1. Scyther ('my Pikachu', combines speed with attack)
2. Charizard (shiny, outsider, my powerhouse, 'balloon popper')
3. Alakazam (really smart, incredible Psychic attacks)
4. Golem (brute strength/defense, comical personality)
5. Walrien (friendly, 'my Lapras', used more for defense)
6. Manectric (young and naive, not quite the strongest but good range of speed and electric attacks)
