Haven't played since Red/Blue, need help building a team for competitive play in X
Alright, here goes. Haven't played since generation 1 when it was new, but got hyped up for pokemon again after watching IGN's video review. Ordered a 3ds XL with Pokemon X yesterday.
Anyways, i'd like to get into the competitive scene because i like playing multiplayer games like BF3 and what not. Only problem is the mind-boggling amount of pokemon i've missed in my abscence. Here's the criterias for my team - One pokemon from each generation needs to be present - No OP or overused pokemons. I'd much rather prefer those that are quite unusual on the competitive scene Some pokemons i like based on design after a quick look are these : Lucario Blaziken Umbreon/Psychic Cat version also, forgot the name Krookodile Noivern Raichu Blastoise Doomdog or devildog forgot the name Skarmory Abomasnow Gigalith Flygon Simisage Bisharp |
I love you. doom dog and the psychic cat made my night. if you want to get into battling go to smogon, especially if you want to look at the tiers. you can search for your pokemon and if theyre in an overused tier (aka, theyre used by pretty much everyone) you can decide if you want them or not. sorry im not really the right person to make a lot of suggestions, aside from that if you want to avoid op pokemon, you might wana kick blaziken off your team. blaziken was the first starter pokemon to be deemed uber, which is usually a tier reserved only for legendary pokemon.

Smogon is also in the process of updating and has nothing for any of the new pokemon (and megas) yet. It will be a while before we see anything from them, with new tier testing and whatnot. I'll let the singles players try to come up with something for you, but what I can tell you is that a good deal of what's in and what's not has been thrown out with the new metagame.

Doomdog and Psychic Cat are probably Houndoom and Espeon, if I guessed correctly.
Not much I can say at the moment but good luck. |

--------------------------- The pokemon i've decided upon so far are 1. Blastoise/Lapras can't decide which one, i'd like to have it as a wall @leftovers Surf Ice Beam Protect/Thunderbolt Toxic 2. Blaziken physical attacker @zoom lens Blaze Kick Stone Edge Sky Uppercut Night Slash 3. Raichu if i choose Blastoise @choice scarf thunderbolt hidden power ice focus blast volt switch 4. i guess this would be a flying type maybe Dragonite or Noivern how does the team look so far? |

Anything else lacking? |
I think you could use a good Psychic type with a nice Special Attack stat, such as Gardevoir or Alakazam.

What about Sigilyph? SP attack stat is lower than the two you mentioned, but Psychic/Flying could help with my teams overall defensive weakness against ground |
