Garbodor (Impish, Stench)
Rock Blast
Gunk Shot
Toxic Spikes
Amnesia

Seismitoad (Quirky, Swift Swim)
Hydro Pump
Rain Dance
Earthquake
Sludge Bomb

Shelmet (Not yet evolved) (Timid, Hydration)
Guard Split
Bug Buzz
Giga Drain
Focus Blast

Comments?

[WMBQ]

In game, I presume?

For the most part, I like it :D

Your Seismitoad bothers me a bit--why Hydro Pump instead of Surf?

Otherwise, for an ingame team, it looks like it'll do the trick. Do you have an affinity for lumpy Pokemon or something? All of the Pokemon on your team-- bar Shelmet-- are so... LUMPY

----

Anyway, I just went into the Battle Institute and I scored 5599 :D I'm proud of myself.

[Zanapher]

you could teach seismitoad sludge wave instead of sludge bomb its essentially a poison type surf attack though it has a less chance for poisoning an opponent.

[Neosquid]

I like Hydro Pump more because it wont hurt my teammate when used in Double Battles. Same for Sludge Bomb.

Also, I might use this team competitively when the 5th Gen PBR comes out.

[Zanapher]

I'm thinking about raising a ninetales and a kingdra for double battles any suggestions on what to teach them?

Heres the Gen 5 Pokemon that I have trained so far:

Stunfisk (Adamant, Static)
Curse
Earthquake
Stone Edge
Rest

Oh Stunfisk... How u irk me... Ugh... first off, I dislike Stunfisk anyways biasly based on typing. Electric/Ground? Thats terrible... Being ground type does him no favors, other than increasing what hits him super effectively from only groun (if he was only electric) to being weak to ground, water, AND grass... I spit on Stunfisk... Sorry Nick... I just truly dislike it. Other than that, your moveset is good and would prolly work well for this poke if it didnt have so many weaknesses... (Swampert owns this thing.)

Garbodor (Impish, Stench)
Rock Blast
Gunk Shot
Toxic Spikes
Amnesia

Ehh... Not supremely useful... Walled to death by any steel or rock/ground pokes, which there are a plenty. Idk what you could really do with this thing... I like the toxic spikes, but the other stuff doesnt click very well for me. Needz moar explosion and EQ/flamethrower (if he can learn it, idk)! lol

Seismitoad (Quirky, Swift Swim)
Hydro Pump
Rain Dance
Earthquake
Sludge Bomb

I like Seismitoad. And I like your moveset. RD works well in coercion with your Shelmet, so yes.

Shelmet (Not yet evolved) (Timid, Hydration)
Guard Split
Bug Buzz
Giga Drain
Focus Blast

Not so much understanding the move choicing here... Well, I do understand it, but theres jsut not enough coverage. Your moves overlap eachother. Bug Buzz and Giga Drain are great, but why Focus Blast? BB and GD already cover what Focus Blast does and more, so why not put something more useful? Maybe Power Swap? Idk... But if u come across a fire type this things in big trouble, so somethins gotta be done about it.

Comments?

Didnt mean my review to be as harsh as it sounded but... There ya go.

[Neosquid]

Well, I could get rid of Focus Blast.

Garbodor has a shit physical movepool, Rock Blast was the best thing I could get. Well, there was Body Slam, but...eh....

[Neosquid]

(lol Double Post)

What do you guys think of this future Drifblim?

Drifblim (Modest, Unburden)
Ghost Gem

Shadow Ball
Thunderbolt
Will-o-wisp
Destiny Bond

[WMBQ]

So here's a pseudo-Sandstorm team that I thought of on the walk home from school:

At a glance:
Tyranitar
Ferrothorn
Porygon2
Vaporeon
Excadrill
Gengar

In depth:

Tyranitar: Lead
Jolly/Sand Stream
Choice Scarf
252 Atk, 252 Spd, 4 Def
Earthquake
Stone Edge
Crunch
Pursuit

He's really just there to get the sand moving. With a Choice Scarf, he outspeeds quite a bit; Pursuit is there in case I get a good early matchup. With STAB, that goes up to 120 and has KO potential if the opponent switches.
------
Ferrothorn: Support
Sassy/Iron Thorns
Leftovers
252 HP, 248 SpDef, 8 Def
Spikes
Stealth Rock
Gyro Ball
Power Whip/Explosion (suggestions would be nice)

Nothing too crazy here. Ferrothorn can take a hit like a boss, and the SR/Spikes combo is quite nice if I can set it up. Sassy nature is to increase the power of Gyro Ball as much as possible.
------
Porygon2: Universal Wall
Calm/Download
Eviolite
252 HP, 72 SpDef, 184 Def
Recover
Thunder Wave
Ice Beam
Thunderbolt

This thing does. not. die. I've used him on a team before and I'm just bringing him back because I love him so... Eviolite gives him a ridiculous defensive spread (My Porygon2 has 360 in HP, Def, and SpDef), and he can take a hit sooo well. Recover is also GREAT. Thunder Wave is there to cripple sweepers, and the offensive moves provide BoltBeam coverage. Porygon2 <3
------
Vaporeon: Team Mom
Bold/Water Absorb
252 HP, 252 Def, 4 SpDef
Leftovers
Surf
Wish
Protect
Ice Beam

In Gen V, Wish restores 1/2 of the USER'S health, not the receiver's. This means that with 252 HP EVs, Vaporeon can pass 232 HP Wishes, healing a HUGE amount of HP for any other Pokemon on this team. Protect is there if Vaporeon wants the wish herself... so yeah, the point of Vaporeon is to heal everyone else while she can, particularly Ferrothorn. She also functions as a decent special wall, and occasionally a physical wall as well.
------
Excadrill: Physical Sweeper
Adamant/Sand Rush
??? (need help here... considering Air Balloon but ehh)
252 Atk, 252 Spd, 4 HP
Earthquake
Swords Dance
Rock Slide
X-Scissor

Swords Dance + 3 moves isn't exactly a novelty... but this little guy forms the crux of my team. Adamant nature gives him a ridiculous attack stat, and Sand Rush lets him outspeed pretty much everything with Sandstorm support. He should be very solid. I'm considering working a Rapid Spin on there, but I need some opinions on that.
------
Gengar: Special Sweeper/Fighting Absorber
Timid/Levitate
Life Orb (maybe; I also need help here)
252 SpAtk, 252 Spd, 4 Def
Shadow Ball
Focus Blast
Psychic
Thunderbolt

Psychic is on there to deal with Fighting-type Pokemon, as my team DOES have a bit of a weakness to those guys... Ghost type helps here. I was thinking about giving him a pair of Choice Specs instead of a Life Orb, but I dunno. This guy is definitely a work in progress.

Alright so yeah. Comments? Criticism? Advice? Gimme everything!
