>>48155908Reposting my ultimate cheapskate team from the last time I saw this thread, where I tried to abuse as many loopholes as I could while still keeping a diverse team spread and without just using 6 objectmons :
>ShedinjaTechincally an unevolving pokemon because it does not evolve from Nincada, it's a byproduct of evolving into Ninjask. I can also cut corners on food because it's not even really alive; it's hollow, floats without moving its wings and doesn't even breathe, so no way it actually needs to eat food. Cost: 300+300 for being a 0 maintanence husk.
>MagnetonAs per the pokedex, Magnemite can subsist by drawing electricity from electricity pylons, so i'm sure no one is going to notice if we siphon some energy from the power lines every now and then. Cost: 300+300 for being an objectmon that can eat for free in any developed area.
>TropiusAn obvious pick, as it's a pokemon that can generate food. Although I do still need to feed it in order to get that food back, I can consider the berries it grows as supplimentary to offset the minimal food costs for everything else on my team, as this is the only one I actually need to feed. Plus, I can use it as easy travel. Cost: 300+500+500 for being a non-evolving Grass/Flying mon.
>HypnoEats dreams, enough said. Dreams are free and with 6 pokemon + myself there's enough to go around. Cost: 300+700 for being a fully evolved dream devourer.
>GigalithFun fact; Gigalith are solar powered for some reason, despite living underground where there is absolutely no sunlight. 300+700 for being a fully evolved solar-powered rock monster.
At this point i've only used just over half out of my budget, meaning I have enough saved for almost any pseudo or even an Ultra Beast if I wanted, depite having 5 pretty decent picks already; but I still need a water type to cross rivers and shit, so i'm taking
>Whiscash300+700 for a fish that eats actual garbage.
Total cost: Only 5,500, with a remaining budget of 2,500.
