I think you should put a rock move on garchomp to block ice, flying, some dragons, and fire types.

I'll think about that, it sounds like a great idea. Did you know that Garchomp can learn surf?

You can put Thunderpunch to help with water types, but what happens when you encounter a Swampert with Ice Punch?

Hint: Teach Infernape Grass Knot. It is one of the most useful moves you can teach it.

First, it depends on the level. I could probably just close-combat swampwert to death, or I could take out Garchomp with its great speed and attack power and use Draco Metoer a couple of times. Also, Grass knot works well for about the 5 water-ground pokemon out there, also the waters, rocks, and I can't remeber the other things its good against. However, Infernape already has Close cobat for rocks, and with thunder punch it can kill 95% of the waters it faces plus almost all flying as an added bonus. It attack power is not limited in the same way as grass knot.

Besides these are the only two on my team at the moment. Once I get the national dex, I will import alot of my ruby pokemon and train a great team.

It's also useful for all the Ground types. And if you are fighting the same level swampert, one close combat will not kill it, regardless of EV distribution.

Okay then, but if it is the same level as Gar-chomp, I higly doubt it will kill him in one shot either as its stats are better than any starters and any of the elemental punches are not too strong. (Like 70-90 attack power or somthing?) Anyways, right now I am going for Thunderpunch.

If anyone wants to battle, two level 59-63s will be welcome. I already posted my friend code. Just say the time.

All the elemental punches are 75% power.
Super effective, it's 150% Power
But Garchomp has a 4x weakness to it because of his typing. So 300% power. stronger than selfdestruct.
And Swampert does have the stats to back up that move, I can assure you.

Hey, I am reviveing this thread! Lets keep it up now! (It was mostly my fault it died in the first place, but anyways...)

So I have a wish to battle someone. Three Pokemon, the option to automatic lvl 100. My team is:
Infernape(Dante)
Flare Blitz
Thunder Punch
Close Combat
Calm Mind(Doesn't do anything)

Garchomp (Gar-bye)
Crunch
Dragon Claw
Dragon Rush
Earthquake

Swampwert (Need a name, any sugestions?)
Surf
Ice punch
Earthquake
Take down


Thats my team so far. The moves will probably switch though.

I could also use a ditto, for breeding if anyone is willing to give me one.
P.S. I have beaten the Elite Four now. 3 times so far.

Errrrrm.......... Probably, thats around 9 pm for me. I should be able to. Now just to choose the other two pokemon XD

I will be around a little earlier too, I just thought that that was when you usually came on. Anyways, I will probably lose, seeing as my pokemon arn't at level 100 yet, (70,73,62)
and I haven't EV Trained them at all.

See you then!

EDIT: I'm ready when you are.

Yeah, That was in the morning, before school for me. I am good now though, until 10:30 ish your time. Just leave a post.

FC: 4596 8686 8463

Here, give me 10-20 minutes, as I am in the middle of the elite four. Will get out soon.

Okay, i will.

My lvl 73 Garchomp is getting owned by a lvl 54 bronzong at the moment, and I am getting very angry at it.    I killed it finally by spamming dragon rush and then went on to kill every other one of his pokemon with crunch.

Should we use 3 or 6 pokemon?
