Starmie with Ice Beam may take care of Salamence and Charizard... Miltank may aid your team before you can reach the frontier brain...
starmie with psychic? ice beam, thunderbolt?, and recover/confuse ray? and natuer?
Calm down!
Starmie
Modest@King's Rock
Natural Cure
252SAtk/Spd, 6 HP
- Ice Beam
- Surf
- Recover
- Thunderbolt/Psychic/Confuse Ray
This moveset is based on winning Tucker. Ice Beam KOs Salamence, Surf kills Charizard and Psychic may low Swampert's SDef (although is weaker than Surf...) or Confuse Ray, for blocking foe's attacks.
hmm. ill have to work on finding a modest. what lv to evolve staru?
After it learns recover. There's no sense in waiting more than this if you'll use this moveset.
okay. since they usually have it when caught, i will use the water stone immediately. but what about effort points?
I've already wrotten: 252 in SAtk and Spd, 6 in HP.
Don't waste a water stone in any Staryu you find; calculate it's IVs first. Don't use any Staryu with Atk or Spd's Ivs lower than 20.
Do you know the Everstone trick? If you equip a female/genderless pokémon with Everstone and breed it, you have 50% of chances of the eggs having the same nature as the pokémon with everstone (it doesn't work with a male).
And if you out a pokémon with synchronize at the top of your list, you may find many pokémon with the same nature of it.
i know that stuff. i did say i made a guide too.
okay. so that makes a starmie with 252 in SAtk and Spd, 6 in HP, - Ice Beam
- Surf
- Recover
- Thunderbolt/Psychic/Confuse Ray, Modest@King's Rock
Natural Cure, a miltank with 255 in hp, and im guessing a split that makes the defences around the same, - Heal Bell
- Milk Drink
- Seismic Toss
- Helping Hand/Body Slam, Jolly/Careful@Leftovers.
as for the last. you said a breloom with spore may be useful, but you also said a steel type. or was the steel type for the battle pike only?
if so, what stuff for breloom? spore, for sure, and what else? what item? and i imagine the eps to speed and attack or a defence.
if not, what pokemon should i use instead of breloom?
Just one more tip: when deciding the effort points you'll give to your pokémon, be sure that this number is multiple of four. Don't forget: four efforts are used for boosting your stats, if you give more or lass than this, they'll be useless, so don't put 255 efforts in any stat (3 effort points will be useless), put 252 instead, OK?
A steel pokémon is useful everywhere, but especially in battle pike (immune to poison and can easily beat Lucy's Seviper and Shuckle).
About Breloom, I have one and I know that the best moveset is:
Jolly
252 Atk/Spd, 6 HP
- Spore
- Leech Seed
- Focus Punch
- Substitute/Brick Break/Mach Punch
I don't know a good item for it, though. Maybe you should try a Focus Band. If you'll use this Breloom, you have to be patient, 'cause only Shroomish learns spore at lv. 54 (Breloom doesn't)
but you said to max out in miltanks hp for maximum milk drink. oh, did i say i caught a modest starmie and a jolly miltank? just today!!!
You're lucky. Did you calculate their IV? When I say "max the HP's efforts" I meant to put all the usable efforts there (252). You will need as much HP as possible for recovering your team outside the battle in battle pike or pyramid.
I forgot something: King's Rock would make only Starmie's Surf to flinch the foe. If you think it's useless, you may change King's Rock for another thing...
how can i get spore when i do lv. 50? on sapphire and LG i do open lv. ?
All you need to do is to breed a male and a female Shroomish that have spore. Then, all the "babies" will have Spore, too. (It takes a lot of work, believe me...)
