You have to build a team using Pokémon of a single type... (lemmy.ml)

They can be dual-typed, but at least one of those has to match the type you choose. What type are you choosing, and what's your team look like?

I would have to choose Bug-type, of course. Team composition would be Galvantula, Yanmega, Heracross, Centiskorch, Genesect, and Rabsca. As to why... I just like 'em, lol. I'm not much of a competitive player. What would your team/type be?

I like grass types, I'd go

  • Meowscarada for special coverage (protean is still really good)
  • Gogoat for physical coverage (thing gets a few ground/rock moves)
  • Leavanny for X-Scissor crits and Sticky Web
  • Leafeon for Leaf Blade + Swords Dance sweeps (best eeveelution)
  • Cradily for some serious bulk
  • Lurantis for contrary shenanigans

Meowscarada is probably my favorite of the new starters.

I'm still more than a little disappointed that Lurantis isn't a bug type. Praying mantises are my favorite IRL bugs, and bug type is my favorite pokemon type... And pink is my favorite color! 🥲 I mean, we have Scyther. But Lurantis...

That's a killer team, though. And grass is a close second for favorite types, personally.

I love the design of meowscarada the best, but where the signature moves are concerned, torch song is miles ahead of the other starters and made me glad I picked the fire starter. I mean, it's an already strong move that makes you considerably stronger each time you use it. After a couple of uses, you'll sweep basically anything. Feels overpowered, honestly. Usually you only have a chance of raising an offensive stat or the attack is really weak (like power up punch).
