It was faster than your Dragonite after a Dance and killed it with HP Ice. :P
Magneton, like Golem, is Sturdy and I also have a Focus Sash on the Cloyster... so I have three Pokémon with lifelines that can act as revenge killers in a pinch. + Choice Band Dragonite with Extremespeed. The team is supposed to be heavy offensive, which is why I don't like the Tentacruel at all. I will probably switch back to Starmie.
yea having that priority explosion is super sick..
my strategy is supposed to go like this
set up entry hazards, status and knock offs w clefable and tentacruel, tank with kanga and dent as much of the team as possible, clean up and sweep with dragonite or zard x. gengar w scarf for revenge killing in between
Screw ScarfStarmie... ScarfMagneton is way to useful and item clause is a thing. Guess I'm going back to the LO Starmie that I used in Round 1 or maybe TrickSpecs Analytic Starmie.
I'll have to think of something for the Gengar matchup though...
yea if u werent already sashing u could do a zam or something. i think i got lucky with when i pulled out gengar. i bet if u switched and sacked magneton, dragonite couldve taken one shadow ball and ohkod with dclaw or outrage
Usually I keep track during a battle on a small paper of what has been damaged, knocked off, KO'd etc. I didn't bother this time, because there was nothing on the line and didn't really keep track. I would never play like this during a rated match, but at least I realize that Tentacruel is misplaced here.
same im abt to give my vcodes out. why do i give a shit abt sring a pokemon that will never be as good as any of my flawless ones? for a cherish ball? nah. i go til i get an acceptable nature and thats it, then they usually rot in a box
