Hi there, I'm considering starting a let's play channel and since Pearl Version would be one of the first I intend to do, I want some second, third and fourth opinions about my intended team I plan to use. I want talk about why and what concerns I have. But please refresh yourself with the D/P dex before you comment as too not confuse this with Platinum's dex: http://www.serebii.net/diamondpearl/shinoudex.shtml
Empoleon: Starter, Good Water/Steel type
Mismagius:Good Ghost Type, I intend to teach it at least Shadow Ball, Psychic and Thunderbolt.
Hippowdon: Great Ground type, Hoping to teach it Earthquake, Rock Slide, And Crunch, possibly Ice Fang
Toxicroack: Good fighting type, Love its design. Intent on it learning Poison Jab, Brick Break And Probably Sucker Punch
Drapion: Great Dark Type, works well with its Psychic immunity considering Toxicroak's Psychic weakness. Intend to teach it Poison Jab, X-Scizzor, Night Slash/Crunch definitelt Fire Fang
Abomasnow: Great Grass type, only thing that can deal with Cynthia's Garchomp the absolute best, considering Avalanche and Blizzard.
So overall a few concerns I have are how I will only have one Pokemon, Piplup/Prinplup until Eterna Forest, and how Misdreavus will be unable to evolve until you infiltrate the Galactic Veilstone Building after the 7th Gym. And how I would have just Prinplup and Misdreavus until just past Veilstone City, which thankfully you can go full circle from Hearthome to Veilstone to Pastoria Without needing any badges, and I would be getting Hippopotas, Croagunk and Skorupi farely close to one another, my main concern conern is not being able to deal with certain pokemon, suchh as Gyarados, which the best thing I would have until Misdreavus can learn thunderbolt is Prinplup/Empoleom using Grass Knot. Also not being able to have Snover until on the way to Snowpoint City, unless I can get it before then. This looks like it will just being able to make do with Prinplup and Misdreavus until I can get Hippopotas, Croagunk and Skourpi. Overall If you have any suggestions, feel free to comment, and if this team looks good, please say so as well. Just to recap:
Empoleon
Mismagius
Hippowdon
Toxicroak
Drapion
Abomasnow
