    I'd get rid of Groudon... you're team doesn't need an "uber"/ legendary/ whatever it's good enough as is, plus you really don't need the Sunny Day change nor Solar Beam on Sceptile.

    Milotic: Good.

    Blaziken: You only need one fire move on him. The following is the most useful...
    -Brick Break/ Sky Uppercut
    -Rock Slide/ Earthquake
    -Bulk Up
    -Overheat/ Flamethrower/ Blaze Kick

    Sceptile: Go with...
    -Leaf Blade
    -Dragon Claw
    -HP Fire
    -Crunch
    (Use -attack +special attack (or) +speed personality & put EVs totally into speed & special attack)

    Metagross: Agility over Light Screen is my suggestion, but the rest looks good.

    Alakazam: Perfect.
    (Same EV/ Personality suggestion as Sceptile.)

    Lanturn: Good, but maybe Confuse Ray over Thunder Wave. I prefer the standard Surf, Thunderbolt, Thunder Wave, Confuse Ray... but this could work well too.

    Hope this helps. Good luck!

    P.S. - Just be aware that you have a 3x Ground Weakness & no Ground immunity. You might want to replace one of these with a flying type or even bring Groudon back, but I think that would hurt your team setup more than it would help seeing as how Drought would work against 4 of your pokes in one way or another.

    I don't know the actual numbers to assure you have it... it's more trial & error with Hidden Power which can be very tedious. The following link explains it (http://www.psypoke.org/gsc/dvguide.php), you'll to do a lot of number crunching to see if your pokemon has the right IVs & it could take dozens of eggs before you're get one. I think it's worth it, though for Steel Types.

    Crunch is obtainable through breeding...
    I believe the fastest breeding chain is just to breed a Salamence with Crunch directly with Sceptile.

    (Someone please correct me if I'm wrong on this breeding chain)

    If you have a male Sceptile & no one to trade pokes with to get a female one then just use a different move. Although, without using a Hidden Power move I don't think there is another special attacking move that's worht using so you might want to add a support move or something in that case.

    I've made a lot of updates for these Pokemon and they could be quite powerful now just try them out. I like battling with a Metagross and the set with Agility is my set that works great in battle.

    Yay i recently got the pokevirus but i was looking away when the nurse explained it so does it make evolving quicker or make the pokemon more powerful
    and
    Why use agility because if Metagross uses it, it will use one turn any way and a higher speed only gives one more turn, if you understand that then uu are a genius

    Default Pokerus...

    Pokerus just gives you double EVs on your active Pokemon when you KO a wild Pokemon. Example you get 1 Speed EV off Zigzagoon but with Pokerus you'll get 2 Speed EVs so Pokerus is great.

    Agility is useful on Metagross because it has high enough defenses to withstand an attack while it uses Agility. After using Agility its speed doubles & it's now as fast as an Electrode. With its high attack & now very hard to beat speed it makes a virtually unstoppable sweeper if played correctly.

    It'll keep (hopefully) OHKOing the enemy's pokes with Meteor Mash/ Earthquake/ Shadow Ball before the enemy can even get a hit out on Metagross or haze/ psuedo-haze it away (Gengar & Crobat with Haze could present a problem if they have a Speed Boosting personality).

    So Agility can actually be a good way to keep Metagross alive longer. Also, this speed boost doesn't just last one turn it lasts until you switch or are hazed in some way. All stat raising moves work that way... they don't just last one turn. That's why they're so useful, they last until you pull the poke out.

    Does Sunny Day melt ice quicker? and any suggestions for items?

    Sunny Day stops any of the Pokemon battling being frozen while it's sunny.

    how do i get EQ on Blasiken, Sceptile, Metagross

  17. #17

    Default Earthquake..

    I know Blaziken and Metagross need the TM for Earthquake because I tried breeding it onto Blaziken but it didn't work and Metagross can't breed yet (No Ditto). Sceptile can learn the TM and maybe through breeding.

    Yep, all must get it through TMs.

    Default TMs...

    Earthquake is a one time TM so the only way to get many of them is to have Ruby and Sapphire like me and keep starting one of them over and over again to get many one time TMs you want.

    Yes, you can pass it onto all your Pokemon on your team you have on you. You need to have a battle and then the Pokemon you're carrying have a chance of catching it too. Store one Pokemon in a box with it so it will always be there for EV training you get double EVs with Pokerus.
