Creating a good competitive team

By OneCryptickilla
- 26 Jul 2014 15:15 #132962 Ok, trying to create a competitive team for pixelmon but I have little to no idea where to start. Any ideas for a lineup? My first 3 pokemon I planned on using were DX Dragonite, Gengar, and Starmie. I don't really know what's good competitively on pixelmon Dx thoughts or suggested moveset would be very much appreciated, I really just have no idea where do go from here otherwise I wouldn't be asking.

- 26 Jul 2014 15:33 #132967 Dragonite, Gengar, and Starmie are all fine choices for good competitive Pokémon. As for movesets:

Dragonite
-Dragon Dance
-Outrage/Dragon Claw
-Earthquake
-Stone Edge/Fire Punch/Fire Blast
Note that Fire Punch is very hard to get as it requires you to get lucky with a wild Dragonite.

Gengar
-Shadow Ball
-Focus Blast
-Choose two of Sludge Bomb/Thunderbolt/Energy Ball/Will-o-Wisp

Starmie
-Hydro Pump/Surf
-Thunderbolt
-Ice Beam
-Rapid Spin/Psychic
If entry hazards are common in your environment, use Rapid Spin. If not, use Psychic.

To comment on Luxray/Ampharos, they are both a bit slow and lack good movepools. Lucario will be a nice choice once it's implemented.

I think I'm planning dragon claw and fire punch for Dragonite, but I don't know what his EV spread should be as a prefered. Should I go bulky or sweeper? Know anymore pokemon to choose from for now? I Litterally have no clue xD

For Pokémon that are good, I'm not going to railroad you into specific ones at this point, but you can examining all available Pokémon here and see which ones you like in terms of stats, typing, and movepools.
