Pokemon Platinum
Honestly this team steamrolled the entire game, especially once I got all 6 together *mostly* fully evolved around the crasher wake fight.
Neptune the Empoleon was the jack of all trades, above average stats all around
Marte the Staraptor was a speed demon with insanely high attack, 1hko-ing most after outspeeding everyone but cynthias garchomp.
Buzz the Heracross hit hard and swept Candice and Mt Coronet, was huge against Mars' Purugly in the double battle
Proton the Magnezone was a tank that ate super effective hits like a champ and zapped Cyrus' crobat and Gyrados
Chomper the Garchomp created carnage whenever the rest of the team needed help. STAB earthquake is honestly just unfair
But honestly the real MVP of this team was Pepper the Drapion. In the few weeks of this playthrough, nobody came up clutch like she did. Her defense just swallowed up pretty much any move. I think she fainted twice in the whole back half of the game. She had a really good attack stat too. Boosted by accupressure, with STAB crunch just out muscled EVERYTHING. Without Pepper I dont beat Cynthia. She tanked that Garchomp and set up toxic and held off long enough for the rest of the team to survive the fight. Every big fight Pepper was the central piece. Shes been my ace for the Battle Frontier so far, I have 2 silvers.
This might be my favorite team Ive ever used, but honestly what I take out of it the most is how much new found love I have for Drapion, that beautiful scorpion
