Team Building

Suuuure asked:


Okay, so I had an idea how my team, but I need a few more suggestions.
I haven’t paid any attention to types so far, but I can if you suggest them. I also have no hold items on them, so you can suggest them.
None are very high levels yet, and I’m focusing mostly on in game sets for the time being. I’m a fan of sweepers.

This is what I have:

Torterra (grass and ground)
Earthquake
Crunch
Synthesis (Replaceable?)
Razor Leaf (To be replaced with frenzy plant OR hammer arm?)

Rapidash:
Flame wheel (To be replaced with flare blitz)
Fire Blast
Stomp (to be replaced with dig)
Take down

Galade:
Psycho Cut
Leaf Blade
Hypnosis
Close combat

Lucario or Polywrath:
Aura Sphere / Brick Break
Ice punch / Ice punch
Psychic or Dark Pulse / Hypnosis
Dragon pulse / Waterfall

Frosslass or Mismaguis
Blizzard or Ice beam / Nasty Plot
Hail or Destiny Bond / Shadow Ball
Thunderbolt / Thunderbolt
Shadow Ball / Protect

I need two more?

Andrew asked:


i am starting over in pokemon platinum having just beat the game for the second time. i would like to know a good team to use. i always, no matter how hard i try, seem to be underleveled. i would like a team that is easy to obtain (no trades or anyone i have to wait for end-game for), easy to level, well-balanced, and has available moves that can do well (for example, most of the eevee evolutions do not get good moves until much later and it is painful training the eevee without those moves). any suggestions for good pokemon? thanks

Kuubyyimaster asked:


I can’t find out how to get the key to get farther into the team galactic building in veilstone on Platinum. I thought I was supposed to get it before the 4th gym.

BSfan3 asked:


So I’m a complete beginner in this Pokemon thing.
Can you suggest some ideas about how to build a Pokemon team effectively? As in for the beginning part of the game (where there’s no way to encounter a super legendary Pokemon or such).

My starter is Charmander!
What types (grass/poison/psychic/etc) should my other 5 be?

Thanks

Ben asked:


Im a member of the site friendcodes.com and it has its own little league thing. It has the 8 ‘gym leaders’ and the ‘elite 4′ and I would really like to challenge them… There’s a couple of rules and I cant use Ubers. I want some help in building a poke team. The gym leaders use Ice/Ground, Water/Fire, Flying/Psychic, Water/Steel, Psychic/Water, Dark/Ghost, Fighting/normal, Electric/Flying. The Elite 4 use Water/Dragon, Dragon/Steel, Steel/Flying and Grass/Water.

Any suggestions? Im thinking my venusaur and a rhyperion, whichim training using smogon.com. Thanks.
