What is a good team for pokemon Soul Silver?

Before I do this, I have to say something. Picking your starter is a difficult choice in this generation. Here is why:

Picking Typlosion gives you a pokemon with good stats... But a terrible move pool (Your gonna end up with 2+ fire moves). However, Fire types are rare if you plan on using one, and a good portion of them lack stats or move pools.

Picking Feraligatr is a good choice. He has good stats and a passable move pool. However, there are so many good water types out there, some that just outright are better then him. He is clearly the best starter, but using him will make you miss out on many great pokemon

Picking Meganium is somewhat the middle ground of the 2. She is bulky with good stats and a decent support option. There are better grasses, but not that many, and she can hold her grounagainstst most of them.

So, here are teams for each of the starters based on what you choose. This is just a suggestion by the way, as there are countless options for teams out there. Location of pokemon are included, as are movesets without TMs (I've met plenty of people who dont like to use TMs).

--Team 1--

Typlosion (given at start) ~ Eruption, Focus Blast, Double-edge, and Flamethrower

I cannot explain the * in depth because my answer is too long. But * means stone evolution and ** means wierd evoltution. You have to evolve some of these at specific times, however, which you will have to look up on Serebii or something.

All the starters are great! I would choose any of them. I chose Typhlosion so I'll base the team off my team except a bit different.
