How is Dragalge, anyway? I didn't think it stood out much, but I suppose it does? How has it been for you?
Tornadus can be pretty powerful, despite it being mono-typed! Prankster sure does a lot for it, and it's a pretty great sweeper! Zapdos is also great, and Articuno with Mind Reader and Sheer Cold is amazing!
And that's true. I actually don't have any experience in programming, so I would really appreciate a programming club to kind of show me the ropes! Maybe that's another thread I should psot.
The only problem with Drizzle is that it rules out Swift Swim, which can be a real pain, especially since Ludicolo is such a great Pokémon to have on a Rain Team! I suppose you could also give it Rain Dish, but still; Ludicolo is somewhat slow.
And that's true; maybe Surf, then, because honestly I don't like Hydro Pump that much thanks to its low PP. I gave Greninja Spikes because it makes him Ground-type, and a lot of people will try to knock it out with an Electric move on the first turn! And that's a great point, with Breloom, I'll make sure to keep that in mind! I'm not sure why I picked Electric; possibly because Breloom is weak to Flying, and it can get out in a pinch. I gave Gliscor Substitute and Protect because Protect fails in succession, and it's a Toxic-staller. I might give it Taunt, though (its Ability does work to heal it, I think).
