A balanced team is crucial for overcoming the diverse challenges of the Kalos region. Aim for several Pokémon types to ensure you have super effective moves against most opponents. Consider having a mix of physical and special attackers, as well as a Pokémon that can inflict status conditions or set up entry hazards. Don't forget about defensive Pokémon to absorb hits. Experiment with different combinations and use the Exp. Share to keep your entire team leveled up.
