If you can give me advices, I´d be very grateful.If you want I can put their natures

[Zhanton]

I'm not going to give you advertisements, but I'll give you advice. :P

Psychic only hits Fighting- and Poison-types for super-effective, neither of which are threats to Chandelure. Go with Calm Mind instead for more boosting.

Mienshao
Regenerator
~ High Jump Kick
~ U-turn
~ Fake Out
~ Rock Slide

Fake Out for flinching, HJK for heaps of damage and Rock Slide for coverage. U-turn out when you're hurt and switch back in and you'll be (partially) healed.

Braviary wants Return > Crush Claw and Brave Bird > Sky Drop for more damage in both cases. I'd also suggest Shadow Claw > Hone Claws for coverage.

Fighting + Ground share almost identical coverage. In Excadrill's case, Ground is superior since he gets STAB off it, so use Rock Slide > Brick Break for some nice coverage. Metal Claw has pretty bad coverage on Excadrill, so use Swords Dance for boosting.

Dragon + Ground + Fire has perfect neutral coverage, so go with Earthquake > Rock Slide and Fire Punch > Stone Edge on Flygon.

Samurott wants Return > Razor Shell for neutral coverage and Grass Knot > Aerial Ace.

[Aura Sensai]

Samurott will do big domage with that set , so keep it

Excadrill is almost perfect , just get rid of Earthquake for Scratch.

[azeem40]

Substitute over Psychic. Its first three moves already get good coverage.

[Megamiguel3]

But in tournaments my friend said that sky drop has a glitch and when battling in union room he used sky drop and the pokemons never came down only after the battle counting as defeated

[Tsumiki]

A nitpick off zhanton's post, I'd run Fire Blast > Fire Punch on Flygon. Fire Blast usually hits for more damage in the off situation where you'd want to use a Fire Move; Rock Slide already hits Ice Types

Also, you may want to reformat your thread as stated by the rules. js

[azeem40]

I am not sure about that. I've never seen anyone use Fire Blast > Fire Punch on Flygon since it is coming off of his higher Atk stat.

[edonub]

Well competitively, you're supposed to run Adamant/jolly and max attack without investing anything on special attack, so it makes sense to use Fire Punch.
Ingame, if you don't care about evs or natures, Fire Blast coming off 80 base special attack hurts more than Fire Punch coming off base 100 attack. Especially considering most of the things you'll want to use Fire on, are weaker on the special side.

[azeem40]

Yeah, I suppose so. :b

[Megamiguel3]

I Changed my team to

Samurott lvl 96 Surf, X-Scissor, Razor Shell, Swords Dance

Excadrill lvl 96 Earthquake, Rock Slide, X-Scissor, Swords Dance

Braviary lv 68 Crush Claw, Brave Bird, Shadow Claw, Fly

Lilligant lvl 65 Dream Eater, Giga Drain, Sleep Powder, Hidden Power (bug)

Chandelure lvl 87 Energy Ball, Calm Mind, Shadow Ball, Flamethrower

Mienfoo lvl 27 (training with renegerator) Swift, Meditate, Detect, Fake Out

If you have time to give advices, Im grateful

[azeem40]

I'd get rid of Dream Eater. You already have a STAB grass attack for healing. Besides, DE is unreliable. Aqua Jet > Razor Shell for its middling speed and Ice Beam over SD. Maybe Megahorn > X-Scissor.

[Megamiguel3]

So what should I put on Lilligant. I´m thinking in Quiver Dance

[papayaperson]

I'd give Braviary Close Combat instead of Fly. Close Combat is super-effective against rock and ice types, which pose a huge threat the Braviary.
And like Azeem40 said, I'd use Megahorn instead of X-Scissor since it is more powerful.

[azeem40]

Yes, Quiver Dance is what makes Lilligant a great Special Sweeper. Definitely have it over Dream Eater.

[Megamiguel3]

Ok
Thanks for the help.Can you give me some advices on which atk should I put on mienshao

[azeem40]

Follow Zhanton's advice for Mienshao.

[Megamiguel3]

[BLAZIKEN7-TIAGO-ARCEUS7]

you should
its better porque rhyperior pode aprender ataques fortes e de diversos tipos

[Shine]

Put the new team on the first post, not on the middle of the thread.

[Megamiguel3]

How do I do that

[azeem40]

Edit the first post.

[BLAZIKEN7-TIAGO-ARCEUS7]

mienshao u-rurn is kind useless because its a bug atk and not powerfull put another fighting atk because hi jump kick if you missed you lose very life

[Zhanton]

Mienshao's best ability is Regenerator, which heals some of your HP when you switch out. If you take recoil damage from HJK, you can U-turn out, dealing some damage and switching out, and when you switch back in later, 1/3 of Mienshao's maximum HP will be healed.

(That said, on the Mienshao set I posted on the previous page, you can run Drain Punch > Fake Out if you want a secondary STAB move)

[BLAZIKEN7-TIAGO-ARCEUS7]

i guess so but still you can get better moves than u-turn...
