That pokemon

[ZRendZ]

In my latest playthrough of Black and white i made myself get a volcarona before i went against the Elite four, and even as a Larvesta It was pretty darn strong with an eviolite on hand to make it more able to take hits. When I did evolve (At level 59 btw~) It made little work of the Elite four, N and Ghetsis.

In the original Pokemon Gold, I traded the guy in Goldenrod City a Drowzee for a Machop. I then proceeded to train that Machop (named Muscle) all the way to a level 100 Machamp capable of destroying everything in it's path. He was truly the wreckager or all pokemon he faced.

 

[-KC-]

Well of course he could, in Gen 1 there were no dual types

Gyarados
Venusaur
Charizard
Golbat
Vileplume
Parasect

and so on...

...Machamp capable of destroying everything in it's path. He was truly the wreckager or all pokemon he faced.

You never met a flying pokemon ?


P.S.

My Tyranitar and Lapras...

 

[Nihilism_Is_Bliss]

Yeah there's usually that one pokemon. Of course, by the time I got to the elite four in Pokemon White I had a Hydreigon, and a Volcarona. Volcarona would be all kinds of OP in-game if it didn't learn it's moves so late (and aside from super stealth rock weakness in metagame is pretty much OP there too), and while Hydreigon was still great for the elite four, my shining star through the whole campaign would have to have been Zuruzukin...erm I still don't know all the english names. I think he's called Scrafty?

 

[Aiedail256]

Gyarados. The first time I hit Cynthia I probably would have only been able to take down one or two of hers without him, mainly because when you're allowed to use potions Dragon Dance becomes the most broken move ever. (DDx3 > hyper potion > OHKOx6).

Damn, now I want to get B/W more than ever (must wait until 3rd game!)

 

[DarkRyter]

Yeah, that's how pokemon work.

A single well built pokemon can become incredibly useful.

The Pokemon single player is notoriously easy.

Double epic advice

 

[Sulley144]

There's a couple for me. On the original Silver, it was my Typhlosion. I when through the elite four with him just nuking everything. Champ ended him pretty fast though, PP issues and all.

In Black, Galvantula and Sawk are probably my most reliable. I took out one of the eilte four with just sawk, and he was recently caught. Provided he doesn't get nuked quickly, Galvantula owned any fight he was in. Why? high base speed plus his move-set, electro-web, thunder wave and electro ball. Kinda failed vs ground types, but that's what a rounded party is for right?

 

[JochemDude]

Aerodactyl with Double Edge (you don't get the recoil penalty)
Heracross with Megahorn (130 attack stat, type bonus damage(bug attack, bug pokemon)and 120 power)
Blissey with softboiled and counter (10 defense means massive damage taken and OHKO damage returned)

The Pokemon single player is notoriously easy.

Then you have never seen my little brother play it, why doesn't my beedrill kill'em, derp

 

[Furioso]

Well of course he could, in Gen 1 there were no dual types

Gyarados
Venusaur
Charizard
Golbat
Vileplume
Parasect

and so on...

In the first games there were no dual types, gyrados was water, venusaur was grass, charizard was fire, etc, of course in the remakes their were, which is what I assume you meant

Edit: Of course their were, like Aerodactyl, don't know why I thought otherwise, fail on my part

 

[Furioso]

My Krobat always came through for me. I liked cross poison, confuse ray, fly and bite. Give 'em a King's rock, and pop a few X Stat items, and the meh typing for much of the elite four didn't really matter.
I always got extra lucky wiht the poisoning with cross poison, it seemed...

Well of course he could, in Gen 1 there were no dual types,

wat

In the first games each pokemon was only one type, so no dual types, like swampert, who is water/ground, though I was only joking, swampert could only exist in the remakes which had dual types

Edit: Of course their were, like Aerodactyl, don't know why I thought otherwise, fail on my part

 

[Rune342]

In Soul Silver I ended up using Nidoking. I finally got a moon stone around the 6th gym, and had no trouble for the rest of the game.
For 5th gen, I ended up using a Throh. Man could that thing take a beating, and give one back too.

 

[Xan Krieger]

Whatever pokemon I picked at the start (Charmander, Squirtle, Bulbasaur) ended up becoming the most powerful thing in the game. I blame the hours of grinding I do every playthrough.

 

[someonehairy-ish]

I stomped the elite four in Yellow using just a Butterfree with confusion and sleep powder. I forget what other two moves it had.

Good times.

 

[Ammutseba]

In Pokemon Gold (god, that was so long ago) my Ampharos ended up being way higher level than all my other pokemon because he was so damn good and he just anihilated everything that wasn't lightning resitant.

 

[Hugga_Bear]

I've had a few, though I don't play new gen pokemon.

Gengar tends to be pretty awesomely powerful against most things.
Charizard is always my favourite and once annihilated almost all the elite four + gary by himself. Tough stuff.
Snorlax. Motherhurting headbutts.

 

[CJSinc]

Beyond my legendaries and starting pokemon, Blaziken was the best i had, always had him in the first spot for battle.

 

[gigastrike]

On my White version team, that was Sigilyph. Probably my favorite flying type of all time.

CHOICE SCARF WAILORD.

MY...SWEET...BABY....NEUROSCIENCE

Move set

Water spout
Brine
Ice beam
Earthquake or Self destruct or something.

If you don't know, Water spout has more power the more HP you have, with a maximum of 150.
Brine does the opposite, when you are lower on HP it increases in power maxing at 120.

Water spout at full HP 1HKOs many grass types. And because its base speed is 60, with the choice scarf, only the fastest of the fast are capable of outrunning him.

If you run into a particularly bulky grass type, ice beam.

The choice scarf means you're stuck in one attack until you switch out.
Wailord's incredible bulk and his resistance to 4 common types means he can switch in with a lot of options, anything damaging him 1x probably won't kill him.

He can even shrug off electric and grass attacks, except for powerful physical attacks from attack oriented grass types (I'm thinking of you leaf blade).

More recently


TOXIC ORB URSARING

Ability: Quick feet

Move set
Facade
Close Combat
Shadow Claw
Swords Dance


Quick feet raises his speed to 1.5x which with my EV trained Ursaring at level 50 gives him 150 speed, which is VERY quick.

Toxic orb means he gets a stab 140power attack.

Close combat gives him coverage against things that resist normal, and Shadow claw kills ghosts.

Swords dance is self explanatory, use it the first turn, then sweep when you get your poison.


It has a major weakness in a fast pokemon using a fighting move before it gets its speed boost, but besides that, it's a wicked sweeper.






Additionally, Mamoswine with a choice band and Snorlax, but I'm not going to go through all the trouble of what I did for Ursaring and Wailord.

 

[Nihilism_Is_Bliss]

^ He'd be better with guts and a flame orb IMHO. He won't die from burn as fast as he'll die from being badly poisoned.
Personal preference is guts over quick feet as even with quick feet he still won't outspeed everything, and active guts with STAB facade just hits so hard.
