Pokemon Platinum Message Board  

I'm just visiting for a bit. I've been inactive for awhile, I know. Sorry about this ghost.

well i just wanted to know how my team is on what you think:

Blaziken-Brave Bird, Sky Uppercut, Dragon Claw, Blaze Kick

Lucario-Aerial Ace, Shadow Claw, Dragon Pulse, Close Combat

Dragonite-Fly, Thunderbolt, Draco Meteor, Fire Blast

Flygon-Fly, Earthquake, Draco Meteor, Fire Blast

Salamance-Fly, Crunch, Draco Meteor, Fire Blast

Altaria-Fly, Thunderbolt, Draco Meteor, Fire Blast

Four of your Pokemon have a 4x weakness to ice.
Four of your Pokemon are weak to Dragon.
Three of your Pokemon have a weakness to Rock and Stealth Rock.
Four of your Pokemon have the move set Fly/ X/ Draco Meteor/ Fire Blast.
Walrein will take out your entire team if it gets a sub up in Abomasnow Hail.
Heatran with a Scarf will beat everything except Flygon (and even then, Dragon Pulse has a chance to OHKO if it is modest and Hidden Power Ice will OHKO).
Your offence is repetitive across your team
Each Pokemon has a move that shouldn't be used in PvP because there are much better options.
You have no defence.


I strongly suggest re thinking your team.

what do you think game_wiz_2008 should do because I will tell him what he needs to do I'll post my team soon so people can grade my team

well i have no idea for my team cause i am strugling and strugling ans i still cant figure out what my dragon gym team should me. so i am open for any ideas of what my dragon team should me.

Try something like:

Salamence, Latias, Flygon, Kingdra, Bronzong, Magnezone.

This team will minimise your weakness to Ice, however you'll still have 4 weaknesses to dragon (as Dialga is the only Dragon Steel type).

Salamence with a Modest nature, Choice Specs or Life Orb and Draco Meteor will OHKO most thinks not steel or Blissey.

Latias will be Wish support and is a decent Special wall.

Flygon has the dangerous STAB Outrage/ Earthquake combo (only resisted by Levitate Bronzong and Skarmory).

Kingdra only has a weakness to Dragon, decent all round stats, great offensive STAB and a great ability, Kingdra is one of the best mixed sweepers in the game imo (at least while it is raining).

Bronzong will set up Stealth Rock and Rain Dance for Kingdra and can pack a punch with Gyro Ball and a Relaxed nature.

Magnezone will switch in on many attacks the opponent has and will trap and take out most steel types that resist your STAB dragon attacks. I suggest a Timid nature with a Choice Scarf.
