The In-Game Team Review Thread

[Thundagere]

I know what 4 on 4 means, but as this is an in-game team, it won't stand a chance in wifi.

well, could you help me make it a team that would be good on wi-fi? i was thinking of maybe also using a garchomp and Rypherior.

Ummm....first of all, I think most people play wifi 6 on 6.
Also, Garchomp is in Uber tier, meaning you can't use it in Standard play. Tell me, have you ever battle competitively on Shoddy or whatever before?

[Red]

um, well i do sometimes, but not a lot....

[ekluag]

Right. I'm about to start playing Platinum, and I want to have my team laid out before hand (Pokemon only. Moves, Abilities, and such I'm not worried about). Here is what I have:
Piplup (going on up to Empoleon)
Gible (going up to Garchomp)
Rotom
One of the Eveelutions (not Jolteon or Vaporeon)

Any thoughts for 2 more members?

I think a nice Pokemon to use would be Togepi/Togetic from the egg you get in Eterna, and since you need a Fire type..try Ponyta or something..I don't really know the Fire types you can get in Sinnoh.

[ekluag]

I could get a Flareon, for fire. And the Togepi line would be nice, yes. So I have:
Water/Steel
Fire
Electric/Ghost
Normal/Flying
Dragon/Ground

Maybe some special attacker. Grass, or something.

NONONONONNONONONONO!!!
Don't get Flareon. Sorry, but Flareon has great attack with no STAB attack moves. Use magmar as a fire type, since you can evolve it to Magmortar. Rotom works, as does Garchomp. You're final pokemon should be bibrael.

As an HM Slave.

[ekluag]

Ok, so what should I evolve my Eevee into? Choices are Umbreon, Espeon, Leafeon, and Glaceon. I'd almost go for Espeon, so I have a good special attacker, but I'm not really sure.

Well, let's see, you have
Magmortar
Togekiss
Empoleon
Garchomp
Rotom
Bibarel

Generally speaking you need an HM Slave, but yes, I'd recommend Espeon for special attacker, with Calm Mind, Psychic, Signal Beam, Shadow Ball.

I'm finally living out my dream of having an all-Water type team on Soulsilver. I started out with a Totodile and am wondering what other Pokemon should be on my team.

Well, here's my persnoal recommendation.
If you REALLY want all Water:
Bibarel: HM Slave
Starmie: Special Attacker
Lapras: Special Attacker, but takes hits like a champ!
Feraligatr: Physical Attacker
Vaporeon: Staller (comes in handy against many opponents).
Poliwrath: Bulk Up, Waterfall, Ice Punch, Hypnosis

[Neon_Seadra No. 10]

Love it. Maybe a Slowking instead of Bibarel (?), I haven't gotten my National Dex yet.

[Thundagere]

Who says you need the dex? Trade it over. I'm sure many people here will be happy to give you one.
Also, movesets....

Feraligatr: Swords Dance, Crunch, Ice Punch (or Fang if you can't trade), Waterfall
Lapras: Thunderbolt, Ice beam, Surf, Sing.
Vaporeon: Toxic, Acid Armor, Ice Beam, Surf
Poliwrath: Bulk Up, Ice Punch, Hypnosis, Waterfall
Starmie: Ice beam, Thunderbolt, Hydro Pump, Recover
Bibarel: Rock Smash, Rock Climb, Strength, Whirlpool/Cut

Hope I helped!
