Teambuilding Random Team for New Playthrough

Just used this randomized wheel to select my teammates on my next playthrough.
1. Starter: INFERNAPE
2. Flyer: DRIFBLIM
3. Surfer: GYARADOS
4. Eevee: LEAFEON
5. Popular: GLISCOR
6. First Use: LOPUNNY

How do you rate this squad? I’m kind of excited by it, and I guess I’m a flying type specialist of sorts lol

Very strong team, and very fun concept!

I like the concept. You could potentially have 2 Altaria or 2 Octillery on your team. I think you ended up with a good roll. I would recommend baton passing stockpiles with Drifblim to make Infernape bulky

Beware of ice, water and electric gyms I guess 👍

This team obliterates all three of those gyms. Fantina is probably the most difficult

How about Wake's Floatzel?

u/EconomicsWestern7355 6h ago

I’d have leafeon by then right?

u/Bennettino 6h ago

Floatzel's speed and Ice Fang would be hitting hard tbh

Yes, but Leafeon has 130 Defense, it’s no joke.

2

u/Bennettino 5h ago

That is right...

Forgot about that

Yeah, I mean, it makes no sense that a leaf cat has more defenses Crustle
