| You need rapid spin badly also, in monotype teams only 5/6 pokemon need to be the same type so you should replace one of them with maybe a bulky pokemon that can take common fire type weaknesses. | |

I think i might replace Blaziken with Blastoise for spin support. I'm just not familiar with Blastoise, so i don't really know what moves to put on it.... Anyways, I replaced hetran's item too. Thanks for helping my team out!!! | |

| how about a grass type? They resist water and ground, ur 2 major weaknesses.
How about Sceptile? he's a good physical physical sweeper, and can sub/seed Otherwise, I would suggest celebi and make it support and stuff
oh and make that infernape as fast as possible, you definitely don't want stealth rock up.
You could have torkoal as your spinner, he already has great defense so willowisp isn't necessary. Also a big portion of spikers tend to have a more physical orientation, such as forretress, skarmory, so you can easily switch in and spin away. | |

I also needed a wall too, so..... i just now realized that CM can't be on heatran, so im replacing it with will-o-wisp. So, now i have a free move for torkoal, wat should i use? | |

I hope this helps... ^_^ get rid of fire types? That's heatran's job! anyway, due to the slight lack of special defensiveness, I would suggest light screen and light clay. Celebi has recover, so leftovers aren't so necessary. I guess the ev's are okay, and I would lean towards leech seed instead of t-wave, but they're both good picks. | |

Leech Seed Reflect Grass Knot Hidden Power Ice NO I AM NOT HAPPY!!! What the crap will hp Ice do?? beat grass types!? what will you do with all your fire types!? and why dija get rid of recover!? Its WAY more reliable than healing with leech seed and leftovers!. GET LIGHT CLAY AND LIGHT SCREEN! it's already very defensive, so he's good for taking e-quakes. You need light screen so when you switch into a surf or something, you can wall ice-beams as well. Also the special boost will help out your team A LOT!!! | |

Second of HP Ice will get rid of any Flying-types that are trying to harm Celebi. Third you said to forget Recover and replace it with Light Screen. Just let Brawler1234 decide on his own on what he wants on his team. | |

How about we just ignore Brawler1234 and let him make it by himself without any help pokemon that use flying type moves standardly: Togekiss, skarmory, staraptor, swellow, yanmega (that's all i can think of off the top of my head) all of the above pokemon can be easily countered by heatran.

I was bein sarcastic, in response to your...ignorant statement. I'm tryin to make this celebi more suited for his team, especially since he has to rely on celebi's resistances. It just seems like you are just copy/pasting from smogon or somethin. Grass knot beats those ground types, so hp ice is just for dragon types. That's just a waste. You have to consider the other members of the team you know. But it does bring up a point, he needs something to beat dragons, cuz they resist fire. | |

make willowisp hp ice and make him a little more on the defensive side. He can easily come in on those dragon and resist outrage or somethin. and you don't have to worry about e-quake as you have that shucca berry. sound good?

| why hp water??? if ya need a move for the last slot then use recover! and what reason do you need reflect for? Light screen seems best for your team because you lack special defensiveness. Also you could just might have something survive a surf. | |

also replace leftovers with light clay recover is WAY more reliable than leftovers, and you have leech seed to help healing too. | |

| okay, now I think you should save that infernape as a physical sweeper, maybe mixed.
What if arcanine dies and you fight a blissey?
I would suggest the scarf lead set for Moltres Modest nature @ choice scarf 40def / 252spa / 216spe -U-turn -Will-o-wisp -Overheat -Air Slash "The list of common lead Pokémon that are OHKOed by Overheat or Air Slash include Infernape, Jolteon, Azelf, Yanmega, Bronzong, Metagross, Roserade, Forretress, Crobat, Ninjask, Ambipom, Alakazam, Celebi, Skarmory, Weavile, Abomasnow—the list goes on and on." - Smogon | |

I think that making Ape a physical sweeper would be better because of all the special atk based team members i have. Edit: i tested this team out. we went 5-1 with a haxed loss. (frozen twice, fire blast missed 2 times, he had 4 crits, me 1, 3 para haxed on me) :( I found moltres lead worked amazingly, and i definatly need rapid spin too. | |

Good anti-lead, but for Fire monotype you want to limit you SR weakness, therefore something that loses 50% of it's HP from SR is NOT something you want. Use Infernape (Standard) or Heatran (Modified for Sunny Day) as a lead, Ape can prevent SR/Entry Hazards, and Heatran can use a move I'd suggest for your team: Sunny Day. ---

Arcanine@Choice Band
Nature: Jolly Ability; Intimidate Ev's: 4HP / 252Att / 252Spe
Moveset:
Flare Blitz ExtremeSpeed Thunder Fang Iron Head
Basic physical sweeper (and only physical sweeper)
I would simply replace this, to be honest. You don't need another Physical Attacker with the team I'm going to suggest to you... This slot would be better for something bulky for Sunny Day support, if you use Ape as a lead, something like Charizard works (especially BellyZard), or if you insist on a Physical Attacker, use a better one than Arcanine:
Entei @ Life Orb/Choice Band Pressure Adamant/Jolly Nature (+Atk/Spd, -SpAtk) EVs: 6 HP/ 252 Atk/ 252 Spd
Fire Fang (Choice Band)/Overheat (Life Orb) Iron Head Stone Edge Return
Hell, Entei can also Sunny Day:
Entei @ Heat Rock Pressure Bold Nature (+Def, -Atk) EVs: 252 HP/ 212 Def/ 6 SpAtk/ 40 SpDef
Calm Mind Solar Beam Fire Blast/Flamethrower Sunny Day ---
Heatran@Shucca Berry
Nature: Timid Ability: Flash Fire Ev's: 4HP / 252SpA / 252Spe
Moveset:
Fire Blast Earth Power Substitute Hidden Power Ice
Main Special Sweeper.
If you make it a lead, ignore this. If you DON'T make it a lead, use ScarfTran or SubToxic Tran. Shuca is only for Lead-Tran. ---
Torkoal@Leftovers
Nature: Relaxed Ability; White Smoke Ev's: 252 HP / 252 Def / 6 SpA
Moveset:
Rapid Spin Stealth Rock Overheat Explosion
Spin support since my team is weak to SR. overheat for stab and explotion for when it is at low health.
Replace, replace, replace. Magmortar, Typhlosion, or Houndoom will do better here. The latter two perform better in Sunny Day. ---
Celebi@Light Clay Nature: Bold Ev's: 252 HP / 220 Def / 36 SpA
Moveset:
Leech Seed Light Screen Grass Knot Recover
Main Physical wall. Basically, it is here to annoy ppl and get them to use fire type moves so i can bring in heatran to absorb it.
Replace with Breloom, who resists all of fire's main weaknesses, beats Blissey, and provides Sleep support:
Breloom @ Toxic Orb Poison Heal Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SpAtk) EVs: 6 HP/ 252 Atk/ 252 Spd
Spore Substitute Seed Bomb Focus Punch
-or-
Breloom @ Toxic Orb Poison Heal Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SpAtk) EVs: 252 HP/ 252 Atk/ 6 Spd
Leech Seed Substitute Focus Punch/Facade Spore
---
As of now you should have a team of 5. For you last guy, depending on your lead, I'd recommend another Sunny Day User/Abuser, OR using both Ape and Blaziken

Breloom @ Toxic Orb Poison Heal Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SpAtk) EVs: 6 HP/ 252 Atk/ 252 Spd
Spore Substitute Seed Bomb Focus Punch
-or-
Breloom @ Toxic Orb Poison Heal Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SpAtk) EVs: 252 HP/ 252 Atk/ 6 Spd
Leech Seed Substitute Focus Punch/Facade Spore
---
As of now you should have a team of 5. For you last guy, depending on your lead, I'd recommend another Sunny Day User/Abuser, OR using both Ape and Blaziken

Thanks!! MY EYEZ!!!!!!!!!! seriously don't use dark blue | |

Good anti-lead, but for Fire monotype you want to limit you SR weakness, therefore something that loses 50% of it's HP from SR is NOT something you want. Use Infernape (Standard) or Heatran (Modified for Sunny Day) as a lead, Ape can prevent SR/Entry Hazards, and Heatran can use a move I'd suggest for your team: Sunny Day. ---

Swords dance sweeper. Hes here to help arcanine if he should happen to be Ko'd.
If not used as a lead, you can use it as a sweeper or Wall-Breaker. But honestly, if you prefer using the less used Pokes:

My own creation, a wall breaking Blaziken that is of nearly equal usability to Infernape. ---
Arcanine@Choice Band
Nature: Jolly Ability; Intimidate Ev's: 4HP / 252Att / 252Spe
Moveset:
Flare Blitz ExtremeSpeed Thunder Fang Iron Head
Basic physical sweeper (and only physical sweeper)
I would simply replace this, to be honest. You don't need another Physical Attacker with the team I'm going to suggest to you... This slot would be better for something bulky for Sunny Day support, if you use Ape as a lead, something like Charizard works (especially BellyZard), or if you insist on a Physical Attacker, use a better one than Arcanine:
Entei @ Life Orb/Choice Band Pressure Adamant/Jolly Nature (+Atk/Spd, -SpAtk) EVs: 6 HP/ 252 Atk/ 252 Spd
Fire Fang (Choice Band)/Overheat (Life Orb) Iron Head Stone Edge Return
Hell, Entei can also Sunny Day:
Entei @ Heat Rock Pressure Bold Nature (+Def, -Atk) EVs: 252 HP/ 212 Def/ 6 SpAtk/ 40 SpDef
Calm Mind Solar Beam Fire Blast/Flamethrower Sunny Day ---
Heatran@Shucca Berry
Nature: Timid Ability: Flash Fire Ev's: 4HP / 252SpA / 252Spe
Moveset:
Fire Blast Earth Power Substitute Hidden Power Ice
Main Special Sweeper.
If you make it a lead, ignore this. If you DON'T make it a lead, use ScarfTran or SubToxic Tran. Shuca is only for Lead-Tran. ---
Torkoal@Leftovers
Nature: Relaxed Ability; White Smoke Ev's: 252 HP / 252 Def / 6 SpA
Moveset:
Rapid Spin Stealth Rock Overheat Explosion
Spin support since my team is weak to SR. overheat for stab and explotion for when it is at low health.
Replace, replace, replace. Magmortar, Typhlosion, or Houndoom will do better here. The latter two perform better in Sunny Day. ---
Celebi@Light Clay Nature: Bold Ev's: 252 HP / 220 Def / 36 SpA
Moveset:
Leech Seed Light Screen Grass Knot Recover
Main Physical wall. Basically, it is here to annoy ppl and get them to use fire type moves so i can bring in heatran to absorb it.
Replace with Breloom, who resists all of fire's main weaknesses, beats Blissey, and provides Sleep support:
Breloom @ Toxic Orb Poison Heal Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SpAtk) EVs: 6 HP/ 252 Atk/ 252 Spd
Spore Substitute Seed Bomb Focus Punch
-or-
Breloom @ Toxic Orb Poison Heal Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SpAtk) EVs: 252 HP/ 252 Atk/ 6 Spd

The reason for the celebi was to resist the fire weaknesses and provide support Um, you Spore. this puts one of their guys to sleep, which is essentially a KO in the long run. Then you Sub on the swap, you Leech Seed, Seed Bomb or Punch like a MAD MAN. Once you have Leech Seed you heal 25% of your health per turn do to Poison Heal. Meaning, you guessed it, a sub a turn without any health loss overall. And they're losing 1/8 of their health per turn. Who wins? They have to swap, baiting another Focus Punch which, form Breloom, no one likes. Celebi is just not all that good because it means SpDefCBTar still rampages through the team after Ape goes down. Breloom is another check that also cripples whatever counter comes in to stop him. | |

But can he survive surfs and earthquakes? that's what Sub is for, for one, and for two yes. He resists them. It's difficult to OHKO with a resisted move. Especially if you use the Sub-Seeder set that maxes out HP. You get Spore and you beat that counter. Period. Plus he can absorb status due to Toxic Orb, unlike Celebi's psuedo status absorb via Natural Cure. Plus he resists Rock, meaning he resists SR. | |

| Wow, almost 50 posts!
Moltres has enough speed to OHKO most pokes, (tested this team out and he OHKO'd every poke) so im keeping him as a lead.
I think im going to keep infernape, it helped me alot in battles once arcanine got KO'd.
I think im going to replace arcnine with entei as a sunny day supporter.
Torkoal is here to get rid of SR, (there were no other fire types that learned rapid spin)
i'll make Tran a Scarftran too.
finally, ill decide whether or not to replace celebi with breloom. Celebi helped out alot during battles.
Also, in my gym battle team, i replaced torkoal with another pokemon.
Edit: never mind about the infernape comment, i just tested out a blaziken with Sky uppercut, EQ, Overheat, and HP grass, and it was alot better than infenape. | |

I'm just saying you don't want something that will lose half it's HP to rocks on a team weak to rocks. It can't beat an Aerodactyl lead no matter what it does. It can only run, letting Aero set up Rocks and basically killing your Birdy.
I think im going to keep infernape, it helped me alot in battles once arcanine got KO'd.
Good call, I only suggested Blaziken as an alternative if you don't like too many OU pokes.
I think im going to replace arcnine with entei as a sunny day supporter.
Then you need other Sunny Day users. Like a LeadTran that carries it.[/red]
Torkoal is here to get rid of SR, (there were no other fire types that learned rapid spin)
[color=red]What you want is either an out of typing Spinner (like Starmie) or you want a team that is meant to take minimal SR damage, so it becomes nearly negligible. That's why I say no Moltres.
i'll make Tran a Scarftran too.
ScarfTran or LeadTran, I'd personally suggest the latter, but the former does quite well also. Run Overheat > Fire Blast. You'll be swapping a lot so the SpAtk drop won't matter much, but the extra damage and accuracy will help out a lot
finally, ill decide whether or not to replace celebi with breloom. Celebi helped out alot during battles.
I was suggesting something that gives Sleep support, resists SR and all of Fire's weaknesses. Breloom seemed like the more obivous choice because of those reasons.
Also, in my gym battle team, i replaced torkoal with another pokemon.
Good plan Edit: never mind about the infernape comment, i just tested out a blaziken with Sky uppercut, EQ, Overheat, and HP grass, and it was alot better than infenape.
My set? If so, cool! If not...still cool! Good luck with that. I'd still suggest the use of Infernape because he doesn't take 1/4 from Rocks, though, and he can NP or SD and sweep quite well. | |
