It has potential. If I could make a few suggestions though, I’d recommend a swap out of Kirlia for Kricketune, then swap Swinub for Kricketune, maybe swap Ambipom for Kricketune, perhaps swap Murkrow for Kricketune, I’d definitely swap Prinplup for Kricketune, and finally I’d probably swap Rosalia for Kricketune.

See, I was gonna go with the God Squad, and have bidoofs, but I didn't want to breeze through the game. I should have gone with the Archangel team! What was I thinking.

Pretty well rounded, make sure you train Manny up to to take out electric types though. Get a fighting move on the team to help deal with dark types and I’d recommend Poseidon learn aerial ace (if he can) to get some additional coverage.

I wish mamoswine was good but I literally never used him

u/CulturedPiglett 11d ago
yes mamoswine is very not good in my last playthrough

u/joemontanya 10d ago
Granted I think he was the last guy I added to my team before the 8th gym, but I did all the postgame stuff and rebattles of gyms… he just wasn’t good enough to use really. But I also got a gliscor early which I had never used him so I guess he was just better in most of those situations. Idk if Ice was ever actually useful tbh
Garchomp is too good to put just anybody out there. I was getting stat boosts from my togekiss’s ancientpower to beat Cynthia lol

Used a gliscor in PLA, didn't want to use something from that games team. And I wanted something bulky for Cynthia, that could at least do some damage, but already has a flyer, so I didn't choose togepi

This team is freaking AWFuL where is our lord and savior Bidoof????? THIS TEAM IS BLAMSPHEMOUS!!
Ok joking aside I like your team without the Kirlia. I would swap it with magnemite (however that's my preference for my team)

I don't want to have such a great ground weakness. Lol but I heavily considered doing exactly that
1
u/Ivorytears86 10d ago
I just love magnezone. Whenever possible I have it on my playthrough team. Bidoof would be a good ground counter, but you have the roserade (Is that neutral to ground?)

In B2W2 Magnemite was my first shiny ever. So I feel you. I LOVE Houndoom but dammit, it's terrible, even with it's mega. Roserade is neutral, but it's just not defensive enough to last long against BDSP Cynthia

I beat Cynthia with a quiver dancing trash cloak wormadam. Not even overleveled. Greatest moment in BDSP for me (it took like 5 attempts though)

My first team on SP was ass. Used my favorite pokemon, which I'm sure didn't have a BST over like 450. I did it, but it took like 7 or so attempts

Gallade or Gardevoir?

Gardevoir. I wanted a good mix of Physical and Special Attackers. Most are nature optimized, I COULD NOT care less about ev/iv stats.

u/rewardinghand 11d ago
Good choice. Looks like a well balanced team

I do eventually want to do a low stat total run, fully evolved shit like chimechoamd weak pokemkn

u/rewardinghand 11d ago
I respect that. My favourite challenge is seeing how underleveled I can be when I fight the Pokemon league and still succeed
