Pokémon Battle Revolution - May 7 09 A

The irony in this battle was that I used a team of only Water Pokémon, yet went through it, from front to back, without using any Water attacks.

This team looked pretty imposing when I saw the battle begin. There's a Grass starter, a Water starter, and a Fire starter, all of them well-respected in competitive battling, plus Gallade, Salamence, and Blissey, each of whom possess massive potential. Four of the Pokémon have items, so it seems like the team IS capable of putting up quite a fight.

Then, the battle began and everything fell apart for poor Safi. Torterra went down in one hit through Ice Beam, and the follow-up Salamence did too. Gallade and Salamence were both slower than Pelipper, so I knew something wasn't right here.

After the battle, I took a look at Safi's Friend Pass. As it seems, all four of the items were Focus Band. (Where did he get so many?) Safi is also an advocate of the "pure offensive" mindset, where he does nothing but attack. The only non-attacking move in this whole team is Blissey's Softboiled. It's too bad I never got a chance to show the importance of technique in this battle, though the Brooke Pass is one of the more attack-oriented passes. Still, he was smart enough to see the horde of Water Pokémon coming his way and chose against Blaziken. It perplexes me as to why people would bring a Fire Pokémon up aginst this team, but he's above that.

I'd like to see how he'll do in the future. He's defeinitely got a lot of potential.

I used Pelipper, Gastrodon, Relicanth, and Tentacruel (unseen). My opponent used Torterra, Gallade, Salamence, and Empoleon.

Who the Hell does pure offensive? You need to be able to use non-damaging moves too if you wanna win. And Overhazard, he probably got all of those Focus Bands by competing in the Battle Frontier in Platinum. It's one of the exchange prizes.

@Rayquaoxys3846 You'd be surprised at how angry the pure-offensive players sometimes get when they see my videos.

@Overhazard, i would like to ask you a question. because the ev vitamins are dirt cheap at the battle frontier, i buy those rather than ev train my pokemon, (which i have attemted once, but it took the best part of two days) and all of my competetive battlers are trained using them, would you say that they are good substitute for proper ev training? plz reply asap

[Overhazard]

@kookooburu No. A vitamin will only bring an EV for a particular stat up to 100. After that, the Pokémon wont accept any more.

For the most part, you'll be bringing your Pokémon's EVs past 100. Vitamins are good for starting EV-training, but you'll have to finish the rest of it manually.

Very nice water team! Such a lovely versatile type~

[Overhazard]

There are a lot of Water Pokémon, for that matter, so I chose some who were overlooked and forgotten.

[Boldmeateor]

i cant beleive how many ppl think gastrodon is useless. its one of the most useful pokemon.

[ObsidiusFan]

@Rayquaoxys3846 I really prefer to be pure offensive. I dont care if I dont win, I just have fun. But, with the time, I started using non damaging moves like Thunder Wave, Toxic, Protect, Swords Dance, Dragon Dance or Shell Smash

[zacheatstacos]

I'm assuming that the Salamence was obtained as a Bagon and the trainer didn't mind its nature. Bad move there. That Gallade really was odd too.

But you are definitely right; this trainer certainly has potential to get better. Just needs to use more support moves.

[zacheatstacos]

Yeah, with the Salamence you'd think it'd be quite a bit faster than Pelipper.

Most likely he obtained a Bagon and didn't see if its nature was to its benefit.

And even that Torterra could've had the grass-weakening berry (I forget its actual name).
