Pokémon!

I was actually curious of a moveset for Magikarp. So I went to Smogon and was greeted by a very nice guide.

One of the worst things about Christmas has to be the mall Santas. Every year these vapid tokens of an overly commercialized holiday pop up all over like clockwork, intending to spread joy and cheer but doing nothing but delivering lackadaisical performances and disappointment. Many a kid's holidays have been spoiled by these mundane avatars of Kris Kringle in what can only be described as a ritualistic assassination of childhood innocence. Truly, they are a blight upon our cultural landscape, and only when they are washed from our social consciousness can some form of dignity begin to return to Christmas.

Everything stated in the above paragraph also applies to Delibird.

Brilliant.

[Well]

Someone make me a team that supports butterfree and choice scarf azumaril

252SpAth/252Spe/4Def
-Bug Buzz
-Quiver Dance
-Substitute
-Sleep Powder

Azumarill@Choice Scarf

Ice Punch
Superpower
Return
Waterfall

Sandslash@Leftovers
Ability: Sand Rush

252Atk/252Spe/4SpD
X-Scizor
Stone Edge
Earthquake
Rapid Spin

Hippowdon@Leftovers
Ability: Sand Stream
Nature: Adamant
252HP/252Atk
Slack Off

These for now

I'll give another one to get rid of those pesky, bulky water types.

Roserade@Choice Specs
Ability: Natural Cure
Nature: Timid
252SpAtk/252Spd
Leaf Storm
Sleep Powder
Hidden Power (Fire)
Extrasensory

Also, I thought Sandslash was in RU and not in UU (?) At least that's what Smogon says.

[zito]

Sandslash and Hippowdon? Gross and I gotta take aqua jet. Those aqua jet sweeps....

[Well]

Sandslash and Hippowdon? Gross and I gotta take aqua jet. Those aqua jet sweeps....

If you want aqua jet, you should get the azumaril, I am myself running with choice band, but that requires rain support in general (not that it's bad without). My thought process was that you will want to have an answer to swift swim in UU (like ludicollo) and a rapid spinner, because else you get a nice -50% from stealth rock each time butterfree comes in, reducing its chances. So, sandslash covers both requirements with the x2 boost in speed via hippowdon and the rapid spin it carries. I was to add reuniclus with a trick room set and give hippowdon a -SpE nature so you can have another combo within your team.




EDIT:

Scrap the team suggested above.

Hippowdon has jumped in OU & Sandslash in RU (sigh).

Aqua Jet and choice scarf?

You really want this team to be useless right?

Pretty sure Sandslash got dumped into RU because Hippowdon got into OU.

Sorry I meant choice band that should bring it's attack to 150 with huge power and 100 hp and 80/80 def and spdef which isn't bad with it's HP and massive attack.

It'll be interesting once azumaril gains it's fairy typing but that means poison is going to wreck it.

Yeah Choice Band azumarill is actually viable.

My preferred moveset with it is

- Waterfall
- Aqua jet
- Ice Punch

As for the last spot, you'll have t decide, the best options are Superpower or Double-Edge, both have Pros and Cons, Double_Edge lowers Azumarills survivability, but you can use it to sweep. Superpower has better coverage, and no recoil, but you can't really use it to sweep a team because it weakens your own attack.

[zito]

Now a pokemon that got shafted would be corsola. Poor thing.

Anyway what's everyone's top 6 that they carry around in game non competitive.

I got:

Butterfree
Azumarill
Quagsire
Escavelier
Qwilfish
Magneton

[Immitis]

my team right now in black2 is charizard, dewott, zoroark, lucario, keldeo, and genesect

- - - Updated - - -

my team in white was zoroark, samurott, liepard, hydreigon, bisharp, and victini

[Deleted]

My main team for the Story in Black 2 was

Zoroark
Samurott
Haxorus
Ferrothorn
Volcarona
Sigilyph

My team I currently use for PWT and some online battling

Gallade
Chandelure
Haxorus
Hydreigon
Garchomp

The last spot switcches between Ninjask, Sigilyph and Eelektross

[Deleted]

My team for my Black 2 story was pre-set. I mean, I had the pokemon from my White version ready (at low levels, and only used them when I got to the respective level in the storyline).

Those were:
Scyther -> Scizor
Electabuzz -> Electivire
Growlithe -> Arcanine
Lucario
Espeon
Archeops

I don't battle online but my PWT team (playing triple battles so it's 6v6) is:

Politoed
Nature: Bold
Ability: Drizzle
Held Item: Leftovers
Hypnosis
Toxic
Protect
Scald

Zapdos
Nature: Timid
Ability : Pressure
Held Item: Life Orb
Thunder
Heat Wave
Hidden Power Ice
Roost

Kingdra
Nature: Modest
Ability: Swift Swim
Held Item: Choice Specs
Hydro Pump
Draco Meteor
Ice Beam
Dragon Pulse

Salamence
Nature: Naive
Ability: Moxie
Held Item: Focus Sash
Outrage
Dragon Dance
Earthquake
Fire Blast

Terrakion
Nature: Jolly
Ability: Justified
Held Item: Choice Band
Close Combat
Stone Edge
X-Scissor
Sacred Sword

Garchomp
Nature: Adamant
Ability: Rough Skin
Held Item: Choice Scarf
Outrage
Earthquake
Aqua Tail
Crunch

My 3 openers are Politoed, Zapdos and Kingdra. Most of the times I finish PWT without needing to switch any of them out or any of them dying really.

Instant and everlasting rain is very strong as it makes Zapdos' Thunder 100% accuracy. Hidden Power Ice wraps up things nicely on Zapdos' end as it provides good coverage. Heat Wave, while it does get weaker in the rain, is great to pick out Focus Sash users and/or last hit anyone who is low on hp while doing damage to everyone else as well.

It should be no wonder why Kingdra is a part of a rain team as its Swift Swim ability will be active indefinitely (unless the weather changes of course). Its Hydro Pump becomes an absolute wrecking ball to many Pokemon who think they can take it while Kingdra wears its cool Choice Specs and just swims away as they faint (because cool guys don't look at explosions). In other news, Dragon Pulse is exceptionally handy in Triple Battles as it can hit the furthest away Pokemon as well (hence why I choose Kingdra to be my 3rd Pokemon spot as he can hit the opponent's 3rd Pokemon while that Pokemon cannot easily hit Kingdra).

Politoed is great to CC enemies with Hypnosis as it's fairly bulky, because who doesn't like putting enemies to sleep and feeling their rage through the screen? Otherwise I use it as a meat wall when I predict it's going to take a hit and use Protect.

If any of those 3 for some reason goes down, it's likely that an enemy is low enough for Salamence to revenge kill and start on its Moxie rampage which is backed up by its Focus Sash. I really do hate the annoying music that's in the B/W games while one of your Pokemon is low, although not many live long enough to take Salamence to such low hp.

Terrakion is a safe pick for those pesky Ice types that might want to bring my dragons down. Its speed is decent-to-high and it can wreck a lot of Pokemon with a single Close Combat while wearing that Choice Band. Its X-Scissor and Stone Edge provide it with great coverage. Its Pokedex entry says that it can and has destroyed a castle. When you're up against that you better be ready for some serious damage coming your way!

Lastly, Garchomp is a force to be reckoned with by itself but with a rain boosted Aqua Tail in its kit, it becomes even more so. This behemoth will always have a chance to strike fear into the hearts of its opponents when equipped with a Choice Scarf. As my favourite Pokemon, I can't even think of not having Garchomp in my team. Even taking his insane stats aside, his super cool looks make him good enough to be put on a team!
