hgss

I wanted to see how I did with a different team in HGSS, sticking with what’s obtainable in one game.

STARMIE @Life Orb
ABILITY : Natural Cure
MODEST Nature [EVs: 6 HP, 252 Sp.Atk, 252 Speed]
Psychic / Surf / Ice Beam / Thunderbolt

pretty much served the same role latios did in previous teams.

ARCANINE @Choice Band
ABILITY : Intimidate
JOLLY Nature [EVs: 6 HP, 252 Atk, 252 Speed]
Flare Blitz / Crunch / Iron Head / ExtremeSpeed

...pretty much served the same role infernape did, but less useful overall due to having less speed, no close combat or u-turn.

DRAGONITE @Lum Berry
ABILITY : Inner Focus
JOLLY Nature [EVs: 6 HP, 252 Atk, 252 Speed]
Outrage / Earthquake / ExtremeSpeed / Dragon Dance

used the same dragonite for the battle hall, replaced dragon dance and/or extremespeed w/ fire punch/flamethrower depending on the type.
don’t remember what order I handled the types since I didn’t plan it beforehand.

overall, this team was nowhere near as reliable and required a lot more luck to win. if I ran into an aerodactyl or opposing starmie in the tower, more often than not it meant the streak was over.
