That's a bit harsh, don't you think, Pink?

[Sir Punicpunch 1,688]

Please, explain.

It just makes sense!

 

Most verbs are talents, walking is a god damned talent.

[Haven Celestii 9,385]

Idk if you're trying to go for a competitive set or naw, but I'll go into points based off of that.
 

I've got Richard, the Hydreigon!
 
He's got:

• Crunch
• Dragon Pulse
• Body Slam
• Outrage

His ability is levitate.

 

 iirc, Smogon runs Hydreigon as full SP.Att, so the physical ones are kinda pointless.
Also, you have no real coverage. Two dragon moves makes you walled by Fairies by halfk 100%, Dark is also resisted by them and you have Crunch at that, and Body Slam is pretty shit especially since its not stab.
I don't know if there is a mixed attacker way of running it, it's possible for campaign easily, but compet battling it'll have some troubles here and there.
 

ArchDaoman, the Umbreon!

• Heal Bell
• Moonlight
• Confuse Ray
• Faint Attack

Ability: Synchronize

 

 Heal Bell isnt bad for team support, Moonlight is also not bad, but I think Wish is run more since it can be passed on (Ps, Umbreon is more tank than anything anyhow, so it works). Confuse Ray isn't bad for status, but I'd rather Toxic personally, especially for what it looks like your set is going for.
Faint Attack is also not bad for some chip damage.

AQUAHIT, the Sharpedo!

• Crunch
• Surf
• Earthquake
• Skull Bash

Ability: Rough Skin

 

 Sharpedo does better with physical attacks, so Waterfall would be better over Surf. Earthquake isn't bad, but idk how often its actually on it. Just being 100 attack isnt all that should be considered to use it.
Also, if you plan to mega it, then you'd very much do better with biting moves. Strong Jaw does good work with those and allows for some nice coverage like Ice Fang. Also, Protect is like, the key move of mega's (except for Mega Kang due to Fake Out) so that they can get their stats and not get hit in that turn.

Skullbash is pure shit. Nuff said.
 

EvilPin, the Cacturne!

• Dark Pulse
• Focus Blast
• Leech Seed
• Energy Ball

Ability: Sand Veil

 

 Iirc, Cacturne can do Sp.A or Att as you please, so you're not far off with what you have. Sandstorm would help with his ability, otherwise, its useless 100% (minus the times where some foe uses it).
Leech Seed isnt bad, but I don't think Cacturne would really benefit from it with how squishy it can be. You've moderate coverage on it, but I do believe Focus Blast is being a bit redundant as Steel doesn't resist dark anymore and the only real thing it's gonna hit hard that you already cant is like, Ice types. It's acc is also too shit to really justify here since again, you have no super need for it.
I don't know what else it could run, tbh.
 

PITFIRE, the Houndoom!

• Solar Beam
• Dark Pulse
• Flamethrower
• Nasty Plot

Ability: Early Bird

 

 Houndoom also has a Mega, just saying. Not sure which you'd prefer to have, but yeah.
Solar Beam doesn't need to be on there unless you're running Sunny Day somewhere. It's coverage to water types will not be of any use if you're getting 1-2 shot by them before it can actually go off.
Everything else looks pretty good. I know Heat Wave is run on it for the multihit purposes for double battles, but I personally prefer Flamethrower as well.
And of course, Protect just if you want to do mega. Unless you want to feel ballsy.
 

EVIL, the Honchkrow!

• Psychic
• Heat Wave
• Night Slash
• Fly

Ability: Super Luck

 

Just saiyan, but Murkcrow with prankster and I think Eviolite does fucking work.

Regardless, apparently Honchcrow is better with Att over Sp. Att, so you'd do good to lose the Psychic and Heat Wave. (Those 20 points is kinda important. It's not impossible to do Sp. Att, but yeah. Especially since it gets Nasty Plot.)
However, I don't actually run one myself and don't know how Smogon likes to, but from what i'm looking at on Serebii, is that is has a better Sp. Att move pool to use? Physical ones are kinda limited to like, Dark and Flying types, so no real coverage. Superpower is a decent coverage of Fighting, but it comes with the stat drop. So, maybe it is better to stick with Sp. Att over it?


There, i'm done Pokenerding out I think.
Also, if this is campaign only, then you'll have about 0 problems cause literally anything can work in campaign. xD

Being able to create art is a skill. The act of creating art, writing, sculpting, singing, dancing, storytelling, even thinking and imagining, those are skills.

Thank you, Haven.   That's exactly the kind of feedback I was looking for. I'll look over everything you said.

[Ganaram Inukshuk 3,682]

Wanna know the problem? There are too many words in English that mean the same thing.

[Snow Frostflame 3,568]

it's simple. We kill the stormgiggle.

 

 

problem solved.

not smart.... more people are loyal to Stormgiggle.... plus death is not the end for Stormgiggle

[Haven Celestii 9,385]

I never played X and Y. The last pokemon game I played was Black 2.

Mega's are shit and I hate them and what they do to battling.

 

Oh and picking Pokemon that work best is what a team is basically

Not exactly.

 

I have a bunch of "teams", but I choose pokemon that I like rather than what works best here.

 

Power trick, among other things.

Isn't it like, Power Trick and Gyro Ball since its so slow?

Or does it take buffs and shit as well?

 

Arting is a skill.

 

Art itself is not.

Holy shit, someone else gets it.

 

Metronome is best move.

Metronome is literal shit. lmao

 

It's ok for shenanigans, but that's it.

Yeah, you need stuff like helping hand to get that high as well.

That is correct.

Two dragon moves makes you walled by Fairies by halfk 100%

Fairies? What on earth are you talking about? 

[Snow Frostflame 3,568]

no... excluding last week I haven't seen him dead in.... actually I don't think I have ever seen him dead until last week

[Hidey 2,836]

well, he dies like, every other day.

[Haven Celestii 9,385]

Fairies? What on earth are you talking about? 

Fairy types are super effective to Dragons and they resist their damage by 100%. They're also weak to Poison and Steel types, but resist Dark and Fighting. Fire resists Fairy moves by half for whatever reason.

 

X/Y released them to try and bring Dragons out of their high perch, but they kinda put another monster there by doing so.

I agree. What moves do you recommend to replace the old ones?

Confuse Ray isn't bad for status, but I'd rather Toxic personally, especially for what it looks like your set is going for. Faint Attack is also not bad for some chip damage.

Toxic is a lot better, now that I think about it. However, I am greatly amused by the idea of Pokemon hitting themselves in the face, so I think I'll keep confuse.

Waterfall? I need surf to get around the map...

 

I suppose you say skull bash is bad because it's a two turn move, right? I've never heard of strong jaw, it must be one of the newer ones, so it doesn't exist yet for me... What would you have me replace it with?

 

 

 

 Iirc, Cacturne can do Sp.A or Att as you please, so you're not far off with what you have.

Hmm... I usually also give it a leftovers and then leach seed several other pokemon so it'll have ridiculous regen.  

 

I never liked focus blast, it always seems to miss when I need it most.

 

 

 

 Houndoom also has a Mega, just saying. Not sure which you'd prefer to have, but yeah. Solar Beam doesn't need to be on there unless you're running Sunny Day somewhere.

Solar beam has come in handy many a time. Still... what would you have me replace it with?

Actually, my Honchcrow seems to have a higher sp. att. then it does att. 

Fairy types are super effective to Dragons and they resist their damage by 100%. They're also weak to Poison and Steel types, but resist Dark and Fighting. Fire resists Fairy moves by half for whatever reason.

Fairy resists dragon 100%!? 

 

Since I'm an all dark type kind of guy, it seems fairy types are going to be really problematic...
