The Hoenn Triangle

[Shade2000]

If its about the tourney, sure! Breed up some prizes, but you can still enter!
@Snivy, I dunno, it just is. i read somewhere. Warrior seems ripped. It gets my vote

[snivy trainer]

@Norns, what about you? Skyrim wise.

Warrior seems alright, but does this mean one or two handed weapons? 2 handed weapons are stronger, but aren't as fast and don't block as well. 1 handed weapons mean that you csn have another weapon (dual wielding) a shield or even a spell! Warriors don't use spells though.

[Ponymon]

What about some kind of elf? I think you mentioned elves a while back. And as far as I know, they can use spells, right?

[Shade2000]

@Norns, How is isabel, is she clinging to you?

[Ponymon]

Nah, but I had to go to her house yesterday. I got through it by showing her the magic of MLP. It's not as bad not being in a class with friends as I thought it would be.

Up for a PO battle?

[snivy trainer]

High Elves are the mages, Dark Elves are a cross between thieves and mages, and Wood Elves are sneaking archers. I'm liking my High Elf at the moment, and maybe I'll stick to him. I don't know. I'm called Harry Potter (Skyrim, not my real name). I don't know.

Back to Pokemon.

[Shade2000]

Oh ok fine.

How is it snivy? Anything needed?

[Shade2000]

Its good, only one thing, i wouldn't have all attacking moves on your magnezone.

[Ponymon]

Other pokemon do the rest though, so it's good to counter stuff

[snivy trainer]

WoW. That's a great team Norns. WoW. Speechless.

I'm going BW2 OU Rain. I've made a Rain team before, but I'm making a new one for the tier. It will have Tornadus- T in it. But what Politoed do I use? I'm not a Specs fan, but Scarf might be OK, as would a bulky set.

@Shade it's a Scarf Magnezone, it has to have 4 moves to be effective.

[Shade2000]

Ok, sorry didn't notice that. Yep i have one like that, Cept it's not magnezone and it's adamant

[Ponymon]

WoW. That's a great team Norns. WoW. Speechless.

Thanks snivy if that comes from you, then I know it's good

@shade Scarf pokes are quite common

[snivy trainer]

Fair enough. But if I have one critisicm, it's that I'd have Justified over Inner Focus on Lucario, as it gets a +1 attack boost switching in on a Dark type move, which it 4x resists. Tyranitar cannot stay in on a +1 Lucario, unless it's Scarf or faster (and Tyranitar isn't very fast).


Onto my Rain team. I don't know what set to use though. Any ideas?

[Shade2000]

Lol, Inner focus is like the worst trait for a lucario. Steadfast is ok, It turns what you're blocking into an attack boost.

[snivy trainer]

Norns, you posted it on 5th gen Competetive RMT?! Wow.

The beginning of my Rain team:

Politoed@ Leftovers
Bold Nature (+Def/-Atk)
EVs: 252 HP / 232 Def / 24 SpD
Trait: Drizzle
- Scald
- Toxic
- Perish Song
- Protect

Tornadus Therian@ Life Orb
Naive Nature (+Spe/-SpD)
EVs: 4 Atk / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Trait: Regenerator
- Hurricane
- U- Turn
- Superpower
- Heat Wave

[Shade2000]

OMG!!!!! I Have this friend who has disabled her VMS and her inbox is full, and she's waiting for me to reply to her messages!
Norns, Posted in in 5th gen competitve RMT? Worst desision of your life sister, worst desiscion.

[Ponymon]

Whatever.

Going now, bye!

[snivy trainer]

How so? She/he (sorry) will get advice on how to make their team better.

Onto my team:

Jirachi@ Leftovers
Careful Nature (+SpD/-SpA)
EVs: 252 HP / 224 SpD / 32 Spe
Trait: Serene Grace
- Body Slam
- Wish
- Iron Head
- Stealth Rock

This works well, providing my team with health when needed. I'm thinking of adding Dragonite or a levitating Dragon (such as Hydreigon, Salamence, Latias or Latios) as they have fantastic synergy with Jirachi. I also need a spinner.

Now I've decided to switch Tornadus- T with Thundurus- T. It gets Thunder. And has an Electric immunity. It also has better synergy than Tornadus did with Jirachi and Politoed.

Thundurus Therian@ Choice Scarf
Timid Nature (+Spe/-Atk)
EVs: 4 HP / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Trait: Volt Absorb
- Thunder
- Hidden Power {Ice}
- Volt Switch
- Focus Blast

[snivy trainer]

I've done it! Made my team! It consists of Politoed / Tornadus- T / Thundurus- T / Jirachi / Mamoswine / Forretress.

Politoeds' job is to set up rain, which it does well. It also has usable bulk and has a decent support set. Jirachi is my Stealth Rocker, which helps me counter the Therian formes. It also passes wishes to my team, as none of them have reliable recovery. The Therians are there to sweep. Forretress spins, and sets up Spikes and Toxic Spikes. Mamoswine is my Therian check, and can help take down weakened weather Pokemon with Ice Shard. This is a decent team, but I'm going to test it this weekend (I'll have to get better internet protection as it crashes my computer if it tries to download. Version 2 PO that is).
