Raising a Good Team - Guide for Pokemon Crystal

Remember in a well-rounded team you should cover a pokemon's weakness with another 
pokemon in your party.  Dual type Pokemon(such as Poison/Ghost Ghastly) are 
nice 'cause you add more types your team is good against, but it also adds 
weaknesses to your team as well.  Try not to include more than 2 dual type pokemon 
in your roster unless they have very few weaknesses like Kingdra who is only bad 
against Dragon types.  The team shown below covers all weaknesses and has plenty of 
types it can take out.

While this team doesn't look like much, it can crush anything in its path if used 
the right way and given the proper items to hold, such as a magnet for Typhlosion or 
a Miracleberry for Clefable.  If you want to see my true team or have any questions, 
e-mail me at [email protected].  Who knows, I may even learn something from 
you.  Hope you liked this and become better Pokemon trainers!
