A few days ago, I posted that I wanted all three monkeys in my team. Now I've changed my mind. Looking at the rest of the pokemon, I found so many that I really liked. It was really hard to make a team. This is the team I've come up with so far, but it will probably change when I play the game.

Scrafty - I like his mohawk, and his great defenses.
Bisharp - Dark and Steel is a great combo. Plus, he's got great attack and many resistances.
Conkeldurr - I love fighting types. Conkeldurr is my favorite fighting type of this generation.
Gothitelle - Lady GAGA!!!! just kidding...seriously, I love her design.
Mandibuzz - She has Nasty Plot, Air Slash, and Dark Pulse! On top of that, she looks awesome!!!
Excadrill - He looks like a total badass, and has the stats to back it up.

I would use my starter, but I can't pick one! I'm still a little torn between Serperior and Samurott.

New Gen, Go!
Tepig, Oshawott (from my sister, after the first gym), Blitzle, Drilbur, Timbur, and Zorua, I generally try to avoid any trading until after I beat the game, but I just couldn't decide between those 2 starters, so yeah. :)

Simipour - Gluttony

-Brick Break (Might breed for Nasty Plot after first playthrough).
Surf for STAB. Ice Beam for Grasses and coverage. Grass Knot for other Waters and coverage. Brick Break for more coverage.

Swoobat - Unaware
-Psychic
-Air Slash
-Shadow Ball
-Calm Mind
Calm Mind for boost. Psychic and Air Slash for STAB. Shadow Ball for Ghosts and other Psychics.

Zebstrika - Motor Drive
-Wild Charge
-Overheat
-Thunder Wave
-Return
Wild Charge for STAB. Overheat for coverage. Thunder Wave for crippling. Return for Return.

Darmanitan - Sheer Force

Flare Blitz for ridiculous STAB. The rest for coverage.

Scrafty - Moxie
-Crunch
-Hi Jump Kick

Bulk Up for boost. Crunch and HJK for STAB. Rock Slide for Flyings and coverage.

Item and Nature suggestions appreciated.

All I know is I want to start of with Oshawott, emboar is IMHO one of the ugliest pokemon in history. I want the fossil bird, not sure what it is called though. Many of the pokemon I have an interest for come really late in the game, and their highest evolution is a really high level, probably too high for the elite 4 first time... :(

I'm an indecisive person by nature, and there are so many awesome Gen. V Pokés that I'm kinda dying inside. Just a little. XD So I'll post a few of my ideas.

Cobalion--Serperior--Escavalier--Unfezant--Cofagrigus--Bisharp​

This will probably be my main team after I beat the game. (I say 'probably' because I know I'll alternate a few of these. Plus I'm like, obsessed with Shiny Cobalion.) I always have at least one legend and one starter on tap. Pretty standard. I'm generally a fan of Water-type starters, but Oshawott is kinda... meh. It's cute, but Serperior is win.

Sawsbuck--Reuniclus--Scolipede--Braviary--Haxorus--Golurk​

This just looks awesome to me.

Cobalion--Terrakion--Virizion--Keldeo--Meloetta--Genesect​

Ah, yes, The infamous all-legend team. Mind, half of these guys are event-only, so I'll have to work hard to complete this sextet. But it will be so, so worth it in the end. Until then, I'll be subbing Zekrom, Victini, and Thundurus for Keldeo, Meloetta, and Genesect.

Will most likely post again with more team ideas.

does anyone have a good plan for a vanilluxe moveset? I got hail and ice beam/blizzard, but the movepool is shallow but I still need ice attacks pre-ice beam tm

Okay, here's my Planned Black Team:

Reasons


Emboar - Starter, and I like the Fire Type Starters
Floatzel - One of my favorite Pokemon, you do realize your team doesn't have to be all Generation5 Pokemon, right?
Zoroark - I'll be getting it from the Event, and it seems pretty cool, so I want to use it.
Archeops - Very interesting Pokemon, and I need a flying type
Beartic - Haven't really been using an Ice Type, so this one seems pretty good
Golurk - I really like this Pokemon, and I haven't really used Ghost Types, either.

Vanilluxe could be good tank with both its defense and sp defense being above average and it also learns taunt and acid armor along with hail which means it gets a health boost regularly and then use the last move for something like ice beam or blizzard

Right now I'm playing the dirty R word, but my team so far is:

Dewott
Gothitelle's first form
Tranquil
Scraggy
Simisear
Leavanny

More details:
Dewott is a really good Pokémon but he's not getting much action. His main moves are Scald and Shell Blade. Took out 2/3 in Clay's gym.
Gothitelle's first form is doing pretty good despite being a newer member. Gotten some good battles. She'll mostly get wild battles for training. Good help against the Fighting E4.
Tranquil is surprisingly doing very well with his few moves. Not going to be much help in the future.
Scraggy is beastly. He destroys everything.
Simisear just sucked getting to level 22. You have to be committed if you want Bursting Flame.

I've decided I'm going to try and train all of the pokemon I like, not just 6 for my team. I got the idea from my first file on platinum.

Vanilluxe is not gonna be 'tanking' very much as an Ice-type with one resistance. Though, Acid Armor does help. For mine I'm probably using Ice Shard, Ice Beam/Blizzard, Acid Armor, Flash Cannon. Hail doesn't really do enough to warrant a moveslot unless something else on your team is benefitting from it as well (which doesn't really apply to any other Unovan Pokemon).

Vanillite learns Ice Beam at the same level it evolves, anyhow. So you'll be set for that.
