Soul Silver Team Kanto Region

[azeem40]

I am playing Soul Silver and wanted to know if my team is good. I also need help on my sixth Pokemon, if there is a need to get one. One thing is that I cannot change the Nature, but suggest any item for them to hold if there is a better one.

Typhlosion @ l53
Nature: Timid
Item: Amulet Coin
Moves:
Flamethrower
Swift
Quick Attack
Flame Wheel

Togekiss @ l53
Nature: Lonely
Item: Expert Belt
Moves:
Aura Sphere
Air Slash
Extrasensory
Wish

Gengar @ l53
Nature: Timid
Items: Choice Scarf
Moves:
Destiny Bond (Filler)
Shadow Ball
Thunder
Focus Blast

Lapras @ l53
Nature: Hardy
Items: Leftovers
Moves:
Surf
Ice Beam
Body Slam
Safeguard

Golem @ l53
Nature: Relaxed
Items: Choice Band
Moves:
EQ
Stone Edge
Double-Edge
Explosion

I have beaten Erica, Lt. Surge, Sabrina, and Janine, and am at Fuchsia City.
Thanks!

Togekiss replace extrasensory with thunder wave to flinch hax or body slam which will also cause paralysis (since he is lonely it should have decent attack).

Gengar replace thunder with thunder bolt and instead of destiny bond you can use energy ball. I wouldn't use choice scarf its fast as hell already. Wise glasses or life orb.

Lapras, Thunder bolt over body slam and I preffer psychic as my fourth move but if you want to use body slam or safeguard its fine.

Golem I think if you can would benefit from fire punch if you can get it, replace explosion.

I cannot get T-Bolt TM until I get into Cerulean Cave. How do I get Fire Punch? Is T-Wave a move tutor? Choice Scarf helps against the many speed reducers in the game. I could replace with Choice Specs or Wise Glasses though. How about Expert Belt?

What about my sixth Pokemon? I want to make the game a bit more challenging. Is making a second team fun (in the same playthrough)?

[EvilTyranitar]

Typhlosion should run
-flamethrower
-focus blast
-thunderpunch
-shadow claw
Maybe have it hold expert belt?

Do you have some idea of what you want for your 6th slot? Like something powerful, or bulky, or something else?

[azeem40]

I am not sure what I want. I was thinking of maybe Machamp?

[azeem40]

And I gave Typhlosion Brick Break, Sunny Day, Solarbeam, and Flamethrower.

[Aura Sensai]

Leftovers > Band on Golem , for some staying power.

[azeem40]

I will make all the changes suggested soon enough, but some will take time like the Battle Frontier TMs. Is my last Pokemon ponder good?

[EvilTyranitar]

I don't see anything wrong with a machamp. Just make sure it has No Guard for its ability and you teach it dynamic punch.

[Aura Sensai]

And then you can use Payback / Stone Edge / DynamicPunch / Earthquake.

swap togekiss Aura Sphere for Thunder Wave, as it is a better choice for togekiss. also, swap Typhlosion's Swift and Quick Attack for Shadow Claw and SolarBeam/Grass Knot. i'd also suggest swapping Flame Wheel for Sunny Day, as it boosts Flamethower/Eruption (either fire move you choose, they're both good, but with advantages and disadvantages) and SolarBeam, and also SolarBeam/Grass Knot cover all Typhlosions weaknesses. also, for a sixth pokemon, could i suggest maybe a good sinnoh sweeper. Lucario is a good choice. i just re-checked your Typhlosions moveset and think you made a good desicision. i also agree with Koosbane's choices, except maybe the Golem move as once you know it has expired, you may as well take the whole ship down with it as well other than that i think you've got a strong team going.

[azeem40]

I have T-Wave, Roost, Air Slash and Aura Sphere for Togekiss. Thanks everyone. Guess this is answered. I will just experiment with different Pokemon and start a new run.
