Typhlosion
Marill(All of you would consider me weird for this)
Raichu
(As seen, there are water types, Electric and Fire, with fire dominating. I honestly myself aren't that interested in uber pokemon. I just came up with this team because its one of my favourite pokemon from different teams of mine, and I'd want to see what it'd be like combined.)

What the hell are you talking about. The only synchronicity and overall tactic in pokemon games is the type coverage.

LOL what

seriously, if you think the only tactic in Pokemon is type coverage you pretty much know nothing about Pokemon, and have no right to be so hostile to another member

I called you out because it's ignorant to call Pokemon a "simple game" without having seen competitive online play. This is like saying, "Chess is a simple game and there is nothing more to it than simple tactics, because i beat it on iphone".

I think "What the hell are you talking about" constitutes as hostility.

It's hostile if said in a sharp tone. Unfortunately for me my tone couldn't be heard.
I've beaten many people with the team I listed here via the cable for gameboy ergo I've fought people, I'm not so young.
I simply use "working team" instead of a "cute team" or a "favorite team".
The Pokemon game is simple. You train a certain number of pokemon, collect the badges, win the League, and if you're still up to it you can collect all of the pokemon.
The PvP play has very small room for improvisation. Two people chose a team of 6. They battle 1 on 1 or 2 on 2. The only thing that can secure a victory here is the type advantage.
Of course you'll have pokemon on steroids when going PvP, all stats maxed out, hp and ap maxed out etc.
Snorlax gives you monstrous advantage and takes out at least 1 of your opponent's pokemon before the battle turns into a big pokemon switching dance.

I don't know maybe they invented some "stronger when happy" stat in these new games, I didn't get the chance to play them yet.
There are more good teams, I'm not saying my team is the most ultimate.
To me the game started to get annoying after the gold/silver. Now there are almost 500 pokemon and the game lost it's charm with all the PC emulators.
I've started playing pokemon soon after it got out on the market and spent several years leaning over my gameboy mashing the buttons. I may be old school but I know some things about the game.

Check here: http://www.smogon.com. A lot has chanced since the broken RBY days and competitive pokémon is most definitely not simple. There's also the Battle Frontier in-game, which is quite challenging and requires a lot of knowledge about its different facilities to do well in it (holy carp at that BT record).

With that said, a favorite team doesn't need to be competitive, it's just a favorite team probably comprised of the pokémon you like best. "Best team" on the other hand...I guess we could just post both favorite and best competitive teams, right guys?

This is obviously not the case because all the prominent dragon types are faster than dewgong and can kill it in one shot. It's like saying that Draciel F can beat any attack type because it's a defense type.
