Steel is a bad attacking type. It has a max power of 150 and that's only if the thing its attacking has eight times its speed which is extremely rare. Once it ingrains it's setup fodder. It still has subpar attacking power even if you abuse gyro ball. Focus blast is going to hurt like a bitch after a cm. Forget it against any sort of team running a heatran | ||

The rest of your argument is kind of dumb anyway, you're not using Ferrothorn for attacking, you're using it for entry hazard+physical wall. And saying forget it against Heatran is like saying forget it against things that brutally counter it completely. Well I wonder why that would be. | ||

I still think that: Spikes/Stealth Rock Leech Seed Power Whip Gyro Ball with Leftovers would probably be its best set. | ||

Have 3 pokemon I had to breed, 5 boxes of level one drillburs, larvitars and solosis' I guess I'll have to do some...releasing... Haha, I was wondering why, when we were trading, the trade screen showed like 4 boxes full of green things 0.o I always love to show my friends, who think that an EV is a type of Pokemon, the two boxes full of Yamasks I caught to find one with a decent nature to breed over to Solosis. They think I'm nuts. | ||

And saying forget it against Heatran is like saying forget it against things that brutally counter it completely. Well I wonder why that would be. Ok wow its alot slower than I thought. I still have an issue with its total walling potential. Using ingrain will screw you, leftovers + leech only works if someone is dumb enough to keep their seeded pokemon in. This leaves a pokemon meant to wall without the ability to really heal damage. I'd rather use skarmory for walling+entry because of access to roost. I mentioned heatran because he's a fairly common lead. Yea it was dumb to mention a brutal counter I suppose but fire and fightingare soo damn common. I do see ferrotorn being awesome in ubers though. It seems tailor made for it. | ||

I was thinking Bug, but does anyone else have an suggestions (I want it to be do-able, at least moderately fun, not just pure-sweepers, but not too easy)? I'm also considering Fighting and Steel. | ||

Trade powerwhip for protect, you will be able to setup on any scarfed pokemon, not to mention giving leechseed and leftovers a free tick every other turn makes it a powerhouse | ||

Couple things: I dont have a ds, so I would need to get one. Is the 3ds going to be the new thing, or are they just gonna keep making 2d games and throw out occasional 3d ones? Also: Does the wifi thing let you trade and battle over the internet without a cable? Like would i be able to trade with fellow TLers? And: Which version to get, ie if point "also" is true, which version is rarer on tl. Ty~ | ||

I was thinking Bug, but does anyone else have an suggestions (I want it to be do-able, at least moderately fun, not just pure-sweepers, but not too easy)? I'm also considering Fighting and Steel. I'm doing it with bug. Quike Notes: - No access to surf - No access to fly Why I am enjoying it: - VERY hard... rock and fire type moves HUUUUUURT so you need to find pokes that can take some hits without dying (have to abuse typing) - You can get a lot of pokes relatively early. After 2nd gym you can get 2 bug pokes, after 3rd gym you can get 3 bug pokes, after 4th you can get 4 bug pokes, and after 5th you can get 5, after 6th you can get 6. The only type in this game that is faster is Steel or normal. Not to mention, you have a varied amount of pokes in bug type: - Scoliopede, leavanny = physical sweepers - galvultina, accelgor = special sweepers - Crustle, Escavalier = walls Then later in game: - Durrant = wall - Volcarrona = Special sweeper Then after E4 you get access to: - Butterfree - Speical sweeper - venomoth - special sweeper / toxic staller - pinsir - physical sweeper - pineco - physical wall / set up - heracross - physical sweeper Just a lot of potential with this type, I like it. | ||
