• Welcome to The Cave of Dragonflies forums, where the smallest bugs live alongside the strongest dragons.

    Guests are not able to post messages or even read certain areas of the forums. Now, that's boring, don't you think? Registration, on the other hand, is simple, completely free of charge, and does not require you to give out any personal information at all. As soon as you register, you can take part in some of the happy fun things at the forums such as posting messages, voting in polls, sending private messages to people and being told that this is where we drink tea and eat cod.

    Of course I'm not forcing you to do anything if you don't want to, but seriously, what have you got to lose? Five seconds of your life?

My Fire PO team...

I'm not the best. and never will be. But this is my Fire team which actually scored me a Gym Leader spot in a
small league in a PO server.
Mostly this is a triples team. (And I'm aware of some of my pokemon might
be banned due to ability, move, etc. from major servers such as Smogon. I pay no heed to them.)

But yea. Ill take recommendations, just dont totally correct me on my errors...

Special attacker arcanine? You're putting all those new gen V counter moves to waste!

(wild charge close combat)
 
@Lirris Hmmm... Maybe you over looked a few things? First, Id like to point out the Charizard. Solar Power+ Choice specs... With that build of charizard, the SP ATT is over 700. Combine that with STAB on Heat Wave or Air Slash... Also, Typhlosion. If you have something that knows Eruption, Then it should really move first. I Scarf it for that reason. First strike is a must with it because Eruption loses power when Typhlosion takes damage.

@Lord of the Fireflies
I never lead with Ninetales unless its
A: Triples
B: Very clear that I can sweep with it (Yes, that has happened)

Sometimes I pack (and even lead with in triples) a Vulpix if my opponet has one of those pesky Polytoeds that have been hopping all over the place just to seriously annoy them, switching to take advantage of the Abosrb bulb. (Mostly scarfed using confuse ray, it works, I've pulled it off way too many times)

@KR-9 I am well aware of the moves it can learn. I do Wild Charge if I see that my opponet will be using Rain teams.

I am Not resticted to just this team. (I forgot to mention that, Silly me)

Variety? This is a monotype, you need all the coverage you can get.
... Not that it really helps at all. Except for maybe against fighting types.
 
But brave Bird doesn't hit much Heat Wave can't.

Flying is super-effective against: Grass, Bug, Fighting

Fire is super effective against: Grass, Bug, Steel

You only miss the coverage on fighting-types, and most of them that are OU will take more damage from Sun-boosted flare blitz anyways,

120 x 1.5 (STAB) x 1.5 (SUN) > 120 x 2 (super-effective)
 
Yes, I see your point.

Those move on the Blaziken are mainly dictated by what everyone else on the server uses. T-Tars are heavily abused. But I like the Flare Blitz in sun, catch those danged Skarmoy off guard with a possible OHKO from a physical attack!

Hopefully, all of this help will win me more matches. (Win- lose ratio is about 5-2)
I might even post the log if I remember to save it. (Which is not often)
