Jumpluff, lv. 66 @ Wide Lens
Male // Jolly // Leaf Guard
- Leech Seed
- Substitute
- Sleep Powder
- Seed Bomb
Jumpluff was easily my best Pokémon. Whenever I found myself in a tough spot, Jumnpluff was a sure win. Seriously. No matter what, this little guy pulled through every single goddamn time. Slowly, but surely and smug as all hell, this guy would bring the opponents to their knees, crying and begging for mercy. And the merciful Jumpluff would grant them the mercy of allowing them to faint. Jumpluff will forever remain one of my all-time favorite Pokémon. And did I mention that this guy is awesome? Because he is. He's awesome.
Crobat, lv. 65 @ Poison Barb
Female // Jolly // Inner Focus
- U-Turn
- Fly
- Roost
- Cross Poison
Fly slave and decent scout. No, really, Crobat is cool, but her main usage in this challenge was as a Fly slave. Sure, she pulled through every now and then and earned me the occasional victory, but next to the throne of Jumpluff, she seems a mere peasant.
Yanmega, lv. 65 @ Amulet Coin
Male // Modest // Speed Boost
- Protect
- Bug Buzz
- AncientPower
- Air Slash
I actually spent a lot of time breeding mid-game for this guy, because I wanted a Modest one with Speed Boost. I've never used Yanmega before, but he proved
really fun to use. A bit tiring to level up, as he learned all his great moves pretty late-game, but worth it. More or less, anyway. And I just love his design so much. Definitely one of my favorite Gen IV Pokémon.
Togekiss, lv. 65 @ Leftovers
Male // Bashful // Serene Grace
- Shock Wave
- Flamethrower
- Aura Sphere
- Shadow Ball
Normally, I care a little too much for natures to ever would have used a Bashful Togekiss, but when he hatched, I figured - what the hell. He was fun to use and has insanely useful coverage.
Gyarados, lv. 65 @ NeverMeltIce
Male // Adamant // Intimidate
- Waterfall
- Dragon Dance
- Ice Fang
- Earthquake
Do I really need to say anything about Gyarados? This guy is a complete and perfect powerhouse, and after a few Dragon Dances, he is goddamn invincible. He took down Lt. Surge's entire ****ing team! And he has a 4x weakness to Electric! Gyarados, you da man.
Noctowl, lv. 65
Female // Calm // Keen Eye
- Air Slash
- Roost
- Psychic
- Psycho Shift
For a generic bird, Noctowl proved interesting to use, and it was difficult to decide on a playstyle for her. I was initially planning to go with a Hypnosis/Dream Eater-thing, but when I saw the crazy recovery moves she had in Roost and Psycho Shift, I changed my mind. Definitely not a Gyarados or a Jumpluff, (seriously, Arceus himself isn't even a match for the mighty Jumpluff) but a great team member nonetheless.
