Pokemon HeartGold/SoulSilver

[Thor]

I still don't have the game (soon, though) but is it hard to find balanced trades like a Vulpix for a Growlithe, or a Machoke for a Haunter?

Yes, it is completely unfair.

I'll give you my growlithe for a vulpix and my haunter for a machoke though, if you PM me and set up a time...

All able to wipe out pokemon with the advantage type.
Most of them have toxic, confuse ray, paralyzing inducing attacks as well.

Bronzong or Metagross would rape that team up the ass.

I always try to make a team with a lot of different types.
and I try to get Pokemon with two types.

Yeah I'm not familiar with the new ones so my original silver strategy might have some holes.

That's not a very good team but it would be great for trolling

Psychic sweepers would rape your teams tight bumhole

That's understandable, but even back when I was a kid I used to make teams with varied Pokemon.
From the poisons you have I'd say Crobat is the best, followed by Weezing/Muk

You should use the Pokemon which you like best though, after all it's a game and In-game It can't hurt much.
But having a team with a common weakness is quite difficult to use successfully in competitive battles.

Using the right status effect along with the right Pokemon can actually work quite well, even if you're not doing it just to troll people
I had a Shuckle with Rest,Dig,Toxic and Sandstorm.
Dig is a two turn move allowing Bad poison to take effect twice while dodging one attack, sandstorm will also chip some health away from the opponent and boost you sp.Def 1.5 times, and rest removes all status effects on Shuckle and will heal him as well so you can kill your opponent in your sleep.

Too bad Paralyze and Poison don't go hand in hand with each other, but confusion and parallelization will.
A Togekiss with Airslash (30% chance of flinch) a paralyzation move, confusing move and Serene Grace ability (doubles secondary effects like flinching) can be devastating.
Blissey can do this too, but with Rockslide instead of Airslash, and perhaps thunder instead of thunderwave if you're feeling lucky.

Damn, I feel so nerd right now.

I would be weary of using dig to stall because earthquake, an extremely common and powerful move, does double damage and always hits if you're underground, and hits your slightly weaker normal defense.

Also, this guy would be REALLY annoying if you already had Stealth Rock out when you sent him out... I might need to train up a good troll shuckle

Yeah, you have to watch out for earthquake, so it takes a little bit of prediction.
The main reason it has dig is to do at least a little bit of damage while stalling for time.

[Asshatclock]

I did some research on those two pokemon you mentioned, and they are no match for my typhlosion, so my team is still pretty good to stall time.

Also is catching a chansey still batshit insane difficult ? since having a blissey would be perfect.

Did you notice that brozong has an ability that makes it take half damage from fire, and they almost always have earthquake? (fire is weak to ground)

Actually Bronzong can have the Heatproof ability, which halves the power of fire attacks, And now you're assuming that Thyplosion will be alive until Bronzong/Metang make their entrance.

Edit: oh Thor beat me to it by 5 hours.

Haha, No not at all, I got 6 Lucky eggs on two games and it didn't take me more time to gather them than one hour, even though the chance of them carrying lucky egg is 5%
I used a Pokemon with Compound Eyes yo increase that 5% into something like 25%.

You have to wait until they swarm in route 13, then the chance of meeting one becomes about 30% instead of 1%

[Asshatclock]

well who wants a bronzong anyway it looks gay and stupid.

[Slash]

That's not really the point, there are also alternatives to Bronzong like Torterra and Rhyphor, who are neat and are more common.

[Thor]

People only use him because he has really good stats, so basically what I'm saying is douchebags want him

[KeyClock]

so only douchebags want pokemon with good stats?

[FLOUNDERMAN_CLOCK]

Bronzong is sort of cool but Bronzor is stupid.

[Asshatclock]

so only douchebags want pokemon with good stats?

Yes.

[Thor]

so only douchebags want pokemon with good stats?

If that's your only consideration when making a team, yes

[AnkhClock]

Gaddam Stantler's are a bitch to capture, it killed four of my pokemon and went through three pokeballs and two greatballs. Also my Magikarp evolved into a Gyarados, then I went back to Goldenrod and had it nicknamed "Magikarp."

IT WILL ALWAYS BE MY MAGIKARP!

Yes man that's how I used to do it when I played pokemon. Paralysis, sleep, confusion and toxic. I liked all the cheese moves like guillotine as well.
