Raikou, Quagsire, Tyhplosion, Gligar, Espeon, and Flygon
espeon, umbreon, plusle, misdreavus, typhlosion.
i honest-to-god can't remember the 6th team member though. i feel like i was always rotating shadow pokemon in my team at all points throughout the game, but these 5 stuck til the end.
recently i got the idea of a rotating team and tried it in fire red. and although it's fun for the first half of the game, it slows down pretty hard by celadon and i got bored quickly.
i think shadow pokemon are a really good way to have a dynamic, constantly-rotating team.

>it slows down pretty hard by celadon and i got bored quickly.
Because of the lack of new Pokemon being introduced?
Misdreavus always cause it's the only ghost type in the whole game
I put a Gameshark code on my game where I could snag any Pokémon. Can't remember my team, but it was kind of funny sometimes defeating trainers by catching all of their Pokémon.I migrated some of those into Gen 7.

kinda. but also because the exp grind feels a bit tedious in mid-game. early game is always fun no matter the pokemon game, but i feel like it generally just gets tough to continue at that point.
my idea was to "train every pokemon" at least 5 levels and fill as much of the dex as possible while playing through. it's fun in theory, but some pokemon are just a hassle to train (see: paras).

ahh I see. Yeah it seems that you hit the nail on the head there, because it really does sound fun to do.

Espeon Umbreon Thysplosion Quagsire hitmontop and ampharos

I used each shadow pokemon in the order I caught them, until their shadow gauge was empty, then switched them out for the next one in line. I did this for four slots, and kept Espeon and Umbreon the whole game
Umbreon, Espeon, Misdreavus, Feraligator, Sudowoodo, Hitmontop
I still have that team, all these years later. Imported to ORAS but haven't bothered with Sun yet. Still hoping for a remake or sequel one day, but feels good to still have them.
