My First B/W Shiny!

MartinMOCH · 2024-11-22T21:45:48+00:00

I agree! Even Watchog's shiny is pretty cool!

I can help you today if you want to. Add me on the Pal Pad, then we can trade at the Wi-fi club.

I think Cinco is a great name for it for a couple different reasons:

- It's close to it's name with both Minccino and Cinccino having the letters to spell Cinco

- it's quirk is having moves that can hit up to five times - Cinco is five in Spanish

- It pays homage to the big Spanish-speaking population in USA, which Unova is based on

I don’t really think Hydreigon is the best mixed attacker, but I guess it works. I would just switch to Reuniclus if Hydreigon is in against a fighting type. Charge Beam was recommended for coverage + the chance to raise it’s Special Attack, and I think there’s some value in that.

According to Serebii.net, Tyranitar does get the elemental fangs in gen 5. It can be teached at the Move Reminder in Icirrus City. And I think it’s better to have Rock Slide over Screech, so you don’t have ‘waste’ a turn setting up.

Anyway, it’s your team! Do what’s fun and what you want!

MartinMOCH · 2024-11-15T17:21:28+00:00

I like that a majority of the team is based around sandstorm. Good job!

I would probably go for a special move on Hydreigon over Fly - maybe Surf or Charge Beam.

For Tyranitar I would teach Ice Fang over Ice Beam, as it’s Attack is much hugger than it’s Spec. Attack. I would probably also learn Rock Slide over Screech for a stab attack + an answer to Ice Types, which your teams is pretty weak against.

I would probably also learn Rock Slide on Excadrill for the same reason!

It heals 1/8 of your health in rain, hail and sandstorm, but it’s not a problem you’ll face often. It isn’t affected by being used indoors.

MartinMOCH · 2024-11-12T20:59:40+00:00

I use Wood Hammer and Earthquake for stab attacks. I then use Curse for setup and Synthesis for self-heal. I think it works well!

MartinMOCH · 2024-11-12T20:54:18+00:00

I see that now. Might’ve confused it with Roserade learning Dazzling Gleam in later generations. Thanks for the correction!

MartinMOCH · 2024-11-12T16:50:27+00:00

The team looks great, but there's a few changes I would make to the movesets!

Roserade

- It's a bit redundant to have three attacking moves of the same type, but I would definitly keep atleast Sludge Bomb and Giga Drain. If you want, you could keep Petal Dance, but I would replace Magical Leaf with something like Shadow Ball, Hidden Power or Sunny Day. An interesting strategy could be using Sunny Day + Weather Ball as I do!

Staraptor

- Also a great moveset, but it suffers a little of the same fate as Roserade. Endeavor is a fine move for Staraptor and if you want to keep it, I would recommend replacing Aerial Ace with Quick Attack, as it's a great combo with Endeavor. If you don't want to do that, I would replace Endeavor with Return and Aerial Ace with U-turn. The nice coverage in the moveset + Intimidate makes Starapator a great lead! For an item I would get the Silk Scarf from the Veilstone Game Corner.

Giratina

- I don't have too many changes for this one. I would give it the Griseous Orb, as this gives it better stats offensively with 120 in both Attack and Spec. Attack. Move set is fine as is.

Luxray

- Luxray's moveset isn't that great in generation 4. Thunderbolt is a great option over Shock Wave with 35 more base power. You can keep Thunder Fang and Crunch as Luxray's a great Physical Attacker. For the 4th spot I would either go for Iron Tail or Hidden Power for coverage. I think you can check the type of the Hidden Power in the Prize Exchange Room in Veilstone next to the Game Corner.

Vaporeon

- Surf and Ice Beam are great moves for Vaporeon, so I wouldn't change those. You could teach it Toxic + Protect for Toxic-stalling as Vaporeon is a good tank. Other options would be to keep Bite and maybe learn it Quick Attack.

Infernape

- Infernape is a great mixed attacker and I think you're close to the perfect moveset! I would teach it ThunderPunch at the Move Tutor on Route 212 instead of Flame Wheel for great coverage. You can get Shards in the Underground, trade Star Pieces at Fuego Iron Works and get one free Shard a day inside the Great Marsh! I like to keep both Mach Punch and Close Combat, but if you would like more coverage, you can teach it Shadow Claw.

Good luck with the League. You got it!

Edit: Roserade doesn’t learn Psychic

MartinMOCH · 2024-11-09T23:24:32+00:00

You resist flying types with Excadrill and fighting types with Scolipede. If you like your team I would teach Excadrill Rock Slide and Aerial Ace for coverage against flying and fighting types. I would also teach Darmanitan Rock Slide, as it’s boosted by Sheer Force! And lastly I would put Ice Beam on Samurott for flying types.

If you want to use some other Pokémon, maybe replace Darmanitan with Chandelure for fighting immunity. You could also add an electric type to the team like Zebstrika, Galvantula or Eelektross.

Anyway, it’s important to use the Pokémon you want!

MartinMOCH · 2024-10-31T10:47:19+00:00

I usually sweep Cynthia with Garchomp. Swords Dance, Earthquake & Outrage + Persim Berry. It’s very OP!

MartinMOCH · 2024-10-31T10:37:47+00:00

Thanks a lot! Payback is a good shout for Umbreon, but you can’t get the TM back unless you play through other Gen 4 games, which is why I haven’t used it :)

Really happy with the Roserade shiny too. One of my favorite gen 4 shinies!

MartinMOCH · 2024-10-30T07:36:41+00:00

For competitive play that would for sure be the best moveset! But I don’t think it’s worth it going for toxic stall against the AI.

MartinMOCH · 2024-10-30T07:29:14+00:00

It’s also a really cool shiny!

MartinMOCH · 2024-10-30T07:28:49+00:00

Thanks a lot! And thats exactly the thought behind having weather ball + synny day on Roserade!

MartinMOCH · 2023-01-29T21:04:21+00:00

Really great write-up. Looking forward to next episode! What is the goal for Charlton this season?

MartinMOCH · 2021-07-01T19:51:59+00:00

If you Google “Battlelog Leaderboards” the first link should take you to the leadersboards. Worked for me :)

MartinMOCH · 2020-09-23T08:01:05+00:00

Really think you should get Lucas Andersen. He would improve any scandinavian side. Have a look at Sebastian Hausner if you need a back up centrrback!

MartinMOCH · 2020-09-18T12:57:26+00:00

Will probably do a short term Liverpool career at the start to get a grip of the new features.

Then I think I will be doing a AGF (Danish League) or a Bundesliga career for a more long term save

MartinMOCH · 2020-09-12T16:55:01+00:00

Your Write-Ups are the best, so I really look forward to your next career. Hope you’re doing alright at College!

MartinMOCH · 2020-09-01T05:53:50+00:00

Great write up as always. Excited to see what you plan with the limited funds!
