Prehax Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 No s.d on exca? No life orb on talonflame? other than that, I like this team ;) ♦ Spawn-Changelog ♦ | ♦ Pokémon Spawn related - Suggestions | Feedback | Requests ♦ ♦ Paradox Guild ♦ random number generation An acronym for "random number generator" or "random number generation", it refers to the process by which computers generate apparently random numbers, essentially the computer equivalent of 'chance'.

Xblazz10 Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 Exca life orb - Earthquake/Iron head/Rapid spin/Swords dance or Eq/Iron head/Sd/Rock slide Talonflame life orb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tr3y Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 I'd probably use Leftovers instead of Lum Berry on Excadrill since you're relying on it for spin support. Life Orb on Clefable is only good on Modest 3 attack sets. Always use Leftovers when using Thunder Wave Calm Mind. I also always prefer Acrobatics on Talonflame if you're running it on a sand team. The combination of Brave Bird recoil and Sand Stream damage racks up and limits Talonflame's opportunity to sweep. I also recommend you remove Stealth Rock on Celebi and put it on Tyranitar. Thunder Wave is also not needed as it is on Clefable. And Clefable typically stays alive for the whole game so it will have plenty of opportunity to Thunder Wave the opposing team rendering it useless on Celebi. I recommend Leech Seed as it allows you to outstall pokemon such as Blissey if it comes down to it. Psychic can also be used seeing that Breloom pretty much blows through your team once Talonflame is dead (which most likely will happen if you keep Brave Bird on the set). You should also check the Hidden Power on that Celebi. If you're lucky you have HP Fire. I also think Dark Pulse is a bit better on Tyranitar as well in the current metagame because it'll allow you to still beat Slowbro and Defensive Starmie even through Scald Burns. The other pokemon that Crunch handles well is Gengar but Dark Pulse OHKOs that as well. Careful SD Gliscor also can sweep this team after a boost so you may want to consider Ice Coverage on a pokemon other than Tyranitar. After all of those changes the team is solid to me. ^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Idkup Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 Despite the above comments, don't Life Orb Talonflame. Sharp Beak is better, Life Orb = you kill yourself too fast, and you only really need the boost to Brave Bird anyways, whenever you're using Flare Blitz it's probably going to be an OHKO regardless. Thanks to MadFrost for the signature! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Imrig Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 Try the shell bell on talonflame, it's very useful :y: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest lampshadejaz Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 344030 Taunt How do you like Taunt on Jellicent? That seems odd to me. Although I'm not familiar with that poke's available moves. I've been running Rapid spin over SD on my Excadrill as well and I'm happy. It depends on your teams style though. On my team, i rarely have a good opportunity to SD with Excadrill the way I play. A couple weeks ago, there were a butt ton of Sticky Webs on ladder and it was killing me not having a rapid spinner. So removing SD was a good option for me. But lately, i haven't seen a single Stickey Web so I could add SD back. But again, the way I play it, my Excadrill doesn't have time to SD ever. Your team looks pretty balanced. But why fire blast over flamethrower? Don't you want that 100% accuracy? What does fire blast 1HKO that flamethrower doesn't?
