>>51457379I usually follow this pattern:
- The pokemon I want to play. Decided before starting a new game
- A mixed wall
- A second defensive backbone to cover the mixed wall's type weaknesses
- A fast and strong breaker with good STABs & coverage (bonus points if U-turn/Volt switch
- A 2nd offensive mon with a bit of support abilities if possible
- The free slot for if I find a pokemon randomly and decide that I want to play it
picrel is my current team for Blaze Black 2 Redux, which follows the pattern.
- I wanted to play Clefable before starting
- I found mandibuzz in an overworld encounter and wanted to play it. She's my mixed wall with a good dual typing, and also has access to U-turn
- Swampert is my 2nd defensive backbone and covers the Electric and Rock weakness of Mandibuzz + I need Surf/Waterfall
- Archeops is my fast & strong breaker + has access to U-turn
- I found a shiny budew and figured she would work as my 2nd attacker + she comes with spikes and tspikes for support
- For the free slot, I did the Victini event and figured I would do a lil bit of soft resetting to get a shiny Victini
