The ShadowBlade Academy

[ShadowBlade]

Hey! This is my training thread, glad you stopped by. Here you can apply for one on one lessons with me in various fields in Pokemon Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum here.

I can help you with:

• EV's and how to EV train- You need to know this, and it's easy.
• Strategies and Team Building Tips (RMT's, movesets, etc...) - PMing it to me is the best way to RMT. Just send me your team and I'll give you some improvements to make it a winning team.
• Battle Tactics - Prediction, typing, different forms of battling. All that good stuff. If you apply for this, then I'll battle you to see where you need help.
• Clauses - Just a lesson in all of the clauses
• Anything else you need to know in-game - Why isn't my pokemon having an egg? Where's the move tutor? I can help with all those questions. I probably have an understanding of other concepts that you're unfamiliar with as well.

NOTE: OU is my specialty. Ubers is not. And I'm pretty good with UU. Just a heads up. ;]

Contacting me is pretty easy. I'm usually on MSN/Yahoo and AIM. I'd rather tutor through instant messaging so those are your best bet. colrickian@yahoo.com is my yahoo account and just tell me your AIM and I'll add you. We can also use this site's chat.

Please be prepared to work hard and to have a desire to learn what you ask me to teach. Sometimes you may not get it at first, but the great thing about having an one on one teaching experience with me is that I can make sure you get it. You just need patience.

If you're applying for my services, please fill out this form in your post.

Tip of the Day

Don't just rely on one sweeper or wall alone. Always use "synergy," so you can make a sweeping combo. Like Hitmonlee and Spritiomb, Salamence and Metagross, Heatran and Celebi, Electivire and Gyarados, or Skarmory and Latias. That way the other can take each other's weaknesses, counters, etc. Don't be afraid to use three pokemon in a combo, like vaporeon or suicune onto the Celetran combo.

You'll find this to be VERY effective.

Custom Movesets


Arcanine @ LO
Adamant
Flash Fire
252 Atk/252 Spe/6 Hp
- Flare Blitz
- X-Speed
- Thunder Fang
- Reversal

The heart of this set is to make arcanine a suicide killer, but deal massive amounts of damage and get a number of surprise kills. Life orb on Arcanine gives it a nice 455 attack. Flare blitz is for a powerful STAB move. Thunder fang kills Gyarados (which it outspeeds before a DD). X-speed kills sashers, faster pokermans, and is a good cleaning move. Then Reversal is for killing steel and rock and rock pokemon which should be effective since its HP will be lower enough form all of the recoil to do a lot of damage.

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=


Uxie @ Choice Scarf
Nature: Impish
EV's: 252 HP / 104 Def / 152 Spe
- Trick
- Stealth Rock
- Imprison
- Psychic / U-turn

152 speed EV's give you a speed of 396 with choice scarf, which allows you to out speed the majority of leads. Trick slower leads like Tyranitar to make them utterly useless. Imprison makes leads unable to use stealth rock and u-turn and trick. CS leads predict a normal uxie so they usually trick which is completely pointless, allowing you to set up SR. Psychic kills Infernape and hurts Heracross a bit (change the nature to bold if you use this). However U-turn is good for scouting.

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-


Meganium @ Leftovers / Life Orb
Nature: Adamant
Ev's: 244 HP / 216 Atk / 48 SpD

- Power Whip / Seed Bomb
- Earthquake
- Light Screen / Synthesis
- Synthesis / Swords Dance

Power Whip and Seed Bomb, again, is a choice of power over accuracy or accuracy over power. Earthquake OHKOs Heatran on the switch and deals a hell load amount on Magnezone. Light Screen to prevent the significant amount of damage Heatran's Fire Blast, and other dangerous special attacks, will do. Swords Dance is quite self-explanatory here, but you may choose Synthesis if you're looking for a recovery move.

244 HP / 48 SpD may not allow you to survive Scarftran's Fire Blast, but you will be 2HKO'd by it with Light Screen support.

**Thanks to Fierce Deity on MP for making this set.

Houndoom @ Liechi Berry / Salac Berry
Nature: Adamant
Ev's: 252 Atk / 252 Spd / 4 HP

- Endure
- Sucker Punch / Crunch
- Reversal
- Thunder Fang

Cool set I made. :3

Endure, activate liechi berry and you have a 459 attack, sucker punch with STAB that destroys anything frail and faster than you, a 200 base power fighting move that has great coverage with sucker punch, and the surprise factor since you're opponent would expect a special attacker variant. T-fang is for Gyarados.

You can also use this set with Salac Berry and replacing sucker punch with Crunch. More of a debate between speed and powah.

Celebi @ Leftovers
Nature: Bold
Ev's: 252 hp / 216 def / 32 speed / 8 spdef
- Grass Knot
- Leech Seed
- Stealth Rock
- U-turn

Will add description later.

Oh, glad to have you in here. :]

Added you, and for other people, I'm going to stop accepting members for the time being. More then 5 apprentices ain't good IMO.
