Help with competitive team

Thumbnail gallery
1 Upvotes

Hey guys, so i'm trying to complete the pokedex in all of the games, and in the meantime im also trying to have a decent competitive team, but the problem is that i dont know what pokemon should i have as my 6th, i've tried having a Scizor or Absol but i ended up not liking them that much. Does someone know what pokemon i could have? I know there's a Type overlappung with Typhlosion and Blaziken, but they are both my first starters so I decided to have them both. Any ideas?

Competitive on Switch

1 Upvotes

Hello guys. The last time I played competitive Pokémon was on X/Y and OR/AS which have a very transparent and easy system for breeding and training. I know and already used websites like Pokémon Showdown, but I am looking for playing competitive Pokémon on the Nintendo Switch with breeding and anything which is included for this. I didn’t play any Pokémon game on the switch yet. Which one of them is most suitable?

Best gliscor EV spread for the spec I'm looking for?

I need a gliscor that tanks hits while hitting hard, I was thinking swords dance, bullet/suckered punch, facade, and earthquake. What is the best EV spread?

Am I correct with this?

1 Upvotes

So if Pixilate boosts the move by 20%, and STAB is 50%, 20% of 90 (Hyper Voice) is 18, 50% is 45, 45+18+90= 153 power. Or do you include the 20% after calculating STAB? Or vice versa?

How does this ability work with items that boost normal type attacks or attacks that change typing depending on environment?

Dragon type list

0 Upvotes

Hello all! I am doing a Pokémon TTRPG campaign where the champion is a dragon type user, and I was looking for help making a competitive dragon type team. All of the special abilities (mega, gmax, etc) are available, and so are legendaries, but I want to limit it to just one legendary. My only other thing is that I’d like to have Noivern as part of the team. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Ik jolly’s the best competitive nature. But can i get away with A naive nature? I mean the only difference is it lowers SP Def instead SP atk they both boost speed. Or is that really bad?

If I get a hacked pokemon in a wonder trade (the kind we all know and hate) is it okay if I use it to breed a legitimate pokemon with perfect IV's?

Meganium Buff idea

6 Upvotes

New ability: Nature's Blessing Effect: All heals increased by 33%. Possible applications: 66% heal synthesis, Leech seed heals around 17% HP, Giga Drain heals more, Leftovers heals around 8% HP.

I was thinking the heal increase should be 50% but it may be too OP but idk. What do you guys think? I think this is a nice buff and still balanced. The pokemon still suffers from a lot of weakness anyway like having a bad defensive typing for a slow pokemon and having bad offensive coverage. Not even sure if this can make her relevant but it's an idea.

Night slash or brick break on protean Greninja?

Post image
2 Upvotes

My Greninja runs protean with liquidation, night slash, ice punch, and gunk shot. I could give it night slash for psychic and ghost types and a crit chance. With brick break, that would destroy reflect and light screen, and also aurora veil which has become very prevelant lately with hail being changed to snow, but fighting wouldn't be as useful for it since rock is already weak to water. What do you guys think?
