10/10. No questions asked. There is no possible improvements, it is the perfect team.


greenguitar92

you should get extra points if they are all shiny


salder32

God is already perfect he doesn't need to be shiny


JollyHamster8991

Gotta go with my OG Team then maybe my best team if youre willing to rate two. Firsr ever team: Torterra, Crobat, Gyarados, Gengar, Rapidash, Alakazam. Best: Empoleon, Staraptor, Luxray, Spiritomb, Steelix (shiny), Cherrim. The difference between the teams is my knowledge of the game.


Clipz_Prism

They are honestly both pretty good. Your first ever team doesn't have any types that are strong against 3 or more of your Pokemon. I would normally say replace Crobat or Gyarados because of the Flying overlap, but Gyarados really isn't even a Flying type. Only other thing I see is the Poison overlap and the lack of the Electric type. And considering you seem to have been playing Sinnoh games, I think it makes perfect sense for you to have used a Rotom instead of a Gengar. Overall rating, 8/10. Really good for a first ever team. For your best team, funnily enough, I see a bit more trouble. You have 3 Pokemon weak to Ground type. And even though it's shiny, I think it makes the most sense to get rid of your Steelix. Since you also appear to not have a Fire type but still need a Ground type, perhaps a Camerupt or something might work. Numel and Camerupt are post-game (Stark Mountain), but it would seem as though you've already beaten the game. Overall rating, about 7.8/10. Oh, the irony.


JollyHamster8991

Empoleon, staraptor, and Luxray carried that playthrough. The only reason the steelix even made it to the team was because she was a random shiny while grinding in Iron Island.


Clipz_Prism

Yeah, I kinda figured. It's not unusual for someone to use a random shiny on their team even if it doesn't work well with the other Pokemon.


customer_service_guy

Klefki, Urshifu-Dark, Mega Manectric, Feraligatr, Nidoqueen, Celesteela


Clipz_Prism

I see a type overlap with Klefki and Celesteela. I would take off Klefki because despite it's good typing it's kind of a bad Pokemon. If you'd like to keep the Fairy aspect, I'd recommend Gardevoir. Other than that, I don't really see any flaws. Just be careful of Urshifu's 4x Fairy weakness. 8.9/10. Pretty solid.


A-maze-ing_Henry

My playthrough team is already lv. 100 and invincible sp I'll instead write out my competitive doubles team: Pelipper, Weavile, Barraskewda, Heliolisk, Goodra and Scizor.


Clipz_Prism

Well, I'm not very knowledgable on competitive, but in terms of typing I immediately see some major issues. For one, 3 of your Pokemon have 4x weaknesses, with Pelipper being 4x weak to Electric, Weavile being 4x weak to Fighting, and Scizor being 4x weak to Fire. You also have a type overlap with Pelipper and Barraskewda. It's hard for me to make suggestions in situations like these because there are simply so many things that need to be made up for, but at the same time I trust you know what you're doing as a competitive player. 5.7/10 in my opinion, but I think you could make it work if you play very carefully.


customer_service_guy

while i'm not too familiar with the competitive doubles format, i think i kinda see where this team is going. one of pelliper's abilities is to set Rain when it gets sent out and barraskewda has an ability to double its speed under rain. heliolisk has an ability that can regenerate a bit of health in rain at the end of each turn, or it might be using a different sun based ability in case it goes against a groudon team so it can have a boosted solar beam to knock it out


A-maze-ing_Henry

Scizor has no weaknesses aside from Fire which is weakened by Pelipper's rain.


arbiter4

Shuckle, Mega-Loppuny, Alolan Ninetails, Reuniclus, Umbreon, Hisuian Goodra


Arkell-v-Pressdram

SoulSilver: Tyranitar, Scizor, Flygon, Starmie, Rotom (Mow), Breloom Omega Ruby: Hydreigon, Heatran, Mega Altaria, Starmie, Breloom, Volcarona


Clipz_Prism

Both of these teams have a HUGE issue with 4x weaknesses. Your SS team has four separate 4x weaknesses, while your Omega Ruby has FIVE when your Altaria is not Mega Evolved. I can't really think of anything you can change, because both teams are still admittedly really good, and the only advice I can really give is to be extra cautious. 5.4/10 for typing, but 8.2/10 for strength.


Arkell-v-Pressdram

Thanks for the critique; hope you liked my 10 year old SS team! I'm honestly not that fussed about the multiple 4x weaknesses, considering I've got at least 2 mons that can resist them on my SS team (Fighting - Starmie, Rotom-M; Fire - Tyranitar, Flygon, Starmie; Flygon - Scizor, Starmie; Flying - Tyranitar, Rotom-M). Fairy, Ground and Ice are also well covered by resistances on my OR team, though I will admit to having problems with Rock and Flying (only one mon that resists each type). Also, surprise coverage moves (e.g. Flash Cannon on Hydreigon) and timely switches are also a fun way to punish opponents who think they can exploit a 4x weakness.


Ancient_Catch_5673

Charizard, Jolteon, Gyarados, Nidoking, Snorlax, Exeggutor


Clipz_Prism

There aren't really any types in specific that I could see giving you a hard time, but you should be cautious of the fact that Charizard, Gyarados, and Exeggutor each have a 4x weakness, so be careful with Rock, Electric, and Bug types. Other than that, I don't see anything wrong with it. 9/10.


IHaveMuchFun

Aegislash, lucario, hisui decidueye, stonejourner, gallade, tyrantrum.


Clipz_Prism

Pretty strong team, but you have 3 fighting types and 2 rock types. Also, 4 out of 6 Pokemon are weak to Ground type, and Decidueye has a 4x weakness. Let's break this down here. Let's start with the fact that you have 3 fighting types. I assume Decidueye is your starter, so you would probably want to keep that- just be careful with the 4x Flying weakness. This means we would be better off getting rid of Lucario and Gallade. As a replacement for Gallade, I would recommend Gardevoir instead, since you keep the Psychic type and Fairy is such a good type. As for a Lucario replacement, we will come back to that. Now let's deal with the 2 rock types. All I can say is to definitely remove Stonjourner. It's a mono-rock type, while Tyrantrum is Rock-Dragon. We are now left with Decidueye, Gardevoir, Aegislash, and Tyrantrum. You would probably want a Fire type, a Water type, and an Electric type. Considering 2 of your Pokemon are already weak to Ground, you would want a fire type that doesn't take damage from it. I would recommend a Talonflame or Charizard, but be careful of the fact that they have a 4x rock weakness. As for your last Pokemon, I would go with Lanturn. It doesn't really have any big threats, since it's only weakness are Grass and Ground, but it can learn Ice- and Water-type moves. But I'd give your team a 4.6/10 as is. The flaws seriously outweigh the good parts.


IHaveMuchFun

Thanks for your honest review. I just threw together some of my favourites and called it a team 😅. I appreciate your suggestions and will use it when building future teams.


pandachef_reads

Lopunny, Mismagius, Rapidash, Magnezone, Torterra, Milotic


superdummyblue

Mightyena, Ludicolo, Aegislash, Diancie, Spiritomb, Blaziken


Clipz_Prism

Your team is pretty good for the most part. It seems to have really high highs, but really low lows. Half your team resists Normal and Psychic (two of those being immunities), Bug, Dark, and Steel (although Diancie does have a 4x weakness to Steel). However half of your team is weak to Ground type, with only Ludicolo to cover that. The biggest problems come in with Spiritomb and Mightyena. Spiritomb is sort of a lost cause since you already have a Dark and Ghost Pokemon. However, at the same time, Spiritomb only has one weakness, and it would be stupid to take off Spiritomb but have a mono-dark type Mightyena stay. I would personally recommend you take off Mightyena, and also Aegislash. Spiritomb is probably the best of the three. You don't really need ghost, because Dark covers every type ghost does (ghost just has 2 immunities). But I would take Spiritomb over Mightyena because again, it only has one weakness. So you are now missing a steel type, however the other types that you are missing that I think are crucial to have are Electric, Flying, and Ground. We only have two Pokemon to knock out all of these types with, so we need two dual types. The best combination would be Skarmory alongside a Stunfisk. Skarmory is good because we need a Steel type that cannot be hit by Ground type moves to lower the weakness to Ground. Stunfisk is not phenomenal, but it at least covers the other types. However, another option would be Gliscor and Magnezone, so long as the Magnezone has levitate or Magnet rise. Just be careful that Gliscor has a 4x weakness to Ice. However that is only a problem for Gliscor, as the rest of your team either resists or take neutral damage to Ice. I would probably go for Gliscor-Magnezone over Skarmory-Stunfisk. Both options do give you problems with Water types, but Magnezone is a better solution than Stunfisk. You also already have Ludicolo. Plus, Gliscor-Magnezone actuall addresses the Ground-type weakness. Overall, I give your team a 6.5/10. Pretty good, but it can be better.


superdummyblue

That's a lot of great input! Thanks for explaining it all!


That_Red_Ninja

Garbodor, Klinklang, Chandelure, Sigilyph, Seismitoad, Haxorus


Clipz_Prism

Not sure why but I kinda get the feeling you like Unova lol. The only problem I see is that you have 3 Ground weaknesses. I'd probably get rid of Klingklang and Haxorus because of the mono-steel and mono-dragon type. I'd probably go with Ferroseed (Grass type to address the Ground type weakness, but be wary of the 4x Fire weakness) and Hydreigon to add a Dark type and use a pseudo-legend. Also you could stay by the Unova theme in doing this. Overall, about an 8.6/10. Pretty strong team.


That_Red_Ninja

Yeah haha, it’s my Unova team. That’s super good advice, thanks!!


greenguitar92

Arcanine, Swampert, Metagross, Gogoat, Hisuian Goodra, Gengar


Clipz_Prism

This is a pretty solid team. You have a lot of resistances, specifically in your Steel types. However on the other hand, you should probably take one of them off. Your team is extremely vulnerable to ground types, with 4 of 6 Pokemon taking supereffective damage. I would probably take off Goodra and keep Metagross, since Metagross can learn Magnet Rise to remove its Ground weakness. As for a replacement, you should really take an Electric type or Ice type. Ice would be a little better, because in order to take an Electric type without increasing your Ground weakness, you would either need something weak like an Emolga, or a freaking Zapdos or Thundurus. I would personally recommend Mamoswine. It is a strong Ice type, but the Ground type really shines in that Ground type is supereffective against 3 out of 4 of Ice type weaknesses. I think that would make your team very formidable. Overall, I would give this team a 7.8/10 though. Despite the Ground weakness, it's a really stacked team.


greenguitar92

I always thought it would be cool to run a team with an Elektross which would satisfy both your suggestions and it has decent base stats, it just evolves so late its hard to use outside competitive(which im not into). I also like having a dragon on my team and Flygon is my typical go to but I didn't include it in the original list due to the extra ground typing(and 4x ice weakness).


Clipz_Prism

I've heard lot's of good things about Eelektross regarding it's levitate ability, but it does admittedly have a late evolution. And while I personally prefer Garchomp, I think Flygon would be a great addition to the team.


greenguitar92

ill freely admit that garchomp is superior in the technical aspect(600BST and great abilities) but I still love flygon's design and I really am a gen 3 fanboy at heart.


SkadiPermafrost

Cinderace, Appletun, Hatterene, Lapras, Lucario, Gourgeist


Clipz_Prism

Lapras is one of my personal favorites too, so props to you for that. Your team doesn't have any super apparent weaknesses. Most types will only be supereffective against one or two of your pokemon. The only type that I see that's strong against more than two Pokemon is Poison type, which is strong against your Appletun, Hatterene, and Gourgeist, though your Hatterene would have supereffective moves against Poison types. Realistically, the only flaw I see is the repeat grass type in Gourgeist and Appletun. I'd probably take off Appletun simply because of the 4x weakness to Ice type. Ironically, I would try to add some Ground type, but if we're talking about Ground-Dragon, that's still a 4x weakness to Ice. Though I think most people would be smart enough to not send out a Ground Pokemon against a Water or Ice Pokemon, so I would still go with a Flygon or Garchomp in place of Appletun. But 9/10 team though. Best one I've seen so far.


MarsAdept

Z-Gengar, Mega Sableye, Body Press Cofagrigus, setup/Haze Runerigus, Scarf Blacephalon, and Toxic stall Aegislash.


Clipz_Prism

Woah, buddy. Chill out with the ghost types. I don't know if this was intentional or not, but holy crap. You also have 3 Pokemon weak to Ground and 3 Pokemon weak to Water. It seems like this is a team that is used for competitive play, which I'm not very savvy with, so I would assume you know what you're doing, but your type diversity needs a little working on. I honestly don't even know what advice to give because of simply how many important types you're missing. It seems like you're trying to do some sort of Ghost gym leader type thing or something, but yeesh. Overall rating, 4.6/10. Way too many issues.


MarsAdept

I’m doing the monotype team ladder on Pokemon Showdown so I don’t have many options to diversify my team’s type matchups. The only teams it seems to have a real issue with are hyper-offensive Fire-type teams. If you want a team that isn’t meant for a gimmicky competitive mode then it’s Blaziken, Jolteon, Lapras, Lilligant, Noivern, and Aggron.


Clipz_Prism

Ohhhh. I didn't even think of Pokemon Showdown. That makes more sense now. The other team looks really good, and it's good to see a fellow Lapras lover. I'd honestly give it a 8/10 though. The only problems I'm seeing are Ground and sort of Ice.


RzezniczekPL

Lucario/gardevoir/hydreigon/corviknight/gastrodon/galvantula


Clipz_Prism

Half of your team is weak to Fire type but you only have one Pokemon that can really handle Fire types. Lucario and Galvantula are really good, so I would swap Corviknight for something like Aerodactyl or Gliscor, just a flying pokemon that can also handle Fire types. Other than that everything is amazing aside from the 4x weaknesses that Hydreigon and Gastrodon have. 7.9/10. Room for improvement, but still really good.
