Sceptile - Grass (Mega Sceptile - Grass/Dragon) - Seed Bomb It also creates free turns for Mega Swampert with its slow U-turn and by baiting in Electric-types such as Zapdos and Tapu Koko. Leaf Blade- Good power, STAB Swords Dance: Good for setting up. - Endeavor - Strength. Weezing is underrated, Im glad you added it onto the team. - Earthquake: TM26 from Seafloor Cavern beneath Route 128. - Surf / Dive as it is needed for the story mode. - Ice Beam / Frost Breath Overheat- Great power, STAB Your choice of Ralts evolution. There is also a lot of water in Hoenn, so you'll probably battle a lot of trainers with Water Pokemon in the game as well. Make sure to use the Move Relearner on Gardevoir to get Moonbast. Swampert and Mega Swampert: Swampert is a good all-round Pokemon for the ingame of ORAS, and has considerable defences and attack in its Mega Form. Swampert (Pokmon GO) - Best Movesets, Counters, Evolutions and CP Magnezone @ Magnet Ability: Guts - Rock Smash He has high defenses and Attack so make sure you have physical hits if you swap any moves out. Swampert's favorite teammates include defensive Roserade, as it 4x resists Grass-type attacks and can set up Spikes that make Swampert a pain to switch into; Rhyperior, for setting up Stealth Rock and defeating Flying-type Pokemon reliably; and Flying-type Pokemon, such as Togekiss and Zapdos, to take Grass-type hits and build momentum for I hear Froslass is bad because it requires babying a weak Snorunt for a long time. - Ice Punch. Zen Headbutt Winona: Manectric is a good answer to most of her team, but Gyarados may be necessary to Ice Fang her Altaria. - Megahorn - Rock Slide / Aerial Ace / Shadow Claw. - Sludge Wave. Ah, the evolution to the infamous Pikablu. TM Thunderbolt: Mauville City (help Wattson clean up New Mauville) - Volt Tackle / Discharge - Overheat (TM) Ability: Natural Cure Vivi (Aggron) @ Lucky Egg - Shadow Claw - Rock Smash, Cut: HM Brick Breaks primary use is to break the screens that Glacias Glalie #1 and Stevens Claydol set up, should it be necessary. Crawdaunt - Water/Dark Ability: Synchronize - Toxic / Toxic Spikes. - Waterfall Ability: Guts - Tri Attack Ice Beam is coverage against Grass types until you get to the Battle Resort, at which point you should swap it for Ice Punch. - Teleport (Level 9) > Magical Leaf (Level 17) > Shadow Ball (TM30 - Mt. Quick Attack is primarily used to conserve PP on more powerful moves, and to break Sturdy on specific Pokemon. Ability: Overgrow > Lightning Rod Gardevoir @ Life Orb / Gardevoirite / Leftovers - Recover Thanks for reading! - Growl (starting move) > Mud Shot (Level 16) > Brick Break (TM31 - Sootopolis City). Altaria is my favorite Dragon type you can obtain in Hoenn (Besides Flygon). Fly is Crobat's main STAB, but if you don't want to wait 2 turns you can use Acrobatics. I didn't really think of Medicham as something that was very worthwhile, but I tried it out as I wanted to use Azumarill. Treecko overall has pretty good stats, including great Special Attack and Speed and solid Attack, which are great combined with Sceptile's large movepool. Both have STAB and good power. Lets be honest, what Hoenn team is complete without Linoone. Stealth Rock. But now I do, and this Pokmon takes great advantage of its great ability: Huge Power. I don't understand why people wouldn't want to spend money on TM's, if they want to use them, they're going to have to buy them eventually, whether that be during the game, or once they've completed it. - Strength. - Water Pulse / Thunder - Leer (starting move) > Volt Switch (TM72 - Obtained after defeating Wattson) Manectric @ Magnet / Life Orb Rock Smash - Flare Blitz / Blaze Kick Pelipper is a mandatory teammate because it provides free rain with its ability Drizzle while checking Keldeo, one of the best checks to Mega Swampert. - Shadow Ball. - Grass Pledge / Giga Drain - Steel Wing Shadow Claw: Dewford Cave, requires Mach Bike Ability: Rock Head Dig can be used in the same way as an Escape Rope to escape caves and Surf can be used to surf at a normal speed (since we also have Sharpedo in the party). You can only get a Dawn Stone from Wally after you beat him at the Victory Road, which let's you evolve your Kirlia into a Gallade. Crobat @ nothing if you want Acrobatics Flamethrower - Dark Pulse Of course this doesn't always work, but the moveset I run on Ninetales highlights its strengths and covers my team pretty well. Mist Ball/Luster Purge. - Volt Switch (TM) What is a good in-game team for Let's Go, Pikachu and Lets Go, Eevee? - Spikes, Magnezone - Confusion (Level 4) > Psychic (Level 30) I didn't have any items left so I just gave her a Pecha Berry. - Waterfall - Astonish (starting move) > Poison Fang (Level 27). - Surf (HM) Ninetales @ Charcoal - Psychic Brick Break / Strength: Brick Break is a good STAB move that has more PP than Close Combat, and it doesn't get the Defense drops that Close Combat has. Flamethrower- Has lower power than Overheat, but covers for Overheat's low PP. Aerial Ace for Fighting types. Here's his set-up: Gallade @ Galladite - Toxic While Weezing might not be as good as Aggron or Skarmory, I already had a Steel-type, so I decided Weezing would be a good addition to the team. - Focus Blast: TM52 from Lilycove Department Store for 30k Pokedollars This is a good team but could I use swampert instead Of skeptile and replace gyrados with breloom. Surf is excellent on Sharpedo, as it moves twice as fast when surfing and Dive allows you to dive underwater and explore beneath the sea. He's probably one of my best team members due to his high Speed and Attack. - Focus Blast [emailprotected] Expert Belt Waterfall is also a great move but in my opinion Aqua Tail is better, thanks for the suggestions though :). - Signal Beam. Latios/Latias @ Latiosite / Latiasite / Soul Dew Magical Leaf was primarily used against Wallaces Whiscash and Milotic, but it was also very helpful for dealing with Team Aquas Carvanha and Sharpedo, so Gardevoir wouldnt take extra damage from Rough Skin. before Flannery, not enough coverage, id replace delcatty with a linnone hm slave and mightyana with garnavor with movesets of. Magnezone is easily one of the best, if not the best, Electric-types in the game, only contested by Manectric. Ability: Flash Fire Tentacruel Drake: Gyarados can set up two Dragon Dances on Altaria and proceed to sweep Drakes entire team. 2. The best team for Pokemon Emerald with Swampert - Sportskeeda Ability: Overgrow -> Lightning Rod. There isn't really much to say about them; they free up slots in the rest of the team's movesets and allow you to play the game. Magical Leaf comes in handy against Water/Ground types that Manectric can't touch, as well as Rock/Ground types. So while Meteor Mash is really great STAB, it lacks reliability and accuracy. - Fake Out / Focus Blast, Jolteon @ Air Balloon A very good wall, with good attacking stats but low Speed. Greta (Gardevoir) @ Gardevoirite Manectric @ Magnet / nothing If Manectric has a good Hidden Power type such as Ice, Grass or Water, keep Hidden Power as your main move, otherwise discard it. - Strength Yawn. Gyarados @ anything Strength because you need a Strength user and it's a decent move. Set up 3 Dragon Dances on either the Claydol or Cradily, healing as needed, and freely sweep the rest of Stevens team. Knock Off: Covers Hariyama's Psychic weakness and removes items. Walrein @ Leftovers Good Special Attack, Special Defense and Speed, but low HP and Defense. Ability: Torrent Any good water type alternatives for Walrein or Milotic? Ability: Levitate - Stone Edge / Rock Slide Sceptile. If you ever need Giga Drain again, you can reteach it; you don't have that option if you let Treecko evolve at L16. Pyre - Sky Uppercut / High Jump Kick Flip Turn. I couldn't have Gardevoir as they are both Psychic-type, and the road to Gallade is pretty tough on Kirlia, so I decided on Meditite, and I was pretty happy with my decision. - Shadow Ball - Earthquake Earthquake: Good coverage move. Crobat @ Soothe Bell > nothing Strength and Cut are half-STAB, half-HM (more on Surf later), Rock Smash is an HM and is also great for Heart Scale farming, and Shadow Claw does good damage to the Ghosts that Linoone doesn't like. - Will-O-Wisp I decided to use Bulk Up as Poison Jab is pretty hard to get, and I simply didn't have the patience. Ability: Trace Calm Mind was chiefly used to sweep Wallace for free, but because its also a TM, it can be swapped for things like Flash as the need arises. Mt. This move will be handy then. Sure, it's not the fastest- but its. Finally, Rock Slide is nice coverage against Flying-types that may annoy Swampert (and is basically your only hope for Winona). - Stone Edge - Dragon Claw / Dual Chop You could also go with Alakazam but I just love Gardevoir. Focus Blast and Dragon Pulse are coverage moves, with Dragon Pulse getting STAB from Mega-Sceptile. - Earthquake. The last move is a variety of coverage moves. - Arm Thrust (starting move) > Force Palm (Level 13) > Wake-Up Slap (Level 38) - Waterfall / Dazzling Gleam - Close Combat TM10 Hidden Power can be obtained in Fortree City. Earthquake: Seafloor Cave, right before the final evil team leader battle, you can't miss it - Leech Life (starting move) > Wing Attack (Level 13) > Acrobatics (Level 35) Getting Protean was one of the things I was actually patient enough for. Ice Fang is a good defense against Winona and Drake. Hariyama is a good answer to Vigoroth and can work well against the Slakings too. - Stone Edge / Sunny Day / Amnesia. Then give it the power bracer and you have the most OP azumarill in existence. - Moonlight Swampert is a Water & Ground Pokmon which evolves from Marshtomp. Roserade: Route 117 (Roselia), Super Training (Shiny Stone) Swampert is semi-bipedal. If you're playing during the special shiny Beldum event, I would say replace Froslass with Metagross. - Dragon Pulse Great speed, but sadly only great thing about it. Gardevoir @ Miracle Seed / Rocky Helmet Swampert predicts storms by sensing subtle differences in the sounds of waves and tidal winds with its fins. Rock Head is a must for Double-Edge. A great Pokemon that can set up Sunny Day to boost STAB Flamethrower and make Solar Beam hit in one turn. - Cut Leaf Blade/Thunderbolt. Pyre), Will-O-Wisp (TM61 - Mt. - Needle Arm Thunder Wave / Hidden Power [Ice]: Always try for Hidden Power [Ice] for coverage, but otherwise Thunder Wave to catch stuff and paralyse an enemy. Fly and Steel Wing are STAB, Night Slash is coverage and Spikes or Toxic are great status moves. That's really it. This is for a standard team, so just pick Mudkip. Heart Scales: Repeatedly use Rock Smash on Route 111 (right outside Mauville City), Sceptile @ Wide Lens / Sceptilite TM Dazzling Gleam: Route 123 - Double Team (Level 6) > Calm Mind (Level 24) If it's male, I use Gallade, and if it's female, I use Gardevoir. Replace bulldoze with belly drum and get aqua jet on it somehow. Ability: Pressure / Super Luck --> Magic Bounce - Iron Tail - Boomburst / Hyper Voice Earthquake is Earthquake, no explanation needed. but they are not necessary. As said, Crobat is another option, but on this team it shares a Psychic weakness with Tentacruel, who you can always replace with Sharpedo. To keep things tidy, we will remove any teams posted as comments in this thread. Since I decided to play through the game with the Exp. Good team but I would replace Gyarados with Aggron as you have 2 members weak to electric types and Aggron walls most of the E4 combined with its broken mega evolution with solid defence and great offensive power, other than that, good team :). Ability: Inner Focus - Roost (sneaking up/TM)*. Hariyama will be able to take on Roxanne, Wattson (with Bulldoze), Norman, Sidney, and Flannery and Glacia with Thick Fat. - Strength. Swampert | BW | Smogon Strategy Pokedex - Rock Slide / Stone Edge. Iron Tail is STAB anti-Fairy, Stone Edge is also STAB. Waterfall is its strongest physical Water STAB while doubling as an HM, while Earthquake is here for obvious reasons. - Feint Attack - Fly - Fly Personally, I just catch the first Ralts I come across. So Energy Ball is STAB, Dragon Claw is STAB as a mega and Earthquake and Rock Slide cover all other weaknesses. Ice Beam and Flamethrower are fairly late in the game, but you could wait or substitute with another move of your choice. [emailprotected]: Southern Island (Gift) This is a list of major battles the team will have to contend with. You can give it a Persim Berry to block Magnetons confusion, but it should be a clean sweep. - High Jump Kick - Flamethrower - Earthquake. Gardevoir However if you don't have the time to get Protean, just catch the first one, and SR for a good Nature. - Stone Edge - Earthquake Waterfall, Surf, and Dive can be alternated depending on what part of the game you're going through. It can be given a Wacan Berry in case Salamence connects with a Thunder Punch, but its very difficult to lose this battle. I know that this is old, but replace Moonblast with Hyper Voice for the Pixilate boost. - Flamethrower Crobat doesn't really get to participate in a lot of important battles, and the only battle its good in is the battle against Brawly, which Gardevoir (Ralts) does better in. Ability: Poison Heal - Tackle (starting move) > Bulk Up (TM08 - Obtained after defeating Brawly) > Close Combat (Level 46). Fly to the Move Relearner in Fallarbor Town, and use a Heart Scale to relearn Dragon Dance, which will be crucial in setting up sweeps against Phoebe, Drake, and Steven. Knock Off is helpful so Hariyama doesnt get completely walled by Ghosts types, but it should still be kept away from Psychic types. Especially Stone Edge. If you can't get it, Hyper Voice is the next best bet. Cross Poison is also STAB, and Steel Wing and X-Scissor are coverage against Rock, Ice and Psychic types. Fire Blast and Flamethrower are great moves, but I prefer Fire Blast because of Contests. This Pokmon also has powerful vision that lets it see even in murky water. - Hammer Arm You can teach Blaziken Flare Blitz and High Jump Kick by going to the Move Reminder and exchanging one Heart Scale per move. Gallade Hariyama was a lot better than expected in this playthrough. Earth Power is coverage and Yawn is also an option. Ability: Synchronize / Trace --> Pixilate Close Combat does more damage but has lower PP and lowers your defenses. - Power-Up Punch - Dragon Claw Stone Edge: Lilycove Department Store - Psycho Cut Dazzling Gleam is an alternative, not as powerful but strikes multiple enemies which is useful for hordes. Sceptile @ Sceptilite But then it will have a very low level and need a lot of experience before it becomes useful. - Steel Wing, Item: anything Ability: Lightning Rod / Static I understand what you're saying for Blaziken however you don't need to use Flare Blitz and High Jump Kick, I said you can otherwise use Blaze Kick and Sky Uppercut, I only taught my Blaziken Flare Blitz and HJK for when I was battling the Elite 4. dude change earth power to earthquake camerupt has higher attack than special. Banette is probably better. Team Preview: For this Hariyama, Thick Fat is preferred so it can tank more Ice and Fire moves. With access to Swords Dance, it could be a potential sweeper. - Flamethrower - Dragon Claw Only use it if you didn't choose Brick Break. Magnezone is a beast. Power-Up Punch is just there to make his Attack even more OP, and the rest are coverage or fillers. It or Hariyama can deal with Sharpedo, and Gardevoir cleanly OHKOes the rest of Sidneys team. - Iron Head. Stopping the new Fairies in their tracks doesn't hurt either. - Flamethrower Raichu or a Pikachu with light ball? - Will-O-Wisp. Various HMs: Given throughout the main story (Gift) - Power-Up Punch (I know right lol), Swampert @ Swamperite Absol @ Absolite The Diantha look-alike set would be ideal considering Hyper Voice is useless if I Mega Evolve Blaziken, but if you want to invest fully in Gardevoir, go ahead. Gyarados is an exceptionally useful Pokmon ingame. - Mach Punch While everyone thinks Dawn Stones are a pain to obtain just use Super Training! Crabhammer is just powerful STAB. TM Ice Beam: Sea Mauville Kiwi is my flyer. - Iron Tail I must say, I would prefer Rock Slide, if I needed coverage on fire types. - Shadow Ball. - Acid (idk why I chose this but its what mine had) Swampert: Starter (Mudkip) Bulk Up wasnt particularly useful at any point during the game, so the extra power Close Combat provided is generally the better idea. - Mud-Slap (Level 9) > Dig (TM28 - Route 114) > Earthquake (TM26 - Seafloor Cavern) - Crunch - Hypnosis Ability: Pickup - Focus Blast / Thunderbolt. - Dragon Pulse: from Battle Resort Move Tutor for 12BP Dazzling Gleam: Route 123 near the Berry Master's house, given by a Fairy Girl Finally an early Earthquaker! - Night Slash - Earthquake I'm too lazy to put all the locations for the Pokmon, items and TM moves, so you can just go and look it up on the DB or somethingidk. Boomburst is a fantastic move with a base power of 140, and 210 with STAB. That's a lot of TMs. This was probably longer than it needed to be, but this team worked very well for me, so I hope it helps someone. Metal Sound- Harshly lowers opponent's Special Defense and pretty much makes Magnezone unstoppable. Waterfall is a good STAB move and with his huge Attack it just gets better. Item: Miracle Seed Steel Wing is the most viable move for the last slot, since Swellow has a pretty shallow movepool. It was a pain to train her up as a Vulpix but it was totally worth it. Phoebe: Give Gyarados a Persim Berry to block Dusclops Confuse Ray, and set up a Dragon Dance for free. - Zen Headbutt / Psychic Manectric @ Manectite I'd keep x-scissor on MSceptile and swap EQ with Leaf storm. Bulk Up is to further boost Hariyama's high Attack and maybe counter the Defence drop from Close Combat. Waterfall is Sharpedo's main attacking Water move and allows you to climb waterfalls. Acrobatics is by far the strongest STAB move, with 110 BP per turn (provided Crobat isnt holding anything). Medicham is a great Pokemon with good stats and a good movepool. Don't evolve Vibrava until Level 47, so it can learn Boomburst. Earthquake is there because it's strong, Knock Off is to counter Psychic types, and Heavy Slam and Poison Jab are to take out Fairy types. An awesome tank that can take physical hits very well. Time for the HM Slaves. Stone Edge- Great power. Wattson: Marshtomp with Mud Shot easily solos this Gym. What is a good in-game team for Scarlet and Violet? Earthquake, Fly, and Dragon Claw are self-explanatory, and from there, pick an item and your choice of Ice coverage, and you're set! Swampert is a great Poke in its own right, with a solid movepool, great Attack, and only one weakness. Silk Scarf-boosted Fake Out does quite a lot of damage to neutral opponents, and free damage is excellent. - Ice Beam Exploud @ Leftovers - Rock Smash Other moves are pretty standard. - Giga Drain - Bullet Punch - Blaze Kick / Flare Blitz - Thunderbolt: TM24 after New Mauville quest Hey, gotta deal with 'em somehow! I think Aggron is worse than Gyarados because it's unable to sweep the Elite 4 like Gyarados can. Knock Off: Good coverage move, removes items. Swampert is the aforementioned starter that's an absolute beast in competitive matches and can carry teams in PVE. Nothing is greater than a Swampert. - Ice Beam Fly to the Move Deleter in Lilycove City to remove Strength, as its no longer useful. *TM51 Steel Wing can be found in Granite Cave. - Double-Edge. - Stone Edge Earthquake, Yep. - Fly Dragon Claw / Dual Chop: Since Dragon Pulse isn't easily available, Dual Chop or Dragon Claw will do. Ability: Levitate - Bulk Up I mean, just look at that 185 base Attack. - Rock Slide. Giga Drain is STAB and allows them to recover HP, Leaf Blade is a great STAB move with a high critical hit chance, Dragon Claw is STAB if you decide to Mega Evolve, and Earthquake allows him to cover his Fire and Poison weaknesses. Best part? Shadow Ball covers against Ghost and other Psychics. - Roost. As for Waterfall and Dive, I'd suggest grabbing the Good Rod, fishing up a Carvanha, and shoving it into your box until you need it. Pokmon Team Builder | Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire - YouTube Of course Ghost is a problem, but if your entire team is wiped and Linoone is your only surviving Pokemon, you're in serious trouble anyway. - Charge Supersalamence93 here bringing you another Pokemon Team builder. Swellow is probably the best Fly user in Hoenn, except for Crobat; the others are a bit lacking in attack to make use of Fly in battle. Overall, just my favorite of the starters. - Close Combat: Level 43 Acrobatics is deadly when not holding an item. Pyre It can restore health with Leech Seed and Giga Drain as well. What is a good in-game team for Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire? Ability: Trace Shadow Claw to help against Ghost types is another option. - Flash Cannon Moving on to Route 102, we catch a Ralts, who eventually becomes Gardevoir! - Dive / Ice Beam. Ability: Frisk --> Prankster After it was of no use to me, I taught it Hidden Power again. - Ice Beam Ability: Pickup When navigating around tight bends, where if you go too fast you'll end up on the shore, that is when having a normal speed surfer pays off. - Rock Smash, Swellow @ anything - Tackle (starting move) > Rock Slide (Level 28) Ability: Soundproof Weezing has pretty good moves, pretty good stats, and a good defensive typing, which paired with Levitate, makes it a great physical wall. - Hyper Voice. 3) It has access to many great TMs & Move Tutors. - Brick Break / Reflect, Note: Many Pokemon in this team can Mega Evolve, it's up to you who gets to do so. - Flamethrower Pickup is super useful as well, hence why it has no item. Swampert It has enough power to easily drag a boulder weighing more than a ton. - Shadow Ball: TM30 at Mt. Discharge is the best STAB move it gets (The sidequest for TM24 Thunderbolt comes too late and is a waste of time). - Rock Smash Milotic @ Mystic Water - Earthquake. - Surf Gardevoir/Gallade: Route 103 (Ralts), Super Training (Dawn Stone) - Surf Lenny (Linoone) @ Nothing - Surf [emailprotected] Item For a held item use Leftovers to keep Swampert in the game as long as possible to bring the pain. Swampert @ Swampertite - Fly Both evolutions' respective STABs are accounted for, and they both have coverage against Ghosts. - Rain Dance / Rock Slide / Hammer Arm. I was just looking through for some ideas for my team and I think a Sceptile team is pretty good like this: Sceptile @ Sceptilite Double Edge is general coverage as a very strong move, especially given the Rock Head Ability. I would recommend Protean as it gives him STAB on every attack, but Colour Change is still useful in a lot of cases. - Megahorn: Level 37 Ability: Static Ability: Synchronize Ability: Colour Change / Protean (H). - Recover Pick Up = free crap. This is a in-game team, it doesn't need to set up. It can even learn Blizzard or Ice Beam to deal with Grass Pokemon by itself, but it isn't. - Dive, I had to make him into a HM slave since I didn't have any other team members that could learn the Water HM's and I didn't wanna get rid of a team member to have an HM slave. - Fire Fang - Strength Nothing. Power-Up Punch is better just because it will always raise Attack and is 100% accurate. Giga Drain is also STAB and Shadow Ball is for type coverage. - Psychic For Boomburst, use a Heart Scale or just level up to level 58. Actually camperupt has 5 more SpAttack than Attack. Lucy (Ninetales) @ Pecha Berry With Recover and Acupressure (which sharply raises a random stat), it will be alive for a while. I'm pretty sure Slaking doesn't pack Earthquake, but just bear that in mind as well. Fly- Good power, STAB, useful in-game Strength is for moving boulders, which is handy. For the last move, you can use Rain Dance to work with Swift Swim, or you can use Rock Slide or Hammer Arm for coverage. - Cross Poison Ability: Clear Body - anything. Ability: Rock Head Which one you get doesn't really matter, as you'll hardly ever use it in battle and they learn the same HMs. Volt Switch and Thunder Wave are there if you ever need it, and HM Strength is there because Manectric is the perfect Pokemon to hold it. Skarmory Banette helps against Phoebe and Sceptile, Walrein or Milotic can all handle Drake. Heragross is a very good physical sweeper with an interesting typing that cancels out some weaknesses. - Poison Jab If you dont have a Beautifly, Hariyama is good for Mightyena and Sharpedo. Fly is more for convenience than damage, but it could work well in combination with Swamperts Surf in a Double Battle. - Giga Drain. Steven gives you one early on and it's a great partner. Skarmory @ Leftovers The first options are for a safer playstyle, while the second set hits harder, but might kill you in the process. - Rock Smash Froslass @ Expert Belt / Wise Glasses - Dragon Pulse / Dive. - Wake-Up Slap - Rock Smash. Focus Blast / False Swipe: False Swipe to help catch stuff, but Focus Blast is a great power move. As for the last two slots, it's up to preference. - Pursuit - Dual Chop - Steel Wing / Acrobatics. What was your team for every ORAS? : r/pokemon - Reddit Its better to replace Growl with Mud Shot instead of Mud-Slap in case you need the accuracy drops the latter provides, but Marshtomp should start reliably KOing things by the time it gets Dig to no longer need Mud-Slap. Your call. I just got her in Victory Road and after a little bit of training, she evolved. - Boomburst Thunder becomes totally OP when you add Rain Dance to it and if you send out a Mega Swampert (Swolepert) his Speed will double making him just that much more over-powered. - Toxic What is a good in-game team for Ruby, Sapphire and Emerald? The Assault Vest makes Aggron more of a tank, and I don't use status moves anyway. Ability: Pickup - Stone Edge Pyre). - Rock Slide / Hidden Power [Water]. - Crunch What is a good in-game team for Ruby, Sapphire and Emerald? Base 80 power and 100 accuracy make great use of its high Special Attack. U-turn- Good power, allows you to switch Pokemon without wasting a turn. that are only available through, Earthquake (TM26 - Seafloor Cavern) / Rock Slide (TM80 - Route 134), Bulk Up (TM08 - Gift from Brawly) / Poison Jab (TM84 - Mirage Mountain), Surf (HM03 - Petalburg City after beating Norman) / Superpower (Level 46), Thunderbolt (TM24 - From Wattson after completing the New Mauville sidequest), Charge Beam (TM57 - Mauville City Pokmart), Dark Pulse (TM97 - Team Magma/Aqua Hideout) / Shadow Ball (TM30 - Mt. Shadow Ball handles Psychic types, Dazzling Gleam smacks Dragon- and Dark-types hard, and Grass Whistle, despite its coin-flip accuracy, is still good. Any good alternatives to moonblast? You just have to. - Shadow Ball - Rock Smash (HM) Crobat is probably the best flier in the game due to its high Speed and large variety of moves. - Knock Off They're pointless in-game. TM71 Stone Edge can be purchased from the Lilycove Department Store for 30,000 Pokmon Dollars. What is a good in-game team for Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl? Ability: Rough Skin - Dragon Claw - Thunderbolt. Ability: Trace Ability: Levitate Before you ask why I have two Megas on this team, I Mega Evolve a different one depending on the situation. Ability: Torrent > Swift Swim I have finished the game twice and now I'm doing it again. Crobat - Poison/Flying Also useful against Steven's Metagross. Flygon is one of my favorite mons of all time, plus we need a flyer, so I picked it. The other moves are pretty self explanatory, although you can use a mixed set with Psychic > Zen Headbutt for accuracy. Shadow Claw: Sometimes Shadow Sneak isn't enough. - Sludge Bomb - Knock Off - Close Combat Sludge Bomb- Good power, STAB Zen Headbutt is a decent STAB move with a decent flinch chance, High Jump Kick is a very powerful STAB move (but you will want to be careful using it), Ice Punch covers her Flying weakness, Bulk Up allows it to set up a possible sweep, and Poison Jab covers her Fairy weakness. Flamethrower is a good move that provides coverage and takes out the pesky Grass types. - Extrasensory / Shadow Ball. - Energy Ball - Ice Beam Where can you get the Magnet for Magnezone? However, Sidney has two Grass types on his team, so be cautious. Breloom/Sitrus Berry Hasty Nature - Mach Punch (lvl 23) - Strength / Yawn. I prefer Frenzy Plant to Leaf Storm because it has a higher base power, and so a higher chance to OHKO the opponent. The Dragon that only becomes available after the 8th gym and is horribly underleveled when you get it. Steel-typing gives it good resistances and pretty good STAB moves throughout the game. Close Combat: Great coverage move. U don;t have to lug it arround, just have it sit in that PC box of yours until you need it. - Waterfall: HM05, you need it to complete the game Stone Edge comes in handy for dealing with Flying types and countering Fire and Ice types, so it synergizes with Thick Fat. - Overheat - Surf Return: Pacifidlog Town - Protect. Ability: Pure Power. Swampert: Mud Fish Pokmon 3 Attack Height Weight Gender Egg Group(s) 4'11" 1.5m 180.6 lbs. - Fly A Mega Evolution is what it needs ;~; Sharpedo @ Sharpedonite - U-turn / Roost. - Strength Earthquake is through Heart Scale as well!
