I forgot about the nature of the Sazandora. Modest, Calm or Timid? Do you want it to hit hard, survive longer or become speedier?

Go with calm for now. I'll try a Modest later when I get to updating PO.
Having a mac sucks. -_-

Would anyone like a 5th gen battle? Dream World

I'll take you up on that! Look for Smoo.

I dislike Dream World. It's a fake metagame. Wifi has become a lot more popular.

Skottles · #**171** 12-06-2010, 06:43 PM

I dislike the ubers in it as I really have no experience with ubers.
Apparently I was in Wifi Ubers, it never changed to Dream World for me

Just something created on the spot:

Sazandora @ Leftovers
EVs: 252 HP/136 SpA/120 SpD
Nature: Calm
Moveset:
- Dragon Pulse
- Flamethrower / Surf
- Taunt
- Toxic / Thunder Wave

That should sort of do I guess...

EVs balance Special Attack and Special Defense, but gives a slight preference to Special Defense. No recovery makes it a little annoying to create something worth using though.

Woo I figured out the damn thing.
Gen 5 here I come!
Team building time.

I'm running:

Sazandora @ Leftovers
252 HP / 128 SPA / 128 SP.DEF
Calm Nature
Dragon Pulse
Flamethrower
Roar
Thunder Wave

The only difference is a slight change in EV spread and Roar and Taunt. I think Taunt is only better if you want to avoid Leech Seed + entry hazard setup. Otherwise Roar performs much the same job.

EDIT: Just won my first battle with the team. It's more defensive than anything. Sazandora worked pretty well.

Woot, thanks for trying it out for me!
I'm about to attempt my first gen 5 battle just as soon as I finish this Kojondo up.

I've won 3/3 battles now. My most recent one was against a Rain team. I was about to lose, but Sazandora turned everything around for me, with no hax and hax against it. I might share a few logs later.

Well today went ok I guess, more testing is needed though. I think I'll jump on the rain dance team band-wagon for now...

Ugh, they're so annoying. Only my Trick Room team could really have a decent chance at winning against a really good player. Kingdra is just a monster. Thankfully, Burungel helps.

Because there is no 100% clear indication that some of the Pokemon with abilities will ever be released. Shadow Tag Shandera may not ever exist, because overworld sprites for 5th Gen Pokemon in the Dream World do not exist. Therefore, one can only encounter them by an event, or not at all. Unless the 3rd installment brings a new change that will allow Isshu Pokemon to be encountered, Isshu Dream World Pokemon may never be accessible.

And believe me, Shandera is a top tier threat in the Dream World. Remove that, and most things change.
