But if you wish then switch, the opponent's move could kill off who you're switching into.

something that can actually attack?Physical walls? Shuckle does the trick![]()
blissey's a special wall, not physicalPhysical Walls? Blissey and Wailord should do the trick. Tyranitar can also become one.
Oh, and Py, you missed my PalPad Code.
sooo.... steelix or aggron then
EDIT: also, question. If you breed two shinies together (or a shiny and a non-shiny), does that affect the offspring's chance of being shiny at all?
@Redscores: Well, you are forgetting EQ, but even then, Shuckle is just too pathetic to actually win in a fight that requires brute force. But when it comes to Toxic Stalling and setting up Stealth Rock (and even using Encore if you really want ;D), he's your man :3
As for Pyritie's party, I wouldn't reccomend forgetting Shuckle entirely, but you must consider what kind of physical wall you want. Like, do you want one that can cause damage, or just one that can Toxic Stall anyone? If you really want, you can Toxic stall with Aggron, but you must keep in mind that his Special Defense is his main downfall
However, he can also deal a shitload of damage given the right situation![]()
I was mostly going for this set: http://www.smogon.com/dp/pokemon/azelf (the first one)Now, for your team. It appears you have a lot of attackers, which is great. As for the Azelf being undecided, here's a list of things I notice:
1) It seems to beat Infernape in every aspect that makes Inernape desirable in a team.
2) It can learn Nasty Plot. This is good for implementing my Infernape Lead's strategy.
3) It only has one element (as opposed to Infernape's two being Fire/Fighting), meaning less STAB.
4) It doesn't learn any first priority moves. Even though you might argue that Azelf's speed is good enough to beat most anything that will counter it, pokemon such as Ninjask will outspeed you. They will X-Scissor you. But probably not until they get a few Speed Boosts first :3. Then there's the Choice Scarfers. Gotta watch out for those. My Choice Scarfed Gliscor could easily outspeed Azelf and destroy it using X-Scissor.
I'm not quite sure how to repond to that, but okay!And that's just at a glance. I've never actually used Azelf, but here's what I think.
It could use Nasty Plot with Focus Sash, and then exploit its great attacking stats with a combination of Psychic, Flamethrower/Fire Blast/Energy Ball, Explosion and Nasty Plot, or you could replace Explosion with another attack option, but that probably wouldn't be advised for one reason. Despite you outspeeding my Infernape, my Infernape would actually win that battle. Why? I would use Flamethrower. You would either use Nasty Plot (in which case your Focus Sash would not work anymore, anyway) or you would go straight for an attack as well, which would active Blaze, ensuring that you get left with 1% HP (due to Azelf's low defensive skills). Then I would be able to finish you off with Vacuum Wave
An alternative would be the Utility pokemon you so sorely need. Which is basically the smogon lead set. With a few tweaks it could be better, but anyway ;P
Can shuckle learn any of those?Now, for your Physical Wall. Why did I go through all that for a completely different Pokemon to what you were asking about? Well, it all depends on that Pokemon, really. Let's face it, you need another Utility Pokemon. Blissey is there to Toxic Stall and use Wish, Lanturn can use Heal Bell, but who would do anything like Stealth Rock, Spikes or even Toxic Spikes? Well, you could use Foretress for that as well as Rapid Spin, but that's about all Foretress is good for.
Plus metagross has psychic which > blazikenYou could use Shuckle as a mass Defensive wall and get off the SR, but I don't know if you can quite handle Metagross with Blaziken alone.
maybe :0Then there's options like Steelix and Golem, but I don't reccomend them because they are incredibly weak against Special attacks (meaning that mixed attackers would love your stallers). Same applies to Aggron. However, you might find Heatran to be, although a little lower in the Defensive skills, better suited to your needs? It can learn Stealth Rock, use Substitute if you really want, and it can also deal a good amount of damage with Fire Blast, Explosion, Earth Power, whatever.
yeah, got the giratina since it's the only way to get the origin forme in HG/SSI think the Lake Guardians are more of "Novelty" Pokemon although having decent stats. The Three Dragons are obviously better choices. And, if I'm not mistaken Py, you're playing HG/SS yes? Now that your Uni Friend lets you borrow his Arceus, you can go to Sinjoh and make any of Giratina, Dialga, or Plakia (JUST ONE OF THEM). Train Giratina to 50s or 60s, Profit!
well, is palkia physical or special? I'm assuming special so you'd do surf. Water pulse is pretty meh compared to surfAlso, can anyone help me? I'm going to give my Palkia a TM containing a Water-type Move. Which one should I choose? Water Pulse, Brine, Surf, or Waterfall?
everyone must now change their avatar to one of these: http://s536.photobucket.com/albums/ff326/_Absol_/pokepeople/
NO! WHY MUST HE MAKE GIRATINA A FEMALE?! NOOOOO!!!!everyone must now change their avatar to one of these: http://s536.photobucket.com/albums/ff326/_Absol_/pokepeople/
I joined the new invasion.
Its hard to choose for my favorites Arcanine - Aggron - Skarmory - Charizard - Gengar, but I liek dogz.
