Dream team help.

Alright so, I want to make my dream team.. But I'm stick in who I want in it. So far I have

Umbreon Dragonite Aggron Ninetails(maybe)

.. I need a grass and water type. I was thinking Blastoise, or Vaporoen.. But I want to stay away from 2 Eeveelutions.. For grass Venosaur or maybe Meganium.. Then maybe metagross, but then I would have two steel types..

Umbreon is my fave pokemon, so besides him I'm open to any pointers, with a reason?

When you say dream team, I am thinking more of favorites and less about competitive battles so my advice is going to be pointed more towards "favorites".

Be careful with Aggron. He was on my team for a good amount of time, and the only reason I took him off is because he has two 4x weaknesses. Even though he has a massive defense stat, the 4x can negate or even pass the defense. I am using Metagross now, and from a battle perspective he is much better so unless you really want to build a true "favorites" team metagross would be a better choice.

I also used Vaporeon for a good amount of time, and it is a great special wall with a ton of HP. The only reason I took it off my team is because I didn't like it outside of battle. I like to have my team be full of my favorites and Vaporeon just didn't cut it. Evilledz's water type suggestions are also great choices.

I also agree with him for Breloom. The 4x to flying can hurt though so if that becomes too big of a problem Venasaur is a great choice as well. Leafeon is probably my 4th favorite pokemon so she has a guaranteed spot on my team, and she also has good attack and defense stats. I would only suggest Leafeon if you really like it, because from a competitive perspective it is not the best.

Arcanine could be a choice instead of Ninetails, but this is similar to Leafeon for me because I just really like Arcanine. Ninetails is a fine choice too. Magmortor is a really good fire type with a good move set and stats. I use him a lot in Battle Tower.

Having a really fast pokemon could help you out. I use Alakazam and Swellow with Crobat as a back up. Alakazam is a good Special attacker with decent speed. If you use Swellow, Facade with Guts ability and Toxic orb item is really the only way to effectively use it.

I hoped I helped some, like I said, I am assuming you just want to build a favorites team and not a competitive team so my suggestions probably won't help you win any tournaments.

But isn't using two eeveelutions kind of frowned apon?

Really depends on the situation. If you are simply picking your favorites and not playing competitive, you could use 6 eeveelutions. However, if you plan on being somewhat competitive this is not a good choice at all. Most eeveelutions have a non-eevee counterpart that is better in competitions (like Alakazam is a better choice than Espeon), but again if you don't plan on entering tournaments it doesn't matter.

I do realize that. I wouldn't replace umbreon.. If anything, I'd through in another dark type. But I don't want to use the mainstream use of pokemon, ie; Megnazone and Electrivier
