Aironfaar Posted May 31, 2022 Share Posted May 31, 2022 I feel like trying something silly for a Reborn playthrough, a team that's all about pokémon with beards. Preferrably while remaining a functional lineup, haha. So far, what I thought of is this: - Jellicent (male) - Chesnaught - Golem (Alolan) - Mega-Alakazam If possible, I'd rather not double up on types (although I reckon that having more than six bearded pokémon to use for battle and adjusting the bearded team of six from that pool of bearded pokémon as the situation demands might be fun), but I'm more concerned about the team being competent than about all types being unique across the team. On that note, if the four I listed don't make for the core of a decent team, please do give me feedback on this. I'm actually quite bad at team building and such, haha. So… Got any suggestions for me? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rendolf Posted May 31, 2022 Share Posted May 31, 2022 I'd say Drampa has a bit of a beard, and it's 2 types you don't have yet. And I guess Delibird has a sorta-beard since it's supposed to be Santa-esque, but it's also not a very good Pokémon... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monochrome_Complex Posted May 31, 2022 Share Posted May 31, 2022 Beards or moustache? Jellicent is more of a mustache IMO. Conkledurr has a goatee and is a good pokemon. Beartic has a beard of ice. He's even better in Reborn due to field effects Mega-aerodactyl for lategame Emboar of course with the firebeard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Delibird is one of those weird cases where it hints at a beard, but doesn't truly deliver (oh yes I went there) since it's actually weird chest fuzz. 14 hours ago, Monochrome_Complex said: Beards or moustache?

For me, "beard" is a catch-all term for any kind of facial, uhh, haircut, so mustaches are just fine. Either way, what male Jellicents have looks like friendly mutton chops rather than a mustache to me, which are regal as fuck. I never actually noticed that Conkeldurr's chin thing was supposed to be a beard. Huh... I think I'll just add it to the list of candidates to switch in and out of the team as needed, since Chesnaught is already Fighting type. For Beartic, I was never able to view its icicles as a beard. I want to like it because I like bears and beards (shush! …that's accurate, but shush! (no worries in case you didn't understand what I mean by that, haha)), but it never stops looking like a fake beard to me. Similarly, Mega-Aerodactyl is a bit strange. In a way, it does look more like it has a beard than Beartic does, but it's rock. Then again, they are rock growths, so it feels more like it is indeed a beard. Funky, I can't make up my mind on this one. …Emboar's fire collar is actually supposed to be a beard? This… This just doesn't compute for me. lol I'll remain on the lookout. That's two to three additions to my list so far. I also remembered that Tyrantrum has a beard of feathers, and Kricketune sports a cool 'stache, so they made the list of critters to switch in and out. I'm currently a bit worried about encountering fairy types in particular; I just can't think of any bearded Steel or Poison types that are pre-Gen 8. (I miss you dearly in Reborn, Perrserker and Wheezing-Galar.) If anyone got any further suggestions, I'm all ears! Not literally though, I'm not into that kind of body horror.

RebornFan7 Posted June 1, 2022 Share Posted June 1, 2022 What about probopass? It definitely has hair... though I'm not sure whether that's a mustache or the hairs of its nose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty much depends on which artwork I'm looking at. I'll have to see what artwork it uses in Reborn, this might make the list of critters for the switcheroo. Thanks!

Monochrome_Complex Posted June 2, 2022 Share Posted June 2, 2022 Okay if we're extending to moustaches, Stoutland is a must lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cakeofdoom Posted June 14, 2022 Share Posted June 14, 2022 Swalot has a something that resembles a beard - maybe not a lategame team candidate, but useable in the early game I think. Kricketune is obviously nice and bearded as well You could also argue Samurott and Walrein have beards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
