>>51480987I hate this team. It completely ruined Lance's vibe and the theme his team was going for. Salamence is fine, and arguably fits him very well. But Garchomp shouldn't be there. It's the ace of the Champion of the previous game of the same Gen, and Lance using it as a normal member of his team just feels tacky. Also, there's nothing "draconic" about Garchomp. Lance is a dragon trainer, not a Dragon-TYPE trainer. You can't just stick any random Dragon-Type on his team and call it a day. Same applies to Altaria, except it's girly and shouldn't be anywhere near Lance.
Swablu appears in Swarms on Route 45, directly below Blackthorn, so it would only make sense for Clair to use it in her rematch team, right? WRONG. The stupid fuckers at GF decided to make Dragonite her ace for some fucking unknown reason, and give her a Charizard and Aerodactyl, so now there's nothing except the Kingdra, which lost her ace status, to diffrentiate them. And you know what's the kicker? Clair is supposed to be the one who's the Dragon-Type trainer. She should only be using Dragon-Types, which she did before her rematch, but they decided to change that. What the fuck were they thinking? Gen 3 and 4 added a shit ton of Dragon-Types for them to play around with, and they completely fucked it up. Here's my proposal for Lance and Clair's rematch teams:
Clair
>Altaria>Dragonair>Dragonite>Garchomp>Flygon>KingdraLance
>Salamence>Gyarados>Steelix>Tyranitar>Charizard>Dragonite
