im playing pokemon emerald
im planning on playing in the battle frontier
Blaziken
Held Item : Quick Claw
Endure
Reversal
Flamethrower
Quick Attack
blaziken's defenses are lame so the endure reversal combo works well
and flamethrower is there in case anyone has very high defense
quick attack is there in case my hp is high and i want to attack first since blaziken's speed is slighty below average
Lanturn
Held Item : Nevermeltice
Rain Dance
Surf
Thunder
Ice Beam
rain dance will make the stabed surf even more powerful and also make thunder 100% accurate. Ice beam is there for dragon and grass types . with nevermeltice, ice beam will be just like a stabbed move which makes laturn better. i know laturn is mostly used as an annoyer but i prefer this set as i have other defensive pokemon in my team already
Cradily
Held Item : Leftovers
Ingrain
Confuse Ray
Giga Drain
Ancientpower
ingrain working with leftovers and confuse ray on top of cradily's defenses will make sure it stays green in hp most of the time. giga drain will restore even more. ancientpower is there for stab and the chance of increasing the stats
Dusclops
Held Item: Chesto Berry
Rest
Toxic
Protect
Night Shade
Toxic and protect work hand in hand with each other
i know many people prefer mean look here but i dont see why they want to trap others when you can just poison the next pokemon if they plan to switch out. rest works with chesto berry and night shade is there to deal with steel types and poison types
Flygon
Held Item : Blackglasses
Faint Attack
Dragon Claw
Earthquake
Sandstorm
faint attack is weak but with blackglasses its power becomes 90 and it will deal with double teamers. dragon claw is to deal with dragon types that often have the levitate ability or are part flying. earthquake is there for stab and its awesome power and accuracy. sandstorm will increase flygon's evasiveness and hurt the opponent on top of that, and if flygon faints, i can switch in cradily to make sure my other pokemon are not affected by sandstorm
Exploud
Held Item : Leftovers / Shell Bell
Roar
Flamethrower
Brick Break
Hyper Voice
Roar is to deal with opponents who rely on setup moves and also to fend off anything exploud cant outright kill. brick break will destroy reflects and ligth screens etc. and hyper voice is there for stab and i dont see many opponenets with the soundproof ability, other than voltorb which is weak defensively and other explouds which brick break will deal with. im not sure which held item to go with as exploud as high HP but im pretty sure its gonna deal alot of damage which will make shell bell effective.
