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.

Thanks! Your team isn't bad either.

While we're on the topic of Pokemon, did u check out my lastest note? It's about a Fakemon I made up. He's supposed to be the Omega Pokemon, opposed to Archeus, the Alpha Pokemon.

Hey. I kinda didn't see this until now o.ô great picture! I am currently playing black and training to beat Cynthia. But it will still take some time, I guess. My Pokémon team seams kinda boring in comparison to yours, but what can I say? I always liked the classic types. I have a Samurott and Zebstrika, too, other than that I fight with an Unfezant, Waruvial (cause I love crocodiles ), Sawsbuck and Reshiram. Hmm, why do I call this classic? Well I used to have fire, water, electric, grass, flying + one other in my team (other mostly is dark, dragon, ice or ghost). And well, I guess I kinda always have those types in my team. That's why I might say its boring, but I love all of them. Even though I've given up on names for them, because I tend to dislike my names after a while. But hey, your team looks great and striking atmosphere, too!

Thank you very much!
I beat Cynthia with ease while being severely underleveled. I just got tired of grinding and spammed Quiver Dance on my Volcarona and OHKO'd almost everything. XD Nice team, tho. I don't like to use legendaries on my teams, it feels a little cheap. I don't think I have a classic team, I just train whatever I feel like training, but I always have at least one water type.

haikaree In reply to ShadeofShinon [2012-08-31 07:24:34 +0000 UTC]

Ha ha, cheap or not, I didn't find a fire type I favoured on the black edition, so I use Reshiram anyway. I neeeed to have a fire type on my team, always x). So I don't care if it's legendary in this case. But yeah, on the black + white it doesn't seem to matter if you're underleveled. Oh and I thought the top 4 was far to easy on this one.

DragonKnightCole In reply to ??? [2012-08-17 07:57:23 +0000 UTC]

What can I say? The picture is daggum epic.
I did use Samurott and Haxorus on my Black team (both of which are great help) but i had four different Pokemon. I had a Liepard (warning:very tough to train due to it being so frail), a Braviary my brother traded me from White as a Rufflet, a Simisage, and the HM Slave XD

I would've used a Deino to get Hydreigon, but i thought the hastle wouldn't be worth it to get the dern thing up to Zwellious, let alone evolve it into Hydreigon...oh well, there's always Black/White 2

ShadeofShinon In reply to DragonKnightCole [2012-08-28 18:43:48 +0000 UTC]

Thank you!

I actually trained a Liepard at first but boxed it soon after Burgh. It was useful for a while but then I realized how frail it actually is. I wanted to use Braviary, too, but I already had a team I liked a lot so I thought I'd train one some other time. And the monkeys, meh, never liked those. I used the fire one until I got bored with it.
Deino indeed evolves really late. You'd have to overgrind it if you wanted to get Hydreigon before the E4. Like I did. But it was sooo worth it. <3

I had a Samurott. I really loved that guy. And then I was dumb and deleted the game... And I got a Serperior to boot. I honestly love the design of Serperior, but for a team pokemon... yeah, not so much.
Anyways, nice picture!

I actually like both Serperior and Samurott. Serperior is very balanced and can be very good if you use him right. But Samurott is just a total badass, I love that Pokemon.
Thanks!

ShadeofShinon In reply to KennethSloane [2012-07-17 09:32:03 +0000 UTC]

Thanks! Well, technically they are different types since Carracosta is part Rock and Hydreigon is part Dark. Personally I don't mind having for example two water types if they're both good and have different movepools.

Bad ass... and wow half your champion team is the same as mine.

I used a Hydreigon, Haxxorus, Vulcarona, Meinshao, Mandibuzz and Electross.

And after 80 plus hours i have yet to manage to grind up enough to beat Cynthia...

ShadeofShinon In reply to simBOT-282 [2012-06-20 22:04:54 +0000 UTC]

Your team sounds pretty awesome. I'd really like to train a Mienshao and an Eelektross one day, those seem so cool. Especially Mienshao, it's definitely one of my favourites from the fifth gen.
I was too lazy to grind that much for Cynthia so I took on her severely underleveled. (I think the highes leveled Pokemon on my team was like 67 or something.) My Volcarona OHKO'ed most of her Pokemon, including the dreaded Garchomp. Gotta love that bug and his Quiver Dance.

ShadeofShinon In reply to phoenixdragongod [2012-06-24 10:23:18 +0000 UTC]

I'm not an expert at building Pokemon teams since I don't find competitive battling that enjoyable. Your team 1 seems very offensive. Majority of the Pokemon hit hard and relatively fast (which I like since I prefer Pokemon that hit hard and fast). Torterra and Hydreigon should be able to tank some moves, especially Torterra if it manages to set up enough Curses. A Pokemon that would support the rest of the team and work primarly as a defensive wall wouldn't hurt, though, especially since there are some quad weaknesses and some could be OHKO'D fairly easily. The typings seem to be alright, and the movesets, too, even thoguh they are very offensive. I'm not sure if Jolteon should have more than one electric type move but Volt Switch could be useful considering how frail Jolteon is.
The other teams are pretty much like the first one, offensive yet balanced type-wise. I'd say your teams would kick some ass.

Well, I don't think Haxorus should have teeth like these (it is based on a plant-eating dinosaur), but the picture seems pretty awesome.

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

ShadeofShinon In reply to RagingSalamence [2012-05-30 13:07:58 +0000 UTC]

Well, even if it's based on a herbivore it's a Pokemon meaning it doesn't have to be an accurate copy of a certain dinosaur and besides, Haxorus is a dragon and personally I feel weird if a dragon doesn't have carnivorous teeth.
Anyway, thanks!

Proto-Kardas [2012-05-20 18:50:01 +0000 UTC]

Hydreigon is actually a pretty scary pokemon if you think about it. Consider the fact that only one of Hydreigon's heads has a brain. Now consider that its pre-evolution, Zweilous, has two heads with brains that are always fighting eachother. What happened to the second head? It lost. In order for Zweilous to evolve, one of the heads has to kill the other!

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

ShadeofShinon In reply to Proto-Kardas [2012-05-23 14:57:09 +0000 UTC]

That is indeed quite creepy. On the other hand, if Zweilous' other head has to kill the another one, it not only makes sense but also fits Hydreigon in an odd way. At least I think it does. Hydreigon is pretty creepy Pokemon anyway, which is also why I like it so much.

Ihme hipsterit. Ei vaan. Olkoot sitä mieltä, missaavat vaan todella paljon kaikkea hienoa tolla asenteella. Tottahan joka genessä on ne huonotkin puolensa, mutta aina niistä löytyy paljon hyvääkin. Olen ihan iloinen siitä, että bisnes jatkuu edelleen. :> Tosin jossain vaiheessahan se raja on hyvä vetää, hyvin usein liian pitkäksi venyteityistä jutuista tuppaa tulla vähän heikommanlaatuisia.
Tl;dr - Samaa mieltä.
