god lv.30(arceus)
Death2all lv.49(giratina distortion form)
Blackace lv.87(empoleon)
Well thats my team xd yeah it sux don't worry ill raise them ok.
 
I wish I could put my Diamond team instead of my Platinum, but I've got a money-saving game-swapping circle going on with my friend, and she has it right now.

Currently my team is a Slugma with five eggs, but for normal play-through and the like I use the following:

Lv.73
Empoleon - Plato
female, Bold
@ ---

Flash Cannon
Surf
Shadow Claw
Drill Peck

Lv.69
Leafeon - Callisto
male, Hasty
@ ---

Energy Ball
Synthesis
Magical Leaf
Strength (Eeveelution in bondage; feels good, man.)

Lv.60
Electabuzz
female, Lax
@ Cheri Berry... ^^'"

Thunderbolt
Rock Climb
ThunderPunch
Discharge

Lv.62
Staraptor - Iz Fieair! (No Questions Please)
male, Brave
@ ---

Defog
Close Combat
Fly
Brave Bird

+ 2 Random Slaves



Honestly, though. They're all slaves to make it easy to traverse the game. I didn't try too hard this time 'round. Definitely looking forward to the US release of HGSS so I can not only re-visit Johto (and re-pwn it) but so I can get Diamond back to play again. I think I prefer it to Pt.
 
What should be my 5th and 6th pokemon?

What should I use? I have a Staraptor, Abomasnow, Feraligatr, and a Linoone.
 
Rock/Ground type to cover your weaknesses (cept the Fighting one, which Staraptor can cover).
And a Dragon, due to their awesomeness (i can give you a Dratini if you want)
 
Since the actual pokemon game is relative easy to beat, I try to use only my favorites, and I might even keep some unevolved just for fun.

I have a level 6X Charmeleon, level 100 Snorlax, level 8X pidgeot, and a level 8X Flygon.
 
Currently, my team consists of the following.

Rattata helped me own my rival's level 74 Empoleon. XD It could have owned it, but then it wouldn't have been level 1. (frowns) So technically, I could have owned Empoleon, but I didn't want Rattata to level up. XD

About my Torterra and Gyarados owning a level 100 Infernape, I was battling my cousin who had a level 100 Infernape (that I trained!) and it was a double battle. I had already knocked out the rest of his pokemon and only Infernape remained. I'm pretty sure that Gyarados used waterfall and Torterra used Earthquake and owned my cousin's Infernape. (sighs) Fond memories.
