[And here comes captain competitive himself. Battle talk is always relevant to his interests, especially as a longtime trainer.
So hmm, where to start. He rubs his chin for a second. Well, sometimes the basics work best.]
I'm guessing I don't have to talk about type balance. Still, I'd say types are just half of the equation. You also want to go with Pokémon that have different skill sets.
[So for example....]
Let's say you've got something like a Jolteon. Fast, powerful special attacks. Problem is, they're glas cannons and can't take many hits. To balance that out, you'd want something a bit bulkier, like a Slowbro, Slowking, or Blastoise. Solid defenses, and they cover that ground weakness.
As for which Pokémon do best, it depends on how much you care about movesets. Bred Pokémon have the advantage of egg moves, but you can usually compensate with TM's for any Pokémon you've captured.
