Teams for Each Generation?

    Gonna share the pokemon I used for each generation, as well as my general thoughts on the strength of the teams at the end. Please feel free to do the same! I'd love to hear what teams you guys used.

    Gen 1

    Charizard
    Dodrio
    Victreebell
    Poliwrath
    Rhydon
    Alakazam

    Gen 2

    Typhosian
    Heracross
    Umbron
    Quagsire
    Vileplume
    Donphan

    Gen 3

    Sceptile
    Gardevoir
    Agron
    ludicolo
    Heracross
    Linoone (shiny)

    Gen 4

    Infernape
    Gliscor
    Milotic
    Gallade
    Clefable
    Staraptor

    Gen 5

    Emboar
    Simisage
    Seismitoad
    Sawk
    Krookodile
    Zebstrika

    Gen 6

    Greninja
    Hawlucha
    Garchomp
    Venusaur
    Talonflame
    Bishop

    Gen 7

    Incineroar
    Skarmory
    Granbull
    Ash-Greninja
    Lycanroc-Midnight
    Lapras

    Generally speaking, there's very little in each team I dislike. There are a few times where I used a pokemon out of stubbornness despite their strength in battle, specifically the shiny Linoone I found, but for the most part I think the teams were very solid. Johto and Kalos were probably the strongest all around. Gen 3 was easily the weakest because of the Linoone I mentioned using on my team out of pure determination to use a shiny, although my Unova team probably won't be making any headway if placed into any sort of competitive situation. Sinnoh was easily the hardest to raise, mostly because Milotic took forever to find and Gliscor as well as Gallade had really tedious things needed before they would evolve. (Finding a dawn stone in the underground was pure HELL, don't ever try it.)

    Trying to do this from memory

    Gen 1: (Yellow) Pikachu, Butterfree, Pidgeot, Venasaur, Blastoise, Charizard. Completed the game several times with this team, I've never fully finished Red or Blue, but I did solo it with a Raticate.

    Gen 2: (Silver) Feraligatr, Noctowl, Umbreon, Jynx, Sandslash, Bellosom

    Gen 3: (Leaf Green): Blastoise, Victreebel, Joleteon, Fearow, Dugtrio, Haunter.

    Gen 4: (Platinum) Empoleon, Crobat, Leafeon, Lickilicky, Garchomp, Houndoom

    Gen 5: (White, currently still playing through) Samourott, Zebstrika, Silygliph, Lilligant, Stoutland, and I want Haxorus for the final spot.

    Gen 6: Never played X/Y, Omega Ruby team was Sceptile, Metagross, Greninja, can't remember the rest.

    Gen 7: Original Sun team: Primarina, Miltank, Magnezone, Turtonator, Alolan Raticate, I don't remember the 6th spot.

    Playing through Ultra Sun, and my current team is: Primarina, Alolan Muk, Tsareena, Gengar, Gigalith, and Talonflame.

    Most of these I've played through within the past 3 years, so it's not too hard remembering.

  • Will get back to this when I have time (since there are a bunch of teams I'd have to remember, haha), but this thread is more suited for Pokemon Gaming Central, so I'll move this over there for you.

    MOVED.

    I've played pretty much every game (except blue) so I have a bunch of teams to share. I try not to repeat species so you may find some uncommon pokemon here:

    RED: Venusaur, Primeape, Arcanine, Dodrio, Lapras, Magneton
    YELLOW: Pikachu, Nidoking, Clefable, Charizard, Victreebel, Starmie

    GOLD: Feraligatr, Ariados, Pidgeot, Hypno, Stantler, Hitmonlee
    SILVER: Meganium, Fearow, Alakazam, Ninetales, Sudowoodo, Lanturn
    CRYSTAL: Typhlosion, Politoed, Bellossom, Xatu, Electrode, Piloswine

    RUBY: Hariyama, Illumise, Camerupt, Crawdaunt, Tropius, Dusclops
    SAPPHIRE: Swampert, Manectric, Torkoal, Altaria, Grumpig, Cacturne
    FIRERED: Raticate, Beedrill, Farfetch'd, Steelix, Hitmonchan, Dewgong
    LEAFGREEN: Blastoise, Jolteon, Exeggutor, Weezing, Aerodactyl, Rapidash
    EMERALD: Blaziken, Gardevoir, Ludicolo, Seviper, Flygon, Armaldo

    DIAMOND: Torterra, Staraptor, Luxray, Floatzel, Skuntank, Lucario
    PEARL: Empoleon, Gengar, Medicham, Noctowl, Garchomp, Abomasnow
    PLATINUM: Infernape, Roserade, Togekiss, Rampardos, Octillery, Electivire
    HEARTGOLD: Feraligatr, Ampharos, Dragonite, Venomoth, Machamp, Mismagius
    SOULSILVER: Meganium, Nidoqueen, Yanmega, Girafarig, Kingdra, Skarmory

    BLACK: Serperior, Simipour, Zebstrika, Conkeldurr, Gothitelle, Volcarona
    WHITE: Emboar, Krookodile, Archeops, Sawsbuck, Eelektross, Jellicent
    BLACK2: Emboar, Vaporeon, Sigilyph, Simisage, Haxorus, Accelgor
    WHITE2: Samurott, Leavanny, Magmortar, Crobat, Excadrill, Reuniclus

    X: Greninja, Gallade, Salamence, Rotom-M, Sandslash, Scizor
    Y: Chesnaught, Talonflame, Malamar, Heliolisk, Aurorus, Goodra
    OmegaRuby: Sceptile, Exploud, Gyarados, Absol, Rhyperior, Froslass
    AlphaSapphire: Blaziken, Beautifly, Sharpedo, Claydol, Cradily, Wigglytuff

    Sun: Decidueye, Mudsdale, Espeon, Golisopod, Turtonator, A-Golem
    Moon: Primarina, Vikavolt, Salazzle, Bewear, Palossand, Dhelmise
    UltraSun: Primarina, Lycanroc-D, Oricorio-B, Passimian, Tsareena, Togedemaru
    UltraMoon: Incineroar, Gigalith, Lurantis, Wishiwashi, Oranguru, Mimikyu

    -Overall, there weren't any pokemon I've used that were too terrible. They were all reliable and enough to get me through the games. I don't believe there is a pokemon that is 'too late' to use, as I've used a bunch of late-game pokemon myself such as Dhelmise, Froslass, Scizor, Bouffalant etc. You just have to use it a lot before the Elite Four. I haven't included 2nd run throughs because that would clog up this post even more.
