Current XD team. Decided to use a team consisting solely of Pokespot encounters and Duking's trades. Since most of these Pokemon are Rock or Ground, I decided to put together a Sand team.
>Larvitar
I never realized how good Duking's trades were as a kid, D-Dance Tyranitar sounds fucking sick. Haven't had him for long, but he just got Rock Slide, which is nice.
>Aron
Tanky lil' fella, and hits hard too. It sucks that the Aron line doesn't get any Ground moves by level up outside of Mud Slap. I'm already planning on giving the Earthquake TM to my Trapinch, so Aron will have to make due with Dig.
>Meditite
Duking's other trade that I decided to use. Meditite comes with Dynamic Punch, but I prefer Brick break's consistency. The plan is to make him a mixed attacker with Brick Break/ Shadow Ball/ Psychic/ Calm Mind. Not ideal, but I desperately need ways of dealing with fighting types.
>Trapinch
Trapinch is... trying his best. I completely forgot how dire Trapinch's learnset is in Gen III. He only has three moves right now: Bite, Sand-Attack, and Faint Attack. Since Dark is special, Trapinch can't even use that "fuck-off" huge attack stat of his. To make matters worse, he's Adamant and even giving him the Black Glasses can't save his piss-poor damage. I know it'll be worth it in the end when he's a Flygon, but he's easily the weakest link in the team right now.
>Golbat
Despite dealing 0(zero) fucking damage before getting Wing Attack, he's actually been pretty good at locking down problematic enemies with flinch and confusion. He's had the Soothe Bell since I got him at Lv. 10, so I should have a Crobat sooner or later. Overall, solid team member.
>Quagsire
Hands down the MVP of the team so far. Twice now Quagsire has clutched out a win from a 2v1 situation. and that was before he evolved. Water Absorb is huge for this team and the Electric immunity is nice as well. Love this big nigga like you would not believe.
