Zam- fine

Tyranitar- (FKNG MOVESET STEELER!!! THAT WAS MINE.....) fine
Starmie- Ask someone else
Medicham- Ask someone else
Persian- WTF? Persian? What a UU!!!!!!!! GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY. Switch to granny he is underused and has an awesome movepool.

DCR, WTF? Is there a problem? Unless your Chaos or Dissonance, I could whip your asse. You big fu�king noob.

Trust me, that Persian is a killer. Any other moveset for him sucks but since I wiped out an entire team that had taken no damage whatsoever with that Persian alone then he must be pretty good. Granny? You mean Granbull right?

Speed: 333 (148)
Special Attack: 149 (0)

I suppose it's all going to be messed up.

Generally you'd give it in this format:

Pokemon(M/F)@Item**Nickname
Trait
EV/EV/EV/EV/EV/EV
Nature (+stat -stat)
Move
Move
Move
Move

So it would look something like this:

Salamence (M) @ Choice Band
Trait: Intimidate
EVs: 6 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spd
Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Hidden Power [Flying]
- Earthquake
- Fire Blast
- Rock Slide

You dont post the actual stats. Also, to easily do this for the entire team on netbattle, when in the team builder, go to File-->Export to Text.

only 1 question
if i put an umbreon into play, i make 2 or 3 curses. if i make baton pass to a pokemon who has a white herb the white herb restores the speed lost in the curses?

Yes. Works well with fast pokemon like Aerodactyl.

i was thinking on aerodactyl to make this lol

I am not talking about ur Persian, urs is great. I'm talking about Persians inefficency, since he always needs to switch out, becuse there's not as much advantage, opposed to Granny. Granny (Granbull) is very underused, and KILLS.

Persian is actually a very good pokemon, though I'm suprised that the set mentioned works... I like using Choice Banded Persian.

i have a question. Cyote gave gameshark codes to get shiny pokemon but it says you need the pokemons digits for the modifier but where do u get these?

Wrong thread and double post.

Thanks. I rarey need to switch out with him. If I put something to sleep with Hypnosis then they usually switch to a Fight type. The good thing is that when they switch to a Fight type (like Medicham) I usually make Substitute that same turn. This makes me get at least two hits in with Return or Shadow Ball (if it's Medicham) which is normally enough to kill them. If I max out Speed Persian almost always goes first. There is only one problem, that is Hypnosis only has 60% accuracy and sometimes enjoys missing at the worst possible times.

Delcatty: I don't know if these are good or bad. I suppose the moveset is good though.

Lapras: Hydro Pump isn't very good. Drop it for Body Slam.

Vigoroth: Why does no-one evolve these to Slaking? It's ok, but he's more of a physical guy. His Special Attack isn't bad though, so I suppose you ahve a good one.

Torkoal: Heat Wave for Rock Slide (if he learns it, which he should) or if not, Earthquake. Earthquake is better.

Tyranitar: Thunderbolt or Dragon Dance for Shock Wave, otherwise good.

Dragonite: Keep Dragon Claw. Drop the others for Flamethrower, Thunderbolt and Ice Beam.

Being honest, I'm not so good with rating Hoenn pok�mon since I don't know much about a lot of them. o I ca't give a good rating.

ND: The natures and EVs really matter, you should spend some more time on them. Also, a pokemon with Flying type or Levitate would help your team alot, as you have nothing that can take a hit from EQ and not take huge amounts of damage.

Bronco:
Sceptile: Why not just max sp atk?

Milotic: I like more Defense and would put a little on Sp atk, but okay.

Skarmory: I dont like it. Needs more leftovers. Needs more Rest > Toxic. Needs more Impish. Needs more HP and Def. You cant have Drill Peck and Whirlwind on the same set, so replace Drill Peck with HP: Flying.

Tyranitar: No Defense. Max Speed. HP: Rock over RS is up to you.

Jolteon: Leftovers. Less Def more Sp Atk. HP: Ice/Grass or Substitute>Thunder Wave.

Latios: I like, but maybe Safeguard over HP: Fire. Otherwise Thunderwave or Toxic Blissey will beat it.

Sceptile-- Not a Sp. Sweeper >_<
T-tar owns as it is
Latios- safeguard? Who's heard of Safeguard on Latios @_@
