As for underrated, I personally think Donphan, Tentacruel, Sableye, and Noivern are pretty underrated. Whimsicott is another one of my personal favorites, but typing makes me cry.. | ||

As far as underrated Pokes go, I love Alakazam and Starmie. I've got a soft spot for Gen 1, but those two have always been my favorite sweepers. | ||

Another random question for my Dragonite. I think the moveset I want to go is: Outrage Fly Thunderbolt/Dragon Dance Fire punch on this site it says that he can learn fire punch at level 1. Does this mean as soon as i go to the guy/lady who makes you remember moves i can learn it? http://pokemondb.net/pokedex/dragonite | ||

Does this mean as soon as i go to the guy/lady who makes you remember moves i can learn it? http://pokemondb.net/pokedex/dragonite Dragonite has Hurricane. Fly is pretty terrible. And a mixed set seems terrible. Most sets have Dragon Dance to make up for his terrible speed. Due to all the priority setup mons out there I pretty much think ExtremeSpeed is a must. I haven't been to Smogon in a while but something like: Outrage/Dragon Claw Earthquake/Fire Punch ExtremeSpeed Dragon Dance Lum Berry is pretty close to standard. One way of taking advantage of his Multiscale is to set up. Try looking up movesets as well. I've played for about 2 years now and I still pretty much stick to the recommended sets. After you've understood the game more, you can start swapping moves in. Blaziken's banned because of Speed Boost. After a Speed Boost or two and maybe a Swords Dance he becomes really hard to deal with with most regular Pokes not named Mega Pinsir or Talonflame. | ||

Extremespeed does not seem worth the hassle to me for what I plan to do. Was I right about fire punch, Is that how it works. Because I want to do this with Blazikin too for high jump kick. | ||

Thought your post implied that you were going to start. In any case do whatever you want. As I recall Dragonite learns Fire Punch by going back to the Move Reminder or whatever after he's evolved. I had one pre PokeBank so it doesn't have ExtremeSpeed. Do not like not having that  Tried Aegislash? It got banned to Ubers recently :o | ||

I think your team would have trouble getting through Gliscor, Landorus-Therian, Venusaur and probably Hippowdon as well. Perhaps something like Starmie, Greninja (with Extrasensory) or Latios/Latias could work out. Scizor and Tyranitar can be scary offensively, but I think defensive versions of those two are a better fit on your team Team's looking pretty good so far. It can be better definitely, but it's a good start. If you're raising all of these on cartridge, you'll atleast have a solid base to build a team around, in case you find that your team's not meshing well. For example, if you go offensive on Scizor, Blaziken, Dragonite and Tyranitar (Dragon Dance on the latter two), well you may find your team works very poorly together but hey, when you go on to make your next team, you have 4 very potent pokemon to build around. | ||

Tyranitar can run special moves (you'd just have to change your nature) but it's not exactly a special attacker. It's mainly physical with some special coverage. Dragonite can be special but the only decent special attacker IMO is rain abuser with Thunder and Hurricane and your team is not exactly a rain team.

I am but at the same time I am not. I am just learning, I have played most of the games but never really bred pokemon until now. I still dont know what EVs are. I just learned what natures are and how to tell what the best ones are for each pokemon/style. I don't really have access to any of the older games right now and I am avoiding some like greninja charizard venusaur because my wife plans on picking them for her team. But I have many of them in my poke bank for further down the road. I am also thinking of going umbreon for nostalgia puposes. He can be pretty tanky and annoying i hear with the right move sets. | ||

Digging through boxes in search of my half-forgotten Pokémon Ruby and Emerald cartridges? Check. Going through the tedious and stupid minigames (+"glitches") required to send Pokémon from Gen III to Gen VI? Check. The best part is that I feel like the time was well spent. Damn nostalgia. Also, if anyone still plays and wants to do stuff (I have perfect torchics and shinies and whatnot), my friend code is 2294 4354 0127 Added you. I am 0559-6814-1430 Edit: I also added Seraph and Onekobold. | ||

I think i ran Multiscale/Weakness Policy Immediatly dragon dance(if they switch or whatever its cool, if not you can activate WP + Dragon dance and seriously wreck kids.) Dragon Claw/Thunder Punch/Extreme Speed/DD Also, I'd throw Protean Greninja in there, he's really a staple on ALL of my teams, just because of Protean | ||

Seen that quite a bit too. I think EQ/Fire Punch was for Aegislash (and Ferrothorn/Scizor I guess) pre Aegi ban (haven't been to Smogon after that, so I'm not really up to date with those happenings). Not sure about this, but I think Azumarill can take a Thunderpunch fairly well, and maybe Togekiss isn't that big of a threat in OU? Anyway, the person I was replying to apparently isn't really planning on going competitive, just toying with the idea of it or something. In which case Greninja isn't as good I think? I doubt it'd be able to 1 shot that many things in the Maison. It can't really take hits, like good ol Alakazam. I've been using Talonflame/Aegislash on most of mine. It's nice to be able to fall back on a safe cleaner. Will be more active again when ORAS hits and the meta changes again. | ||
