pokemon platinum team

[magmavire]

basically i need a way to utilise my teams to their full potential.my pokemon are Electivire magmortar magnezone scyther lucario and someone who flys.They need to have moves they can learn by level 50.

Not much info here. K, first off, your team has a big weakness to ground. Might want to change that. And why scyther instead of scizor? Or mabye heracross? Other than that, there are still questions to be asked. Do you want a physical attacking electivire or a mixed? Does your magnezone fill a special attakcer or a supporter status? And what do you want out of Magmortar? A specs user, or maybe a scarf runner? As for a flyer, I love to use togekiss, so try that. If you want accurate opinions, give us more details, like what flying type you want.

with the restrictions (must learn by 50?)m this isn't competitive battling.

In-game teams don't really require much thought to them. Just have a team that can cover up the weaknesses of the other members.

Replace one of these guys with a good water-type. Mantine's great if you like to stall (and has nice synergy with Electivire's Motor Drive).

A physical electivire special magnezone and mantine if it learns fly. This team wasn't very well thought out its mostly my favs.

 

[1. Luftballon]

for electivire, *punch and cross chop is standard physical, with expert belt, hitting 12 of 17 for 2.4x damage. (the others are ghost, fight, poison, electric, psychic.) I prefer tbolt instead of tpunch, and eq over cross chop, and hp ice if I can get it, but that would be a mixed set.

magnezone tends to have tbolt, flash cannon, hp fire, explosion, with a choice scarf, though you might not be able to get hp fire. replace flash cannon if you want, but there aren't any really good alternatives.

mantine doesn't learn fly.

(try not to use fly unless you don't have anything better. fly is ridiculously suboptimal unless the enemy can't hit you while you're up there. thunder is pretty common. especially in übers.)

The best moveset (In my opinion) for a physical Electivire is Ice Punch, Thunder Punch, Earthquake, and either Brick Break or Cross Chop.(CC requires either breeding or PBR) That hits 13 out of 17 types for a super efffective hit. Why must it be before lvl. 50? If this is game, you do know that in the Frontier, if they're over level 50, the keep their moveset for the current level, just not the stats. I'm not sure about this in PBR, though.

Its for a tournament at school even though now that i think about it im not sure thats competitive battleing.

Rule 1: You can win the games with whatever you want to use. Yes, even that.
Rule 2: If you try that against a competitive battler, you're screwed. Yes, even with that.
