[Draconus297]

I don't think I can pin down a Top 5, but I'll explain the various Pokemon I've used on my main-series teams, from my first to my most recent.


#1- Swampert


Named: Lieutenant


Obtained: Starter


My very first Pokemon game was a copy of Emerald someone let me use for a tournament everyone was going to take part in a few days after everyone simultaneously started, so when I picked it up I was excited- I'd seen the anime, I loved the concept, and everything was fantastic. So, I walked out into the forest and looked at the available starters. I didn't really expect much of Treecko (I hadn't seen Ash's yet, I was WAY behind), and I didn't take the fire chicken that was Torchic seriously. So, I picked a Mudkip. Because of a screen hiccup, I didn't see Mudkip's rear legs, so I was tempted to name him "Lieutenant Dan", but . . . not enough room. He was a loyal companion, and I just loved stomping my way through the early portions of the game, and rode Earthquake/Surf through the majority of the game.


#2- Charizard


Named: Corporal (Emerald); Infinitum (X)


Obtained: Trade (Emerald- from LeafGreen); Free (X)


Way back when, everyone's game was hacked so we could all trade pretty much immediately, and my LeafGreen-owning friend (she had a weird obsession thing with me. Crush? Rivalry? I still don't know) said she wanted an easy out against Psychic-types, because she heard they were damned-near invincible in Kanto. So, being the only seriously efficient Google-user, I found the Achilles' heel of Psychic-types: Dark-types. I offered to find her a Pokemon that could evolve into a Dark-type (I gave her a Poochyena), in exchange for her Charmander. She agreed, and I suddenly had my favorite Pokemon on my team. I was excited, and I had every right to be. Corporal was a BAMF, and I just barely kept him from being overleveled. Flamethrower, Fly, Dragonbreath, and Brick Break. Oh, by the by, he faced off against the same Mightyena he was traded for, and got it in one shot. Hell yeah.


I jumped down the throat of Gen 6 when it came out, pre-ordering X, entirely because I hadn't kept up on the series in years and wanted to see how much the game had changed. When I was offered a Kanto starter, there was no contest- I took the female Charmander offered to me. Infinitum grew to be one of the most serious threats on my team, even at lower levels- She handled Grant's Gym almost alone with Dragon Rage, until I got to the Leader himself and switched in someone more qualified. By the end game, she handled Wulfric alone, and swept through a good chunk of Diantha's team. She wasn't as unusually bulky as Corporal, but more than made up for it in speed and attacking power. Replace Dragonbreath with Dragon Claw (occasionally Strength, because I went without HM slaves), and Infinitum's moveset is almost identical to Corporal's. She got to higher levels than he ever did, her Mega-evolving for the first time was quite seriously one of the emotional high points of my journey, and I came up with the headcanon that she's Corporal's daughter. He'd be a proud father, I think.


#3- Gardevoir


Named: Jean (Emerald); Sarah (X)


Obtained: Pokeball Capture (Emerald); Luxury Ball Capture (X)


So, I'm on my way through, stomping on everything I see with Lieutenant and Corporal, when I come across an adorable little green-haired Pokemon with a mop-top, who just starts using Growl at me. Naturally, I wanted it, because the mental image of a little girl making growling noises was utterly hilarious. Thanks to an old (and often misinformed, I'm sad to say) friend, I learned the switch-out method of training, which was good considering she only knew Growl. By the time I was halfway through the game, I was kicking ass and taking names with little Jean, who had grown into a beautiful Gardevoir. Of course, by that point, people were making fun of the fact that I had a Pokemon that looked like a girl on my team, and I was determined to show them her power in the tournament we'd agreed to have. It helped that everyone had at least one Poison or Fighting type. So many Machoke it wasn't funny . . . Then, simply because I could, I watched them recoil in horror at their big, strong Gyarados getting zapped to oblivion by a Pokemon they made fun of. I take joy in being a jerk.


With memories of Jean keeping a smile on my face, I threw a Luxury Ball at the very first Ralts I saw in X. Having heard about the move Return, the whole deal with Pokemon-Amie, and Gardevoir's Dex entry, I very much wanted to be the biggest friend to my Psychic/Fairy that I could. Sarah proved to me that I was right to choose her. Especially considering that a lot of the people I disliked were Hydreigon fanboys, I came to like Sarah just as much if not more than Jean. Most hilarious of all, though, was her, for a Gardevoir, unusually high physical attack (which didn't seem to impact her other stats at all), she finished off Diantha's Mega-Gardevoir with a (as I so eloquently put it in describing the account to a friend who had actually failed against Diantha) holy bitch-slap (LOOK AT THE PHYSICAL ATTACK ANIMATION), WITHOUT Mega-Evolving.


#4- Cacturne


Named: Pedro


Obtained: Pokeball Capture


Backstory time- the school I went to had its own anti-drug mascot, a cactus with a face on it named Pedro. Cacnea looks almost exactly like Pedro. I couldn't help myself. Regarding the Pokemon, though, Pedro was unexpectedly capable, my lack of faith in Grass-types non-withstanding. When a Pokemon with a hilarious appearance leaves your star Pokemon with only 4 HP, you catch the thing. Funny thing- when you're constantly encountering Water-types, having a Grass-type around is useful. Pedro wasn't particularly outstanding, given the other members of my Emerald team, but he cemented his place in my mind, and gave me the first realization that perhaps types I don't like aren't particularly bad types. Remember that for later.


#5- Gengar


Named- Ghost


Obtained: Trade (from LeafGreen)


I had a friend who decidedly wanted a team of exclusively bipedal Pokemon, and Haunter just wasn't evolving into Gengar, no matter what he tried. So, he saw the Lombre I had hanging out in my Box (I thought it looked funny) and wanted a trade. I accepted- I had loved Haunter due to the mere association with Sabrina, who is still my favorite Kanto Gym Leader (although I personally dislike her Gen 2/4 redesign). So, naturally, I accepted. Repress the urge to laugh at what you know inevitably happened next. Luckily, my speakers were off (we were in class), so he was none the wiser. Ghost and Pedro made up a comedy duo to me- the tall, skinny guy and the short, fat guy. As such, they got used side-by-side rather often in double battles. It worked so well. In fact, it came to the point where if one wasn't in the party, neither was the other. Ghost had the funny habit of never missing his Hypnosis/Dream Eater combo, with Shadow Punch and Curse existing for purposes of STAB and forcing switchouts, respectively.


#6- Absol


Named- Cassandra (Emerald); Yumi (X)


Obtained- Ultra Ball Capture (Emerald); Trade (X, from Y)


I admit, I have a thing for Greek mythology, and seeing that Dex entry had me thinking about another disregarded prophet. I originally caught her because I thought she was the single coolest thing I ever saw up to that point, and I stand by that. She was, in all seriousness, one of the major anchors for my team, because that raw physical power and pure Dark typing meant so much destructive fun. Interestingly, though, was what wound up happening with her and Jean. You see, whenever there was a problem Jean couldn't really solve when Corporal or Lieutenant was under a status condition, I sent out Cassie to WRECK THINGS. So, naturally, that one friend everyone has suggested that Cassandra had a serious girl-crush on Jean. I worked this into the story I was making for my team members in my head, and it worked way too well. It got to the point where, if Jean fainted for any reason, I immediately sent out Cassandra to END THEM. Eventually, during the tournament, Jean returned the favor- Cassie caught a DynamicPunch to the face from a Machamp, and Jean obliterated its mind. This led to a drawing I still have of a green-haired woman carrying a dark-skinned woman to the hospital, with the words "please be okay" written about a half-million times all over the page. Despite the fact that I no longer own that copy of Emerald, I still ship Jean/Cassandra, because the love story I panned out in my head was just too tight to ignore.


So, someone I knew was collecting all the colors of Flabebe, but could not find a blue one. I had a blue one I had named Hydrangea. I made the offer for him to get Hydrangea in exchange for one of the Absol he was breeding in attempts to get one with Justified. So, he gave me his least favorite, a female Super Luck Absol he had named Yumi. I gladly took Yumi off his hands, and put the girl on my team. I never regretted it for a moment. Not only was she a physical monster, but she was deadly fast and had the moveset to back it up- Slash, Night Slash, Psycho Cut, and the last slot was often swapped around, but usually either Swords Dance or False Swipe. People would often switch in Fighting-types because they expected an advantage, until they caught a critical Psycho Cut to the face. Yumi just hacked her way through her opponents, getting win after win, most importantly getting her day in the sun completely obliterating everything in Olympia's entire Gym. However, she and Sarah never had the chemistry Cassandra and Jean had, given my imagining Yumi as more of a cold swordswoman than Cassandra's misunderstood bruiser. That being said, I do appreciate the fact that, even without my trying, I had two female Gardevoir and two female Absol.


#7- Metagross


Named- Magneto


Obtained- Ultra Ball Capture


So, I beat the game relatively quickly, I'm exploring freely, catching Legendaries as I go (I never got the Regi Golems), when I find a Beldum from Steven that I have to catch. Out goes Ghost, putting the little thing to sleep so I can catch it. Did it take me forever to train up? Yup- it was still a Metang during the first two rounds of the tournament, so he didn't come out until later. Was it worth every second? Yup. Was it my first Shiny? You bet! I wasn't even aware of this until I saw Steven's Metagross and wondered why mine wasn't that color. Metagross cemented the idea in my mind that all Steel-types were awesome, and with exceptions to the rule I had to accept (Damn it, Klefki), I have mostly been proven right. As for how Magneto handled, let's just say I appreciated the tankiness of him. He was, however, the slowest single member of my team in Emerald, especially considering . . .


#8- Latias


Named- Lucy


Obtained- Pokeball Capture


. . . This speed demon! Now, you're probably wondering why friggin' Latias is in a regular Pokeball. About that . . . up until Pokemon Platinum, the Master Ball had an infinitesimal chance of failure. Guess what I was a victim of? So, naturally, I grew scared and started chucking everything in my Bag. The regular Pokeball worked where the Master Ball did not. Naturally, I named her after a friend of mine who was highly capable, but absurdly lazy. She didn't appreciate the parallel. Regarding how Lucy handled, she was my backup counter for Ground-types, as well as an anti-Dragon and anti-Legendary setup. Considering I was the only one who captured either of the Lati twins, I was damned proud of myself. It was insanely satisfying to see a Zapdos get out-sped and one-shotted by an Ice Beam from my star girl.


#9- Greninja


Named- Blacktear


Obtained- Starter


So, I popped in X, enjoying my return to the main-series Pokemon games. After appreciating the beauty of the new 3D graphics and talking to literally everyone, I see the group meant to be my friends. Having heard the rumors, I just couldn't pass up a speed demon. Blacktear never made me regret my choice for a second, being so fast he never really had to deal with his lackluster defenses. Interestingly, though, a friend of mine (the same one I got Yumi from) compared him to a harem protagonist. I didn't see why until I checked my team- he was my only male team member in X, and both team members I had to catch and most other Pokemon I caught personally battled him first. I found the idea so funny I made it headcanon. Given my X team, though, this meant Blacktear was probably usually fighting for his life. He was my only team member never to sweep a Gym, but he more than made up for it against Flare Grunts and Malva. Most of the people I battled with thought he was weak for having Torrent instead of Protean . . . until they were unfortunate enough to not finish him off in one hit, and catch a boosted STAB critical Surf with a rather unfortunate Gigalith. Did I mention he often carried Mystic Water?


#10- Pikachu


Named- Phosphora


Obtained- Pokeball Capture


Everyone has tried the little electric rodent at least once, if they were able. That's just how things are. Surprisingly, though, my little Phosphora redeemed the overhyped Electric-type for me. First off, she was representative of my very fast team as a whole. Secondly, Nuzzle was a thing for me, and if I could use it I did. Paralysis on the first turn was so satisfying, and some people would switch something else in only to catch a second Nuzzle upon being out-predicted. Then, of course, I ran Electro Ball, because it's the most natural thing when you're slowing your opponent down. Yeah, I know, double-representing STAB isn't usually the brightest idea, but it worked for Phosphora. However, once that one friend of mine gave me the "harem protagonist" idea around Blacktear, I immediately thought of Phosphora (who I already pictured as being a bouncy and energetic girl) as being overly clingy, constantly nuzzling the object of her affections, leaving him paralyzed. That image alone was just funny enough to warrant my paying for an art commission that featured this . . . which I just realized I still haven't gotten. Damn it.


#11- Tyrantrum


Named- Clarisse


Obtained- Free


The fossil Pokemon have an undeservedly bad reputation for sucking. I like Cradily (I even traded a Deino I bred for a Lileep), and I freaking loved Clarisse. Not to say I didn't have my doubts at first- disregarding my love for Golem, I don't really like Rock-types all that much. I revived my Jaw Fossil, not expecting much- I honestly thought I'd be throwing whatever I got straight into the Box. Then I saw little Tyrunt Clarisse. Adorable Rock/Dragon T-Rex analogue? I was floored. But what really cinched it for me was her first important battle. A friend of mine talked me into an unrestricted-Level match, to see how far I had come along. I run primarily into stuff in the mid-20s in Levels, nothing I can't handle, and he says he's impressed. Which is when the Level 84 Charizard comes out. Mind you, no one on my team was over Level 26 at the time, and Blacktear had fainted earlier in the battle. I threw out Clarisse, hoping to stall, and he's chuckling, Mega-Evolving into Mega Y, and Dragon Dancing. Which is why we were both surprised when a single Rock Tomb knocked it out. I am dead serious. I still can't help but laugh. Turns out Clarisse had a beastly Attack stat, and the STAB and Hard Stone didn't hurt, either. He started actively carrying a Clarisse counter, and I started appreciating Rock-types more. Clarisse was my heaviest hitter, taking on the entire Elite Four on her own on a postgame run to train up some newbies in the back. As far as Blacktear's dynamic as harem protagonist went, think of Clarisse like Laura Bodewig from Infinite Stratos- physically strong, and absurdly protective, but socially awkward and unable to really deal with people. However, I took to imagining that she and Infinitum were friends. Don't know why.


#12- Meganium


Named- Kai


Obtained- Starter


I was challenged to beat Pokemon Crystal in a manner of days. I accepted. Like an idiot, I continued a game twelve minutes in. I had a Chikorita named Kai, and I cursed the heavens. All things told, Chikorita is my least favorite starter Pokemon as far as the whole series goes. Its stats are lackluster, it made a poor showing in the anime, and I wasn't given much reason to like the Grass-type. However, the little thing was thrust upon me, and I made do. He made it work. SO WELL. I was surprised by Kai, and thus the adventure of the man in the floral-print shirt has brought a smile to my face. He was bulky, he made a decent showing offensively, and he started an adventure wherein I picked up Pokemon I would usually have passed up. All in all, Kai pushed for me to think outside the box, reigniting the flame Pedro had started years ago.


#13- Graveler


Named- Terra


Obtained- Pokeball Capture


Call me many things, but I'm not stupid. The first two Gyms had Kai at a disadvantage in a classic Charmander situation, and given my relative lack of trust in Chikorita at the time, I couldn't hope for the best. I brought in a specialist. I caught a Geodude. You know you've caught yourself a force to be reckoned with when it can take on three Gyms unaided. Terra was a brick house that dropped itself on enemies. Nothing would stand in her way. One does not simply defeat Terra. She spent the entire game overleveled, and made a proud showing everywhere she went. Most notably, she out-Rollout-ed Whitney's infamous Miltank, and crushed half of Red's team without a switch-in. While Blastoise knocked her out, it didn't matter. She had support in droves, and did her job. I imagined her as a rightfully proud girl who threw her weight around liberally.


#14- Fearow


Named- Setsuna


Obtained- Pokeball Capture


I realized very quickly that, without a Charizard on my team like I was used to, I'd need a new Fly user. I picked up the second Spearow I found, because I accidentally fainted the first one (I don't really like Pidgey, and Hoothoot's even worse). Her first moment in the sun was against Morty, utilizing every bit of her Ghost immunity and move Pursuit. She was quickly pictured as a hyper-competent winged ninja, using Swift as throwing stars, Fly to get the drop on enemies, engaging in rapid Pursuit, and copying her opponent's tactics with Mirror Move. The image stuck, and it worked way too well.


#15- Jynx


Named- Ganguro


Obtained- Free


When I first got the free Egg, I wished hard for the Magby, I'm not going to lie. All things considered, though, Ganguro was quite possibly the best thing to happen to my team. There is little more satisfying than wiping the floor with Lance using a Pokemon that no one takes seriously. The little Ice/Psychic type broke through another irrational type hatred of mine- Ice. Surely enough, Ganguro is still, short of perhaps Terra and Scylla, my favorite team member from my Johto adventure. Given her moveset- Psychic, Ice Punch, Shadow Ball, and Lovely Kiss, I pictured her as a powerful cryokinetic telepath who puts on a display of airheadedness to get what she wants from other people.


#16- Tentacruel


Named- Scylla


Obtained- Pokeball Capture


I was really confused on who I would use to learn Surf. I considered a Staryu, but I had already had Ganguro by that point. I used a Krabby for a little while, but when I distractedly ran into a whirlpool and got spat out into a battle with a Tentacool, I immediately wanted the little jellyfish. I named her after the Greek monster that waits by the edge of Charybdis, the living whirlpool, and set on my way. However, as I continued my adventure, I learned that I was harboring a fugitive. Supersonic, Sludge Bomb, Wrap, and Surf- she sounded like a beach-dwelling serial killer, and that mental image stuck, too. Not to say that my girl wasn't still amazing- she was, going through opponents like a hot knife through butter- but the image was . . . creepy. There's a reason she was the one I left behind when I faced Red.


#17- Jolteon


Named- Nikola


Obtained- Free


Bill's Eevee. Most people wait to make it into an Espeon or Umbreon, but I already had a Psychic-type, and no Dark-type could ever replace my beloved Absol. So, that meant no-moves, fish-tail, or spike-butt. I immediately knew who I was going for. All things considered, he wasn't the most impressive member of my team, nor the most groundbreaking (I rather like a lot of Electric-types), but he was still special- he was the first Eevee I used extensively. What made Nikola special was how I thought of him- Kai was a Hawaiian-shirt-clad slacker, Terra was an Amazonian braggart, Setsuna was a winged OCD ninja, Ganguro was a crazy genius with a front of vanity, and Scylla was a serial killer. What purpose would an upper-crust kid like Nikola have to hang around this group? Simple- he had a passion for adventure and romance (I imagined him hitting on all of the girls, and Kai, to no avail), and a group full of weirdos is one's best bet in that regard. Most satisfying about him, battle-wise, was out-speeding Red's Espeon, and taking it down, Eeveelution-on-Eeveelution.


#18- Machoke


Named- Ku Fei


Obtained- Pokeball Capture


I was often told horror stories about Red's Snorlax as a kid, so I was determined to counter it the best way I knew how- a high-power Fighting-type. She accomplished her duty smashingly, leaving the weighty Pokemon pounded into submission. However, that's not all there was to her. She wasn't just a Snorlax counter, she was the Seventh Ranger of the team, and Terra's reverse. Whereas Terra got where she did on defensive bulk and overleveling, Ku Fei had the raw attack power to ACCIDENTALLY KO Suicune, from below it in levels. Where Terra threw her weight around and was majorly bossy, I imagined Ku Fei as very meek, with rather low self-esteem, often underestimating her own strength and delivering crushing blows without meaning to. I really cared for Ku Fei as a team member, and she rounded out my team of oddballs swimmingly.


Favorite Type:


Dragon. I am the Draconus (Dragon Lord) for a reason, yanno.


Favorite Region:


Hoenn. Nostalgia value for the absolute victory.


Favorite Game:


Surprisingly, X. While I like Hoenn more as a region, Pokemon X is a more well-rounded game, and was loads of fun.


Favorite Team Evil:


Hm, that's a tough one, not going to lie. I think I'll give it to Magma, for these reasons-


1. The outfits. No team has ever come close to clothes as cool.


2. THAT LOGO.


3. From the Chuggaconroy Let's Play of Emerald, BROBALLS.


4. Have you seen the "Dating a Magma Grunt" comic?


5. Maxie seems to be legitimately out for the gain of people and Pokemon, and is intelligent enough to nearly get his goal, even with the wrench in the plan that is the protagonist interfering at every step of the way.


Favorite Spin-off Game:


Game(s). The Orre games, Colosseum and xD . So . . . many . . . double battles . . .


Favorite Legendary:


Well, considering I've only used one on my team, Latias.

 

[Asiaxo]

Baby Charmander ()

 

[dball99]

my favorite are 5


5th Beyleeaf


it might be the odd choice but i loved it design


4th.Swablu who expected this cute bird to evolve into a dragon type I sure didn't


3 ponyta rapidash it a flaming horse


2th. glaceon before fairy came out ice was the only thing that could take dragon down i but i never used it because by the time you can get one you adready have a water pokemon that can learn ice type attacks


1 VupixNinetails this is the first pokenon along with Eevee i made an oc of it movepool is one of the best to movepools the yes i made it shiny to remind me this was my favorite and drought will-owisp and hex are my favorite two moves with this one

 

[Ammy]

Electrode. Always and forever. Love that cocky smirk.

 

[Poisoned Youth]

5.) Absol


4.) Mega Houndoom


3.) Zoroark


2.) Froslass


1.) Entei

 

[RedJ]

WhosaidPokemon


I don't have a particular top five, but I'll list a few favorites in no particular order:


-Greninja: Protean+high speed= yes.


-Houndoom: An unexpected favorite of mine because I just wanted to get one in SoulSilver before Kanto, so I bred one on Platinum and traded it over expecting to box it before long like most Dark types I use. The thing has gone on to be my only current level 100 and has even ripped a few IV bred Pokemon apart with ease.


-Gogoat: It's a grass goat that with an awesome moveset. What more needs to be said?


-Lucario: Slayer of Dragons (if you teach it Ice Punch anyway), although its weakness to Fighting type despite being part Fighting itself will always frustrate me.


-Blastoise: my first non-Pikachu starter, so naturally it gets a spot here.


Honorable mention goes to Zoroark, who had an awesome ability until Team Preview ruined it.


Favorite Type: All of them


Favorite Region: All of them Tie between Kanto/Johto and Unova


Favorite Game: Tie between HG/SS, B2/W2, OR/AS, and X/Y. Honorable mention to Yellow because it was the first one I played.


Favorite Team Evil: Team Plasma (both versions)


Favorite Spin-off Game: Pokemon Conquest


Favorite Legendary: Uuuuuuh Reshiram?

 

[oneirose]

Arcanine has always been my absolute favorite. I'm not sure exactly why, but I've always been fond and extra attached to the pokemon. Although, after pokemon x, I really love my Riolu.

 

[Castello]

Omg, omg, Pokemon! I do love pokemon.


Top five listy time!


Numba 5:


(Omg I thought this would be easy.)


Ummmm, First'd probably be like... Spiritomb? Yeah, that dude. He's cool, had no weaknesses, then Fairy came along, RIP.

# 4!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


A?g?u?m?o?n?


Um, it'd probably be Gothitelle. I love pokemon lore and hers is one of my favourites. She weeps when she forsees her trainer's future. That's sad .

Three for thee!


Relicanth or Shedinja. I put them both here because I love them for the same reasons. They were odd pokemon I used in competitive that did fairly well. Plus, I don't know, I like their simple designs and Shedinja is fucking creepy as FUUUCK.

(I fink he's beautiful alright!)


Two for you!


Doublade. Fuck Aegislash, I'll take two swords over one and a shield any day. Used this guy in competitive (I wasn't serious alright!) wrecked house! Plus I mean... He's a sword.

ONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNE


Gallade. He's like a knight, with a cool design... you know what. Just look at him, you'll know my reasons.

Heracross is my favorite pokemon, and my other favorite might be Beedrill mostly because I made a awesome gijinka of one who was this really neat brass-knuckle boxer punk who used poisoned tips. He was a tough dude.

Favourite has to be shiny Umbreon. I dunno how useful he is in battle but my friend got me a shiny lvl 100 and he's my most precious Pokemon uwu

Arbok, but maybe that's because I'm a poison type fanboy. My second favorite would have to be Pidgeot, I always loved the design with it's serious demeanor. I'm like that way with all the 2nd stage starter birds, except for Unfezant. I don't know why, just it's overall design doesn't grab me, but I do think it's clever that they made gender differences.

An extremely hard question to answer. I'd have to give you my favorites by type, then I may be able to tell you my all time favorites.


Throughout my playthroughs, and playing with my friends over both Showdown and in-game, I never use the same team twice, unless I don't have time to raise a new team or modify my current one.


My strategy is not sticking with the same strategy, to avoid counter-stategizing. You can see how it's hard to pick a certain few. There is only one Pokemon that's been on all my competitive teams, unless I'm mono-typing it, despite the tier I'm fighting in. That Pokemon is Ninjask. Favorite Bug-type of all time.
