[@stellarknight04]

This team is good

[@DFuegoH]

I've been reading your comments and you guys pointed out a mistake I made in this video, so allow me to correct it here. Venusaur is NOT the only grass type available before challenging Misty. You can catch a Paras and Oddish/Bellsprout as well. It is important to note though that Oddish and Bellsprout are version exclusives, so I would not consider them as options either way, and Parasect is, well, trash haha. So in my opinion, Venusaur is still the best grass type to defeat Misty. Edit: I have also been receiving a lot of feedback that you guys will have trouble accessing a lot of the members because they are trade evolutions. Do most of you still play on the original gameboy? I find that a bit hard to believe since trying out different teams would require the use of multiple cartridges, which is expensive and inconvenient compared to emulators. It is actually quite easy to access trade evolutions on emulators (for gameboy games specifically, which is why I do not use trade evolutions on teams for gens 4 and up). If you guys would like, I can make a separate video teaching you how to do it. It makes playing through the games a much more fun experience.

[@geisterwolf397]

How are version exclusives a no go but trade evos aren't? Not everyone has the ability to trade or access to a randomizer to enable trade evos by level up.

[@DFuegoH]

@@geisterwolf397 version exclusives are a no go because this team is supposed to be the overall best for both games. It is also much more inconvenient to trade version exclusives to the other games because it requires you to play the other game all the way to the point you that you can catch that pokemon before trading it to the other game. Whereas with trade evolutions, you just need to be able to trade and that's it. I have never used a randomizer to make pokemon evolve and I do not have the slightest clue how it works. As for general accessbility to trade evolutions, it's really only a problem if you only play on the original gameboy. It's very accessible for emulator users. I edited my pinned comment to propose a potential solution.

Venusaur - the only grass pokemon that is resistant against lightning and objectively best starter Jolteon - absorbs HP from getting hit with lightning attacks, teach it ground moves such as dig to use vs electric pokemon. Lapras - high HP you can teach water and ice moves Snorlax - Highly contingent on learning the Shadow Ball TM from the Rocket Game Corner. If you can, this is the prime Sabrina Killer. Dodrio - goated flying pokemon to use vs grass, no fire pokemon needed and tri attack is one of the best moves in the game Starmie - teach it psychic moves, water and ice. I believe it is exclusive to Leaf green in the wilderness, thus making it the better game

[@nicolasromani3523]

This is my personal best team because of how easy they are to get - Venusaur - Fearow - Raichu/Jolteon - Dugtrio - Lapras/Vaporeon - Mr.Mime

[@TheShiningEnergy]

I'm going with MysticUmbreon's team. You don't have to trade to get any of them, aside from Jynx, who has an in game trade. Gamefreak should have really given us another option to gain these pokemon without needing a buddy to trade with outside of the games.

[@DFuegoH]

You do you! You don't necessarily have to use the strongest team to have fun. It's really unfortunate how limited the options are in the Kanto region which makes trade evolutions a must to form a team with chemistry. That said, I went ahead and included traded pokemon anyway because it's not difficult to figure out how to trade with yourself on an emulator.

[@QuietRiot3991]

I just started a game of LeafGreen for nostalgia 😅 so far I just beat Misty and am in Vermilion. My team atm is: 1) Ivysaur 2) Fearow (will replace later, but will still be my flyer) 3) Nidoking 4) Alakazam I'm still unsure who my next 3 members will be, I just know I'll need a water type. Though I do already have two fully evolved Pokémon, one a physical sweeper and the other a special sweeper. I consider this impressive!

[@magicalgirllaurie]

I think Nidoking's massive movepool is always really valuable to have, but moreso in RBY rather than FRLG. The fact that most Pokémon don't have good and varied movesets in gen 1 makes Nidoking incredible, whereas in gen 3 movesets still aren't great but they're much improved from gen 1 so Nidoking becomes less valuable. Sidenote: It would be interesting to see how well Nidoking is able to perform in an XY playthrough considering that horde battles allow you to get Hidden Ability Pokémon easily, and Nidoran is available in hordes. Sheer Force Nidoking is a monster because of how powerful it can be. Then again Garchomp is available in XY so that probably just invalidates Nidoking. Second sidenote: You keep talking about being able to access trade evolutions vanilla games in an emulator, but I've never known how to do that and as far as I know, most people don't. Most people just use the Universal Pokémon Randomiser to make trade evos available through normal playthrough methods instead of trading. It doesn't invalidate your choices that most people don't know how to do it, I would just like to know how so I can try it out in future playthroughs.

[@naitik.666-k2e]

Well i have completed fire red around 23 times😂..... And i think the best team is 👇🏻 Venusaur- Razor leaf Giga drain Toxic Leech seed Nidoking- Earthquake Megahorn Brick brake Strength Zapdos- Fly Drill peck Thunderbolt Thunder Laprus- Surf Ice beam Shock wave Psychic Alakzam( u can get traded Pokemon in mobile emulator)- Psychic Calm mind Psybeam Recover Flareon/snorlax(used them mainly for shadow ball...u can choose any of them...ur gonna win anyways)- Flamethrower Fire blast Shadow ball Hidden power OR brick brake Shadow ball Fire blast Body slam Using this team won't give u hard time what so ever.....u can use this for main as well as post game ❤

[@bosspoke]

My pick for best kanto team would probably look like this: (With trade option - best team): Venusaur Alakazam Jolteon Snorlax Lapras Rhydon (Without trade option - Leafgreen - 2nd best team): Venusaur Jolteon Snorlax Starmie Lapras Rhydon (Without trade option - Firered - 3rd best team): Venusaur Jolteon Snorlax Jynx Lapras Rhydon With these teams we have all elite 4 & champion pokemon covered. All Team rocket poison types+Giovanni is covered this way. As well as all gyms except electric type gym and grass gym (if you can't have alakazam). Honestly electric gym is too easy anyway, same with Erika, you don't really need to counter them.

[@shadiqmusyaffa745]

I've been Waiting for this video

[@sockmonkeyjg]

I agree with all except I use blastoise over venusaur, I find that it's better overall, can counter its own weaknesses with EQ and ice beam respectively and due to being a defensive tank pairs better with the team abovw

My team was Charizard(fly,blast burn, flamethrower and dragon claw) Raichu(thunderbolt, thunder wave,thunder and rain dance) Nidoking(toxic, earthquake,megahorn and thrash) Mr mime(shadow ball,psychic,calm mind and magical leaf) Lapras (surf,ice beam, blizzard and perish song) Hitmonlee(bulk up,rock slide,brick break and high jump kick)

[@tonyfernandezCFC87]

the game should be about enjoying the game and playing with your favourites you grew up with or just liked the most, being able to get to a high enough level is easy enough i think you should be able to get a team of 5/6 pokemon you like the most while ensuring you have good coverage of moves is not difficult and being able to get each pokemon to at least level 50/60 should be easy ive done this multiple times. i find i enjoy this option a lot more rather then choosing pokemon just for practicality.

[@whocares1646]

Enjoying the videos, makes me want to challenge myself to try and find a better team myself. Also bulbasaur is not the only grass before Misty. Paras is in mt moon and bellsprout or oddish is in the above route but I get it, oddish and bellsprout are version exclusives and parasect is much more niche.

[@DFuegoH]

Welp, it didn't occur to me that Paras is a grass type haha. Thanks for clarifying!

[@wildresin6292]

What all those best teams lack is the proper hm distribution. I mean its a part of the game play right? Nobe of the teams actually include the pokemon that could do well and use hms efficiently in the same time My proposition -Blastoise Nature:Modest Surf Waterfall Ice beam Bite (gen 2&3 speciall attack) -Fearow Nature:Adamant Fly Return Steel wing Drill peck -Raticate Nature:Adamant Cut(stab) Strenght(stab) Dig Shadow Ball (physical in this gen) - Electrode Nature:Modest Thunder Rain dance Flash Thief - Marowak Item Thick Club Nature Carefull Bonemerang Rock smash False swipe Rock Slide -Gengar Nature Jolly Hypnosis Dream Eater Mean Look Confuse ray This team has all the HM distributed properly as well as is equiped to catch pokemon even the legendary dogs covers all the basis battle wise and provides none linear playtrough as you need the cubone for lt surge and in the provess you can catch all the members before 3 badge.

[@DFuegoH]

The reason I do not factor in hms when creating a best team is that they contribute nothing to the actual battles (with the exception of surf and, sometimes, waterfall and strength) and you can go to the nearest pokemon center and switch out one of your members for an hm slave if you need to go to a specific place or use a particular hm, which takes a minute at the most. Also, you can teach hm moves to the main team before the elite 4, and then use the move deleter to get rid of them. Nonetheless, I appreciate the feedback, and if it turns out that many viewers share your sentiment, I will create another team that factors in hms.

[@wildresin6292]

@@DFuegoH cut has power of 50 after STAB on Ratticate its 75 thats the power of brick break one of better fighting moves you cannot say its bad. Not the best like body slam or return but in the gen that has limited amount of tms this can be use full plus if you use it on a pokemon like raticate with guts its even stronger. I can tell you now people dont realize the true potential of hms after years of people like mistic umreon dumping shit on this mechanic. People are like a sheep they follow the influencers. Id be poketuber myself there is a tone of things id do differently than main stream poketubers but i dont have good presentation skills plus pokemon as a franchise has been dead for me since 7th gen arrived so there is limited content i could produce.

It lacks few things like sweet scent for example but you cant have everything. In later games id definitely have on the team galade as it is the best false swipe user, status inflicter as it deals paralize and sleep depending on the opposite pokemons ability and has also mean look. It has also ability to learn tount agains roar users. So Galade has it all. However as for tjird gen thats the best team for kanto considering not only gyms but also catching mechanics as well as traversing mechanics. There are for sure better performance pokemon out there but its not just about power but the ultimate team for everybtask not just battling.

[@JoaoMiguel-bu3il]

I love your videos bro, but I've been looking for other teams for fire red, and for me the choice that makes the most sense for the starter between Bulbasaur and Squirtle would be Squirtle, since despite Bulbasaur's great start and the strategy of sleep powder and leech seed, he doesn't do much in the elite four and against the champion, who will have 3 pokemons that will be super effective, Squirtle could be trained until he learned bite to defeat Misty and be useful against the elite 4 both for his strong defenses and moves (surf, bite, ice beam) , plus Blue's team would now only have 1 pokemon that will be super effective. I would like to know if you have already considered this possibility and if so why the result was not as satisfactory compared to the bulbasaur.

You can solo a lot of trainers with the bolt/beam/surf combo but I have Tbolt on my last Pokémon you can sub between psychic and body slam depending on what you want. You can also get cheeky with toxic/rest but I go more offensive Magneton Thunderbolt Thunder wave Tri-attack Reflect/light screen (Unfortunately not any real steel offense in earlier gems but the typing still makes an excellent pivot that can come out and start afflicting status ailments with either a thunder wave or tri attack.

my team is -vileplume -blastoise -pidgeot -arcanine -gengar -alakazam if you want to put jolteon instead of alakazam i would too cause its cool but strategicly alakazams a better option i think

[@PlushieMaster]

Wow this was an incredible video

[@DFuegoH]

Thanks a lot!

[@PlushieMaster]

@@DFuegoH of course! I actually ended up spending my whole morning binging your videos lmaooo

[@DFuegoH]

@@PlushieMaster That means a lot! I'm in law school right now which is why I'm not uploading that frequently, but I have many more videos coming out. I'd be really happy if you'd watch those videos as well when they come out 😁

[@PlushieMaster]

@@DFuegoH of course! I'm already subbed and excited for the next video!!! Good luck in school!!!!

[@celowein]

Interesting you ran no water-types. But you get credit for saying Magneton. Being the only steel type in the main game is a massive advantage!

[@tog1601]

My team ain't the best but it's honest work Blastoise Primeape Nidoking Kadabra Farfetch'd Jolteon

[@silversilva7555]

No strong bug pokemon? I've given Parasect a try and I enjoyed using it at least against Sabrina's pokemon.

[@HarmonyPenguin]

Ok another Venusaur fan that's fine. Golem slow and electric types aren't a problem in this game especially since you can catch lvl 25 dugtrio in digglet cave right next to surge but ok golem is the best rock type B4 elite four Alakazam is the best psychic short of mewtwo but if you're walking into Agatha low lvled and slower then gengar you want hypno but hypno is weak also you tank everything and you're really low lvl so maybe no Alakazam in this case but nothing really wrong with it chancy has no defence no attack and sp atk obv bad choice but all good teams need a tank and chancey fulfills that role gengar with haste is as fast as neutral Alakazam and you use him as a tank? One or the other not both you don't need psychic AND ghost that's wasting a space but gengar IS powerful and you make good use of curse and hypnosis, although this one, magnaton? Zapdos by far the best electric type and flying type Pokemon in the game but ok i can understand no legendaries ok so here's my team, Blastoise surf hydro Cannon earthquake blizzard or starmie psychic surf ice beam thunder bolt, Charizard over heat or fire blast dragon claw Arial ace earthquake, or Arcanine overheat extreme speed iron tail hyper beam you need a flying type and dodrio is a faster stronger Fearow, gotta have fly, drill peck return and agility/tri attack/thief/anything. Electric eevee is the second fastest Pokemon in the game thunder bolt thunder shock wave paralysis Alakazam with haste psychic ghost ball reflect what else and all good teams need a tank and i use all the tanks but my favorite by far is snorelax high health high sp def high atk shadow ball and sleep talk and destroy agatha or be more creative and whatever you tank the most he can probably use a tm against it eg ice beam vs dragons or surf vs Tyranitar fire blast i was able My team focuses more on sacrificing then tanking use a weak Pokemon that'll get one hit in switch to their weakness strong atk to take them out and tank to potion and your highest lvl Pokemon should be tank as it's generally used the most and the stronger your tank the lower lvl you can be in elite four you don't have a bad team it's really good one of the best I've seen i was much more impressed with this then Nidoking which is a horrible recommendation no doubt really good job if you ever want to challenge yourself further beat the elite four with Blastoise and Zapdos or beat trainer tower with a decent lvl team

[@anfeariontach]

charmander, bulbasaur, squirtle, mewto, articuno, zapdos

[@scarfaceblue5330]

I like your team very much. I always used Magneton as an Electric Pokemon in this game. If I had the option to trade pokemon, Alakazam and Golem would be my way to go, I totally agree to the point that Nidoking isnt that great as it looks on the paper + you have 2 poison types with a psychic weakness. Instead of Chansey i would use Snorlax, because he hast more than enoug bulk to tank Psychic in Sabrinas Gym and use amnesia, potions for healing up and he can learn Shadow ball (its physical in this game) and he has the damage to 1 shot the glas canons.

[@Love_is_God365]

Belly drum on a snorlax will squash all the elite fours!! Agree?? Coz snorlax has good attach and spl defence!! Belly drum+hyper potion and blast your opponent using normal moves

[@DFuegoH]

That strat wouldn't work against Bruno because the fighting types would take more than half of Snorlax's health if they don't one shot him due to the 15 level gap, so he can't set up belly drum. The same goes for Lance's dragon types. But you don't have to worry because that belly drum strat you described is part of another best team that I still have to make a video for!

[@Love_is_God365]

@@DFuegoH agreed brother🔥

[@IVannaTinkle-g6r]

Charizard has the strongest special attack Blastoise has the best defense and Venusaur has the best attack just based on stats and no one ever talks about this

[@barrywhite2954]

Can you list the move sets you use with each Pokémon. Thank you!!!

[@DFuegoH]

Hi sorry for the late reply. Please check my pinned comment for movesets

[@qpGus]

Venusaur ( sweep first 2 gyms) Dragonite Gengar Alakazam Nidoking Arcanine or Jolteon

[@TheBrumbas49]

Really love your team. Was thinking to add a flyer but I wanna hear what you would recumbent between zaptos or aerydactyl ?

[@DFuegoH]

Zaptos is definitely the stronger of the two, but he's a legendary and the electric typing by itself is not that strong in this game. Aerodactyl's rock typing would allow him to play a defensive role, but I think replacing any other member on the team with him would ruin the team's chemistry. Honestly I'd just pick whichever one you prefer.

[@Peepipoopoo]

@@DFuegoH how about rhydon rather than golem?

[@Dqv_i]

Rate my team: Blastoise Alakazam Hitmonlee Ninetales Rhydon Exggecutor

[@seve.]

is there any good alternative for chansey? (snorlax?)

[@DFuegoH]

Yeah Snorlax is not a bad alternative. He can spam rest instead of softboiled while toxic stalling, though since Chansey is better at tanking special attacks, that strategy is more risky

[@Deathtothempla360]

Mine was Venusaur solar beam leech seed toxic petal dance Arcanine flare blitz fire blast crunch super power snorlax body slam ice punch fire punch brick break Nidoking earthquake ice beam thunderbolt poison jab Dragonite dragon dance dragon rage aquajet hyper beam Starmie scald psychic ice beam thunderbolt

[@TheGuma09]

looks fun, but i would appreciate one without trade evolutions )

[@lexieaeterna7763]

GOLEM IS ONLY AN OPTION IF YOU HAVE FRIENDS....OR HAVE ENOUGH MONEY FOR A SECONDARY CONSOLE...OR IF YOURE PLAYING ON EMULATOR

[@DFuegoH]

Wanna be friends?

[@lexieaeterna7763]

@@DFuegoH 😍😍😍😍😭😭😭😭😂😂😂😂😂

[@lukfidel7427]

i rather have stun spore on venusaur since it sticks throughout the battle even if the pokemon is switched and it cuts their speed

[@DFuegoH]

I had Magneton learn thunder wave for that purpose!

[@TheWizard856]

Slammed leaf green with Mankey, Blastoise, Ferrow, Sandslash, Jolteon, and Ninetails.

[@chrisbrown2731]

The reason why the best teams don’t include half of these Pokémon is because the entire point is to make the team accessible REGARDLESS of which version you play and without trading.

[@DFuegoH]

Read my pinned comment

[@azzurrox]

Currently Venusaur Gyarados Ninetails Snorlax Raichu Pidgeot 😢

[@bryce_ernst]

Ayeee I need ideas for charizard as the starter

[@DFuegoH]

It's on my bucketlist of vids!

[@DARTHESE]

What are the movesets?

[@pislik814]

Can you write down which movements each Pokemon has ?

[@wonderemporium6094]

Lapras, machamp, and Nidoking alone stomp this team

[@DFuegoH]

A three-member team huh? I'll take note of it for a potential video 🔥

[@Ghosting_Edit]

Hi also I have a question

[@alizkuzuto6359]

Chansey? Dude just teach shadow ball to snorlax and ez

[@pokebassist275]

My team for fire red is Venusaur Arcanine Poliwrath Dragonite Scizor Jolteon

[@MarvelCollector-64]

My Kanye Team is Blastiose Pigeot Victreebel Rapidash or Flareon Nidoking Machamp

[@MonkersPuff]

I was on board until you stared using trade evolutions

[@NINJAxSXA1DOR]

My team is Venusaur,Nidoking,Articuno,Alakazam,Lapras,Snorlax

[@Alex-mq6qi]

Bulbasaur is not the only Grass type you have access to before Misty, you can have either Oddish or Bellsprout depending on your version Also Paras but it fucking sucks

[@DFuegoH]

My bad! I forgot to clarify that I do not use version exclusives on my team. I also did not know Paras is a grass type because of how ass his performance was the first time I played fr/lg using him haha

[@alexisdipoalo9443]

I do kinda feel this team is invalid as you have trade evolutions and most if not all non-letsplayers aren't going to get those in play through due not being able to physically do it or ( if on emulator) not knowing how. I know the team still did well but the fact 99% of people who see this video couldn't get this team sadly has to be a point against it

[@DFuegoH]

If I may ask, where do you play? Still on the gameboy? If you use a smartphone or a computer, you can very easily access trade evolutions. I only use trade evolutions on gen 3 teams for that reason. It is a lot more complicated for gens 4 and up which is why when I make teams for those games, trade evolutions are out of the question. Edit: okay you said most emulators do not know how. So be it, I'll make another video teaching you guys how to do it. It's very doable trust me.

[@alexisdipoalo9443]

@@DFuegoH you answered yourself in the eidt but to answer the 1st question mostly physcial carts outside of gen 6-7-8 as my gens 5 and early carts were destroyed in a fire but yeah... most people don't know how to get trading working i've asked around when i felt like using steelix in a crystal run cause i wanted an actual steel type in a gen 2 run for once ( and i use scizor enough in competive battles lol )

[@cynthiavillarreal7312]

Yes I have a blast oise onix maroaq and dhero

[@Tukemuth]

How can you get to One Island (where you unlock trading) so early in the game?

[@DFuegoH]

The kind of trading you're describing only refers to trading between fr/lg and a game from the Hoenn region. Trading between copies of the same game is unlocked as soon as you can access a pokecenter.

[@Tukemuth]

@@DFuegoH I tried it and you're right! I always traded with Emerald and never knew you can trade between fr and lg so early. Thanks

[@thomassteger2503]

Most people are running on budget teams that don't require trading.... Find a team that is best from bare bones. If we are trading, then I'll just use all three starters. DUBBS

[@DFuegoH]

Stay tuned 😉
