caatalyst Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 (edited) Hello there! I'm a big fan of the 1st gen pokemon from the Kanto region. What would be considered a good all round team to roll with from this region? I'm still early days and not entirely sure what I will be doing end game but a bit of pvp would be fun so I'm trying to consider what my final team might look like. Ideally i'd like to include charizard, gengar, Porygon, Dragonite, Omastar and then I'm not sure what else... I guess I could go for a psychic or grass type from another gen like Espeon or maybe venasaur? Could this make a dream team? :-) Thanks Edited May 20, 2020 by caatalyst Link to comment

Faster, better movepool, better dualstab, has reliable recovery, can spin and it's generally considered as a coverage monster :p Akshit 1 Link to comment

I the next logical step would to be consider stats. Now I'm not going to be able to splash out on max IV and nature versions of the pokemon as I'm a poor noob but I've noticed you can pick up pokemon on the trade market with at least one maxed out IV for usually under 20k. Most of the ones under 20k are better than the ones I've got. If anyone point out IVs, abilities and natures that are generally favoured for I would be very grateful! At least that way I can get a semi decent team together while I get in the good farm rather than level some absolute trash only to have to replace early on. Charizard Gengar Starmie Dragonite Porygon (and its evolutions) I still need to decide on one more pokemon to complement the team as well Edited May 22, 2020 by caatalyst Link to comment
caatalyst Posted May 25, 2020 Author Share Posted May 25, 2020 Okay so I'm thinking: Porygon 2 (Tank) Starmie (Offensive) Gengar (Offensive / Disabler) Dragonite (Offensive) Togetic (Offensive) Just need to decide on the last one. Vileplume or venasaur I'm thinking as a support. What do folks think? Link to comment
RealMak Posted May 26, 2020 Share Posted May 26, 2020 Here's my opinion: Venusaur :best Kanto grass type with great offensive and defencive stats and great movepool Starmie: One of the best Water types, having access to moves like Thunderbolt as well as a Rapid spinner Cloyster: Another great water type, known for its Shell Smash and Icicle spear/Rock blast combo Jolteon: By far one of the best Electric types in-game Gengar: Of course I would include it as its an excellent attacker, plus you can do the Trick strategy with it while it holds a Choice item) Gyarados: Another great water type but I wouldn't recommend it cause of its double weaknesses to electric Arcanine: The best fire type, can be used for both offencive and defencive Ninetales: Another excellent fire type mon, Its currently Untiered since its HA ( drought) is not available Charizard: It might be famous enough, but I wouldn't suggest it for battle because of the Stealth Rocks Link to comment
Solist Posted May 26, 2020 Share Posted May 26, 2020 For nostalgic reasons, a spot in any gen 1 team should be reserved for Alakazam. But looking at your current composition, perhaps give Victreebel a try. Interesting Pokemon that's hardly ever used. It will surprise you. Link to comment

In the Physical Nido, you have Megahorn, Earthquake ,Poison Jab and RockSlide/Ice Punch/Substitute while holding a Black Sludge/ Life Orb For the Special one, we have Earth Power, Ice Beam, Sludge Wave/Thunderbolt and Substitute holding the same items Link to comment
