>>43789465>Nice Sunflora and Lanturn.>Donphan and Ursaring are such underrated treasures along Granbull it's refreshing to see someone with actual taste.Thanks, I try to theme/mimic my type spread after Blue GSC team(my all time favorite trainer) but using new pokemon introduced in the gen i'm playing.
Also, I was actually surprised how good Sunflora was. Thought her terrible speed stat was gonna be an in issue for in-game use, but mega/giga-drain made up for that drawback quite well.
>>43789478>The only reason people don't use Donphan more often in Johto playthroughs is because you get it so late in the game that it's barely worth usingI'm the poster who posted the team with Donpahn on it, and the entire reason why I got Donpan was because of its late gameness lol, I viewed that as a benefit. Well, a benefit for how I play pokemon games which is that I don't do any wild pokemon grinding, I only battle trainers.
And with how terribly designed HGSS is, its just not feasible(or very limiting for team selection) to run a 6 pokemon team and be at adequate levels for the E4. The exp spread is just too little in HGSS, honestly its worst than GSC. Like, when I got to the e4, all my pokemon were level 38, with my Noctowl being 39, if I ran a 6th, I would've been around 35-36. So as you see, Donphan coming in at level 33 on victory road is a life saver because with just a couple rare candies found by just going thru the game, he can quickly be boosted to level 38 without any grinding.
