Stop posting Will. Don't ever post unless it is to better the sight. This team seems like a great idea to me. Don't bash something that you cannot possibly comprehend.

[EDIT] I didn't have FrogJedi's sig an exact quote so I wanted fix that.

Yay for Haze! Anyway, this is probably the best Arbok can get, so stick with it.

Nope. This Seaking is my fave: Horn Drill, Agility, Endure, Flail @ Leftovers. No Ghost support, but meh. :P

This should work pretty well. It's pretty much my parattract Hypno with T-bolt instead of Psychic. I'm not liking your massive use of leftovers so far, though. Might want to attach a Miracleberry.

*sigh* I guess so. I used to use Tangela, but I replaced it with a Noctowl.

Why Protect? Use Minty Rest so you can Counter more than once. :P

Very good, though Dugtrio is a weakling.

Actually, he who disses Wigglytuff shall be smited. Many times. And stuff.

I love how you said all you think about are original sets. I decided to actually look at one of your teams, and here's what I saw.

A Curse/Extremespeed Dragonite.
A Standard Scizor.
A slightly off-standard Machamp (Has Light Screen and Counter).
A standard Kingdra.
A standard Magmar.

After protect (and two uses of leftovers), he can recover about 57 HP. Not to bad if you ask me.

While Trio can only recover 32 HP after two turns.

::deep breath::

Normally I don't let these sorts of posts get under my skin. After all, it's a game, and anyone can play. This means you have to tolerate people you wouldn't normally want to be around, but tolerance really isn't that much to ask. Someday I'll go on a rant about all the homophobes here at AH, but right here right now, will, you've really pissed me off.

The one thing I do NOT tolerate is intolerance.

My words of wisdom are simple:
The only thing you need to be able to do well in today's world to survive is be able to get along with your peers. This takes two things: a kind heart and an open mind. A sense of humour helps sometimes too.

Will, go ahead and post whatever you want, call yourself original, dis other teams all you want, no one can make you offer explanations. I won't give you any crap.

But there is one thing that bothered me, will. I'm not trying to be pc. Catch me at home, and I'm typically anything but pc. But that's my business, unlike what is said here, which is everyone's business.

Will, how old are you? What the hell were you thinking with your 22, mcdonalds remark? Where were you going with that one? Were you making fun of someone because they have more experience than you, or were you making fun of someone because they can't get money from their parents and have to work to pay for their own necessities? I'm not 22 and I've never worked at Mcdonalds. I am 18, however, and I have worked at some pretty shitty places to get to where I am now, college.

So who the hell are you?

Who the hell are you?

Please, tell about the great struggles of your life, or maybe the great achievements you already have under your belt, or the sense of joy you bring to your friends and your community, or whatever the fuck you have to be proud of. Please, tell me. Tell me what in your life makes you proud. Jesus christ. Someday, you will will be 22, and you will work at Mcdonalds, and it will be terrible, it will really suck, and hopefully you will remember this post and realize how stupid it was to brandish the words "twenty-two" and "mcdonalds" like they were bad words. Someday you will grow up, and hopefully you will be a good deal smarter then you are right now.

And I changed my team, BTW, SD. That post is outdated.

Those insults were meant towards SD, not to Silver_Persian. The one about the teams is just simply things I felt I had to say to Silver_Persian.

And TGhost and the others, I don't know who the hell you are, I never did anything, or say any word against you, but you come out and attack me. Well here's a word against you: MIND YOUR OWN DAMN BUISNESS!

Honestly, I'd forget about trying to make seaking a viable special attacker. He learns sleeptalk and rest and horn drill, I believe. Try just those three, and mystery berry or even focus band if you're a gambling man.

I say go with protect. It's good filler for pokes with leftovers, and you've got plenty of room for filler with pokes like those.

Exactly. No more games of flame the n00b on here. Remember, he claims to have his e-mail address in his sig. Any more "indecent" and "vulgar" language should be sent via e-mail so that any "virgin ears" here don't have to listen to this "nonsense" being posted about any n00bs.

Back to the rating…You used Arbok: simply extraordinaire. I like the set itself, since Poison+Ground gives Arbok pretty good type coverage…Yeah, it gets screwed by Skarmory…like thousand other more common pokèmon. Maybe Miracleberry for its not bad Speed?

For Seaking, you may want to try this set: Substitute, Flail, Rest, Surf/Double-Edge/Return/Hydro Pump @Mint Berry. The point is to attack freely until Seaking is at about 32% or such: put a Substitute up. Now, you’ll have a Seaking protected by a Sub with a full-power Flail running off a 282 attack going against a pokèmon that will never expect something like that. With Rest, you could do the trick more than once.

For Ampharos, I’d suggest Safeguard over Attract, and Miracleberry over Leftovers. It gives you some status protection, not to mention many people nowadays use female/genderless pokèmon Attract is ineffective against. If you change it this way, making Ampharos your starter wouldn’t be a bad idea.

And, I never battled with Tangela, so it’s likely I’m just saying stupid oddities, but wouldn’t the vine wrapped thingie do better with Amnesia in a world where any decent non-Grass/Electric/Water Special attack would put a big dent in its 333 HP? Also, with an average number of hit points like that, Tangela can’t afford the recoil from DE at full power. Maybe: Sleep Powder, Amnesia, Giga Drain Hp-something with Leftovers?

Probably, Wiggly would benefit more from Minty Rest (with Rest over Protect), so that it could also heal itself status-wise (being fully paralyzed/poisoned/burned doesn’t help Countering… .

Dugtrio: Fissure is an interesting last resort over Screech. I assume you have Leftovers to help Dugtrio put some more Substitute…Yeah, keep it. It’s a nice way to stop annoyers and OHKOers.

I'm afraid Arbok won't last long enough to haze. Sure, can haze Cursers, but not other alterers. It's not that fast, and will get killed in no time. Still the best it can get.
I like Seaking. That is, if Speed still affects OHKOs.

Ampharos' kinda screwed up against Grounds. But, again, I wouldn't think you'd leave it against one. Watch out, though, because you have a 2x... I suggest Light Screen to help Tangela.

Speaking of the walking weed, I'd put Body Slam over DE. It's a Grass, after all.

Wiggly needs Minty Rest over Protect, as said.
