Yea but the high base power physical grass move is wood hammer that also do serious recoil damage and torterra is a physical attacker , there arent any good physical grass attack before that , since its gen 8 maybe it will have 80 base power seed bomb. Yea i forgot its probably gen 8 level up set.

What about a “If every gym leader was dual typed” video? Thought it would be cool to see gym leaders with two specialties.

[@IgnatiusBlaze4]

Especially for gen 1, when dark, steel, and fairy didn't exist. Actually that would've been a neat idea for a game, especially in ORAS or Let's Go PE since they went deep into the alternate timelines. Instead of being grass and sleepy Eirika is a fairy specialist and is all peppy, maybe Giovanni isn't the gym leader for the 8th gym, instead it's Karen, Agatha's granddaughter who becomes the 4th member of the elite 4 in Johto games. Surge is a steel type because they saved him in the war instead of electric Pokemon, so he's got a Magneton (...or Magnezone) as his signature. Blaine was saved by a fire Pokemon who he thought was Moltres in the original games, but what if instead it was Galarian Moltres, so he's a dark or flying type user instead of fire (though that means no Karen, unless she was a fire gym leader because her main Houndoom is fire dark, and yes this also means some Johto Pokemon should be in it OF WHICH LET'S GO SHOULD'VE DONE, FRLG did it). I also left feedback for BDSP back when the 1st trailer came out, because it looks like a copy paste DP (so far still does outside of small touches). One suggestion I made was maybe Flint is the 8th gym leader while Volkner took his spot in the elite 4, because we got there too late, or their roles just swapped because they are best friends and rivals, Volkner just beat him to the elite 4 in some alternate timeline. That also means Sunnyshore isn't as advanced since Volkner doesn't have time to tinker and isn't home as much.

My team for these games is gonna be one that I've looked forward to planning out for a while. Basically, I want only dual-type pokemon, and every team member needs to share a type with another member, like a chain. To make things more interesting, I've also decided to never have more than two instances of a type. Here it is: Infernape - Close Combat - Flare Blitz - U-Turn - Rock Slide Medicham - Zen Headbutt - Drain Punch - Thunder Punch - Ice Punch Gardevoir - Moonblast - Psychic - Thunderbolt - Shadow Ball Togekiss - Air Slash - Aura Sphere - Dazzling Gleam - Flamethrower Gliscor - Poison Jab - Acrobatics - Earthquake - X-Scissor Garchomp - Dragon Claw - Earthquake - Crunch - Rock Slide The only type that three of them are weak to, ice, is countered by Infernape and Medicham. Overall, I'm proud of this team. It took a while to make, but I think that it's pretty impressive considering the rather constrictive rules I gave myself.

Poison is pretty awful in Sinnoh. Team Galactic members mainly use Steel and Poison types, there’s Roark, Fantina, Byron, Bertha, Lucian, most of Cynthia’s team and a smattering of onesies and twosies like Wake’s Quagsire, Maylene’s Lucario, etc.

There's 6 days to go, and I'm frequently thinking over what I would want on my team. The only thing I'm wondering now is, since it's been confirmed thanks to the datamining that it's the original DP Sinnoh Dex in play, how long I would have to go searching in the Grand Underground to get the 1 non-Sinnoh-Dex Pokemon I would want on my team? Also, for one particular Pokemon on the team I'm thinking about, how long would it take for me to get the evolution item? I would prefer not to have to wait as long as I did in the original game. Anyway, here's the team I was planning on using: Infernape Luxray Roserade Gastrodon Gardevoir Weavile

[@williamkaplan1430]

east or west gastrodon (this is important to me)

@@williamkaplan1430 Not sure yet. I'm definitely gonna be starting with the West Sea Gastrodon since it's the one you get access to first and I'd like it to be a usable part of my team from the start, but I'm completely open to switching to the East Sea one once it becomes accessable.

[@Chatterbox1237]

Overall,and not worrying about defense,the team is strong,the Pokémon are strong,but you don’t have offensive stab for ground and psychic,both of which have elite four,and you don’t fair well defensively well against ice and ground,I recommend switching out staraptor for weavile,it’s not weak to Ice or ground,which sure,eliminates an immunity for stab coverage,but that would give you a stab súper effective the two types that you don’t have stab for,that would fix a lot of problems,mainly since having staraptor and togekiss in the same team is redundant unless you worry about backup,

[@Eyedonutno]

I used Floatzel instead of togekiss, which is even more original, I know. I’m a genius.

It seems pretty likely that you can get either the platinum evolutions or the items for them in the underground. So, this will be my team: Torterra Electivire Magmortar Togekiss Floatzel Weavile

[@bookmasterharry4432]

Togekiss can learn Aura Sphere, which can crush the steel types, especially since Togekiss is fast and a great Special Attacker.

[@kitsu1379]

Yes but as a fairy type in later games, it is also weak to steel so while it will most definately outspeed most, if not all steel types, if it get paralysed for a turn or misses or is confused or it against something with study of anything that can prevent it from OHKOing it's probably gunna get OHKO'd right back against steels... I know it's pretty tanky but steel types can hit like a truck. Also a lot of steel types can also learn rock moves which it is also weak too.

@@Pinecrystal Do you mean why I mentioned it with the steel types? It's coz a lot of steel types moves, at least in the games I've played, tend to be learnt at pretty high levels so they're less of a threat at earlier levels, however rock type moves are pretty common not only on rock types but on steel types, ground types, fighting types and so on. I dunno if the switch games changed that and had more early level steel moves, if they have then just ignore me mentioning rock types.
