Back in emerald I had a random Sunkern in my team while fighting kyogre.
I thought I'd let it faint but kyogre used rest then I used endeavor! easy catch!

But for DPPt, I found Banette useful with it's frisk cause it's hard to hunt for rare wild pokemon held items.

Skarmory. Back when I was a kid, I didn't understand the difference between offensive and defensive pokemon. I thought, Skarmory looks really cool, but it doesn't learn great attacks. Little did I know Skarm was one of the best defensive pokemon of the generation.

I never ecxepted a Gyarados to be so owning
Using a Gyarados in-game is too easy; you can just SPAM Dragon Dance and demolish everything in your path.

I was pleasantly suprised the first time I used a light ball on Pikachu. I didn't think it would make a huge difference back then, but it did.

On that note, I'm going to move this to general gaming since it encompasses all generations.

I was hoping you'd do that. Anyway, Bibarel has become the powerhouse of my Pearl team. No, I normally wouldn't have him on here out of personal preference; it's for a challenge. Right now, he's got Hyper Fang, Water Gun, Defense Curl, and Rollout. Everything will be replaced with HMs, but I still think he'll be a contender on my team.

Thanks hon <3 I was wondering about that~ I just put it in DPPt because... I was playing Pt lol.

And Bibarel has got to be one of THE ugliest Pokemon IN EXISTANCE. MADE SOLELY FOR HM SLAVERY. UGH. I hate it being with me all the time but with rock climb/rock smash/strength it's kind of ... necessary.

Raticate > Bibarel for hyperfang user.

Well, yeah. He's going to be the HM slave on my team, and I would prefer Raticate, but as of right now, he's kicking everyone's butt. He took Roark's team by storm. The other two members of my team couldn't do crap at that time.

Also, Unown has saved my butt on Pokemon Stadium 2 more times than I can count.

Linoone has become a Pokemon that I absolutely adore. I used to hate it until I realised how useful it was as an HM slave. It learns most of the HMs and also has Pick Up which is an awesome ability. 8)

I also use the ExtremeSpeed moveset for competitive battling. There's nothing like wiping out a whole team using Linoone.

Girafarig, i used one recently, and found out it has a quite versatile movepool, not-too-bad stats, a decent typing, was a real powerhouse through a big part of the game... In the end still inferior to Staraptor and Clefable, but i honestly never thought Girafarig could be that useful

My Caturne in Emerald, I had it on my team for lulz. Then when I got to the Psychic gym, the rest of the didn't do so well...but Caturne did the whole thing by itself. I also found Banette in Diamond to be a bit useful.

Made by me. What? Were you expecting Pichu?
You think you can understand my art?

He's a beast in the opening of most Pokemon games, and of course, Golem's freakin awesome.

For me, it was Tentacruel. Tentacool was just so common when I was fishing that I much got pissed whenever I saw it. But now that I've actually trained one, I realized it was awesome special wall. It's speed is pretty good, as well.


I'm also slightly insane. :cross-eye
