Okay, I've had this idea in my head for quite a while now, and it's the idea of raising a team of Pokemon that have all got King in their name. This brought up this list:
Slowking
Nidoking
Kingdra
Kingler
Seaking
Slaking
Clearly, this is not the most Godly team in the world. I could centre it around Rain Dance, but it's not like it does me a favour considering the fact that the only Pokemon that gain a boost from it would be Seaking (yay) and Kingdra. All Water moves would be boosted, but that's not a reason to use Rain Dance for that purpose, no?
So, I did another list, loosening it up a little to include Pokemon that merely allude to royalty and I drew up this list:
Slowking
Nidoking
Kingdra
Empoleon (Emperor
)
Kingler
Nidoqueen - (queen = female monarch. Really, you didn't know that?
)
Any of the Regis (Regi = latin for King)
Seaking
Slaking
Vespiquen (sort of queen...pushing it, I know)
Wailord (lord?)
So, I ask this of you people: I need your help in deciding which six Pokemon would be best to bring out a Royal Team.
The Pokemon I would rather like to be in there:
Slaking - Hard hitter, especially with Choice Band.
Kingdra - Works well even without the rain.
Regice - Good SpSponge, and I've already trained one which is useful.
Wailord - Scarf Water Spout? Might be a good one...
Nidoking - For the nostalgia of it being Team Midnight's EC winner. Memories...;.;
As for the others, well...
I really don't want these Pokemon on there:
Nidoqueen - Who needs queen when you have King?
Vespiquen - SRock weakness, and it's pretty crap overall.
Regirock - Without Sandstorm it's awful, and even then it's pretty useless.
Seaking - Without a good movepool / stats / typage, it's awful, and seeing as it has none of these (well, type is good, but without the other two, that lets it down) it has nothing going for it.
So, with those Pokemon taken into consideration, here is the list you can choose from:
Slowking
Nidoking
Kingdra
Empoleon
Kingler
Registeel
Regice
Slaking
Wailord
You can suggest movesets if you like, but a general overview of the six Pokemon would be enough, i.e:
Quote:
You could go with Slowking and Empoleon, because you'd be able to set up Rain Dance with Empoleon, and then fire off Nasty Plot / Rain boosted Surfs with Slowking.
That sort of thing.
Thanks people!
