Favorite Teams Anyone?

[Alice Crysis]

I wanna know what everyone favorite team to battle with is. Not best, not most successful, not most flashy. Favorite. Also, why.

NO TIER 1 POKEMON ALLOWED.

The first list are not to be put in any team please, as well as legendaries, regardless of their positioning.

My Team(s)

Umbreon

Wish ~ Substitute ~ Toxic ~ Confuse Ray

My favorite opener... I've devastated entire teams with her.


Vaporeon

Wish ~ Ice Beam ~ Surf ~ Heal Bell

Cleric / Sponge. Also my favorite (non-legendary) Pokemon.


Tyranitar

Crunch ~ Stone Edge ~ Pursuit ~ Earthquake

I just love my Pwntar. Always have, since I saw 'em.


Sceptile

Substitute ~ Giga Drain ~ Leech Seed ~ Dragon Pulse

Fastest Grass Pokemon you say?


Gardevoir

Will-o-Wisp ~ Shadow Ball ~ Psychic ~ Shock Wave

My favorite of it's generation, it coasted me through the game the first time around.


Absol

Super Power ~ Sword Dance ~ Night Slash ~ Sucker Punch

Just love how it looks.

~~~~~

So I know that team has obvious flaws (3 dark pokemon, wth?).
Which is why I routinely rotate things in and out, including;

Arcanine

Flare Blitz ~ Thunderfang ~ Extreme Speed ~ Overheat

Just like Arcanine


Weezing

Pain Split ~ Thunderbolt ~ Haze ~ Will-o-Wisp

Favorite wall.


Scyther

Pursuit ~ Sword Dance ~ Aerial Ace ~ X-Scissor

Holyshit technician wtf.


Kabutops

Waterfall ~ Sword Dance ~ Stone Edge ~ Earthquake

I'LL CUT YA FACE!


Blissey

Softboiled ~ Toxic ~ Substitute ~ Counter

Surprised that I don't see this moveset more often...


Armaldo

Earth Quake ~ Stone Edge ~ Sword Dance ~ X-Scissor

Looks badass to me!


Milotic

Hypnosis ~ Surf ~ Recover ~ Confuse Ray

Puuuuuuuuurdy.

I can't do that funky sprite thing that you're doing right there Alice, so I'll just post my teams in words. I also don't really mind about the movesets, I just teach my Pokemon whatever, so I'll just put down my favourite teams. I think I have 3.

Tracey/SCYTHER
Denkiyu/LANTURN
Asperatus/LAPRAS
Paul/TORTERRA
Taze/LUXRAY
Andy/AMPHAROS

Tracey/SCYTHER
Toma/TORTERRA
Pepin/EMPOLEON
Esmund/AERODACTYL
Roman/GARCHOMP
Klyte/RAMPARDOS

Aro/CHARIZARD
Rupt/TYPHLOSION
Crash/TYRANITAR
MEGANIUM
FERALIGATR

[Black Unicorn]

My favourite team would be based more on the types than the pokémon.
I always try to make a team consisting of

Water
Fire
Grass
Electric
Flying
Random type of choice

Though the fire type is almost always a Rapidash nicknamed Oceana.
Electric type is mostly Pachirisu or Luxray
And I always try to use a Flying type that doesn't have Normal as their second type.

[Alice Crysis]

You know, I've never found people who just aim for certain types. Then again, sub-consciously, I do that for ice / dark types... >_>

[The REAL Joey]

Heh, favourite team you say?

SIX ELECTRODES, MAX SPEED, CHOICE BANDED, ONLY MOVE: EXPLOSION!

...LOL, as for my TRUE favourite teams, i'll have to write that up later. It's going to be pretty hard as I don't have one particular team I stick to, I have quite a few Pokemon so it's easy for me to swap about.

Alice - Most of your team candidates seem pretty cool. However, I was expecting your Umbreon to have a moveset like that when you mentioned it being deadly. Shame you couldn't force a Mean Look in there somewhere to complement the Toxic and Confuse Ray attacks. Always cool to see a fellow Weezing user!

Lem - Your set gets respect from me purely because you have Aerodactyl and Rampardos there, nice!

Unicorn - Haha! Nice nickname for Rapidash! Makes sense really.

You know, I've never found people who just aim for certain types.

Oh god, I did for the longest part of playing Pokemon. I always used to use Pokemon that resembled that of a dragon or were Dragon in type. Since DPPt though there's been an abundance of Dragon types so one of my main rosters is: Dragonite, Kingdra (Nicknamed Queendra), Flygon, Altaria, Salamence and Garchomp. A huge weakness to a certain type I know, but i've managed most of the time to screw their chances.

So yeah, consider that roster I just used one of my teams that I use for fun. Hell, I don't really play competitively, I just use what Pokemon I like and run with it.

lol'd.

And whatchu say about my Umbreon? It requires no Mean Look. Trust me, or ask Phoenix. I don't play the rudimentary Toxi-staller with it. I use it to wall you and force a switch, and repeat. Goal? Get your team all toxic'd. I usually run a taunter as well, for clerics. I guess I forgot to mention that on the Absol. Oh well.

[The REAL Joey]

LOL Okay well, I hope you like Close Combat.

[Alice Crysis]

*Shrug* I never said it was my flawless team. Just my favorite. And hey, I haven't had problems with CC before.

[The REAL Joey]

I was being silly. Brute force is nice and all but it doesn't always cut it.

[Alice Crysis]

I laugh at pure sweeper teams. Trust be told, I don't even know an effective counter to this Umbreon apart from a Steel Pokemon.

[The REAL Joey]

Wouldn't Poison types pretty much screw up your Toxic plan?

Oh yeah here is my team I usually use for fun:
Electivire
Gengar
Weezing
Gallade
Rhyperior
Gyarados

It was hard but I narrowed it down T__T

[Professor Oak]

Alrighty, here's my favourite team.

It's only a Generation II team with the old movesets so there's no way my team will be able to stand up to some of the teams people have now but I've had good memories with this one so it would definitely be my favourite I would think.

There's only 3 Pokemon as well since it's a team I made for the Challenge Cup on Pokemon Stadium 2. The Challenge Cup was one of the hardest to beat and it involved entering 3 Pokemon between Level 50 and 55 but their levels had to add up to 155. It took me about a month to assemble this team and get the moves and levels right but I did end up beating Challenge Cup with it.

---

I know that you did mention no legendaries Alice but NO ONE GETS IN THE WAY OF MY ZAPDOS! XD It just wouldn't be the same without him.

Level 50
Moves: Detect, Thunder Wave, Whirlwind, Thunder Bolt
Item: Miracle Berry

With this fella, I'd paralyse everything in the other guy's team by alternating between Thunder Wave and Whirlwind. Sometimes I'd use Detect too just to scout out the moves of Pokemon I'm interested in.

Level 50
Moves: Ice Beam, Safeguard, Perish Song, Whirl Pool
Item: Nevermeltice

With the other team all paralysed, my slower dudes can go to town. My Lapras is basically there to take down the stubborn walls and rock Pokemon that my Curselax can't do by himself. She'll normally use a combo of Whirl Pool to trap the Pokemon, Perish Song and then I'd switch her out at the last minute.

Level 55
Moves: Curse, Rest, Body Slam, Earthquake
Item: Leftovers

This is the Curselax, which was used a lot in Generation II era and is still probably around today. Mine worked the same way by increasing Attack/Defense with Curse and then resting to full health. Then I had fun with Body Slam or Earthquake.

---

That's my favourite team. Only 3 Pokemon but meh, the game was more simple back then. I can't begin to think of a favourite team for D/P/Pt since I haven't played it long enough to stumble on a favourite team. I usually just throw together a couple of random rare Pokemon like Milotic and Dragon-types and have fun with that.

If I had to replace the Zapdos somehow *grumbles* it'd probably be with an Electrode with Thunderbolt, Thunderwave, Explosion and Mirror Coat. But it just wouldn't be the same.

[The REAL Joey]

ELECTRODE?! WITH EXPLOSION!? You are a true scholar of Pokemon.

And oh man, what you posted about Pokemon Stadium and the max level limit being 155... Oh god that does bring back the memories. Pretty solid team though and you'd be right in thinking Curselax is still used today. Pretty interested you've got Whirlpool on Lapras, i've never seen anyone use that. I'd be caught off guard if I saw that being used.

[Alice Crysis]

Well Oak, technically, by rules of standard play Zapdos is perfectly acceptable. In fact, it's the most used Electric Sweeper around.

And here-here Oak, I would love to keep things oldschool....... Argh. New shit sucks HARDCORE.

[The REAL Joey]

Awww c'mon, it's not that bad is it? It all seems pretty refined to me.


Edit: Oh and i'm really tempted now to make nothing but an Electrode team now.
