FORUM TEAM!

I am making a team based around the main users of the forum.

BlackMamba is Arbok
Stormbreaker2312 is Kingler
Eeveeon is Arcanine
Darkiway is Snorlax
I am Togekiss
FallenRanger0 is LickyLicky

any move set ideas for anyone besides Kingler?

I made you a Snorlax because your icon was a Munchlax, but Snorlax is easier to work with! But unfortunately I only get a 2 hour delay, not completely out of school.

Hey what about me?

That is awesome, it is really cool that you are making a team like that. I wish I could have helped with the Kingler move set but if you have one already that is totally fine! Though I am curious to know what it is. I have a few recommended move sets that I could suggest unless the experts want to answer for their favourite Pokemon (like BlackMamba for Arbok, Eeveeon for Arcanine, etc.)

You can post a set for Kingler too if you want! I'd like any sets you wanna contribute! They're probably just as good or better than mine!

Well there are multiple options for Kingler, one of them is the focus sashed Kingler who has a set like this:

Crabhammer
Swords Dance
Protect
Flail

Another alternative (and my personal favourite) is the Endure/Salac berry Kingler:

Crabhammer
Swords Dance
Endure
Flail

Both movesets are similar but combined with items and EV's operate quite differently. I am sure there are still lots of other great Kingler sets out there.

My set is:

X-scissor
Crabhammer
Protect
Swords Dance

That is also a good move set because it gives you a counter against those annoying bulky grass types. Another move that is often recommended for Kingler is rock slide which helps prevent it from being totally walled by Pokemon like Shedinja. Lots of it is all preference though, I personally love sweeping with a high power flail after my Salac kicks in. The sad thing is that I thought I made an original moveset but as it turns out, the same one is on Smogon. It made me kind of mad because I never referenced Smogon for that set but everyone will think that I did.

I wont! I will actually use your salac set if thats ok!

Of course it is! That is why I posted it for suggestion. Go ahead and give it a try and see if it works for you, if not then you could use your other set. Everyone has different preferences but this is one that my Kingler will have when my second team is redone. One of my friends on youtube named Ketturuut has a video of him and I battling and his Kingler basically had this moveset and completely destroyed me with it.



Here is the video if you want to see this set in action!

Wow!

The teams are pretty cool guys BUT ARE THEY GOOD?

Depends how you mean good do you full out attack or tactically playing?

Actually I am surprised how this team ends up being fairly balanced aside from the two normal types. I think it will be a very good team, a few of the Pokemon have very versatile movepools which can come in handy.

Sweet idea. If you weren't doing this, I would . For Arbok, I would suggest making him a defensive wall. Intimidate for an ability and have Glare, Gunk Shot, Stockpile, and Earthquake.

snorlax can be both an offensive monster or a sp.def wall, depending how you do it. For the defensive sets I recommend sleep talking and curse, and it can learn stockpile.for the more offensive set, snorlax has access to outrage, crunch, earthquake, selfdestruct, body slam, return, and I think he has elemental punches as well as belly drum! I'd personnally do something like this: Ev train it in its defences/hp ( make it a tank) maybe some in attack, have it with a chesto berry, recycle, rest, belly drum, and an attacking move of your choice. Recycle combined with the chesto berry/rest combo could really make it an exceptional annoyer, provided he isnt killed quickly. The surprise lies with the move too, as i dont think its used too much.

Thanks for adding me, it wasn't a full on serious suggestion.

Would Mega Kick work as a move? or is Body Slam/Mega Punch a better option? With Mega Punch I sacrifice power for accuracy and for Body Slam I sacrifice Power for accuracy and Para Hax. Body slam actually sounds like the best choice. Oh, and would a lum berry work in place of chesto? (Item Clause) plus with recycle pesky Toxic is out of the picture.

Actually, its your call. Yeah, if you're already using a chesto berry then the lum berry is just fine. Choose your attack move based on the rest of your team. Recycle would really allowa you to survive much longer, but you can alway replace it with something else.

His final set is:

Body Slam
Recycle
Belly Drum
Rest

Lum Berry

He already had Lum Berry, Belly drum and Rest.
