The Best Pokemon Team in Gen 2: Johto (Gold, Silver, Crystal)

[@pokerebels]

What do YOU think? Did we get this team right or do you have your own team??? Tell us in the comments!!!

[@RedFireYGODL]

You probably over leveling because you didn't use Geodude/Golem a female one to be good counter to favorite gym leader in gen 2 Whitney 2 can play the roll out have and mine is better because it's stab Rip to all the Team rocket Zubat/Golbat that got destroyed by this strat by the way Geodude line can destroy the 4early Gym if your following the normal route technically The Jasmine gym to but be careful with Steelix I just Use Alakazam to sweep Jasmine and the to last gym can also be sweep by Alakazam wit elemental punch you don't even need to run recover I just run all the elemental punches the other team members is mostly for Hm usage and preparation for Red or for capturing the roaming Legendary

[@TWitWoW]

I thought your gen 1 team was absolutely perfect, but not using geodude in gen 2 is just inexplicable lol I'll also say, I think gen 2 is a rare instance where ditching your starter is actually optimal. Geodude should be your real starter. I actually like to run through the beginning of the game with Geodude and Butterfree before adding Abra, but Caterpie isn't available in Crystal so I'd say roll with Geodude + Spearow instead for the earlygame. Chikorita is convenient because it takes out water and rock/ground types and you don't have to worry about not being able to get Mareep in Crystal, but a Bellsprout is...passable. Abra breaks the rest of the game basically, but I also like to add MUSCLE the Machop from the in-game trade to make Whitney even more trivial. I do think Lanturn is the best in-game water type because of its electric dual typing, so you definitely nailed that. So something like Golem, Fearow, Meganium, Alakazam/Jynx, Machamp, Lanturn would be the best team imo probably. If you can't do trade evos I still think Machoke and Kadabra are perfectly fine, although part of me wants to keep Graveler til you get the Earthquake TM, then swap it out for a Nidoran♂ and train that up in Victory Road so you can have a STAB EQ Nidoking for the E4. But that seems like a lot of investment when you literally already have a high leveled Graveler at that point lol.

Poliwrath in this version is a great choice with dynamic punch punch

[@matthewkuscienko4616]

There were definitely a few picks I wasn't expecting, such as Crobat and Lanturn (I never realized Feraligatr doesn't get waterfall in gen2, that feels so weird), but the Alakazam, Feraligatr and Snorlax are all pretty hard to go wrong with. Honestly, Gator and Alakazam are kind of a dynamic duo that can handle much of what the game throws at you pretty easily, and anyone who knows anything about gen2 knows Snorlax needs no introduction

[@pokerebels]

that part - it's so true and surprising. The waterfall REALLY got me frustrated when I found out

[@matthewkuscienko4616]

@@pokerebels I felt similarly when I played gen4 for the first time and found out that Palkia couldn't learn waterfall, either. But it's more surprising, I think, that Feraligatr can't get it in gen2 because most people associate it with that move

[@sorachi295]

Waterstones and other elemental stones are available before you head to Kanto. There’s Fisherman Tully in Route 42 who will call you occasionally to tell you that he has an item to give you and it’s a waterstone. The rest of the elemental stones are also given by other trainers in different routes in Johto, you just need to take their contact number.

[@pokerebels]

so take down everyone's number?? got it

[@BCc249]

​@@pokerebels u can get the water stone from Tully the fisher by the water/entrance to Mt mortar, fire stone from Allan the schoolboy on route 37 or 36(near the national park and the intersection of the routes were u get suddowoodo), lightning stone from Gina the picniker on route 38 around the northern part of the route, leaf stone from the picniker just southwest from the day care on route 34, and the Sunstone from winning the bug catching contest in the national park.

[@bosspoke]

If only going for gen 2 mon's, and without using version restricted mon's, then this would be my team: 1. Feraligatr or Typhlosion (I DO NOT like chikorita line) 2. Crobat 3. Heracross 4. Espeon 5. Sudowoodo or Miltank 6. Lanturn (Regardless of starter pick) I love feraligatr but Typhlosion would also be nice. Crobat gives a strong flyer. Heracross is a strong bug/fighter. Espeon serves as my go to psychic. I think Sudowoodo is better as a rock user/physical wall but Miltank could also be good. Lanturn gives electric attacks and helps covering water HM's. The only problem is that we have 2 hapiness evolution, which means we may need to prioritize evolving Eevee first before Golbat using haircuts, grooming, vitamins.

[@pokerebels]

oooo that's a solid team

[@bosspoke]

@@pokerebels I do think it is stupid that this game has THREE water HM's that you need more or less for the game, where 1 of them is bad in combat and the other is just a worse version of Surf. They could have made it so you need a key item for whirlpool, and atleast give waterfall some unqiue combat ability to set it apart from Surf if keeping it as an HM. Also some water mon's can't learn all 3. As it is, you kinda need 2 water pokemon to cover them all, or be stuck with a bad movepool on one water mon. It is bad design in my opinion... Surf is good as HM since it's your go to damage move too, but the other 2 are completely unecessary in combat.

[@Heatseeker872591]

Feraligatr is definatley my fav out the 3 starters. He reminds me of Godzilla from the 98 movie. Id have his move set as surf, rain dance, ice punch and earthquake. Id have the red gyarados as my 2bd water type for waterfall and whirlpool, maybe dragon breath as 3rd attack and 4th am not sure For the 3rd id have a strong fighting type. The female machop you can use against whitneys miltank and i would use this for the moves strength and rock smash, the other 2 moves im not sure cross chop and one of the elemental punches such as thunderpunch 4th id have maybe a strong electric type like mareep who will become ampharos, i can use this for the hm flash, with a strong thunderpunch, thunderwave, 4th slot ? 5th for a flier id probably go fearow or pidgeot 6th a strong psychic like the kadabra thats in the video with psybeam(more pp than psychic) recover, fire punch, ice punch

[@pokerebels]

This is such a great team!

[@DubCmusicTV]

Ampharos, Kadabra, Feraligatr can take the whole E4 and Lance.

[@bosspoke]

Hmm so the reason to go for Kadabra over Espeon is the movepool? Since Espeon is better at all stats, but doesn't have access to elemental punches. He does have bite atleast.

[@nWoreviewer]

I love Totodile, but i think Cyndaquil is the best starter choice in GSC. That said, i think Totodile is the best option in HGSS because of the physical special split.

[@jayoutdoors1534]

The fire starter is the best choice.

[@pokerebels]

you think cyndaquil is the way to go??

[@DubCmusicTV]

Totodile is the best Pokémon but if you want variability, then Cyndaquil because there is no fire Pokémon. Only Magmar, Growlithe/Vulpix, and Ponytail at the end. So many water options in Quagsire, Lanturn, Slowbro, Gyarados, Lapras, and possibly Golduck

[@chardanz6535]

No.. typhlosion looks so dumb compared to Charizard.. totodile is correct choice

[@gymleaderdj9102]

[@GLamb3895]

It bothers me to double up a type in my playthroughs 😅 but totodile catch zubat is always the move

[@pokerebels]

that's a fair point - I definitely get you

[@Twisted_Logic]

I just finished a playthrough of Crystal. Same rules (I always play set + no items in battle + no over-leveling). My team was: - Jumpluff - Qwilfish - Granbull - Nidoking - Miltank - Shuckle Used Totodile for the first 2 gyms and kept him on the bench for Cut and Whirlpool. Beat the E4 at L45, Red at L60. Also beat the gym leader castle in Pokemon Stadium 2 with the team

[@pokerebels]

that sounds epic! glad it worked well and nice team

[@M3rtyville]

With Fearow I may disagree since you can get the gift Spearow who levels up insanely quick and gets Drill Peck. Doesn't rely on Friendship to get good. So for in-game I think Fearow surpasses Crobat. I prefer Fury Cutter against Whitney since you don't rely on getting hit at all to boost your move. Otherwise I agree with the choices. Johto may have limited amounts of new Pokemon to select for the ingame run, but the selection of good Pokemon is surprisingly good for back then. I mean you know you screwed if Dialga, Giratina and Palkia in Sinnoh are barely useful for an ingame run and you need Infernape, Staraptor and Bidoof to not feel like everything you have is bad.

[@pokerebels]

that's solid!

[@DanielArturo-r8v]

I mean Fearow will get the job done for sure and it's easy to get and to level up etc BUT in a 6 slot team where only one can fly you are getting Crobat over Fearow anytime... Crobat is just superior.

[@RedFireYGODL]

Here's a tip on how to battle the first gym at exactly level 8 level cap first level up Totodile to 7 to learn rage then battle the rival I didn't equip the berry but I recommend equip it after the battle you should be level 8 next is to capture a Geodude a female is recommended for you know who in the 3rd gym also try to avoid or run to grass encounter fighting the random trainers is fine your Geodude will be level 7or8 use it to beat all the trainer on the first gym it should reach leve l11 if you are not playing the level cap run A level 11Geodude can destroy Falkner with Rock throw but if your battling the gym leader with level cap rule the level 8Totodile Equip with berry will do just fine with Rage see you don't need to over level you just need to properly Annalise your starter and build a team that can Support them and also remember sometimes the best Pokemon in the game is not the best option for a best team maybe I'm just good at level managing since since I entered the league with all my Pokemon at level 35 to 40 and you will know that you build not best team if one of your Pokemon is above level 40 when you reach the league and also if you do The Karen test if you need more than one Pokemon to beat her Umbreon its not a best team since one of the qualifications of the best team is you should be able 😁 to beat the trainer Pokemon 1v1

[@pokerebels]

yessss you did the research! there are many ways to go about this

[@josephpasquarella2123]

My craziest lineup was typhlosion, Dragonite, tyrannitar, Alakazam, Lugia, Articuno

[@bigboyrox7]

For the remakes, heart gold. Gyrados is the better pick. The physical special aplit has happened, making physical waterfall a viable attack. Gyrados gets coverage in ice fang plus crunch ... Pick a forth move for sweeps

I went with typhlosion that i replaced with my boy Entei later on, crobat, steelix,slowbro,dragonair that evolved post game and finally the most important of all Scizor. I picked all of them to be extra cautious and save pp. However to be honest i needed only 2, one to tank (slowbro) and drop the opponent accuracy with flash and scizor to set up and sweep. Once scizor has done his set up, nothing, even Red can't stop him. This is only an in-game team. No player will let you drop accuracy and max set up to be swept. The hardest part is to steal a metal coat from a magnemite

This team is garbage, especially sacc'ing your main down with HM's. Slaves. Crabbly/kinglar slaves all your mentions. - Feraligtr - Fearow (you sub this out in the Aerodactyl Chancy trade in Kanto) - Nidoking,. Optional but grind a larvitar into tyranitar as substitute. - Electabuzz, soft reset on egg hatches from the caretaker, this will probably be your bread and butter of the team. Thunderbolt and all 3 elemental punch access. -Espeon. - Tauros. This thing has insane physical attack an good speed, you drop it when you get access to snorlax.

My brother in Christ how you didn’t use the free shiny gyarados is baffling. Jk its a good team

[@pokerebels]

haha too easy

[@davidpetch2649]

I would of picked Crobat not a zubat

[@pokerebels]

that's fair

[@Amelia4111]

IT'S WOULD HAVE, NOT WOULD OF! *STOP USING THE WRONG WORD!*

[@jmw9904]

Ursaring is a leaner meaner Snorlax.

[@pokerebels]

😳 I never thought about it that way

[@danielmonachino7165]

Lapras or gyarados were clearly better than lanturn so much for "the best" team

[@FTGxSoJuFoRcEs]

Feraligatr can beat Reds Team solo

[@pokerebels]

he really coulddd

[@FTGxSoJuFoRcEs]

@pokerebels I did it myself, he was my only battle mon and I had a bellsprout, lantern, and lugia for hms. Feraligatr was 93 and wiped Reds team. Ice Punch, Crunch, Earthquake and Waterfall took care of almost anything😝😏

[@michaelcolonello]

Crobat is Zubat

[@danielspain2883]

Kadabra???? why do you keep calling Alakazam kadabra????????????????

[@pokerebels]

whoops 🤦🏽‍♂️ that's an oversight

[@TravisWood-t1m]

Nope you can get them because Pokemon holding them I just watch a video

[@vengaboys5420]

I really fucked up red, easy.

[@pokerebels]

sheesh you were ready

[@uschwitz]

This team kinda sucks, tbh 🙄

[@pokerebels]

What team are you setting up 🤔

[@uschwitz]

@@pokerebels -Typhlosion (Headbutt) -Tauros (Strength) -Kingler (Whirlpool/Surf/Rock Smash) -Gyarados (Waterfall/Surf) -Lugia (Fly) -Espeon (Flash)

[@fkqz]

Why do you keep saying Kadabra when it's obviously Alakazam? Are you just trying to lie to us about cheating to evolve him or are you dumb?
