If it weren't for type balance, my team'd be a little diff. too, oh well

My team would be WAY different if it wasn't for type balance. Why do so many of the Pokémon I like have to be weak to ground?!

Steel just isn't as good as it once was.

Fighting Types may have gotten better in Gen 5, but it's not like Dragons stopped existing.
EDIT: Actually, if Pokémon was real, I'd have a rotating team with Empoleon as the only staple. But mostly I'd just stick with what I'm currently using to play against my friends with:

That manga is pretty darn weird.

fuckin' called it, man
Well if Pokemans were real you'd really just need
1. A dude/s who can get around places with Surf/Waterfall/Fly etc.
2. A dude who can FSU
So one of these to get around with
and
one of these to fight and shit and sleep under when I'm tired if it's raining or something.

Poisons will still be second rate if the type chart stays the same.

It's also highly intelligent. I'm sure it can figure out what's prey and what's it's trainer.

It is a ruthless killing machine.
You should watch your back.
All the more reason for it to figure out it is a slave and rebel.

I always imagine myself trying to find a Psychic-type to put on my "real world" team, but those are my favorites just coming off the anime.

Nah if you treat a Pokemon with love and tender care then they will love you in return
Question!
If Groudon comes out with Drought and Kyogre comes out with Drizzle in the same battle... Which weather-changing move takes priority?
Also, it seems Groudon would go well with Reshiram and Kyogre would go well with Zekrom, correct? Groudon's Drought would halve water damage to itself, boost both its Fire moves and those of Reshiram, and allow each to use Solarbeam in one turn. And Kyogre's Drizzle would boost Water moves and make Zekrom's Bolt Strike hit 100% of the time -- or does the accuracy boost only apply to Thunder?
I'm on a legendary kick lately and I love the designs of those four, lol.

10 different Poison/Bug Pokemons. All of them with BST below 400.
Alternative answer: Poison pseudo-
pseudo-legendary
On the topic of dream team:
Yes, all of them are shiny because I'm a stupid person.

Depends on their speed. I think the slowest one has their effect happen (since logically, the faster one activates their weather effect, then the slower one activates theirs, overriding the first). I could be wrong, since it's been a while since I've used them.
Rain only gives an accuracy boost to Hurricane and Thunder.
OK, I did some research -- tell me if this is right:
Say Groudon and Kyogre switch in the same turn. Whichever Pokemon is slower, is the Pokemon whose weather ability takes precedence. So if Kyogre is slower, it's Drizzle; if Groudon, it's Drought.
Then the prevailing weather ability lasts the entire time its Pokemon is in play, or for five turns after its Pokemon is defeated/switched out, UNLESS:
A) Another weather move is activiated, such as Rain Dance, Sunny Day, etc
OR
B) Groudon or Kyogre switches out and is switched back in, their weather ability taking over when they switch in
Correct? For Uber-tier battles, it seems Reshiram and Groudon would work well together, the latter using Drought to halve Water damage to itself, boosting Reshiram's Blue Flare, and allowing both to wield one-turn Solarbeams...

Everything but the 5 turn thing - once it starts, the only way to stop it is to change the weather through another weather move (Sandstorm, Hail or the opposite #) or another perma-setter.

Just to be clear, let's say Kyogre comes out at the start of the battle and sets Drizzle. If Groudon switched in halfway through the battle, his Drought would supplant Kyogre's Drizzle, right? Just like if you had used Sunny Day, only it will last the whole battle -- unless Kyogre switches out and switches back in. And so on. Correct?
I'm dreaming of an Ubers team and quite like the idea of a Drought-abusing Reshiram... Not to mention Reshiram and Groudon both have awesome designs, and nicely contrasting ones, for that matter.

Sweet picture by Arkeis over at DeviantArt. Made me realize Palkia might go with a Drizzling Kyogre just like Reshiram goes with a Drought-inducing Groudon.
that is a phenomenal pic
i'm going to save that and use it as my desktop
Absolutely correct.

That's an insult to good propaganda.
Crawdaunt? ...Crawdaunt?My Cloyster was EV trained in Attack and Speed and had perfect IVs. My Scrafty was EV trained in Attack and Speed and had perfect Special Defense and Speed IVs. My Togekiss was EV trained in HP and had no perfect IVs. To answer your second question, since one point in a stat can mean the difference between victory and failure, they definitely matter a lot. Also, word of advice; never use a move that has even the slightest chance of missing, because it will. Every. Single. Time.
Here's what my team would be if I were in the Pokémon world:
Guess what my favourite type is.
Scrafty, you son of a BITCH.
Damn good taste. I fucking love you forever. Not enough people love the almighty Crawdaunt.

Hm, actually, Scrafty rolls off the tongue better.
At any rate, I love Dark-types, too, but lately I've developed a real fondness for Steel-types. In particular:
If only Magnezone had Levitate...
