I haven't beaten the game yet, but I just beat the 8th gym and I wanna do what Aleu is doing cuz I like it
Sonic (Sandslash- had to rename him cuz I found a better Johnnie lol)- I have never had a Sandslash on my team, yet he is one of my favorites from gen 1 so I decided it was time and damn, he face rolled everything. Without him, catching Groudon would have been a lot harder. I thought he'd end up being the weakest link, but there were many of times where he pulled through.
Sweet Pea (Mighyena)- I didn't originally pan to catch a Poochyena, and, looking back, I probably shouldn't have but I couldn't help it lol She has been a nice asset, especially when there are flying types, but all and all she is definitely the weakest link. I still love her anyway <3
Jingles (Zangoose)- I've always wanted a Zangoose on my team, but I've always had trouble leveling them up. Not this time! Jingles wrecks everything and caught up to my starters level rather quickly!
Galliart (Gallade)- I used to hate Gallade. Not as much as Ryperior, or Magmortar, but I still hated him. I needed one though, because of his mega form <3 Now I like Gallade. He gets me out of tight situations, and is very reliable.
Scuellus (Sceptile)- My baby <3 Treecko's line is probably my favorite starter line. His moves currently suck cuz I haven't gotten around to teaching him other moves lol but he still pulls through.
Belisama (Milotic)- A friend of mine had a spare shiny Feebas he gave to me at the start of the game. I EV trained her to be a tank, and now she takes hits like a BOSS. She honestly does all the work in my team. There's almost always a battle where I need her. Even though I trained her to be a tank, she still wrecks shit up and I love it!
