Friend spun up a Pixelmon server so now it is time for me to consider team comp! This has been further complicated by an open-ended invitation to pick my own starter, with the only restrictions being "like, no legendaries or shit, because c'mon man" which: fair.
...
This is so hard tho.
Pixelmon specifically means I'm in the alternate version of the ol' HM Hell labeled Mount Hell: I need something that can fly on my team! And ideally something that runs real fast! And a swimmer, if I can manage it, although telling everyone else that fossil acquisition is a THEM problem will never not be an option. (Why aren't scuba-suit mods less buggy and more available? >:( )
Currently eyeballing a 5/6 Bug team with the last slot as a non-Bug who can deal with anti-Bug problems safely. (I enjoyed near-monotype in PLA, I'll do it again!!)
• PROS: Bugs cool. Also Bugs sucked sososo bad before gen 5 so the list of viable candidates is short and requires less theorycrafting!
• CONS: Still have to limit myself to 6 total... ideally stuff that will not be a nightmare to get/train... with good type coverage AND good "overworld" features...
• CON++: The only reasonable False Swipe pick for a Bug team is Leavanny and the voice acting for Pixelmon Leavanny is second only to Pixelmon Binacle.
