I think my team needs help

[Shadow1345]

HI! Im Shadow1345. I used to be at the Sonic section in GC. But Im onto poemon now =)

Anyway,

I was at my friends house 2 days ago. I FINALLY got an Lucario! I also wasted my masterball on the Mesprite that I accidently ran into XD.

Anyway, I think my team needs help. Cause I have 2 steels, and 2 fighters... So I was thinking you could give me advice.

Changes in bold. I don't know what to do with Blaziken. Sorry. Other than that, I hope I helped.

Make your last attack on Staraptor Return instead of Double Team.

[Shadow1345]

Ok Thank you =) I will write these notes down.

Thank you

Sorry for the double post. ;_;

Anyway, can I inprove my team by replacing some of them? Cause I hate having 2 steels and fighters...

You do have some things in mind, I wonna say something:

I like pokemon with high speed and Attack. Like my Milotic. I would've put her in, but I already have a powerful water type.

[Arctic Houndoom]

Milotic > Empoleon.

If you want to switch one of your Steels, I'd recommend Milotic since you like her. ^^

Maybe you want to add a Weaville into your team somewhere? They're pretty strong and can replace Blaziken (since you really don't need a Fire and your Blaziken is partially useless). But if you want a Fire, I'd suggest ditching Blaziken and going for another one, perhaps Magmortar or Houndoom, depending on the stats of the aspects you want. (Magmortar can either be Special or Adamant, and Houndoom is best used as Special (as a Modest nature)).

[Seerow]

If for whatever reason you wish to keep your Blaziken, the moveset for it that I would recommend off the top of my head looking at its move list is Flare Blitz/Blaze Kick, Sky Uppercut, Aerial Ace/Brave Bird, Rock Slide/Stone Edge. If you use Flare Blitz, don't use Brave Bird, and vice versa, but there's nothing stopping you from using Aerial Ace and Blaze Kick. If you're willing to breed to get another one, I would consider Night Slash instead of the Flying move.

[Shadow1345]

Ok, thank you everyone =) Heres the changes I got so far

I got 2 new baby pokemon. I have a baby Riolu, and Eevee. Heres their stats.

Riolu lv. 20
male
Timid Nature ( WOOTZ ^^ )

Quick Attack
Feint
Force Palm
Reversal


^ I normally get him to lv 20, then I start battling with him =) I also give him a soothe bell and take him to the massache ( or however you spell it XD )

Eevee lv.1
male
Modest Nature

Tackle
Tail Whip
Helping Hand

^ I havent started on him yet. But it took me 30 min of hatching eggs to get this guy. Im just happy I got a modest ^.^


And I MIGHT get rid of Blaziken. Maybe Ill get a leafeon =)


So Im gonna have a Espeon,Lucario,Empoleon,staraptor,and Garchomp. All I need now is i replacment for Blaziken =D

And I didnt replace my Empoleon because water/steel= OWNAGE. Well, in my opinion XD

So all I need is a replacement for Blaziken =)

[SuperSimon]

except for the fact that now eq hits hard

[Pencil Thief]

I think you could greatly benifit from a Weavile.

Weavile@ Expert Belt
-Jolly-
Ice Punch/Ice Shard
Brick Break
Night Slash
AA

AA isn't used that often, but I like it to take out Heracross.

[Shadow1345]

Ok guys, heres my choices.

Weavile
Leafeon
Umbreon
Milotic
Armaldo ( I have a very strong one from Emerald =P )

And if you guys suggest Weavile, I need to ask something..

Dont you have to give a metal claw to a Sneasel, and train it at Nghttime? Is so, I have a problem...

Where can I egt a metal claw?

[SuperSimon]

its razor claw and replace empoleon with milotic and someone else for weavile

[Pencil Thief]

OK, with the pokemon you have, I would suggest this.

Weavile@expert Belt
-Jolly-
Ice Punch/shard
Brick Break
Night Slash
AA

Leafeon@Leftovers(?)
-Adamant/Maybe Jolly-
Leaf Blade
Sunny Day
Sythesis
X-Scissor

Umbreon@Leftovers
-Careful/Impish-
Toxic
Mean Look
Moonlight
Baton Pass

Milotic@Leftovers
-Modest-
Surf
Ice Beam
Recover
Toxic

Milotic just refuses to die.

I honestly have no idea how to use an Armaldo. Hope I helped.

[Shadow1345]

So I should get rid of Empoleon for Milotic? O.o Erm ok, Ill give it a shot =)

So my pokemon in my team will be

Milotic
Lucario
Espeon
Garchomp
Staraptor

And my choices for the filler are

Weavile
Leafeon
Umbreon
and Armaldo

Hard choice.

And one question... where is the razor claw? =D ( srry for my noobish questions. )

[Pencil Thief]

The Razor Claw can be found in Victory Road and can be recieved in exchange for BP at the Battle Tower reward place.

And for the last pokemon, I wouldn't be able to decide either. Although Weavile would give you a good lead off.

[Arctic Houndoom]

Weaville/Leafeon would both give you good coverage, but there just is something completely not nature to have two Eevee evolutions on your team.. Espeon has high high Special Attack, and Leafeon has high high Attack. So since you have Espeon on your team (and the Modest nature your hatched works perfectly for him) I'd suggest a Physical Sweeper, such as Weaville.

The movesets the others posted will cover you Weaville - moveset - wise.

[Shadow1345]

Thank you SOOO much guys =) I guess Im getting a Weavile! ^.^

Ill post more questions if I come up to any. =)

Again, thx for your help!

[Shur'tugal]

I preffer a Blaziken with this moveset

Blaziken@Expert Belt
Adamant nature

Fire Punch
Stone Edge
Sky UpperCut
Shadow Claw

You should keep Blaziken because its art fire.

[redlizard]

i would recommend these movesets:

milotic
surf
ice beam
recover/aqua ring (i prefer aqua ring)
mirror coat (need to breed with a corsola, so means having to evolve a feebas again)

lucario
aura sphere
dark pulse
dragon pulse
flash cannon

[Skittleman]

For the special-attacking Lucario, I would go for this:

Lucario
Aura Sphere
Dark Pulse
Dragon Pulse
Psychic

Psychic over Flash Cannon because Fighting covers all that Steel covers and more, whereas Psychic gives you coverage over any poison or fighting types you may come across.
