BDSP What Pokemon will you be using in Brilliant Diamond/Shining Pearl?

[JediMaster362]

I guess it's that time, new remakes, new teams. What is everything thinking so far? I haven't thought much ahead besides knowing I'll start with Piplup. I was kinda banking on the Platinum Dex but there's no real indication if we're getting that or the base DP Dex.

I am definitely using my Female Infernape, Starly, Shinx, Budew, Onix and Happiny.

My Starly doesn’t need to land the Critical Hits it does manage to land. It’s Aerial Ace is always a nice Ace up my sleeve. But, I still appreciate Starly's loyalty.

Nice 12.5% chance

Thanks! On my first try, too! When I saw that, I was like, "Am I seeing this right?" But, yep. It’s true!

I got a little bored with my current playthrough so I decided to switch things up by starting over and using some kind of a gimmick. I settled on using Pokemon that can benefit from a Sandstorm. It's pushing me to use Pokemon I ignored before that come from the ground, rock, and steel groups respectively such as Steelix and Rhyhorn.

Rock gets a +SpD buff from the sand, so make sure your team has some of those

In both of my playthroughs of Shield, my starter has been female. I still can't believe it.

I'm doing a water monotype run of Brilliant Diamond, at the moment my team is as follows:
-Sokka the Empoleon
-Aang the Pelipper
-Dextra the Lumineon
-Saya the Azumarill
-Sandy the Gastrodon
-Kyla the Gyarados

I've also got a copy of Shining Pearl, but I haven't decided what I'll be doing with my team on there. And yes, I realize coulda done the water run on the game with the water legendary, but this didn't occur to me until I was already decently far in.
