Pokemon Teams and Complexity Addictions

[Zuzu]

In any Pokemon game I usually use whatever mons I feel like. In main series games I plan a team before starting because the games are so easy that I just want to utilize fun Pokemon. However, in Reborn and Rejuv, I kind of had that mindset of picking out mons I want to use but that was more difficult due to the tedious sidequests/how late they were into the game so I used certain Pokemon like Meowstic before receiving my Ralts which later became a Gardevoir.


Chimchar was my starter in this game because it was my first starter I ever picked so it has a place in my heart. I certainly don't regret picking it as it comes in clutch many times with either a powerful CC or Flare Blitz. And I mean come on, it's a monkey, who doesn't like monkeys.

I do sometimes struggle when trying to find Flying and Water type Pokemon for some reason though. I planned on using Azumarill for... obvious reasons but I didn't get lucky with the mystery egg which was fine. I eventually settled on a Gastrodon which carried me in so many fights that I can't name currently. Eventually the Gastrodon had started to become a little less useful with the not very powerful moves so I looked at the available Pokemon to replace it and Swampert was up for grabs. Ever since adding that Swampert and EV training it with 252 HP/252 Atk, he's has been useful in almost every important battle whether it be tanking a couple of hits or getting a strong Earthquake off.


I picked up a Murkrow in Lapis Ward for a decent Flying type I've never really used. Also grabbed a Magnemite at some point which has honestly been a huge help with that Steel typing and powerful STAB moves.


Roserade... I love the Pokemon but it is only useful in a small amount of situations due to it not having a great moveset. I did not play in w/e version allowed you to breed Sluge Bomb onto Budew so there goes a strong STAB move. I also don't have anything like HP Fire or HP Rock on it as I didn't really care too much about that stuff until recently.

A couple other Pokemon that are worth mentioning that I used in some battles are Walrein to change the weather/field vs Charlotte and Rhyperior with Trick Room Gardevoir for the battle gauntlet in EP18 along with the rock typing vs Ciel's flying team.


What I'm really saying is that I like to sometimes pick Pokemon I've never used but also mix it in with a bunch of favorites.

Usually just use whatever the fuck I feel like using. That being said, Garchomp is a VERY regular Pokemon on my teams. Not only does it combine two of my favourite types, have fantastic stats across the board, good abilities and simply an awesome design, it fits in right with my usual water/fire/grass/steel type cores. It's also my favourite Pokemon period, if you couldn't tell lol. The rest is just whatever I feel like using. Currently my team is a mixed Hail+Sand team, with Aurora Veil Ninetales to pave the way for Mega Garchomp, Dragon Dance Tyranitar and Mega Absol(Switched with Mega Garchomp when necessary) to sweep.
