Gen 1 Nintendo Cup 1997

This is the team I have recently made for the “NC 1997” format. Although not currently playable as of posting, I would like to share it anyway.

Starting with the choice of party members, I think these six would make a pretty decent party, a.k.a, I tried my best:

*Alakazam and Gengar have some of the highest special stats in all of Gen 1.

*Jolteon is the 2nd fastest Gen 1 pokemon, right behind electrode.

*Dragonite has the highest attack stat in Gen 1.

*Cloyster has the highest defense stat in Gen 1.

*Tauros is a mix of speed and attack, making it a decent sweeper.

*Everyone is at level 50 except dragonite, as its level 55 is when it evolves from dragonair. This is to ensure that any combo of 3 can be made.



Alakazam: Alakazam has the 2nd highest special stat in Gen 1, behind mewtwo.

Psychic- A classic damaging move usually used by special attackers.

Recover- Restores HP. This makes up for Alakazam’s low HP.

Reflect- Makes up for Alakazam’s low defense.

Subsitute- Can be used along with recover to turn Alakazam into a staller.

Gengar: Gengar has one of the highest special stats in Gen 1.

Psychic- A classic damaging move that does decent damage.

Confuse Ray- Confuse the opponent for some potentially extra damage and free turns.

Thunderbolt- For dealing with Flying and Water types.

Subsitute- Combine with Confuse Ray for potential protection.

Dragonite: Has the highest attack stat of all Gen 1 pokemon.

Subsitute and Rest- Used for stalling purposes.

Body Slam and Hyper Beam- Use body slam for quick damage and hyper beam for massive damage.

Cloyster: Cloyster is one of the most underrated Gen 1 Pokémon. It has the highest defense of all Gen 1 pokemon.

Subsitute and Rest- Stalling.

Clamp- Good for when opponent is poisoned.

Ice Beam- Decent damaging move.

Jolteon: Jolteon is right behind electrode in terms of speed.

Reflect- Make up for Jolteon’s bad defense stat.

Toxic- Poison the opponent or paralyze them with a lucky thunderbolt.

Thunderbolt- Damage dealer.

Pin Missle- This is for dealing with psychic types, especially Alakazam.

Tarous: A good mix of speed and attack.

Body Slam and Stomp- Use body slam until the opponent is paralyzed. Then, attack with stomp for flinch chances.

Earthquake- Amazing damage dealer.

Toxic- Poison the target. Good for when the opponent is down to their last pokemon or when used to poison all of them.


This is where I close off this post. Thanks for reading!
