Gham Posted February 22, 2021 Share Posted February 22, 2021 Currently as I await episode 19 (as if im unique in that regard), Ive been trying out new team combinations and breeding pokemon to experiment with in the future. Want to know who you guys use that would be fun to check out. Between Excadrill, Mega Pinsner, Dragonite, azumarill etc. there are a lot of good OP physical attackers but I rarely use Special attackers to build teams around. Who do yall love? Who was your unsung hero of your playthroughs? Looking to escape the enchantment of my PC filled with stacked pseudo legendries Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jace3 Posted February 22, 2021 Share Posted February 22, 2021 Well you can see underrated in many ways for some players.... so I will name some of the ones I never used until Reborn, but I will also include some I love to use: - Porygon-Z (Never was a huge fan of normal type pokemons) but this one is a glass canon - Kingdra with Switf Swim - Love to Play with Zoroark (High Speed and Special Attack), It can also learn Flamethrower so there are some move variaties. - Volcarona - Gardevoir with Mega Stone - Psiana and Jolteon are not bad - Froslass with an Alola Nintelaes (Also not bad with Special Attack and Speed) and Snow Warning (You can spam Blizzard and it never misses, also Froslass is harder to hit in a Snowstorm) - Hydreigon got good Special Attack These are only some suggestions and by god there are many more. As for what I'm using the most I guess it is Zoroark or if I'm building a team around something then I think the Froslass combination is fun to play with. Same goes with something like Typhlosion and Sunny Day (Spam Eruption or something like that). And if I'm not mistaken, Mega Gardevoir got the highest special attack of all the fairy type pokemons. Here a Screenshot of my box (I completed the dex so spoilers ahead) Spoiler That is what I'm using so far, and I'm still expanding in preperation of E19 :D cause I got nothing else to do. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats a good list. I also am hopping to get a swampert mega stone in episode 19 and thus have prepared a Pelliper ahead of time, somaybe a kingdra would be fun with dat drizzle! Also: What Spread and moves are you running on the metagross? been thinking of breeding mine but like am too lazy and want to know it will be useful.

RocketOSullivan Posted February 23, 2021 Share Posted February 23, 2021 (edited) Starmie is pretty reliable as a strong revenge killer. Good sp. attack, excellent speed, insane movepool including its STABs and the famous BoltBeam. You can even use something like Recover or Rapid Spin depending on the rest of your team. If you plan to go rain Omastar is also a good option. Edited February 23, 2021 by RocketOSullivan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fellowry Posted February 23, 2021 Share Posted February 23, 2021 Ribombee is a really underrated, it hits quite hard and has montrous speed, perfect for stickyweb setup, the only downside is that it has a limited movepool Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also: What Spread and moves are you running on the metagross? been thinking of breeding mine but like am too lazy and want to know it will be useful. On the metagross I'm currently running: EV/IV: Attack and Speed on 252 Moves: Zen-Headbut. Bulletpunch, Meteor Mash, Agility Items: Quick Claw When the TMs Earthquake is available I would reconsider the Moveset. Also I think, every moveset relies on your team sync. With this build I rely on 1 agility boost. After that it can sweap a lot of teams. I choose the moveset, because I don't have a lot of steel type moves. You can also choose to change the EV/IV to Attack and HP, so it can tank more. Since I want to be a speedy one, I also have a jolly nature. So far it worked. You can also use a Pokemon with Baton Pass for a set up. A set up Metagross is unstoppable like a Ninjask with speed boost and a Focus Sash or stuff like that.

Ya see Metagross such a good mon and im always tempted to breed it. rn ive been using a baton pass scolipede strat with iron defense/boost to give mega gardevior an OP stored power, and being able to pass to two pokemon would be pretty cool.

I might actually train one since sticky webs will nerf most enemies. also i hate how slow araquanid is and so in terms of sticky webs, id take ribombee over the spider Galvantula any day.

Also appreciate the "budget Alakasam" haha you are not wrong. While I hesitate to use too many mons that need weather or set up to be good (as most of mine already need that) which makes me more inclined to look at Mega Abomasnow, who is super awesome. He's in a PC box called "needs to be trained" and has been since I caught it in 2019 haha. Maybe its time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Locust Posted February 27, 2021 Share Posted February 27, 2021 Magcargo, Shiinotic, and Drifblim have proven to be invaluable on my runs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
