I'm about to start another game, wondering if I should mix up my typical team.

Pic related is my typical RB team, they're all pretty self explanatory picks.

Dugtrio because you can catch early at lvl 30+.

Hitmonchan because Firepunch, Icepunch, Lighteningpunch.

Pic related is my typical Y team. Dugtrio and Hitmonchan for the same reasons as >>32768752

Pikachu is a questionable choice over Zapdos, but novelty.

and it would make more sense to capture Articuno vs training Blastoise, but I'd rather have a balanced team early in the game.

I'd say go with

>Venusaur
Bulky af
>Arcanine
Good attacker
>Pidgeot
For Fly
>Gyarados
Self explanatory
>Snorlax
See above
>Rhydon
Is underrated

This is a pretty standard team but it's fun.

This is literally all you need to waltz through RBY with zero effort. Grinding entire Pokemon teams is a slow way to complete Pokemon games when you can dump your entire battle experience into one Pokemon and overlevel it to the point it oneshots almost everything it comes across, provided it has decent base speed to outspeed everything and good offensive movepool (BoltQuakeBeam in Nidoking's case).

If you want some semblance of challenge then go for a maximum pokedex completion before Champion fight. I'm doing such a run right now, took 10 hours to get to Fuschia Safari Zone using Venusaur, Dugtrio and Hypno as my combat Pokemon + dumping extra experience into a bunch of misc mons to evolve them. Still have only 32 out of around 120 Pokedex entries I'll have by the time I finish it, provided Safari Zone grind won't make me drop the game. Will finish E4 with Dragonite (need to grind the sob from 20 to 55) + legendary birds (obtained at 50).

>Venusaur
Cool
>Arcanine
So wait until second half of game?
>Pidgeot
All the legendary birds are lvl 50, fly, and don't have to be trained from a Pidgey.
>Gyarados
Meh
>Snorlax
Are you trolling?
>Rhydon
Again, not until second half of game? I could have a level 40 Dugtrio before I have the opportunity to catch a lvl 30 Rhydon

Krabby is only slave worth having, Surf Strength Cut....

Nidoking why tho?

If I wanted a one Pokémon team tank I would just level my starter to 70 on the way to E4. Why wait half the game to get your main?

Yes. Im telling to build your end game team around these mons. Do whatever the hell you want until you can catch the entire team. Snorlax is a fucking powerhouse and so is Gyarados. The legend burds are ducking pleb tier and the only good one is Zapdos.

What advantage does Nidoking have over the starters?

Is it because Snorlax and Gyrados have a fuckton of HP? I'd rather catch an Articuno than train a Magikarp to lvl 50 any day.

I refuse to beleive anyone can run Hitmonchan with elemental punches until gen IV.
The damage drops so drastically due to its nothing special attack, any sane human would give up or restart with a new moveset.

Venusaur has no moves. Charizard is a Fire type in generation where Fire is one of the worst types. Blastoise is very good, but has to rely on Normal attacks to break through Water types and doesn't evolve as early as Nidoking. It's probably on par overall and the safer option since Nidoking has four weaknesses which are all pretty common and dangerous, so it can get hurt a lot if it fails to oneshot something with the attack in question.
>>32769212
Nidoking isn't used in FRLG because its good moves are difficult to obtain (IB/TB from awful Game Corner grind, Earthquake from final gym) instead of piss easy like in Gen 1 (Thunderbolt from Surge, Ice Beam from Celadon Store Roof, Earthquake from Silph Co).
>>32769240
Use Clefable. It's the next best option after Nidoking and Blastoise.

I don't know much about the technical aspects... Are you saying because Hitmonchan's "special" is low, his elemental attacks do low damage?

I realize that, but he's the Swiss Army Knife Pokémon to me. With any double digit level advantage he still one-shots susceptible opponents.

Wigglytuff
Victreebel
Omastar
Jynx
Electrode
Nidoqueen.

Never used them all on the same team, but all are fun.
Electrode needs a bit of handholding, but us fun.
Wigglytuff and nidoqueen might compete for TMs so plan accordingly.
(Wiggly is more fun in gen 2. Elemental punches make everything more fun.)

Even if you don't want to clone TMs AND you've used TBolt/ Icebeam on something that doesn't learn it naturally, this is the gen where Blizzard is 90 accuracy, and almost everything on that list can tank hits easily while OHKOing back with SE hits.

On a butterfree (so weak to fire, electric and ice) it does the same amount of damage if the butterfree has a sp.def nature.

The punches do slightly more without the +sp.def nature

That's with SE and moves with double the power. Any physical move will outdamage the punches easily

Now using the butterfree and hitmonchan with moves he actually uses.

We can see that a x4 resisted brick break deals almost the same damage as the elemental punches. x 4 R E S I S T A N C E

Or instead just use rock slide and ohko it

Mostly shit stats - pic related. Also awful movepool in the first two gens. It's actually usable from Gen 3 onwards, but misses out on elemental punches before physical-special split in Gen 4. It's also outclassed by a whole bunch of other Fighting types.
