What are three good Pokemon to support Articuno, Zapdos, and Moltres? I want to use these guys on my team, but I want to make sure I have the approporiate backup for them. If this isn't suppose to be on this board, then you know the drill. Thanks.

You'll want a Claydol or a Flygon to absorb all Rock and Ground attacks. Snorlax/Blissey to absorb Ice Beam. |

Snorlax/Blissey to absorb Ice Beam. This?  {moltres}{zapdos}
 {snorlax}{blissey}
Or did you mean Snorlax OR Blissey? |

I actually wouldn't recommend using all three birds on a team. Ho-oh has a wider movepool than moltres, Raikou isn't hurt by ice beam like zapdos is, articuno is ok if you're going to 2HKO everyone. |

Ho-oh is uber, Zapdos is gets Ground Immune, and Articuno won't be offensive anyway. I see the team as Zapdos, Moltres, Articuno, Snorlax, Claydol, Celebi CB Zappy, Sp.Sweeper Moltres, Heal Bell Cuno, Curselax, Standard Claydol and Celejump. |

Zapdos may be ground immune, but Raikou can get reflect to guard against EQ. Also, if we're talking metagame and not GBA, you can give it: Reflect-Calm Mind-HP Ice-Thunderbolt. U|33r 1337 Special Sweeping.

...he didn't ask about Raikou. He asked about Zapdos. He asked 3 good support pokemon, not if it was a good idea. Also, I've tested. The Birds + Lax + Claydol + Forretress = GREAT team. I'll suggest this: CB Zapdos Special Sweeper Moltres Cleric(if you have XD)/SleepTalk Articuno Curse Lax Standard Claydol Spin, Spikes, m00b Forrey Since this in this forum I'll post the team Netbattle Style: Zapdos @ Choice Band ** Seymour Trait: Pressure EVs: 252 Atk / 200 Spd / 56 SAtk Naughty Nature (+Atk, -SDef) - Drill Peck - Hidden Power [Fighting] - Sleep Talk - Thunderbolt Absorbs Sleep, Thunderbolt still does nice damage to things weak against it. Moltres @ Leftovers ** David Trait: Pressure EVs: 60 HP / 252 Spd / 172 SAtk / 24 SDef Modest Nature (+SAtk, -Atk) - Flamethrower / Fire Blast - Hidden Power [Grass / Ice] - Morning Sun - Sunny Day / Sleep Talk CRAZY powerful. Articuno @ Leftovers ** Todd Trait: Pressure EVs: 188 HP / 132 Def / 56 SAtk / 132 SDef Calm Nature (+SDef, -Atk) - Heal Bell / Sleep Talk - Ice Beam - Rest - Roar It can take special attacks that aren't Fire and Electric and has Ground Immune. Roar for pHazing is fun. Snorlax (M) @ Leftovers ** Love Handles Trait: Thick Fat EVs: 204 HP / 44 Atk / 136 Def / 124 SDef Careful Nature (+SDef, -SAtk) - Body Slam - Curse - Rest - Shadow Ball This will take Fire, Electric, and Ice with no problems. Claydol @ Leftovers ** Bryan Trait: Levitate EVs: 112 HP / 96 Atk / 108 Def / 96 SAtk / 96 SDef Relaxed Nature (+Def, -Spd) - Earthquake - Ice Beam - Rapid Spin - Rest For the DDtar or the generic CB with EQ and Rock Slide. Forretress (M) @ Leftovers ** Fort Knox Trait: Sturdy EVs: 116 HP / 142 Atk / 252 Def Impish Nature (+Def, -SAtk) - Earthquake - Rapid Spin / Rock Slide / Rest / HP: Bug - Explosion - Spikes Since Claydol spins this guy has an option there. Spikes + Sp.Atk of those Birds = hurt. |

Umbreon is just a lovely wall that's meant to support and help set up for a team. You really should consider dropping moltres, as it really doesn't do anything for your team. |

Then it wouldn't be a Legendary Bird Team... Seriously, Moltres can Wisp, Sleep Talk, and/or just have CRAZY Fire damage. Also, Moltres can ABUSE Sunny Day like no other pokemon....save Eggy. Umbreon would mainly be walling damage and passing Wish+Mean Look...Trapping isn't so much needed and with the massive EQ immunity, they can switch-in easily. Umbreon CAN be used...but Snorlax does a better job at taking the Ice attacks(thick fat). |
