why would you use samurott
its like the worst starter to use especially in competitive battling
Samurott is basically the strongest one of those starters! Serperior is the one that's terrible. The moves it learns are horrendous, seriously.. Most of the moves it can learn are practically Grass & Normal types.
That's the reason the only chose the Grass starter in D/P/PL, and even then, I barely got through the game (kind of a noob back then), was because of a challenge. Mostly start with Fire now, because of raw power, and even then, it's still going downhill. Grass is basically the worst starting type they made. Either that, or Nintendo just makes horrible grass starters. The best possible example for a HORRIBLE Grass starter is Meganium. You have to get by with Razor Leaf until lvl 15, and even then it's still awful. Go with fire or water. They're way better.
My team is

Bisharp(69)
Hydregion(72)
Archeops(74)
Samurott(100)
Reshiram(100)
Zeckrom(100)

My un-EV trained, poor-natured Torterra absolutely demolished Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum. My Sceptile OHKOs everything that doesn't resist it in-game in Emerald(and if I bred right and EV trained it, subseed sceptile is one of my all-time favorite setups to run).

Fire is only the correct choice in 2 and 5, for "ease". Water is the best in 1 and 3. In 4, they're all about even, but Ground is the most useful STAB type in Gen 4's primary game playthrough, so Torterra edges out above the others if only for that. Infernape is one of the most ludicrous(arguably THE most, actually) starters, in terms of pure offensive power, but it's inconvenient in-game unless you're deliberately not running CC/Flare Blitz.

Of course, none of this really matters because nothing short of the Battle Frontier is even remotely difficult in any Pokémon game, and if you EV train and run a competitive set, the Battle Frontier bows out pretty easily, too - aside from Factory and so forth.

http://www.smogon.com/bw/pokemon/serperio
serperior/Jarlorda would be considered the best, Daikenki second, and Enobouh the worst.

"Good Starter List"
----------------------
Venusaur
Freligatr [wrong spelling, I know]
Blaziken
Empoleon/ Infernape
Serperior
-------------------------
And all you do with a Torterra is use STAB Earthquake and you win most of the game.

Blaziken being an uber now is still saddening to me.

Here's what I think

Take out Larvesta because he is weaker than all your Pokemon and you can catch its evolution that's LV 70
Also take out Zebstrika because again its weaker than all your other Pokemon
What LV is Whimsicott

whimsicott is level 44
I'll replace zebstrika with escavalier and larvesta with darmanitan
nah, dont get escavalier...dude if you want, i could give you a snivy and a tepig Grin
Scizor>Escavalier

In recent months, I guess you could say I've become a competitive battler. I really only have trouble on the Smogon server on Pokémon Online. The main server is full of n00bs, I can ladder on there like nobody's business.

The point is, recently I have been using a gimmick team. Very fun, incorporating some of my personal favorites and Pokémon that make them work. If you understand competitive battling, this is a pretty nice team too. No weather for once as well, which is a relief. The team (all Lv. 100):
Archeops Gem (Lead) (Click to View)
Zoroark Orb (Click to View)
Dragonite (Click to View)
Volcarona Sash (Click to View)
Lucario Band (Click to View)
Tentacruel (Last) (Click to View)

Comments and Explanations (Click to View)
This team can also handle the common weather teams and their users, but again, only if you know how to use it. This is a fun and relatively successful team too. Enjoy!

If you want RMT's, or have questions about stuff just shoot me up with a PM.

Ok than what LV are Escavalier and Darmanitan

Only replace it with a zen mode darmanitan. IMHO they are better than normal. Also the event arceus needs better moves, anyone else agree?
So my current team is :
Infernape lv 85 (Speed-Sp.atk increased, hold Item that avoid 1 Hit Ko (can't remember the name at the moment, focus Sash?)) known move: Dig, Flamethrower, Fire Blast, Close Combat - Sweeper
Empoleon lv 84 (Hp and Sp.Def, Speed increased, held Item :Water Gem)-Main defender (as it have so many resistance)
known move: Hydro Pump, Surf, Earthquake, Blizzard
Serperior lv 80( Sp.Def-Speed increased, hold Item: Grass Gem)
known move: Leaf Storm, Giga Drain, Leaf Blade, Dragon Tail( will change it)
Togekiss lv 85( Sp.Atk-Speed increased, held item: Flying Gem)-Sweeper
known move: Flamethrower, Aura Sphere, Sky Attack, Fly(use in pair with Empoleon'Surf in double battle)
Eelektross lv84( Speed, Def, Sp.Def increased, held item: Quick Claw)
known move: Thunder, Thunderbolt,Crunch, Dragon Claw
Reuniculus lv 84 (Speed Increased, held item: Life Orb- use that and Reuniculus doesn't lose any dam because of Ability)
known move: Thunder, Focus Blast, Psychic, Future Sight


Any idea on improve my pokemon?
*Note that all my pokemon except Togekiss and Eelektric are Shiny



If u are willing to use legemdary, get an arceus. There is currently an event on now for gl members worldwide. Im not sure if u should use it. But from the sounds of your team youre using cheats for shiny pokemon.
Also an infallible pokemon is spiritomb. No weaknesses, and if you have shedninja and alakazam with role play, boom! Invincible spiritomb.
<My only cheat code is shiny Smile cuz I like their shiny form.>
I already got 2 arceus, one in Plantinum that is not an event, one Lv100 Arceus that is from HGSS event learn the signature move of its own and the creation trio (dia,pal and gira)
I do like Areceus alot but I don't think I will put it in. Spiritomb is good, i admit. I am training a spiritomb at the moment. Thinking of let out reuniculus.
Shedninja's ability is awesome, too bad it has low HP (lowest of all, lol) and too many weakness (5)
Alakazam is a pokemon i have been using forever from all prev gen so this gen I'm going to change a bit.
I am thinking of adding a pseido-legend, maybe Tyranita or Garchomp
Excaliver is 53 but its nature sucks its modest......
Darmanitan is 44 his nature is Naughty.

Im probaly not gonna put excaliver in because

Samurott And Scrafty are gonna be my Attack and Defense.
Haxorus and Braviary/Archeops are gonna be just full attackers.
Whimsicott and Darmanitan are gonna be my stall and attacker. She annoys the opponet while darmanitan crushes everything in site lol.

I would trade my excaliver for a Tepig but i dont have Wi-Fi i really want a tepig to see how it peforms. I need to go to my freinds for Wi-Fi for now. One more thing I'm just trying to use pokemon in the Unova region because i dont think you can use any others in tournaments.
You guys know there is this thing called action replay poke on edition with a pokemon modifier on it so you can choose which pokemon are in the grass? I have two pc pages of darkries!.lol her comes the darkrie clan! Did I spell darkrie right?

I don't know a single person who doesn't know what an Action Replay is. Also, Darkrai is spelled like this (I think): D-A-R-K-R-A-I.
a) Yes it is spelled that way.
b) Hurr durr. But that is called cheating, my dear children, and is frowned upon in most societies.

We try to not be hackers and actually work hard for our Pokémon, thanks.

I actually am not allowed to cheat/hack, and I was just telling him most people know what an Action Replay is. People who cheat are to lazy to put effort into stuff.

Second part was referring to Andy12, first part was at you.
It's hard breeding the perfect prodigal pokemon and EV train it to have OU good stats. I don't hack though, don't get me wrong. I keep each Pokemon I have bred and train it with love and care as if it were real, I don't "throw them away" if they have the nature I don't want, I raise it with the same equality of the others in my party. Or sometimes I just trade the Pokemon.

Why not a metranome or life orb? And adamant nature?
@ hitsugiya: after a time you will learn that sweepers with higher speeds do better than if they had an attack/sp atk nature.
