  1. Does anyone else follow a team formula?
    I Always use my Togetic, which makes team building hard, seeing as many of my faves are also weak to ice.
    Then, water, fire, grass.. last 2 whatever.
    I definitely got this from Ash..
    Growing up I was in love with Any main character, so it hasn’t changed u suppose.

  2. I have an idea for what I want my team to be in US. So I’m thinking about having a few new Pokémon (that I haven’t used before) on my team, such as Incineroar and Araquanid. However, the rest of my team members will consist of some of the team I had for the PJ anime thing. So this is my team so far now:
    -Incineroar
    -Araquanid
    -Dedenne
    -Metagross
    -Flygon

    And not sure about the last one. Maybe a special attacker I like in the old or new Alola Dex? Or a special Pokémon from Gen 7.

  3. Macargo is a garbage Pokemon. The stupid pile of garbage can’t OHKO a Charizard ten levels below it with a 4x effective rock slide

  4. Pokedex Number: 193
    Cowabunga
    Classification: The Wave Catcher Pokemon
    Height: 6’03
    Weight: 287.3 Lbs
    Typing: Water/Fighting
    Ability: Wave Shredder/Swift Swim (Hidden Ability: Reckless)
    Stats:
    HP: 68
    Attack: 120
    Defense: 65
    Special Attack: 65
    Special Defense: 65
    Speed: 130
    Base Stat Total: 513
    Pokedex Entry: Cowabunga are said to have impeccable balance that not even the harshest waves can disrupt. This allows them to perform a myriad of different tricks while riding their boards across the water. The horns of a Cowabunga are perfectly symmetrical and are the assumed cause of their incredible balance. Surfers frequently make fake horns resembling that of a Cowabunga and wear then into contests hoping that the horns make them them win.

    Wave Shredder: All Water attacks made by the user become physical. Additionally, using more water moves in a row allows the user a higher chance to crit while the chance is lowered if the user doesn’t use them in a row.

    First fakemon in a while yeehaw

    Torracat (fastest form)
    Lycanroc
    Minior (flying)
    Kommo-o (obvi.. maybe too obvi)

    Calling it now. Screenshot.
    He somehow pulled a fast team in the slowest gen

  6. Hmm guys I need help with a certain Pokémon in my region

    I’m starting dislike its name (and maybe it pre-evo’s name too), but it’s like the Rockruff of my region

    It’s a Coyote Pokémon that’s pure dark type at first, but if evolved in a cave or desert area it becomes Dark/Ground, Cold area’s result in Dark/Ice and in any other area it stays dark type

    They are Coykit and Coyowler. Think the names need to go? (Coyowler just gets weird to say after while)

  7. What would be your dream team from all the Pokémon you remember using in the main series? Mine would be

    Babylon the Salazzle (Sun) – Fast special attacker, perfect Sp. Attack IVs. Can’t go anywhere without a Poison-type.

    Joules the Electivire (Platinum) – Strong physical attacker with amazing coverage, would be an amazing addition.

    Garret the Glalie (Mega, AS) – Super late addition to my AS team, but an absolute murderer. Mega or not, this guy’s always got my back.

    Viri the Lilligant (W2) – Sleep Powder. Quiver Dance. Giga Drain. Slay queen slay.

    Grape the Azumarill (AS Water Mono) – Huge Power Azumarill. Nuff said.

    Sasha the AloPersian (Another Sun run) – Killed everyone and tanked everything. An absolute legend.

    Venus the Clefable (Red) – Tank for days, is actually Lusamine’s Clefable’s grandmother

    • Mine is a tad hard to do without rotating
      Rhyperior from Platnium: “Earthen Fury”
      Emboar from Black: “Blaze of Glory”
      Heracross from Silver: “Herculean Champion”
      Pangoro from X: “Brave Berserker”
      Golisopod from Sun: “Killer of the deep”
      Aerodactyl from Red: “Pterror of the skies”

    • This seems really fun actually:
      Enfuego the Arcanine (B2)
      Ruby the Starmie (Red)
      Sol the Heliolisk (X)
      Muss L Mann the Conkeldurr (B2)
      Ceros the Heracross (HG)
      Axe this the Haxorus (B)

      • Oh and some stories about them:
        Enfuego: One of the Pokémon I’m currently using in my B2 run, Enfuego was a Pokémon I fought so hard to stick with me till level 45. And after all the training and evolving, Enfuego became a powerful, versatile ally on my team, incinerating everything on sight with Flare Blitz and Heat Wave.

        Ruby: I just want say, Surf/Ice Beam/Psychic/Recover worked PERFECTLY with this starfish mon. It dished out diverse attacks while also healing up itself without the need of wasting Potions. Thank God Starmie had Recover back in Gen 1

        Sol: Before I discuss about Sol, I just realized half of this team consists of Pokémon which evolve through stones lol. Anyway, Sol’s Parabolic Charge really helps it stay alive at the best times, and it was just always funny and satisfying one-shotting Lysandre’s Gyardos with Sol.

        Muss L Mann: Perhaps the second GOAT of a Pokémon I’ve ever had, Muss was, quite literally, the definition of OPM in the Pokémon World. Nothing would survive an Adamant Hammer Arm from this thing.

        Ceros: Quite a powerful and elusive attacker on my Johto Team, Ceros peppered every opponent he faced with an unresisted moveset. Also I just love Heracross’s design so much 😀

        Axe This: Because there’s nothing cooler than having a Dragon with axes as tusks on your team.

    • Splash the Samurott (W2)- One of the first starters I can say has pulled all the way through and stuck it out to the end with Me

      Marty the Togedemaru (Moon)- This thing took leaps and bounds and fought great everywhere. And I say is the all star of that game

      Heracross (White)- Wow seriously wow was this the all-star of the Post-game as it was my first non Unovan catch (was 10 levels higher than my next highest) and could just about smash anything in its wake. (Current location unknown as I lost my White version)

      Magnet the Magnezone (also W2)- This thing took out a team of 4 80’s level Legendaries (I already beat 2 others) single handedly at level 75, it held its own in most battles including being the ace that beat Marlon.

      Glice the Glalie (AS)- another top tier Post game member holding its own in most battles with being able to hit 3 sheer colds in a row to take on all 3 Hoenn starters

      Sylveon (X)- My most pampered team member and my first legit lvl.100 (I don’t count my Empoleon from when I was 7) and it was by far my most over leveled member in a Pokémon game thus far being level 80 by the time of Diantha

      Yep these are my most powerful memorable 6 ever

  8. Sometimes I lie awake at night tormented by how dirty Gamefreak did me by creating Oricorio but giving it an awful moveset and stats

    Reply
  9. I won’t even deny this, Delphox’s design upsets me. I kinda wish it was ghost type and had a more…. witchy look…. like a way darker color scheme and a little hat to go along with it. So like it looked LEGITIMATELY sinister

  10. Spooky.. Ash team was. Actually balanced in Kalos. Minus goodra in the league. But that wasn’t a main team poke. I believe it was sent to prof solely to show that.

  11. Every now and then I hope gen 8 is another cross gen evo Gen like Gen 4 or 2. But at the same time sometimes I wish for Gen 8 to be like Gen 5 and ”pull a BW” with 100+ new mons and mons from older gens only avaible post game…

    Reply
  12. I hope that like XY we get a second set of starters again at some point but rather than old starters it’d be a Fighting/Psychic/Dark or Fighting/Fairy/Steel triangle
