XIIISwords 1,059 Posted September 17, 2012 Anyone else make special teams when they get a Pokemon game? For example, I used only Grass Pokemon in Pokemon White. I'm getting both Black 2 and White 2, and while I plan on doing a Fire Type Monotype challenge, I'm trying to think of some interesting criteria for the other one. Any ideas? Anybody else making a special team? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Weedanort 8,786 Posted September 17, 2012 I always make weather teams when I get anew Pokémon game. In White I made a sandstorm team, now I'm going to make a rain team (time to get Politoed ) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shana09 5,769 Posted September 17, 2012 I was going to do the normal Type vs Type advantage technique, but I am thinking about getting: Pikachu, Flareon, Samurott (originally supposed to be Serperior, but I already used him in White :c), Lucario, Staraptor and -enter pokemon here- (since I already have a water type pokemon, originally supposed to be Empoleon) but im actually thinking of just picking random pokemon that i like and dislike, to give them a try. So I'll be switching Pokèmon over 100x in the PC. c: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Namikaze 654 Posted September 17, 2012 I used a rain team and a toxic spike team. I think i might try sandstorm or just stick with what i already used. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Weedanort 8,786 Posted September 17, 2012 had one for Diamond and Platinum You can get it's minor form (Budew) on White Forest. Or, you can transfer one Roserade from your Platinum. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
King Riku 2,063 Posted September 17, 2012 I just use the Pokemon I feel best fit my strategy, although I do mostly depend on my water type starters. I'm so glad that BW2 can trade with BW early on so I can get a good team set up ahead of time. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I transferred over Pokemon for my Platinum and Soul Silver teams and I've got to say that it ruined the games a little. Sure, I loved having the power and the strategy, but it took away from the adventure and the search. Please don't import too many Pokemon. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Time to get myself a defensive team (Then it's time to get Poison Heal Gliscor ) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hei 3,233 Posted September 17, 2012 If I got this game, it would be a full team of DRAGONITES. Because they are intense and shoot hyper beams Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
XIIISwords 1,059 Posted September 17, 2012 I thought of a genius idea! But since I'm such a genius (non-conceited), I came up with two ideas! But since I'm not a genius at all, I can only use one. And even further from geniusness, I spelled genius "genious" three times and I'm sure geniusness is not a real word. Idea 1- I would use a team of NFEs (Not Fully Evolved). While this would normally be annoying (imagine pressing B every time any of your Pokemon leveled up), I have composed a list of Unova Dex Pokemon that evolve in special ways. It's in spoilers because of its length. Pansear Pansage Panpour Magneton Growlithe Electibuzz Magmar Vulpix Boldore Gurdurr Onix Skitty Clefairy Eevee Minccino Roselia Combee (Male) Karrablast Shelmet Nosepass Lampent Tangela Piloswine Gligar Staryu Sneasel Piloswine Jigglypuff Lickitung Yanma Idea 2- I would use a team solely of Pokemon who do not evolve. The list is also in spoilers. Dunsparce Audino Basculin Sigilyph Emolga Heracross Pinsir Durant Heatmor Alomomola Zangoose Seviper Cyrogonal Skarmory Lunatone Solrock Absol Stunfisk Shuckle Corsola Laparas Delibird Ditto Sawk Throh Bouffalant Druddigon Tropius Carnivine Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I transferred over Pokemon for my Platinum and Soul Silver teams and I've got to say that it ruined the games a little. Sure, I loved having the power and the strategy, but it took away from the adventure and the search. Please don't import too many Pokemon. I never do until after the games. I just mean that if there's a certain type of Pokemon I want early on for my main team I'll go catch it in White and transfer it. I never get much in the first place. I've seen a lot of people speed through the game with level 100 Pokemon they transferred just so they can say they know what happens first Of course, even though you can catch an Eevee in White 2, I've hatched an Eevee all ready for travel to White 2 to become my second main battle Pokemon after my starter. I want to evolve it into a Glaceon later on, but Twist Mountain is off limits until you finish the game Edited September 17, 2012 by Riku'sAngel Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I transferred over a whole team of Lv 1 Pokemon in Platinum and I feel like I ruined the game. I transferred over a single Bulbasaur in SS and I felt alright.

I transferred over a single Bulbasaur in SS and I felt alright. In one of the last runs I did in SS, I chose a Cyndaquil, and traded from my HG a Chikorita, Totodile, Pikachu, and Dratini. It was a great run Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
XIIISwords 1,059 Posted October 4, 2012 Figured I'd resurrect this since the game is so close! I'll either do a combination of these guys: (Don't Evolve) Emolga Heracross Seviper Ditto Druddigon Laparas Lunatone Bouffalant Absol Corsola Or these: (NFE) Dewott Magneton Electibuzz Boldore Onix Skitty Minccino Roselia Piloswine Lickitung Thoughts?

If you're going to use Ditto, you'd better get Impostor. I highly advise you to use Druddiggon, and Lapras. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I plan on planning a team of 7 and using Ditto if I can find one in a Hidden Hollow. Those two were actually some of my favorites on the list. Them and Emolga. I'm not sure if I want to use Heracross- I already have one from SS. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

XIIISwords 1,059 Posted October 5, 2012 Heracross already had its time. Back in the 3rd Gen. Also the Pokémon are listed roughly in order of obtaining, so I may need to use temporary Pokémon until I get to Lapras. So I guess the goal is Emolga Druddigon Lapras Lunatone Absol Seviper/Bouffalant/(Diito) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
