Looking for advice/recommendations for a team. I’m not a hardcore competitive player (as you’ll see with my team selections lol), but I do try to make workable teams with the mons I like. I usually run Sun teams, and I try to keep Ninetales and Vileplume as staples. Not concerned with meta picks, just do the best with the options I enjoy. The spread listed isn’t set in stone by any means, just threw some stuff together with typical choices I go with. Options for the sixth slot/replacements: Torkoal, Houndoom, Venusaur, Hydrapple, Arboliva, Sinistcha, Dachsbun, Altaria, Milotic, Tauros (any variant), Tyranitar, Kingdra, Florges. Any other mons you think would have good synergy would be great. I try to avoid paradox Pokemon currently, but Fluttermane, Iron Moth, Slither Wing could all be subbed in.

Thanks for taking a look! Again, this is more so for fun for me. I don’t need to be busting out Ogerpon and Incineroar, etc. on my teams.

I’ve been soft resetting on and off for almost a year now for a shiny starter in HG and finally got a shiny chikorita! so now I’m planning on playing through the game with a shiny meganium, and here’s my planned team so far. What are your thoughts on the team and any suggestions for a final member?

i cant for the life of me think of 2 otjer members

Should I go with scizor or steelix for Heart Gold?

I love Scarlet and Violet and was hoping some people could help me improve my team without removing the pokemon. Each pokemon is now level 100.

Here’s some info:

Species: Scizor Gender: Female Tera Type: Steel Nature: Naughty Ability: Light Metal Level: 100 Moves: Close Combat Iron Head X-Scissors Substitute Species: Iron Valiant Gender: None Tera Type: Fairy Nature: Relaxed Ability: Quark Drive Level: 100 Moves: Close Combat Night Slash Leaf Blade Moonblast Species: Clodsire Gender: Male Tera Type: Ground Nature: Mild Ability: Water Absorb Level: 100 Moves: Poison Jab Toxic Spikes Megahorn Earthquake Species: Charizard Gender: Female Tera Type: Fire Nature: Relaxed Ability: Blaze Level: 100 Moves: Dragon Cheer Air Slash Flamethrower Dragon Claw Species: Espeon Gender: Male Tera Type: Normal Nature: Quirky Ability: Synchronize Level: 100 Moves: Future Sight Dazzling Gleam Shadow Ball Psychic Species: Lunala Gender: None Tera Type: Ghost Nature: Hardy Level: 94 Ability: Shadow Shield Moves: Psychic Ice Beam Moonblast Moongeist Beam

My current team

Swampert lv 62 Power up punch Earthquake Ice beam Waterfall

Salmance lv54 Dragon claw Fire Fang Aerial ace Steel Wing

Absol lv 48 Hone claw Stone Edge Night slash Psycho Cut

What other pokemon and moveset should I use Note this is before the elite 4 the first time

Reworking some of my pre-built teams as they include some necessary options for full type coverage, but ultimately undesirable ones from a personal stance. Is there a calculator of some sort out there that I can input my teams into, then see an actual list of recommended Pokemon that can cover their defensive weaknesses, as opposed to tracking them down manually?

Me and a few of my friends are doing a Nuzlocke and then tournament at the end of Violet/Scarlet, with the mons we have left. I'm not the best at building a functional team for competitive battling and was hoping for some help. I have a azumarill, bellibolt, arboliva, vivillion, magnezone, gardevoir, corvinight, tsareena, palafin, quaquaval, drednaw, ceruledge, baxcalibur, pawmot, dragapult, gyarados, florges, zoroark, arcanine, tsareena, cetitan, iron bundle, and clawitzer. items can be used and it's single battles 6v6. any suggestions are greatly appreciated, thanks in advance!

I have replaced my pickachu for latios what moves should I teach my Pokémon and who should I swap I am heading towards 6 gym leader

Hi Reddit!

I have recently started playing Legends Arceus. Really stuck and confused as to which pokemon should I add to my team. Feel free to suggest bearing in mind I don’t like to have overlapping types in my teams.

Playing Brilliant Diamond on the Switch. I'm a couple gyms into the game and want to make sure the team I've picked is worth grinding.

My team:

Torterra Staraptor Pikachu Haunter Kadabra Gyarados

Any hints/tips or tweaks to my team? I like using iconic Pokemon, but also want a strong team. TIA

Siblings and I are getting together soon so we're gonna have a small tournament.

Rules: one typing, one legendary of that young, one wildcard.

I picked ghost as my typing, recently saw shiny lunala when we were getting the idea for the tournament so that's how I decided 😅, I do see i have a scary dark weakness so I'm wondering if I would make changes.

So far looking to go with toxapex as my wildcard. Honestly can't remember how I reached this idea 😂 I wanted to start by setting up hazards so I guess my first thought was toxapex for toxic spikes. Then have hex on a few of my ghosts and go crazy.

So now I'm second guessing myself, should I change my wildcard to a better hazard setter or further the hazards and put in a bug or fairy to counter dark types? Or use a better hazard setter and take out one of my choices to add a ghost/fairy or ghost/bug?

Hey I could use some help with my pokemon violet team. I want to not use legends, but part of my team is Landorus-Therian so I need some help to get a replacement for my team:

Iron Valiant @ Choice Specs Ability: Quark Drive Tera Type: Fairy EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe Timid Nature IVs: 0 Atk Moonblast Psyshock Aura Sphere Shadow Ball

Kingambit (M) @ Leftovers Ability: Supreme Overlord Tera Type: Flying EVs: 248 HP / 248 Atk / 4 SpD / 8 Spe Adamant Nature Kowtow Cleave Iron Head Sucker Punch Swords Dance

Baxcalibur (M) @ Heavy-Duty Boots Ability: Thermal Exchange Tera Type: Dragon EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe Jolly Nature Glaive Rush Earthquake Ice Shard Swords Dance

Cinderace (M) @ Heavy-Duty Boots Ability: Libero Tera Type: Fire EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe Jolly Nature Pyro Ball High Jump Kick Sucker Punch U-turn

Corviknight @ Rocky Helmet Ability: Pressure Tera Type: Ghost EVs: 248 HP / 8 Atk / 252 Def Relaxed Nature Brave Bird Roost Defog U-turn

Landorus-Therian @ Leftovers Ability: Intimidate Tera Type: Water EVs: 252 HP / 4 Def / 252 SpD Sassy Nature Earthquake Grass Knot U-turn Stealth Rock

My team currently consists of:

• Infernape
• Roserade
• Staraptor
• Floatzel
• Mismagius

I'm not really sure what to put in the last spot, I know I'm a bit weak to psychic/Ice/Electric/Flying but not sure what pokemon should get the last spot to make it as all rounded as possible, all suggestions welcome, I like trying to use slightly obscure options or ones I don't instantly go to (I normally always pick the grass starter cause it makes the game a bit harder and more fun, so this is a new one for me)

I'm currently at gym 5 in HG, my pokemon team has: Feraligatr, Heracross, Acanine, Pidgeotto, Bellosom, Sudowoodo.

Sould I improve anything? My team working pretty well tho

Any help would be appreciated! I was thinking maybe an Ice Type to feed off Glowking’s Chilly Reception and give me another Dragon answer, but any advice on the team as a whole would help.
