I am about to challenge the 6th gym, and wanted some feedback on my team! Do you think I can beat the gym with this team? Have any suggestions for my team?
If you have any suggestions for my team (i.e. Item changes, move changes, etc.) It would be much appreciated as I am about to take on “The hardest gym in the game” and I know I’ll need it.
If you’re looking to improve your team, here are a few quick suggestions which would certainly help without having to swap in different Pokemon.
Scizor
Consider swapping out Scope Lens for an offensive item such as Life Orb, and then teaching your Scizor Hone Claws over Close Combat. This remedies the Icicle Crash accuracy issue while turning Scizor into a boosting powerhouse. Drain Punch helps with LO recoil.
In a similar vein, keep the Scope Lens and teach it Bulk Up over Close Combat. You get a boosting monster if it gets a chance to set up. This is a better long-term option, in my personal opinion.
Don’t lead with Scizor. Sableye shits on him.
Marowak
Give it Thick Club. This can be purchased from the Black Market and doubles Marowak’s attack. You already have another Mega, so Marowite is redundant.
Since you’re going to the Black Market anyway, teach it Dark Custom over Bone Rush or Headbutt. Bonemerang is largely superior and you don’t need two Ground moves. Replace Headbutt with coverage too.
Electivire and Delta Venusaur
Try diversifying both their movesets with whatever TMs you have.
Just some changes you can make real quick and for little cost that will largely benefit your team without detracting from its offensespam nature.
I find that leading with Scizor isn’t all that bad, as Scizors Night Slash often KO’s Sableye but agree that Close Combat can be switched out with Bulk Up, as for Scope Lens, I want the Scope Lens to boost the Critical Chance already given with Night Slash. I have gotten my Dark Custom Move in replacement for Headbutt, and I will consider any other options you gave me
