If you were a Gym leader and had to choose a type

[JarJar]

yeah it should be 2-4 pokemon for gyms..

[Devicho]

Ghost because ghost Pokemon are awesome motherfuckers.
Mismagius
Froslass
Spiritomb
Gengar
Dusknoir
Banette

[des]

electric cus im yellow

also all the pokemon start with the letter d

[Cshad]

Devicho there is a disturbing lack of Rotom in your post.

I'd run a Steel/Rock/Ground team, basically people who benefit from Sandstorm, unfrotunately, most ground/rock/steel pokemon also have a very low Sp.Def.
I think I'm gonna try this later;

Hippowdon
Gliscor
Registeel
Tyranitar
Magnezone
Metagross

This could probably use some tweaking, but oh well. I like residual damage, and Swampert deserves a place somewhere, as well as Scizor, oh well.

EDIT: Ryperior is very very tempting as well.

[8-Bit Squirrel]

Dark because there hasn't been one in the games yet (Elite Four don't count)

Houndoom
Absol
Tyranitar
Spiritomb
Sharpedo
Honchkrow

[Vipershark]

if we're going by r/b/y stats then definitely psychic as it rapes everything

[Cshad]

Anything faster than a Psychic pokemon or Chansey is capable of taking them out/stalling with ease

Psychic wasn't unbeatable in rby

[Sol]

I'd probably choose Normal.

Smeargle
Zangoose
Porygon2
Furret
Persian

These Pokemon choices might suck but I'm not one of those crazy competitive players, I use Pokemon because I like them. I especially like Smeargle on this list, he's actually my favorite Pokemon. :)

ditto, only I do play competitivly so my pokemon lose alot

[Vipershark]

I don't play competitively so I don't ev train or care about natures, etc
I just get the strongest moves and level my stuff to 100 and just tank my way through everything

[Alpha Six]

pokemon that look cool and take names

Zangoose
Zangoose
Zangoose
Zangoose
Blaziken
Zangoose

[JoshR691]

I think you forgot about Zangoose, Tyvon

I'd probably have a Normal type Gym

Munchlax
Snorlax
Ambipom
Delcatty
and who can forget Smeargle

[GrooveMan.exe]

Ghost/Electric Gym. As always.

Magnemite
Shuppet
Sableye
Magneton
Rotom (Normal, Cut, or Fan)

I'm not so sure about levels or moveset. I'd be about mid/late game, and give out a Charge Beam TM upon defeat.

[Zee]

My choice is of course, Water

Starmie [Sea Incense]
[Spoiler]
(o) Surf
(o) Psychic
(o) Thunderbolt
(o) Ice Beam
[/Spoiler]

Tentacruel [Poison Barb]
[Spoiler]
(o) Sludge Bomb
(o) Ice Beam
(o) Knock off
(o) Surf
[/Spoiler]

Lanturn [Wise Glasses]
[Spoiler]
(o) Surf
(o) Signal beam
(o) Discharge
(o) Aqua Ring
[/Spoiler]


I'd hand out the TM Hydro Pump, permit trainers to use Surf outside of battle and grant the victors the Mercurial Badge.

I do play competatively, and even won a local tournament (which, by the bye, has me hating Gengars) but my team is more than just this, so I figured I'd only mention these three.

[Vipershark]

I know a guy with a level 100, 99 speed gengar that has incredible stats and wears a focus sash that allows for 1HP explosion attacks
really annoying

he also has a heatproof bronzong that knows toxic, confusing attacks, and has extreme defense
basically, you can't hurt it, but it needles you
so annoying
