Hello all!
I want to make a team with Ho-oh and Groudon for certain. I have already caught the Ho-oh, although not yet trained it - It is Adamant and has 31 Speed (amongst other excellent IVs) so I could do either the Physical Attacker or Choice Band/Scarf sets.
There are three complications with the team:
1. I am limited to non-promotional Pokemon from Heart Gold and Platinum only. I'm doing a real life Wi-Fi team with no hacks, so I don't have access to special promotions like Jirachi and Deoxys. I can, however, get Darkrai and Shaymin if I really need to (would like to avoid it).
2. Runner-types from the aforementioned games will be VERY difficult to control for because of their running nature. This means that although I can GET Mesprit, Cresselia, Entei, Raikou, and Latias, I am not likely to find one suitable for play.
3. I am getting my friend's Groudon and I only have until Friday to catch it before I need to return his game.
Quick list of legends I have access to (and am able to easily SR):
Articuno, Zapdos, Moltres, Mewtwo, Suicune, Ho-oh, Lugia, Groudon, Kyogre, Rayquaza, Dialga, Palkia, Giratina (NOT Giratina-O due to real-life Wi-Fi restrictions), Heatran, and MAYBE Darkrai and Shaymin
My main question is, what Groudon build should I hunt for, and do you have any suggestions for team members? I am thinking that with Ho-oh, Groudon, and inevitably Forretress, I need a Stealth Rock user, so maybe I should base Groudon around that. In that respect, I could either go with the Adamant one, or the differently-built Careful one, or even the Sassy Lead.
http://www.smogon.com/dp/pokemon/groudon - Easy reference to Groudon. If you have any recommendations on how to build Ho-oh too, I'll take those. Groudon and Ho-oh are the reasons I am building the team at all, just FYI, and I want the team built around them.
The reason why I am asking instead of just going out and testing them on Shoddy is because I don't have the time! I have until Friday to not only decide on Groudon, but SR and catch it!
Thanks!
EDIT: Of course, I have access to breeding any and ALL non-legendary Pokemon. The team doesn't have to be 100% legendary :)
