Honestly guys I really appreciate the fact that you parcipate that much but at the end it does not help me: what I'm supposed to understand about this scizor... I'm even more lost than the previous page.

The idea behind Gengar's Psychic was to deal with Fighting-type pokes since I do not have a Psychic poke. Same idea behind Chandelure's one :)

Thanks all for the feedback! Even if i'm not answering a lot, I'm reading all your comments and learning from it. I understand my flaws better. Time to work on it :)

Hey guys, started the game 2-3 weeks ago with friends and god we enjoy it! Since we finished the storyline of Kanto Hoenn & Unova, we're excited to build/play in PvP! Here is what I would like to play: https://www.poketools.fr/equipe/948720180406120233.html I'm well aware that it's in french therefore i'll just translate it below (linked it so you can get a quick idea of what I would like to play): Ferrothorn @ Rocky Helmet Ability: Iron Barbs Evs : 4 SpD / 252 HP / 252 Def Relaxed Nature -Stealth Rock -Thunder Wave -Power Whip -Gyro Ball Tyranitar @ Choice Band Ability: Sand Stream EVs: 4 Def / 252 HP / 252 Atk Jolly Nature - Earthquake - Crunch - Stone Edge - Superpower Excadrill @ Life Orb Ability: Sand Rush EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spe Adamant Nature - Swords Dance - Earthquake - Rock Slide - Iron Head Chandelure @ Choice Scarf Ability: Flash Fire EVs: 4 HP / 252 SpA / 252 Spe Modest Nature - Fire Blast - Shadow Ball - Psychic - Energy Ball Jellicent @ Leftovers Ability: Water Absorb EVs: 4 Def / 252 HP / 252 SpD Calm Nature - Scald - Recover - Will-O-Wisp - Hex Gengar @ Life Orb Ability: Levitate EVs: 4 HP / 252 SpA / 252 Spe Timid Nature - Shadow Ball - Focus Blast - Sludge Wave - Psychic So the main idea is to play around sandstorm and allow Excadrill to sweep! It somehow makes sense in my head: - 1 climat inducer & 1 climat abuser - 1 DEF tank - 1 DEFSPE tank - decent immunities (Normal-,Fighting-,Water-,Fire-,Ground-,Electrik-,Psychic-type) -2 ATK poke -2 ATKSPE poke -Some moves (Thunder Wave/Will-O-Wisp) to make Excadrill's life easier Here's my issues: - I find myself with 3 Specter-type (Gengar, Jellicent & Chandelure) - Fighting-type: Don't have one (chose to use Focus Blast on Gengar but might be tricky) and no counter (that's why I chose Psychic on Chandelure's & Gengar's moveset) - Dragon-type: I lack counters and I don't even have a Dragon-type myself (is it mandatory?) - Water-type: even if Jellicent is immune to it, I do not have any Electrik-type move - only Ferrothorn's Power Whip to hit super effectively (is it enough?) So that's what I can see when I look back on my team. I'm thinking about switching: - Chandelure -> Arcanine: still immune to Fire and I do get priority move that I lack so much (Extrem speed) & an Electrik-type move (Wild Charge). --> Issue: I might have too much ATK pokes and not enough ATKSPE - Gengar->Kingdra: I do get access to a Dragon-type poke, can still contest Grass-type (Ice beam I guess?) and might be able to deal with Rain team. --> Issue: I lose my only Ground-type immunity and I have a lot of Ground weaknesses... -Jellicent->Starmie: Psychic STAB! It would allow me to deal effectively with Fighting-type pokes while getting an offensive slot for Water-type at the same time. --> Issue: I lose Water-type immunity and my DEFSPE tank. --------- As you probably figured out, I'm just a casual poke player with little knowledge about PvP. Feel free to tell/suggest/explain me how do you see my team and what I should focus on to improve it overall! Thanks for reading :^)
