Just make sure you have a good phys wall and a special wall (aforementioned skarmory-blissey combo). Honestly though, if both of you aren't really that competitive then you can probably get away with using whatever you want.  But if you do eventually want to do competitive Pokemon. I can vouch that it is a very deep experience. The aforementioned Smogon is probably your best bet for standard movesets. | ||

. If you pick slowbro for the tank don't go kingler or a lightning type will screw up your day. ALSO don't forget the dragons, they are my favorite type of pokemon . | ||

Taught it something like flamethrower, earthquake, thunderpunch, and fire blast iirc. I'm pretty sure FEAR only emerged after focus sash was put into use, which was gen IV. | ||

![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/tUITA.png) He has: Manchamp (earthquake, crosschop, thunder punch ??) Lapras (surf, icebeam, bodyslam, 10kVolt) Maganium (solar beam, sunny day, morning sun, bodyslam) Epseon (psychic, shadowball, morning sun, ??) Arcanine (sunny day, fireblast, extremespeed, ??) Crobat (toxic, swagger, fly, ??) It was extremely hard to tank his manchamp... I had to use my eggexecutor to exclusively tank the manchamp, and try to wear it down with swith-in spikes... The game is extremely intense, mostly of a switching of arcanine vs suicune, and lapras(10kVolt) vs Forretress. to prevent my forretress from spiking up. I gave suicune a roar, but it does not work as well as I wanted, as the guy I have the most trouble tanking is manchamp, which I can't tank quite well with suicune yet. (I have no idea why he has so much dmg omg...) | ||

Also in Gen 2 the two types of attacks aren't split up yet. Which means all fire type attacks are strong when they come from a pokemon with high sp attack damage. A fire type with low spattack can't do much damage with fire type attacks. | ||

A fire type with low spattack can't do much damage with fire type attacks. You mean Gen 2 doesn't have the concept of "physical" moves running off of attack stat. Gen 2 had types of attack split up, but it was more dependent on the type of the move. (e.g. fire moves automaticallly run off of SAtk) And Machamp really is a bitch to tank. What with his high base atk and him gaining STAB on Cross Chop. I remember my adv resttalk machamp teams from my NetBattle days. People were always surprised how much of a dent it could put on their skarmories haha. I miss playing competitive Pokemon. | ||

Your Feraligator should be like 10-15 levels ahead of any trainer you encounter. Don't forget those flying pokes, cutting pokes, strength pokes, Feraligator should not have any of those HM moves on him, they just take up valuable real estate. The only HM Fera should probbaly have is Surf since it's so much better than the rest of the water attacks up until it gets Hydro Pump and even then, it's inferior to Surf (I'd keep Surf over Hydro). Give him different type attacks so he becomes effective against the most types of Pokes. ^^Best Strat in any Poke game. The reason for using Feraligator is because he is super affective against the most Gym Leaders in G/S/C versions. edit: Come to think of it, Water is always the strongest starter against all the leaders in all the games, it's not like they add new types ever game, right? This. I beat crystal many times using Feraligator like 80%+ of the time. If you level him up and teach him different moves, then he can easily take on a wide variety of opponents. | ||

I think he's talking about FEAR (f*cking evil annoying rodent) which has a focus sash, endeavor, and quick attack. Focus sash is an item guarantees that 1 hit point will remain if the Pokemon was supposed to be OHKO'd. Endeavor sets the opponent Pokemon's HP identical to that of the user. Quick attack... well, everyone knows what that does. That originated in DPPt (Diamond/Pearl/Plat), because that's when the Focus Sash was added into the game ._. | ||
