Pokemon Series

Pokemon is awesome. If you disagree... Well, I'll be upset, but I'll leave you to your own opinion. I could see this being a place to post some of your pokemon teams for rating, or maybe individual pokemon. For example, mt Tentacruel.

Tentacruel
Ability- Liquid Ooze
Calm Nature (+Sp.Defense, -Attack)
Item-Leftovers
EVs- 188 Sp.Defense, 188 Defense, 128 HP
Toxic Spikes
Hex
Confuse Ray
Surf

A basic bulky Tentacruel with a twist. Surf is stab. Toxic Spikes are an excellent entry hazard. Confuse Ray is a good way to force a switch, and it's easy to get off with Tentacruel's above average speed. Hex is a base 100 damage move if the opponent has a status effect, so with toxic spikes out, it will regularly be doing that. Liquid Ooze is used here so you can counter Sub-Seeders and Drain Punch Conkledur.

I would love to post my team, but not only is it still in development, I don't pay much attention to strategy or anything like that, so I feel kinda embarrassed having it judged ^^;;

Don't be embarrassed to post it! If no one critiques it, you'll never be able to get better. And I'll gladly give positive help, I've been part of the battling scene for a long time, so I'll help in anyway I can!

I'll think about it then. Lemme continue building it up first, though. But yea, I like to just go with whatever looks shiny and fun, rather than what will win. Not that I don't put a little strategy in their attacks and stuff.

And that's perfectly fine. Fun teams are better than teams that win. Like I said, I'll help you in anyway I can!

Awesome! Thank you for making this! Anyway, like Jacob's, my team is under development as well, though, I'll post some of my Drifblim's info.

Drifblim:

Current Level: 48
Ability: Aftermath
Item: None (will be giving it a berry)
Moves:

Hmm... I assume this is an in-game? It's probably not bred I assume. If you're running Acrobatics and a berry, Unburden is a better ability. You'll get a stat boost from the berry, and a speed boost from Unburden. Thunder is inaccurate and only useful in rain. Hypnosis is nice but... eh, it's accuracy got nerfed in Black and White. Speaking of, is this Drifblim for BW or DPP?

This Drifblim is for Black/White, and it is bred (I haven't posted the stats yet). The berry is to improve Acrobatics' power after it is eaten, as the power doubles when a held item is lost. Thunder is for dealing with Water types in case my grass type faints beforehand, and hypnosis is inaccurate, but it's only in case Drifblim needs it, as this Drifblim does have a good speed stat. Plus, it has rather bad Physical defense, so having Aftermath helps.

Having a good speed stat is great, but you can never have enough speed. Let's say you have 100 speed and the opponent has 125. You eat your berry giving, say, +1 Attack. Unburdon activates giving you +1 Speed too. So now you have a better attack and 150 speed. You now out run the enemy. Or your berry gives you a +1 speed and then unburden. Now you have +2, the equivalent of an Agility. So now you have 200 speed. Aftermath is a good ability, but even with a low defence, Drifblim's large health stat compensates for it, just like Blissey. And Drifblim has immunities to 3 majorly physical types anyway; Normal, Fighting, and Ground.

S-Sorry if that came off as know-it-ally ^^;

Well, I have a Crustle with 31 Speed IVs!

Notes: Has had Pokerus; Was caught holding a Rare Bone.

Uh... uh... not trying to sound mean but... it's kinda crappy. Speed on a Crustle is nice, but it's naturally slow anyway. You can breed it with a ditto while it's holding a Power Anklet if you want. That way the kid will keep the speed IV.

The reason why I still want to build a high defense stat, even with HP, is because of physical attacks that are super effective to it, such as Shadow Claw or Ice Punch. Though, Drifblim's base stats in both Defense and Special Defense are rather low compared to it's other stats anyway.

Its Sp.Defence is low? That's odd. I remember it having a fairly good Base Sp.Defence. But either way, it's up to you. Personally I'd run Unburden, but Aftermath is just as usable.

But...But Crustette is the most win Crustle alive!

Then use it anyway, I'm not forcing you to do anything :3

Power to the Crustle!

Well, my team isn't complete yet, but I think I've got the ones I want to be there down, at least... lesse!

Banette (Still have to decide on a role for her. She relies mostly in Shadow Ball and Sucker Punch as for now)
Whimsicott (Speedy harmthef*ckup-er, with stun spore, leech seed and giga drain :3 )
Darmanitan (Flare Drive for hard times, Fire Punch for normal sweeping, has Belly Drum just in case I can pull that out)
Meinshao (Awesome attack, high speed, main physical sweeper, has Drain Punch)
Gothitelle (Good special attack and better special defense, sweeps with psychic but its mains are Fake Tears and Telekinesis)
Galvantula (I didn't know if I should use this one or Eelektross, but this has double type coverage so I'm keeping it anyways)

Well, that's how it's going as for now <:3

Ah, no Zen Mode. Sheer Force adds even more attack power~! :3

Well, mines' is in the 90s right now, but it's base special defense is 54, which is only 10 above defense. Still, the good HP will make up for it.

Also, I was trying to hatch a good Oddish for battling later (which will, of course, end up as either Vileplume or Bellossom), and I ended up getting 4 Oddishes with a 31 IV in one of their stats. Unfortunately, 3 of them had that IV in Attack, which isn't very useful for them, though, one of them is male, so I'm giving it to a friend who's going to use it to breed the stat down to a Lotad for a good Ludicolo.

Ah, I see :3

Well, I got a new Oddish, Relatively Superior all around and a 31 IV in Special Attack. Also, It has a Timid nature which increases speed and decreases attack (the latter Oddish rarely uses so the nature doesn't hinder the Oddish).

Mmm. I say Bellossom. Pure grass is far better than Grass Poison IMO. No ground and psychic weakness.

Audino
Leavanny
Galvantula
Accelgor
Escavalier
Volcarona

The team I'm training now. I'm going to make another party after consiting of:

Galvantula
Wailord
Stoutland
Scrafty
Golurk
Zoroark
