About my new team

I want my new team to have very strong and cool pokemon. I have decided the first 2 pokemon:

Lucario
Nature: Timid
Item: Choice Specs
-Aura Sphere
-Dark Pulse
-Hidden Power [Ice]
-Psychic

Milotic
Nature: Bold
Item: Leftovers
-Surf
-Ice Beam
-Hidden Power [Electric]
-Recover

(maybe one of Eevee's evolutions)

I am just starting this, as you can see. I want your opinions about the other pokemon, the moves they should have, the items they should hold, even the Nature you think it's better for them or if they would look better in their shiny or non-shiny form.

I am waiting for your suggestions.

Lucario)
Item: Choice Specs.
Nature: Timid (+Spd -Atk) or Modest (+SAtk -Atk)
- Aura Sphere
- Dark Pulse
- Dragon Pulse/Hidden Power [Ice]
- Psychic/Vacuum Wave

Aura Sphere provides you a reliable STAB whilst Dark Pulse deals with Ghost and Psychic Types. Dragon Pulse or Hidden Power can be used to deal with the common Dragon types (with Hidden Power [Ice] having additional use to Flying types).

The final move-slot is somewhat of a 'usable filler' choice. Psychic can be used to eliminate Heracross as well as Poison types. Alternatively, Vacuum Wave can be used to pick off weakened pokemon that are faster (in the same manner as Extreme Speed and Bullet Punch)


Milotic)
Item: Leftovers
Nature: Bold (+Def -Atk)
- Surf
- Ice Beam
- Hypnosis/Mirror Coat/Light Screen/Toxic/Hidden Power [Electric]/Psych Up
- Recover

Surf provides you a strong STAB in single battles, but be aware that in doubles, you'll end up attacking your partner as well as your opponents so make sure the partner learns Protect. Ice Beam can eliminate, Ground, Grass and Dragon Types. Hypnosis may have lower accuracy but it hits often to be worth use and Milotic has the defences to miss with it. Missing once or twice tends to worth it for incapacitating your opponents. It has a couple of options, the most popular of which is Mirror Coat for surprise relations against Electric and Grass attacks (needs a fair amount of prediction to be successful however). Light Screen is a generally good move and can help out the rest of your team as well as. Hidden Power [Electric] and Toxic can help you beat the opposing Water types (and Hidden Power [Electric] can help verse Gyarados who would beat you otherwise) and Psych Up allows you to out-stall Calm Minders one on one (well, in reality it just becomes a "who will crit first?" war) and can give Curse-Lax some problems.

I prefer both of them Non-Shiny because they look better than the shinies.

I hope I helped you out.

Thank you very much Dialga for your help. Anyone else???

You could use a scarmory.

i suggest u add Rayquaza or Deoxys

Garchomp is a good pokemon to have since hes high in speed and strength... Gyarados is good for high str since he has ice/water/earth/dragon moves and the bonus of cutting attacks down of other pokemon.... It can act as an aggressive wall if you play around with him....

For one of you Eeveelutions, choose Umbreon.

Umbreon's Base Stats:
95-HP, 65-Atk, 110-Def, 60-SpAtk, 130-SpDef, 65-Spd.

Good Defence and Special Defence along with HP.
You can teach your Umbreon the following:

Umbreon)
Item: Leftovers
Nature: Imprish (+Def -SpAtk) or Careful (+SpDef -SpAtk)
-Faint Attack
-Toxic
-Confuse Ray
-Moonlight

Faint attack gives you a reliable Physical STAB.
Toxic can do a lot of damage since when your opponent is poisoned, it goes from 1/16 to 2/16 and rises until the opponent faints. Confuse Ray is a reliable Status which makes the opponent confused.

Moonlight can restore HP. There are other ways too:
1/4 HP in Rain Dance, Sandstorm or Hail.
2/3 HP in Sunny Day
1/2 HP otherwise

This is my opinion so you don't have to agree to this.

Making Umbreon a wall isn't a good idea... Blissy is a better wall anyway since its attack is high enough to counter while recovering its own hp... Anyway Ive never seen an umbreon wall before... its a bit slow and using confuse ray is risky... Did you ever tested the wall out?

Yes, I did test Umbreon as a wall and it defends well.

Thanks for reminding me y013icthes about Umbreon being slow and confuse ray being risky.

Well no disrespect but there are other better walls that have tons of hp... Can't count on confuse ray to always hit and wish he won't snap out of it, which poison and faint attack(low damage) to pick at him till he dies...

I'll rethink about this...

Thanks anyway y013itches!

Well if you want to try it out... You can always fight me...

ooo i want to hear about this.

0 info on it... but I did 1 hit KO an Umbreon with closecombat on my wifi...
