How to Create the Strongest Pokemon Team

Consider breeding Pokémon. To get the best fighting Pokémon, you’ll probably need to breed to get the egg move, unique value (IV), or nature you want. Pokémon can learn moves from their parents. If both parents have a move that the child can learn as they level up, it will start with that move.

• There are also some special moves called egg moves that Pokémon can only learn by breeding their parents (from Generation 6 – Gen VI onwards) with that move.
• The moves TM (learned from the trainer) and HM (learned from the machine that teaches the hidden move) can only be inherited from the previous game version into Gen VI. These moves can only be inherited from the father.
• Nature can be inherited if the father has the Everstone item. The genetic probability is 50% for the version released before the B/W 2 video game, and is guaranteed to be hereditary from that version onwards.

Know that an individual value (IV or Individual Value) can be inherited. IV is a random hidden value for each stat, ranging from 0 to 31. At level 100, the stat will increase significantly thanks to a unique value, while at lower levels the increase will also increase. lower. This can make a big difference in the strength of a Pokémon, as well as determine what kind of hidden power (Hidden Power) it has. So you’ll probably want a high distinct value, but there are also cases where you want a low distinct value for some stats in your Trick Room squad or a specific number for the price. Separate values in stats affect Hidden Power.

• Hidden Power is a special move that can be learned by almost any Pokémon that changes its type and strength according to its unique value. This can be a useful move against special attacking Pokémon in need of a certain type. There are many calculators online that can help you figure out how specific a value is needed for Hidden Power.
• Three of a Pokémon’s distinct values are randomly inherited from its parents. If either parent has a power item (like Power Bracer, Anklet, Band, Lens, Weight, Belt), the child will inherit the corresponding stat. If both parents have such an item, the child will inherit only one of those stats from the randomly selected parent. The child will then inherit two other random distinct values. From B/W onwards, if a Pokémon has a Destiny Knot item, it will inherit 5 distinct values.

Breed for hidden properties. The Hidden Ability can be inherited if the female Pokémon has it. Male and asexual Pokémon can inherit their hidden properties when bred with Ditto. The female Pokémon has an 80% probability of inheriting the trait to her offspring. This probability does not apply when Ditto is the parent.

Plan clearly so that each Pokémon in the squad has a certain role. Look at the stats and moves of each Pokémon to decide if it’s a good fit for the assigned role. Consider the following roles:

• Physical Sweeper (Pokémon with high attack stats)
• Special Sweeper (Pokémon with high special attack stats)
• Physical Wall (Pokémon with high defense, capable of taking hits)
• Special Wall (Same as Physical Wall, except special defense)
• Lead (Pokémon preemptive or setting field conditions at the beginning of the game)
• Cripler (Pokémon causes status, then switches positions for Sweeper)

Select moves for Pokémon. Make sure the moves you’re going to assign them to are appropriate. Except for some special cases, don’t let Pokémon have two moves of the same type like Surf and Hydro Pump. The reason is because you need to make sure that the Pokémon can defeat as many types of Pokémon as possible. Stats and healing moves are OK (Synthesis, Aromatherapy, Growth and Petal Dance are all Grass-type moves, but only one can be used to attack) like moves like Flamethrower and Overheat, both can be used in a variety of situations.

• An attacking Pokémon should have one or more powerful moves of the same type, as it will gain attack power with this move (known as STAB or attack bonus points of the same type). It should also have a laning move that can hit multiple types in addition to the main target, or else your Pokémon will be defeated when encountering certain types. Some attacking Pokémon can use a powerful stat boost, while other Pokémon can use some support, healing, or transformation move like U-Turn. Priority is also something to keep in mind, as a move with a higher priority will always be cast before a move with a lower priority.
• The tank Pokémon in the squad should be a strong Pokémon with a high HP, which can withstand a lot of damage when you heal and control other Pokémon. It should also have a move like Healing, Taunt, Protect, Substitute or a status move. Aromatherapy or Wish moves that can help teammates are also interesting moves.
• Support Pokémon use status moves to paralyze an opponent’s Pokémon, deal with enemies like a Sweeper that boosts stats, parry pre-emptive attacks, or help your team.

Select strong captain Pokémon. This is the Pokémon you usually send to battle first. Often they are agile enough to block slow moves and other attacks before their opponents can do anything. Sometimes, the captain is a large Pokémon that can launch dangerous attacks multiple times throughout the game. They can launch preemptive attacks like Stealth Rock, Sticky Web, Spikes or Toxic Spikes, set field conditions in favor of weather like, increase the effectiveness of Reflect, Light Screen, etc. Trick Room or Baton Pass with teammates. Usually they also have moves that interfere with the opponent, status or lose stat points, as well as an attack so that they don’t become completely useless when hit by Taunt.

Don’t rely on brute force. Remember that competitive combat is not just about wiping out your opponents but also about strategy and anticipation. Make sure you can set traps (such as Stealth Rock, Spikes, Toxic Spikes). You should also have a stat boost like Swords Dance. While it may not be much since you just want to attack as soon as possible, Swords Dance doubles the attack power of a Pokémon. Even if it’s only a 50% increase, you should give it a try. Use additional effects like Flamethrower and Blizzard to have a chance of causing the target to burn and freeze. Make sure the move you use matches the Pokémon’s stats.

• Example: Using Flamethrower and Blizzard with Pokémon with low special attack stats is not a good idea.
• Remember that many Pokémon are not attack-oriented. These Pokémon will probably be most effective when using a multi-effect status move, as they don’t deal much damage with physical or special attacks.

Check your squad for any weak points. If you find that half of the Pokémon have a weakness for a certain type, you should replace at least one Pokémon. Don’t try to change the combo, as it won’t solve the problem and even waste a line of moves. For example, giving a Water-type Pokémon will not make sense for a Pokémon Gallade using Fire Punch. You need to replace one of the Water-type Pokémon to solve this problem.

Build a squad based on the system. Gym leaders and trainers who love a certain type often build their squad based on a certain type of Pokémon such as: Water, Electric (Electric), Poison, etc. .. However, the lineup of only one system will not be very balanced. Adjust your squad to be ready to battle a variety of Pokémon types. The team should have a Pokémon that can counter most major systems—even the most popular ones.

Select a few basic elemental Pokémon. A balanced lineup can include Fire Pokémon (Fire), Water Pokémon (Water), and Grass Pokémon (Grass). You are always allowed to choose from three starter Pokémon, Fire, Water, and Grass. Example: In Pokémon X/Y, the Grass starter is Chespin, the Fire starter is Fennekin, and the Water starter is Froakie. ^[1] However, regardless of which starter Pokémon you choose, you still have a chance to acquire another “starter” type in the wild or through trade.

• Fire Pokémon counters Grass, Ice (Ice), Bug (Bug) and Steel (Steel) type Pokémon, but is countered by Water, Dragon (Dragon) and Rock (Rock) Pokémon.
• Water Pokémon counters Fire, Earth (Ground) and Rock-type Pokémon, but is countered by Electric, Grass, and Dragon-type Pokémon.
• Grass-type Pokémon counter the Water, Earth, and Rock types, but are countered by the Fire, Poison, Flying, Bug, and Dragon types.

Consider Pokémon of other popular types. It is likely that you will encounter Bug, Flying, Poison, Psychic, and Electric Pokémon at the beginning of the game and throughout the adventure. Not to mention they’re not too strong! In particular, Pokémon Bay can be effective when it is necessary to transport quickly, as well as launch powerful attacks that are difficult to block of the Flying type.

• Electric Pokémon counters Water and Flying Pokémon, but is countered by Grass, Electric, Earth, and Dragon types.
• Flying-type Pokémon counter the Grass, Fighting, and Bug types, but are countered by Electric, Rock, and Ice.
• Bugs counter Grass, Psychic, and Dark (Dark), but are countered by Fire, Flight, and Psychic.
• Poison-type Pokémon counter Grass and Fairy (Fairy), but are countered by Earth, Rock, Psychic, and Steel-type.
• Psychic-type Pokémon are countered by Gladiator, Poison, and Ghost-type, but are countered by Ghost, Shadow, and Steel Pokémon.

Try to use at least one physically strong, quick-recovery Pokémon. The Earth and Rock systems are resistant to many common systems, though they also have weaknesses. Their defense is usually high, which can balance out the weaknesses of some other Pokémon. The Gladiator System counters some physical systems and is “hard to hurt”, but is vulnerable to strong damage from the special attack-oriented system.

• Earth-type Pokémon are countered by Fire, Poison, Electric, Stone, and Steel-types, but are countered by Grass, Flying, and Water-type.
• Rock-type Pokémon are countered by the Ice, Fire, Flying, and Bug-types, but are countered by the Gladiator, Earth, and Steel-type.
• Ice-type Pokémon counter Grass, Earth, Flying, and Dragon, but are countered by Gladiator, Fire, and Steel.
• Fighting Pokémon counters Normal, Ice, Rock, Shadow, and Steel Pokémon, but is countered by the Poison, Flying, Bug, Ghost, Fairy, and Psychic types.

In general, the Normal system should be avoided. Some Normal Pokémon can become extremely powerful, but they don’t give you a significant advantage over other types. Normal-type Pokémon do not counter any other types, but they are countered by Gladiator, Ghost, Rock, and Steel. The advantage of Normal Pokémon is that they are flexible: They can learn moves from a TM machine from many different systems.

Choose a less common system for a special effect. Shadows, Dragons, Ghosts, and Fairies are all relatively rare in the Pokémon world, but these types can become the most powerful warriors when used in conjunction with stronger and more common teammates.

• Shadow-type Pokémon (Dark) counters Ghost (Ghost) and Psychic (Psychic), but is countered by Fighting (Fighting), Fairy (Fairy) and Bug (Bug) Pokémon.
• Dragon-type Pokémon that counter other Dragon-types, but are countered by their own, Ice and Fairy types.
• Ghost type Pokémon (Ghost) counters Ghost and Psychic types, but is countered by Shadow and Psychic types.
• Fairy-type counters Dragon, Gladiator, and Shadow, but is countered by Poison and Steel. They are also countered by Fairies and Fire.
• Steel-type Pokémon (Steel) counters Ice, Fairy, and Stone Pokémon, but is countered by Water, Fire, and Steel. ^[2]

Train Pokémon through battles. This is a much more effective way to increase the happiness and strength of a Pokémon than if you were to use rare candies to level up quickly. If you want to compete, make sure all your Pokémon are trained to level 100. Otherwise, they’ll be at a huge disadvantage.

Understand and use EV (effort value). This is the point your Pokémon gets for defeating another Pokémon in a trainer or wild match. EVs are essential in training strong Pokémon. Pokémon will have different EVs, so you should make sure you only train with Pokémon that provide the correct EV rather than just random. Note that you won’t receive EVs in the game version match with your friends or at the Battle Tower/Battle Subway location. Take a look at this list of Pokémon and pay attention to the EVs: http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/List_of_Pok%C3%A9mon_by_effort_value_yield

• You can have a maximum of 255 EVs per stat, and a total of 510 EVs across all stats. For every 4 EV points in a stat, 1 stat point is obtained at level 100. That means the maximum number of EVs that can be used to increase a Pokémon’s stats is 508. So don’t use 255 EVs. on one stat, which should only be used 252. Accordingly, you’ll have an extra 4 EVs that can be used to increase another stat by one point.
• Maximizing the EV of a Pokémon’s most important stat is usually a good practice. However, in certain cases, you can use less – like your Pokémon only needing a moderate Speed stat to be faster than most enemies.
• Find out which Pokémon you want to increase, which Pokémon you need to fight, and how much to get that EV. Make sure you keep a progress log. Consider saving the metrics to a spreadsheet so you don’t lose them. ^[3]

Use vitamins to train EVs better. Buy lots of vitamins (such as Protein, Carbos) for Pokémon and use them before training EVs. Each vitamin that you give to a Pokémon will give you a 10 EV increase in a certain stat. Vitamins can only be used for the first 100 EVs.

• If you have 100 EVs or more, vitamins won’t work. For example, Carbos gives a Pokémon 10 Speed EV (effort value for speed). If you use 10 Carbos that didn’t have Speed EV before, the Pokémon will gain 100 Speed EV. If you already have 10 Speed EVs, you can use 9 Carbos. If you have 99 you can use 1 Carbos and will only get 1 EV.
• Remember to give Pokémon EVs they can use. Example: Don’t give Alakazam Attack EV (attempt value for attack), as they are not physically attacking Pokémon.

Use items to speed up the level up. If you intend to compete online, train EVs in advance using Power Item. Use Experience Share or Macho Brace items at low levels. The Macho Brace item will double the EV you get from each hit Pokémon, but halve the speed when in hand.

• Give Pokérus (a beneficial virus) to a Pokémon if you have this. It also doubles the EV, but doesn’t reduce the speed. After a Pokémon’s Pokérus disappears, don’t worry because it just means it can’t last much longer. The effects of Pokérus last forever. As a result, Pokémon will gain EVs more quickly.
