Swimmer's Stronghold (Water Gym)

By Cycotic
- 28 May 2016 16:59 #174458 Thanks Mr. M and Pokenerd with your help in this process. With your help, this is what I've got! Now, just as a heads up, I'm not the greatest with teams nor did I have the best skins for the NPCs in this gym.

Welcome to Swimmer's Stronghold; the Water Gym along with Kai, the Gym Leader!

Water Gym Screenshots:
Spoiler:
The challenge in getting up to the Gym Leader is completing a fairly easy parkour (with the use of using the waterfalls). You make your way to a platform with an elevator that transports you up to the fight.

just 2 things to ask tho. why guillotine and not swords dance? i figured at least then it would get more power that way. and also going to point out your starmie don't have anything written down for attacks yet :P

  • Corsola is clearly intended to be defensive, but has a large number of offensive moves. Instead of Power Gem and Brine, which will be hitting very little, consider some more supportive or defensive moves like Toxic, Recover, or even Rain Dance + Damp Rock.
  • Octillery is too slow to use Water Spout effectively, especially since there's no Trick Room on this team. Go with Hydro Pump instead if you want power. Also, Octillery has enough coverage that you shouldn't be doubling Water STABs; Fire Blast will suit it better than Scald. Quiet is unnecessary as Octillery is not using any physical attacks; Modest will give you some Speed back.
  • Quagsire doesn't need double Water STABs either. It would much prefer to have Recover instead of Waterfall.
  • Without knowing Starmie's moves, I can't tell what you're going for. However, Leftovers won't be too useful with the offensive EV spread. If you want an offensive Starmie, use Life Orb; if you want a defensive one, invest in HP instead of Special Attack.

- 28 May 2016 18:20 #174466 @Pokenerd - I was a little sidetracked in getting the download to link :P I'll fix that when I go back and fix up the moves where needed. Thanks for your comment!

@Some Body - Thanks for your feedback. I'll be sure to go back and touch up where necessary.


Edit: So I went back and fixed up the team on this post. Do I need to fix the team in the world download as well?

Dialogue for the gym leader and trainers is optional.
