Hey All,
I played Gen 1 pokemon games and watched the first season of the anime when I was a just a kid. Just over a year ago, I started watching the rest of the anime seasons and then started getting a game from each generation as I watched the season.
Now I am on Platinum and I am having a bit of trouble rounding out my team. I doubt I ever would have put this much prethought into a team when I was a kid, but now with sites like this one and bulbapedia, its hard not to.
I am on my way to the 6th gym now, just passing on through Celestic town. And before I set my team of 6 into stone, I wanted your advice. Also, any under evolved pokemon for this time in the game, are there on purpose as I usually wait to get all of the moves I want before evolving them.
My set in stone Pokemon
1. Monferno
2. Buizel
3. Luxio
My flying type
* I actually am not a fan of the flying types in this gen, Starraptor is cool but I didnt want to grab the most generic bird type. However, I feel obligated to have a fly type because I need to use Fly. YES, I have HM slaves, but Fly I use too often not to have in my team of 6. So, this pokemon is growing on me, but originally I would've skipped this.
4. Togetic - chosen over Chatot, good choice??
The Others - Help me round out my team by picking two (I wish it could be three) of the following choices.
- an eveeloution: Which one, Leafeon or Glaceon? With Mirror Coat, Barrier, and Avalanche, there is a pretty intersting defensive strategy set up for Glaceon. But, with Grass Whistle and Synthesize, Leafeon has great staying power)
- Garchomp (Plus- Tank with good moveset, Minus- Generic choice)
- Drapion (Plus: Toxic Spikes and ability to learn accurate and semi-powerful dark and poison moves. Minus- Ugly and debatebly the weakest of my choices)
- Bronzor (Plus: Pyschic is strong, a steel type move on the side aint bad, and I have already started using my Bronzor pretty heavily. Minus- Ugly and the pyschic strategy is pretty bland, just with a side of steel to make it semi interesting)
Your advice is much appreciated.
