-2 starters you are given that cover each other's weakness -1 pokemon with sleep powder/ thunder wave/ false sweep (so you can catch pokemon easier) -1 dragon/steel/fairy/ghost pokemon -1 flying pokemon (for fly) -1 pokemon that has flame body so you hatch eggs easier(this pokemon can even fill the role for fly) -1 hm slave (for all the garbage moves like cut, strength, rock smash, etc) This team is for convenience, not strength
Basically all you need is a good type distribution/movepool and a mix of physical and special attackers. I always have a fire, grass, and water core. (I sometimes replace grass with electric), Fighting types are great to have.
