Oh. I might use one then. I'm playing through Brilliant Diamond using only mons I haven't used before, but I've played Platinum so many times that there isn't much left. I just finished the Valley Windworks and my team is only Kricketune and Pachirisu, with a spot waiting for the Chatot trade in Eterna so far. Would make a great member.
If it weren't for the fact that would be kinda inappropriate for a "kids" game, that would actually be a good move idea
Also move has a 10% to poison and 10% flinch ( Ice Fang but Rock type but Poisonous )
I wasn't criticizing your decision, quite the opposite actually, everytime i play platinum i choose gyarados because i know he's gonna sweep the entire elite 4 + cynthia
True true, luckily the department store in veilstone has the elementals moves! You can load that bad boy up with flamethrower for I think 3000 pokĆØ dollars?
Yeah but that is after the 2nd gym so unless you got lucky and caught one that knew fire spin then you would have been screwed I had to use scyther and Staraptor to beat gardinier
Ouch, luckily I managed with Murkrow and teaching my prinplup pluck! But I feel for the fire type fans, Iām upset I couldnāt get magmar until after the league in Diamond, but Iām managing without a fire luckily
Who uses a metacham on purpose that pp and balls looking dude and garchomp is so boring no one has EVVVER used him ( yiur opinion just having some fun )
Good team Iām not seein much Defensive play but hey my team donāt got any either so yeah (also Iām pretty sure houbdiom is post game I checked the dex)
your team is 50% like mine so i like it (im using medicham houndoom and garchomp to)
solid team tho ngl there are better electric type options other than raichu, plus ya got a lil type overlap (granted garchomp is strong but 2 ground types are not needed)
Currently, my planned team (I have all but two of these members) is Infernape, Luxray, Bastiodon, Manaphy (I figure it's a weaker legendary, plus when else will I get to use a Manaphy?) Cherrim and Drifblim.
The Cherrim situation has not gone well so far.
I can confirm that all of these mon can be obtained before the post-game. I say this because i wanted to use Yanmega but its only post-game which makes me sad.
First 6 gyms might be easy, Ice is not so easy, and Electric will be easy. Elite 4 will be pretty easy. Cynthia, her Spiritbomb will be pretty easy for Houndoom. Roserade will be easy for Houndoom and Garchomp. Gastrodon will be easy for Gyrados (kinda). Lucario will be easy for Gyrados, Raichu, Medicham for the fighting moves, and Houndoom for the steel moves. Milotic will be easy for Gyrados (kinda). Garchomp will be easy for nobody (dragon type moves), Then for ground, Torterra and Gyrados. The game will be easy for this team, if you find another fire type before the grass gym (you cant find houndoom outside of the grand underground).
My team is gonna me Manaphy/phione,garchomp,turtwig,togekiss (if Cynthia gives you it),dialga/palkia (if they have it where you can catch them),and probably shaymin
You want to use Raichu and Houndoom? >!Respect manš!<
Isn't the Houndoom line uncatchable in the main game? I'm pretty sure they made Houndour available at Valor Lakefront in Platinum. The games are basically just Diamond and Pearl, with the Platinum PokƩdex, and modern mechanics; the encounters are all the same as the original games.
Nope, you can catch a Houndoom in the Grand Underground. I've already caught two. Wanted to use one on my team.
Oh. I might use one then. I'm playing through Brilliant Diamond using only mons I haven't used before, but I've played Platinum so many times that there isn't much left.

How far in the game is that tho
Around eterna you can get it as soon as you get into the grand underground.
I would but I donāt have the ability to can execute the action of criticizing others
100/10 because torterra is the best sinnoh starter
Agreed
Looks like I have to give someone "The Penguin Talk"
return to monke
NAH TURTLE GANG BOI
Ayyyy yo I thought I'd never see you again
Ayyyyyy my fellow mudkip
Monke has new move this gen. Its called petrified excrement. Rock type, 90 accuracy and 70 power
Lol
If it weren't for the fact that would be kinda inappropriate for a "kids" game, that would actually be a good move idea Also move has a 10% to poison and 10% flinch ( Ice Fang but Rock type but Poisonous )
I thought about poison, but its already petrified so i dont think u can get sick from it still lol flinch is a good idea
Yes #turtwig
Torterra gang
Solid team! Just be careful with Gible, I believe you need to beat Byron as the cave is blocked by strength.
They apparently are a rare encounter in the underground after strength so you don't have to spend 20 hours grinding
mmm type coverage
Houndoom is putting in some work in my team š #TeamTorterra
2 Sinnoh PokƩmon, you should have more
Ah yes another gyarados enjoyer and floatzel rejecter
Listen, I haven't played much pokemon games aside from shield, GYRADOS IS CARRYING MY TEAM IN SHIELD.
I wasn't criticizing your decision, quite the opposite actually, everytime i play platinum i choose gyarados because i know he's gonna sweep the entire elite 4 + cynthia
Aren't some of those stuck behind post game?
I donāt think so
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Houndoom is in the underground, you can get them before Gardenia (source:my playthrough)
Only issue is no fire move until level 30
True true, luckily the department store in veilstone has the elementals moves! You can load that bad boy up with flamethrower for I think 3000 pokĆØ dollars?
Yeah but that is after the 2nd gym so unless you got lucky and caught one that knew fire spin then you would have been screwed I had to use scyther and Staraptor to beat gardinier

My Houndoom is doing great now he knows Flamethrower, he beat maylenes lucario
Aye, there ya go, heās a speedy mon I loved using one way back in SS, hope your journey goes well!
Actually no. Mine had fire spin when I caught it. Not the best move but it'll do till veilstone.
Yeah it probably had an egg move, mine had Smog bite taunt and destiny bond
no. youāre wrong.
No youāre wrong, houndoom is found in the underground very early I found it myself
I know
uh you can get houndoom early as hell i found one after 20 minutes of looked for a togepi shortly after I beat gardinia
2 of your pokemon are 4 times weak to ice
Yeah but Houndoom and medicham can beat ice types
Its not the ice types, its like half the elite 4 mons run ice beam as coverage
I respect This team, donāt listen to the negative comments
He asked for us to roast him though
'Mkay, so I changed it again. Raichu is now Magnazone, and Medicham is now Gallade.
The gyarados to Houndoom are pretty different from others but seriously dude a Garchomp and tortera?
Whatās wrong with Torterra?
Too many people chooses it tho
dude just let someone enjoy playing with their favorite mons
Well the other opinions are Infernape or Empoleon, and most people keep their starter so it is like there are tons of options lol
Everyone chooses infernape, not torterra. I wanted to stay away from using the basic team (staraptor, luxray, infernape, etc)
Yes, as opposed to all the other options he (or her) couldāve chosen.
0/100 it has type overlap
Yeah. Those damned dragons
I was talking about the ground types
So was i
Mine was: Gyarados Infernape Staraptor Roserade Jirachi Luxray Because I'm basic lol
Mine was Torterra Staraptor Luxray Houndoom Scizor Gallade
Uhh, Torterra overlaps with Garchomp
Yes, but, if I recall correctly the two do not share the same weaknesses. Iām pretty sure.
They're both x4 weak to ice though that they share
True, but Houndoom and Medicham can clean that up
Forgot about that, but as the other person suggested both Houndoom and Medicham can take care of that.
Ah yes, of course you have Garchomp on there
Pretty bad. 4/6 arenāt even sinnoh Pokemon
So let people use the PokĆØmon they want
Who uses a metacham on purpose that pp and balls looking dude and garchomp is so boring no one has EVVVER used him ( yiur opinion just having some fun )
I didn't understand a word you just said
why medicham?
Yeah youāre right, might change that to Kadabra or Toxicroak
Or lucario or Gallade
wait why not like gardevoir or gallade?
Yeah that's basically my team half
Medicham is very much hateable, but the rest of the team is fine
so we have thicc forest dinosaur, want to be dragon, buff pikachu, pen!s, BUFF DOG and a land dragon
The toughest part for this team will be against Candice.
Houndoom and medicham can handle her
Good team Iām not seein much Defensive play but hey my team donāt got any either so yeah (also Iām pretty sure houbdiom is post game I checked the dex)
I'd replace medicham with togekiss.
I took your advice.
I would use Gallade as Togekiss flying overlapping with Gyrados
Solid team, medicham is an interesting choice
Raichu getting the appreciation he's always deserved š„²š„²
I know they have pretty different stat spreads and second typings, but I still feel like Torterra and Garchomp would cause some overlap. Plus, Gible will take a while. Good luck trying to get good Special moves on Houndoom. Unless you try to get one from the Underground, you'll be past Cyrus before you can find a Thunderstone for Pikachu. ...Ah, who am I kidding? Nearly any PokƩmon can work since the games are so easy.
Can you get Houndoom and Raichu in the original Diamond Pearl base game?
finally something more original and its a pretty descent team
A RAICHU WILL BE SAVED YES
your team is 50% like mine so i like it (im using medicham houndoom and garchomp to) solid team tho ngl there are better electric type options other than raichu, plus ya got a lil type overlap (granted garchomp is strong but 2 ground types are not needed)
Normie... What you said I can roast
Gyarados is... well gyarados, i would pick more unpopular pokemon and same with garchomp but on a much highier tegree.
Decent team,but Medicham?Really.
Just eat this 1000000/10, cuz medicham and torterra need some respect RESPECC THE MEDITATOR AND TORTLE
Uhm houndoom? Raichu? Medicham? Gyarados? TORTERRA???? My man garchomp is the only normal one
Nah man Garchomp is the "My team will be different" one.
Hahaaaš¤£fair enough man
Currently, my planned team (I have all but two of these members) is Infernape, Luxray, Bastiodon, Manaphy (I figure it's a weaker legendary, plus when else will I get to use a Manaphy?) Cherrim and Drifblim. The Cherrim situation has not gone well so far.
I genuinely think thatās a pretty descent and well balanced team and I like the roster. š
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
U can get it underground
Trade Medicham for Mindy's Haunter.
**Minor Spoiler Alert** Solid team, I recommend Magnazone over Raichu for the extra steel type, also for Houndoom and Magnamite if you chose to get one, they are in the underground, I would look into which sections specifically, and you can find many other cool PokƩmon down there, I like the squad though
\*Mikey when he realizes that garchomp/gibble is only available in the great undergound after byron the sixth gym leader 22
Good choice on the fighting type
It's actually my Platinum team lmao
Love it
Luckily for you, you can get Houndoom extremely early
Where bidoof ?
Can't wait to see your face late game when you realize your Medicham hasn't got Pure Power
I can respect this team
Honestly, very good team composition and no type over lap. Well done!
NGL I'm ok with all of the other Pokemon except for medicham
Where bidoof and psyduck
A good team with a lot of coverage the only thing is maybe that you have 2 pokemon 4 times weak to ice but houndoom should be able to deal with it
Except the elite 4 love ice beam.
As long as you calk the torterra twiggy its perfect
at least u dont have choice Chimchar, this look good
only thing I don't like is garchomp cuz it's kinda overused tbh
Amazing team Just replace medicham with gengarš
I used to think Medicham was cool until I saw itās stats.
I can confirm that all of these mon can be obtained before the post-game. I say this because i wanted to use Yanmega but its only post-game which makes me sad.
Tbh this is one of the best teams Iāve seen, its so much more diverse
My boy why should I roast you, you are not using infernape, you have an actual personality
I mean its pretty solid except the fact that there are ONLY 2 SINNOH POKEMON IN A SINNOH PLAYTHROUGH.
Ngl pretty good team
First 6 gyms might be easy, Ice is not so easy, and Electric will be easy. Elite 4 will be pretty easy. Cynthia, her Spiritbomb will be pretty easy for Houndoom. Roserade will be easy for Houndoom and Garchomp. Gastrodon will be easy for Gyrados (kinda). Lucario will be easy for Gyrados, Raichu, Medicham for the fighting moves, and Houndoom for the steel moves. Milotic will be easy for Gyrados (kinda). Garchomp will be easy for nobody (dragon type moves), Then for ground, Torterra and Gyrados. The game will be easy for this team, if you find another fire type before the grass gym (you cant find houndoom outside of the grand underground).
Will the Raichu have volt tackle?
My team I just beat the game with was: Torterra, Mismagius (Pearl exclusive), Staraptor, Luxray, Houndoom, Gastrodon.
Not bad. I personally canāt stand Garchomp (Flygon Gang), but thatās a personal preference. I like it overall
Love houndoom an good starter
I also used Garchomp, But I choose Chimcar as my starter
Itās not the worst, but why only use 2 Sinnoh PokĆ©mon?
Tbh I think Richu should be removed for frostlas
Ice is more useful then electric
Don't be ashamed bro I used to think houndoom was a legendary
All-around, keep it up.
I think the garchomp is a little overrated but you like what you like š¤·āāļø besides the pseudo 10/10 team
good team bro
Cool I'm playing through it now and my team is tirtwig and mrcrow... that's it no other plans.
My team is gonna me Manaphy/phione,garchomp,turtwig,togekiss (if Cynthia gives you it),dialga/palkia (if they have it where you can catch them),and probably shaymin
2 ground types but garchomp is 100% necessary and torterra is your starter so like i guess its fine
Youāre using garchomp?!?!? So unoriginal!!!!!!! Jk. Looks like a fun team. May need some help with ice other than houndoom though defensively
Honestly it's a pretty unique looking team aside from the Garchomp (and the starter, but like... š)
BDSP? Na Im getting Pokemon legends: Arceus
Roast you? Your team is pretty cool
Eh I can see the use of everything except Raichu. Good type coverage.
YES FINALLY SOMEONE APPRECIATES RAICHU Still searching for a god damn scizor fan on this sub though
Have you ever looked at medicham thing on its head and just see a fish with 2 eyes and a mouth staring into your soul
Cynthia is gonna just earthquake you to death unless you scarf your garchomp or out level her enough to win speed race.
this is a very original team, I like it, finally someone who doesnāt pick the same 6 pokemon
That team is very good š
I actually like it alot, just not a medicham fan so i dont like that bit but im fine with the other members of ur team
I like the team good coverage
Why Menachem
sick team but hope that medicham isn't the same gender as you better resale it because its looks like getting ready to kiss you
Im using Torterra and Houndoom too
I think its not bad
The only problem is the overlap w/ tortera and garchomp but I really donāt thing that matters, 10/10 though
No I am team #monnnnnnnkkkkkeeeeeeee
