If I wanted to make an entire team based around a single animal type (like an all snake team or an all dog team), which animal would provide the strongest and most well balanced team?Bug or bird isn't a good answer, the concept of "bug" is a bit too vague, and bird is too easy an answer.
All dogs.
>suicune
>arcanine
>zyguarde 10%
>mega absol
>raikou
>entei
>>32998672
>Suicune
>Raikou
>Entei
Anon, please, let's wait at least a little bit before trying to start an argument.
>>32998679
Entei and Suicune are dogs. Raikou looks more feline imo.
"Beasts" is too vague.
All dragon team.
>>32998661
All Tigers.
>Raikou
>Raikou
>Raikou
>Raikou
>Raikou
>Incineroar in case of spooky ghosts
>>32998661
All Carnivorans
>Raikou(Tiger)
>Arcanine(Dog)
>Slowbro(Giant Otter)
>Bewear(Red Panda)
>Skuntank(Skunk)
>Beartic(Polar Bear)
>>32998757
That might be a little too vague for the concept to be really obvious.
>>32998722
Not a real animal.
>>32998757
>Slowbro
>otter
It doesn't have fur. Slowpoke's line isn't based on a real animal.
>>32998661
Frogs
>Politoed
>Greninja
>Seismitoad
>Toxicroak
>Poliwrath
>>32998661
How about butterfly/moth?
>Butterfree
>Venomoth
>Beautifly
>Dustox
>Vivillon
>Masquerain
>>32998811
Poliwrath is a tadpole.
>>32998770
Then how about all Non-Avian Dinosaurs!
Pick six of these
>Tyrantrum(T.Rex)
>Aurorus(Amargasaurus)
>Rampardos(Pachycephalosaurus)
>Bastiodon(Chasmosaurus)
>Torterra(Ankylosaurus)
>Aggron(Triceratops)
>Meganium(Apatosaurus)
>Tropius(Brachiosaurus)
>Sceptile(Utahraptor)
>>32998771
>It doesn't have fur.
You don't know that.
>>32998811
I like the idea, but there aren't enough frogs yet.
>>32998848
Fun idea, but the downside is that now you're running a team that's mostly bug/flying.
>>32998866
Might give something like that a try.
>>32998866
>not including Tyranitar (Stegosaur)
You took enough liberties with Aggron (Triceratops), and Tyranitar is basically a bipedal Stegosaur what with the scutes and the thagomizer at the end of its tail.
>>32998902
It's a Godzillet.
>>32998707
Jolteon is a good, more canine-like alternate.
>>32998905
It's a Godzillet that also looks an awful lot like a Stegosaurus that decided it wanted the cookies on the top shelf.
>>32998905
SKREEEONGK, MY GRANDSON IS NOT A MIDGET! SKREEEONGK!
Snails and slugs :
Escavalier/Accelgor
Gastrodon
Goodra
Slugma's evolution
Manaphy
Omastar could work there
>>32998661
Probably humanoid Pokemon.
>>32998672
Suicune is a Chinese unicorn and Entei is a Chinese guardian lion, and mega absol looks more like a sphinx desu
>>32998745
What is shadowball
>>32998661
Why not do like an order of animal like Canidae? Then You could include ninetales and Zoroark or any eevee for fox, Lucario for jackal, arcanine and 10% zygarde for dog, and manetric for maned wolf
>>32998931
omastar does not work there
but you could get away with shelmet
Snakes:
>Arbok
>Serperior
>Milotic
>(Mega) Steelix
>Seviper
>Dunsparce
Rabbits:
>Azumarill
>Lopunny
>Diggersby
>Mega Mawile
>Wigglytuff
>Nidoqueen
>>32999081
>Rabbits
>Nidoqueen
What
>>32999005
Then in case of Serperiors eating Raikou's thunderbolts like a bucket of pussy.
>>32999111
Nidoran is pretty rabbit esque.
>>32999135
How? It's reptilian
>>32998811
>Frogs
this is a really cool idea. just gotta add registeel and then you're all set
>>32998757
>>32998771
I always thought the bros were sort of hippo-ish, obviously the tail doesn't fit, but that also may be where the tail meme came from - the creators were like "that's a hippo with a tail, pretty crazy, I kinda feel like chewing on it"
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
>>32999111
the nido lines are rabbits
>>32999081
however mawile is not what the fuck
Dragons or fish would give plenty of variety, i think that you could find enough fish with type combos that werent all weak to elec/grass
>>32998913
Godzilla is part Stegosaurus, you know. That's where the plates on its back come from. Tyranitar itself is more directly based on Godzilla, which is MOST directly based on teaditional and erroneous restorations of Tyrannosaurus.
>>33001258
Godzilla is a marine iguana that got hit with radiation, no dinosaur DNA in there
Unless you mean that's where the inspiration came from then yeah prob stego and t-rex
>>32999140
I've never really seen the Nidos as reptilian, although whether it has fur or scales or a leathery hide isn't really clear, so I can understand where you're coming from. It's a hunched over quadruped with buck teeth and long ears though, so it definitely has some rabbit qualities. It changes from rabbit/rodent to giant armored poison monster pretty quick once it evolves, granted.
>>32998771
>>33000716
i think its like a salamander/hippo. it has regenerator which is like how salamanders can regenerate limbs and stuff.
>>33001826
oh you right senpai didn't think about that
>>32998707
Entei is a lion
>>33000732
Mega Mawile is inspired by moon rabbits, and has the power doubling ability reserved for rabbit Pokemon.
>>32998661
I have a team of turtles.
You could do a monkey/ ape team
Infernape
Oranguru
Darmanitan
Ambipom
Primeape
Simipour
Simisage
Simisear
There are probably more but thats all I can think of
>>33002149
No, Pyroar is a lion.
>>32998848
>stealth rocks
OP wants well balanced and almost viable
>>32999140
They're kaijus based on rhinos and rabbits.
>>32998914
