I hope you like these updates natures don't really matter but if you get one that gives you an advantage that will help.

OK, can someone recommend a 6th member for my team. The types I'm using on this team so far are: Water, Ground, Grass, Psychic, Electric, Steel and Fire so could someone suggest a 6th member for my team.

[MsgBoardHobo]

Gyarados would fit very nicely in to that team. You dont have any physical sweepers per se, just type counters, a very R/B/Y strategy, but still viable and dangerous if done right. A good PI sweeper would do wonders, back up Zam's antics.

Gyrados@Leftovers Adamant: Atk+ Sp.Atk-
Dragon Dance
Earthquake
Return
Hp Flying





:yes: :yes: :yes: :wave:

[Mitch's Bashamo]

I might end up picking Gyarados but could someone choose a Psychical Sweeper?. The choices are:

Gyarados
Adamant
Leftovers
Dragon Dance
Aerial Ace
Return
Earthquake

Absol
Adamant
Leftovers?
Swords Dance
Slash
Iron Tail (for Rock types)
Aerial Ace

Machamp
Adamant
???
Cross Chop
Earthquake
Bulk Up
Rock Tomb (I couldn't think of anything else)

So which one?

[andyizcool]

Machamp@Leftovers
Adamant
Rest
Cross Chop
Earthquake
Bulk Up

Oh this Machamp is really nice just try him out and see how you like him in battle he could really help you out when you're stuck.

Machamp is actually way more deadly as a choice bander... IMO.

[andyizcool]

If Machamp was a Choice Bander you would need Bulk Up and maybe Rest taking off him so he could do more deadly Phyical attacks instead.

He has a speed based team, hit first with type advantage. Get the Gyarados out first, Dragon Dance once or twice, sweep everything you can, then let his type matching team kill whatever is left.

Machamp is a sitting target for Zams, and he doesent really have any zam defense.

P.S. Gyarados cant learn Aerial Ace.

Uh.. that's the idea. More options and none of the stat upping mess. Constant hit and run style fighting is overall more useful.
