My team for Pokemon Black

Cobalion (Steel/Fighting)
Gyrados (Dragon/Water)
Hydreigon (Dark/Dragon)
Reshiram (Dragon/Fire)
Victini (Fire/Psychic)
Virizion (Grass/Fighting)

However when I get the next two I will remove Gyrados and I think Cobalion.

Kyurem (Ice/Dragon)
Landoros (Ground/Flying)

My dream team (If I could take all my strongest pokemon from all my games) would be

Arceus (Normal-Diamond/Pearl)
Dialga (Steel/Dragon-Diamond)
Ho-oh (Fire/Flying-Gold)
Mewtwo (Psychic-Blue/Red)
Kyurem (Ice/Dragon-Black)
Zekrom (Dragon/Electric-White)

Lot's of strong Pokemon in Gen IV and V, very few in Gen III.

My team was a lot like that before I decided to rebuild! I had 4 Pokemon with a dragon type (Dragonite, Haxorus, Hydreigon, Reshiram) and I was getting owned by Ice types. Is Kyurem really good? I caught him (and Tornadus, Cobalian) just yesterday but I haven't thought about using any of them. I'm not sure how the whole Dragon/Ice thing works out for Kyurem. Is he still weak to Ice given that he's a dragon or does the Ice type override that?

Also, I think you need both Thunderus and Tornadus to get Landorus.. I need someone to trade me a Thunderus. Boy am I glad I made this thread

My dream team would probably be (off the top of my head... I'm not too familiar with the Pokemon after Gen 2)

Giratina
Mewtwo (or Mew)
Arceus
Articuno (or Kyurem)
Volcarona
...Squirtle

Kyurem is not weak to Ice, and is about as good as the legendary dragon pokemon on Black/Whites cover. He feels like the "Pokemon Gray" Dragon cover to me, that is unless they introduce someone completly new. Also Reshiram is not weak to Ice either as he is part fire.

Landorus, Hydregion, and Virizion are the ones weak to Ice, but Dragon type attacks are more worrysome to my guys then Ice. However when I battle people I always have Victini, Cobalion (strong defence againt ice), and Reshiram to take down an ice type.

As for Landaros, I have a friend who has Pokemon White, while I have Black. I'll get him when we both have some time off.

Check out a website called Pokemondb, they give stats for all pokemon as well as moves learned, where to catch them, and a strength rating. Not sure what the rating system is, but I've seen other websites use the same system with the same numbers, so I assume it's something Nintendo gives out.

Anyway I'll be done with Pokemon Black soon, my next game to beat is Pokemon Gold/Silver.

P.S. When some Pokemon events come out, I will change my party. There is a Pokemon called Genesect who is Bug/Steel. He has no weakness except Fire which is 2x Super Effective. Meloetta is also only weak to Bug and Dark. Keldo is the last event type who is Water/Fighting. Not a particularly strong Pokemon, but about the same level as Cobalion. I'll consider him as well as I don't have any solid water types to take out fire and ground pokemon.
