- 28 Jun 2013 21:52 #50850 Got bored, figured I'd post an actually viable team so people can steal it/rate it/whatever.


[center]
Starmie @ Sitrus Berry
252 Speed, 252 Sp. Atk, 4 HP
-Ice Beam
-Surf
-Thunderbolt
-Shadow Ball

Starmie makes an amazing antilead Pokemon. 90% of people who know anything about competitive Pokemon will lead with Dragonite in nature of that thing being totally unstoppable after it gets one Dragon Dance. I lead with Starmie simply because it beats nearly everything people lead with. Ice Beam slaughters Dragonite and Flygon, Shadow Ball kills Mew and Alakazam (but Ala outspeeds me and can potentially kill me if it carries Shadow Ball), Thunderbolt is for Gyarados, and Surf is a generally powerful STAB attack. I'll probably stick a Choice Specs on him when Choice items are fixed.


Dragonite @ Sitrus Berry
Adamant
252 Speed, 252 Attack, 4 HP
-Dragon Dance
-Dragon Claw
-Thunderpunch
-Earthquake

Remember when I said this thing becomes unstoppable after a Dragon Dance? I wasn't lying. After one Dragon Dance it outspeeds and 2HKOs everything currently in the game except Slowbro. Only Vaporeon and Lapras can hope to stop it, and both are hit hard by Thunderpunch (2HKO at +1, OHKO at +2 on offensive variants of Vaporeon). Slowbro shrugs off most of his attacks but can't do much other than try for a Scald burn. Dragon Claw is my STAB attack that decimates everything that doesn't resist it (which happens to only be Magneton), and Earthquake is for Magneton. I'd probably give him a Yache Berry when it's released, but by then I'm sure there will be enough new Pokemon to make this set obsolete anyways.


Chansey @ Sitrus Berry
Calm
252 Sp. Def, 252 HP, 4 Speed
-Softboiled
-Toxic
-Protect
-Refresh

Chansey is a great Special wall, especially being as none of the Special attackers currently in-game really threaten him much. Obviously Blissey would be better as a purely Special wall, but as of when I'm posting this Blissey hasn't been released. Softboiled for healing, Toxic+Protect to Toxic stall things, and Refresh is mostly filler, seeing as Seismic Toss Chansey likely will never be a possibility.


Slowbro @ Sitrus Berry
Bold
252 Defence, 252 HP, 4 Sp. Atk
-Calm Mind
-Slack Off
-Scald
-Psyshock

Slowbro is my physical wall, who doubles as a Calm Mind sweeper. He's got enough bulk to take a couple +1 hits from Dragonite, and can go for the burn with Scald. Psyshock is to stop Chansey from walling him (although I haven't tested whether it works correctly or not in Pixelmon yet), and Scald is STAB with a Burn chance. Slack Off for healing.


Dugtrio @ Sitrus Berry
Jolly
252 Speed, 252 Attack, 4 HP
-Earthquake
-Stone Edge
-Hone Claws
-Sucker Punch

Dugtrio is mostly filler, as an Electric immunity, but with a couple Hone Claws boosts he can actually get a kill every now and then. Earthquake + Stone Edge get perfect neutral coverage, with Sucker Punch to hit Mew, Gengar, Starmie, etc. I might change this to a Choice Band set once Choice items are fixed.


Gengar @ Sitrus Berry
Timid
252 Speed, 252 Sp. Atk, 4 HP
-Shadow Ball
-Focus Blast
-Thunderbolt
-Hypnosis

Gengar is a badass. How could I not use him? While he doesn't get that Ground immunity that he gets ingame yet, he's still amazingly fast and hits pretty hard. Hypnosis puts shit to sleep, after which I can kill it with his coverage moves. Shadow Ball gets STAB and perfect coverage alongside Focus Blast, while Thunderbolt OHKOs Gyarados and stuff.

So that's it. Not sure why I'm posting this here, maybe as a sort of reference for people with less experience who want to build a viable Pixelmon team without resorting to cheap bullshit like status spammers.[/center]

It's just another song
Just another opinion
Right or wrong[/center]

- 29 Jun 2013 02:07 #50939 That's incredibly thought out. I'm definetely rethinking using a Slowbro/Chansey, so thanks.
My team wouldn't differ much from your's, other than having these:


Magneton:
Modest,
Sitrus Berry

Thunder,
Flash Cannon,
Earthquake (Can't remember if it can learn this or not.. oh well.)
Thunder Wave

Magneton is a pretty good Special Attacker, and can tank quite a few attacks. Although it's weak to ground right now, It's pretty annoying if you don't have a fire or ground type. It's thunder is a beast due to modest and paralyzing people with thunder wave is a bonus. You get STAB with both Flash Cannon and Thunder, so that's even better.
