If you could only take 12 mons with you...

Very interesting Q. Took me a while to choose. As I only do legendary raids right now (used to solo tier3 raids a lot) and attacking gym and trying to hold them is my daily mission in order to get as much golen badge as possible. Here is my answer for now. (Can t believe i left all my dragonites back lol)
Some of those mons I chose were not really the best, but for sentimental reasons:
Zapdos: Team bird. And my first legendary with very high IV. I was really excited when I saw the very high CP back then.
Dragonite CP3001: My first Dragonite. It got the best moveset back then (DB/DC), and I only knew it was that good about a month later.
Dragonite CP3175: My second Dragonite. It got DB/HB at first, and I powered her up to 3k+ to squeeze into the (non-existent) stagnant gyms. Back then I didn’t know there were no stagnant gyms in Singapore, I just thought they exist in remote areas and I just haven’t found them. Well, the higher CP did help in allowing my Dragonite to last a few minutes longer in medium level gyms while I went to take more gyms. TMed to DB/H with my first ever CTM, then to DB/O last month.
Snorlax: One of my gym defenders in the old system. The gym system here wasn’t like most placed with stagnant gyms, players had to run between gyms at clusters of 3-4 gyms, to get more coins. I usually placed a bunch of Snorlax, and this one was my highest CP one and my only ZH/BS one. Still my best IV ZH/BS one.
Exeggutor: Part of my squad of 5 Exeggutors, used to take down Blisseys in the old gym system. This one was the only one with C/SoB, the other 4 had ZH/SoB and E/SoB. All the others have been TMed to BS/SoB now.
