Conversation [PGZA]

Whelp guys... been waiting around for 3 and a half hours for the game to start and now my roommate is home and I gotta accompany her to the hospital so I'm out. *withdraws Charies*


I'd say sorry but I'm more irked and disappointed than I am feeling bad.

Darn
 
Ayy, guys. Sorry, I'll be bowing out of this one, too. Can't really feel the TorD modd flowing through my fingers today :/
 
Hey guys, do you want to give me some feedback on this team? I'm going to an anime convention where there is going to be Pokemon tournaments, and I was to be uber ready. Any feedback is appreciated.

You got any movesets for them? That would probably help, as well.


In terms of type, though, it's pretty well-rounded, though I do see a weakness to ground in three of the 'mons. With the prevalence of Earthquake, a ground weakness is a large burden.

Not only that, but there's also a bit of an ice problem. However, Blaziken and Metagross should handle it nicely. Also, this is just my opinion, but you may want a fast special sweeper @PlaguedWithInsanity. Other than that, I'd need to know the movesets for further advice.

Megas had not been decided yet. I'm just at planning Pokemon based on weaknesses as well as type coverages so far.


Ground is not too common, but I may change up Rhyperior/Metagross.

Mmhmm. But yeah, I'm trying my best on how to decide between types as well as stats, and to find a nice medium between the two.

While ground types themselves aren't super duper common (they aren't rare though) earthquake is everywhere. It will be something you need to prepare for (Tangrowth should do a fine job). Id personally swap out Rhyperior, but that's your choice.

Hm. Maybe if you want to go by type, combine Rhyperior and Metagross into Aggron, and open up the slot for the sweeper previously suggested (by Spooky). Aggron gets amazing power in Head Smash + Rock Head, access to metal burst and heavy slam, and the ability to use earthquake. It's SpDef is trash, but its defense is high, meaning it's really only weak to the (uncommon) Focus Blast, or (rarely) Aura Sphere.

If she wanted (and if she goes aggron, I highly recommend this), she could go mega aggron. That way, it gains access to filter, and she has a physical tank that can nom on earthquakes while heavy slamming everything. Also, it's special defense won't be shit anymore. On top of that, it's x4 weakness to fighting and ground lower to just x2, along with its water weakness vanishing completely.

While that's true, it also loses its capability for damage in Head Smash. Also, with more capable Megas like Blaziken or Salamence, regular Aggron is still good, and can fill in niches like stealth rocking or even slow revenge killing. Mega Aggron would require a team built around it instead.

Both mega blaziken and Salamence are uber, so I don't think they are allowed in normal competitive play. Also, stealth rock is still runnable on mega aggron.

Alright. Sounds good. But now what do I do with the blank space? Not many good Pokemon can cover Dragon than Fairy and Dragon itself. And there aren't many good Fairy types. :/

Trust me, as far as dragon types go, you're probably fine, seeing as aggron can soak up the hits and Salamence, while being risky, can sweep them. If you're really worried about dragon that much, Gardevoir is a decent option, along with maybe whismiccot (it isn't a special sweeper, but can function as a good prankster taunt lead if needed).


Honestly though, you don't really need a fairy type. You should be fine against dragons as is.

Hmm... I want Pokemon with base stat totals above 510. And Gardevoir is far too overused for this particular situation; plus I had it in my other team of OR, that in which being the one I am resetting.
 
Thundurus Therian isn't a bad option to consider. Yeah, it's another ice weakness, but it hits hard and had good speed (also all your other Pokemon are ok against ice). It also counters your flying weakness that your building up since it is part electric type.
