final fantasy team help

[ryandude713]

im gonna make a final fantasy team for both ru/sa and fr/lg, and need help. i dont want to base it on specific final fantasy characters, rather on job classes.
for example:

Blissey
White Mage
Softboiled
Heal Bell
Ice Beam
Thunderbolt

Kecleon
Thief
Return
Shadow Ball
Substitute
Focus Punch

please give me some ideas of pokes that could be used for this (and the job they correlate to), and ill post the final result when ive got my perfect team

[Crufidal]

Wow. This could be a very interesting theme team! You could try a lot of things, here.

Maybe as Thief, Kecleon could use the actual Thief attack? Or better, use Trick and give the opponent a Choiceband. Up to you really.

Anyways, you already have a White Mage, so I don't know if you'd want other kinds of mages... you could get a special sweeper and call it your black mage, unless you've got Blissey to cover that too.

You could have a Pokemon that knows Substitute... and that would be your summoner. Heheh.

As for warrior, dunno if you're looking for a real physical sweeper or one that actually resembles a warrior - Farfetch'd has a weapon! Metagross, Salamence, Flygon... warriors of the Pokemon world. Zangoose seems like it would fit well, perhaps?

I'll post later if I have more ideas! Right now I think I'll try and design a Viewtiful Joe team

[Poryhedron]

A Baton Pass Ninjask might make a good Bard. RPG Bards suck at fighting on their own, but they can enhance their teammates...

[ShockingAlberto]

Well, Ninjask with Fury Cutter could make a good Ninja.

Blackbelt is entirely up to you, so you have a lot of choice. Hariyama, Medicham, Machoke. Any of them will work. Just make sure you have a move that uses fists and hits more than once.

I like Vigoroth as a Beast Master. Seems to fit for some reason.

Wobbuffet as a Defender. Destiny Bond, Counter, Mirrorcoat and...something else...

Umbreon as Dark Knight and Espeon as Paladin.

Raichu as Engineer.

Bagon as a Dragoon. Bagon can't learn Hi-Jump in any way, can it?

[Sir Chris]

I demand heracross as fighter/monk.

[ShockingAlberto]

Mew as Red Mage!

-- ShockingAlberto

[Remy]

You need a cuddly little berzerker. I recommend Zangoose.


Oh, when and smeargle as a blue mage.

[Poryhedron]

The Dragoon's high-jump ability is best emulated by Fly or Bounce. You decide if it's worth it. Salamence, maybe, since it learns Fly naturally?

A more thiefy thief than Kecleon:

Sableye
Thief
Snatch/Skill Swap
Taunt
Shadow Ball (serious set)/Secret Power (theme set)

Actually, Secret Power could be used anyway, to keep them off guard as to what the heck Sableye is attacking them with (it may not be obvious). Very thiefy - low power attacks with useful effects.

I'd put Faint Attack ahead of Secret Power if you're going for sneaky attacks.

[ShockingAlberto]

We're missing a key element, though. Who would be a good archer?

I'm thinking Dodrio, but I can't for the life of me think why.

-- ShockingAlberto

[HienkyakuX]

Ninjas is like a Time mage there not a ninja but Crobat can be a ninja they use status adnormalitis like confuce,toxic,screech and jump but that will be fly.

[Poryhedron]

Archer...hits from the back row...Swift/Faint Attack/etc.?

[ShockingAlberto]

Well, an archer should only use non-contact moves, but they should have a normal one, an attack boosting move, and two elements.

Swift would be good.
Ice Beam could work.
Flamethrower if you can get it on the same Poke.
And...Bulk Up?

-- ShockingAlberto

[ryandude713]

After seeing the archer input, how about this?

Archer
Dodrio
Tri Attack
Fury Attack
Toxic
Hyper Beam

tri attack for the three elements. fury attack to represent multiple arrows. toxic for a poison arrow. hyper beam for a super arrow.

also, please rate my guys i posted earlier, cuz i need serious help with those.

[ryandude713]

BArd
Wigglytuff
Sing
Hyper Voice
Attract
Disable

all of the moves are supposed to represent songs.

Dark Knight
Absol
Swords Dance
Slash
Aerial Ace
Shadow Ball

no need to explain

Moogle 1
Chimecho
Heal Bell
Safeguard
Reflect
Light Screen

kinda looks like a moogle. moveset is all protection

Moogle 2
Clefable
Meteor Mash
Wish
Belly Drum
Shadow Ball

moogle the barbarian moveset

[andyizcool]

Chimecho
Heal Bell
Safeguard
Reflect
Light Screen

Can I just say that a Pokemon without at least one attack is bad because if this was the last Pokemon in battle it would stand no chance of winning. It has nothing to hurt the opponent not even Toxic. I think you should stick Psychic on there somewhere so it can at least do some damage if it needed to.

[rinku]

I'd put Faint Attack ahead of Secret Power if you're going for sneaky attacks.

-- ShockingAlberto

I avoided that because of already having Thief. Two Dark attacks leaves it more ineffective than it needs to be vs Dark, Fighting & Steel. HP <something useful> covers that, and also may not be obvious to the opponent what type it is being attacked with (which is sneaky in itself).

But all a matter of opinion.
