>>46813943Doublade, Greninja, Gabite, and Charizard are all cool. Sometimes a normie pick is a normie pick because they're just cool Pokémon. No reason to pretend not to like them. No strong feelings on Heliolisk or Sylveon. Pretty solid team
>>46814623Seconding Gogoat for HM usage (it gets Surf if you want to leave Blastoise's slots open) and also just being a competent fighter in its own right (aside from being slow). Also seconding Pangoro, it's strong and a cool design. Mine was in a playthrough where I picked Froakie though so I didn't have to add a Dark-type to my team for evolution (although it's not much of an inconvenience if you don't already have a Dark-type on your team)
