XY What Pokémon Do You Want in Your Team for X / Y? Post Your Current Team / Ideas Here!

RE: Your X&Y Team?

I'm not quite sure yet. I'm trying to just go with what I find for my first playthrough, but I will probably try to use Noivern, Sylveon, and maybe Haxorus.

If Kingdra is to appear, it is definitely on my team.

Fennekin (starter, I don't need Frokie if there is Kingdra)
Fletchling (I hope it can keep up without evolving)
6th Gen Pokemon (can be 1 of the 3 I mentioned or a Steel type)
Flygon (favorite Pokemon and Flygon/Mienshao/Kingdra to destroy anything)
Kingdra (second favorite Pokemon, does well with Flygon and Mienshao taking out some of their walls)
Mienshao (I want to have Flygon/Mienshao combo again this Gen)

So three sixth gen, a fifth gen, a third gen, and a second gen pokemon?

Your initial team might be exclusively sixth gen at first so I would not play that far ahead. The only games you could catch Kingdra in the wild so far is gen 5 and that was not until after the credits. But we do have Skrelp as a sea horse so they might not put the Horsea line in until after credits again but we will see.
 
RE: Your X&Y Team?

When Im making a team limited to pokemon from a regional dex, I really don't care how many originated from what gen.
I understand the question of how much of the team will be reserved for new pokemon, but how could it possibly matter whether the rest are 1,2,3,4 or 5 gen? o_o

My team is not fully known yet but it will be in this format

Starter: The leader
Legendary Mascot: The Lancer/Dragon
Random pokemon that never leaves team for any reason: The other Lancer
Regional bird: The flight expert
Depending on if I have the water starter or not: random water pokemon, the water expert
regional rodent: These guys have their uses and are important to the team even if they are not used in battle, each member of the team plays its role well and these rodents know this well
Slot six will vary depending on the challenge ahead, also doubles as the sixth ranger/new guy.

In fact I used this format in my Black playthrough and White 2 playthrough.

Also some of those higher positions may change between pokemon and the Dragon and lancer at the Nd game (ha ha horrible pun I know) of pokemon Black were two different things, the Lancer and Dragons for Musashi the Samurott were Reshiram and Zebstrika respectively so. I now use this style of organization in all my pokemon play throughs now because it helps me figure out who to use on the team.
 
RE: Your X&Y Team?

Here's my format:

When I make a team, I always involve a pokemon from a previous gen. This is why i didn't like B/W originally.

I also try to use hard-to-get pokemon, with encounter rates of 10% or less, gives me something to take pride in.

I follow an elemental guide (it's the same as ash's from the anime), it gives me a sense of tradition.

Lastly I try to keep away from using gift/ guaranteed pokemon like snorlax and red gyarados, I've made 2 exceptions so far (volcarona and lapras).

Because of my format I usually have diffculty during the 1st half of the game, but because of this format; most late game threats become easy pickings.
 
RE: Your X&Y Team?

Chespin
Clauncher (Guaranteed)
Fletchling or Litleo
As for the last three, I'm waiting for some of the other types like ice and steel to have new pokemon
Pancham, Helioptile and Noivern are my place holders
I still think they should make normal type attacks super effective against something, even if its only one type.

Your format and mind will be somewhat similar I feel. Slot six will always be the reserve spot in each playthrough of x/y for me. the other spots will be the main team but may still rotate between different pokemon at times. Tis depends on the challenge ahead I.E the gym or the pokemon on the teams of the individual trainers I face.

Talonflame however is a garunteed, especially if that thing becomes the lancer akin to how Blitzle/Zebstrika in Black was a lancer for my Oshawott/Dewott/Samurott. I still have not decided on the starter though I have a feeling it may be the fox (anyone else think that it should be fire/psychic, water/dark and grass/fighting for the final forms instead of grass/dark and water/fighting?, the triangle wouldn't be broken that way)

But so far it is this:

1. Starter
2. Talonflame (unless I need another pokemon here at some point)
3. Mascot legend (when available but until then a random pokemon will take up that place)
4. unknown (same situation as Talonflame
5. unknown (yet again, see Talonflame)
6. reserves/ main rotating slot

Since the first gym is going to be bug type Talonflame would come in handy not just as a fire type but as a flying type and thus would not be influenced by the fire starter (I.E Talonflame used as main flying type with fire starter as main fire type) Also at some point we will probably face dragon types so a solid fairy type may take up slot 4 (depending on Sylveon's stats this might be for Sylveon). The regional bug type will take up slot 3 until a stronger pokemon is found to put there, in which case it would be moved to slot 4 or 5 (depending on if I have the fairy type or not)

After finding another pokemon better than the regional bug and if I have a fairy type at that point then it will go into the rotation slot in which case it will be rotated out of the party until I need it, obviously the infamous hm "slaves" (I prefer to call those guys special helpers I.E, they really can't battle the best but would still do their job happily) will be rotated in at some point. However if I start with the water starter it will learn surf (strong attack, even Samurott knows that one).

Sorry for running on guys, just detailing the plans I have for my team, obviously said team is not a permanent line up except for the starter.
 
RE: Your X&Y Team?

Fennekin or Froakie
Talonflame if there isn't a bird from previous gens...
Flabebe, but will try gogoat too
Noivern
Clauncher or Skrelp or Helioptile
Pancham
 
RE: Your X&Y Team?

Fennikin (and its evolutions)
Noivern
Helioptile (Only if it evolves into a Electric/Steel type generator cyborg, I won't use it if it evolves into a Electric/Dragon or Electric/Poison frilled dinosaur thing)
Jolteon (from Eevee, it's just my favorite eeveelution)
Vivillon? (I like its design, disco ball butterfly is awesome)

and later

Xerneas (Only if it is a Fairy/Electric or Fairy/Steel type. If it is Fairy/Grass, I won't use it. Fairy type can be replaced with Psychic)
Mewtwo (I will probably keep it in the original forme)

Not sure on my 6th mon, I will probably use a strong Electric type or a fast Steel type, if one exists in Kalos.

That is mostly starters and a crappy type coverage too.

Fennekin and Chandelure are weak to water

Vivillion and Serperior are weak to fire

Empoleon, Blastoise and Vivillion weak to electricity

Empoleon can easily be taken down by a solid fighting as well.

Chandelure being part ghost type is also weak to dark types and ghost types

Empoleon has a ground weakness as does Fennekin

Vivillion is also weak to rock, ice and flying.

The water starters are weak to grass types too.

Your team really is not the best when it comes to type coverage imo.

I would have gone with a team that could cover all of those weaknesses very well. Also Chandelure is weak to rock and ground types as well.

I agree. While Chandelure is powerful (and my favorite Pokemon as of now) it does have a lot of weaknesses. However, it's stats can potentially make up for that. I think you (Chanderperior) should take out either Blastoise or Empoleon and replace it with a Fighting-type or a Ground-type as those types have good coverage. Also, while Vivillon is a good design, it probably won't be too powerful. Plus it has the pesky Bug/Flying typing.
 
RE: Your X&Y Team?

Chespin Evo
Chandelure
Litleo Evo
An ice-Pokémon
A poison-Pokémon
A dragon-Pokémon

That said most of those (the starters) probably won't be available until post credits, what the title basically means is your pre national dex team rather than post. Not sure about that but right now my team will probably be pre national dex.

I completely agree. I honestly can't (literally I can't) will myself to use a Pokemon from a previous team in a new generation. I HAVE to use only brand new Pokemon. So without a doubt I'm going to be using all new Pokemon for sure.
 
RE: Your X&Y Team?

There's so many good fire pokemon! Here are my considerations:
Fennekin (Chespin maybe)
Vivillon (if it doesnt evolve at level 7 and is weak)
Skrelp
Litleo
Fletchling (if no other previous gen flying pokemon come out)
(maybe) Pancham

I know the typing isnt perfect, but these look like the pokemon I will have the most fun with.
 
RE: Your X&Y Team?

Fennekin & evo's
Vivilon (I want to give it a chance because I like it's design)
Sylveon
Fletchling/Flying-type
Dragon-type
Grass-type

That actually looks like a well balanced team, although I would have gone with Talonflame over Chandelure (the regional birds deserve some respect and even Pidove did well for me) It is your choice and we are not yet sure if Chandelure will be in the regional pokedex. It could very well be post credits rather than pre credits, guess we have to wait and see right?

My plan is to use the new pokemon excluding Eevee because of Sylveon, that one basically is a given.

I think they have enough respect, if I had a dollar for everyone who had one on their in-game team... I'd have at least 5 figures.

To stay on topic, if meowstick turns out to be real I'd use it. I'm a cat person and most of our cat pokemon are terribly weak.

True but those cats have also helped me a lot too, may use one again. Though my final team will probably vary.
