First off, let me say this is the first time I have truely ventured into the world of RBY competetive battling. I didn't find that pokemon was on the internet until I started playing Gold... and then I just stuck with GSC ever since. I have a slight idea of what I'm doing.. but that's about it. I play GSC and it might show by the movesets I use.
Good to have you. It's nice to steal players away from GSC. I men.. yeah that is what i mean lol.
Right here is the team I'm training up in my restarted Blue version. This is about the first time I've played Blue in like 2 years...
Dodrio
- Drill Peck
- Body Slam
- Hyper Beam
- Reflect
I'm not sure exactly, but this seems pretty good. From what I do know, Sleepers are common starters... Drill Peck should take a nice chunk outta them if they don't switch. This team is weak on the defensive, so Reflect is nice. *shrug* You tell me.
Yeah that's actually the standard set for Dodrio. Though it is risky as a starter. It works to knock a chunk of HP off Grass type starters, but falling asleep or becoming paralysed is the worst thing that can happen to Dodrio.
If you battle online at Azure's PBS, i'd suggest Substitute over Reflect. Since Substitute is glitched it'll actually BLOCK Sleep and Paralysis attacks (i think.)
Exeggutor
- Sleep Powder
- Stun Spore
- Mega Drain
- Explosion
I'm iffy on Mega Drain... especially it being the only attack. =/ Here for the double powdering and Explosion in case I screw up.
Go for Psychic over Mega Drain. It's good occasionally, but doesn't really do justice for Exeggutor. Other than that, the moveset is fine. You might want to consider it as a starter, if not it being predictable.
Wigglytuff
- Thunder Wave
- Double-Edge
- Hyper Beam
- Fire Blast
Paralysis support and all out killing. ;P
Yup that's looking ok. Blizzard might be better over Fire Blast. Fire attacks tend not to be necessary and unlike GSC Blizzard is more accurate
Alakazam
- Psychic
- Reflect
- Seismic Toss
- Recover
A pretty solid set in GSC... not a standard there, but exceptable. Thunder Wave is always an option, but I have plenty of paralysis floating around on this team.
It's always worth having extra paralysis but it's a good set all the same
Starmie
- Thunder Wave
- Confuse Ray
- Surf
- Recover
Death Star. Known all over GSC.
Tis. If your battling online, some people don't like GSC Tradebacks, in which case use Blizzard over Confuse Ray. And possibly TBolt over Surf
Snorlax
- Amnesia
- Ice Beam
- Thunderbolt
- Rest
Takes the paralysis and hopefully sweeps.
For a sweeper, give it Hyper Beam over Ice beam (assuming you've got other ice moves on your team. If not, put it over Bolt)
Well, it doesn't look that bad to me... but I'm no RBY battler. I'm thinking a ground might be useful... Rhydon or Golem, perhaps. I'd need to pull someone first, though, and I'm not sure who.
I'd put one over Dodrio from a quick look.
