Build a pokemon team

[Deadyawn]

Ok, screw functionality, I'm just picking my favorites from each gen.
1) Scyther. Scyther is awesome, that is all (nidoking is a close second followed by gengar)
2) Scizor. Not as cool as Scyther, but close.
3) Blaziken. My favorite starter.
4) Luxray
5) Archeops
6) Mew. I was messing around with my old yellow version a while back and I decided to do the mew glitch which I hadn't done before. Turns out Mew is a freakin monster. Lots of fun with that.

 

[Utrechet]

This is my team.

 

[him over there]

So the only banned pokemon atm are:

Mewtwo
Blaziken
Excadrill

So are any others banned? also, someone mentioned a tier list, is there a link for it?

Most people play by Smogon rules. A community of competitive battlers who arrange the pokemon into tiers based on a combination of usability and competitive balance. The "banned" pokemon are in the Uber tier here: http://www.smogon.com/bw/tiers/

 

[Dahdutcher]

Charizard
Typhlosion
Metagross
Luxray
Conkeldurr
Mewtwo

Just choose my favourites (And Conkeldurr because he looks awesome and I don't really know any other Pokémon from that gen ;x)

 

[shadowstriker86]

1.Mewtwo
2.Mewtwo
3.Mewtwo
4.Mewtwo
5.Mewtwo
6.Mewtwo

Just Charizard. I've only seen the "1st gen" but it doesn't matter.

1.He can fly (no more carpool and so-long traffic.)
2.He can start fires and always has a lit tail (I never have a lighter when i need one, so its important to me.)
3.Chicks love dragons (He'd make a good wingmate)
4.Scary as hell (could cover me in a fight)
5.He's fuckin Charizard

Any other Pokemon would be a burden on my means of living, so i'd stick with one

 

[ImperialSunlight]

Spoiler: by these rules (pretty much just based on style, not actual competitiveness)

Spoiler: Sun team (not by these rules)

for Draught

for coverage

for Magic Bounce/calm mind

for powerful fire attacks

for Chlorophyll

for wish healing

3.Chicks love dragons (He'd make a good wingmate)

Charizard isn't a dragon. He's a lizard with wings.

That's basically my favorite from each generation + my favorite legendary. Aside from double use of Ghost type, it's actually a fairly well balanced team.

This is why I can't wait for Generation 6 (I know, it won't be for at least 3 or 4 years at the earliest) but because once Gen 6 rolls around we'll be able to form a full team of our favorite Pokemon from each generation.

 

[Zack Alklazaris]

Mew
Blastoise
Zapdos
Charizard
Golem
Articuna

Yea I'm from old school pokemon.

 

[Patathatapon]

This is simmilar to my team smooshed together with all pokemon games.

Charizard (lvl 100, everyone else is level 1 for all I care.)
Togepi (It is traditional when possible)
Pelliper (HM slaves ftw!)
Bibarel (HM WOO)
Vanillish (Might as well, its the only Unova thing I know)
Mewtwo (he's required and looks fucking awesome!)

In every pokemon game I've played I keep my starter pokemon and only train that. I catch some pathetic ones for HM's then Im set for life.

Oh ya and my items would be:

99x Revives
99x Max Potions

Just in case Charizard is beaten, I got 5 more shots at it.

 

[Tazzy da Devil]

Ninetails
Espeon
Medicham
Glaceon
Liepard
Raikou

Screw strategy, I just like how these ones look.

 

[DarkRyter]

the 'Swift Swim + Rain Dance' combo was banned after a bunch of people figured that Kabutops was ridiculously overpowered during rain (Politoad Drizzle was also a cause of this).

Swift Swim + Rain Dance was never banned.

Swift Swim + Drizzle is.

Hopefully when Shadow Tag Chandelure is released (unless it already is - I gotta catch up on my pokemon again) it's not banned - I plan on using the absolute hell out of that.

I don't see Shadow Tag making it too powerful. Dugtrio has arena trap and it doesn't really make many waves. Don't quote me on this though. This gen is weird. Anything can happen. Like special tyranitar.

 

[him over there]

"Swift Swim + Rain Dance" aren't banned.

Excadrill IS banned.

Actually Wobbuffet has been delegated down to borderline. Not only is it allowed in standard play but it's frankly not good enough for most standard players. This was mostly do to encores new mechanics and the prevalence of u-turn and volt switch.

Christ, I've been out of the loop for about 4 months and the rules have already had a complete overhaul. I remember Excadrill being under scrutiny, but it was still permitted - the 'Swift Swim + Rain Dance' combo was banned after a bunch of people figured that Kabutops was ridiculously overpowered during rain (Politoad Drizzle was also a cause of this). I also remember more then a few Wobbufetts in the OU and Uber tournaments (granted these weren't Smogon or Official tournaments, but they did follow most of the rules/bans).

Hopefully when Shadow Tag Chandelure is released (unless it already is - I gotta catch up on my pokemon again) it's not banned - I plan on using the absolute hell out of that.

Actually the sift swim + Drizzle ban is still in effect but can be avoided by using a manual rain starter. On Pokemon Online at least Chandelure is banned but only in the dream world tier. People said it was OP because you could trap something, set up to +6 SpA and spD and then do a monster sweep. Essentially you have to have an aqua jet user and you're pretty much guaranteed to lose one poke.

Excadrill is still banned though some are saying that it may come back if they issue a complex ban. Personally I never had a problem with it because I play Dreamworld and Techniloom utterly one shots it with mach punch.
