Is it a good team for gold?
 
Ok I am playing Silver and i am up to eurateak. I have in my team:
Lvl 26 croconaw
surf
ice punch
cut
bite
Lvl 20 flaffy
thunder wave
growl(I think?)
tackle
thundershock
Lvl 20 noctowl
peck
tackle
hypnosis
foresight
Lvl 13 togepi
growl
flash
metronome
shadow ball
And a
Lvl 20 sudowodo
rock smash
rok throw
mimic
low kick
Is it a good team and besides lvling up I need advice to make it better
Edit: I am sorry its silver
Also the moves are in
It is silver not gold

shadoweagle89 April 10th, 2008 8:05 AM

I would get rid of the last two. And you kinda wasted shadow ball on togepi. Level the rest up to where Croc is now. Also, teaching Flaaffy Fire Punch is a good idea.

Mitchman April 10th, 2008 8:11 AM

k thnx so sudowodo and togepi out. Any suggestions on what to put in those slots
By the way the cloning cheat works like a charm for me so I have about twenty of those. Also I am pretty fast seeing as my game gives noctowl/flaffy 700 exp for every battle they won so It isgoing very fast for me

shadoweagle89 April 10th, 2008 8:21 AM

Well in that case, since you are using the cloning cheat...
you could get an abra, teach it ice and thunderpunch, raise it to a kadabra, trade it, and train it up to whatever level the rest of them are at. also, since you can go back now cause sudo is gone, you could go back to sprout tower and pick up a gastly and raise + trade that too. shadow ball on gastly would be excellent.

Mitchman April 10th, 2008 8:41 AM

Yea but I am using the four battery game-boy of yore. I can't trade and I always usethe same team and win. I need something better. I forgot were is larvitar Can I get it befor E4?

shadoweagle89 April 10th, 2008 9:34 AM

Wow, go buy a new one...
Larvitar is in Mt. Silver, so no.

Mitchman April 10th, 2008 9:40 AM

Damn I want to but I am waitin for my birthday were I am getting a ds-lite most probably so Just tell me what 2 pokemon I can get t thi point to make it better

shadoweagle89 April 10th, 2008 9:49 AM

Just so you know, because I didn't know this at first either, but the DS Lite doesn't play GB/GBC games. They're too big for the slot.

And you could catch a Nidoran M, and evolve that up. Nido is one of my favorites. Tauros is decent and can learn pretty good moves. You can try him too. Zubat is pretty good too, when he gets up to a Crobat.

Mitchman April 10th, 2008 10:09 AM

Yea I know it cant take game-boy/color games. I had the original ds and about 30 games for it so I cant see the reason to by a Game-boy Sp. Thnx bout the pokemon suggestions

Bloodbane April 11th, 2008 3:04 AM

good team for now
filler

Mitchman April 11th, 2008 4:19 AM

Thnx I already know that just asking

dtrain24 April 12th, 2008 8:43 PM

My suggestion- Before you go to the elite 4, go back to Dragon's Den in Blackthorn City. Catch a Dratini, and raise it. I now have a really powerful Dragonite.

Mitchman April 13th, 2008 12:34 AM

Thats what I was thinking but having a 5-team list is going to be hard isn't it?
I need a pokemon up to that point and then get dratini.

dtrain24 April 13th, 2008 5:33 PM

Well, as shadoweagle89 said earlier, A Zubat would be good. Just evolve it o a Golbat, and raise it to a Crobat. A Haunter would be great, also, with a good moveset. Also, catch an Ekans, and evolve it t an Arbok. Also, a Bellsprout works, get a Weephinbell. Thats all the advice I have. Hope that helps alot! :D

hunt587 April 13th, 2008 5:48 PM

as for you dratini problem, just go to the game corner and buy enough coins and get it there.

milktank believe it or not, is a good pokemon as long as it knows milk drink. also you should try raising a fire pokemon such as growlthite or vulpix (only if you have a fire stone!) also you chould catch the lugia before the E4 and teach it some good moves cause it has a wide variety. the only problem with the gold/silver is that there are no pokemon before the E4 (with the exception of the fire starter and ho-oh) that you can evolve (i think). you might be able to catch a magmar but i dont remember

Mitchman April 14th, 2008 3:59 AM

tnx everyone and a fire pokemon is something I really dont want. A crobat is soething I want but you have the stupid happiness rule wich I cant stand. gah.

. April 14th, 2008 5:11 PM

Ah! My favorite generation, though I absolutely despise Croconaw, and wish you chose Typhlosion, I'll critique it.

Let's start off with Croconaw, why would you put Cut on your main and most likely strongest Pokemon-to be? Ice Punch, Surf and Bite (change it to Crunch if possible, is that even in this gen?) are good, though Bite should go.

Remove all but Thunderwave and Thundershock. Even standard, sucky moves are better than those. I'd reccomend you find Thunderbolt and other high powered moves.

Noctowl is good, keep Hypnosis and get rid of the fillers moves for better flying type attacks. I'd reccomend Confusion and Wing Attack, but eh, that's just me.

Togepi? Not really favorable. Replace with Gengar or Alakazam. Preferably Gengar.

Sudowoodo? Overrated, replace it with a bulky fire type like Houndoom (if it's availible) Rapidash, Arcanine, or even Onix if you need to keep rock.


That's my two cents, take it or leave it.
