I would like to reply to what you wrote, you might want to try an offesive and defensive pokemon, for example arceus or darkrai. Glad I could help :}

P.S. My favorite pokemon is Kyogre, as you can probably guess
By: Kyogreky on November 28, 2007
at 4:45 am
Hmm… here’s what I think.
Blissey: Awesome work! This Pokemon is ready for competitive battling!
Kyogre: Well… I would change Earthquake to a Ground-type Hidden Power, because it doesn’t benefit from its whopping Sp. Attack as it is now. Also, Water Spout might be a bit risky, especially if you’re facing a faster Uber (a pretty likely possibility).
Charizard: This is a good Bellyzard set. I would leave it as-is.
Lucario: Pretty good, although unless it is slightly defensive, I might go with Nasty Plot instead.
Groudon: Eruption should go down the drain, because not only is it testing your luck, but Groudon’s Special stats are not too good. Go with Fire Punch instead. Solarbeam is a viable option, but again, you may want to consider another move due to its shabby Specials.
I don’t know what your last Pokemon should be, but it may be worth noticing that Groudon and Kyogre together on a team may not work so well due to their conflicting abilities. (not to mention rivalries!) If you boot Groudon off, take Bellyzard off as well and replace it with Manaphy or Palkia, both of which take advantage of Rain Dance. (Manaphy with Rest-Rain-Hydration and Palkia with x2 STAB+Rain Dance Boost for its Water attacks) If you boot Kyogre then get another Pokemon which takes advantage of Sunny Day (eg. a Solarbeaming Grass-type, etc.)
By: shdowgroudon on December 4, 2007
at 5:29 pm
Can I ask you, what is a Bellyzard? I see people ALWAYS using it… what does it mean?
Alright… and do you mind rating my Super team? Still in the making, though… and yes, I have some NUs mixed in with NUs and stuff (ultimate pkmn strategy), I want my team as different as possible, and no legendaries either… oh yeah, and mind telling me some good items i could use for them?
Starmie (my Status…tical?/annoying pokemon)
Confuse Ray
Ice Beam
Toxic
Trick Room
Minun (just basically runs around and annoys the other team, after Starmie has used Trick Room)
Endure
Encore
Double Team
Grass Knot
Psyduck (ummm… basically an EV trained Pokemon who will beat the… uh… apples out of the opponent. yes, my psyduck will own your groudon! just kidding… it probably couldn’t even if it was EV trained)
Surf
Psychic
Iron Tail
Ice Beam
…i’ll continue it later.

P.S. Lol, I think you got Kyogre and Groudon mixed up in the above post… Groudon has sunny day, Kyogre’s got rain dance… sorry, just wanna point it out, no offence.

It’s an awesome disease that I think is even harder to get than shiny Pokemon. Your pokemon gets more EVS… I think. And me toooo! I’m dying for one.

Kyorgeky that is a great pokemon team,Blissy has mass Hp which is good i rate ur team…….. 8/10
The last pokemon could be a kabutops which is found underground as a fossel it starts a a kabuto at lvl 20 so ur goin have to lvl it up 20 lvls to evolve it.make it hold a focus Sash or a focus band the focu band and sash are found at the battle tower for 48 BP or at Pal Park in the old mans house he will tell u a number and u have to get a Pokemon the same lvl as the number. and ur Lucario should learn Me first which is really good.

im like Psyduck i dont use ledgendaries cause its cheating im goin use my team for pokemon battle revolution and my second team has 3 ledgendaries Kyorge Giratina and Palkia which means i have Pokemon Pearl
By: Justakid9(Zoopa Khan,I like pie) on January 3, 2008
at 1:40 pm
Well, it’s not really cheating, it’s just a bit unfair. People can take down legendaries with normal Pokemon, but if it’s a really well-trained legendary, it might be a bit harder, and you don’t want to use your Pokemon’s strength on killing one Pokemon when there’s five more to go. And if there’s five more to go, you’re doomed.
Well, maybe, unless you’re an incredibly good trainer.
By: Psyduck on January 4, 2008

And plus you could always trade. ^_^
Psyduck, I’m sorry I can’t rate at the moment but I’ll try to get back to you ASAP!
By: shdowgroudon on January 5, 2008

my torterra could take out a ledgendary its really well trained and plus i am a n incredible good trainer my turttwig was lvl 5 and it took out like 10 wild lvl 3 pokemon cause i used withdraw to raise its defence the wild pokemon only did 1 damage on me.and i cant wait till pokemon mystery dungeon 2 comes out here.
By: Justakid9(Zoopa Khan,I like pie) on January 10, 2008
at 12:26 pm
I know! It will probably come out in the Spring, but it could be delayed or finished early. Who are you guys going to be in Mystery Dungeon? I’m going to be a Mudkip (of course) with a Turtwig as my partner, and I’m only going to evolve Turtwig. Anyway, you are pretty good. Did you EV train your Turtwig and what Nature and IVs did it have?
Psyduck, I will rate your team in the next comment.
By: shdowgroudon on January 27, 2008

Starmie (my Status…tical?/annoying pokemon)
Confuse Ray
Ice Beam
Toxic
Trick Room
Starmie is… well… not the best. It’s made for Sweeping, despite its wide array of Status and Statistical moves. The reason? It can’t take any Choice boosted hits, and any Pokemon with high stats can OHKO it. Even a UU could beat a Defensive or Statistical Starmie in 2-3 hits. So although Toxic would be a pretty good move on a Pokemon like Bronzong, it doesn’t work so well on Starmie. I WOULD have Confuse Ray, however, because it will probably force a switch and give you a turn to Trick Room. Speaking of Trick Room… Starmie has wicked Speed. But if you use Trick Room, you’ll have the lowest Speed you’ve ever seen since Shuckle. However, Ice Beam is very good, and pairs with Thunderbolt well and can take down anything but Magnezone with one of the two, since hardly any Pokemon resist the BoltBeam combo. And you might want Surf instead of Trick Room and Psychic instead of Confuse Ray to make Starmie a full sweeper. However, this would ruin Minun and Psyduck, but no offense but Minun is a UU to (*gasp*) NU Pokemon, and you’d probably want to evolve Psyduck unless you’re like me and Mudkip. ^_^
Minun (just basically runs around and annoys the other team, after Starmie has used Trick Room)
Endure
Encore
Double Team
Grass Knot
Alright, for a Minun this is pretty decent. But why Endure? I know it has poor defensive stats, but you can’t use Endure forever. Encore and Double Team, though, that’s good. Just don’t use Encore on a pure Sweeper with a Choice item! Grass Knot is OK, I guess, but a lot more Pokemon are weak to Electric, unless you want to take down the likes of Swampert, Groudon and Kyogre in OU or Ubers! It’s not your fault, though. Overall, Minun just isn’t the best Pokemon. 😦
Psyduck (ummm… basically an EV trained Pokemon who will beat the… uh… apples out of the opponent. yes, my psyduck will own your groudon! just kidding… it probably couldn’t even if it was EV trained)
Surf
Psychic
Iron Tail
Ice Beam
But for a Psyduck, this is actually quite good. Except for the fact that Iron Tail is an Attack move. Just replace it with something else, like Amnesia, although I doubt it could take one hit, no offense.
Well, this team would be OK in UU, but it would be kind of unfair for your opponents because you have a Starmie, which belongs in OU, where Psyduck and Minun wouldn’t stand a chance. Where do you want to use this team? Or is it an in-game team? I can’t give you suggestions for items or the remaining three Pokemon without knowing, because your team is being torn apart by the Tier split.

Sorry about that, but I’m trying to help you make it better.

Legendaries aren’t all that powerful, really. There are so many counters I could list that it ain’t funny. And what about Tyranitar, Salamence, Metagross, or those other 600 base total pokes? They have equal base total as other legendaries such as Deoxys(all forms), Cresselia, Darkrai, Manaphy, etcetera.
It’s only how you use the pokes that determine your skill/outcome of winning, not legend this, legend that bs.
