Lol Pants ikr, I'll help you write up a synopsis to make it easier.

Right Erick, change that to Leftovers then.

so many things missing... IV sets, EV sets, natures, and mention of the tiers...

if i were you guys, i would just come up with your own form of battling.

Well, I was thinking of re-amping Sammy's ideas to fit most battlers styles and to make them better, I already have my own form of battling believe me lol

IV Sets, usually 31 all around unless Hidden Power is being used. EV Sets, need work. Natures, need work. Mention of tiers, usually not posted but I guess I can throw it in.

would make it way bttr

(IV changes will be noted)

Water Team:

Kingdra: Dragon Dance, Rest, Waterfall, Outrage. Chesto Berry.
adamant nature
24 hp 252 atk 232 speed (after 1 DD its speed is 396, outspeeding non scarfed jolteon)

Suicune: Calm Mind, Rest, HP fire/ice beam, Surf. Chesto berry.
modest/bold
IV set for HP fire: 31 hp, 30 atk, 31 def, 30 sp.atk, 31 sp.def, 30 speed
252 HP/252def/4sp.atk

Vaporeon: Protect, wish, Toxic, surf/hydro pump. Leftovers.
modest/bold
252 HP/252 def/4sp. atk

Gyarados: Dragon Dance, Bounce/dragon tail, Waterfall/aqua tail, Earthquake. leftovers.

88hp/252 atk/168 spd (for 396 speed after 1 DD)

Feraligator: Dragon Dance, brick break (for var 1)/Rest (for var 2), Waterfall, Earthquake/ice punch. Chesto Berry.
jolly OR adamant (for var 2)

Empoleon: Substitute, Agility, Surf/hydro pump/scald, Flash Cannon. leftovers.
modest
88 HP/252 sp.atk/168 speed (same reason as above)


there's my synopsis on the water team

Why HP Fire on Suicune? Wait, its a Water Team, not RD or Drizzle. Still, I'd slash Ice Beam first because its just better.

Ikr beast would make it way better lol

HP fire tears out those pesky ferrothorns which you have almost no way to deal with on this team.

True, didn't think of those pesky Ferrothorns lol HP Fire SHOULD have first slash then.

Jirachi @ Leftovers
Trait: Serene Grace
Nature: Sassy (+SDef, -Spe)
EV's: 252 HP / 230 SDef / 26 Def OR Atk
Moveset:
- Thunder Wave
- Wish
- Zen Headbutt
- Iron Head

That's my synopsis of the Jirachi set

i think 252 HP/252atk/4sp.d adamant/impish jirachi is a more fun option. its natural 236 defs have bulk enough with its HP to take hits, and it doesn't need speed because of Twave. the 252 atk hits very hard, especially with drain punch available, pulling in bulk and hitting ferrothorn hard.

i think wish/substitute/drain punch is the best option set for that moveslot... all work really well.

Hmm you have a good point there, its better an attacker than a pure wall. I'l put it 252 HP/ 252 Atk/ 4 SDef with Adamant nature.

Drain Punch over Wish for insta-heal and more coverage, noted.

Substitute is good but Jirachi needs a way to eventually heal up or it'll go down much faster than you want it to.

sub prevents burn and paralysis. big, big issue

DAMNIT! Now I see why you're so good lol

Well give it team support then, throw in a Flash Fire poke and/or an Aromatherapist (lol), unless you wanna do just the opposite and go for Sub with Wish support. Either one's your choice in the end, both work perfectly with a Chansey/Blissey.

u guys hav lost me lol

Lol beast read through all the posts again, then you'll understand xD

We're remodeling all of Sammy's strategies to make 'em better lol
