Infernape for sure, but if the Rampardos has a strong enough Special Defense, or high HP maybe, it will be able to endure it.

I've been starting to work on a Poison team, but only have 5 Pokemon and Natures.

Muk - Hasty
Nidoking - Careful
Tentacruel - Impish
Victreebel - Naive
Gengar - Bold

What do you think so far?

Sorry for the double post. My other one originally didn't show up.

Rampardos's Defence and Special Defence are among the lowest in the game.
Its HP is above average but it isn't anything special.


What are you trying to out speed with Muk?
Unless you can't avoid it it is better to lower an attack stat then a defence stat (give Muk a Jolly nature since it won't use special attacks).

Nidoking's nature and EVs are dependant on what moves it knows.
Careful would mainly be for support (ie a move pool similar to Stealth Rock, Toxic Spikes, Earthquake, Roar).

Tentacruel's Special Attack and special moves are more powerful then its Attack and physical moves however it can learn Swords Dance so it's nature should be based on its moves.
Poison and Water has great type coverage when they are combined so Poison Jab/ Sludge Bomb and Waterfall/ Surf should be used with the other two moves for support (Swords Dance, Rapid Spin, Haze, Toxic Spikes, Toxic, Barrier etc).

Victreebel has a move pool for support and stats for wall breaking, you seem to have the right nature here.

Gengar should either have a Modest or a Timid nature gepending on what you prefer (more speed or power).

My Azumarill will one hit KO a Rampardos with Aqua Jet (granted it will also take off half of Tyranitar's HP).

Infernape is a little more sturdy, it is not a sturdy Pokemon but it is more sturdy than Rampardos.
The thing with Infernape is it has high offensive stats and speed (base 104/ 104/ 108) and powerful STAB moves on both sides (Flare Blitz, Fire Blast/Overheat, Close Combat, Focus Blast) so it is dangerous to Pokemon any Pokemon weak to either side, which is a lot of Pokemon.
Infearnape can also learn Bulk Up and Calm Mind which will give it greater offensive and defensive stats on one side.


EDIT: broke the page.

Nice, ok, so I'll go with those natures that you listed, and what do you think my sixth Pokemon should be?

Bronzong is probably your best choice as it is immune to Ground and 4x resists psychic which are your greatest weaknesses (all of your current Pokemon are weak to Psychic and three are weak to ground).

Oh, maybe I can replace one of the other poison Pokemon too. I'll definetely go with Bronzong though. Maybe I could go with a dark or another Psychic Pokemon.

hey ghost42 ur azumarill must be good anyways i have been working on my team i've decided i needed an electric type because the challenger will get thrown off not knowing i have a fire type and electric making me unstoppable so if theres any good 1 that u have can u trade me them?

My Azumarill has high attack and some bulk but other then that it isn't anything really special (the HP, Defence and Special Defence IVs are low) I may make another one.

Loc, Cresselia is another Pokemon with resistance to Psychic and immunity to ground.
