Only at the third gym, so should explain that.

Just started a new playthrough of Platinum. Currently at Oreburgh and haven't challenged the gym yet. Team is:

Turtwig, Shinx, Starly and Geodude.

I was toying with the idea of adding a Machop, though it'd only be until I caught a Ralts, since I'm planning on using Gallade for my fighter. I don't think I will though - I'm probably going to just teach Rock Smash to the Geodude and use it (and Turtwig) against Roark. And for that matter, I'm probably going to end up swapping the Geodude for something else (I have no idea what yet) later on anyway.


*Edit to update*

Just cleaned out the Galactic Building in Veilstone. The team I used for that was Gallade, Staraptor, Torterra, Luxray, Vaporeon and Houndoom. I've also got a Rotom and a Scyther that I've been swapping in and out of the team, and a Bibarel and a Tropius for HM duties. I'm planning on catching a Snorunt to evolve into a Froslass, though I'm not sure how much I'll use it. It's just pretty much the only thing left in Platinum that I haven't tried yet.

Ehhhm, If I remember correctly on my Soul Silver version.. something along of the lines of;

Jaws (Croconaw)

Lv. 28

Shadow (Umbreon)

Lv. 27

Ivy (Weepinbell)

Lv. 29?

Spooky (Haunter)

Lv. 28?

Fox (Vulpix)

Lv. 27

Sabrina (Xatu)

Lv. 29

In Soulsilver, my team is: Tira (Luxray), Snowflake (Froslass), Flare (Charizard), Inferno (Charizard, shiny), and Mewtwo. All of them are level 100. (I already beat Red.) I am also raising a Camerupt and a Shiftry.

In Pearl, on the other hand, I did a Nuzlocke. At the end I had only a Mismagius nicknamed "Danger" (All the other Pokémon I brought to the League fainted.). She is level 74 now.

This is my Platinum team.

Just challenged the E4 in Platinum, but lost. I went in with the same team I'd been using:

Staraptor
Torterra
Luxray
Gallade
Houndoom
Vaporeon

All were at level 50 going in, which I knew was underleveled, but I wanted to see how they'd do. They actually made it all the way through the E4 and most of the way through Cynthia, but between her Garchomp and her Lucario, they just couldn't quite pull it off. So now we're going to go grind some more - I'm shooting for about level 54 or so - then we'll try again.

My team is probably really bad lol but it's got some of my favorites

Feraligatr lv76
Dragonite lv56
Snorlax lv 52
Tentacruel lv 41
Jolteon lv31
Houndoom (I haven't got him yet but I plan to before i challenge Red again)

I'm grinding right now, trying to get all of them around level 70 so I can try and beat Red again. The tentacruel I don't really use in battle, he's more of an HM slave

Proud of this team.

SoulSilver

I used these guys for my last Platinum run:
Empoleon, Gallade, Scyther, Staraptor, Gengar, Garchomp

I was about 10 levels below the champion but I still beat her.

And beat the E4 and Cynthia last night in Platinum with the same team, all at level 54. The full run-down:

Pretty solid team, all in all. I was pleased with them.
Now I'm kicking around doing another run - either Platinum again or maybe Diamond or Pearl - with Infernape and... Whiscash maybe? Roserade? Ooh... and Togekiss...

I know almost nothing about competitive teams, but for Heart Gold my post-E4 team seems to be doing well (they're a theme team, bonus points for getting it):

I'm doing Platinum again, and I almost got all of my team members. This is my planned team:
Torterra
Shiny Staraptor (I actually wasn't planning on using this Pokemon at first. After Dawn gave me some Pokeballs, I ran into a Shiny Starly as one of my first few wild encounters, and decided I must use it on my team.)
Golduck
Garchomp
Gardevoir
Houndoom

In SS my E4 team was:
Kabutops
Mr. Mime
Delibird
Nidoking
Persian
Typhlosion

I got tired of using the same 'good' Pokemans, so that's my semi-hipster team.

HG
The best I've ever had in my opinion.

Pidgeot
Slowking
Golem
Gloom
Quagsire
and Magneton

They are all duel-type, and I have strengths all the way up to even being able to beat Red easily...I thought too hard about this one.
