Description I beat my White a couple of days ago. I must say I love that game. Personally I think it's one of the best Pokemon games out there. Those who don't like the new generation and refuse to give it a try, I think you should try it anyway, you migth be surprised. When I started the game there were a lot of pokemon I didn't even sneeze at but now many of them are suprisingly nice.
Especially the ones in my awesome team!

This is the team I beat the E4 with.

Sarosh (Samurott) - male - I picked Oshawott as my starter and I never regretted it. Sarosh hits hard although he isn't the fastest. However, he has never let me down and I can always count on him.
Castor (Zebstrika) - male - Holy. Shit. What can I say? Castor is one of my most reliable - if not the most reliable - battler. He's damn fast and his electric attacks always hit the target with a massive amount of damage. When Castor was still a Blitzle I wondered if he was really worth raising - and then he evolved. Castor has definitely proven himself and deserves the spot in the team.
Arathorn (Haxorus) - male - Originally I caught an Axew because I wanted a dragon type until I caught a Deino. However, Arathorn never left the team. His massive attack stat and awesome moves quaranteed the spot in the team. I really like Haxorus and Arathorn is one top Pokemon.
Pandora (Carracosta) - female - I got Pandora accidentally. I intended on getting an Archen because he could learn Fly but I kept pressing A until I got the other fossil. I hadn't saved for a while so I though I'd just settle with that. I planned to box the Tirtouga I received but when I was Pandora the first time I completely fell in love. Tirtouga is one of the most adorable pokemon there is! (sea turtles ftw!) So Pandora stayed. I really, really love her and her huge physical power.
Astaroth (Volcarona) - male - Now this is the pokemon I wanted to have since the first time I saw the sprite. Volcarona is inevitably one of the coolest, most beautiful and most awesome pokemon there is. Astaroth (I spent half an hour trying to figure out a name for him) was awesome when he hatched from his egg. Even as a Larvesta he was very powerful - and so cute as well! When Astaroth finally evolved I was so happy, I finally had my very own Volcarona! Astaroth's Special Attack needs to be praised, it's monstrous. Not only is Astaroth one of the coolest pokemon he is also one of the strongest pokemon I've known. I love him.
And the last but not the least
Shiegtur (Hydreigon) - male - Training Shiegtur was a real pain in the ass. Deino was, to put it simple, useless. Luckily Audino prowide great exp. ridiculously easily and Shiegtur grew up fast. He was fully evolved when I challenged the E4 and I think he could've taken them all by himself if I let him to. Ghestis was a joke, he didn't stand a chance. It took me some time to realize that those two other heads are actually Hydreigon's hands. The degisn is still cool and the type, oh, the type, is the definition to awesome. Dark/dragon. Oh love. Shiegtur is awesome. He's still stronger than anyone else although I've trained them all. If nothing goes as planned, he's always there to help me out, I can always trust him.

There, my lovely team! I though they deserved a proper picture, they're all so awesome.
I'm currently grinding for Cynthia. I got a heart attack when I was randomly barging in people's houses and ran into her. Luckily I didn't have to battle her right away, and now I'm avoiding that house until my pokemon are strong enough.
Just you wait, bitch, you're going down very soon!

Oh, and tell me if the picture is too dark. Laptop screen really isn't ideal for adjusting contrasts.

Pretty cool team shot there!


Sarosh looks great. I love the madness in his eyes as he gives that crazed staredown, beard billowing like that of a berserk Norse god facing a colossal maelstrom. Also, you know he's surging with primeval wrath if he's so tensed up veins are bursting from his shell. Veins on a shell are kind of an odd concept, but they do give a great sense of ferocity for the samurott. I kind of like how you made his snout look slightly more streamlined, kind of like some ancient pinniped.Β 


I also like your avatar's expression here. Just leaning there with a straight face that says, "You've got a problem with me? Tell it to my horde of hulking beasts." Is that character based on how you look like? Love how you did the wavy hair.


I also particularly like Shiegtur. There's something about the feathered effect of hydreigon's... fluff that screams infernal harpy. The shadows against them give a perfect "dark" look to him that really enhance the feeling of might this dragon gives. Really great work on this team here.Β

Thank you for the lengthy comment! I really appreciate it.

A few things I should probably mention, though. The things on the Samurott's shell armor aren't veins but cracks. I've always felt like it is pointless and not logical for a Pokemon that fights to have all smooth armor/horns/whatever.

And yes, the avatar is based on me, from two years ago, with my not so great people drawing skills. That is why she's standing so far apart so all the details aren't so visible.

But thank again!

I hope you do one of these for your XY team! I'm very impressed with this team, and it has two of my absolute faves, Hydreigon and Volcarona (I can totally relate to what a pain raising them is bhahaha). I must say, although they all look amazing, my fave is Volcarona. The way you drew him is fantastic and really resembles real-life giant moths. Ahhh Volcarona is so cool! *fangirls*

Wow! I was surfing pokemon pictures and noticed this.


This is one of the coolest pokemon art pieces that I have ever seen! I absolutely love the realism and slight oil-painted look to it.


Also, I have a haxorus and carracosta on my White version team.


Excellent job with this piece!

I mean, ALL OF THEM look like an incredible force to be reckon with!

Unova dex has it's good and bad Pokemon, like every other region so I guess it's not really that different from the earlier gens.
Thanks a lot for the comment! It's nice to hear people's thoughts. :>

Mothra is a kickass name! I have a Venomoth named Mothra, but he's in my PMD: Explorer's of Time so...But I'd like to get a real Mothra on some of my main series games one day. :>

Looks like a decent team! Movesets could use some workign but I geuss that works just fine in-game wise. Have you tried Druddigon, Haxorus or Hydreigon? Those are all some amazing dragons. As a dragon tamer, you could get a Kingdra, too.

Do u have a good grass type?

My personal team was Emperior, Carracosta, Crookadile, Chandelure, Mienshao, and Braivary. I have Black, but my bro traded me the Rufflet.

Their nicknames are:
Emperior (Emperor)
Carracosta (Crush, from Finding Nemo. Go fig.)
Crookadile (Croc...)
Chandelure (Spook)
Mienshao (Xiaolin)
Braivary (doesn't have one)

After the E4, I now have as extras:
Lucario (Ryaku)
Elecktross (Shockeel)
Golurk (Giant)
Hydreigon (Warlord)
Dragonite (Legend)
Vanniluxe (Chill)
Siliglyph (Totem)
Metagross (Tank)
Walrein (Sabertooth)

Just me, tho.

No, I don't. I guess Ishould give Leavanny a try. I've trained a Serperior in my Black and it's not as bad as people say, actually. I'm also going to train a Sawsbuck.
Anyway, nice team! I'd like to train Chandelure, Mienshao and Braviary one day, too.
