OMG sorry I thought I was creating a new thread.

For seth98....

I would suggest leading with your bellosom. You can put one pokemon to sleep right away and then take the opportunity to set up sunny day when they switch. Even if they stay in, sunny day will make you faster and then you can work from there.

I am curious though...why do you have flame orb on Rapidash? Does it activate the Flash Fire ability?

[Sorgatani]

That has been tested, and no - the flame orb does not activate flash fire. I'll have to hunt down a link to the test results.

Back to the topic at hand: I think Castform should have sunny day as well, probably instead of energy ball.

[Seth98]

Oh Flash Fire doesnt get activated by Flame Orb?:o
:( sadness

Sorry about that :( But better to learn now before you try it in battle - right?

[Deneves]

Heat Rock would be a worthwhile hold item for your lead to have.

[Paiopa]

I think you should put leftovers or shell bell on Rapidash to recover from recoil damage by using flare blitz.

For your lead, bellossom, I recomend sunny day instead of sludge bomb, seeing as she get's no STAB off it and you need a sunny day on the lead. I would change the wise glasses to a heat rock so sunny day lasts longer:)

So Something more like this?:confused:

[Cinder]

Castform @ Choice Specs :351-s:
Forecast - Timid
-Energy Ball
-Flamethrower
-Thunderbolt
-Ice Beam

Since this is a Sun team, consider replacing Castform's Flamethrower with its signature attack Weather Ball. With Sunny Day in effect, Weather Ball will be a 100-power Fire-type move, which slightly beats Flamethrower's 95. Seems like a minor change, but unless you really want that 10% chance of inflicting a burn, Weather Ball might be the better choice. Castform's special attack isn't that amazing and in my opinion it can use all the help it can get. But if you keep Flamethrower I don't think it'd cause much of a problem.


Rapidash @ Flash Fire :077:
Flash Fire - Flame Orb
-Sunny Day
-Bounce
-Flare Blitz
-Poison Jab

I'm not much of a fan of two-turn attacks like Bounce. They are blatantly telegraphed, and therefore very easily countered. I think Megahorn or Return would be a better choice here, or possibly even Hypnosis (and then you could think about putting Stun Spore on Bellossom.)

[Seth98]

wow i now look at my rapidash :077: and notice i messed up typing him:o

here is the fix

Rapidash @ Shell Bell

Flash Fire - Jolly
-sunny day
-bounce
-flare blitz
-poison jab

[Seth98]

i look back at this and i notice something... can lunatone lorn moonlight or recover?
