    On a first play through of the game I'll only use pokemon of that generation.
    My team in X was
    Greninja
    Talonflame
    Pangoro
    Sylveon
    Aegislash
    Goodra

    For Y
    Delphox
    Gourgeist
    Aurorus
    Avalugg
    Noivern
    and... Pangoro. I really like Pangoro.

  • This was my team that I cleared the game with about two years ago.

    - Lucius the Delphox
    - Rose the... Roserade
    - Melody the Meinshao
    - Kamex the Blastoise (uh... no I wasn't that uncreative, Kamex just so happens to be the username of a good friend of mine)
    - Harkness the Sylveon
    - Shanoa the Crobat

    Most of them ended up being exactly level 70 by the time I beat the Champion, except for Harkness who was level 72. Looking back on this team now, I sort of regret planning my team in my usual Water/Grass/Fire/Flying/Fighting/Wildcard set up, but it will be what it will.

  • First hall of fame entry in Y was on 3/17/16 (I got the game on the 16th), with a team of:
    Delphox
    Talonflame
    Venusaur
    Pangoro
    Aegislash
    Lapras

    All around level 60-70.

    Okay so clearly I played Y a little different to everyone else... I rotated like 20 Pokemon when I got to the Elite Four. It was mostly because it's so easy for your Pokemon to level up in Y thanks to the lengthy gameplay between the first and second badges, the EXP share and the relatively low levels of gyms, trainers and elite four. It meant I was able to rotate heaps of Pokemon and never fall behind. So, read and weep...

    Mew Lv 65 Synchronise
    Calm Mind / Metronome / Dazzling Gleam / Psychic
    Someone traded this to me for a Lv30 Floette, wtf?! It's also the closest thing I have to a Fairy type, with Dazzling Gleam and a Pixie Plate. Calm Mind when it comes in because of good speed and defence stats and Metronome just for shits and gigs because it's cool and you can risk it with a Mew.
    Abomasnow Lv63 Snow Warning (Mega)
    Blizzard / Ice Shard / Ice Punch / Wood Hammer
    Annoying that Ice Punch is the most powerful physical Ice move, as Abomasnow's attack is better than its special attack, but this is a cool Pokemon as long as you don't use it against a fire-type. Its mega type looks wicked.
    Blastoise Lv64 Torrent (Mega)
    Iron Defense / Surf / Skull Bash / Aqua Tail
    GREAT all-round stats. Defence boosts turn it into a physical wall and Surf is great as we all know.
    Aegislash Lv64 Stance Change
    Retaliate / Iron Head / King's Shield / Shadow Ball
    Awesome to switch into with Retaliate and King's Shield against physical types. I love the strategy of using Aegislash. Fun.
    Gogoat Lv63 Sap Sipper
    Horn Leech / Earthquake / Leaf Blade / Energy Ball
    One of my fav Pokemon of this gen. Looks super cool and boasts pretty great attack stats. Earthquake to cover some weaknesses.
    Scrafty Lv61 Moxie
    High Jump Kick / Crunch / Bulk Up / Brick Break
    Another of my favourites and if I was to cut this down to six Pokemon, Scrafty would be in it. Terrific defences and good Atk stat as well. Lead with a Bulk Up and then it deals huge damage with High Jump Kick and stab on all its moves.
    Avalugg Lv61 Own Tempo
    Double-Edge / Rest / Skull Bash / Avalanche
    About ready to dump Avalugg. Better early on when you face less Pokemon with special moves, and fun to play strategy with but it's Sp Def stat is rubbish so cool against physical Pokemon but pretty useless otherwise.
    Absol Lv63 Super Luck (Mega)
    Swords Dance / X-Scissor / Night Slash / Future Sight
    Another of my favourites. Wish it had better defences.
    Rhyperior Lv62 Solid Rock
    Stone Edge / Earthquake / Rock Polish / Drill Run
    Got the perfect set goin on this one I reckon. Rock Polish allows it to hit first against most Pokemon and both Stone Edge and Earthquake are powerful. I might replace Drill Run with an electric move to cover its weaknesses.
    Talonflame Lv65 Flame Body
    Overheat / Steel Wing / Fly / Aerial Ace
    Having a fire Pokemon this fast is so good. Love Talonflame, the grey underbody is a bit ugly, but a great Pokemon.
    Heracross Lv61 Guts (Mega)
    Take Down / Megahorn / Close Combat / Swords Dance
    Another favourite, running all out on Atk. :cool:
    Magnezone Lv64 Sturdy
    Thunder / Flash Cannon / Metal Sound / Discharge
    Sturdy means it can survive an Earthquake, and it has the most resistances of any type. Aimed with Metal Sound and two stab Sp Atk moves of both its types, this is a great Pokemon.
    Yveltal Lv64 Dark Aura
    Focus Blast / Oblivion Wing / Hurricane / Dark Pulse
    Obviously a beast. Focus Blast to cover two of its weaknesses. Oblivion Wing might be the best move the game has ever seen, I love it so much and it looks cool as too.
    Malamar Lv63 Contrary
    Foul Play / Swagger / Psycho Cut / Hypnosis
    Another favourite. I love using Swagger/Foul Play and Contrary is a fucking wicked ability. Good Pokemon to start with.
    Lapras Lv63 Water Absorb
    Surf / Blizzard / Ice Beam / Brine
    Yet another favourite. Has great all-round stats, save for being a bit slow, so can survive most hits. Surf, Ice Beam and Blizzard all capable of big damage and then Brine finishes them off strong.
    Gengar Lv64 Levitate (Mega)
    Toxic / Shadow Ball / Curse / Hex
    Loses Levitate when it megaevolves annoyingly, but a dope Pokemon as we all know well. I love using Toxic/Hex, Shadow Ball fucking rules thanks to its high Sp Atk, and there's Curse for when you're up shit creek without a paddle
    Dragonite Lv63 Inner Focus
    Dragon Dance / Draco Meteor / Dragon Claw / Flamethrower
    Might replace Dragon Dance... what do you reckon? Maybe Calm Mind... since Dragon Claw already gets STAB. Not quite as good as I remembered, and Dragonair might be the best looking Pokemon in the game. But still damn good.
    Delphox Lv63 Blaze
    Flamethrower / Psychic / Fire Spin / Fire Blast
    My starter. Fire Spin/Flamethrower most often, Fire Blast for the big jobs, and having stab Psychic rules.
    Raichu Lv64 Static
    Light Screen / Nuzzle / Wild Charge / Electro Ball
    Nuzzle>Electro Ball is fucking so good, particularly when thanks to its high Speed Raichu is faster than most already. Wild Charge to take advantage of its high Attack. Not sold on Light Screen. Thinking of Double Team maybe... or Reflect, as its Defence is lowest stat.
    Lucario Lv60 Steadfast (Mega)
    Flash Cannon / Calm Mind / Aura Sphere / Close Combat
    Another favourite. This is a perfect set if you ask me. Calm Mind to start with, a fighting and a steel stab Sp Atk move, great stats, and the awesome Close Combat.

    And I have since added...
    Zygarde Lv70 Aura Break
    Crunch / Land's Wrath / Camouflage / Dragon Pulse
    Open to suggestions on this bad boy.
    Mewtwo Lv70 Pressure (Mega)
    Light Screen / Reflect / Psychic / Focus Blast
    Jesus christ, how good is this Pokemon. Huge all-round stats and insane Sp Atk. You have time to set up the barrier moves, and Focus Blast counters Dark and Steel types.

    I've also had Pokemon like Bisharp, Salamence, Drapion and others but I've given up on them. Salamence because its moves were a mess, but I will keep it and transfer to Omega Ruby for the Mega Stone, and Drapion, because I was trying to run a stall/setup set on it (Toxic/Toxic Spikes/Infestation/Crunch) because it only has one weakness but the setups take too long and it doesn't have good special defence so often gets knocked out pretty quick.

    I actually went through the game catching and breeding EVERY pokemon, so by the time I got to the Elite 4 the only pokemon I didn't have that had been bred and raised to level 60 were the 8 Fossil Pokemon you can't get until the post game, so I had 12 boxes full of all the pokemon possible and never had a fixed "team" to go through the game. The final team against the elite 4 however was:

    Greninja
    Slurpuff
    Scizor
    Galvantula
    Skarmory
    Hydreigon (But started off in my team as Zweilous when I first started battling them)

    Aegislash
    Tyrannitar
    Garchomp,and
    Skarmory.

  • When I started playing, I didn't really bother too much with trading and such so my in game team was more or less built off what I had at the time.

    The Elite four team consisted of Delphox, Venusaur, Golurk, Absol, Golduck and Talonflame/Pidgeot. Talonflame and Pidgeot would swap places from time to time, primarily Talonflame was my trademark transportation poke that never leaves my party. Pidgeot had more battle type moves.

    I have to say, normal sans Galewings Talonflame has to be the most useful egg hatcher. A lot of the crew ended up being mothballed and put into Pokebank for posterity in the Hall of Heroes box.. except Talonflame who has never left my hands in the post game.

    At the moment, my in-game team for Y is Braixen, Ivysaur, and Bagon. I'm going to pick up the Lapras for a fourth, and try and get a Larvitar for the fifth. The sixth...eh, I dunno yet. Something from the fourth gen, perhaps. Not the Lucario. Maybe a Rotom, although I doubt I'd be able to reach the Lost Hotel by this coming Tuesday, so I'd have to wait a full week...bah.

  • I haden't played since like 4th gen so I ended up with a pretty generic team. Never ended up at a type dis-advantage though!

    Delphox
    Blastoise
    Roserade
    Pidgeot
    Haxorus
    Aurorus

    (spelling on all those?)
    As soon as I get Pokemon Bank I'm going to transfer all my shinies/IV bred/etc and restart. Kinda want to try futiledevice's idea and swap in-and-out of Pokemon throughout the game.

  • My Y team consists of Delphox, Talonflame, Florges, Hawlucha, Aegislash, and Dragalge.

    My first X team was Chesnaught, Diggersby, Vivillon, Charizard (wanted to use a Mega despite liking Mega Charizard Y more), Tyrantrum, and Clawitzer. I currently have an X playthrough going consisting of Delphox, Noivern, Vespiquen, Snorlax, Heliolisk, and Mienshao.
