For the pokemon savvy

[PengiKirby]

Woah, guys, sorry for dying but there really isn't much to do and I've been in some funks lately, not to mention school. But, as it is now summer, I -might- have to to do other shtuffs.

For right now, though, I am wanting to replay my Pokemon Firered game :D

Now, however, I am equipped with strategy. Through a few veekun searches, bulbapedia checking and type matching, I am planning on making an okay team and some reliable backup, just in case.

So far, I know who I'm going to find, fairly early. Charmander is my ideal starter, Oddish my HM slave and I will hunt in the Viridian forest for a Pikachu. Now I am in need of a water type and a rock type or ground type to balance out the fire issue and maybe some others for other inconveniences.

Ah, and I probably also want it possible to beat Brock, so maybe some early suggestions?

Please?

I honestly have no clue, sorry :/

You ought to train your Charmander to level 13 so that it can learn Metal Claw; and thus have an easier time handling Brock's pokemon.

Ah, thanks.

I'm sorry, but do you have any good pokemon I should aim for, type-wise? Most teams I put together have huge holes in them.

I've always liked using Sandslash or Rhydon as my ground-types in Kanto. Nidoking/Nidoqueen are pretty good, too. I also reccommend a Dragonite.
