Pokemon General Discussion Thread - It's Lit(ten)!

i need to get back on wonder trade off load some of these 4 IV joltik and phantumps i have

Would you want a 4iv marill or charmander for a phantump? I won’t be on until later though

If you have something which can make it sunney that will help vs hydro pump, my placeholder Ninetails whilst I’m looking for something better always survives Rotom W hydro pump with absolutely nothing in special defence.

Having trouble with Aegislash myself, swords dance and kings sheild are strong enough, paired with shadow sneak for priority and sacred sword for not giving a shit about defense buffs they are insane.

Was thinking of replacing my Noivern with a ghost but his taunt and not being 1 shotted by neutral shadow sneak are just too vauable now.

I got a 4iv JAP Bulbasaur on Wondertrade. No Chlorophyll though.

i havent had any time to do any kind of bs this week at all… ;_;

I’m running a sandstorm team. Sandstorm helps vs special attacks but hydro pump don’t care. All rotom-w are levitate so I can’t ground its electric.

What’s your team look like?

This has been THE INVINCIBLE SWORDSMAN saying:

Got a 5iv rhyhorn with wonder trade yesterday. It’s a female though.

Well at the moment a couple of my spots are really up in the air since Noivern is really only paying his way with taunt and Ninetails is just sort of there.

Goodra - Leftovers
Toxic Wall
Toxic
Infestation
Thunderbolt (Was fire blast and then dragon tail for a while, but I realised I had no electric attacks)

Tyrantrum - Undecided (Thinking focus band to let him take a special super effective hit)
Fire Fang
Ice Fang
Rock Slide
Dragon Dance

Pinsir - Pinsirite
Sword Dance
Close Combat
Quick Attack
X-Scissor (Thinkng of switching this for something else)

Greninja - Life Orb (Once I’ve farmed it)
Water Shuriken
Ice Beam
U-Turn
Dark Slash (This move is sort of in limbo atm, stuck it in since I had nothing to murk ghosts with and turning into a ghost type vs a ghost is a no-no)

I’ve been breeding a Cloyster to try and get a physical wall in who can also eat substitutes for breakfast and I’m looking at a few options for tthe last slot, looking at this now I guess another special attacker would be nice, used to have too many but now it seems to have gone the other way, would also let me keep attempting to smack Aegislash without giving a damn about kings sheild.

So the 5IV Charmander I got has Dragon Rush, Dragon Dance, Counter, and Dragon Pulse.

Since it’s Adamant I’m getting rid of Dragon Pulse for a physical fire move, but why did this guy teach it Counter?

IF you need to get rid of aegislash nothing counters it harder then scarfed diggersby.

Thanks, I’m guessing the idea is that normal typing stops shadow sneak and earthquake doesn’t get hit by kings sheild so he just smashs away with stabbed earthquakes until Aegislash switchs out or dies?

Might try that but switch the Diggersby for Pyroar or Helioisk because that would give me a special attacker too, well that and Diggersby is really ugly :P.

Gliscor + taunt = done

Gliscor takes damage though diggersby takes none. Plus Taunt gliscor is meh scarf diggersby does a lot of things imo. One more thing to add is a lot of aegis carry HP ice I do sometimes.

Don’t get me wrong taunt is a solid option but why make it switch when you can insta kill it.

@Iduno Pyroar is pretty horrible and I don’t think heliolisk 1v1’s aegis? Maybe it does I don’t know but it won’t OHKO him.

DOES NOBODY HERE UNDERSTAND THE CONCEPT OF A FUCKING REMATCH

lol, calm down homie. I thought my box was set up when we went into that first match, but I didn’t even have an item on my Yanmega. GG’s

When will you people learn? Accepting a battle invite from Martian is like signing a contract…in blood. You’re committed, by PokeLaw, to at least a 2/3. Breaking that commitment is like a slap in the face to Arceus himself… Don’t do it :coffee:.

If I don’t have Az or Talon in my current battle box team then I don’t accept invites from martian because fuck mega blaziken.

add this as a disclaimer in the OP

i do like the 2/3 or 3/5 idea

sure thing, a charmander would be nice. my in game name is dave send me a trade request

Martian using Mega Blaziken? Man… what a scumbag. :lol:

I’ll have about 6 battle ready Pokemon tomorrow.

No organized teams yet though. C’mon PokeBank!
