How do you make your teams?

[boyben10]

Why did you teach thunderbolt to gyarados? Gyarados is a much better physical attacker than special attacker.

It works like a surprise attack against my friends.  They usually know how I build my team, so I like to have one or two tricks in the sleeve.

Glad I could help

I also like to breed my pokemon so they have the best nature and IV set and the best move set. Then I train them for a little then I would start EV training them to max out their power and though it is time consuming it is well worth it in the end. Its good to keep your best team a secret so people dont know your weaknesses and how to beat you.

The EV training is important you´re right there but....
read this--->What about IV & EV points?
IV points = Yes
EV points = NO!

We will not implement EV points because we have thought of a far more awesome system.

I think about me team i try to create a very balnced out team of the strongest most effective types, i think about the types and what pokemon would make that team, the types are the main thing then the pokemon i like the most that falls into those category's. legendarys are amazing i love them but in a team maby ill have one bc i like having a normal not legendarys team bc it makes me feel more accomplished and where i can say thats right i pwned ur mewtwo with my Electivire XD and i know its bc i took the long hard strugle to make these non legendarys , become the strongest thats it is possible.  Ofcorsse im ganna catch as many legendarys as possible bc there great to show off and fun in matches where other people use like all of legendarys so its fun to see the difrent battle style with legendarys. And thats how i build my team

Yes, but the topic wasn't specifically about PU, it's also about the traditional console games of Pokemon.

true... but REGARDing to the console... the truth of EV training is very consummately of time but time does effect efforts. And I do recommend ONLY doing this on DS's games and not on GBA since you don't have Wifi for it. But for me, I've done EV training on GBA and I got it somewhat decent against level 100's poke I face from friends. ^^

Now for me... I practically avoid using legendaries as much as possible when I make my team. Usually in the console, I just get the pokemon I like and check their move pools first so I know what my build would be.
If it was like Net Battle/Shoddy which I'm sure some of you have heard, I apply theme and uses Never Used, Under Used, and balanced pokes. That's all about me.

I go with the Type Balancing team.
Have a nice team of the types/elements I like most. Make sure they are effective against gyms.
I also set up teams of each type. Like have a team of all rock, a team of all fire so on so forth.
