6. Altaria Lv.55 Im working on trying to make it even with the team

Moves (Dragon Dance, Draco Meteor, Hyper Beam, Ice Beam)

Which 3 of my pokemon should I use and what can I improve?...

Answer 1

you should use metagross, altaria and infernape out of them i'd say are the best and one pokemon i always use is golem if you level it up properly it has great defense and a pretty decent offense  

Answer 2

yes

Answer 3

looks good! but how about a plant type?

Answer 4

Metagross, Infernape, Floatzel  and the others improve

Answer 5

Metagross Heracross and Altaria try to get them all to lvl 66  

Answer 6

Hmm, you should use Infernape, Metagross, and Altaria. Replace Altaria with something like Salamence, since he has Altaria beat in Attack. It should look like this

Salamence @ Focus Sash

Adamant nature

252 Attack / 252 Speed / 6 HP

- Dragon Dance

- Dragon Claw

- Earthquake

- Stone Edge

Focus Sash will make sure you live a Super Effective attack, I would say Yache Berry but to many things pack Rock and Dragon moves in the Battle Tower. Use Dragon Dance once (or twice if you can live) and mess up the other team

Now for that Infernape. Infernape has Calm Mind, why? It serves no purpose on him. Breed another one (Ditto can breed with anything, including males, and give you a Chimchar) do not evolve it until it learns Nasty Plot at level 23. Now make it look like this

Infernape @ Life Orb

Naive or Hasty nature

252 Spc. Attack / 232 Speed / 24 Attack

- Nasty Plot

- Flamethrower

- Grass Knot

- Close Combat

Set up with Nasty Plot, use Grass Knot on anything that is weak to it, Flamethrower on everything else. Use Close Combat on anything that can live through something like a boosted Flamethower / Grass Knot (Rock/Steel types, and Blissey) It's frail, but it can dish out so much damage..

For Metagross, it is meant to have physical attacks, Special attacks on that is a waste. I would say put a Choice Band on it and make it like this

Metagross @ Choice Band

Adamant

252 HP / 252 Attack / 6 Defense

- Meteor Mash

- Earthquake

- Explosion

- Bullet Punch

I changed the EV spread on this a little, if you want you can use

252 HP / 244 Attack / 12 Defence. I think that this is a bit of a waste as those EVs are meant to survive an Adamant Dugtrio with a Choice Band using Earthquake, something the Battle Tower doesn't have. Real simple, use a move and dish out awesome damage, not much will survive the Explosion, and if they are faster than you and have low health, use Bullet Punch to get them. Earthquake for things that resist all the other moves.

Alright, I think you should use the team I suggested in this order

Salamence first

Infernape second

Metagross third

Use Metagross only on the last Pokemon, or if you know what they have as the other pokemon. The Battle Tower is extremely frustrating, so it takes some time to get used to it. You will need a lot of luck to get to >100 wins, or a really good team.
