[@redranger8107]

Nope Never used that team in Gen 2. I used NidoQueen Gen 1 with Bubblebeam, Thunderbolt, Icebeam and BodySlam. Gen 3 Leaf Green tried Sandslash can't recall move set off hand. I tried a SlowKing in a gen game forgot which one. Noctowl recall gave up on it in Gen 2 thus outside other Gen game yep for me never used that team. Crystal no idea why Clefairy was my 1st level 100 Pokemon either when never did Cleafable.

[@Notconceitedjustbetterthanyou]

Used this team many times. Stop with the clickbait

[@justanotheremptychannel2472]

2 Ground, 2 Normal, not 2 creative

[@definitelyadragon1644]

You could have replaced Sunflora with Jumpluff. Jumpluff is pretty bad but not as bad as Sunflora as a grass type.

[@BoboBreez]

Nice idea!

[@C3beaslty]

I hope you do a “Rivals Best Team” series. It’s where you create teams that can counter every best team that you’ve done. Hope you do something like that in the future; other than that, keep up the great work!!

[@jdmammoth62]

Definitely not a bad idea. I’d like to see how imposing Silver can be if he actually builds a good team.

[@claudiapaz3620]

And If that happens then he could make a rivals worst teams

[@CragusMaximus]

He should pay you a slice of his KZbin pie for this idea! Keeps him going longer 😂

[@Onips11yt]

That's actually a really dope idea.

[@stormwalker8495]

Great suggestion!

[@crimsonfury949]

Well I'll be damned I love using Noctowl and Sandslash on my Johto playthroughs

[@alexthack]

I love Hoot Hoot and Noctowl, they are perfect ghost and psychic killers with that high special defense. I would replace nightmare with dream eater.

[@alejandrot934]

In my first playthrough i actually used Noctowl and Slowking too

[@MrBokLee]

Noctowl was definitely always one of my favorites!!!

[@SaintAbsol]

Noctowl pretty much always makes it on my team, and I really think he’s underselling it. It holds its own quite a bit better than he implies.

[@kalesmart1]

Yeah agreed, those 2 are usually that cute/cool vibe i like ive definitely used them both many times in silver teams, in fact its because of using them so much in that game i had 2 incredible builds for sun and moon for them both lol

[@KugelBlitz0]

My weird team would be (no gen 1s): Ariados Sudowoodo Girafarig Piloswine Octillery Hitmontop

[@ggletsplay5041]

Octillery is op. Just a pain to get an level up.

[@milanjack2461]

Sudowoodo is one of the most used pokemon lol.

[@S58-h2o]

Replace sudowoodo with Shuckle for this to work.

[@bosspoke]

@@ggletsplay5041 Problem with octillery is that you can get remoraid with super rod, which you can only get from Kanto. I read that you could obtain Remoraid earlier with good/old rod by forcing a remoraid swarm in the area. A bit of a hazzle but probably worth it, if one intends to use octillery.

[@stumpytheviolator3118]

My Pokemon Crystal team was Dragonite, Tyranitar, Slowking, Typhlosion, Kingdra and Furret which was my HM mule. A friend helped me get the trade evolutions one weekend. He started with Chikarita, I initially started with Totodile, after I traded him over Pokemon for caterpie I reset my game, rushed too Goldenrod, he sent over Seadra, Dragonair, Pupitar and I got a slowpoke with a king's rock. I didn't know you could catch Pokemon holding items at the time, we were 8 maybe 9 at the time. We ended up completing our Pokedex with the exception of Mew and Celebi. Being in Australia they were impossible to get, we only had access to the internet at the school library, that's how we found out who held what and where to get them. We didn't know the daycare glitch or the fly trick for them. Slowking was an absolute monster, he held his own alongside the rest of my team, even Furret put some work in. Trading with link cable was annoying. It was a good 4 weeks working on in together.

[@AdamDawson3]

This is the team I used on a recent playthrough of HeartGold alot of these Pokemon are very rarely used Meganium Xatu Corsola Furret Donphan Forretress

[@adammarjanovic]

That’s really nice

[@shawngallagher8764]

Props for Corsola

[@Saladon89]

My team is always changing, first starts out with the common types then all lengendaries end game. But i always keep my starter pokemon

[@theconnected7234]

I'd argue coraola and xatu are heavily used as they look like cool new Pokemon in gen 2. Not just redesigned gen 1 mons like Marill

[@Esprox]

I have a Meganium and a Donphan on my Crysyal team right now, cheers

[@Jonathan-nk4tc]

I like the sandslash add. I’ve always been a big fan of it

[@juanca2567]

You got to add Purugly in the Sinnoh video. Also Shuckle is forgotten too much considering one could get one from a trainer that had the Sneasel Silver stole, making them rivals like how trainers clash their starter Pokémon with the rivals’ starter Pokémon regardless of type advantage.

[@cpacoustic]

I've used Nidoqueen on kanto teams a few times as an alternative to Nidoking. For a playthrough of the main game, there is barely anything between them I find. I basically catch whichever Nidoran I find first and that's the one I choose

[@dannythedishboy1074]

That happens to have been the exact move set for my Slowking in my latest play thru of HeartGold 😂 Truly an amazing mon'!

[@TheRm1996]

I literally hunt for dunsparc every play through lmao

[@SCAndrews]

I try to use Slowking all the time when I can, super underrated

[@Hutch2Much]

i used Sandslash on my team in Crystal, and they were definitely one of the best ‘mons on my team. if you have the patience to raise one, it’s definitely rewarding

[@lukediehl1210]

I actually love Noctowl and Sandslash. I love the design, even if they aren't the most viable options, and I've got both on a HeartGold nuzlocke team right now. I also prefer Nidoqueen to Nidoking. I like the more defensive stat spread.

[@CaptainFidget]

I've legit run a team through Gold with Noctowl, Sandslash, Nidoqueen and Sunflora. Think the other two were Feraligatr and Ampharos who basically carried though. Never used a Dunsparce in my life though

[@TrainerZenjamin]

Love the Slowpoke line representation. Great video!

[@zachnapa1191]

I’m still waiting for the redone sun and moon team(it recommends joltion for totem wishiwashi, even though you can’t get a thunder stone before then)

[@GreekSouvlakiFtw]

For the last Pokemon i was expecting to see Heracross because of so hard it was to get or maybe Forretress but..Sunflora ? Damn,i forgot that Pokemon for GOOD. Also i remember me as a kid finding Dunsparce for the first time,i got so hyped finding a new Pokemon and by the looks of it i thought "damn this one will have a badass evolution" but as we all know..yea..

[@dominichusbands7042]

I actually use Nidoqueen over her male counterpart always.She has good attacking stats and is far better than Nidoking defensively

[@alexchongz3]

i think good defense is not that great if you don't have a recovery move if you are not using items. i don't loathe good defense because i prefer peacekeeping defensive mons, but i mentioned in the "You never used this Kanto team" before, Clefable is in a similar situation to Nidoqueen. This is a pity because I actually like Clefable.

[@PunishedPrince]

I used dunsparce in a crystal nuzlocke. Honestly it did great for the first 4 badges. Rage and rollout are very strong early Gen 2

[@SilverZephyrFalcon]

Early Dunsparce is an amazing Pokemon. STAB Headbutt pretty early is extremely good, and it has decent bulk.

[@samwill7259]

No Ariados? That was always my obscure little addition in the Gen 2 games, still is. Not because it's good, it's NOT, it's not even the best poison type in a gen more than a decade before poison OR bug types got thrown half a bone. I just always play with it because I like it and it's pretty little spider face. One of the short list of pokemon I'd want for my partner if I lived in the pokemon world.

[@Maravillante]

Right now I'm doing a Pkmn Gold Nuzlocke and: - Had to use Hoothoot at the beginning, she's out of my team now but she took down Bugsy only with Peck - Got a Sandsdrew who evolved into Sandslash and although I want to replace him, he is one of my most valuable Pkmn with high ATK and DFE - I'm a Slowpoke fan, but I'm keeping her in the box because I don't want her to get hurt or die... but might use her as a SlowQueen This was a great video, keep going with the series =)

[@tomasaraujo1799]

I always use Sandslash so

[@Johnathanathanathan]

My first Johto team was Typhlosion, Raticate, Furret, and Noctowl. I only used Typhlosion and Raticate in battles, and really, only Typhlosion.

[@MrSamTealeaf]

I used Slowking in my playthrough of Crystal and it was amazing

[@whalesequence]

Slowking is one of my favorites, great choice

[@jacobcamacho5452]

While you're still talking about johto, I think you should remaster the best teams for meganium and feraligatr because it uses trade evolutions

[@typhoonboom]

for a challenge in pokemon gold i used gold's manga team, including his sunflora, and that sunflora was better than expected. she crushed pryce and she was one of the most used mons in kanto. i also had a aipom, and that thing was way worse that sunflora.

[@ronzeak851]

I always use Sunflora, Sandslash, and Nidoqueen in my gen 2 runs. I also have a liking to slowking.

[@kalesmart1]

You'd love my sun and moon box with junk mons i try to redeem with z moves etc, i had a really good bulky assault vest sunflora and a z move sandstorm/stone edge, i can't remember nidoqueen but i also had that in silver too

[@gautiermilewski4322]

Sandslash is my go-to ground pokemon. I know there are better pokemon for that role but I just love the little thing!

[@youtubecyan7061]

Dunsparce is actually kinda good at times I have used it before and it wasn't the best but still fine lol

[@GreyLeo]

Okay I can honestly say tho I have used all the mons on this team I have never used them together. Good job man

[@quietguyjosh4643]

funny thing is in my original silver play through i used noctowl and dunsparce (i thought dunsparce would evolve had it till elite 4)

[@adammarjanovic]

I’ve used Dunsparce, it was pretty fun honestly

[@Miioru]

I actually used nidoqueen in my original playthrough as a kid. She's my favorite of the two and in my top 10 favorite pokemon. I bodyslammed and ice punched everything. I'm so happy to see her here

[@josukehigashikata8802]

This looks really good love the content

[@thiffio9134]

You think your team is weird? (Laugh track) Well, meet mine! These are the Pokémon I've never used

[@rafaerujpeg248]

I just finished my adventure on Soul Silver using only Johto pokemon and it feels really great to beat a game without overused pokemon, I used Lanturn Heracross Xatu Quagsire Bellossom and Magcargo

[@Black-bn6ic]

My favorite team to play through Silver and Crystal used to be: Typhlosion Umbreon Noctowl Scizor Slowking Ampharos Once I played it through with only bug pokemons and my team was this: Heracross Ariados Crobat Forretress Scizor Gyarados only for Surf etc.

[@kshepard05]

Crobat is Poison Flying tho…?

[@Jjames763]

Dunsparce is my favorite. Total meme Pokémon. My GSC moveset is, well, actually good, so maybe it doesn’t fit here, but it is Curse, Zap Cannon, Headbutt, and Rest.

[@rjayx1539]

Funny enough, in my last SoulSilver playthrough, I used 1/3 of this team. Sandslash and Nidoqueen. It was a fun but frustrating Mono-Ground type run.

[@jimmywoo7875]

I loved slowking. It just socks it takes so far into the game to get it.

[@Lahiss]

Well Slowking's attack was better than I thought. That Shadowball won't go completely waste.

[@sceptilethehedgehog5862]

What Have I Used Here? Noctowl: Yes Dunspares: No Sandslash: Yes Slowqueen: No But I Will Some Day Nidoqueen: Yes Sunflora: Yes

[@chilly-2007]

Nice team comp. I’ve used Sunflora before, and theyre not as bad as you would think. Really solid for water/rock/ground types and growth/synthesis/giga drain is also nice. I think maybe some Pokémon like Lanturn/Ursaring/politoed are also a bit more underused.

[@ShadowDaHam]

Sandslash definitely deserves more love! I used one in my first Crystal playthrough and it was my lead for the longest time. That f****** shrew could tear up the whole elite four by himself. And it was only like level 55 or 60! 🤷🤣

[@NTAuburn]

Dunsparce is my favourite pokemon, and is a legit beast if properly ev-trained. Glare or thunderwave to paralyze and slow your enemies, then bite and headbutt to make them flinch, and something to keep it alive, like rest, roost or leftovers. Unexpected and hard to deal with if you use it at just the right time in the match.

[@seddysed18woodall46]

believe it or not the first two members of this video was on my OG johto team from my pokemon gold and also used sunflora lol. the team was thyphlosion, noctowl, quagsire, amphoros, sunflora and dunsparce. brought this same team back when I got heartgold then I finally revamped my johto team.

[@23Fists]

I've used Sandslash, Nidoqueen, Noctowl, and Dunsparce in a team together before, but I definitely have never used a sunflora xDx mightve used a Slowking in another run, but I remember using those other 4 in my 2nd Crystal playthrough. Always been a Sandslash fan, always loved the Nidos, Noctowl looked cool at the time, and Dunsparce I was convinced would evolve into a dragon until it was about lvl 70 xDx man, I both remember fondly and with disdain how much misinformation went around back then around pokemon games ( Mew under the truck, 2nd S.S. Anne trip in RBY/RGY, dunsparce evolved into a dragon, Pikablu, the list goes on.

[@Jakeoffski]

My recent Nuzlocke run of gold finished with Typhlosion, Nidoqueen, Slowbro, Xatu, Eggseggutor, and Jynx

[@VictoriousVulpix]

Just played through crystal with poliwrath, slowking, and pigeot. Didn’t have much trouble till the elite four, entered at lv 42.

[@shine-ub6eb]

Funny enough I've used 2 of these before on the same playthrough in Nidoqueen and Sandslash, but I ain't never gonna use sunflora when every single grass type in Johto outclass it

[@MikeSiegert]

My current SS team I’m running with is: - Maganium - Scizzor - Slowking - Raikou - Misdreavus - Tyranitar (I try to never use legendaries on my team but I have never played with any of the dogs and Raikou is my favorite I thought it would be time to use him for a playthrough)

[@Pinkstars1605]

Nidoqueen is actually the more defensive of the two nidos, also the elemental punches are all special attack based

[@Esprox]

My current Crystal team is: Meganium, Skarmory, Mr Mime, Donphan, Poliwrath, and Jolteon. I'm intentionally using Pokemon I've never used before.

[@joshberg307]

My first play through of this region was feraligtr, ariados, noctowl, ampharos, umbreon, and donphan

[@celestialfinizen2018]

Welp, let's see which of these I've used in the past. Noctowl: I've used this exactly once before, in HeartGold. It's kind of a godsend against Morty specifically with its access to Confusion and Insomnia. It's definitely better in Gen 4 than 2. Dunsparce: Nope. Haven't gotten a chance to use Dunsparce yet, unless Pokemon Uranium counts. Sandslash: I've never used a Kantonian Sandslash before, but Alolan Sandslash was good when I used it in Moon. Slowking: Ironically, I've used Politoed twice now, and never Slowking. Not even Slowbro. I guess it's mostly because there's so many other Water options that I just haven't gotten around to it. Nidoqueen: I've used this one 3 times so far; once in Blue, once in LeafGreen, and once in SoulSilver. It's not in my top 10 favorites along with Nidoking for nothing. Sunflora: I'm not THAT masochistic lol

[@pokemaster374]

If only the virtual console of the johto games were able to trade online than I would have no problem trying to have a slowing for a team like this

[@genesis4322]

I don't know why but watching this video got me thinking about a gen 1 rock team. I mean there are 6 rock types in gen 1 but only 5 available in 1 playthrough.

[@alexmanthey8563]

Sparce is one my favs I use him somewhat frequently

[@JokerDoom]

Unironically, I’ve used most of those in Nuzlockes when I’m in a bind and lost my better Pokémon.

[@theviking6652]

My sisters team for Pokémon Crystal was Meganium, Slowking, Noctowl, Espeon, Weezing and Electrode. She was one of those lucky ones to get the kings rock on her slowpoke she caught.

[@dylannuggetsfan]

For the ruby, sapphire, and emerald one volbeat is option but I used it was a beast

[@Xfaction1111]

Slowing is a mandatory pic for my Gen 2 games lol. I always name it Oxforde.

[@timothybelloftheclanbell1658]

I've only ever had a problem beating Morty once and I kept losing over and over and over again. I remember how I finally beat him and I felt so stupid for not doing that to begin with. my final time I kept resetting and got tired of having to lose to experience to start the battle over and decided to take the loss and sent out my freshly evolved level 20 Fearow which I figured was gonna be one shot with a shadow ball only to get the text "IT DOESN'T EFFECT FEAROW" I forgot he had the normal type and I one shot his Gengar with a critical Aerial Ace and got the badge. ever since I've beat him with a Rattata using bite as for Whitney I use a female Drowzee with disable to eliminate rollout and the dreaded falling in love issue. once you come up with solid strategy and can execute it the hardest gym leaders will become push overs

[@ggash4393]

Bro Do Rom Hacks And Tell the team For it or recommend

[@ggaboveaveragegamer]

My team was not as common but plausible, I had feraligatr,jolteon, victreebel,wigglituff,togetic, and golem. Believe it or not wigglituff was the mvp with the elemental punches plus it was shiny so that made it even better

[@ChrisMeccaTV]

All those pokemon were definitely used when the game originally game out

[@peng1luver259]

I caught a shiny Alolan Sandshrew in my digital copy of Pokémon Ultra Sun and named it Bluebelly, I kept it as a Sandshrew because I enjoy the shiny and it was a full odds shiny when I was grinding out my Pokédex. I have my best shiny luck with Gen 7, as I usually fill a box full of shiny Pokemon in the ultra games, and got a few full odds, no grind, shiny mons, like Bluebelly and my purple Mareep. A challenge I have is to have someone fill a box full of shiny Pokemon by any non hack/GameShark means in the Ultra games

[@BAMCIS13450703]

Nidoqueen had same stats as nidoking too which was definitely the best non starter in gen 1

[@videogameman72]

I've used Noctowl, Sandslash, Nidoqueen, Slowking, and Sunflora, but never all on the same team. The first 3 are ones I tend to come back to in other games and Gen 2 replays, though, mostly for how much I love the designs.

[@Machoke.]

Ah mystic umbreon assumes that I have not used this team again. He would be right 😆

[@kanpaifighto]

I ALWAYS use Noctowl in my in-game play through a since Silver, I like this already

[@kanpaifighto]

…and actually, I used Noctowl and Nidoqueen in Soul Silver 😭

[@kairafe3762]

Yeah that is a unique team. The only pokemons that I actually use from that team is Sandslash because I like it but I don't use it often because I try to use a gen 2 only team when I play crystal. But I always use Dunsparce because it is my favorite pokemon of all. I use the same team every time so here it is: 1. Meganium 2. Furret 3. Dunsparce 4. Qwilfish 5.Skarmory 6. Raikou

[@JohnWilliamsG19]

Sandslash is my favorite pure ground type and a staple of my gold team

[@kylewagoner]

Dunsparce rules and I love using it, especially early in the game.

[@Absenteeee]

Haha jokes on you MysticUmbreon, this is the team i used i my VERY FIRST PLAYTHROUGH (i say, lying through my teeth)

[@kiradeki3561]

Dude...how dare you disrespect my baby Dunsparce like that? Dunsparce isn't "some weird snake", it's a tsuchinoko. A Japanese cryptid with a fair few interesting stories behind it. And it's kind of a beloved creature, hence why it shows up in so much Japanese media. And by the way, a Dunsparce with Roll Out can be fearsome and quite useful. As a matter of fact, I've used Dunsparce on several teams in the past. (Granted, not this exact team, but still)

[@timothybelloftheclanbell1658]

I almost used Sandslash in one of the later games but it couldn't learn false swipe so I went with something else

And Noctowl as my go to Flying-type on G/S/C on gameplays were I limit myself to never use Gen I mons (because Murkrow is only postgame) The other 3 I never used on Johto tho (but have used Sandslash and Nidoqueen on Kanto), soooo, 3 out of 6 lol.

Jokes on you! I already used Sunflora, Slowking AND Noctowl each once!

[@jonathanmartinez7803]

This does seem like a fun thing to try out.

[@chrisL1995]

No lie I've used this team for crystal when I was little. Sandslash because of that episode when sandshrew was strong in that circus. Noctowl because ash has difficulty catching him because of hypnosis so I thought it was strong. Sunflora because sunflora was strong in one of the episodes and then I think he finally got accepted. Slowking because pokemon 2000 made him seem super strong because he was a main character in my 8yr old brain. Nidoqueen because she was strong in the orange islands against ash and the episode about the 2 nidos falling in love but can't be together. And dunsparce or however you spell it because he didn't appear alot for me in the tunnel and I only saw him at night so I thought he was super strong and it was hard to catch at the lvl I was at.
