Rate My Party

[Rytex]

As you may know, I am a Dragon-type Trainer. But before you go off and start saying "Your party needs something to trump Ice," I have included such.

Pokemon - Moves

1. Dragonite - Thunder, DragonBreath, Fly, Draco Meteor
2. Garchomp - Dig, DragonBreath, Dragon Claw, Draco Meteor
3. Salamence - Flamethrower, Dragon Claw, Return, Draco Meteor
4. Flygon - Fly, Rock Tomb, Earthquake, Draco Meteor
5. Kingdra - Waterfall, Ice Beam, Toxic, Draco Meteor
6. Charizard - Metal Claw, Flamethrower, SolarBeam (yes, he can actually learn this), Sunny Day

Strategy: All Draco Meteors are Last-Resort techniques. I will not sacrifice Special Attack unless my need is dire (e.g. my pokemon is about to die). Charizard is my Wild Card. It can still learn Dragon attacks, but it serves as the trump to Ice and Rock (they're the only ones who can do 400% damage to any of my pokemon), since it knows no Dragon-type attacks, but if necessary, I will teach it Draco Meteor as well. Whenever a trainer sends out any pokemon with an element I have a trump to, I'll usually not switch until I've worn him down a ways. If it uses attacks that trump mine, I switch immediately to the trump over his. If my pokemon is about to faint, I use Draco Meteor, which does tremendous damage, but lowers Sp. Atk massively in return. Garchomp and Flygon aren't intended for stalling, but they can be used as such, with their Sandstorm-causing ability. Essentially, I did a small tournament with this party. I won (narrowly, due to one trainer in the first round whose entire purpose was sending out six Wobbufetts and having them all use Destiny Bond on my team members, but after him I had no difficulties), but I just wonder if you guys think it's a well-rounded party or not.

Dragon is weak to ice, right? if so, teach them more Fire moves to get Ice types before they get you.

Sadly, Charizard Can't learn Draco Meteor because it's not a Dragon Type. I'd teach Charizard Dragon claw instead because it's powerful anyway.

I wouldn't worry about Draco meteor because your Pokémon specialise in Attack rather than Sp. Attack ( unless your Pokémon have higher Sp.Attack than Attack) Overall it's not a bad team, There are some moves I'd change but it's your strategy. I wonder how your Pokémon would do against my Flygon and Haxorus? xD

make them hold the berries that weaken super-effective moves

Is this a team made for ingame playing against computers or it is a competitively(that's a hard word lolol)? Anyway, can you tell the evs spread?

Competitive team. Also, EVS Spread?

Also, Yea, I looked up Bulbapedia and no Draco MEteor. But then again, it is the Wild Card for use against Ice and Rock types.

Flygon and Haxorus aren't a problem. I just sent out Garchomp to counteract the sandstorm and Dragon-cise it to hell

 

[Shikenshu]

If you use it as a competitive team, you should learn about EVs, these will help you A LOT. Also, you should fnd a lead that can set up the screens (ligh screens, etc.) to protect you dragon in case you charizard cant do a thing. Also, a lot of pokemon can learn ice moves even if they don't have ice typing. Can you provide the ites of each poke please?

Oh really? You want to Battle them? I warn you they are pretty powerful.

Unfortunately, I can't. I'm only up to Gen IV, and I don't have a 3DS and can't play Gen V games. If I could, I would take that offer up.

 

[Vaati101]

I don't have a 3DS and can't play Gen V games.

Of course you can. Black and white is for DS not 3DS. But I understand that you don't want to rush out and get them.

Or you could battle with This

Also i'd love to battle you, me running hail and all *Evil Laugh* especially since charizard is like the only fire type that doesn't resist ice.

 

[Geaux Zelda]

if u only use pokemon that learn dragon moves, why not go with more useful pokemon like gyarados and sceptile

I've seen Charizard fall lower and lower on the totem pole of tiers. It doesn't seem like many use him. The big problem with him is the weakness to stealth rock which some other member on your team have as well. I like the Dragon team idea, but just from my experiences I've seen a lot of people shying away from Charizard. Some bulkier Steel types might give you some trouble, and the amount of dual Flying types may cause some trouble. Also, with Garchomp theres no point in having three Dragon typed attacking moves. I'd swap Dig with Earthquake, and DragonBreath with Swords Dance so he can get an attack boost. On Flygon I use U-Turn and it works out great for me. This might be something you want to consider. Additionally I'd give him a Choice Scarf or something so he can pack a punch and scout out your opponent with a U-Turn swap out.

 

[TheRealLink]

i like your style, even tho charizard obviously isnt dragon. i think you should have taken the stats of the pokemon into more consideration when choosing movesets

 

[MarkaenShoque92]

Wherever you see Dragonbreath, replace with Dragon Pulse. Simply stronger and still a special attack. Now that I think about it, you might want to give Garchomp Fire Blast instead of Dragonbreath to tackle threats such as Skarmory or Forretress. Thunderbolt instead of Thunder (I personally feel accuracy is better than power in this case). Stone Edge instead of Rock Tomb (same accuracy but twice the power), and get rid of Return in exchange for either Hydro Pump or Earthquake (takes down the common Heatran).
Do not rely on Charizard to take care of Rock and Ice types. First off, Solarbeam takes two turns to use (whether through the use of Sunny Day or just by attacking straight away), and if your opponent uses a Rock attack on the first turn, say good bye to Charizard. Metal Claw should not be used (and I wouldn't even recommend the stronger Steel Wing). Instead, use a fighting attack such as Brick Break because it covers more rock and ice types (particularly the ones with a second water type) and can harm normal types. In addition to the move issues, Charizards stats aren't as great as the others (and is pretty average compared to every other Pokemon in the game). Otherwise, you have some strong Pokemon, so that should help.
