Reg I Team Review: Johto Showdown Set
Join CommunitySummary
This Pokémon Champions forum discussion centers on a review of a user's "Reg I Team" based on the team used by the character Ethan from the Johto region. Initial feedback pointed out that the team was missing restricted Pokémon, noted Ampharos's low speed, and suggested alternatives for Scizor and Tyranitar. The original poster clarified the team was meant to replicate Ethan's in-game team, leading to some lighthearted banter about Ethan's skill before the user began making revisions to the team...

you’re missing your two restricted pokemon, and Amp has low base speed so it’s gonna be out sped
Oh really?
Yes, Amp is so slow
your team also doesn’t have any sort of speed control
and tbh if you’re gonna use scizor, you’re better off using Scyther with eviolite bc they don’t have much difference in their stats
same with Tyranitar
he’s slow
Bro, This is the Team Ethan owns in the Johto Region
Bro,
you said this is your regulation I team
I know this is my Regulation Letter I Team but i'm reminding you that this is the team that Ethan owns in the Johto Region
Ethan is ass
sorry
I can help you fix it
Ethan gon need to learn the way of the lugia to stay in theme haha
if the goal is just to have his team
Atleast Ethan has a heart of gold
Ethan also has negative Elo
pretty sure i beat ethan with only my starter when i played HGSS
Ethan is a boy with a heart of gold
I’ll fix it

Crazy I thought choice scarf on typohlosion too
W
?
Try choice scarf the typhlosion
Okay I'll try then it's back to Choice Specs the Typhlosion
With him since he isn’t the fastest Mon like torkoal is the actual slowest. Best way to get that sure eruption would be scarf
Also donaphan ended up evolving I believe :p
Iron something lol or whatever its name is
Tusk
Actually Phanpy only has 1 evolution
And Phanpy evolves into Donphan
Where does iron tusk or that other dude come from
Theirs like two donaphan looking paradox mons haha

bro didn’t appreciate my team
Hahaha braxton seems to love these themed teams I’ll try get him around to tweaking them into being abit more meta haha
What changes have you made sir
What changes?
Wel
Well suggested changes to improve your team
what changes have you implemented
I haven't changed my Regulation Letter I team yet
You should
It’s important that you change your team around so it helps it’s weakness
Especially since Reg F allows 2 restricted mons, you’re already at a disadvantage
i can help you fix it bro, just ask 🙂
Even the top trainers in the world consult others for advice
help me hone my Reg F teams to be so good I got to masterball tier
^
That’s just logi
Imma be honest with you, friend. Youre team is holding you back.
I think you could perform a lot better with better coverage
Yes, prior to our battle Entoma actually swept my original team like 3 times
and i had to adjust my strategy and trade out some mons to fix my weaknesses
Please let us help 🙏🏻
Fine
Ok, how much of your team are you willing to swap for different mons?
I'll have to think about that one!
You’re an E4 member
we got to get you ready to defend
so put that thinking into overdrive !
Your an Elite 4 member too Koxicity
Just so you know
Yeah my team beat yours
😎
i think we boot gara for Inc
better pivot potential, as well as Parting Shot, and fake out prio 😒
I'll have to think about swaapping pokemon
Those pokemon aren’t your friends bro. this ain’t the anime
it’s about winning
i fucking hate indee, but i know she is the best mon to sup my team
i also hate both the legendaries for SH but i know that i needed more coverage, and a good physical attacker
Yeah, i loved sylveon, but she ducked in comparison

Leave.
son
stop ignoring me
What is it
what do you mean
I’m tryna make your team better
I'll have to try that team out when i have the chance
🤦🏼
that’s it buddy.
Ok i'll use it
Winnie Hut Jr’s is that way 👉🏻
good boy
use it now
no way you’re busy at this time of night, i need to know what the team needs improved on
SOB
I know what i'm doing
No tf you do not
I want to help you
I'm putting the moves on six pokemon
Brother
you made a reg I team with 0 restricted mobs
they gonna eat you alive
You posted the team i'm using now
What’s your opening strategy with it
My opening strategy?
🤦🏼
are you fucking serious
Like, what’s your plan for a traditional lead?
typically i go for Indee and Caly-S
I go for koraidon and iron hands
honestly you should for Torn first
or flutter
she will get a boost bc Koraidon sets up sun
wait
i didn’t put flutter in

trade this for iron hands
They’re saying how flutter will be on every team like incin
His pretty useful he doesn’t just nuke . Also speed control with icy wind
would help if you don’t really need TWc
Focus sash so it can live a hit from caly shadow then return a shadowball haha
Yessir
might get rid of torn for another TW setter tho
just depends on what he says
how’s the team so far
We see whimsicott is in the line up I think
Would be good to practise with it
you don’t need to put moves on then bc i sent the sheet
Doin good so far
send replays
How do i send replays?
when you finish the battle you click “upload replay” and it gives you a link
copy and paste the link
There my Regulation I team is built
ok
battle with it
and send replays
Best of 3 or no?
It says that i have more than 1 focus sash
true
I'm gonna go to bed because my dad wants me to go to bed
take it off of caly, and give something
bro how old are you?
Twenty three
ah
tell him to fuck off
Hahahahaha
Don’t do that braxton
He will give you a upper cut
https://tenor.com/view/uppercut-gif-26076667
Bro i would never tell my dad to fudge off because he lives here
you could give it the life orb, and give choice band to exadrill
yeah so do you.
no actually the clear amulet
