My pokemon Team

any suggestions to how i can improve it? feel free to critisize also
Alakazam
Garchomp
Gengar
Infernape
Luxray
(Blank)

 

Depends. If you're playing with Smogon rules, Garchomp is banned.

Also, it depends a lot upon the moves you've given them. Luxray is pretty mediocre in any case. You might want something like a Salamence, or a Scizor to take the Ice attacks that are going to be levelled at the land shark.

Your blank space should be something that is capable of taking a few hits, maybe dropping some Screens or entry hazards to discourage switching. Dual Screen Bronzong or Blissey are both good - the former can take physical hits better, but the latter can survive for far longer.

 

thanks for the tips, i dont really get why garchomp is so cheap and counts as a legendary, care to explain xD

 

Basically, it hits stupidly hard and stupidly fast - at near legendary levels. Smogon banned it from its competitive ladder for the sole reason that teams were being built around it to maximise its monstrous potential. It also has a very good movepool, and its ability, Sand Veil, means that in a Sandstorm (which were very common, thanks to Tyranitar) even Ice Beam could sometimes miss. Yache Berry removed its one major weakness, meaning it would be guaranteed to rip through at least one pokemon on your opponent's team - with no skill required.

As a result, team variety dropped even further, with teams sometimes packing two dedicated Garchomp counters.

tl;dr It unbalanced the meta.

 

pokemon genius :O

 

Hahaha, I wish. Just experience, brah.

 

New team edited some things out
Garchomp
Lucario
Blissey <what moves should i give him
Raichu
Gengar
(blank)
i took out alakazam cause gengar has psychic also and gengar pwns him XD

 

blissy is great if you know what your doing try this movepool its the classic

sismic toss
soft boiled (100% nessesary or fail)
thunder
reflect/hyper beam (i enjoy a good hyper beam in this slot but you may prefer something a little different but with stab it hits 225 power making it redonculus and blissy blissy can take the hit)

but what will you do against a good ground type??? i recamend a good ice type like abomasnow

raichu takes some very good planing to use well i'd have to see your moveset to help you

 

That moveset is shit.

- Seismic Toss
- Softboiled/Wish
- optional
- optional

The last two slots can be picked from Counter, Aromatherapy, Thunder Wave, Stealth Rock. If you run Wish, you'll want Protect.

Raichu is difficult to use, but it's viable.

Movesets would help immensely.

 

lol i dont know what movesets i should give him any ideas pokemon genius

 

He means to post your existing movesets, so he can comment/crit and modify as necessary.

 

I've never seen a blissy with Bind.. bine.. brine... whatever the one is where you deal 2X the damage received for two turns. Can she not learn or is it a bad move? You're only going to be taken out by more or less a porygon Z (without ban) in one hit, so it makes since to use.

 

improve by adding Hariyama


with move set:

Belly drum
bullet punch
arm trust
force palm

hold item leftovers

 

I need you guys to help me!

RECOMMEND!!! RECOMMEND!!!

 

Bide is the move. And Counter is superior, since Blissey is slow.

Also, the whole Porygon thing is only on the Special side. Most people will switch to a physical attacker and take the Bide time to set up on and destroy Blissey - most pokemon capable of using Close Combat will OHKO easily.

If you insist on using Raichu (still a bad idea IMO, you should get something Steel-type to soak up ice-type hits), there are only two remotely viable sets - a pure Special Attack set with Choice Specs, or a Nasty Plot set.

Nasty Plot
~ Nasty Plot
~ Thunderbolt
~ Hidden Power Ice
~ Encore / Grass Knot

Choice Specs
~ Thunderbolt
~ Hidden Power Ice
~ Grass Knot
~ Focus Blast

But yeah. You have a large Ice weakness, so you might want to reconsider Raichu.

 

maybe a miltoc cause thats super good dragon

and a spritomb bercause it is a psychic ghost so it has no real weakness but on the other hand the way to catch is rediculious

 

thats why i gots lucarioooo XD what should i consider for 6th choice i dont really need dragons
Edit: yeah you convinced me, im taking out raichu cause all he can do its use electric moves and gengar knows thunderbolt so, hes kinda pointless
now i have 2 more open spaces

 

Spiritomb is ghost / dark. If it were ghost psychic, it would take x4 damage against ghost attacks, and up to x5.5 damage coming from a Pokemon that is of the ghost type. Being ghost / dark, like you mentioned, there aren't any attack types that can deal x2 damage for being considered "super effective", but Spiritomb may be vulnerable with weak special defense. I've yet to get in to competitive Pokemon battling, so you should probably double check with a guide or someone who's very knowledgeable in the area (like Suiseiseki ;p).
