Post Your Pokemon Dream Team!

[Snowblindblitz]

A dream team? Of my favorites, not necessarily worrying about types-

Blastoise
Lucario
Gyrados
Apebipom
Sandslash
Typhlosion

 

[Evil Smurf]

My team at the moment is
1. Charizard
2. Blaziken
3. Riachu
4. Nidoking
5. Samurott
6. Steelix

I'll substitute Samurott for Blastiose When I get it, and I would love to fit a Snorlax into the mix or my Butterfree.

I have heartgold, black, white, black 2

Everyone hates Flareon because it doesn't have the best stats

Well, it's problems lie not in the stats. With over 100 in attack and special defense it could be a decent defensive poke that could also leash out damage.

Could.

The best physical STAB it learns is friggin Fire Fang. The best physical moves (not counting Giga Impact because reasons) it learns are Strength and Dig. Well, and Superpower with the new tutors. But that is still a very small movepool for a physical attacker. Fire Fang for STAB and Superpower...

And the typing is not the best for a defensive type being weak to EQ and 2x for Rock (Stealth Rocks, the best move in the game). And again, the movepool for a decent defensive set is lacking.

Back in the days of the original Gold version, my Flareon had the moves:

Body Slam: Decent attack power and it can paralyze
Flamethrower: Good fire attack with good accuracy
Fire Blast: For when I wanted more power, though lower accuracy
Quick Attack: For one last hit before it got knocked out.

Keep in mind this was well before moves like fire fang and stealth rock even existed. (to this day I have yet to ever use stealth rock or even have a pokemon that knows the move. I've played every version set to date so its not like I haven't had the chance either)

I use pokemon I like, not what are the best with moves/stats. I take the pokemon I like and find a way to make them be able to win against whatever comes my way. I have yet to fail in that regard so I must be doing it right.

Unfortunately my main team in black 2 hasn't even begun to form yet, I'm still breeding mass amounts of eevee looking for the best ones to be my flareon and jolteon.

Flareon still has solid special attack, with Overheat or Fire Blast it can knock through stuff with decent special defence without much trouble. It's only real downside is it's speed, but if it can sponge some special attacks Flame Charge can alleviate that.

My current team is usually my dream team. In Black 2 I'm rolling with Serperior, Keldeo, Ninetales, Ampharos, Grumpig and Lopunny. Keeping it nice and feminine.

All I wanted to do was explaining what the problem of Flareon on a mechanical level is.

Nothing wrong with that, what you say is true anyway. I like to find ways around the issues certain pokemon may have. My team was designed to work as a team, none of them could truly carry everything themselves. Even if the pokemon was weak and almost always down in 1 hit, it still had a role to play. Actually going down in 1 hit was indeed what I planned at least 1 of my party to do, as all it needed to do was get 1 hit off for its job to be done. I also tend to never switch pokemon when my opponent tries to make me with status effects because I know that's what they want me to do.

My battling style is rather odd at times.

In Black 2 I'm possibly going for an all Eevee team, though I'm not sure which evolutions to use quite yet. Ideas?

Captcha: cut the mustard. Yes captcha, Flareon can if used properly.
