Hello, I'm new here. I read the rules of the forum and I'm so afraid to post something out of place with all those guidelines... :s
Anyway, this is my team on pokemon white. They are between 39 and 45. I'd rather get my team adviced before reaching lvl 100 and having to change everything :-(
Gligar (lvl 40) - Hyper Cutter
Slash
Swords Dance
Faint attack
Acrobatics
I'm waiting to evolve this one but I picked it because of the Ground/Fly type against electric.
Vibrava (lvl 41) Levitate
Crunch
Dig
Faint attack
Sand Tomb
I know this one doesn't have many different moves but I already had it in the Ruby version and it was one of my best pokemon. I believe in pokemon white its evolution will be even better.
Archeops (lvl 41) - defeatist
Acrobatics
Ancient Power
Crunch
Dragon Breath
Despite the defeatist ability, it turns out this pokemon is not bad at all. I chose it after reading the review on smogon and decided to let this pokemon a chance :-)
Arcanine (lvl 45) - Intimidate
Double Kick
Crunch
Double-Edge
Flamethrower
I pretty much spoiled this one :-( I left it for a long time at the daycare where he grew up 8 levels and evolved it after he could learn ExtremeSpeed. I don't know if I should keep it... but it's my strongest and has saved my team many times against tough battles.
Staryu (lvl 40) - Regenerator
BubbleBeam
Swift
Recover
Minimize
I've always had Starmie in my team and it was awesome but now it's like I picked the wrong one. It barely learnt any powerful water moves (so far Bubble beam was the "best") and I can't find a waterstone. Plus I think Starmie doesn't learn and good psychic moves either so I'm desperate to get my hands on the TM psychic to make good use of this pokemon. Right now it's holding the exp share so you can guess I don't use it much.
Serperior (lvl 39) - Contrary
Leaf Blade
Grass Pledge
Dragon Breath
Leech Seed
That ability is annoying. I couldn't teach him Coil and when some pokemon uses the move Swagger against him, it dramatically lowers his stats and in addition confuses him >< . Plus I don't think it's versatile enough and quite weak. I'm afraid Grass types are not very good in general. But I like my Serperior, just want to improve him.
I still think there's something missing. My pokemon have nothing against Water types or Flying types (except ancient power). I was thinking of removing Arcanine and add Eelektross or Rotom (the fire one). I don't have any ghost types either (or maybe Starmie can learn Shadow Ball?)
I wanted to add 5th gen pokemon as much as possible to avoid using the same team in each game, so I'm open to any suggestions if you think my team is too unbalanced so I can change it now.
For the movesets I get inspired by the smogon site so when I find more TMs I will teach them some but now I'm only in Driftveil town :/
Thanks for your patience and I hope my thread is acceptable.
Have a good night everyone!
