Crystal: Will this team win the whole game?
 
This is the final build:

Shiny Typhlosion (Heh so happy about him, he was my starter- without SR :D)
Poliwrath - Surf
Victreebell - Cut
Pidgeot - Fly
Tyranitar - Possibly Strength
Sycther or Kadabra


What I have now:

Shiny Typhlosion
Poliwag
Bellsprout
Pidgeotto
Abra


What should I change and will this get me past the E4 and red?

Honestly? Pretty anything will get you through the game, just as so long as you're at a decent level (though even if you aren't, if you have the advantage, you can beat like... Blue with Pokemon that are ten levels below his. >> -has done it multiple times in her games- )

Between Scyther and Kadabra, though? I would have to say Kadabra. It's always good to have a Psychic pokemon your team, and Poliwrath can do the handling of beating up Dark foes, just as do long as you give him a fighting move. :3 If you don't however, I would choose Scyther, make sure he has a bug Move, and use him against Dark foes.

Kadabra might be the better choice in general though.

Sorry, I didn't really know. I heard Red had some beastly Pokemon. By the way, is getting Tyranitar hard?

white lancer May 8th, 2009 8:12 PM

Getting Tyranitar can be pretty hard because you can't catch his evolved form until the very end of the game. You won't be able to use him until you've beaten ALL of the gym leaders including the 8 from Kanto.

BebopMagnum May 9th, 2009 12:15 PM

Can't I get a larvitar pretty early though?

Pokeyomom May 9th, 2009 12:58 PM

Yeah, but you can only get him after youve beaten all the gym leaders; Kanto and Johto. You wont be able to get larvitar till the end anyways, so I would pick something else for the time being.

The Green One May 9th, 2009 1:34 PM

If you're using Scyther you pretty much need to have Swords Dance, Double Team, Agility and Fury Cutter. Make yourself untouchable.

Sorry, I meant unevolved form. You can't get Larvitar until Mt. Silver (which you can only access after you've beaten everything in the game except for Red), so it's not good for a team member unless you trade one over for another game.

Yesh just like Binary said,

Pokemon game would be easily be defeated once you have decent level pokemon

and some well-balanced team.

Pokecrazed May 16th, 2009 7:13 PM

yeah a high enough Tyranitar could wipe out the elite four and red, all alone no problem, I've done it, get it to maybe LV 90 knowing rockslide, crunch, earthquake, and some other broad attack move (like fire blast/fire punch), and your all set.

and you would have to trade one in to use it before MT. silver so its hard to do.

Pokematt17 May 17th, 2009 6:40 PM

wow...i find i can usually go through the game if i overpower the starting pokemon. That's a little cheap though, i suppose

~*!*~Tatsujin Gosuto~*!*~ May 24th, 2009 9:38 AM

the game is pretty easy, you can have wack Pokemon and still beat it

ur pkmn will have to be at a really high level (77-85) just so u know. if he hasnt changed pkmn from g/s to crystal they should be espeon, charizard, pikachu, venasaur, blastoise, and snorlax, with most of them beign at level 77 or around and pika at level 81.

"Shiny Typhlosion (Heh so happy about him, he was my starter- without SR )
Poliwrath - Surf
Victreebell - Cut
Pidgeot - Fly
Tyranitar - Possibly Strength
Sycther or Kadabra


What I have now:

Shiny Typhlosion
Poliwag
Bellsprout
Pidgeotto
Abra"

i recomend removing, poliwag, bellsprout, and pidgeotto, keep, typhlosion, abra, and scyther.
recomended moves for typho. thunderpunch, earthquake, fireblast, and some other strong move,
abra, after evolving wait till it learns psychic and recover, then trade it to make it evolve and get it back, teach it dynamic punch and shadow ball, it should stand a good chance vs dark and ghost.
get a normal type such as a taurus, ursaring, or miltank they are pretty strong and cover ur blind spots and reinforce other types. tyranitar is good but as some one already said u dont get to catch one till the end and u catch it like at level 25 or so.
build your team around your main pkmn, thats a very important point in considering what pkmn you should have in a line up, fo ex, get a water typr like gyarados or lapras, that can learn , electric, grass, psychic, fire, rock, ground moves (btw both of them)

but if u decide to keep ur team give balance them, give them protein, carbos, iron, hp up ok level them up by defeating the elite 4, use the old switcharoo, start a bttle with a weak pkmn then switch to a stronger one to share exp. points. good luck if u need any help let me know

zappy_flash May 31st, 2009 8:25 PM

Since your team has the good variety in types im with you all the way with that team

Isabelle June 1st, 2009 12:55 AM

If your pokemons level are high. You could beat all the trainers like a piece of cake.
