welcome to calamity! we are an au pokemon site based in hoenn. we do not have canons so you can pick them as your fcs! we have a short one hundred word word count. and you get to also pick your own starter! calamity is going to focus on providing users with a good and stable plot line to follow. this helps each character progress and some might even have a play in affecting the plot! we hope you enjoy your time here and if you have any questions don't be afraid to ask.
hey guys! we've finally hit our three month mark! let's stay strong. the activity check and gala have ended, if your character has been archived and you need them back please pm one of the admins! unfortunately, noods has steped down from his admin position. make sure you say your goodbyes here!

So I've been having issues creating a team. Before I begin I suppose I should mention there are two ultimate goals. These are very common goals and I'm sure you'd all agree the first is easy enough to meet.
1.) Prepare a team that can defeat all of the Gyms/Elite Four/Champion, aka good Type Coverage. 2.) Create a Team that can actually provide a competitive use, for dueling you guys on site. 3.) Must use Mamoswine.
Alright, so I'm going to try listing quick what I'd like to use/keep on my pokemon as far as moves, abilities and whatnot.
[#1] Broski - (Thick Fat)
Moves: Freeze-Dry, Ice Shard, Earthquake, Endure, Ancient Power/Icicle Crash, Endeavor
[#2] Bidada - (Mold Breaker)
Moves: Crunch, Rock Slide, Parting Shot, Poison Jab, Circle Throw, Knock Off
[#3] Salem - (Limber)
Moves: Play Rough, Feint Attack, Power Gem, Shadow Claw, Fake Out, Iron Tail

When I make a Team, I try to get the three "Primary types" down which means basically a Fire Type, a Water Type, and a Grass/Electric Type. That being said here a Pokemon that I believe would fit well in to this team.
Seismitoad - Water Absorb - Relaxed Toxic - Stealth Rock - Scald - Earthquake - Drain Punch - Ice Punch
I know what you're thinking.
"Zerk mayne y u put dis Water Magmar forehead twerking rip off on this post mayne."
Or
"WATER THOSE!!!" See what I did there?
And my reply is: I love twerking
No, seriously this thing is a beast, well second to Swampert, but he's s rare. I'm trying to aim for achievable and good Pokemon here. I put up a prett weird move set, most comp battlers would agree, but uh it's a whole new playing field in RP. Since his only weakness is grass you best stay away from that, and try to predict your opponents water moves to heal up Seismitoad late game.

So I've been having issues creating a team. Before I begin I suppose I should mention there are two ultimate goals. These are very common goals and I'm sure you'd all agree the first is easy enough to meet.
1.) Prepare a team that can defeat all of the Gyms/Elite Four/Champion, aka good Type Coverage. 2.) Create a Team that can actually provide a competitive use, for dueling you guys on site. 3.) Must use Mamoswine, Drapion. Alakazam and Mienshao are my other would-use-if-possibles.
Alright, so I'm going to try listing quick what I'd like to use/keep on my pokemon. I'll list moves that I want to keep unmarked, moves that have been recommended with a single asterisk, and abilities that I'm considering but are questionable with a double asterisk.
[#1] Mamoswine - Snow Cloak/(Thick Fat**)
Moves: Freeze-Dry (Blizzard if you choose to go the Hail route), Ice Shard, Hail*, Endure*, Flail (to take advantage of Endure and Hail) and (Definitely Earthquake) Icicle Crash is on a wish list.<3 **Evasion build on site seems legit, but reducing his weakness count might be a more competitive option. I can't be sure.
[#2] Drapion - Battle Armor/(Sniper)
Moves: Swords Dance, Crunch, Poison Jab, Taunt* (Maybe Toxic Spike, if you're going with Whirlwind), Whirlwind*, Aqual Tail** **Move Tutor but I hope they make this possible.<3
I would go for a bulkier fighting type. Otherwise:
[#3] Mienshao - Regenerator
Moves: U-Turn, Fake Out, Drain Punch, Low Kick*(Hi Jump Kick is stronger), Grass Knot for swamperts :3? ? ?
[#4] Alakazam - Regenerator
Moves: Dazzling Gleam, Psychic, Signal Beam, (Focus Blast), Shadow Ball, Energy Ball? ? ?
[#5] Filler - Filler/(Filler)
Mandibuzz is good along side Alakazam cause she can take dark/ghost attacks. She can also fit in with hail because of Overcoat.
Moves: Tailwind (for speeding up your team), Nasty Plot, Dark Pulse, Air Slash, Flatter (Confusion), Punishment (Hits harder when the opponent has increased stats)/// Roost can also be used.
[#6] Filler - Filler/(Filler)
Magmortar would be a good fire type because it has decent bulk and strong enough attacks. I would probably replace it with Alakazam. If you go with Mortar, though, you might need a grass type. Roserade comes to mind as a good Pokemon...same for Tangrowth, which gets regenerator.

I think I should try to redirect us towards creating a team for me that can take on the Gym Leaders, the Elite Four and the Champion. I'll list what pokemon are useful where and what's lacking so we can try to come to an agreement.
Okay so I got indecisive again. D8 I've moved Drapion off the team because he wasn't going to stay on Dmitri forever, anyways. But to replace him I've put Klefki which knows Foul Play and I've also got a Bug-type move and a Poison-type move on my other pokemon so Drapion isn't necessary anymore. Talonflame is going to be permanent, I really want to keep it on there to be honest.
A really good Fighting-type is all I need now, really. At least, from what I can tell, anyways. A really nifty dual-typing would be best, but I haven't seen many Fighting dual-types that have more resistances than weaknesses or types that don't overlap with what I already have planned out.

Usa Keji & Dylan Allardice: I think Klefki, Mamoswine, Alakazam, Gengar and Talonflame are guaranteed teamworthy. They might be interchanged with any Rares I get, however. At this point something to take on the other Gyms would be best, which is a Fighting-type. Or something with the ability to learn Fighting-type moves and has other coverage I'm lacking. Grass-Fighting comes to mind, such as Breloom, for the support it has.
I have quite a few sweeper-ish pokemon already, so more bulky walls or anything to stall would be nice. Maybe a Normal-type that learns Fighting-type moves so that it can have immunity to Ghost and no weakness to Psychic? /shrug./ It would be neat to have a Normal-type that was actually good. I've never heard of one.
Come to think of it, Klefki is pretty good as a stall/wall for lots of types. Maybe a sweeper for coverage I'm lacking actually is the better choice. I'll let you guys decide.
Dmitri Khvostov Klefki is a perfect addition. And, it's bulky, as you said. Only concern with it, is that the moves it needs to be super effective as a bulky poke (light screen and reflect) are TM moves. If this is too much of a bother, perhaps try another bulky steel type. Klinklang, Bronzong, Magnezone (bulky-ish), Forretress and Ferothorn are some that come to mind.
For fighting type, may I point you in the direction of Machamp and Conkeldurr? (cause...muscles :3 ) mach amp is better because the moves he learns are superior to Conk who naturally relies on egg moves.
Gengar & Alakazam on the same team is a bit iffy. They both perform the same role. Gengar is slower, but has more type coverage. Also, since the site is free-form, he's probably better than Alakazam in every way. However, if mega come along, I could see Dmitri with a mega Alakazam! In which case, all the personality build up of your abra wouldn't be in vein :3.
Finally, you're gonna need to Water if you plan on using both Mamo, a steel type and a grass type on the same team. The fire weakness is real, even if Mamo gets Earthquake. May I suggest something with swift swim (for the extra dodge) that also learns rain dance naturally? Ludicolo might be good for adding that grass type you wanted.
