Pokemon you didn't think you would use

[Aleexio Banderas]

I didn't expect to use Druddigon as I definitely prefer Haxorus plus I prefer Pokemon which evolve because I feel you have something more to work for. But when I got it over the GTS it destroyed everything in it's path so I decided to keep it.

Musharna. That one, and Swoobat. I was completely unaware of Woobat having such a cute evolution (I just started playing Black like a week ago) and I didn't care for Woobat so after catching it it was sent to my PC and left there. I took it out again the instant I became aware of its adorable evolution. Now my Swoobat Nosferatu has a solid spot in my permanent team! :crush:

 

[Agent K]

I didn't think I'd use Watchog. I was Nuzlocking, so I had to make do with the first Pokemon on the route.

 

[Fireheart]

My Audino
Although it is my weakest Pokémon it is still a pretty good Pokémon

 

[Beast]

for me it's Resheram, I normally don't use legendaries but I;m starting to like this one, besides it's in a premier ball

 

[WeatherWitch]

I would never in a million years think that Galvantula would be in my team, but it's kiler speed has helped me out very much.

To a lesser majority, Serperior, because I was going to go with Tepig, then saw its fugly evolutions. Pleh.

 

[TFSpock]

Literally my whole team. Serperior, I was gonna go with Oshawott, but I saw Serpy, and the rest is history. I got Lillipup next, my first Pokemon I ever caught in Unova. I caught Roggenrola, with Panpour, and Purrloin, and I thought I had a main team in the makings already. But, I replaced Panpour and Purrloin with Timburr and Tympole by the second badge. I went with these five, until Chargestone Cave, where I caught the only Pokemon I planned to have, Joltik. Serperior, Gigalith, Stoutland, Seismitoad, Conkelldurr, and Galvantula. Better than they seem.

 

[Zekurom]

I... actually... didn't.

I deliberately avoided catching the early Pokémon early on, and managed to get myself a pretty decent team.

And then there's the story of a Dangoro (Roggenrola) with an Everstone >_>

 

[Stuntology]

I swore that I was not going to use a lillipup after the first gym, because I hated it's evolutions. However, naming it after my own dog made me hold on to it, and now it's a Herdier that I love and isn't going anywhere.

 

[UnovaCastaway]

I never expected to use my Archeops as a permanent team member because I didn't know how often his Defeatest would halve his Attack. His Speed is really good, and I often KO opponents with him. The Adamant nature helps.

 

[trainermarina]

Okay, I feel the need to amend my previous list by adding another Pokémon to it: Serperior.

Originally, out of the three starters, Snivy was my least favorite. But then, just like with Oshawott, I fell in love with it after watching the Best Wishes anime. This made me take a second look at it, and I turned out to love Snivy's sprite and animation. :kawaii: Then I took a look at its evolutions... and WOW! Of all the final starter evolutions of every generation released to date, I think there is no cooler Pokémon than Serperior. I love its "aura", its facial expression that says it's so much better than you and it knows it, you know it, and it knows you know it. :evil:

My Snivy Rudyard (bred from a traded Snivy) evolved into Serperior after only a couple hours of grinding, and it is now level 42. A more beautiful, dependable Pokémon I've never trained! :crush:

And to think I loved Tepig so much at first and dissed the other two completely, lol. :sweatlol: I can't believe Serperior turned out to be one of my favorite Pokémon not just of this gen but of all time! Funny how that works out...

 

[Owain]

^^ S2

also - Zorroark, i was using Liepard, no... i did like Liepard, its just that i was watching Yu Yu Hakusho and Zorroark's hair reminded me of Kurama(read:Badass) so yeah~

 

[βƹβƹ ɱɪɢηѻη]

Whimsicott shocked me, I thought it would be just another grass-typed Pokemon, but it proved me wrong with it's great ability (Prankster) and it's high speed and status moves.

 

[Blaah]

For me, it was Sawk and Pansage/Simisage. I hadn't really taken much notice of them(Though I hadn't even heard of Sawk until I saw it in the grass). And then I realised that I found them both very useful.

 

[J J M]

Roggenrola.

Same. It helped me take on Lenora and was originally going to be a sorta permanent member. However since I can't trade to get it to Gigalith, combined with its bad movepool (and bad special defense), I had to leave it in the box.

Mine just helped me beat Lenora, and it stayed in the party until I got my permanent party members. Pleasant surprise.

 

[JackRyan64]

I tend to plan my parties out pre-game, but I ended up using Samurott. He wasn't appealing to me at first, but after my friend offered me an Oshawatt for a Snivy I bred I ended up using it a lot, and now its one of the only new Pokemon I actually like.

 

[Fair Verona]

I didn't really think that I would use my Gothizelle, but now it is probably one of the strongest on my team!

I also thought I would end up scrapping my Simipour for a differant water type, but I've faithfully kept it, and I don't see me replacing it any time soon

 

[jigglypaul]

I didn't think I'd use Simipour for so long but he remained in my party all the way through my Japanese Black. I used him again when I started White.

 

[Kantomasta]

for gen. V it was Sawk. Someone traded me him and now he is a permanet team member, same as krookodile. For non gen.V its pellipper, again, someone traded me him, and now hes a permanet member'
