Pokemon: the best tips for a good team

The most important thing in the Pokemon game is a good team. Therefore, in this practical tip, we will tell you various tips and tricks and give you tips on what makes a good team stand out.

Tip 1: Bring different Pokemon types to the team

There are currently 18 different types of Pokemon. It can happen in a duel that some Pokemon are superior to others. Therefore, you should equip your team with 6 different types so that you have the right Pokemon with you against every opponent. Since every arena or area also has a special poke type, you should align your team accordingly. For example, take as many water Pokemon as possible when playing against the floor arena ladder of Orania-City. The following rules apply to other types:

• "Fire" type Pokémon are particularly strong compared to "Ice", "Plant", "Beetle" and "Steel" type Pokémon.
• Pokémon of the type "water" are superior to the types "fire", "ground" and "rock".
• Pokemon of the type "ice" are particularly effective against Pokemon of the types "plant", "ground", "flight" and "dragon".
• Use ground Pokemon against "Fire", "Electric", "Poison", "Rock" and "Steel" opponents.
• Plant Pokémon should be used against the Water, Soil, and Rock types.
• "Flight" type Pokémon, on the other hand, are particularly strong compared to "Plant", "Combat" and "Beetle" type Pokémon.
• Tip: Start with the Fire Pokemon when asked. Since you are allowed to keep it, you will have no difficulty in the fight as you go. You will find mostly beetle and plant Pokemon in the tall grass.
• The rare steel Pokemon have the fewest weaknesses compared to the other Pokemon types. Only Fire, Ground, and Combat Pokémon do double damage - but they mostly equalize with a high defense value.

Tip 2: Use items for Pokemon

There are many different items that you will find throughout your coaching career. You can give many of them to your Pokemon. They get stronger or get various bonuses in your fights. So don't let the items simmer in the bag, but put them in:

• With the "energy herb" you can carry out attacks such as "flying" without preparation. So you attack with full force within a round!
• "Sharpclaw" increases the hit rate of the carrier Pokemon.
• "Sharp Tooth" increases the chance that the opposing Pokémon will shrink. This is particularly advantageous against strong opponents.
• There are many other items that can vary from edition to edition. It is best to read the description of each item and decide whether it is worth giving the item to a Pokemon.
