Griffonite Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 (edited) Good morning everyone. I've OFFICIALLY started my playthrough of AS (even though the trainer card says 1/1/15). Normally, I like to pick my own teams, but, in case it's not obvious, it's been a while since I've played. So I'm gonna leave it up to the forum. Before you guys get started, I have a couple of constraints. #1: I prefer not to use legendaries in my in-game team. #2: I prefer to use pokes that I haven't used before for each new game. Here's the list of all the ones in the Hoenn dex I've used before: Swellow Pelliper Gardevoir Breloom Alakazam Exploud Gyarados Golem Crobat Tentacruel Aggron Magnezone Roserade Flygon Absol Rhyperior My current team: Treecko lv 12 Beldum lv 11 Ralts lv 10 Poochyena lv 10 I'm only set on using Treecko, so all of the others are replaceable. (should probably mention that Ralts will become Gallade if I keep him). Edited January 24, 2016 by Griffonite Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Espinosa Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 Add Electrike, Beautifly and Marill (ditch Poochyena). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Water Mage Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 I would keep Ralts and make him a Gardevoir, while Gallade is good, the Dawn Stone comes way too late in the game, seriously, you only get your first Dawn Stone just before the Pokemon League. Besides, Fairy-Type is very useful in this game. Another good choice is the Marill line, they hit very hard if they have Huge Power. Altaria is mostly defensive but it's still very useful, and it's Mega Stone is very easy to get. Electrike and Manectric are also very good and they can learn Fire moves.

Griffonite Posted January 24, 2016 Author Share Posted January 24, 2016 (edited) you only get your first Dawn Stone just before the Pokemon League.Geez, who thought THAT was a good idea? Anyway, thank you both for the suggestions. I'll add Electrike once I get further in and keep Beldum. Looks like I'll have to put a little more thought into Ralts and the remaining slots.

eclipse Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 How easy do you want to make the game? If you just want a curbstomp, grab a Skarmory, a Fairy-type, something that breathes fire, and something that can use Surf competently, and call it a day. If you want my personal suggestions, take the time to raise a Swablu, because Altaria is hilarious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, if you want you can get an earlier Dawn Stone by trading with a friend, since you can have a Pokemon holding it.It's also possible to trade with yourself, you really only need one 3ds and wi-fi.

Griffonite Posted January 25, 2016 Author Share Posted January 25, 2016 (edited) How easy do you want to make the game? I want a decent challenge, though I'm only going to do minimal grinding so that already ups the difficulty. Well, if you want you can get an earlier Dawn Stone by trading with a friend, since you can have a Pokemon holding it. It's also possible to trade with yourself, you really only need one 3ds and wi-fi. Yeah, I know, just wasn't considering that at the time. So that's two votes for Altaria. Sure, why not. I think I'll take Water Mage's advice and go for Gardevoir too (not like it'll kill me to use another one). So the final team will look something like this: Sceptile, Metagross, Manectric, Gardevoir, and Altaria. Anybody want to chime in on #6 before I make a decision?

Lord Glenn Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 (edited) Crawdaunt or Sharpedo would fit and would keep you from being overloaded (well, 4-2) on Special-using 'Mons... And, you'll need something to traverse the seas, anyway. Edited January 25, 2016 by Lord Glenn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Griffonite Posted January 25, 2016 Author Share Posted January 25, 2016 (edited) And Crawdaunt takes the final slot. Thank you everyone for helping me out. Now let's see if I can knock this out before Fates >:) Edited January 25, 2016 by Griffonite Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
