from the idea started here 1. Athlai 2. Arheiner 3. Captain 4. Howe 5. Mariner 6. Skippos 7. Chewie 8. Hunter You'll get a random squad of 10 or 12 mons out of the first 250, and you'll form a team for a knockout battle comp.
ATHLAI 1. Umbreon 2. Sunflora 3. Aerodactyl 4. Arcanine 5. Misdreavus 6. Heracross 7. Jumpluff 8. Vileplume 9. Beedrill 10. Houndoom 11. Snorlax 12. Arbok
ARHEINER 1. Starmie 2. Noctowl 3. Politoed 4. Crobat 5. Omastar 6. Quagsire 7. Kangaskhan 8. Furret 9. Espeon 10. Parasect 11. Corsola 12. Muk Holy water, batman! This is a good side if we don't ban Drizzle. We should probably ban Drizzle.
CAPTAIN 1. Girafarig 2. Persian 3. Venomoth 4. Meganium 5. Mantine 6. Togetic 7. Ursaring 8. Charizard 9. Moltres 10. Hitmonchan 11. Hypno 12. Tangela .... ...ahahahahahahahaha
Not that I can see from quickly putting a team together. There's a few items and a couple of new moves available, but if I'm not using them then I doubt I'm being spoiled.
Espeon Crobat Politoed Starmie +2 Seems pretty decent. Can live without drizzle but there's no major drizzle abusers in this bar Omastar's Swift Swim which is banned anyway IIRC.
As oppose to the rest of us... The metagame completely changes with every generation, and we're playing a very deviant version of gen II. You'll be able to tailor your team to try and fight your next opponent.
Arheiner at least seems to have understanding of some of the basic strategies Didn't realise this was just gen 1+2 pokes though
If they've changed the rules from Gen V to VI, I'll be really unsure. I've played quite a lot of showdown a while ago and hit some alright ratings but that's about it, doesn't mean I'm particularly good.
We definitely won't be using Gen VI stuff. In what I really want to do is limit all moves and items to Gen II - the only reason not to here is that all pokemon have to have abilities.
HOWE 1. Dugtrio 2. Seaking 3. Sudowoodo 4. Entei 5. Smeargle 6. Ampharos 7. Steelix 8. Stantler 9. Dewgong 10. Murkrow 11. Hitmonlee 12. Feraligatr Smeargle will rule this.
MARINER 1. Forretress 2. Vaporeon 3. Raichu 4. Golduck 5. Clefable 6. Sneasel 7. Raticate 8. Kabutops 9. Sandslash 10. Exeggutor 11. Yanma 12. Ledian Actually looks very strong once you weed out the shite. Not much of a selection dilemma.
