Hey everyone! In platinum I forgot that you actually won’t need strength to catch Gible. There are no boulders in the way in platinum so you can actually get Gible and Garchomp much earlier than I say in the video!
Changes i wil make on this team staraptor need queeck attack for priority evry other mive is ok i can use fly with driflblim Infernape give him grass knott for the groond type coverage over heat or flamethrower mach punch shadow claw coverage Using gastrodon ore quagsire is better than gyarados where so many enemies having electric type moves gastos moves ice beam surf earthquake sludge bomb Whoopers same Jolteon thunder bolt shadow ball hyper beam and hiden power or bite
I only need one question, why you use Gyarados instead of gastrodon, gastrodon is good for tank, and since all of the team is hitters, you need defensive
Agree with the whole list except for gyarados and jolteon. Whenever I play I try to use only pokemon introduced in that region. So i'd use luxray/electivire and try to use one of the sinnoh watertypes (I know they suck but ah what the hell)
Great video. I’ve been mostly building this team. Instead of Staraptor though, I’m currently using a Crobat just from personal preference. I do have my staraptor trained up though. I’m also debating on adding togekiss to my team, but I’m having a hard time choosing.
Another Great video!! I would give staraptor return for a normal type move STAB since you're going to be using him quite a lot in a playthrough and replace u-turn with return as well in this case. I'm not overly fond of using moves that force you to change out your current Pokemon. Also, I would replace Gyarados with either vaporeon or floatzel due to heavy bulkiness on vaporeon or use floatzel as a mixed attacker despite poor defenses. I don't like having two flyers on my teams at all. Especially if they both have intimidate. Just saying.
Great Team! My team is Infernape / Gyarados / Roserade / Garchomp / Togekiss / Luxray howeverrrr 1. Both Roserade & Togekiss need moonstone. 2. Leveling from egg-three stages is not for everyone. I like your Jolteon pick, it being around your lv25 journey (Gym3 city & connected city -> Ruins) Regarding a more "True to Gen 4" team, I did swap out Floatzel (sorry!) and I generally don't pick regional birds but I would pick those if I wanted a more casual approach that just lacks a bit lategame. At the moment I'm on my way to Distortion World and I'm around lv 40-45, I might still swap to weavile. Sneasel is so late in the game.. (around lv35 journey) but I did plan on getting him however I forgot ha! Roserade is the sp attacker in this setup, where you have Jolteon insead of Luxray. The Poison/Grass type.. well Poison is more defensive but deals with the almost non existing fairy pokemons mhh
Thanks! Hey that makes sense! I somehow thought fairy was already there but just lacking (such as Dragon type before).. Someone has to fly my ass around (in diamond, Honchkrow could also be an avg pick)
Im playing a game without a starter in Platinum and Emerald, only games I've never done it cus i like the starters so much Emerald: Breloom, Aggron, Manectric, Torkoal, Claydol, Walrein Platinum: Floatzel, Togekiss, Dusknoir, Rhyperior, Houndoom, Magnezone
I have Buizel instead of Magikarp. Is he a solid choice or should i change to Magikarp as im still early in the game. The moveset I planned for Floatzel is: Crunch Surf Waterfall Ice beam or Ice Punch. What do you say man?
Great team! I also too would honestly pick Luxray over Jolteon because of his great def & sp def. And would go with Gallade over gyarados because of his speed and Attack being slightly better & his moves as well 😅
I'm going to play with a similar line up on renegade platinum with some of these Pokemon mentioned in this video. Also, as the old saying goes: spices are the variety of life. This means it's interesting to try different things. I believe this saying can be applied to the Pokemon games as well. At least the main games anyways. Anyways, how have you been doing as a youtuber here recently. I don't make videos. But I do follow my favorite youtubers such as you as frequently as I can when I am not busy.
@@johnscott5226 hello! Yes, I agree that a large variety makes things much more interesting. I’ve been doing well but haven’t been able to upload as much as I used to. I’m still trying to finish up my “best team” series with all the starters
I think you could make it work but it’s probably not optimal. It’d make the most sense to do one physical and one special. Maybe the physical ape set in the video then Lucario with Aura Sphere, Flash Cannon, and some filler moves (maybe vacuum wave). Infernape has good special sets though too if you want to go physical on Lucario instead
What Gen IV Pokémon could be a proper substitute for Gyarados, and Weaville? I feel like Floatziel could tag out Gyarados, Drapion for Weaville. And is Luxray really terrible in Gen IV?
Floatzel and Drapion would work well as substitutes. Luxray isn’t horrible, there’s just other electric types that do its job better. The biggest reason I wouldn’t use Luxray is that there aren’t many physical electric moves in gen 4. Your strongest option is thunder fang
Is it okay if i use 1) Infernape 2) Lucario 3) Gastrodon 4) Electivire 5) Staraptor 6) Tyranitar I already have all their pre evolution except Riolu and i havent even challenged the 2nd team yet. Whats your opinion?
@@OaksLab848 yeah i was thinking about adding some substitutes like Floatzel, Garchomp, Roserade . Floatzel learning ice type moves would be handy right? Btw thanks for that quick reply. I didnt expect to get a reply that quick for a 4 month old video❤️
I think you could make it work if you really want to use Gliscor! The downsides are that Garchomp and Gliscor both don’t learn Earthquake by level up so you’d need to make a choice who to give the tm to. Also you’d have to be very careful of ice types.
You are missing some HMs there like surf, rockslide, cut, rock smash, strenght, where do i put them for my traveling around Sinoh ? Or is this a pure for fighting team and you use filler pokemon for the HMs ?
@@OaksLab848 was looking for a pokemon to dump the useless HMs just to go around the map, what do you think about tropius ? Can dump fly instead using it on Togekiss cuz he has way more sp atk than atk, then cut, strenght and rock smash, waterfall on gyarados like you said, defog i can sacrifice a slot on togekiss and im just missing surf which i could use on gyarados aswell instead of return, what do you think? Which dedicated pokemon do you use for HMs ? Anyways great video !
I am lucky with my Luxray, he has a relatively equal special attack and physical attack. I do not know why, my research shows that he usually has at least a 20 point difference favoriting physical attacks over special. Hes level 42 and has a 101 sp attack and 96 physical. Does anyone know how i got lucky? His moveset is Thunder, Crunch, Thunder Fang and spark (yes i know spark is superior to thunder fang and i shouldnt have both)
Nah ice type in Pokemon platinum is so limited, and the reason why you chosee weavile is he is the main one to defeat chyntia garchomp, and can sweep to elite four pshycic type that i forgot hes name again.
Well you can teach one of your team dark type move and use frosslas or abomasnow and you can give Gyarados ice fang to defeat garchomp, but the easiest one is to use weavile
well you get eevvee at lvvl 20..so it e stuck wth no eletirc attacks for a while. sinece we get it at succh a high lvl. lvl 10 woudla been better. as thudnerbolt and charge beam is so late game..i mean joleteon just gonna have quick atk and so until we cna get heart scales. so while luxray is mid atleast it can give eletric support early
You are right, but you can get a great TM right after evolving eevee to jolteon, the TM is “Shock Wave”. It is located the route just before Veilstone City and you can use that move until you can actually get the “Thunderbolt” TM :)
@@OaksLab848 no no you mentioned him in the video and you had your reasoning i just still felt magnezone is a bit better but that’s just me haha great video!
Hey everyone! In platinum I forgot that you actually won’t need strength to catch Gible. There are no boulders in the way in platinum so you can actually get Gible and Garchomp much earlier than I say in the video!
Changes i wil make on this team staraptor need queeck attack for priority evry other mive is ok i can use fly with driflblim
Infernape give him grass knott for the groond type coverage over heat or flamethrower mach punch shadow claw coverage
Using gastrodon ore quagsire is better than gyarados where so many enemies having electric type moves gastos moves ice beam surf earthquake sludge bomb
Whoopers same
Jolteon thunder bolt shadow ball hyper beam and hiden power or bite
Why not hydro pump for Gyarados? And then give waterfall to HM mule
@@bludragon3190 waterfall uses the physical attack stat which is much higher for Gyarados. Plus waterfall is a more accurate move
@@OaksLab848 thanks
I only need one question, why you use Gyarados instead of gastrodon, gastrodon is good for tank, and since all of the team is hitters, you need defensive
Great video. I got Gallade instead of Weavile because it looks cool but your list seems more balanced
Bro thank you so much ❤️you are the best poketuber ever✨ hope you get 1k subs soon and btw the team is very good 👍
Thanks for the support and the kind comment! I’m glad you like the team!
Shall use this team when my copy of Platinum arrives, cheers for the video!
Bro you can play it for free on your phone
Agree with the whole list except for gyarados and jolteon. Whenever I play I try to use only pokemon introduced in that region. So i'd use luxray/electivire and try to use one of the sinnoh watertypes (I know they suck but ah what the hell)
Haha I love Luxray but it’s soo mid lol. I don’t think that Floatzel is too bad, maybe a Waterfall, Aqua Jet, Ice Punch, Bulk Up set
Great video. I’ve been mostly building this team. Instead of Staraptor though, I’m currently using a Crobat just from personal preference. I do have my staraptor trained up though. I’m also debating on adding togekiss to my team, but I’m having a hard time choosing.
Garchomp isnt caught late in the game, u can get Gible after the 2nd gym in Platinum
Different case for DP
Where do we get?
@@DezLingri in a cave under the Bike road
Pretty solid team, close to the one I always liked using:
Infernape
Gyarados
Roserade
Garchomp
Gardevoir
Weavile
Another Great video!! I would give staraptor return for a normal type move STAB since you're going to be using him quite a lot in a playthrough and replace u-turn with return as well in this case.

1. Both Roserade & Togekiss need moonstone.
2. Leveling from egg-three stages is not for everyone.

Togekiss is a cool pick! Air slash & thunder wave with serene grace ability is pretty busted. I wish it had its fairy typing in gen 4
Thanks! Hey that makes sense! I somehow thought fairy was already there but just lacking (such as Dragon type before)..

Buizel is awesome! I like the moveset and would definitely use ice punch instead of ice beam
@@OaksLab848 appreciate it man
If you can get your Buizel evolved before Fantina Floatzel wrecks her Mismagius
This is like the most obvious team of all time, great video
@@lordinfernape4753 Curious, I’ve seen some suggestions to swap Jolteon for Magnezone. Would you say that would improve the team overall?
If I were to have Infernape, I would even it out with Luxray, Roserade, Gastrodon, Gliscor, and Weavile.
Great team! I also too would honestly pick Luxray over Jolteon because of his great def & sp def. And would go with Gallade over gyarados because of his speed and Attack being slightly better & his moves as well 😅

Would Lucario work with inferape in the team too? I like both pokemon but probably not best for viability, Great video btw

Maybe the physical ape set in the video then Lucario with Aura Sphere, Flash Cannon, and some filler moves (maybe vacuum wave).

My first play through of gen 4 I have an infernape an lucario I need a garchomp I’m unimpressed with Abomasnow defense
you can get garchomp early in platinum tho
Oh wow you’re right. I didn’t realize that you don’t need strength. Honestly makes this team kinda better lol
@@OaksLab848 ikr early access to a dragon is insane for that time lol
You mean Gible, not Garchomp. You can get Garchomp ,excluding trade, through evolving it from a Gible.

6) Tyranitar
I already have all their pre evolution except Riolu and i havent even challenged the 2nd team yet. Whats your opinion?
That’s a cool team! Make sure you have an answer to Cynthia’s Garchomp. Looks like most of your offensive mons will struggle with it
@@OaksLab848 yeah i was thinking about adding some substitutes like Floatzel, Garchomp, Roserade . Floatzel learning ice type moves would be handy right? Btw thanks for that quick reply. I didnt expect to get a reply that quick for a 4 month old video❤️
@@evoxnub4195 yes that’d be good. I think Floatzel can get ice punch by tutor in platinum
I love this video
You don’t learn thunder wave on jolteon in platinum until level 57
Charge beam is a good alternative
Same team members but in jolteon's spot im playing rotom
u can get rotom early in the game
What do you think about having Gliscor instead of, say Gyarados?
I think you could make it work if you really want to use Gliscor! The downsides are that Garchomp and Gliscor both don’t learn Earthquake by level up so you’d need to make a choice who to give the tm to. Also you’d have to be very careful of ice types.

@@kidlatino449 I’ll typically have a dedicated hm user in the box. Most HMs aren’t great battle moves and take up valuable slots

@@kidlatino449use bibarel hm king😆
@@DezLingriyes indeed 😅
I just finished my first gym is it too late to start this? My monferno is lvl 23 and I still have my shinx 😅
Try Infernape, Staraptor, Gyarados, Roserade, Garchomp, and Weavile
Would there be any other pokemon that you could use instead of weavile?
Maybe Mamoswine if you don’t mind having two ground types
Agreed this is a best of a team.
What route is the tutor
I am lucky with my Luxray, he has a relatively equal special attack and physical attack. I do not know why, my research shows that he usually has at least a 20 point difference favoriting physical attacks over special. Hes level 42 and has a 101 sp attack and 96 physical. Does anyone know how i got lucky? His moveset is Thunder, Crunch, Thunder Fang and spark (yes i know spark is superior to thunder fang and i shouldnt have both)
Does your Luxray have a Modest nature?
Yes but how can I fit Jynx into this team?
Swap it for Weavile
Ok so I found out where jynx lives but I'm not the chosen one. 😭
are there any better options than weavile?
Nah ice type in Pokemon platinum is so limited, and the reason why you chosee weavile is he is the main one to defeat chyntia garchomp, and can sweep to elite four pshycic type that i forgot hes name again.
Well you can teach one of your team dark type move and use frosslas or abomasnow and you can give Gyarados ice fang to defeat garchomp, but the easiest one is to use weavile
I prefer Dark Pulse than Night Slash on Weavile.
Dark Pulse is an awesome move but misses out on Weaviles super high physical attack. Night slash should almost always do better damage
I run gastrodon over gyardon but other than that good team
Thanks! Gastrodon is an excellent choice
so no one in this line up knows SURF??? and also . put atleast one grass type move and also a psychic one
well you get eevvee at lvvl 20..so it e stuck wth no eletirc attacks for a while. sinece we get it at succh a high lvl. lvl 10 woudla been better. as thudnerbolt and charge beam is so late game..i mean joleteon just gonna have quick atk and so until we cna get heart scales. so while luxray is mid atleast it can give eletric support early

@@jordimanzano4506 hmmm good point.
I stand corrected
no surf on gyarados?
Surf is nice to get around but Gyarados has much better physical stats
Use bibarel hm king😆
There's no team of sinnoh without gartrodon 😊
Magnezone for sure better than jolteon but i love jolteon so ill let it slide
Oh man, I think I might’ve forgotten about Magnezone when I recorded the video haha. Thanks for the suggestion!
@@OaksLab848 no no you mentioned him in the video and you had your reasoning i just still felt magnezone is a bit better but that’s just me haha great video!
