Team Building / Baton Pass Chain Team Post Ban - limited to 3 users of BP

« on: June 17, 2014, 00:15 »

This is my attempt to produce the best Baton Pass chain team with the limitation of 3 users of Baton Pass, due to a recent ban. I started by looking at what looks like the best 6 BP team as posted by the guy who topped the leaderboard with it, thus making the team more popular and ultimately getting the ban. I figured the best BP recipient is probably Clefable, and the last 2 Pokémon are just there for support.

Scolipede (M) @ Mental Herb
Ability: Speed Boost
EVs: 240 HP / 80 Def / 188 Spd
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Iron Defense
- Protect
- Substitute
- Baton Pass

This Pokémon is directly copied from the original team, it passes Iron Defense, Substitute and speed boosts. It can alternate between Protect and Substitute to get more speed boosts. It is usually best to keep a Substitute up on BP teams to avoid critical hits and status.

Espeon (M) @ Leftovers
Ability: Magic Bounce
EVs: 200 HP / 56 Def / 252 SDef
Calm Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Calm Mind
- Stored Power
- Substitute
- Baton Pass

This was was copied over too. It passes CM/Sub and can sweep with Stored Power.

Zapdos @ Leftovers
Ability: Pressure
EVs: 252 HP / 228 Def / 28 SAtk
Bold Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Charge
- Thunderbolt
- Substitute
- Baton Pass

Also copied over, though I chose to use Charge over Roar since I need to make the most of BP due to having only 3 users of the move.

Clefable @ Leftovers
Ability: Magic Guard
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SAtk
Bold Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Calm Mind
- Moonblast
- Moonlight
- Stored Power

This is my Baton Pass recipient, it can't BP itself but Moonlight helps keep it healthy, and with enough boosts it should have no problem sweeping and healing any damage. Magic Guard also means it takes no damage from Toxic, Burns, or entry hazards. Calm Mind makes it not so reliant on having boosts passed to it, I've used this set myself on non-BP teams.

Vaporeon (F) @ Leftovers
Ability: Water Absorb
EVs: 192 HP / 252 Def / 64 Spd
Bold Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Wish
- Scald
- Roar
- Protect

The 6 BP team included Vaporeon, but this one is different in that it only passes Wish, in order to heal important Pokémon that may have been weakened and allow the team to continue functioning. It has Roar to stop opposing Pokémon from setting up on it.

Mandibuzz (F) @ Leftovers
Ability: Overcoat
EVs: 248 HP / 136 Def / 108 SDef / 16 Spd
Bold Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Foul Play
- Roost
- Taunt
- Defog

This is my 2nd support Pokémon, mainly for Defog. It has Foul Play to take on physical attackers, and Taunt mainly to stop entry hazard users and utility/setup moves in general.

All suggestions are welcome, I just want to produce the best version of the team.

UPDATE: I've just played this team on Showdown, and so far 1 loss and 5 wins. The loss was my first time playing the team and I was playing badly. I reckon the team is pretty good, and I don't think many people will be prepared for it since the ban. My rating is only 1209 though, so this is not representative of high level play. Here are the replays I managed to save:

http://pokemonshowdown.com/replay/ou-131795925
http://pokemonshowdown.com/replay/ou-131804493

I've also found that Vaporeon works quite well as a recipient, able to beat a lot of Pokémon with Scald plus recovery and Roaring out any setup sweepers.

X and Y/OmegaRuby and AlphaSapphire / Vivillon not showing in my Friend Safari (NOW FIXED BY PATCH)

« on: June 14, 2014, 20:00 »

I have a bug safari that has Combee, Volbeat and Vivillon, and the little images when you enter the safari are only there for Combee and Volbeat. I have caught one Vivillon and KO'd another, the image still doesn't appear. The pattern I got is the Garden Pattern.

Trades / Raphetty's IV and Pokédex entries shop - 5 IV Pokémon and dex fillers available!

« on: June 12, 2014, 02:23 »

Welcome to my shop - this should be an easier way for me to fill my Pokédex in exchange for Pokémon with great IVs, though I can also provide Pokémon for your Pokédex should you need them.

SHOP RULES

• You get your Pokémon when full payment is made - for example if trading 5 of yours for 1 of mine you get yours when you trade the 5th one.
• If you would like your Pokémon to have a nickname, please specify before the trade is made; no tradebacks just for nicknames. I will specify if an in-stock Pokémon can't be nicknamed.
• If you have any credit left over after making trades, I will make a note of it in this post, and you may use this credit at a later date.
• If no EVs are specified on in-stock Pokémon, it will have zero EVs.
• If you would like me to EV train your Pokémon, it will cost an additional 5 credits for the service, or 1 credit to convert a level 100 EV spread to a level 50 one.
• Please be patient if you are requesting a Pokémon that I need to breed; sometimes this will be very quick, other times it could take hours.
• IVs are given in the order HP / Atk / Def / Sp.A / Sp.D / Spe.
• I would be happy to help anyone new to competitive battling, so don't hesitate to ask.
• My decision is final.

X and Y/OmegaRuby and AlphaSapphire / My team after beating the Elite Four/Champion

« on: April 09, 2014, 00:44 »

In this team there is one HM move (including Rock Smash although it's a TM) on each Pokémon. I put replacement moves after --> myself to dissuade people from suggesting moves; I know how to build teams. Also all of them are EV trained, as I love the Super Training feature, and it makes them somewhat competitive in random battles. There are also some others that I've trained but left out of the team for the moment, which are Lucario Lv.65, Talonflame Lv.78, Linoone Lv.71, Celebi Lv.70 and Xerneas Lv.56. When I put Linoone back it can hold some HMs to free up some slots.

Dragonite Lv.59 @ Amulet Coin **Draka
Hasty nature
- Dragon Claw --> Outrage
- Flamethrower
- Thunderbolt
- Waterfall

Will probably be replaced with a standard Dragon Dance set; this one is only here for Waterfall and Sky Battles.

Aerodactyl Lv.86 @ Aerodactylite **Scaryo
Careful nature --> Adamant
- Stone Edge
- Earthquake
- Fly --> Aerial Ace
- Crunch --> Fire Fang

Delphox Lv.83 @ Mind Plate **Abrox
Naive nature --> Timid
- Flamethrower --> Will-O-Wisp
- Fire Blast
- Psychic
- Cut --> Shadow Ball/Grass Knot

Starter #1.

Venusaur Lv.84 @ Venusaurite **Bloomer
Calm nature
- Petal Dance --> Giga Drain
- Rock Smash --> Synthesis/Sludge Bomb
- Leech Seed
- Sleep Powder

Starter #2.

Greninja Lv.81 @ Never-Melt Ice
Timid nature
- Surf
- Dark Pulse
- Ice Beam
- Extrasensory

I traded one of my bad natured Latias for this on the GTS, and trained it from Level 1. It has Protean and 17/31/31/31/31/31 IVs.

Haxorus Lv.83 @ Leftovers **Haxie
Adamant nature
- Strength --> Swords Dance
- X-Scissor
- Outrage
- False Swipe

Catcher with a high Attack stat. But I would like a Scrappy Pangoro so I can catch ghosts more easily.
