Pokemon dreamteam challenge

jmoul, on the last part of your analysis, that is definitely not what would happen. typhlosion is slower than dactyl, so he'd one shot typhlo with stone edge. Then he would proceed to 1-2 shot your alakazam with stone edge, unless dactyl has lost enough HP so that alakazam can one shot with psychic. His aerodactyl is a very good trump card in this match.

I agree that its unrealistic and kinda stupid to think that he'll be able to predict which pokemon you'll use at the start and throughout. Also he doesn't seem to think that you'll ever switch pokemon when faced with a type advantage.

Also why would you use Blastoise instead of Aerodactyl who's faster than Lapras and Blastoise and can probably one-shot it with stone edge? And why the **** would you send out Poliwrath against Electabuzz? Thats just asking to get owned. Instead of, again, Aerodactyl who can outspeed and take Electabuzz down with an Earthquake.

XSUPREMEXSKILLZ is right, datyl can take out most of the team by itself and is faster than all of them so it probably can.

I wouldn't go as far as that, however it could prolly take out 2-3 of j's pokemon. Umbreon and Lapras could probably both take Aerodactyl, as both are extremely bulky, and Lapras can one-shot dactyl after taking an almost-lethal stone edge

Edit: I just noticed the only extremely potent offensive move Umbreon has is psychic, which does regular damage and doesn't even have stab. So unless that umbreon has maxed special attack, he'll die by aerodactyl's hand. Also, Marowak could possibly swords dance/rock slide one-shot aerodactyl, depending on the former's defense/attack and the latter's defense/attack

Just looked up aerodactyl's bst. He has sorely lacking defensive stats, so even maxxed it may not survive marowak's sword dance rock slide.

But it has a good chance against Marowak since it has ice fang, which Marowak's weak to. So really it has a chance against Typhlosion, Electabuzz, Marrowak, Umbreon and Lapras.

So....I take it having a team of Tyranitars with different movesets is a bad idea. Sorry but I haven't played a Pokémon game since Gen II.

Meh, if Marowak has maxxed defense he can tank 2 hits, especially since ice fang is non-stab. It may have a chance against Lapras, but again that would be decided if Lapras can tank a stab stone edge, where Aerodactyl would be inevitably one-shotted.

Tyranitar is a bulk monster, and has insane attack power. A whole team might beat a team like j's, but against uber-tier teams (containing kyogre/palkia and such) that kind of team would get slaughtered.

I meant I was responding to what he gave in the order that he listed them. I have no delusions that I would be able to predict it, and I just made it simple for myself and ignored the shifting-out option for this post.

Umbreon has maxed Sp. Atk and Sp. Def., and Marowak has maxed Attack and Defense. Lapras has never taken a Stone-Edge (since he was from Crystal), but he has taken a Zap Cannon from a Zapdos in a link battle with one of my friends (Zapdos was level 95, not sure about his stats), and he survived, but barely (like with 5 HP left), and ended up winning with an Ice Beam on that turn.

Stone edge wins if his aerodactyl has maxxed atk. Spec def. is irrelevant as aerodactyl uses physical attack. In that case, Marowak can take dactyl

Edit: what level is marowak?

I realize, I'm just going with what I was given, and I wasn't in the mood to make it where you were as unpredictable in your order as I normally am. I'm just giving my own analysis on what you gave me.

I do give you props for that team, it is really strong, and the movesets are planned out to prevent vulnerability to any one type. I will say, in a real battle, depending on your team's levels, I would get a serious run for my money.

I said in the OP, my entire team is at 100

it's impossible to predict the actual outcome of a battle. Lemme formulate a new team right now...

Agreed, too many factors go into an actual battle. I'm just analyzing based on what we can determine.

Also, so long as Cross Chop doesn't OHKO each Tyranitar (leaving a sixth for Lapras to Surf away) then a team of those massive, dark-rock monsters, with different movesets each, would be formidable indeed. Just be wary that the opposing team doesn't have a fighting, water, grass, or ground type.

All are level 100:

Rampardos: max attack (398)
Zen headbutt
Swords Dance
Earthquake
Stone Edge

dragonite: Max attack (376)
Fly
Earthquake
bulk up
outrage

Electivire: Max attack (323)/Speed (287)
thunderbolt
substitute
earthquake
thunder wave

Gengar: Max spec. attack (331)/Max speed (310)
hypnosis
shadow ball
dream eater
nightmare

Registeel: Max defense (401)
Explosion
Iron Head
Amnesia
Stealth Rock

Volcarona: Max spec. Attack (314)
Hurricane
Quiver Dance
Fiery Dance
Bug Buzz

Who do you lead with in this team?
