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.

Machamp, hands down. With DP (probably the best move in the current meta), he's more than useful in many situations. VS Blissey, Snorlax, T-tar, Lapras...

This is my current personal goal, I already have 5 lvl 30+ and looking for the 6th one with great IVs.

Nice! I have 4 Machamp powered up already and two waiting to get some dust (one with KC). I also have 4 Tyranitar, 4 Rhydon and 4 Golem. Who would you power up after Machamp?

I started out with 6 Machamps, then 6 Golems (rock), 6 Tyranitaurs and 6 Rhydons (ground). I guess all them are very good in their respective niche and will keep being that in the future.

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.

Most of the teams have 1-2 maxed out or over 30 with the rest being about L30. Machamps are probably the strongest with 1 L39, 1 L37, 1 L36,5. Have the resources to upgrade these teams significantly but don't have much reason to.

Tyranitar with Bite/Crunch. Tyranitar with Bite/Stone Edge. Machamp with Counter/Dynamic Punch. Golem with Rock Throw/Stone Edge (although that might change with Gen3). Exeggutor with Confusion or Extrasensory or Bullet Seed/Solar Beam.

Champ
TTar
Raikou

In that order.

Golem is too big of a risk
Dragonite is too general
Mewtwo is obvious but too rare.

Exeggutor would probably be 4th

Exeggutor is a bit of a risk before gen 3 is out. Sceptile could very well get access to a better moveset (like a good fast move+Leaf Blade) which would put it above Eggy in DPS.

I agree with your statement but don't think Eggy is at risk of being outclassed overall in Gen 3. I think the first real threat is Tangrowth in Gen 4. If Celebi launches with grass moves, it'd be a risk as well.

The only mon I'd max 6 of are champ and TTar regardless.

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)

Somebody somewhere caught their 6th 100 Suicune, all with different powers...but this is not a joking board. I did catch a 100 electric today...might max it to 2000 soon;)

That person spends too much money/time playing Pokemon Go.

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.
