I just love Sinnoh.


As do I. My Golurk in Black1 handled a lot of my battles once a got him from the Dragonspiral Tower as Golett. My highest leveled mons in X are all either Sweepers or Tanks.

And Probopass is doing quite well in my Black 2 play through. Then again I'm only at Reversal Mountain or wherever you run though a cave looking for Heatran.

I hadn't actually noticed that connection until you pointed it out to me
If you wanna run Gen 4 evo, though, definitely invest in a Gliscor, preferably with Poison Heal. It's a great tank that boasts 2 immunities and is relatively quick (If a little annoying to get a hold of...)

The other is that Malamar is as slow as hell, meaning that you'll have to bank on Contrary+Superpower's defense boost will do it well.

Okay, lets bench Probopass (I still want to make a team I can use him on) and run that Gliscor with Smogon's Defensive set in Overused Tier, which I don't care about anyway because tiers only matter to me for picking movesets that sound good, and I'll break code and toss in a Cloyster for Water support and Skill Link pwnage.

"I don't care about tiers. So let me start to tier whore" Is what it sounded like you just said

As in I just look for movesets that sound good and Tiers are usually an afterthought!
I mix-and-match not only tiers (like 2 Rarelyused, an Overused, a Little Cup and 2 Ubers and going after Neverused Teir) but Gen Metagames. My Magiranger Vaporeon will either be set up the Sinnoh metagame or just mixing up EV spreads and movesets based on whatever sounds the most powerful.

Surf, Toxic, Ice Beam and Hidden Power Fire sound promising.


Plus I'm too lazy to think about EV spreads or movepools on my own with out going "Flamethrower, Overheat, Fire Blast, Inferno Full Offensive like an eight year old playing for the first time."

One of my team members are ready. I just need to evolve one more and breed/train/evolve a mega-evolution.

Oh? Who?

Anyway, I'm currently trying to work out my newest team. Anyone wanna have a test battle so I can see what strategies work and what don't?

Talonflame is finished, Still need to evolve Tyrunt but I'll do that tomorrow, and my Mega-Evolution will be Tyranitar. (Got a Larvitar off of wonder trade and breeding it with a jolly ditto.)

That sounds tough to beat, does Talonflame have Gale wings?

Anyway, working on my next Pokemon.
