hey ssj3trunks (or anyone else)im thinkin about training a tyranitar and replacing the rapidash with it good idea or will i be lacking that fire element

quote

Lapras relaxed nature level 60
sheer clod
hydro pump
surf
ice beam

Hmm... The nature isn't ideal to be honest. If you had Modest (+Sp.Atk, -Atk) then that would have been better suited. As for the moveset, Ice Beam and Surf I agree with as both give STAB... But, do you really need another Ice and Water move?
I'd personally replace one with Confuse Ray and the other with Thunderbolt/Psychic.

quote

dragonite level 60
modest nature
ice beam
dragon claw
slam
safeguard

Ah... A Special Sweeper Dragonite. The nature is perfect, and the only thing that doesn't make sense here is Slam. Replace that and Safeguard with two from Surf, Flamethrower and Thunderbolt.

quote

hypno level 60
quiet nature
psychic
future sight
headbutt
hypnosis

Hmm, Quiet (+Sp.Atk, -Speed) is fine I suppose, as Hypno doesn't need Speed really. Future Sight, Headbutt and Hypnosis (...50% accuracy isn't good man ) should be replaced with Rest (Hypno's Insomnia Ability means that it wakes up anyway) and two from Thunder Wave, Calm Mind, Toxic, Protect and possibly one of the elemental punches.

quote

blastoise level 61
careful nature
hydro cannon
earthquake
skull bash
surf

The nature isn't great... Modest (+Sp.Atk, -Atk), Bold (+Def, -Atk) or Calm (+Sp.Def, -Atk) would have worked well.
As a general rule, never have more than one Type attacking move in your moveset. Here, you have two Water moves, which is pointless actually.
Another general rule is to always aim for accuracy. Hydro Cannon, regardless of it's power, is unaccurate (at about 80% around) and makes you miss a turn.
Therefore, I suggest you get rid of pretty much everything instead of Surf, and teach it Counter, Mirror Coat and Protect. Basically, Blastoise makes a great Tank and it's high defences make it ideal for this role.

quote

zapdos level 61
relaxed nature
thunderbolt
drillpeck
fly
thundeer wave

The Nature is wrong; Zapdos' main strengths are it's Speed and Sp.Atk. Having a nature that lowers Speed? Not good. Modest (+Sp.Atk, -Atk) or Timid (+Speed, -Atk) would have been excellent.
As for the moveset... I know Zapdos doesn't learn many moves, but, again, having two Flying moves isn't how it's done. Replace both of them for Hidden Power [Grass/Water] and Protect.

quote

rapidash level 61
quirky nature
fireblast
flamethrower
bounce
stomp

Quirky isn't great... Modest (+Sp.Atk, -Atk) would have been better. As for the moveset, everything but Flamethrower should be changed. I'm going to agree with the Serebii moveset here an recommend that you use it as a Sunny Beamer, where your Pokemon uses Sunny Day and then you can attack with the effects of it.
I'm just going to state what Serebii says here, as I don't like Rapidash to be honest. The moveset should be;

-Sunny Day
-Flamethrower
-Solar Beam
-Hidden Power [Ice]

Overall, your team is messy, even with the good Pokemon you have. I give it a 5/10; I hope my improvements help you.

EDIT: As for Tyranitar, it is a great Pokemon and you'd do well to replace it with Rapidash. If you do, aim for the following;

Tyranitar@Leftovers
Adamant Nature (+Atk, -Sp.Atk)
-Earthquake
-Dragon Dance
-Rock Slide
-Brick Break/Aerial Ace

Dragon Dance is an Egg move. You'll have to refer to pages 18 and forwards for how to get it, as I've already gone through it in detail with Arcanine194. If you want IV and EV guidlines, then feel free to ask; I didn't see any of them in your posts, so I assume you don't want to consider them, which is your choice really.

Well beer_drunken_ninja I got my Blastoise to lv 100 it has a bold nature and also some good IVS Well here r the STATS AND MOVES:
HP 362
Attk 180
def 270
sp attk 201
sp def 274
spd 185
THE MOVES:
SURF
MIRROR COAT
COUNTER
PROTECT
I am still raising the rest of my team I wanted to ask that can I use kyogre as a special sweeper coz I hatched almost 250 eggs of omanyte only 7 out of them had modest natures and one had a hidden power that was special [FIRE] but its IVs stink man So I thought how abt KYogre it has a modest nature and good IVS too so can u give me the EV spread and the recommended moveset for Kyogre I just caught it it is at lv 70 still needs to be EV trained and can u tell me whats with this Shedinja's ability Wonder Guard and why doesnt it get more HP than 1 plz help

I can tell just by looking at that Blastoise that you haven't followed the EV Spread I showed you. To get 362 HP, a Blastoise must have 31 IVs and 252 EVs; the moveset I gave only required about 210. Can you tell me what moveset you followed?

As for using a Kyogre, that's fine. However, some people might consider such a powerful Legendary (known as Ubers on Netbattle) as "cheap". Regardless, I use Groudon, so who cares.

Kyogre@Leftovers
Modest Nature (+Sp.Atk, -Atk)
-Surf
-Ice Beam
-Thunderbolt
-Calm Mind

For the EV spread, you're going to have to tell me the IVs it has so I can calculate an ideal, unique one for your Kyogre.

Shedinja only has 1 HP and never any more. That's just how it was created; it can survive all attacks apart from those which are Super Effective to it's Bug/Ghost type. That means only attacks like Flamethrower or Crunch will beat it.
Don't consider using this in your team anyway...

Well First of all I followed all the EVs u suggested me
210 HP 120Def 130 Sp def 50Sp attk that exactly how I EV trained it OH NO wait I checked my register in which I keep my records Well it seems that I accidentally trained my Blastoise more in HP I gave it 252 in HP 120 in def and 130 in def So Is it bad Well as for Kyogres IVs here they r
HP 05
Att 14
def 17
sp attk 21
sp def 24
spd 18
AND DONT WORRY I WONT BE USING SHEDINJA
And one more thing cant I replace thunderbolt with Thunder it has 100 accuracy when it is raining what do u suggest
And I have also trained my Umbreon and Ninjask tey both rock

I had to ask something that how do u netbattle I have never tried it , Is it possible to net battle if u have Emerald version running on VBA plz tell what the hack is this netbattle

Hmm... That is not ideal, but still useable. All this means is that your Blastoise will not be able to hit with Surf as powerful as you wanted.
If you want, replace Surf with Toxic. If not, then keep Surf, but remember, use Kyogre before Blastoise, so that it's Ability makes Surf more powerful.
Anyway, let me take a look at your Blastoise's IVs:

HP: 31
Atk: 30
Def: 11
Sp.Atk: 26
Sp.Def: 25
Speed: 24

That's quite a good Blastoise. Shame about the low Defence, but the EV spread you used seemed to have even it out. Yup, it's worth using this Blastoise.

quote

Well as for Kyogres IVs here they r
HP 05
Att 14
def 17
sp attk 21
sp def 24
spd 18

Hmm... This isn't good, I'll be honest. A Kyogre with the following minimum IV boundary would have been nice:

HP: 20
Atk: N/A
Def: 20
Sp.Atk: 25
Sp.Def: 20
Speed: 25

Just looking at that, only Sp.Def meets it. If you can, get another Kyogre.

quote

And one more thing cant I replace thunderbolt with Thunder it has 100 accuracy when it is raining what do u suggest

As ever, a matter of preference. If you want more power, sure, go for Thunder. However, you have to consider that another Pokemon can come in and change the weather; be it a Groudon or Tyranitar with their Abilities, or a Pokemon that knows Sandstorm, Hail or Sunny Day. Then what can you do? If you think the chances of that happening are slim, teach it Thunder instead of Thunderbolt.

I had to ask something that how do u netbattle I have never tried it , Is it possible to net battle if u have Emerald version running on VBA plz tell what the hack is this netbattle

Pokemon Netbattle is a free online Pokemon battle simulator that runs on your PC and not on any conventional Nintendo console. You can battle players from across the world using this tool.
It is not an illegal program as no profit is being made by the creator, nor is it an emulator of any existing Pokemon games. It merely simulates the battles that go on.

I personally use it to tweak EVs, movesets and see how they fare against other trainers in advance of me actually trying them out on the GBA.

If you want to download it, ONLY download it from the creator's site:

http://tvsian.info/netbattle/download.htm

There are many fake versions going around, and seeing how I'm currently having an on-going problem with hackers, stick to what people have tried and recommend.

Netbattle is becoming less active these days. A lot of people anticipated this, with the release of Diamond/Pearl offering a better way to battle. Still, there are many people there and it is worth it if you got experience fighting other trainers than the same pals at school or the NPCs in the GBA titles.

quote beer_drunken_ninja

If you can, get another Kyogre.

Man we r talking abt a legendary here not even a fool will trade me one and I only have this pokemon so I guess this will have to do Man that really sucks

There are many other Rain-Dancing Pokemon that can be used as Special Sweepers (or not). For example, if you wanted to use Lapras, Starmie, Kingdra or Ludicolo (and what an HP recoverer Ludicolo is!), then that works great, as all benefit from it as well.

You can fight anyone on Netbattle, including me. If you're having problems downloading, try it again. I recently downloaded Netbattle to my new laptop and it worked fine.

Ludicolo@Leftovers
Bold Nature (+Def, -Atk)
Ability: Rain Dish
EVs: 252 HP/206 Sp.Def/52 Sp.Atk
-Surf
-Leech Seed
-Synthesis
-Rain Dance

That is an awesome wall. Some Sp.Atk is for Surf, and since that gets STAB and also the bonus from Rain Dance, then that'll be rather powerful. Remember to use Rain Dance first, and then do whatever you want.

sp def 25

...That's very good, yes. Defence and Speed are off a bit, but Sp.Def, Sp.Atk and HP are above the guidlines, so you might as well use this Kyogre now with the following setup:

Kyogre@Leftovers
Modest Nature (+Sp.Atk, -Atk)
EVs: 6 HP/252 Sp.Atk/252 Speed
-Calm Mind
-Surf
-Thunderbolt/Thunder
-Ice Beam

The standard EV spread I recommended works with those EVs as well.

400MB? The file is no way near that big. It's only 5.84MB, and it even says so on the site.

Hey can someone check out my Tyranitar:
Level:66
Nature:Lonely
Item:Leftovers
Moves:Earthquake
Thrash
Crunch
Rock SLide

-Leftovers is one of the better items to use, so that's good.
-Lonely (+Atk, -Def) is alright, but not ideal. Adamant (+Atk, -Sp.Atk) would've been better.
-Thrash isn't a good move, as your opponent can easily switch out to a Pokemon that's resistant to Normal types, like Gengar. Replace it with Dragon Dance via breeding.
-Crunch is a Special Attack; Tyranitar's peak offensive base stat is Attack. Therefore, replace that with something else, possibly Brick Break.

Not a bad Tyranitar, but not amazing either. 5/10.

Thanx.......Im thinking of trashing my hypno and getting a Heracross since i dont have bug/fighting and besides hypno takes care of poison and fighting but i got zapdos with drill peck and a Tyranitar/Blastoise with Earthquake, is it worth it? (getting a Heracross)

Heracross is worth it, definately.
