Break idea is good, so I may use that. Thanks.

Balloontran is banned? Well, lol, I haven't been keeping up with VGCs. Though I've been thinking, why not DD, then use EQ with Protect on Amoongus?

 

[Singing in the Rain]

You...you have a point there. That works pretty damn well.

 

[Rabidtangerine]

The species aren't bad, fairly well balanced, but the movesets seem pretty redundant. I'll just go through them in order, but first, could you post the abilities too? Also, you don't seem to be taking this too seriously. If you can't be bothered to breed or care about natures then you aren't going to do very well.
The Smogonites were right too. 80 base speed isn't very high. Flame Charge would work very well.
Lastly, what Thundagere said, change Haxy's moves around. Give it a Dragon or Ground Gem or a Life Orb. I most recommend the latter.
I'd write more, but I mean, if you don't care too much about natures, then I don't care too much about helping you.
(Gosh, that came out bitter T.T)

I'd agree, use Life Orb. After 1 EQ, I think the Gem gets consumed, and LO is very useful.

I already have my team and only 12 days left. Besides, my team functions GREAT on RM. 11/0/1 streak, to be exact. I would have more, but people keep shutting off their games just as they lose.

Anyway, I replaced Swords Dance with EQ, but I feel I need the Persim Berry for Outrage(the LO goes to Chandel).

Second, I don't feel that Flame Charge works too well. I can't afford barely doing damage on a turn thanks to Chandel's poor attack just to raise a speed stat that already is exactly as fast as Haxorus.

Thanks for the help, ppl! Keep it comming! ^^

It's not just as fast, they are at quite different speeds.

 

[Singing in the Rain]

It's not just as fast, they are at quite different speeds.

MINE is just as fast.

Anyway, I feel that Smogon just "creates" Pokemon, and then takes more Pokemon, and makes it seem like those are the only Pokemon in existance. I mean, seriously? Stall teams? WTF are those? I'd rather just put together a sucessful team from my own brain. I've seen plenty of Choice Band Bullet Scizors on RM. Pwned them all with the right tactics and judgement.

 

[coolking503]

you say stall like you've never laddered up to 1400 and faced Kevin Garret or Earthworm. You wont be laughing at stall after that.

 

[Rabidtangerine]

MINE is just as fast.

Then your Haxorus sucks and your Chandelure is amazing.

Also, you don't need the Persim berry if you don't have outrage. Seriously, in double battles, Outrage isn't as good since you can't choose who to hit.

And regarding the above post, yeah, there are quite a lot of noobs online, I doubt you've fought that many people who were actually really good.

 

[Singing in the Rain]

Well, they're both really fast(or the metagame is really slow. Either way...)

Anyway, you can't choose who Outrage hits? How was I not aware of that?

Yeah, you have to admit that lots of people are n00bs. Oh well. I'll change his moveset around later.

 

[Angad]

Chandelure has a base 80 speed, and Haxorus has a 99 base speed.

 

[Singing in the Rain]

Chandelure has a base 80 speed, and Haxorus has a 99 base speed.

...Your point?

I think Chandle might have a Speed heightening Nature.

 

[Angad]

Even then, they shouldn't be at the same speed, unless Haxorus has bad speed IVs, and a Speed Hindering Nature.
