You know... given it is so easy to breed pokemon it is a wonder there are any endangered ones.

Heck it isn't like Pokémon have an issue with being domesticated, pokemon survive just well be rereleased into the wild.

Lapras.

Pokéarth confirmed as canon.

Sweet.

EDIT: I'm putting together a team. I was thinking that I wanted a Metagross, a Salamence, and a Swampert to be on it, but I'm unsure what else would be good.

Ideas? I'm terrible at team-building.

Jeez, I hope they asked permission before grabbing some dude's image off the Internet. Doesn't sound like they did though.

Jeez, I hope he asked permission before stitching together some game company's images off the internet. Doesn't sound like he did though.

Type-wise, you have a pretty balanced team. It looks like a rather offensive team, but you could probably use a really fast Pokemon. Dragon Dance can let Salamence get pretty fast, but something innately fast would be good. If you're looking to stick to native Hoenn pokemon, you could go with Starmie, Manectric, Alakazam, Absol, or maybe Crobat. Mega Metagross/Salamence/Manectric are really fast too, if you're looking for items.

One thing I"m wondering is which of those you want to Mega.  I don't remember the last time I saw any of them non-mega. 

I'm using a Lopunny/Greninja team right now.  Lopunny's a lot of fun and greninja kicks ass too.  I kind of want to name them TAK and YON but FIGHT BUNE and KICK FISTO are even better.

[umiman]

Lopunny is so disgusting with its scrappy high jump kick and return.

[Cthulhu]

Don't forget fake out.

Mega gallade can eat the fake out and close combat her down but you have to be on the ball.  If you have to switch onto the fakeout she'll probably kill you next turn.

[Neonivek]

Lapras.

And Lapras has a large breeding list.

[Cthulhu]

I feel like voltturn reliance is getting out of hand.

I just had a guy forfeit turn 2 because his lando had initiative.

[Aklyon]

voltturn reliance?

[Cthulhu]

Volt Switch and U-Turn, damage the enemy and switch.  They let you do some residual damage while staying mobile and if you voltturn a switch-in you get a free switch after the enemy switches (So a guaranteed favorable matchup which will probably force another switch)

When done right you maintain momentum and pressure, forcing the enemy to react rather than act while steadily racking up residual damage from entry hazards.  It's always been an important thing and Lando-T/Rotom-W have always been the classic voltturn combo but new threats (Talonflaaaaaame) have made the Rotom/Lando voltturn show up on pretty much every team and quit ea few of the games I've played have been voltturn grapples for most of the match until somebody gets into a position that they can start killing.

I'm also seeing a lot of really obnoxious hard stall teams lately.

[umiman]

There's no problem in this game that shell smash into baton pass cannot solve.

Other than roar.

And whirlwind.

And taunt.

And priority thunder wave. And light screen / reflect. And unaware. And trick. And switcharoo. And priority destiny bond.

[Cthulhu]

So many teams I see are just stupid-ass gimmicks that fall apart if you whack them in the right spot.  Baton pass ninjask, extreme stall.

I had a hundred+ turn game once with a resttalk Milotic.  I was so happy when I won.

Oh, and in case that explanation didn't fully elucidate.  The game I had we both dropped our scarf lando-T like every single game, we both used U-Turn, and he went first, switching Heatran.  I went Rotom-W

He forfeited.  Welcome to ORAS
