New team rating thread, old is pretty dead. Also, if anyone has questions about the names, just ask
Names are albums/songs/bands etc Jojo style, though I always end up using the same names lately, I need to renew my library everything I listen too has long af names
>>26896684
7/10 Pretty good.
>>26896728
4/10 Not a fan of some of those mons.

Which ones don't you like out of curiosity ?
also pretty good taste, although Lampent > Chandelure desu
>>26896784
pretty generic and no nicknames, but nothing bad, 4 ground types absolutely triggers my autms though
>>26896801
>autms
had a stroke, meant autism
>>26896684
A solid team, 8/10 would be 10 but I am not fond of Cubchoo and its evolution.
>>26896728
Nice team, I like when people are using underappreciated pokemon. Seaking and Magcargo are bros. What romhack is it?
Pic related is my team just after defeating Ghetsis. Levels 47-51. Id' like to add that Audino turned out to be the best mon in my party. It defeated Hydreigon, Eelektross and Bouffalant all by itsel and went from 48 to 51 in one battle.Attract gave me a lot of free turns.
>>26896893
hack is light platinum, it's pretty glitchy and somewhat cringy at times but it's fun
it has 2 regions and a 7 (?) trainers gauntlet at the end, where it ends at level 100, I somehow won with that teamand a bunch of items
it also has too many HMs and pseudo-HMs in the second region (that are just TMs so if you delete them accidentally gg wp)
there's also another spot where you can softlock yourself iirc
>>26896801
I don't really like Zebstrika, Seaking or Pidgeot. I love Heracross and Dusknoir though. Magcargo I'm pretty neutral about.
Planned team for my Pokémon White masochist run. Basically where you use shitmons (usually sub-500 BST). There's obviously an inherit flaw in the fact that any Pokémon can be used ingame but it's still fun. A lot harder in BW since there is a lot of amazing Pokémon. A lot more potent however in games such as HGSS, giving you options such as Ledian and Jumpluff.
>>26897019
5/6, I like all of those (especially Beartic and Druddigon, 10/10 bros) except Simisear
Sage is the only good monkey
>>26897048
Thanks mate. Was originally going to do Simisage+Heatmor instead of Simisear+Maractus but I felt like Heatmor would have no worth since, after you get it, the only Pokémon it can do SE damage to are N's Vanilluxe/Klinklang and Ghetsis's Bisharp, all of which covered by Druddigon's Revenge/Beartic's Superpower
Just beat Lance in SoulSilver
Feraligatr
Fearow
Espeon
Magnezone
Machamp
Pupitar
Mom was the MVP for getting me a Choice Scarf of all things, allowing Feraligatr to outspeed pretty much everything on lance's team besides his Aerodactal
Will get onto Kanto tomorrow
>>26897066
but heatmor and simisage are both cooler than simisear and maractus
cactus still a cool
>>26897116
I know, I'd just rather have something with actual worth in the playthrough. A fire type being able to clear out 2 gyms is more important to me than one being able to kill 2 mons.
Re-playing White 2 and wasn't planning on using Braviary, but it was one of those weekly encounters and I had no idea it existed until I caught it and looked it up.
>>26897019
Liepard wll be a pain in ass to train and use, same with Simisear. Swanna is a beast though. I ran on mine feather dance + roost + 2 STAB, shit was fun.
>>26897154
That's literally the most generic B2W2 team you can make, but it's still decent mons aside from Luke
Breloom/Ampharos/Gardevoir/Flygon/Ambipom/QuagsireI'm never using Flygon again, it can't finish a fucking fight, even when it should. Keeps getting crit, constantly falls just short of 1shotting the enemy. Add to the fact i'm going to Snowpoint now, and it's easily the weakest member despite being freshly evolved.
>>26896684
7/10 wouldn't take cubchoo
>>26896764
8/10 pretty solid team
>>26896798

>>26897466
should probably say I'm playing through Volt White 2, liking the all 'mon variety
>>26897466
>>26897477
>2 starters
Never played Volt White 2, are those actually there?
>>26897486
You can find all the starters through hidden grottoes, as well as being able to find all mons throughout the game too
>>26897185
Lucario is just for easy win ratio. Having a powerful fighting type that early is a game changer. I'm playing with my brother and his team consists of Dewott, Magby and Trapinch, so no matter what my team can't consist of the same pokemon.
Just about to go to Viridian Forest.
>npc trainers that spam protect on the first couple turns
why is this allowed? it's not a strategy, it's a waste of time
Finished my Blaze Black 2 main story run earlier today with my same team from last thread. The Iris battle was pretty intense. Wondering what should I do now, kinda realized I never actually played my real Black 2 game that much
>>26899620
>audino
>victini
why those two? also, 6/10, not a fan of beartic or unfezant at all
>>26899691
Because I like them? I don't understand the question. Besides Audino is tanky as hell and comes with Regenerator, so I could keep switching between her and Krookodile to spam Intimidate
>>26898920
>not boxing your starter
>catching shitrow
>not using nidoking exclusively
>>26899732
How do you even get Victini though? Did you cheat or does Blaze Black 2 just have it hanging around somewhere?
>>26899750
>not using the starter until you actually catch enough pokemon to fill a team
>>26899768
Ohhh yeah, you can get Victini as soon as you reach Castelia, so right after Roxie. It will be at that tiny room on Liberty Garden just like in BW1
Playing through emerald and desperately need a 6th that'll help with the first island gym. Suggestions?
>>26900013
Gardevoir?
>>26899750
I heard you were talking shit about my nigga spearow
>>26900043
Didn't realize my post made me look like a fury
Probably won't keep Furret or Togepi since it takes fucking ages to get a shiny stone.
Banette if you don't care about losing your Shadow Ball TM for it.
Houndour is in the safari zone but the necessary area is probably currently blocked to you. Besides, Eartquake/Rock Slide will be a bitch. Look for some dark type that's not Mightyena otherwise.
>>26900013
This was meant for you. >>26900507
Soul Silver playthrough, trying to use pokes I haven't really used before but kind of failing.
LICKILICKY called Boomer, L.46
TANGROWTH called Yeti, L.49
HOUNDOOM called Hex, L.45
KAPUTOPS called Slattern, L.43
and two HM sluts
About to kill Lugia so I can get on with the rest of the game, I know I'm over-levelled but they were all traded from another game so I can't really help that. Any ideas for how to finish the team off?
>>26900447
Togepi evolves into Togetic, not Togekiss. By this logic, you should probably ditch Gastly as well. Trading with yourself is as much cheating as giving yourself the stone.
Get an Eeevee when you can and evolve it how you please. That will add variety. It's what I did (got Umbreon).
>>26900512
>and two HM sluts
And that is where you fucked up.
>About to kill Lugia
No easy mode for this guy.
http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Elite_Four#Generations_II_and_IV
You don't stand a chance. Bruno's gonna fuck yo shit up, senpai. Get a Crobat or some shit and put Fly on it. Nobody's going to switch out or Protect on you.
This is probably gonna be flipped.
>>26900547
I wish you had flipped it. Jesus. Laptop is currently sideways.
You didn't say which version this is. Iris vs Alder matters, plus the rest of the gyms.
Off E4 alone, I'd say you stand a 50% chance of surviving. Your team does not mix well to create an overwhelming force for any particular one of them. It will always be no more than one carrying most of the weight.
>>26900541
I've used Crobat a lot before so I'd rather something else but thanks for pointing out how fucked I am against fighting types, I'm too fucking dumb to notice shit like that.
What's wrong with two HM sluts? You can get through most the game with one or two actual fighters and levelling anything late-game is a piece of piss.
>>26900529
I wouldn't say trading with yourself is cheating, but I'd wait until you've had haunter for a good 20 levels or so before you evolve it. He deserves to be loved.
>>26900529
>Trading with yourself is as much cheating as giving yourself the stone.
Eh I wouldn't say that. Trading with myself, just creates a simple alternative to something I could do if I wasn't using an emulator. Handing myself an item that is unobtainable until a certain point is certainly more straight up cheating.
>>26900575
You can get Scyther from the bug contest. It doubly resists Fighting type attacks. You need Aerial Ace and Technician.
It's a waste of space, which you need desperately. I brought Lugia and Entei into the E4 with my Feral, Umb, Bellos, and Crob, and only barely made it through to the end. The more you can make your HM slaves into HM gladiators, the better and easier your playthrough will be.
Which HMs are they responsible for?
Not in-game team but I'd like to ask you what you think of this unfinished doubles team

How does it look so far? What pokemon would synergize well with my team?
>>26896684
I fully accept any and all judgement for this team in Black 2. I have just beaten Elesa (Gym 4).
Buneary Lv30: Attract, Jump Kick, Return, Quick Attack.
Growlithe Lv28: Take Down, Leer, Fire Fang, Reversal.
Minccino Lv27: Tail Slap, Charm, Swift, Sing.
Tranquil Lv29: Air Cutter, Detect, Roost, Quick Attack.
Mareep Lv30: Power Gem, Confuse Ray, Thunder Wave, Electro Ball.
Eevee Lv29: Bite, Quick Attack, Take Down, Sand-Attack.
>>26900512
>>26900541
>>26900575
>>26900604
I just took a second look at the elite four, and I have come to the conclusion that you would have to be retarded not to be running Scyther with Bug and Flying moves if you have an empty slot to fill.
>>26900638
Wasn't this a bait post that's been posted dozens of times before on this board. Because it looks like bait.
>>26900655
If it comes off as bait then it's unintentional. It's definitely the team I'm currently using, and it's actually going an awful lot better than I thought it would. I'm a fan of Normal types, hence why I have four of them on my team, and I was pleasantly surprised to find out how hard Buneary can hit. Minccino is lagging behind a little, but I'm fond of Skill-Link Tail Slap, and once she evolves I'll have better coverage so I hope that'll make up for it.
>>26900604
Well Kaputops has waterfall, then a linoone and a low level spare mew I had have the rest. I just really don't like HM's, I know fly isn't a bad move but it adds to the length of battles and I'm pretty impatient with shit like that.
Thinking about ditching Kaputops since I've used him before and getting a Politoad with Psychic/Ice beam/Surf/?? and giving the linoone rock smash/strength/whirl pool/cut. Ditch the mew too, suck it up and put fly on something useful, I guess.
Question, playin White again and i boxed oshawott. Need a water type for Ground badge and surf. Any suggestions? Team is herdier, drilbur, blitzle, sawk and yamask.
>>26900676
barboach
>>26900683
can't fish until post game, pal.
I do like whiscash though.
>>26900638
Make sure to swap out Swift for Wake-Up Slap at Level 31. Mareep learns Discharge at lv. 32 Switch out Electro Ball then. And consider giving your Normal type Pokemon Return. Other than that, for what you are trying to do, nothing more can be done.
>>26900673
>Thinking about ditching Kaputops since I've used him before and getting a Politoad with Psychic/Ice beam/Surf/??
You get a gold star if you looked at the E4 and Champion and calculated what you were up against. Bravo. Don't forget you need King's Rock trading to get it.
Looking at the HM list for the generation, Linoone is versatile, and you can make it work. If you take my advice and get Scyther, you can't do fly with it.
I don't know much else to say, except you obviously don't need every Pokemon you use during the journey during the E4.
>>26900676
Swanna - it can learn surf and fly, is fast, and also catchable after 4th gym.
>>26900676
No matter what you will need an extra Poke for the remaining HMs. If you get Duckett,you have Fly and Surf. If you get Basculin or Panpour, all your water needs are covered. Tympole is a third and worst option.
>>26900772
>>26900781
I never use fly desu, but ducklett/swanna sounds like the best option. cheers guys
>>26900781
>>26900806
To beat this game you just need Fly(optional), Surf and Strength.
>>26900806
why did tb,h turn into desu?
>>26900753
Th-thanks...I think.
And I know that, but you also don't need six pokemon to beat the elite four. You can do it with four as long as you have decent type coverage and a bit of luck in some places. Definitely need something for Lance though so I think Politoad is the way to go for me. I'm not using Scyther since I've used him before, but might get a Gliscor to do the same job. Thanks for the advice, no matter how patronising it may have been.
>>26900819
It's a filter. It transforms t.b.h. f.a.m. into desu senpai, to be funny. I don't know how long it's been around.
>>26900676
Basculin and Carracosta are awesome
Aipom or Lickitung for a normal type in HG/SS, I've never used either.
r8 my team /vp/
>>26900638
8/10
If you have patience I recommend giving Growlithe Eviolite and holding off it's evolution until level 45, when it learns Flare Blitz. Flamethrower is nice to have as a secondary STAB if you don't want to take the recoil damage.
Make sure to make use of your Heart Scales for Minccino once you hit Mistralton.
>>26900835
s.m.h also turns into baka
>>26900848
I'm using Lickilicky atm and it's a beast, but I did give it Body Slam as an egg move which has probably contributed to that beastliness quite a bit.

Your choice. It comes down to this.
>>26900862
7/10
>>26900638
Evolve your fucking Pokémon
>>26901094
To be fair, the only Pokemon that could evolve there is Mareep (twice, granted). Growlithe and Minccino both use stones and I don't know how early those show up in BW2, while Buneary uses Friendship which is never very easy to judge. Eevee is either-or, so same concepts apply.
I've replayed XY one too many times and I'm really bored.
All level 43-48. So, now I'm heading to Kanto. Should I drop somebody and develop a new team or just keep levelling these 6?
>>26900013
Please God get a better emulator. Don't play with ads.
>>26902294
Drop nidoking and pick another jotho poke. Like donphan or something
>>26902294
Get a new team and use some stuff you've never used, this is literally my dog's GSC/HGSS team
>>26900848
Use either but for god's sake don't evolve them
>>26897084
Fantastic taste
>>26897378
Get gud you fucking loser.
>>26902496
I-is it? I've never used Nidoking, Quagsire, Ampharos or Heracross in any game before...
>>26902568
Got to agree with the other guy, barring Nidoking those are some really common choices for a HGSS run. At the very least you need to drop Typhlosion and Ampharos. Unless it's your first playthrough, in which case do whatever you like.
Help me build a team. These are the ones I'm willing to train.
I'm about to do Mt. Chimney in ORuby.

A total bro but i dont feel he's doing enough damage with flamethrower, i want to change the attack, right now he has thunder wave, wild charge (that electric attack that gives you recoil, dont know if its called wild charge), flamethrower and cross chop, but flamethrower is basically useless
Should i teach him fire punch? or earthquake? or flare blitz if he can? ugh
Automatic 5/10 to anyone with 2 starters. It's just lazy
>>26906569
Does your houndoom know flamethrower?
>>26906606
Yes, she knows attract, flamethrower, nasty plot, and dark pulse. she can take care of herself.
Does that mean i already have fire covered so should i teach him something physical that i dont have?
>>26900013
Sableye anon
>>26900013
Aggron carried my shit in that gym
>>26906622
I would see if he can learn a move that raises his attack and replace flamethrower with that, and if he can't and you want a fire move teach him fire punch, since fire punch is a physical attack move it would better suite electivire
This is in Y vers, just beat the 4th gym

You can't get Flygon in DP before postgame, stop lying.
>>26908490
Sure I can. I ported a bunch of pokemon from Emerald to SS, and traded them all to Platinum as soon as possible. I like to think of it as a little New Game Plus.
>>26906290
which emulator is that?
>>26908527
So you're saying you randomly decided to dedicate one of the six team slots to a Pokemon that already disappointed you a bunch of times before and that you had to send over from another game? Yeah no, you're shitposting

As a Trapinch it 1shot Maylene's Lucario, and it's been downhill from there. I'm going to Mt. Coronet to deal with Team Galactic soon, here's hoping it doesn't get screwed over by bad luck.I'm honestly just really salty over that crit, maybe this thing's just trained badly

Sorry for image quality.
>>26910086
>quagsire+vibrava
You should be fine against Ein because you have Earthquake
>>26910153
He has 2 flying types, and Raikou (who I don't want to risk KOing).
EQ's good for 2/5 of his pokes.
>>26908572
Drastic , you can download it for free by searching for it, just put apk after it
>>26910544
I think quagsire's not going to 1shot Raikou with earthquake
>>26910641
prolly not. He is 5 (now almost 6) levels ahead of where Raikou'll be at when I face him. If my sleepers get KO'd before he Shadow Rushes himself to death that'd be bad.
Still though, they're shitmons with shit speed (love em all to death anyway though, this is a Karenfag run), so I gotta level them up so they can actually land some hits before the game's RNG fucks me in the ass.
Would also be cool if I didn't have to trek through the entire lab with the alarm sounding every time I fuck up.
I'll go through hell for my favorite mon though.

>>26910908
How'd Magcargo working out for you? I always wanted to give it a shot but the super late evo level and being so late really killed it
>>26910928
Sucks dick. In my original playthrough years ago he's the one I benched for Vibrava/Flygon.
I just love him so fucking much, though. So I'm gonna make him work. Got Toxic and Protect on him for some tanky/troll strats (plus Flamethrower and Fire Blast for when he's not guaranteed to get 1-shotted by a surf or EQ).
Exp Share on him makes him higher level than the rest of my team, which almost makes him viable.
>>26911021
Magcargo's just one of those pokemon fucked over for no good reason. About the same BST as Quilava, but evolves at level 38.
I hope SM reworks the stats of a ton of mons past "+10 to a random stat"

There's no point using shitmons if you're going to overthink it like that. I like to try limit myself to as few types as possible if I'm not doing a monotype run.
Playing through white 2 with a mono bug team. Traded my starter for a scyther egg after the first gym and traded myself an anorith for surf. Just beat Clay, haven't evolved dwebble or anorith yet but this is what I have planned.
