    I love this gen's starters. Infernape is a legend, like his inspiration Sun Wukong, Empoleon has one of the most amazing dual typings ever, and Torterra is an awesome tribute to the mythology of the World Turtle. I'm so glad the postgame makes it possible to have all three on your team without doing trade olympics.

      Empoleon’s entire line is based on royalty with the final evo being a nod to Napoleon Bonaparte (aka French Emperor).

      This is one of my favorite starter trios but if I’m being honest, empoleons typing is terrible. Steel imo doesn’t complement water well at all. What were once resistance to fire and a strong matchup to ground suddenly go away only for grass to be neutral and fighting to be a weakness.

    A few things that you can do to save some time:
    You can find Roselia in the Grand Underground as soon as you have access to it, so there’s no need to catch a Budew and evolve it with friendship (plus, there’s a chance it will have the egg move Extrasensory if you’d rather use Shadow Ball on Gardevoir since it’s less risky against psychic types). Roselia will also learn Giga Drain at level 30 if you wait to evolve it.
    For Houndoom, there’s a biker in the southwest of Veilstone City that you’ll pass on your way to Maylene’s gym. Talk to him, and he’ll give you some Nasty Plot TMs.

    Personally I don’t think it’s necessary to have two normal types so for that reason I’d make the team the same except switch staraptor for togekiss and make the gardevoir a gallade. That way you get a lot of the same coverage while also maximizing type diversity

      Mine is exactly the same. Plus, when I find an Ability Patch, I can swap out Torrent for Defiant, which boosts that physical Attack stat up two stages every time someone else lowers its stats. Aqua Jet perfectly works with that ability over Grass Knot. Plus, with slow speed as what Empoleon has, it NEEDS that priority move!

    I went in blind and had a lot of trouble since so many of the E4 plus cynthia use earthquake. I limped through and then got annhilated by Garchomp.
    This helped me a lot to rebuild, a lot of other team videos just assume you chose infernape. Second time around I swept most of E4's pokemon and swept Cynthia with a boosted Roserade. I didnt take the time to find a shiny stone first round, but it made a huge difference. Thanks a bunch for the video and tips!

    And honestly I think it was for the best since Gardevoir can't take hits like Clefable. Hell it tanked two Poison Jabs (without the affection benefit) from Cynthia Garchomp and it won me the battle with a Moon Blast.

    The one Move I always use on Empoleon is Surf as Empoleon's Sp. ATK is so high it does good damage even to nuetral resistant types. So my Empoleon looks like Hydro Pump or Scald, Surf, Flash Cannon, and Ice Beam with a Modest Nature and a Wave Plate. And with that you have a decent coverage for most types with 3 out of the 4 being type bonuses.

  • @SethTheSouthernWeirdo
    @SethTheSouthernWeirdo 2 роки тому +5

    Tbh, if you need a Flying type, I'd use something else(Togekiss, Vespiquen, Crobat, Noctowl, etc.) so that you have better STAB attacks. Also, I'd replace Gardevoir with some sort of Ice type to deal with Flying types and replace Snorlax with Garchomp because Ground types are helpful.

    Houndoom (fire/dark)
    Electivire (electric)
    Togekiss (fairy/flying)
    Garchomp (dragon/ground)
    Gengar (ghost/poison)
    Before I got Garchomp, I had an Alakazam, but I found he was a bit redundant with Togekiss and Gengar and I needed a physcial attacker. Also never actually used Garchomp before so I wanted to try it out. Best decision I made all playthrough.

But when I was looking for a good nature on Houndoom I found one with Thunder Fang but I had to settle with a Naughty nature though (because it was taking too long and they were pretty hard to catch because all I had were normal Pokéballs)
    But the only problem is I can’t figure out what to use for the last move though, and I don’t want to use a status move. I might go with Iron Tail.

    I got my switch a couple months ago and I’m a life long Pokémon player but the last game I had was ultra moon. I just started BD and my current team (all between lvl 39-41) is Emp, Houndoom, Drapion, Mew, Gligar, and Luxray. I’m planning on swapping Lux at some point for something else and maybe Gli too. Edit* ultra moon was the last game I played before getting the switch, I also played let’s go and Arcues before starting BD, I’m about 7 hours in.

    @kcsupersonic1 2 роки тому +10

    I went with an interesting team with Empoleon because I got incredibly lucky with my first Honey Tree and got a Heracross, a Pokemon I always wanted to use for a playthrough. I went with:
    Empoleon: Surf, Flash Canon, Ice Beam, Grass Knot
    Staraptor: Brave Bird, Close Combat, U-Turn, Roost
    Drapion (as a Tank Build with Battle Armor): Cross Poison, Toxic, Knock Off, Thunder Fang
    Houndoom: Flamethrower, Snarl (for Sp Atk debuffing), Sludge Bomb, Nasty Plot
    Heracross: Close Combat, Megahorn, Throat Chop (Replaced with Facade and a Flame Orb in post game, Swords Dance
    Garchomp: Earthquake, Dragon Claw, Stone Edge, Crunch
    I basically wanted a solid mix of type coverage hitting on both Physical and Special sides. I have a few Debuff options with Intimidate on Staraptor and Snarl on Houndoom to keep me alive, and knowing Drapion isn't likely to get one shot out of nowhere thanks to no crits means I can set him up to stall in a lot of scenarios. Knock Off is also huge against the Elite Four and beyond since all their Pokemon have held items and Drapion gets stab.

    Instead of Grass Knot for Empoleon, you should try Drill Peck. Flying type moves are good against grass and fire so that’s good coverage

    Grass knot is virtually useless if the opponent isn’t heavy, even if it’s weak to grass. When I had no grass coverage, I gave it to my mew, but I just ended up replacing it with a better move and getting a roserade.

    I am looking forward to get both Pokemon brilliant diamond and Pokemon shining pearl games for Christmas🎄. I also would liked to play as Dawn and choose Piplup as my starter Pokemon so I can do better than the anime Dawn and what Piplup would never do. And that is catching more Pokemon and evolve Piplup into Prinplup and then to Empoleon.
    However when I was watching UA-cam of any ideas what to expect on Pokemon brilliant diamond and Pokemon shining pearl, but when I was looking to find out about Wonder Trade that I've just found out today that at the moment is unavailable😱. I mean it isn't fair because I was looking forward to get both Pokemon Brilliant Diamond and Pokemon Shining Pearl games for Christmas and I was hoping to used Wonder Trade for any Pokemon I want. Now I'm going to have to wait in early January to hear more news at least that what I though it's going to happen😒.

    I have two of these pokemon on my team. I have other pokemon on my team, and they're pretty helpful if you want to face the Elite Four! (I'm not trying to go against the creator's suggestions, I'm just giving some more.) Luxray and Pachirisu can handle Cynthia's water types, which is helpful if you wanna get through Milotic and Gastrodon the annoying creatures. Palkia, packed with a fire and ice type move, can handle Roserade, Togekiss, AND Garchomp at the same time. Crobat can also handle Togekiss if you have a Poison type move.
    Again, I'm not trying to go against this video's suggestions. This is just my team in action if you want.
