What do you use your team for? Just in-game, casual or competitive battles vs other players or Battle Frontier? Single or double battles?

Cheating Rock Slide on a Modest Shiftry just seems silly to me, especially as you have already said it's a special sweeper. I would only cheat to create a perfectly legal Pokémon as a means of saving time.

This team is for all the stuff which is after defeating the elite four amd the champion, so yeah battle frontier will be one thing. I guess you're right about the rock slide part as in Emerald all the rock type moves are physical and they don't seem relevant on the Shiftry being a sp. sweeper but i only gave it because i wanted to cover the two weakness of Shiftry which are Fire and Flying. But along with that Shiftry still has a decent attack. But anyway what will be your suggestion for a move for shiftry?



Actually I too, cheated in all the legitimate moves in my team to save time. Hehehe

Thx for replying on a short notice!

Explosion could still be useful for when you're on low health or as a strategy in double battles alongside Dusclops (it'll take no damage since it's a ghost type). It has an effective power of 500 since before generation 5 due to halving the target's Defense.
