Welcome to Gaia! ::

You use Meganium too?

OMFG. You have my respect, good sir.

You are the first person, other than me, i have ever met who likes Meganium and respects it as a good pokémon.

And my ability only affects n00b type pokémon.

Yup. In my opinion, Meganium and Venusaur are perfect for strategy play, as they are status nuke tankers.

They have moves which can cause status effects, they have a LOT of health. And also, they have moves like solar beam and frenzy plant.

So they can be used for so much. xD

I mostly base my teams on Meganium in advanced play.

Pokémon like Groudon are perfect matches, as he gets sunny day up as an ability instead of attack. (At least he did in 3rd gen. Not sure about 4th. Havent used it in a while. :/)

Then just make him do as much damage as possible and then let out Meganium and use Solar beam at your first turn. Lulz and teen rage ensues.

I just wish groudon was not a legendary. It would be cool to be able to use it in online play without being called a legend noob. :3

You know any other pokémon with that ability? I cant remember any at the moment...

I kinda hate advanced play. But you get used to it. :l

I liked the old battle system better. But that is just me. xD

Call it being old skool.

But i like Meganium so much, i constantly try to base teams around it.

It is hard, and the strategy may be hard to pull off because it is weak to a lot of stuff.

But it is still fun. If i want to make a really well balanced team, i would also use Vaporeon or even Umbreon with it. Umbreon can be a beast in sabotage teams if you got the right moveset. Trust me, Umbreon can lay heavy status and HP damage before it goes down, mainly because it is a frickin´ TANK.

I try to make weird strategies just for the heck of it. And thus far, Umbreon, Meganium, Venusaur, Gengar, Ludicolo (With rain dish, leftovers and rain dance) and Crobat have been really fun picks for sabotage and survival battles. (Sabotage missions being all about regaining as much hp as possible each turn and then attack, lowering your oponents HP while your own is being replenished each turn.)

I would say that Meganium would work for both. Considering it has synthesis. But i would use it for the same thing as you in most cases.

Also, the thing that may be fatal in battle, is its speed. That is why i see your reasoning in why you would not use it as a main pokémon.

If your opponent attacks faster, then you can lose Meganium quickly, considering its many weaknesses. :/

Oh well, i still love it. xD

I've always been an in Betweener :3
I absolutely adore the Old school but the new school is just as good too and offers even more than before. Happiness based pokemon are not hard to get in my case. (berries are your best friend when it comes to happiness based pokemons biggrin )

Nonono! I dont mean in the same team. xD

That would be horrible.

I mean i like those pokémon in general. I would not even think about putting them all in the same team. That would just be silly.

You'd be surprised, any pokemon can be badass :3
That sounds like a pretty good team to me, you wanna make sure that you have move sets that can handle any situations that themed pokemon will throw at you~

Have you ever heard of MagikarPwn?

IKR! Lol
I went up against a MagikarPwn once and won (but I had forgotten that the only works if the pokemon is at full health XDD)

Actually, that's not bad of a team. The only 2 I'd rid of though are Milotic (note: I've never used it) for either a Weezing, Tauros, a Gyrados (with Lagging Tail, Avalanche, & Payback), Heracross, or a Luxray; & Pidgeot with a Gardevoir, or a physical wall with stellar attack like Weezing again.
