When building a team I usually follow the same pattern {{Ash}} uses, a {{type2|Grass}}, a {{type2|Water}}, a {{type2|Fire}}, a {{type2|Flying}}, a Pokémon that can at least use an {{type2|Electric}} move and a wild card. I favour fast Pokémon overall so you'd rarely see a Pokémon with base speed less than 70 on my team, that Pokémon must also have at least 90 base attack or special attack, I don't care for defence. Finally, that Pokémon must have a base stat total of at least 470. Legendary Pokémon since my Platinum version have been banded from my in-game teams. 9 times out of 10 a Pokémon on my team will know a STAB move for each of its types that are well balanced between Power and Accuracy, staying well clear of negative effects that for example {{m|Overheat}}, {{m|Hyper Beam}} and {{m|Volt Tackle}} have. My favourite moves to have on my team are those that cause Status ailments instantly; {{m|Hypnosis}} for sleep, {{m|Thunder Wave}} for paralysis, {{m|Will-O-Wisp}} for burn, {{m|Confuse Ray}} for confusion and {{m|Toxic}} for bad poison.
