this is the team i made. Garchomp (has mega) charizard (mega and gmax) greninja (has mega) sceptile (has mega) tyrannitar (has mega. Needs gmax) and metagross (has mega). This is why i chose these. Charizard greninja and sceptile because water grass and fire type gives lots of typing variety. Metagross is metal type and they have OP defense. It has most stats on attck but has better defense because if the metal typing. Then tyrranitar is out main attacker because one most of its stats are on attack and two, the typing is good for offence. And finaly i have garchomp in there to cover the final type problems and it has the highest total stats of all non legendary pokemon. (Not counting gmax and megas but then again it has a mega to.) so how is my team? Hope it is good.

    It sounds good to me.

    Good luck getting the Pokémon, though.

    Some of them are more on the rare side, so it may be difficult.

    Plus, moves are an important aspect. Are you only teaching them moves that match their type or a wide variety? If it's all the same them you're predictable and can probably be avoided.

    For example, You teach Tyranitar Rock Slide, Crunch, Dark Pulse, and Rock Tomb, it only matches it's types and make it to where you only have advantage over those that are weak to those specific types. Granted, you can switch out for a Pokemon that has the advantage, but to switch out would make your Pokemon take damage.

    However, a move set of Crunch, Rock Slide, Earthquake, and Ice Fang gives you a wider variety of advantages and means can switch out less.

    It's a good team on paper, but attacks mean a lot, too.

    Ok

    Once again, it's a good team

    I think move are what is going to make it, though.

    It's like I was saying in my first post.

    Depending what attacks you teach your Pokémon will truly determine how good the team is.

    Just based off the stats, this team is perfect, but if the four attacks you teach them is only their type attacks, they are only good on situations with their type advantage and makes them predictable. They need flexibility.

    For example, the Tyranatar. If you teach it Crunch, Dark Pulse, Stone Edge, and Rock Tomb, yes, you'll get the same type bonus on all your moves, but you're opponent can just choose a Pokemon that has the advantage and you won't be able to do anything because you can only fight by the advantage. However, teach it Crunch, Stone Edge, Ice Fang, and Iron Head and you'll have advantages over more types, even a few that has the advantage against you.

    Now yes, you could switch Pokémon. You have a diverse team that can cover the other's weaknesses. However, in order to switch the new Pokemon will take damage, and going based off your prior Pokemon the opponent could probably assume it's all same type moves and choose Pokemon that are strong against it.

    Move mean a lot, even if you have good stats.
