In Colosseum and XD, your team would have been made up of mostly Shadow Pokemon - but which ones did you use that you found to be pretty useful (or maybe useless?).

Personally Quagsire was a surprisingly useful one in Colosseum. I know Skiploom was considered decent as well due to Sleep Powder, although personally Ampharos' Thunder Wave was good for catching stuff for me. The Ralts line in XD was good too, especially when taught Thunderbolt. =)

For Colosseum, I seem to always end up with the Shadow Pokemon that are found in Pyrite, like Quagsire, Skiploom, Flaaffy, and Misdreavus. In XD I found Dusclops very useful for stalling and support. Was very helpful when I needed to Revive some Pokemon (since Shadow was super effective on regular Pokemon, and people had nearly full teams of them towards the end, they'd all be knocked out).

Argh D: I don't know who was better, I'd say the Johto starters from Colosseum always found their way onto my team, along with Flaffy and Mantine.

From XD it has to be the Ralts family, they were like beasts ;o;

In Colosseum, the Vibrava and Swablu were all I used in my first run. After getting Earthquake on Flygon, I destroyed everyone everywhere with Ice Beam off Altaria and EQ off Flygon, no exceptions.

The Johto starter was obviously quite useful, and I used Sudowoodo for a while, but outside of that I never actually used the others for more than just getting rid of Shadow.

In XD I always used 1-2 of the Shadow Pokemon obtained from the sextuplets. I once used Teddiursa, and that did pretty good damage for a long time. Houndoom obviously is a good choice, but I don't remember the others right now.
