Building a hipster underused pokemon team

Any suggestions
Medicham
Gastrodon
Luxray

Wailord seems to be much more effective as a tank whereas kingdra excels in its balance
wailord looks to be the guy for me
grrr but then again poliwrath's nice balance of defense and attack make it so appealing
decisions decisions

wailord is awful

do not even consider wailord because it's a lot more frail than it looks

poliwrath isn't much better

If you want a wall, vaporeon is the best choice for a water type imo. Rotom-W is also a good water type. Is this a serious competitive team?

i've been meaning to try out a machamp with no-guard for a while

has anyone else tried it out? because i got excited when someone drew machamp as star platinum from jojo's bizarre adventure

No, he's mentioned before he doesn't battle much online.

Alright, I don't pay attention much to this thread, so I forgot. Either way, wailord is an awful choice, but Poliwrath is worth considering as a bulky attacker if you aren't going to use this party as a serious team. I like using the set Waterfall/Rock Slide/Focus Punch/Substitute, and an adamant nature is probably your best bet. Still, when considering party members, you sometimes need to know what your team is as a whole. Offensive? Defensive? Balanced? Also, you want to have a close amount of physical and special pokemon so that you don't get creamed or walled often. Have you listed your whole team yet? Again, I miss a lot on this thread...

also even if you're not playing seriously, reading up on smogon articles is still a good idea, even if you don't get the whole EV/IV thing

Huh, I just had the most confusing random 3v3 battle I've ever had, I was 100% going to lose once Garchomp comes out...but he spammed Swords Dance and Cradily 3 shotted it...

I don't understand why he practically let me win with that, he seemed to know what he was doing, I feel like it had a Choice Scarf and he forgot.

LOL SCARF WITH STATUS MOVES

Ik, it's that or he's really dumb lol, well if it is that he clearly had no idea what he was doing anyways.

Anyways I just finished my team, I still need to get another Leftovers though and a Life Orb.

Yea I know, not going to be hard, just annoying.

Also Phantom Force is like the bane of Aegislash, no matter what you do, it's going to take a stuff ton of damage.

other than trick/switcheroo of course

Either way, I tried to use a Choice Scarf Shroomish with spore on a simulator. The idea was cool, since it could outspeed any non-choiced pokemon with a 100% accurate sleeping move and then switch to a counter, but it wasn't as effective as it seemed.

Isn't Phantom Force just a nerfed version of Giratina's Shadow Force?
