I'll prolly be using Ampharos in my SS game when I get it. If it wasn't for the fact that I'll be getting Feraligatr for my water, I would prolly have Lanturn instead. Buuut, I'm getting Totodile, and I don't really feel like having a Raichu, so Ampharos it is.

Plus, I want to try to stick with the same team that I had for Silver. Or at least 4/6 of the team (Feraligatr, Ampharos, Espeon, and Bellossom. Last two will be a Fire [either Magmar or Houndoom. Prolly have Magmar until I can get Houndoom] one and a Pokemon I'll be switching around until I'm happy with it.)

Yes, I'll use one, since Ampharos is one of my favorite Pokemon anyway. ^^ I like having an electric type in my teams and Ampharos is my favorite of electric types, so I simply have to have it since this is the region you can originally catch them. I don't remember if I used it in my Silver though, all I remember is that I had Raichu in my Crystal.

By the way. One of the reasons why I started to like Ampharos is it's improved sprite ^^
I mean like.. look for yourself. It became simply gorgeous.

Apparently yes, OR I will do my usual way of choosing Totodile, Pidgeot/Fearow, and Sudowoodo.
Ampharos was a really good one in GSC, I still remember my friend losing to a Geodude (Geo-dude?) because he had all Electric attacks on it in silver.. hahaha...

no, i will be using a psychic or ghost pokemon with an electric move, just as in DPPt. I just don't find ampharos to be a particularly useful pokemon, I used to always have ampharos in GSC though.

Yes I do use it.

I try to use Johto Pokemons (including Pokemons which received babies/evolutions in the 2nd gen, or Pokemons of the 2nd gen which later received new evos/pre-evos) every time I play, to revive the Johto "atmosphere".
And that's one of my favorite Johto Pokemons.

In the original games, my favorite combo was Ampharos and Typhlosion. Both could use Thunder Punch and Fire Punch. Made for a great combo. I'm definitely going to do the same again.

I do like Ampharos' new sprite.

I just don't want to use a Pokemon that been overused in like every HG/SS walkthrough on YouTube. Trying to be original.

I will use the Mareep I just hatched (with decent IVs might I add) as an Ampharos in my E4 team and then it will be replaced by a Shinx/Luxio/Luxray for Kanto. That plus a shiny Flygon and I'll do really well.

When you think about it, there's a limited amount of electric types in the game unless you're going to trade in one or something. I used Ampharos in G/S/C but this time, I think I'll use Raikou or Jolteon. I don't like Ampharos' speed much, even though it's a good Poke.

You could use Lanturn, Electrode, Jolteon, or Magneton (or Magnezone if you trade it to Sinnoh to level it up in Mt. Coronet.)

Magnemite's overworld sprite in my sig is cute.

I already have an Electrode level 70 in Platinum that I'm working on getting to level 100. I have Magneton in my Emerald that I plan to migrate as well. My Raichu is level 71 in Platinum. (Originally from LeafGreen.)


I probably will use Ampharos, because I don't battle competitively. When I first played Gold, I didn't know Mareep's final evolution was Ampharos. I saw Jasmine with Ampharos so that's why I wanted to use it when I did a new game. It's a good Pokemon to have. (I can trade it to Platinum to teach it the elemental punches and trade it back.) If I get both HG and SS, I'll use Ampharos in one of them and maybe Lanturn in the other.

I used Ampharos a few times in GS, so I probably won't use one because I like picking a different team. I might end up using it anyway in a later game though since there usually isn't a lot to pick from in the early game.

One thing that bugs me conserning Ampharos is it's speed. I mean, wtf, an electric type and so slow? But it has one of the most decent Sp.Attack..

Ampharos isn't Steel...?

Anyways, I used Flaafy in the Japanese Soulsilver (didn't bother playing far enough to evolve it further) and used Ampharos in ...I think the original Crystal or Gold. I won't be using it this time. I tend to stick away from the 'default' or 'cookie-cutter' teams. None of my team in D/P/P included the most commonly used Pokémon in those games (Staraptor, Luxray, Infernape, Alakazam, etc.).

Well, lets see.......depends on situation. Magnezone, believe it or not, is faster then Ampharos. Also, it's Special Attack is light-years ahead of Ampharos's. Both of their Special Defense is the same, at 90. However, Ampharos has more HP(90) then Magnezone's(70). Attack and Defense, there's little or no difference. Only Ampharos has 5 more Base Power.
