So since there was a "common" team to beat D/P with, what is that team for Plat?
 
You know for D/P: (Starter), Staraptor, Luxray, Floatzel, Garchomp, Dialga/Palkia, or something along those lines. What is that "popular/common team from Platinum the most people seem to be going with?

Well, you'll always have several popular teams. More than likely, it will be the same "team" from D/P.

I've personally not seen a Garchomp used on a first playthrough, though the others I can agree with (I always have a Staraptor in my party, and I've had a Luxray in all but my most recent file). With Platinum I've tried to deviate from the norm somewhat, going for Shellos, Gligar and Togepi for my three of the five I currently have.

This is exactly why I like to use Pokemon like Ambipom or Lickilicky.
I am going to stop using my Luxio once I can get a Skorupi and a Tropius.

Tropius will learn Fly instead of Staraptor >: )

Empoleon, Staraptor. After gym 8 I used my EV trained competitive Pokemon from DP (UBARCHOMP).

EJ March 26th, 2009 3:51 PM

From what I've seen:

<Insert final evolution of starter here>
<insert flying type that can learn fly here>
<insert random easy to catch pokemon here>
<insert HM slave here>
<insert surf user here>
<insert cool looking pokemon here>

Lana. March 26th, 2009 3:51 PM

Heh. Instead of Garchomp *eyetwitch* and Dialga/Palkia, I used Rapidash and Bibarel (HM slave because nothing else can learn Rock Climb and several other HMs).
But, yeah, it should be pretty similar. Well, except for those people that are trading over Pokemon from Diamond/Pearl like me, because I'm sure their teams will be different from the one you listed.

aliienboii March 26th, 2009 4:24 PM

i have always used the starting three pokemon that are in that game such as chimchar piplup and turtwig and a pokemon that can learn psychic and electric moves such as ralts.... so that my starting 4.... then bibarel as my hm slave

Tinhead Bruce March 26th, 2009 4:34 PM

I'll give you the team that my friends and I use:
Empoleon/Infernape/Torterra
Luxray
Roserade/Floatzel/Gyarados/Flareon/Houndoom Usually pick 2, one of each of the types your starter isn't
Staraptor/Togekiss
Alakazam/Gengar/Gardevoir

My D/P team wasn't a "common team", it was the team you see in my sig.

Paulie March 26th, 2009 5:20 PM

No common team exactly. Before I transferred my pokemon from pearl to platinum here was my team(NO JOKE)

Chimchar-->--->monferno-->Infernape
Rotom-(Cut)
Kirlia---->Gallade
Staravia--->Staraptor
Roselia--->Roserade
Shinx--->Luxio--->Luxray
