An Empoleon carried me during my first playthrough of Platinum, it was level 58 when i beat the Sunyshore gym.
Shaymin is pretty cool, i just don't like the sky form.I'm remembering back to when I had no actual concept of battling. The main instance that sticks out to me was when Toys R Us had it's Shaymin event, and at the time I was playing through Platinum. I genuinely think I was no farther than the Hearthome Gym when I received Shaymin, and it essentially carried me in tandem with my Infernape. I still had difficulty with Cyrus and Cynthia, and I know that using a mythical was not the...smartest idea on my end, but Shaymin subsequently became my favorite pokemon up until Gen 6.
Other pokemon that have carried were Feraligatr/Typhlosion (GSC/HGSS), Greninja (XY(and subsequently A-Greninja in SM, although XY was one of the most balanced teams I've had to date because Roserade, Raichu, Starmie, and Pidgeot also did WORK)), Swellow (RSE), Staraptor/Luxray (DP), Arcanine/Magnezone (B2W2, this one was unexpected), A-Ninetales (USUM, a welcomed surprise), and Rillaboom/Toxtricity (SwSh). I guess looking at this I realize that I do tend to prioritize my starter, but those instances where I fall in love with and over-utilize a different pokemon are few and far between, but still fun nonetheless.
I used the Sky Form once just for the sake of using it, it just wasn't preferred on my end. I remember spamming Seed Flare and Energy Ball on everything, and I definitely acknowledge that I was somewhat of a n00b, for lack of a better word.Shaymin is pretty cool, i just don't like the sky form.
Ahh yes, i got a very lucky shaymin. It was late when i was starting the Rainbow Rocket episode. Shaymin was from a wonder trade and was a massive help against Archie since both my decidueye, chesnaught and not even Cap Pikachu weren't high enough to handle lvl 60+ water types.I'm remembering back to when I had no actual concept of battling.
