6 of a kind
Which mons would you recommend having 6 of? How would you rank them in their importance, their advantage over the next best option and regarding future mons who could overtake them in their role? For example having 6 Golem against those legendary birds was huge since their performance was unique.
Answers
Any that are the optimal pick for something you really care about accomplishing. Ranking them is hard because most of their worth is subjective. 6 Machamp is optimal for shortmanning Tyranitar. 6 Exeggutor is optimal for soloing Omastar. 6 Raikou will be optimal for maximizing damage balls against Kyogre. That said, one mon in particular stands out:
Tyranitar. There are numerous likely future raids where it will be top counter and its high stat total and lack of relevant challengers in its types make a 6 Tyranitar team likely to be a long-lasting investment with significant returns over the years.
EDIT: Attack mons I have teams of 6 or more: Tyranitar, Machamp, Golem, Dragonite, Rhydon, Exeggutor, Vaporeon, Jolteon, Flareon, Espeon, Gengar. Used to also have 6 Cloyster for the old gym meta.
I'm trying to have the more Pokemon with different movesets as possible. Here are mine:
Nidoking and Crobat - I think thay can be good in the future against Fairy
Alakazam
Machamp
Golem
Kingler - I believe he will get a good moveset in the future
Exeguttor
Rhydon
Pinsir
Gyarados
Eevolutions (Vaporeon, Jolteon, Flareon 'n Espeon)
Snorlax
Dragonite
Scizor
Heracross
Donphan
Tyranitar - For me, one of the most important. I'm keeping 10 and will search for 14 or 16 (6 B/C and 6 B/Se, the rest are for possible moveset changes)
Thanks everyone! I decided to go 4 deep first and level those up before extending my lineups to 6! Just maxed out my first Machamp, have 2 others at lvl 35,5 and one at 31,5 all with C/DP. A fifth Machamp would be available at lvl 20 with KC/DP but will go over to Golem first and power up my top 4. After that will shift to Tyranitar where I still wait for one or two worth maxing (>93%) and then Rhydon.
