A chance to talk about my proud team through my journey through Tandor? Here we go!
Electruxo
Moveset: Thunderbolt, Thunder, Surf, Ice Beam
My starter, my ace. I really think that this Pokemon does not get enough love in this forum. (competitive guide for Electruxo when??) Few Pokemon types can withstand both Water and Electric type attacks at the same time and Ice Beam can easily sweep up the rest. Surf, aside from utility value, is also the strongest, most reliable Water move available in Electruxo's movepool. (Hydro pump's acc is too chancy for me) Add that to the walking thunderstorm that is Mega-Electruxo, his free Rain Dance, aside from boosting Surf's power, makes a big fat target a sitting Ducklett against Thunder!
Pajay
Moveset: Flamethrower, Tailwind, Mirror Move, Air Slash
Pajay, or as I sometimes call him, Pajajay, crushes any Grass or Bug Types or Fighting types (have you tried punching a bird?!!) in his way. My resident Fire type Pokemon, he's the fastest on my team, and shares some of that speed with the rest of the team with Tailwind.
Gararewl
Moveset: Iron Head, Iron Claw, Brick Break, Gyro Ball
Uranium's only pure Steel type Pokemon. I caught her as a Baraewl way way back so I could raise her to deal with any strong Nuclear type Pokemon I encountered in the end-game. And the decision paid off beautifully. Gararewl was the only Pokemon that could withstand Gamma-Urayne's overwhelming attacks and eventually won the battle and the day!
Mismagius
Moveset: Power Gem, Psybeam, Trick Room, Shadow Ball
I traditionally always have a Ghost type Pokemon within my ranks for as long as I remember. I originally planned to keep her as Misdreavus and give her an Eviolite to hold but thanks to a bug that plan was scrapped. Aside from using her in typical Fighting and Psychic types, her real value, is Trick Room, which I utilize with great effect to pave the way for my Electruxo's duel with Theo's Archilles. Power Gem is also a real nasty surprise against Pokemon weak to Rock type moves.
Sylveon
Moveset: Double Team, Draining Kiss, Moonblast, Light Screen
My first Eeveelution! No Dragon or Fighting or Dark type may challenge her! She possesses tough defenses from both physical and special ends, and Draining Kiss is such a good move economically. With Double Team, I have used her to take down full teams at a time.
Nucleon
Moveset: Quick Attack, Swift, Mirror Coat, Hyper Voice
For everything else, there's Nucleon. This Pokemon is the ULTIMATE glass cannon. With Quick Attack that allows him to go first, or Swift, which never misses, Nucleon simply sweeps all away as long he gets to make the first move. I used Mirror Coat to beautiful, nasty effect when I let another Nucleon use Half-Life on my Nucleon. Revenge has never been so sweet! Nucleon's ultimate skill, Hyper Voice, shines brightest in Double battles, where both opposing Pokemon go down and go down hard. Nucleon dices with death every time he's sent out. Most of the time, he's the only one left standing.
As for my very first Pokemon team, by rights I didn't have one. I soloed the entire game's worth of fights with just my starter and kept a Haunter around when I just wanted to toy with Fighting type Pokemon. (Charizard and Typhlosion, miss you guys!) Uranium is actually the first time I recruited and raised a balanced team that would make up for each others weaknesses. And I'm fiercely proud of them!
