I would which Pokemon people feel is the best lead in the standard Gen 2 metagame. Judging from the smogondex it seems the best leads are sleepers with explosions so I'm think Exeggcutor. Snorlax is probably a good choice too but I like to use him as a finishing curselax

What do you guys think of this moveset for Raikou Thunderbolt Iron Tail Sleep Talk Rest quick notes 1) It didn't know bite when I caught it and i'm keeping it at level 50-55 so I can't have it learn crunch. So the only other moves that I can add for coverage are physical moves. Raikou...

Hey guys, I was just playing my crystal team trying to find a female Skarmory to help me breed with a Drill Peck/Whirlwind Dutrio (am I doing this right?) when I ran across a Raikou. I'm still debating which Electric legendary I want to my team originally it was gonna be Raikou lately I've been...

Thanks Yai-Inn, that's kind of you to say but the credit should go to everybody who helped me in this thread. As for my starter, I'd use Exeggcutor when using stardard rules. If I was playing on stadium with pokecup rules I'd use either Exeggcutor or Alakazam depending on the opposing team. If...

I took my Tauros threw pokemon stadium with the team I described earlier: Alakazam, Chansey, Starmie, Exeggcutor, Golem, Tauros. It dominated. Generally speaking I kept Tauros out of the fight for as long as I could and when he finally did get out it was usually against weakened pokemon. More...

I'm about ready to start my Crystal Run (I've never played it before). I've complied your advice and this is the team I've been thinking of making and I want to make sure it's cool and I understand it. Curselax - The foundation of this standard team Raikou - Sleeptalker and Zapdos Counter...

Hi Everyone, many of you helped me with my previous thread where we examined the Gen I metagame in the context of the "standard" team. I had a lot of fun trying to figure everything out and am currently taking my team threw pokemon stadium 1. For those who are curious it was...

Hey everyone, just a quick question. When we discuss the metagame on the site do we assume that were battleing with all 6 pokemon on both teams? or are we using pokemon stadium rules where each opponent choose 3 I was under the assumption that we were picking 3 pokemon of 6. If this is not the...

I think I might be revealing my ignorance here but I wonder, is typing a concern in the rby metagame? I remember as a kid playing these games it seems that if a team didn't have six different types of pokemon that it would be unbalanced. Basic team building consisted of picking a grass, a fire...

I'm so glad that my first post has gotten so much responses. I've since realized that somebody else had posted a similar thread here: http://www.smogon.com/forums/showthread.php?t=25144 I'm sorry for the repost, it was unintended but it started this debate so it all worked out. I've since...

What do you think is THE Standard RBY Team. From what I can tell reading the smogondex there are five standards Chansey Golem/Rhydon Starmie Exeggcutor and Tauros What would be the sixth? Alakazam? Snorlax? Zapdos? Gengar?
