Hello All,

I'm currently playing Pokemon White and looking to build a team to go against the league for the second time. I don't want to spend too much time on in depth battle strategy like EV's or IV's. I've never really understood it and have found that the simple approach using type advantage, balanced moveset, and a balanced team can be just as effective and fun. I've setup a basic team below and also outlined some operational guidelines while critiquing. Number 2 is really important, I would like my team to be diverse (with only one repeat).

Base Team:
Gengar
Weavile
Lucario
Flygon
Magcargo
Xatu

Goal Guidelines:
If you find it necessary to suggest an alternative combination:
1) Assume that you have access to all pokemon (Gen 1 - Gen 5)
2) Pull members from each of the five gens. (W/the sixth member pulled from a place of your choosing)

Thank you in advance!
