Is this the team everyone uses in GSC/HGSS?
>>56844668I never use togepi in anything
>>56844668Outside of Red Gyarados and Heracross as a kid I didn't use any of these, and Heracross was only a limited time thing.
>>56844668this is
>>56844668>HeracrossHeadbutt is too much work for the average Pokefan >Dragonite grinding up wot level 55 it too much work for the average pokefan >Sudowoodonot cool enough, most pokefans assume its a worthless shitter because of its :) face,
>>56844668Could not be me broski, and yes I do wait until postgame for a fire type
>>56844717>Smeragle Do you remember what in-game moveset did you last give it?
>>56844668I did use Heracross in Sacred Gold yeah, cool guy. Otherwise nope.
>>56844722I think it was Spore, Growth, Milk Drink and Baton Pass. Definitely something cheesy involving passing buffs, was very fun when it worked.
This is the peak team according to randomness.
>>56844668TyphlosionEspeonQuagsireAmpharosHeracrossTauros
>>56844668I use Kenya in most playthroughs because it starts overlevelled and earns bonus exp.
>>56844668swap Sudowoodo for Ampharos and it's probably fairly accurate. I don't actually know anyone who used Sudowoodo. I would also swap Dragonite for [insert another Kanto mon here], by the time you can get Dratini you're already in the endgame and it's a pain in the ass to grind levels in Johto.
>unironically choosing shitdaquil
>>56844668No one uses Heracross or DragoniteTry Ampharos
>>56844668The most used mon are Typhlosion, Feraligtr, Ampharos and Shiny Gyarados.
>>56844668
>>56844971Keeping her is theft
>>56845025>People would still rather use something branded as a pedophile over Trashganium go back
>starter>ampharos>red gyarados>maybe togetic or heracrossthe ultimate basic bitch johto team
>>56844668I've never used Togetic, Gyarados, Heracross, and definitely not Sudowoodo. Dragonite is nice to go through Kanto with but I don't always feel like training it up beforehand.
>>56845072fire type claws typed this post
>>56844668Are you seriously not including the Eevee Bill gives you in Goldenrod?
>>56844717Nice. This was my most recent HG team, for Johto/HoF anyway. When I got to Kanto I added Latias and Snorlax as the last two members.
>>56845053Was this chart generated by an AI?>the “only available in postgame” tierOnly Houndoom, Blissey, and Porygon2 are postgame-only in HGSS.>Rhyperior, Togekiss, Honchkrow, Sneasel in the above tiersMeanwhile these are actually postgame only. >Leafeon and MagnezoneThese aren’t available in HGSS at all.
>>56844668I had Typhlosion, Ariados, Kenya the Fearow or Xatu, red Gyarados, Ampharos, and something else in the sixth slot, I don't recall what.
>>56844668>Starter (I can go with any of the three)>Ampharos>Heracross>Quagsire/Azumarill (unless I picked Tododile, in which case I use Umbreon)>Skarmory>Haunter/Gengar for early and mid game, Snorlax for late game/Kanto.
>>56845649why didn't you evolve your graveler>inb4 'I had no one to trade with'not a legitimate reason
>>56845928Legitimately? Didn’t feel like trading.
>>56845950lol fair enough. these days I just go into PKSM and force trade evos, I don't normally like to manipulate my Pokemon but it's just such a dumb mechanic. but whatever I'm just grilling you
>>56845467No one is bothering with a Eevee in a region without stones>just friendship evolve it broAin't keeping some weak ass normal type until it finally evolves near the 7th badge
>>56846022Lol I get it. I’ve traded with myself (own multiple physical systems) or just edited in the trade evo in pkhex etc. on a number of playthroughs, but I was just vibing with the team this time and I didn’t want to break the flow.
Where are you anons getting your Ampharos in Crystal?
>>56846235No one plays cryst*l
>>56844668togetic is terrible and can’t be evolved until the postgame
>>56846235Through trades or cheating I guess
>>56844800that playstyle is completely unnecessary in single player
>>56846257Driving a Ferrari is completely unnecessary to get to work, sex with hot milfs is completely unnecessary to feel good, climbing Mt. Everest is completely unnecessary to get a good view, landing on the moon is completely unnecessary to find some cool rocks.
>>56846274Those are all necessary thoughever
>>56844668Mine was Typhlosion, (shiny) Vileplume, Lapras, Donphan, Ampharos, and XatuXatu's natural moveset sucks major cocks but I love it still
>>56846274>sex with hot milfs is completely unnecessary to feel goodyes because milfs are grossnow, sex with hot 16 - 25 year olds, on the other hand...
>>56845928>>inb4 'I had no one to trade with'>not a legitimate reason...how is that not a legitimate reason? please do elaborate
>>56846297Because "lol just hack them". Really makes you think when in order to enjoy older games you need to hack them. But no, its the new games that are le bad.
>>56846305what if he was playing on real hardware though
>>56846305one minor frustrating mechanic that can be easily worked around with minor solutions doesn't make an entire game bad, you mongoloid
>>56846317This is false btw
>>56846305>>>need tol m f a o
>>56844668Who is using Heracross and Dragonite other than the turbonerds here? Dragonite takes fucking forever to evolve and Heracross is notoriously difficult to find.
>>56845696It's rightYou can't get anyone from the hitmon family until you get tyrogue post-gameThe only one that's wrong is Qwilfish but even then getting it before kanto is so hard and counter intuitive and so easy to catch on Kanto you might as well consider it a post game pokemon
tyrogue isn't postgame, you get it in mt mortar
the newest game has more postgame locks than any other game in the entire series btw
>>56847079It also has the most Pokemon available before first gym than any other game in the entire series
>>56847085it also has the worst level curve because you fight the first gym when your mons are level 50
>>56847079What romhack are these fakemon from
>>56847088it also has the best level curve because you can fight the last gym when your mons are level 10
>>56847091a $90 alpha test>>56847094in what world is that a good level curve
>>56847099this world
>>56844668no, it's usually this or a variation of it.although my recent play through had Dunsparce instead of Lapras on OG Silver, and It's actually not bad with Glare, Return, Strength and Rollout.it even saved my ass in a few spots, and I was expecting it to just be a shitmon
Which is the best Odd Egg Pokémon?Aside from Igglybuff, lol.
>>56844668>he fell for the 'gift mons are canon team' memeevolving togepi is a pain in the ass and togetic sucks, finding heracross is a pain in the ass unless you use tools outside of the game, and nobody is grinding a dratini to level 55 for their main team when nothing in the game except red requires levels that high
>>56845374Also>eeveelution>crobat
>>56844668who the fuck uses togepi and sudowoodo tardoand who doesn't use ampharos
Is it me or does anybody use the Electrode in Team Rocket's base?
>>56846400>You can't get anyone from the hitmon family until you get tyrogue post-gameAnon you get Tyrogue in Mt. Mortar. After you have waterfall sure, but it’s definitely not postgame. In all games you can get it before you get Lugia/Ho-oh.
>>56844668I never used Togetic or Sudowoodo, I dropped the Dratini cuz it was lv.10 or something like that, pic related was my team.
>>56849221You're better off with Volty if you want to use an Electrode.
>>56844668>Typhlosion>Togetic/kiss>Ampharos>Quagsire>Umbreon>Tyranitar
>>56844668Meh.>>56844717>>56846366Now that's more interesting.
>>56844668I used Typhlosion, Lapras, Alakazam, Gengar, Magneton and Golem in Silver.>>56845696>Rhyperior, Togekiss, Honchkrow, Sneasel in the above tiersMeanwhile these are actually postgame only. >These aren’t available in HGSS at all.Just trade to D/P/Pt, evolve them, and then trade back. You can still use them before getting the National Dex t. Hasn't got the National Dex yet, but has a Monferno, Prinplup and Grotle in his boxes
>>56844668starterred gyaradoscrobatespeon/umbreonampharosheracross
You only need 4 pokemon hgss
>>56844668No, though my first team way back when I played Silver looked a lot like this. The Togekiss, Red Gyarados, and Sudowood were all there. Just gotta swap out Typhlosion for Feraligatr and the last two for Furret and Ampharos.
>>56844668Take out Togetic, Sudowoodo, and arguably Dragonite. >TogeticWeak supportmon since there's no dawn stone until postgame, a miserable option in singleplayer when theres better flying types like Fearow that take less brainpower.>SudowoodoI personally don't see it that often, but it being slow and being a roadblock mon means it's probably overlooked, especially when you can get Geodude MUCH earlier and be useful at the very start rather than early midgame.>DragoniteA bitch to raise, whether its the gift dratini or caught in the safari zone. It will be a Dragonair in the Hall of Fame. The firepower comes too late when your 5 other members will most likely able to hold their own and were found much earlier.Tl;dr: Half of OP gets skipped over in favor of earlier options, its a shitty list.
>>56847085Thats cheating its open world
Found my old Silver cartridge after finding this thread. Dead. Not unexpected.But as I recall, I used:>Typholosion>Azumarill>Ampharos>Umbreon>Espeon>XatuWeirdly, Xatu's nickname is the only one I can't remember.
>>56844668My team in SS from 2009... ... Got real edgelord vibes.
>>56850501Now I remember why. I had a Noctowl on the 'master team' and not a Xatu.
>>56844668Only Typhlosion and red Gyarados, and add Ampharos.
>>56844668no
>>56851361i'm sorry you went through that
>>56851361>abandoned his starterSoullessness of the highest caliber
>>56849801>Just trade to D/P/Pt, evolve them, and then trade back. You can still use them before getting the National DexYou can say that about any Gen 1-4 mon though, but the list didn’t include all of them and still labeled several as “postgame only” for whatever reason, suggesting that they’re going off of what you can obtain in HGSS natively.
>>56844668Teams I used in HGSSFirst play through: caught as I played>Feraligator>Golem>Fearow>Ampharos>Beedril>EspeonSecond play through: caught as I played,>Typhlosion>Heracross>Xatu>Lanturn>Bellossom>UmbreonThird playthrough: Skarmory and Teddiursa caught in the wild at lowest possible level and traded to game where they weren't allowed to participate until the previous members had caught up in level. All others caught in game>Ariados>Quagsire>Magcargo (from violet city)>Skarmory>Ursaring>MaganiumFourth playthrough: Zubat, Scyther, and Tyrogue cught as I played. others traded in a t lowest possible level and not allowed to join in till natives caught up>Crobat>Houndoom>Scizor>Donphan>Hitmontop>KingdraAs you can see you can get a ton of gen2 Johto mons to make teams with in HGSS that aren't total shitmons.
Tried and true team since 2000.
>>56845025ok interesting GETnow show us >>55555555
>>56844668my latest team for hg/ssstarters are for fags
Ampharos is used because it’s available early on and the only other real options for Electric-types are Magneton or Electrode>Raichu and Electabuzz are postgame only>Raikou is a roaming legendary that’s annoying as fuck to catch unless you’re willing to use your master ball on it>good luck getting a thunder stone for Jolteon lol
>>56853850>the only other real options for Electric-types are Magneton or ElectrodeThere are other valid options, such as Lanturn and...>>Raichu and Electabuzz are postgame onlyNot in Crystal.>unless you're willing to use your master ball on itWhy use a Master Ball on a static encounter you can retry as many times as you want? Of course you should save it for roaming legendaries like Raikou, especially if you want to actually use them on your team.>thunder stoneThis is only fair for Gold and Silver, in Crystal and HGSS, Lass Dana can give you them once you have her number and in HGSS you can even buy them on certain days.
>>56844668WHERE THE FUCK IS AMPHAROS
>>56844668>Is this the team everyone uses in GSC/HGSS?Sub dragonite for Ampharos.Everytime I play silver I always tell me I'm gonna run another team.But I can never turn from this scrub team
>>56854759Read the filename
>>56844668I would always try to use Togepi or Sudowoodo, but ended up boxing them because they just aren't good.
>>56844668I love this team the most, the issue is that it's mostly a late game team aside from Gatr, Onix (sorta, since you can't evolve it by yourself) and Heracross if you're patient enough, I'm not one for Ampharos, Nidoking is okay but it just doesn't feel the same as it was in the Kanto games for me, I love Noctowl but it really fucking sucks, Murkrow being locked to the safari via a really obscure area or to the Kanto postgame is really fucking stupid, Kadabra and Scyther occasionally make guest appearances on my team and I used Girafarig a few times and it's an incredibly fun Pokemon despite it's stats being pretty shit. I never bothered much with the Kanto postgame since grinding my ass off so that my team doesn't get raped by Lance typically kills my enjoyment and want to continue, especially considering I am one of those idiots who meddles in breeding, which makes the grinding even worse.
