Ask away, I have most things and can get stuff bred easily.

I want to try my own Arceus set:

Nature: Modest
Item: Spooky Plate
EV's: 252 SPATK, 252 HP, 6 SPD
Moves:
Judgement
Heat Wave
Cosmic Power
Recover

Cosmic Power lets Arceus boost himself to obscene levels of defense while easily recovering damage with recover. Judgement and Heat Wave give a combination of Ghost / Fire type moves which hit most for at least neutral damage. I like Ghost Type as well because of it's two immunities.

I have an action replay if you want me to get you that
btw I don't use that for my pokemon, just to get my some shinies and pokerus

Leet Speak!

Lol.
Oh, and what do you want that impish named FMT?

You have it? YAYZ!!! Don't trade it to me yet though, I have to think of a good nickname.

EDIT: I want the nickname to be "Nuclarius". Remove the quotation marks.

I don't have it yet. Just in preparation. I am breeding for one.

Double post for another guide, one I think every player needs to read.

Building your team effectively!

Building a Pokemon team is a lot like making a machine. You need a good set of parts, which work well together. Without either of these, teams are inevitably subpar.
Your team won’t work well if you have Groudon and Tyranitar teamed up and cancelling out each others weather bonuses, despite the fact that they are statistically superior pokemon. Likewise, Snover and Spheal do not constitute a good team even with Snover’s automatic hail inducing and the 100% accuracy it gives Spheals Blizzard, because they just aren’t powerful enough. There has to be a balance, which is when you see some of the powerful combinations which complement each other perfectly, such as Kyogre and Manaphy.

Every player should start their team from a point, a basis to build upon. This is generally a theme (Such as a Hail team), or a favourite pokemon which the player wants to use.
From this basis, they can start adding the next pokemon to the team, choosing ones which are work effectively with the chosen theme or starting pokemon. Every Pokemon’s move, ability, hold item and stats should be considered, as they’re all contributing factors to your teams effectiveness.

Visit www.smogon.com/dp/pokemon to read more about the pokemon, find out their exact stat boundaries, all the moves they can learn, and the ways they’re generally used. Bear in mind that the movesets listed there are the ones tried and most widely used in competitive pokemon play. However, the more creative player will make their own movesets specifically for their team, to just as good, if not better results.

For example, I started my team with Groudon, my favourite pokemon. It’s ability, Drought, also gave the idea for a sun themed team. So I looked through my pokemon to see who would work well with Groudon or sunlight, figured how to put them together for the best effect, and got my current competitive team. Players who have a team well thought out and put together like this will usually win against players who don’t, regardless of EV’s and such.


Finally, just because you have finished your team, doesn’t mean it is complete. There are always things you can do to improve it or entirely different pokemon you can add to it to have it work differently. You may have built your machine, but it always needs oiling, or it will go rusty.

I’m always happy to give advice and help with team planning, as I know it’s the most confusing but ultimately most rewarding part of competitive Pokemon.

Cool. My Arceus is now almost lvl 100.

OK. I'll be right on.

Communication error, going back on

Sorry, my stupid dad called me to do something.

Now he foiled my entire strategy. I almost had you there!

Hate to tell you, but my Machamp is the Rest + Sleep Talk variant. Your Toxic wouldn't have worked.

I prefer Sub-dynamic machamp.

Also, I don't feel like going back online 

And FYI, that wasn't the only part of my plan 

lol, fair enough. I'm finishing training my Arceus up for battling the people in this thread who don't use statusing moves.
Cosmic Power repeatedly while using recover to heal the damage they give, then when DEF and SPDEF are maxed out, start sweeping with Judgement and Heat Wave (Ghost and Fire for near perfect coverage). My noob slayer. 

I use the Rest and Sleep Talk variant because it gets rid of status, heals, and I know how badly you can get owned if you dont have something to fight off a Dark Void spamming Darkrai.

The best noob slayer is a Blissey with toxic, imo. Most of them don't have any utility moves to fight it with, and the only pokemon which really owns Blissey without the need for utility moves is a Dynamicpunch Machamp. (Which noobs dont use because they dont understand how No Guard works)
