D/P/Pt Platinum Battle Tower Team

Yeah. I'm trying to build a team for the battle tower in Pt, and I think I need some help with it x_x I'm having issues selecting a third member, so anything anyone thinks would be better than the one I currently have would be nice.


Togekiss (M) @ King's Rock
Serene Grace
Modest
252 Spd/252 SpAtk/6 HP
-Nasty Plot
-Aura Sphere
-Air Slash
-Roost

A pretty good lead/sweeper. It's not what I usually use my Togekiss(es..?) for, but effective.

Vaporeon (M) @ Leftovers
Water Absorb
Bold
252 SpDef/252 Def/6 SpAtk
-Wish
-Surf
-Ice Beam
-Acid Armour/Signal Beam

This thing is an amazing wall. I stalled Palmer's Milotic to death, and took out his Dragonite and Rhyperior with one just like this in Pearl.

Whiscach (F) @ Muscle Band
Anticipation
Adamant
252 Atk/252 Spd/6 HP
-Earthquake
-Surf
-Spark/Rest
-Zen Headbutt/Sleep Talk

Now this last guy I'm not sure about... Someone recommended I try one out, but I dunno how well it'd work. Resttalking might work well, but Spark is kind of amusing.

What exactly do you have to do? and It's against the game, not other players, right?

Oh, it's just for normal Battle Tower play, but if it proves good enough I may take it over to the WiFi rooms...

It looks pretty good, but since this is for Battle Tower, you might want something with Sturdy somewhere.

If you go for WiFi Battle Tower, make sure you have a Pokemon with Fire Fang.

Works. Somewhat difficult to use against faster opponents, however.

I'd opt Toxic for the fourth slot. It'll let you beat other water-types that don't carry it more easily.

Spark is more for novelty, Stone Edge would be better. You're better off using Aqua Tail as a water move since you've basically neutered its SpA and you have Vaporeon; meaning you should treat Whiscash as more of a ground-type. That said, Swampert (in particular), Gastrodon, and Quagsire all have a nudge-up on him as a Water/Ground.

It should be fine, i've been running the exact same Togekiss build for over a year(as a starter on my ex-main team). Roost really compliments it's more than reliable defenses.

Yeah, Aqua Tail or waterfall would both make a better selection over Surf.
I'd consider teaching it Magnitude > Earthquake, just for shits and giggles (but don't do that if it already knows EQ).
