Yo I'd never seen Gliscor before but they look awesome!! They're like a scorpion bat fusion!! Here's mine

Metagross, Noivern, Gengar, Dragapult, Emboar and Swampert!

As a teen when I first discovered pokemon Noivern was my favourite, probably because I was still in my dragon/HTTYD phase and I thought Noivern looked the coolest out of the dragon like Pokemon. Gengar has also always been a favourite since I was teen, like every wanna be edgy teen I thought Gengar looked cool

Swampert was my favourite starter evolution when I was teen because again, I thought he looked the most dragon like (I never really grew out of my HTTYD phase, if it looks dragon like I'll love it), and Mudkip is also adorable so of course I'd love his evolution forms.

Emboar I started to like as of recent, they just look really good and I love their big bushy brow thingies on their design. Same for Metagross, I also think he looks really cool, and my brain made the comparison of him to a crab so when I get a Metagross plushy (yes I am set on getting one), I'm nicknaming him Crab (ye I know there are crab like pokemon but I like Metagross so shhh-)

And Dragapult. Dragon looking Pokémon with little baby missile dragons in it's horns for free. Need I say more?

If any pokemon fans want to tell me if I'd be find or cooked in the pokemon world with this team please do, but just know, my mind is set on this team and I'm not ever gunna change it

My Pokemon Team (as of 2024)

@palettepainter and I are making our ideal Pokemon teams. This is mine.

Houndoom - I have always liked the dog Pokemon and when I got my first Manectric card in middle school, I fell in love. But once mega forms were introduced, Houndoom just became 200% cooler. And who could say no to a face like that?

Besides looks, Houndoom can be a pretty strong Pokemon, being a fire/dark type who mostly live in packs. The Pokédex entry suggests that if you get hit by its fire, the pain will never go away. Creepy, but effective.

Absol - This is also a Pokemon that I fell in love with their mega form before their original form. Also, Absol is just very mysterious in general. Being known as the "Disaster Pokemon" doesn't help its reputation, but it still deserves love for a unique design.

Absol is a dark type Pokemon with a calm disposition and a humanoid face. It also dislikes fighting, so it doesn't like changing into its mega form, which I would be fine with.

Hydreigon - I cannot make my team without a dragon type (says the person obsessed with dragons), and what's more dragon than Hydreigon? Since the Pokemon Anime had a Black and White episode dedicated to Iris taming one, I thought it was the coolest thing.

Hydreigon is a very destructive dark/dragon type Pokemon with only the middle head having a brain and just attacking/biting everything it comes across, but I'm sure with a lot of patience (and bandages), it could be trained.

Gliscor - No Pokemon team is complete without a Pokemon who can fly (in my opinion), and that goes to Gliscor with an interesting design for both stages. I have the Gligar Pokemon card and was on the hunt for the Gliscor card before I stopped collecting them.

Gliscor is a ground/flying type that looks to be a mix between a bat and a scorpion. Also, IT CAN GROW TO 6'07". That is insane when compared to its first stage, where it's half that height.

Decidueye - In terms of Pokemon name memorization goes, I stopped after we hit the Alola region, but I remember loving the Owl starter that was an archer (during my small archer phase). The glow up from a small owl to a Robin Hood-esque vibe is really cool.

Decidueye is a grass/dark type who fires arrow quills from its wings with precise aiming that it never misses. It also pulls on the vines of its hood to aid in focus. I also think he's just so badass.

Glaceon - Somehow, I never escape the Eeveelutions, so let's go with one of my favorites: Glaceon. I had a Glaceon action figure that I brought everywhere along with my other Pokemon figures.

Glaceon is an ice type who can freeze the air around itself to make small ice crystals. It does this by controlling its own body heat so that it drops to a freezing level.

The whole team, with their types put into thought, are very strong against Ghost and Fairy type Pokemon, but weak to Fighting type. I put my team in this website to see the strengths, weaknesses, etc. https://richi3f.github.io/pokemon-team-planner/plan/#home

My previous team consisted of Houndoom, Absol, Hydreigon, Gengar, Chandelure, and a shiny Sylveon, and the team before that was basically Manectric, Hawlucha, and Lucario (a mix of Pokemon figurines and cards).
