hey,

i just wanted to know if there is a definitive team to be considered the best in pokemon red/blue?

I heard chansey,persian and exxegutor are good?

ive checked th website but cannot find anything that suggests a great team.

thanks

As almost all of the other members will tell you, focus on having diverse types. However, there are a bunch of possibilities for a great team. Obviously, there are some that other people agree on more than others, and some of those are obvious (if they have them, that is...):

Charizard
Mewtwo
Zapdos
Lapras
Snorlax/Chansey (good mention)
Alakazam

Really, everyone will tell you their favorites in the hope you'll agree with them... Consider this, though. A team should be diverse more than anything else. So go with your gut if you want to ask what the six best Pokemon are. Some will be a consensus (look at Charizard, the runner-up in the first Poke Idol competition, and Mewtwo, who everyone calls uber in RBY), but most won't...

Hope this helps!

this was my team in red and it was very good:



they have nice type combonations and great strength

Almost any well trained team can be considered to be strong.
It helps if you concentrate on the moves each pokemon has as well as the pokemon's strenghth and type.
But as it was mentioned before every person has their own idea of the perfect team so it is up to you to decide.

I cant remember any of the moves but my team was








And they owned... lol

i can't remember the moves, this was my team on blue:
blastoise Lv.100
beedrill Lv.100
mew Lv.100
mewtwo Lv.100
dragonite Lv.100
fearow Lv.100

you take your well trained team of beedrill, raticate, fearow, parasect, seaking, and farfetch'd
and fight any other team mentioned here and see what happens.

I liked this team a lot:

Charizard
Alakazam
Lapras
Vileplume
Jolteon
Golem

The team i'm using right now is:
Pikachu
Charizard
Blastoise
Venusaur
Mewtwo
Snorlax

No idea why, but it works very well for me.

Machamp was win back in that Generation; despite the improved moves the old school Machamp and Golem have my heart.

My Ultimate Team was

1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.

I beat the E4 first time with this team and ironically beat Leaf Green the first time with the same exact team.

To be honest, they vary from person to person, depending on what types you prefer to battle with..just experiment with different pokemon in your team..what i found useful is using ditto a lot on trainers pokemon and it gives a good feel on a pokemon before you catch one.

THe only thing i dislike about using a is the hit he has to take during the transform turn.

Yeah, thats's how my ditto is

It is +speed nature (doesnt matter which - it is)
It has 31 HP IV's and it is Ev trained: 252 Spd/252 HP/4 Atk. Works a charm

um....

To all of the above posters: there wasnt speed natures and EV's in this generation.

I am fully aware of how to train a per gen IV or III standards but its different for gen I & II

I was actually trying to go with a Gen 1 outlook. I didn't say anything about natures or IVs...

Vitamins did exist, and those can help for probing the Pokemon world with Ditto...

AEPMT

Ooops, sorry i didn't realise. I forgot this was the Gen I forum. Well..i think i might give a ditto a try out on my Yellow now...

true but sadly vitamins only go so far

Yeah which is a shame...

But, it's good when i play against my brother when we whip out the link cables. I don't even think he knows that the Vitamins do anything good. Bless, he's 14 aswell. :'D

ya i take advantage of my younger siblings in pokemon battles as well xD

I'm going to disregard Mewtwo because he's a given and usually banned from normal play, so:

Alakazam - Great damage with psychic, which is amazing in r/b/y, fast, thunder wave, recover, etc.
Starmie - Also fast, can chose from surf, psychic, blizzad/ice beam, thunderbolt, recover, thunderwave
Exeggutor - Both sturdy and powerful, can use things like sleep powder and leach seed.
Slowbro - If amnesia abuse is pulled off correctly, becomes godly with surf/psychic, thunderwave, and rest.
Persian - Very useful for cleaning up weakened pokemon with its high speed and guaranteed critical slash. Can also get bubblebeam which is great against the likely rock/ground switch in.
Rhydon - Very powerful with its rockslide and earthquake. Also useful with body slam's chance of paralysis. I like using it against already paralyzed pokemon because of his speed, and it's also useful for stopping physical and electric attacks.

Not necessarily as a team, but probably my individual 6 favorite.

i dun really know but i always used

1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.Can't exactly remember but i think it was an eevee evo :/

vaporean maybe?

yah either that or jolteon i never really used flareon
