You've NEVER Used THIS Johto Team Before | Pokemon Gold, Silver, and Crystal

I hope you do a “Rivals Best Team” series. It’s where you create teams that can counter every best team that you’ve done. Hope you do something like that in the future; other than that, keep up the great work!!

Well I'll be damned I love using Noctowl and Sandslash on my Johto playthroughs

My weird team would be (no gen 1s): Ariados Sudowoodo Girafarig Piloswine Octillery Hitmontop

You got to add Purugly in the Sinnoh video. Also Shuckle is forgotten too much considering one could get one from a trainer that had the Sneasel Silver stole, making them rivals like how trainers clash their starter Pokémon with the rivals’ starter Pokémon regardless of type advantage.

This is the team I used on a recent playthrough of HeartGold alot of these Pokemon are very rarely used Meganium Xatu Corsola Furret Donphan Forretress

My Pokemon Crystal team was Dragonite, Tyranitar, Slowking, Typhlosion, Kingdra and Furret which was my HM mule. A friend helped me get the trade evolutions one weekend. He started with Chikarita, I initially started with Totodile, after I traded him over Pokemon for caterpie I reset my game, rushed too Goldenrod, he sent over Seadra, Dragonair, Pupitar and I got a slowpoke with a king's rock. I didn't know you could catch Pokemon holding items at the time, we were 8 maybe 9 at the time. We ended up completing our Pokedex with the exception of Mew and Celebi. Being in Australia they were impossible to get, we only had access to the internet at the school library, that's how we found out who held what and where to get them. We didn't know the daycare glitch or the fly trick for them. Slowking was an absolute monster, he held his own alongside the rest of my team, even Furret put some work in. Trading with link cable was annoying. It was a good 4 weeks working on in together.

Me: MysticUmbreon, can we have Meganium on the team? MysticUmbreon: We have Meganium at home The Meganium at home: 12:43

That happens to have been the exact move set for my Slowking in my latest play thru of HeartGold 😂 Truly an amazing mon'!

I like the sandslash add. I’ve always been a big fan of it

I used Slowking in my playthrough of Crystal and it was amazing

I've used Nidoqueen on kanto teams a few times as an alternative to Nidoking. For a playthrough of the main game, there is barely anything between them I find. I basically catch whichever Nidoran I find first and that's the one I choose

Love the Slowpoke line representation. Great video!

I actually love Noctowl and Sandslash. I love the design, even if they aren't the most viable options, and I've got both on a HeartGold nuzlocke team right now. I also prefer Nidoqueen to Nidoking. I like the more defensive stat spread.

This looks really good love the content

I’m still waiting for the redone sun and moon team(it recommends joltion for totem wishiwashi, even though you can’t get a thunder stone before then)

I've legit run a team through Gold with Noctowl, Sandslash, Nidoqueen and Sunflora. Think the other two were Feraligatr and Ampharos who basically carried though. Never used a Dunsparce in my life though

I try to use Slowking all the time when I can, super underrated

I actually use Nidoqueen over her male counterpart always.She has good attacking stats and is far better than Nidoking defensively

i used Sandslash on my team in Crystal, and they were definitely one of the best ‘mons on my team. if you have the patience to raise one, it’s definitely rewarding

I used dunsparce in a crystal nuzlocke. Honestly it did great for the first 4 badges. Rage and rollout are very strong early Gen 2

No Ariados? That was always my obscure little addition in the Gen 2 games, still is. Not because it's good, it's NOT, it's not even the best poison type in a gen more than a decade before poison OR bug types got thrown half a bone. I just always play with it because I like it and it's pretty little spider face. One of the short list of pokemon I'd want for my partner if I lived in the pokemon world.

For the last Pokemon i was expecting to see Heracross because of so hard it was to get or maybe Forretress but..Sunflora ? Damn,i forgot that Pokemon for GOOD. Also i remember me as a kid finding Dunsparce for the first time,i got so hyped finding a new Pokemon and by the looks of it i thought "damn this one will have a badass evolution" but as we all know..yea..

I literally hunt for dunsparc every play through lmao

Okay I can honestly say tho I have used all the mons on this team I have never used them together. Good job man

Nice team comp. I’ve used Sunflora before, and theyre not as bad as you would think. Really solid for water/rock/ground types and growth/synthesis/giga drain is also nice. I think maybe some Pokémon like Lanturn/Ursaring/politoed are also a bit more underused.

for a challenge in pokemon gold i used gold's manga team, including his sunflora, and that sunflora was better than expected. she crushed pryce and she was one of the most used mons in kanto. i also had a aipom, and that thing was way worse that sunflora.

Right now I'm doing a Pkmn Gold Nuzlocke and: - Had to use Hoothoot at the beginning, she's out of my team now but she took down Bugsy only with Peck - Got a Sandsdrew who evolved into Sandslash and although I want to replace him, he is one of my most valuable Pkmn with high ATK and DFE - I'm a Slowpoke fan, but I'm keeping her in the box because I don't want her to get hurt or die... but might use her as a SlowQueen This was a great video, keep going with the series =)

This was a complete curve. I've always liked the slowking look never had it unfortunately. Great series right here

While you're still talking about johto, I think you should remaster the best teams for meganium and feraligatr because it uses trade evolutions

I would swap out confusion with return in noctowls moveset, which gives him a great normal STAB move that often overshadows fly. And then once reaching Kanto, I would immediately go fix the kanto power plant before doing gyms to get the XPN card, then wake up Snorlax and head over to Viridian city in order to grab dreameater. Then I'd replace nightmare with dreameater which actually gives noctowl a useful method to make his special attack count more for the latter part of the game. It's a small upgrade in my opinion since with Noctowl you're gonna spam return mostly, and use fly against pokemon with weakness to it. But it can be a good way to deal with stronger pokemon, and/or pokemon weak to psychic. With confusion, you'd never really get use of it since it gets 120 power when super-effective while return gets 150 power just through STAB bonus. Thanks for the video, it was a nice one! :)

My first Johto team was Typhlosion, Raticate, Furret, and Noctowl. I only used Typhlosion and Raticate in battles, and really, only Typhlosion.

I’ve used Dunsparce, it was pretty fun honestly

Just played through crystal with poliwrath, slowking, and pigeot. Didn’t have much trouble till the elite four, entered at lv 42.

Dunsparce is my favourite pokemon, and is a legit beast if properly ev-trained. Glare or thunderwave to paralyze and slow your enemies, then bite and headbutt to make them flinch, and something to keep it alive, like rest, roost or leftovers. Unexpected and hard to deal with if you use it at just the right time in the match.

I've used Noctowl, Sandslash, Nidoqueen, Slowking, and Sunflora, but never all on the same team. The first 3 are ones I tend to come back to in other games and Gen 2 replays, though, mostly for how much I love the designs.

Noctowl in Crystal was my first-ever shiny (excluding the red Gyarados, of course). Sadly, I didn't get to enjoy it much because my save file corrupted not long after. Dunsparce is really fun to mess around with in later generations due to its Serene Grace ability. I had one on my team in Y and it could hold its own. I used Sandslash in Yellow once. It was alright; it got the job done. I don't think I've ever really used a Slowking before. Nidoqueen should not be underestimated. It may not be as good as Nidoking, but the difference isn't all that great; it can still do anything Nidoking can do. I remember experimenting with Sunflora in Crystal. It was... something. I was having fun, so I guess that's what matters.

The Jhoto's rival was great, loved his battle theme.

I always use Sandslash so

Slowking is one of my favorites, great choice

This does seem like a fun thing to try out.

Funny enough, in my last SoulSilver playthrough, I used 1/3 of this team. Sandslash and Nidoqueen. It was a fun but frustrating Mono-Ground type run.

Sandslash is my go-to ground pokemon. I know there are better pokemon for that role but I just love the little thing!

believe it or not the first two members of this video was on my OG johto team from my pokemon gold and also used sunflora lol. the team was thyphlosion, noctowl, quagsire, amphoros, sunflora and dunsparce. brought this same team back when I got heartgold then I finally revamped my johto team.

I'm going to wait until you get to gen 8 with this series and then pick my favorites of them that aren't that popular. Because I totally would use Nidoqueen and Sandslash in a team (Heck, I'd even use Clefable :3 I loved it before it became Fairy Type).

I actually used nidoqueen in my original playthrough as a kid. She's my favorite of the two and in my top 10 favorite pokemon. I bodyslammed and ice punched everything. I'm so happy to see her here

My sisters team for Pokémon Crystal was Meganium, Slowking, Noctowl, Espeon, Weezing and Electrode. She was one of those lucky ones to get the kings rock on her slowpoke she caught.

I used Dunsparce in Soul Silver. Actually amazing early to mid game with stab serene grace headbutt.

Dunsparce is my favorite. Total meme Pokémon. My GSC moveset is, well, actually good, so maybe it doesn’t fit here, but it is Curse, Zap Cannon, Headbutt, and Rest.

You think your team is weird? (Laugh track) Well, meet mine! These are the Pokémon I've never used

I always use Sunflora, Sandslash, and Nidoqueen in my gen 2 runs. I also have a liking to slowking.

I've used Sandslash, Nidoqueen, Noctowl, and Dunsparce in a team together before, but I definitely have never used a sunflora xDx mightve used a Slowking in another run, but I remember using those other 4 in my 2nd Crystal playthrough. Always been a Sandslash fan, always loved the Nidos, Noctowl looked cool at the time, and Dunsparce I was convinced would evolve into a dragon until it was about lvl 70 xDx man, I both remember fondly and with disdain how much misinformation went around back then around pokemon games ( Mew under the truck, 2nd S.S. Anne trip in RBY/RGY, dunsparce evolved into a dragon, Pikablu, the list goes on.

My recent Nuzlocke run of gold finished with Typhlosion, Nidoqueen, Slowbro, Xatu, Eggseggutor, and Jynx

I used Noctowl a fair amount, then again I also played Colosseum a lot so I used a bunch of odd Pokemon there, and so used them again in Crystal.

I thought it was a pretty good team! Lol great video!

I just finished my adventure on Soul Silver using only Johto pokemon and it feels really great to beat a game without overused pokemon, I used Lanturn Heracross Xatu Quagsire Bellossom and Magcargo

For the ruby, sapphire, and emerald one volbeat is option but I used it was a beast

funny thing is in my original silver play through i used noctowl and dunsparce (i thought dunsparce would evolve had it till elite 4)

Hm, how very interesting, can’t wait to see more of these.

Sparce is one my favs I use him somewhat frequently

Yeah that is a unique team. The only pokemons that I actually use from that team is Sandslash because I like it but I don't use it often because I try to use a gen 2 only team when I play crystal. But I always use Dunsparce because it is my favorite pokemon of all.

Dunsparce is actually kinda good at times I have used it before and it wasn't the best but still fine lol

I've used Noctowl, Nidoqueen, Sandslash, and Slowking on a team before. But I also had Houndoom and Gengar so very close

If only the virtual console of the johto games were able to trade online than I would have no problem trying to have a slowing for a team like this

Ye that seems like a team i would use and probably used one close to that. Even did several Dunsparce only runs and it works out quite good :D

My first shiny ever was a sunkern and then ended up loving it with the solar power ability and solar beam killing multiple Kyogres in the gen 3 remakes

Sandslash definitely deserves more love! I used one in my first Crystal playthrough and it was my lead for the longest time. That f****** shrew could tear up the whole elite four by himself. And it was only like level 55 or 60! 🤷🤣

Haha jokes on you MysticUmbreon, this is the team i used i my VERY FIRST PLAYTHROUGH (i say, lying through my teeth)

My team was not as common but plausible, I had feraligatr,jolteon, victreebel,wigglituff,togetic, and golem. Believe it or not wigglituff was the mvp with the elemental punches plus it was shiny so that made it even better

Well Slowking's attack was better than I thought. That Shadowball won't go completely waste.

I really liked your video. 👍

Just found the channel, attempting the Kanto challenge currently :3

My first play through of this region was feraligtr, ariados, noctowl, ampharos, umbreon, and donphan

I don't know why but watching this video got me thinking about a gen 1 rock team. I mean there are 6 rock types in gen 1 but only 5 available in 1 playthrough.

My current SS team I’m running with is: - Maganium - Scizzor - Slowking - Raikou - Misdreavus - Tyranitar (I try to never use legendaries on my team but I have never played with any of the dogs and Raikou is my favorite I thought it would be time to use him for a playthrough)

Great choices. I would exchange nidoqueen for either misdreavus or yanma.

Ah mystic umbreon assumes that I have not used this team again. He would be right 😆

I ALWAYS use Noctowl in my in-game play through a since Silver, I like this already

My original team for Johto (which for me was HGSS cause I never owned GSC) was Meganium, Noctowel, Flareon (cause I had beat Cynthia’s Garchomp with it XD) Furret (not as an HM Slave) Ampharose, and finally a Dragonite because dragons are awesome!

I loved slowking. It just socks it takes so far into the game to get it.

I like slowking, it's just such a pain in the butt to get as you mentioned 🥺

Funny enough I've used 2 of these before on the same playthrough in Nidoqueen and Sandslash, but I ain't never gonna use sunflora when every single grass type in Johto outclass it

My favorite team to play through Silver and Crystal used to be: Typhlosion Umbreon Noctowl Scizor Slowking Ampharos Once I played it through with only bug pokemons and my team was this: Heracross Ariados Crobat Forretress Scizor Gyarados only for Surf etc.

You should do a best team for each game but you can only use first stage Pokémon

Never used this exact team all together, but Slowking is the only one of this bunch I never used ingame. I've been known to use Noctowl from time to time. I have a Dunsparce and a Sunflora on my Crystal team right now, and not for the memes- I just like Sunflora and _really_ like Dunsparce (legit my third favorite Pokémon) Sandslash featured heavily in a recent Nuzlocke I did in Crystal, though tragically died to a Graveler's Self-Destruct, and I've used Nidoqueen many times, albeit more in Gen 1, but I know I've used it in Gen 2 at least once or twice.

i think you should do an x and y best team remastered since im pretty sure thats the only team you havent remastered

Nidoqueen is actually the more defensive of the two nidos, also the elemental punches are all special attack based

I caught a shiny Alolan Sandshrew in my digital copy of Pokémon Ultra Sun and named it Bluebelly, I kept it as a Sandshrew because I enjoy the shiny and it was a full odds shiny when I was grinding out my Pokédex. I have my best shiny luck with Gen 7, as I usually fill a box full of shiny Pokemon in the ultra games, and got a few full odds, no grind, shiny mons, like Bluebelly and my purple Mareep. A challenge I have is to have someone fill a box full of shiny Pokemon by any non hack/GameShark means in the Ultra games

I almost used Sandslash in one of the later games but it couldn't learn false swipe so I went with something else

Me having Dunsparce and Sunflora as my favorite Normal and Grass type not only for Johto but for the WHOLE franchise... And Noctowl as my go to Flying-type on G/S/C on gameplays were I limit myself to never use Gen I mons (because Murkrow is only postgame) The other 3 I never used on Johto tho (but have used Sandslash and Nidoqueen on Kanto), soooo, 3 out of 6 lol.

I think flareon would be a good choice to go into this team too, cause it doesn’t suck but who goes out of their way when they have an Eevee to get that? Like umbreon and espeon debut in this gen

I literally just played through Crystal over the past couple weeks for the first time where I actually leveled up a whole team legitimately (as in I owned and played it as a child but only ever really had one or TWO maybe Pokémon that were over leveled and then relied on legendaries later game) and it was kinda hard with the old mechanics and that damn gen 2 exp curve, but… anyways my team ended up being Shiny Jynx (thanks odd egg) Meganium Arcanine Lapras Umbreon Pidgeot :)

Nidoqueen had same stats as nidoking too which was definitely the best non starter in gen 1

I often used Sandslash in Gen 1 games, it's a good pokemon

Dunsparce rules and I love using it, especially early in the game.

Slowing is a mandatory pic for my Gen 2 games lol. I always name it Oxforde.

I used dunsparce as a kid trying to figure out why it didn’t evolve but I brought it through up to the elite four till I gave up trying to evolve it

I could’ve solo’s the game with my miltank and exeggcutor I kinda almost did them two together are insane

I used Noctowl and Nidoqueen, thats about it. Always had Feraligatr on me

I'm a massive sandslash fan! It's actually my favorite pokemon of all time. But yeah, it's definitely not great in gen 2. haha I'd give it slash or return over strength. And dynamic punch and fury cutter are rough choices... Slash, dig, sand attack, and defense curl might be a better option. I don't remember what other TMs it learns. Rollout's pretty good on it, though.
