Well if your going to use Bonsly I reccomend EV training it but anyways on a scale 1-10 for your first team 10 its a pretty good variety Back up I give it a 8 unless you EV train bonsly or evolve it but I'm the same way I like Pichu instead of Pikachu

Pretty good. If your using it competitively though, expect to get owned with bonsly.

Pretty good but EV train bonzly so it can compite against ppl i had one and it couldn`t even beat the rival on saturdays being level 99 ¬.¬

I noticed you changed it a little. Don't use palkia if your expecting to use it competitively. Many people frown upon an ub3r's use(Palkia is considered ub3r.)

That, and the fact that you would be considered a n00b...

And teh fact that people take sport in owning 8 year olds with ub3rs...

Seriously though, pwning ubers is fun. I remember pwning that hacked shiny lugia and hacked shiny ho-oh like it was just yesterday...

What the heck is this EV thing I keep hearing about?

(EDIT)

Ev's are basicly bonus points which can be added to any stat.
Here's an example, lets say you have a pikachu and his attack is 126 but you want him to have higher atk, to do this you would need to EV train against a pokemon which gives points to atk, such as starly who gives 1 point to atk.
Once this is done he would have a small amount more attack, though keep in mind you need at least 4 EV points in whatever stat you were hoping to raise for it to have an actual effect on your stats and your total EV points need to be a multiple of 4 (example, lets say 4 EV's gives 1 atk point but you want more much more so you train on starly's till you end up with 6 points this would still leave you with 1 extra atk and you wouldn't get another until you got your points up to 8, this is why you need to keep your points in multiples of 4) the max number of EV's you can include into one stat is 255 and the max you can gain period is 510.
If your pokemon already has its EV's maxed you can lower them using certain berry's.

Also each pokemon has a certan EV point value so you need to find a guide on which pokemon gives which stats. And recording how many EV's your pokemon has is a good idea to stop confusion.

And if you want to further your pokemon's attack even more you'll want to find/breed one with a proper nature, each nature gives a 10% increase and decrease to a certain stat. For pure atk, you would want something like adamant which gives + 10% to atk and - 10% to Spatk. there are also natures which do nothing at all.

here's a natures guide http://www.serebii.net/games/natures.shtml

And before i forget, you may want to learn about IV's as well, though IV's aren't really something you can change without breeding and are only important if you want perfect stats.

Hope that helped Very Happy
