What's your pokemon team?

[Shadow*91]

@WMBQ: or you could raise your team up more.

Hey WMBQ, about your team, I know I'll sound incredibly lazy about this, but.. You could level grind Charmeleon a lot, and it'l definatly OHKO Staryu with Mega Punch. Starmie will probably be a 2HKO - if Charmeleon's a high enough level, it won't be OHKO'd. Brute force solves a lot of things. XD

For level grinding, if you havn't already, there's the nugget bridge and the trainers above. Do you have the vs. seeker yet, btw? That'd certainly help.. I can't remember when in the game you get it, though.

Storm's brilliant Oddish idea is also reliable. Oddish evolves at level 21 btw, so Gloom would rip Staryu and Starmie to shreds with Mega Drain(which is learned at lv. 21 right before it evolves, btw). A gloom isn't that bad of an addition to your team either, right? Especially once you find a leaf stone.

Sorry for being such a lazy n00b Mega Luigi, but here's a link to Deoxys-A's Smogon page. The first Life Orb set is what you'd want, standard epic Deoxys-A. It's exactly what I'd recommend anyways. I'm sure it's what you'd want, after all.

you get the VS. Seeker in the Vermillion Pokecenter. he's at a part too soon to get it.

and this is why i pick Bulbasaur. Misty becomes crap.

@WMBQ Your team seams good for the begginning of the game, I agree with Shadow*91, raising your team up a little can't hurt. Also, buy super potions, they will help alot. I know this is a little off topic, but is it true that firered/leafgreen pokemon's levels are raised easier. Thanks

Hmm..

What's a good moveset for a Porygon?

[The Storm]

you get the VS. Seeker in the Vermillion Pokecenter. he's at a part too soon to get it.

and this is why i pick Bulbasaur. Misty becomes crap.

You pick Bulbasaur bc you love him

They seem to be when I raised them, though i have no official proof...

Tangrowth is an excellent poke, simply crappy SpD...good SpAtk though. I see what your trying to do with this one...its good, but i think it could improve. I dont like protect, since its only to stall. My Tangrowth, albeit different than yours, has modest nature, Sleep Powder, Wring Out, Giga Drain, and Leech seed. Works good for me.

Togekiss @ Leftovers
Nature: Modest
252 HP / 152 SpA / 104 Spe
Nasty Plot
Roost
Air Slash
Aura Sphere

Togekiss! Awesome Poke, and excellent moveset. Same that mine has. No complaints here.

Lickylicky @ Life Orb
Nature: Brave
116 HP / 252 Atk / 140 SpA
Explosion
Earth Quake
Fire Blast
Ice Beam

Lickilicky is fun to use. Seeing the difference between SpAtk and Atk, id opt out Ice Beam for Avalanche since he is slow anyway, and maybe Brick Break instead of Fire Blast? Thats the one i use anyway, but instead of brick break mine has Bulk Up.

Mamoswine @ Choice Band
nature: Jolly
252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spe
Earthquake
Ice Shard
Stone Edge
Bite

Nice Mamoset. I opted for Ancient Power instead of Stone Edge for accuracy and pump up. I also gave Facade instead of Bite for extra power and Status recoil.

Gallade @ Life Orb
Nature: Adamant
64 HP / 252 Atk / 192 Spe
Swords Dance
Close Combat
Ice Punch
Night Slash

I like Gallade, fun poke. Id retract Night Slash for Psycho Cut, just more useful. Ive tried the Swords Dance thing, and usually, Gallade cant take it, and he doesnt really have the speed for a sweep. I just switched that for Earthquake for type coverage. Either that or Leaf Blade.

Scizor @ Life Orb
Nature: Adamant
32 HP / 252 Atk / 224 Spe
Swords Dance
Bullet Punch
Brick Break
X-Scizor

Excellent set. Nuff said.

[Bowserizer]

Thanks Storm! I'll wait to see if anybody else responds (CK/Fox/Strype), then I'll employ it all to my team, woooh

[Strype McClaine]

First a few things quick,

1) BR, Quickly looking at it, that team is solid move sets, and no major glaring weakens.I prefer double status galade, specially on a team light on support, but seriously, much improvement

2) Storm, Listen to what foxxy said, your suggestions, are terrible

3) Foxxy, Thank you for the good laugh, I needed that man, rough weekend. Also thanks for holding down the fort for me.

4) CK. I heard what you been saying about hitmonchan...
THe chan man is not pleased with your actions.
Choice Scarf Close Combat may find its way to your jaw

[WMBQ]

So I beat Misty using my technique... I got lucky and had like 6 sleep turns for Mankey to use Leer. He took two Water Pulses (which is unusual), getting me Leer count up to 6. I let Mankey die, then sent in Charmeleon, who took the usual Water Pulse, and then OHKOed with Mega Punch.

I didn't end up getting that Oddish... instead, I found that it is possible to go to Vermilion before beating her, so I went there and defeated everyone on Route 11 and the SS Anne. The winning team was:

Charmeleon Lv 24
Mega Punch
Ember
Metal Claw
Scratch

Butterfree Lv 24
Confusion
Tackle
Sleep Powder
Whirlwind

Mankey Lv 24
Low Kick
Fury Swipes
Karate Chop
Leer



Right now, that team is towards the end of Rock Tunnel, and is as follows:

Charmeleon Lv 28
Mega Punch
Ember
Metal Claw
Scratch

Butterfree Lv 29
Confusion
Aerial Ace
Sleep Powder
Whirlwind

Primape Lv 29
Low Kick
Fury Swipes
Karate Chop
Leer


...So, yes, I do intend to keep Butterfree on my team through the E4 for the challenge.

Theorized other teammates:
Zapdos
Omastar
Exeggutor
