    Drifblim is very good, especially In Nuzlocke/, with a few easy to find heart scales you can give it strength sap and minimize. It can also support the team with tail wind. Also it can set up and baton pass to others. It gets electric and psychic coverage, but it’s main tanky stall position is what’s so good about it

Mine will be named Yuki: Based on the first part of Froslass’s Japanese name, “Yukimenoko” meaning “Snow”, and Yuki from Fruits Basket❄️

I usually name mine Kurara-onna (the Romanized name for the Japanese Icicle Woman)or Shiro-hime (white princess).

The only that might, Rotom Heat, isn't really one that I care much about either. I did come up with a Mismagius as backup though that one's probably redundant offensively with Weavile one the planned team as well.

    • @Blaze4ification
      @Blaze4ification Před 2 lety +6

      Especially for gen 1, when dark, steel, and fairy didn't exist. Actually that would've been a neat idea for a game, especially in ORAS or Let's Go PE since they went deep into the alternate timelines. Instead of being grass and sleepy Eirika is a fairy specialist and is all peppy, maybe Giovanni isn't the gym leader for the 8th gym, instead it's Karen, Agatha's granddaughter who becomes the 4th member of the elite 4 in Johto games. Surge is a steel type because they saved him in the war instead of electric Pokemon, so he's got a Magneton (...or Magnezone) as his signature. Blaine was saved by a fire Pokemon who he thought was Moltres in the original games, but what if instead it was Galarian Moltres, so he's a dark or flying type user instead of fire (though that means no Karen, unless she was a fire gym leader because her main Houndoom is fire dark, and yes this also means some Johto Pokemon should be in it OF WHICH LET'S GO SHOULD'VE DONE, FRLG did it).
      I also left feedback for BDSP back when the 1st trailer came out, because it looks like a copy paste DP (so far still does outside of small touches). One suggestion I made was maybe Flint is the 8th gym leader while Volkner took his spot in the elite 4, because we got there too late, or their roles just swapped because they are best friends and rivals, Volkner just beat him to the elite 4 in some alternate timeline. That also means Sunnyshore isn't as advanced since Volkner doesn't have time to tinker and isn't home as much.

    I'm currently playing through BDSP (again). But this time I have Shining Pearl on my normal Switch, and Brilliant Diamond on my Switch OLED. Here are my teams:
    SP: Infernape, Alakazam, Gengar, Gastrodon (West Sea), Togetic, and Drapion.
    BD: Infernape, Cherrim, Skuntank, Golduck, Garchomp, and Mamoswine.
    (I know Infernape, Luxray, Crobat are same, and I used Crobat and Luxray in my last playthrough. But Infernape is the one Sinnoh starter I haven't used, and I felt like I needed an Electric-type and a Flying-type on my team for both playthroughs.)
    I basically tried to go for Pokemon I haven't used before. (Getting Alakazam and Gengar was pretty easy, since I have both games on 2 separate consoles.)
    Edit: I realized that with Infernape, there was no need for Crobat. (Added Crobat back into the party.)
    Edit 2: Just recently caught Dialga/Palkia. Didn't add them to the party since I have already have used them before.
    Edit 3: I know Garchomp and Gastrodon are the same, but I have never used either of them before. So now, 5 of the 6 are the same between both games.
    Edit 4: Changed my teams to ones that I think would be best suited to take on the Elite 4.
    Edit 5: Beat the Pokemon League and got the National Dex in both games.

No more than 2 weaknesses to a single type, resists or immunities for everything, a mix of speed and bulk with answers for Garchomp, and STAB coverage for everything in the game. The only potential issues I can see with it are requiring 2 Shiny Stones + a Razor Claw, and Bastiodon is Pearl exclusive (I would’ve used Aggron since it’s cooler but that’s postgame). Also Weavile is lategame so it’s not around for Fantina where it’d be really helpful.

    I have an insanely original idea: infernape, luxray, staraptor, garchomp, lucario, togekiss. Wow nobody has ever used that.

      Overall,and not worrying about defense,the team is strong,the Pokémon are strong,but you don’t have offensive stab for ground and psychic,both of which have elite four,and you don’t fair well defensively well against ice and ground,I recommend switching out staraptor for weavile,it’s not weak to Ice or ground,which sure,eliminates an immunity for stab coverage,but that would give you a stab súper effective the two types that you don’t have stab for,that would fix a lot of problems,mainly since having staraptor and togekiss in the same team is redundant unless you worry about backup,

      I used Floatzel instead of togekiss, which is even more original, I know. I’m a genius.

    I wanted to say my team...because it fits with the theme of the video.
    guess i'd do it here.
    (and I have also never played through Sinnoh before)
    Infernape, Staraptor, Roserade, Luxray, Gastrodon, and either Clefable or Weavile. (I wasn't sure which one would have better coverage. Plus I have never used either of these two before, and I wanted to see how i'd do with it.)
    Also, yes I know I am using 4 of the generic 6. I only dont have Garchomp because I forgot about Wayward cave lol.

    My original team was torterra toxicroak drifblim girafarig luxray floatzel. But on my second playthrough (get ready) milotic donphan cumerupt magnezone myghtyena gastrodon. The first one was prettey casual using also friendship and the second one was far more balanced: i negated friendship using herbs, i also didn’t heal that much in battle, i didn’t revive and i used more than 20 pokemon during my adventure. I suggest everyone using more than 6 pokemon you can always exchange them and make really cool strategies. For those wondering, my starter was piplup
    Edit: i think friendship ruins the game. You can beat the league even without helps like those and with enough strategy the game and the league can be manageble. I suggest trying it out. USE HERBS PLS
