Ivysaur brofist!

 

did you know that dw venusaur is possibly strongest grass time in the game, in the sun he can hit really really hard

 

noob i said DW meaning dream world venusaur, which means it has Chlorophyll as an ability. double speed in sunlight!

 

Right now I'm at:

Eevee - Thinking of making this a Jolteon. What do you guys think?
Growlithe - Intimidation variant with the IVs/Evs making it a lot more specially offensive for some reason. As I mentioned earlier I have big love for Arcanine so I was really glad to catch this.
Hitmonlee - Had a hard time deciding between him and the Chan. But then I remembered no Drain Punch and the fact that the elemental punches would suck on him so Lee it is. Basically a straight upgrade from Primeape.
Magicarp
Ivysaur - Hasn't changed that much since my last post. Is still a reliable fighter and semi-cleric with Leech Seed and Sleep Powder. Suffers from really bad coverage though.
Nidoking - Not in my party right now but I just picked up a Moon Stone for him.

LordReudh brings up a lot of good points. There is an old man willing to trade his Jynx for a Poliwhirl- I wonder where I can catch one of those?

Anybody feel like doing some PO matches?

 

im saying in general

 

Pretty sure you need more mudkipz.

 

I'd evolve the Eevee into a Jolteon, only because he already has a magicarp. :p

 

Not sure if anyone cares about these team updates, but here it is:

Rhyhorn - Tanks hits like a champ, hits like a truck and has perfect coverage on his STABs alone (though not that big of an accomplishment in RBY). Can't wait until he evolves.

Exeggutor - This guy is insane. He is just a beast plain and simple. No Dark or Steel types means that Psychic is actually a good typing, in fact a friggin amazing typing. He's good fantastic special attack and a great movepool to work with. I don't know whether to run a Sun set (he has Chlorophyll and I bet I can nab a Solar Beam somewhere), subseed, dual screens, pure attacker, or any combo of those. I hope he can learn some good boosting moves. He also covers Rhyhorn's Water, Grass, and Fighting weaknesses while Rhyhorn covers his Bug, Flying, and Fire weaknesses.

Snorlax - Takes all the special attacks and dishes mad damage on the physical side. It's a shame I got the Immunity variant rather than Thick Fat, but too late to go back. Normal is also a really good type with no Steels and Gengar being the only good Ghost. Hope I can get Curse from somewhere.

Tentacool - Just caught him so I don't know how he will turn out. I imagine he will be a decent wall but I may switch him out once I catch a Staryu or get around to levelling Magikarp. I think he's probably a bit redundant with Snorlax.

Growlithe - He's been sitting in my box while I level random pokes but he'll reclaim his spot once I get a Fire Stone.

Doduo: Covers my massive Ground weakness and is a solid attacker, if kinda slow. He's also the best Fly bitch I can find. He's kinda suboptimal as a Ground counter with the best Ground types having a Rock secondary typing which hits him super effectively and resists both STABs.

So I tried Haunter and was massively disappointed. Despite his Special Attack looking pretty decent he seemed to not hit very hard. His typing is excellent and has some good support moves, so I might look into him as a wall-annoyer or something.

I also caught a Ditto. I'm really surprised that he's this old. I kinda assumed he came in in RSE.

 

doduo = flightless bird, no wings, can fly
scyther = wings, can not fly

 

crobat is my pick <3
i remember in the leaf green i had a lvl 50+ chansey that would keep trying to evolve but couldn't cause i didn't have the national dex

 

Please explain Kouji I don't see what your getting at.

 

I've figured out why Haunter is being so weak. Ghost moves are physical! I knew about the Physical/Special split but I just assumed Ghost would be special... Gonna give him a second try later.

Ended up going for Jolteon. Vaporeon is great but I already played with one in Emerald and I wanna save my water stone for a Cloyster or a Poliwrath (mainly I was stoked to get a Starmie but apparently those are Leaf Green only). He's ok but I don't really have good moves on him yet.

I also got a Gyarados which is a goddamn wrecking machine. I used him to plow through the fire gym despite being like ~15 levels lower than most enemies and 20+ levels lower than the boss Pokemon. Him and Jolteon go together really well, each hitting from different sides and being immune to each other's main weaknesses. Not really a lot of good moves to work with so far, but even spamming Surf is doing a lot.

Slowly building up a Dratini. They give him to you at like level 5 and he takes forever to toughen up. I'm running kind of a silly set on him right now, Thunder Wave/Twister/Rest/Surf. It's got that T-Wave/Twister paraflinch and since he has Shed Skin sometimes recovers from Rest on the same turn he uses it.

Also got an Aerodactyl. I loved using him on simulator but he's pretty low level right now and like the rest of my 'mons his moveset is poo.

I picked up a Solar Beam and I am contemplating on whether to give it and Sunny Day to Eggs or to Growlithe. Eggs gets that Cholorophyll boost but Growlithe will appreciate the boost to Fire STABs.

edit: Jolteon now running Rain Dance/Thunder/Shock Wave/Quick Attack. Gonna get it Ice Beam when I can afford it.
