[Nintendo DS] Rate my competition team

[Cyber]

I've been breeding pokemon that I think would be good for online battling.


Blaziken Holding Blazikenite
Nature: Hasty
Blaze Kick
Brave Bird
Rock Tomb
Sky Uppercut

Raichu not holding anything
Nature: Modest
Thunderbolt
Iron Tail
Dig
Secret Power (different status effects, mainly paralysis)

Pidgeot Holding Pidgeotite
Nature: Quite
Aerial Ace
Steel Wing
Twister
Quick Attack

Rhydon Holding Expert Belt
Nature: Careful
Earthquake
Stone Edge
Iron Tail
Hammer Arm

Gallade Holding Galladite
Nature: Quiet
Psycho Cut
Leaf Blade
X-Scizzor
Power-Up Punch

What should my final team member be? No fairy types, I ABSOLutely can not stand using them. Pun was very intended

 

[The Necromancer]

It needs some work, honestly.

Any suggestions though?

 

[The Legendary Noob]

That team isn't even competitive.

You're like my little brother....
First of all, you don't use more than one Mega Pokemon.

 

[Angelic.]

the natures all all wrong and needs better moves.

 

[Hexuze]

Well you're gonna need a fairy type though because a mega-salamence can sweep your whole team up. Azumarill or togekiss should be fine.

My team currently is

Slurpuff
Lopunny (mega)
Dragonite
Scizor
Serperior
Gliscor

That's your opinion, I always keep more than one just in case one of my megas won't be very effective on someone.

Any suggestions though?

1. Stick to one mega. It's good to have more than one mon that can potentially go mega, so your opponent doesn't know which one it is and can't plan for it, but once you have one that megas, the others have no item, which is a death sentence. You have to remember that you can't hope to perfectly counter everything, so stick with one mega and build around that.

2. If you're battling Smogon rules, Blazikenite is still banned I believe. If it's not, run flare blitz instead of blaze kick, or make him a baton passer with swords dance and protect with speed boost.

3. Raichu
-Why no item? :|
-Secret power is pretty much useless, run thunder wave if you want paralysis.
-Dig or any other 2 turn move is a death sentence, as they'll switch into something that's immune to it, or into something that completely ****s you up on the free switch.
-Don't mix special attacks and physical attacks. Stick to one, if Raichu is going to be modest, keep thunderbolt and add grass knot or something. Either way, check the Smogon pokemon build suggestions. There are hundreds of them.

4. I've never ran a mega pidgeot, but as far as I know, twister is your main move, so that's fine. Check up on his set though to be sure.

5. Rhydon looks solid, but give him an eviolite if anything.

6. Mega galade is one of the best megas out there now, so I would recommend centering your team around him. Maybe switch out blaziken (if he's illegal) for a ninjask who can pass the same swords dance and speed boost to galade, or maybe get someone who can set up entry hazards (stealth rocks, spikes, toxic spikes Sticky Web (OP).

Thank you for actually giving a suggestion instead of pointlessly criticizing like the rest of these people are.

I know hardly anything about competitive, but I'll just give this advice: Troll with Shedinja. Use a Focus Sash and make sure it knows Protect. lol

That only gives you 4 turns max, 2 of which you can't attack... :|

This guy is basically one of those Random dudes at your school who just plays Pokemon because they just think it's cool and haven't heard of VGC or Smogon yet, you have to give him the basics of Nature and movesets before going that deep.

That's your opinion, I always keep more than one just in case one of my megas won't be very effective on someone.

...

Is this your first Pokemon game?

...

First of all, Mega Pidgeot, Raichu, and Rhydon suck.
Second, you only have 5 Pokemon on your team.
Third, they aren't even the right nature.

Is this your first Pokemon game?

You start out with a 2-3 Pokemon core when making a team and add Teammates to help that core out.
Example of a core; Kyurem-Black + Jirachi + Mega Sceptile

Wrong. Natures and EV's are secondary to the things I mentioned.

 

[Yusuke Urameshi]

So use it to stall or pray that they don't have anything that's super-effective. I have no clue. I've seen Shedinja work out before. Pretty great. lol

Stall for what...? Besides the fact that any entry hazards or status effects take it down instantly, despite the sash.

Definitely not my first pokemon game, i've had all the pokemon gens, I just thought competitive battling was stupid and never bothered playing online.

He needs to know how to Breed first.
You can't just jam all that info in his head and expect him to get better all of a sudden.

Then what's the point of playing Pokemon after you beat Storymode?
Pokemon is mainly about connecting with your friends weather it's Trading or Battling.

Talonflame shits on his whole squad. And yes, Raichu gets OHKO'd by Flare Blitz.
BTW, Pidgeot can use Heat Wave and HP Ground too.

I have no clue, man. Maybe the other Pokemon is burned or poisoned, so you're stalling. Make sure you have a Pokemon with Rapid Spin or Defog, or just don't let them set up entry hazards. And pray that their Pokemon don't have Will-o-Wisp or something. I'm just throwing out random ideas. They probably wouldn't make sense in battle. Like I said, I know basically nothing. lol
