Toxicroak, Male, Relaxed, Lv.54
Poison Jab, Brick Break, Sludge Bomb, Nasty Plot
Impressions: A rounded moveset has given Toxicroak the final push he needed. He's now a Grade-A ass-kicker, even taking down Pokemon he should barely be able to scratch due to type mismatches, and kicking the snot out of them after a couple of Nasty Plots.
Omastar, Male, Mild, Lv.54
AncientPower, Mud Shot, Ice Beam, Surf
Impressions: I've come to the conclusion that Omastars are a dream to raise. I barely seem to use him in comparison to Pokemon like Pinsir or (before) Dragonair, but he never seems to drop behind in level. I've realised that's because he OHKOs most opposition without even blinking, and he levels up quickly too.
Mismagius, Female, Docile, Lv.54
Confuse Ray, Charge Beam, Shadow Ball, Dark Pulse
Impressions: Like Omastar but even more extreme. She levels up ridiculously fast, and hits just as hard as Omastar. The only downside is that when opponents get a hit in - most often with Sucker Punch (hate that move) - she takes a fair old bit of damage.
Girafarig, Female, Sassy, Lv. 54
Zen Headbutt, Psychic, Crunch, Strength
Impressions: I was expecting Girafarig to fade sadly into the background, but partly due to her awesome type combo and partly because she's just so rounded stats-wise, she's still a real staple of many battles.
Dragonite, Male, Adamant, Lv.55
Dragon Dance, Dragon Rush, Waterfall, Fly
Impressions: I haven't used him since Update 8, because I've been evening out my team's levels to match his.
Pinsir, Male, Quiet, Lv.54
X-Scissor, Swords Dance, Rock Tomb, Brick Break
Impressions: Pinsir spends the most time at the front of my party - not because he's my favourite, but because he takes twice as much XP to raise as any other team member. He's got to the stage now though where he can take down pretty much any opponent, especially after a Swords Dance or two - as a few Weezing on Cycling Road can testify.
