Description What an earthy feeling team? Haha, this is my Pokemon Black Team... well, at least the team I used to to pretty much play through the game until the very end.

Hematite the Gigalith was always over powered, so he never saw much fighting. Whenever he did fight, it was something - surviving stuff with Sturdy, taking no damage due to defense or typing, then just effing crap up with his rock moves. Sassy nature, so weird.

Mantidae the Leavanny is a bloody swordsmaster. Where Pygo fails offense wise, Manti takes over with bug bites (followed by X-Scissor) and Leaf Blades. Hasty nature, survives plenty of stuff that makes for epic samurai stuff in my head.

Canidae the Stoutland. Wasn't even a conscious decision to raise Lilipup really, knew I wasn't raising Purrloin so Cain stayed. and became a baws. The guy is also my Surf and Strength slave, aka he became what Nikolai the Furret in my Soul Silver is, with the only difference being Cain's dig to Niko's Whirlpool. Serious nature, walking carpet that is so much fun to ride on when I surf~

Pygopodida the Serperior is my seekret wepon. Kinda. Not Really. Impish nature, capable of taking hits, and just heals them away. Thanks to CCMax, he knows Coil. Which I kinda spam after Leech Seeding the target. Then I murder stuff with Leaf Blade. Best legless lizard evar. Key in beating up Marshal, aka he swept Marshal at lv 41. Kick. Ass.

Pitheciida the Simipour is a hippie, not a valley girl. And he's swiss army knife. Scald, Acrobatics, Grass Knot, Bite. Lax nature, kinda sweeps up after my other guys when my brother fights, as my brother uses Simisear, Samurott, two ghosts and two psychics. A favorite of mine to use~

Crotaphyti was a surprise - I didn't think of raising him initially, but then I realized that fighting and dark was nice. So the Serious natured lizard became an unexpected ally. Now I whip him out to Hi Jump Kick stuff in da face or Payback for pain. He's used his kicking so much to murder stuff (read: swept Brycen's gym alone) that I think he's starting to use Sanji-inspired moves.

I wanted to try the shading method i did on the STAB reference again. Maybe I can figure out how to make it look nice for big stuff.

I have no life, Pokemon = gamefreak

My Mienshao, Kismet, is my sweeper. She has high attack and speed, but fairly low defense and hp, making her a glass cannon. Usually I don't go for pokemon like that, but she destroys just about everything in one high jump kick, and when I switch her out, she regains 30% of her hp.
So many pokemon that I thought were derpy until I started using them, and then they turned out awesome.
...Except Pidove... That one kinda stayed derpy...

Yeah... if anything the game cemented my dislike for Gothita and it's kin. I love my Scrafty and the rest of the team... Gonna try and raise a Volcorona, Eelektross, and Haxorous after I get these guys up in strength. My brother is doing the same with a Mienshao of his own~

ShrubNinja In reply to MrAthens [2011-03-21 00:47:29 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, my current team is Serperior, Haxorus, Braviary, Mienshao, Zoroark, and Carracosta, the HM slave. Some of my friends think I'm weird for naming them, but I think pokemon are boring without names. That would be like having a dog, and just naming it "Retriever" or "Labrador".

... my brother facepalms every time I named something in Black. All of the names are the family name of the animal they're based off of, or some other trivia-related thing (like Hematite). At least yours are somewhat normal...

I name mine using latin root words most of the time, so I feel your pain. |D
Then again, my Joltik is named "Lambunt" which the internet translated into "Suck it", which I thought was clever.

Thank you! I love my team, my brother can't beat me at all!

Doo eeeet

Heehee, I love my team as well. Especially my Serperior. It swept all of Cynthias Pokemons

Heehee, it will be quite the challenge for me to draw them
So anyway, the team on White is: SolidSnake the Serperior, King Wart the Seismitoad, Crawler the Galvantula, Sir Swoop the Swoobat, Erza the Excadrill and Pantsu the Scrafty.
The Black team is still in progress as I just restarted the game file(Black is basically the one I use for fun) and im about to trade over my starter, a Maractus named Salsa. When I finish the storyline with Black, I will let it stay "alive" until im done drawing it

That sounds like an idea. my brother and I each have a character we use for these things, and we kinda have a running loose story for them. nothing set in stone, but it might be fun to try and enter an OCT together c:

haffenhoff27 In reply to MrAthens [2011-03-21 21:42:45 +0000 UTC]

Oooooh, that actually sounds pretty damn awesome
Heh, maybe I'm gonna do that sometime as well
Would be cool to do it for STAB, but alas, I already got my character colored and the team sketched out

I'm excited to hear that! Yay STAB!

SPOILER: My character's from Orre

Crota was amazing in those fights, but the epic distinction goes to the rest of the team as well c: ( I kinda fail at actual raising |D )
