I'm planning to conquer this game. I've been playing crystal and red alongside it for some trades/old tms/legendaries for my teams on the different cups. I had the game as a kid, but honestly just duked it out against my friends with the rentals because I never had a gameboy until the gba.
I was planning something more straightforward at first, and I have about 7 mons up to level 50, but now I want to try some spicy memes.
Here's my planned team for the Poke Cup (lv 50-55)
Smeargle @quick claw (LVL55)
-spore
-lock on
-fissure
-horn drill
Umbreon @bright powder (LVL50)
-double team
-sand attack
-mean look
-baton pass
Starmie @miracle berry (LVL 50)
-thunder wave
-confuse ray
-psychic
-surf
Houndoom @przcure berry (LVL50)
-flamethrower
-crunch
-sunny day
-solar beam
Machamp @leftovers (LVL50)
-curse
-cross chop
-earthquake
-rock slide
Snorlax @mint berry (LVL55)
-rest
-double edge
-earthquake
-sleeptalk
For those unfamiliar, you pick 3 mons for each battle, and the combined levels can't exceed 155, so I have two level 55 pokemon and the rest 50 to mix up. Smeargle must be level 55 so that his OHKO moves will not have 0% accuracy against a higher level opponent. The first three are the smeargle meme core, lead starmie to status something so that umbreon will have an easier time setting up evasion. Mean look + sand attack will be useful to give smeargle the maximum odds of winning. Spore is for the next two pokemon, or if they're healthy enough, I can go back out to the other two and try to setup again if I don't want to risk smeargle.
The last three members are a generally strong core that handle each other's weaknesses. Starmie can sub in for any members in order to act as a fighting resist and fast attacker. Umbreon can be used with the other core as well to setup evasion, making snorlax's job easier.
Tell me if this is retarded, also I am considering trying to bring it to the prime cup as well.
