Magnezone is a beast. Metagross @ Expert Belt Please be sparing with images and formatting. (I know right lol), Swampert @ Swamperite Swampert - Ice Beam Overheat- Great power, STAB A great Pokemon that adds to this teams diversity, Psychic and Moonblast are STAB. - Surf Great Pokemon who also gets Fly and Strength. Ralts can be obtained in a horde encounter on Route 104. The best team for Pokemon Emerald with Swampert Swampert Image via The Pokemon Company Swampert is the mainstay of this team, as the final evolution of the Water-type starter. Dollface (Banette) @ Banettite The Ability doesnt matter much, but it was fun to block Drakes Flygons from using Ground moves after Levitate was Traced. Remember: Mega Evolve Heracross at all times!! - Confuse Ray. - Ice Fang: Level 32 - Psychic The first team on this list that wasn't just Hoenn all over I like this team. - Thunderbolt / Thunder Shadow Ball: Mt Pyre, the giant casket room with the Medichamite 3) It has access to many great TMs & Move Tutors. Also on Route 111, we encounter one of the most underrated Gen 3 mons IMO. You can replace Giga Drain later for Leaf Storm or Leaf Blade if you want Sceptile to be fully physical, but Giga Drain is really useful early on. - Volt Switch. Today's team is Gen 6/3 ORAS starting with Torchic. - Earthquake - Fly He has high defenses and Attack so make sure you have physical hits if you swap any moves out. U don;t have to lug it arround, just have it sit in that PC box of yours until you need it. Kecleon @ Expert Belt - Spikes, Magnezone - Dive Milotic @ Mystic Water Ability: Shell Armor Sidney: Give Gardevoir a Persim Berry and send it in against Mightyena to block Swagger and safely KO with Dazzling Gleam. - Stone Edge: TM71 from Lilycove Department Store for 30k Pokedollars. - Flare Blitz / Blaze Kick Medicham is a great Pokemon with good stats and a good movepool. - Rock Smash - Moonblast - Cut - Surf Ability: Flash Fire Good "All-Around" Team? - Pokemon Alpha Sapphire - GameSpot - Dragon Pulse Breloom/Sitrus Berry Hasty Nature - Mach Punch (lvl 23) Stone Edge: Lilycove Department Store - Giga Drain. Swampert | SM | Smogon Strategy Pokedex Close Combat: Powerful STAB move - Surf (HM) / Dig (TM)*. - Ice Beam Ability: Pressure / Super Luck --> Magic Bounce Type disadvantage is an issue with Fire types but you can change one move to Earthquake or use Aggron with Surf. Tentacruel @ Black Sludge Both evolutions' respective STABs are accounted for, and they both have coverage against Ghosts. - Rock Smash - Dazzling Gleam / Moonblast Slash is STAB and has a high critical rate, Shadow Sneak gives him priority (and turns him into a Ghost-type with Protean, covering his Fighting weakness), and Brick Break and Aerial Ace are just for further coverage (or type-transformation with Protean). I have finished the game twice and now I'm doing it again. - Waterfall Exploud is a decent Pokmon with stats that tend to lean towards the Special Attack. Flamethrower is good for Ice types and Steel Wing for the Fairies. - Rock Smash, Swellow @ anything - Thunderbolt Echoed Voice was my Swablu's best buddy till it evolved and I just couldn't part with it, not to mention how much better it gets with Pixilate. 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. - Rock Slide / Hidden Power [Water]. - Fly Night Slash: Helps against Psychic types. Surf: Until a Water type is obtained. What is a good in-game team for Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire? - Waterfall - Waterfall / Dazzling Gleam - Fly. - Thunderbolt / Discharge Surf is because I was too lazy keep switching Pokmon so I had a different Surf-er, whereas, if you are patient enough, Superpower just gives him a little more coverage. [emailprotected] Because it is.) - Earthquake. Good Defense and high Special Attack, but its other stats are low. Poison Fang is STAB, but Acrobatics will typically be more useful. Lilycove City Rival: Swellow and Wailord fall to Manectric, and Magcargo goes down to Swampert. Magical Leaf is good for Rock types and Water types. Nothing is greater than a Swampert. Jolteon and Raichu are both amazing, but it can be a little hard to find a Thunder Stone, so another option is Manectric. I won't bother listing the locations of these HM's, since their necessary to complete the game anyway. Seviper @ anything - Zen Headbutt / Play Rough. Bro sub out Gardevoir for Gallade as it takes forever to get dawn stone if you have one system like me. - Shadow Ball Teams should be aimed toward making casual runs of the game efficient, enjoyable and hassle-free. I call it a SpA Sweeper Specialist. Silk Scarf-boosted Fake Out does quite a lot of damage to neutral opponents, and free damage is excellent. - Fly Tentacruel Mega-Pokmon adds a great boost to Pokmon. Pyre Ninetales @ anything - Strength - Cross Poison 2. Rock Slide- Coverage against many of Sceptile's weaknesses, Swellow - Power-Up Punch - Flamethrower Other moves are pretty standard. Ability: Pickup - Return / Brick Break. This is much more reliable than gambling on random encounters, and its often a large timesaver. Good team. Shadow Ball handles Psychic types, Dazzling Gleam smacks Dragon- and Dark-types hard, and Grass Whistle, despite its coin-flip accuracy, is still good. Ability: Poison Heal Crobat @ Soothe Bell > nothing Of course this doesn't always work, but the moveset I run on Ninetales highlights its strengths and covers my team pretty well. Biology. - Earthquake / Knock Off / Heavy Slam / Poison Jab. Power-Up Punch is better just because it will always raise Attack and is 100% accurate. Leech Seed and Toxic wears the opponent down. Coil: Boost Attack to sweep. Gardevoir @ anything - Thunder Wave (starting move) > Bite (Level 24) > Flamethrower (TM35 - Victory Road) - Flamethrower I'm about to challenge the E4 while writing this: Cuddles (Swampert) @ Swampertite Shadow Ball/Dazzling Gleam/Grass Whistle. The Dragon that only becomes available after the 8th gym and is horribly underleveled when you get it. I just love Mega Sceptile, he was my favorite starter from Hoenn and still is. Kiwi is my flyer. - Dragon Claw / Dual Chop - Nasty Plot - Rock Smash (HM) - Waterfall. Deadly against Dragon types and can use Shadow Ball on fellow Psychics. Poison Jab: Main STAB move. Hariyama was a lot better than expected in this playthrough. - Acupressure. - Confusion (Level 4) > Psychic (Level 30) The Magnemite line has great stats, including a monstrous Special Attack stat and a great Defence stat. 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. - Poison Jab Waterfall is a good STAB move and with his huge Attack it just gets better. - Dragon Pulse Sceptile is easily taken care of with Crobats Acrobatics. - Power-Up Punch Pyre - Boomburst - Toxic - Tri Attack My current team (in Alpha Sapphire) is Mega Blaziken (I lost my Blazikenite due to save data being erased somehow), Mega Gardevoir, Shiftry (From bros' Omega Ruby), Vigiroth, Swampert, and Skarmory. Ability: Pickup Ability: Pickup I think Aggron is worse than Gyarados because it's unable to sweep the Elite 4 like Gyarados can. - Fly - Dive / Ice Beam. What was your team for every ORAS? : r/pokemon - Reddit You could go mixed or choose Leaf Blade in place of Giga Drain and run Brick Break in place of Leaf Storm and go physical, although his base Attack isn't great compared to his Special Attack. - Dark Pulse He destroys everything. TM Dazzling Gleam: Route 123 Really helps with Fire Blast and Solar Beam. if you want to change a move be. - Stone Edge Skarmory Fairies are no problem with Sludge Wave. - Psychic: Level 31. Sky Uppercut is a pretty good Fighting STAB if you don't want the 10% chance to lose half your HP. - Earthquake Roserade @Miracle Seed/Black Sludge/Filler Swampert is semi-bipedal. - Rock Smash. Zen Headbutt Today's team is Gen 6/3 ORAS starting with Mudkip. Ability: Static Best in-game team for Swampert/Mudkip? - Pokemon Alpha Sapphire - GameSpot It has a high Special Attack stat, and good Special Defense and Speed. Rock Slide is a powerful coverage option that works as a good backup against Winona, should Manectric fall. Alpha Sapphire. Ice Fang is a good defense against Winona and Drake. Once you get the EXP Share, however, levelling it up becomes trivial. - Flamethrower - Surf Overall, just my favorite of the starters. (Pre-E4 - no items, moves or Pokmon only available in the Post-Game) - Arm Thrust (starting move) > Force Palm (Level 13) > Wake-Up Slap (Level 38) - Rock Slide - Psychic - Astonish (starting move) > Poison Fang (Level 27). After you get to the E4, you can delete your HM moves and give Tentacruel more useful moves in Dazzling Gleam/ Ice Beam. - Hammer Arm You can give it a Persim Berry to block Magnetons confusion, but it should be a clean sweep. - Feint Attack What is a good in-game team for Scarlet and Violet? - Surf / Dive as it is needed for the story mode. I decided to use Bulk Up as Poison Jab is pretty hard to get, and I simply didn't have the patience. Ice Beam: Good against Grass types. You can teach Blaziken Flare Blitz and High Jump Kick by going to the Move Reminder and exchanging one Heart Scale per move. - Bullet Punch Ability: Marvel Scale / Oblivious I would also recommend Mega Evolving Medicham more often than Sceptile, because Medicham is normally in bigger need of a buff to its stats. Flash Cannon- Good power, STAB - Thunderbolt. 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. Switch training Ralts may be necessary for a while, as its too weak to deal with Poochyena and Zigzagoon (even with Confusion). Swellow and Sharpedo are also constantly in the party, while Blaziken, Gardevoir and Manectric are constantly rotated, that way by the time I get to the Pokmon League I'll have a full party of six that are battle ready. Ability: Trace Otherwise use Blaze Kick and Sky Uppercut, which you learn by levelling up. - Close Combat: Level 43 - Leaf Blade - Steel Wing - Iron Head - Earthquake Steel-typing gives it good resistances and pretty good STAB moves throughout the game. Vivi (Aggron) @ Lucky Egg Ability: Torrent Sceptile This should be enough to OHKO every Pokemon with Crunch, but if it isnt, the only threat is Dusknoir, who still cant usually kill with Thunder Punch. Hariyama destroys the Elite 4, being good against Sidney, Phoebe and Steven. Ability: Sturdy So we have our first special attacker! Since I decided to play through the game with the Exp. Spike (Cacturne) @ Miracle Seed Ability: Inner Focus They have a really good movepool and who wouldn't want to fly around the huge Hoenn region on a dragon?! Metal Sound- Harshly lowers opponent's Special Defense and pretty much makes Magnezone unstoppable. - Rock Smash, Cut: HM Flamethrower is a good move that provides coverage and takes out the pesky Grass types. Stone Edge comes in handy for dealing with Flying types and countering Fire and Ice types, so it synergizes with Thick Fat. *TM73 Thunder Wave can be purchased in Slateport City for 5000 Pokmon Dollars. - Bite (Level 20) > Crunch (Level 41) It has enough power to easily drag a boulder weighing more than a ton. Every team needs that tank that makes everyone mad when it endures everything you throw at it. Your call. Oh, goody. - Waterfall: HM05, you need it to complete the game - Leaf Blade If you really want to, you can replace Headbutt with Surf for another HM move, or Shadow Claw for better coverage. before Flannery, not enough coverage, id replace delcatty with a linnone hm slave and mightyana with garnavor with movesets of. This Pokemon is used for Tate & Liza and Phoebe, but if it sets up a few Swords Dances, you can sweep most teams. Ability: Flash Fire - Crunch: Level 41 - Close Combat Swampert + Hariyama + Manectric + Absol + Gardevoir + Crobat This team, for starters, has a lot of possible mega-evolutions, so that's always fun! - Strength Before you ask why I have two Megas on this team, I Mega Evolve a different one depending on the situation. TM26 Earthquake can be found in the Sea Floor Cavern. Ability: Torrent Dragon Pulse / Dive: Dragon Pulse for coverage or Dive for another HM. Wallace: Set up a Calm Mind or two on Luvdisc with Gardevoir, then use Magical Leaf to cleave through it and Whiscash. - Surf (HM) - Giga Drain / Leaf Storm Time for the HM Slaves. Surf should be used until you catch a Carvanha on Route 118 and teach it Surf, then you can delete Surf if you so wish by going to the Move Deleter in Lilycove City. TM Shadow Ball: Mt. If not, Earthquake for Electric types (although its attack isn't that great). Hariyama will be able to take on Roxanne, Wattson (with Bulldoze), Norman, Sidney, and Flannery and Glacia with Thick Fat. - Toxic / Toxic Spikes. - Growl (starting move) > Mud Shot (Level 16) > Brick Break (TM31 - Sootopolis City). Item: Black Glasses TM Thunderbolt: Mauville City (help Wattson clean up New Mauville) Gyarados can typically outspeed and OHKO both with Crunch, but Persim Berries might be a good idea anyways. - Volt Tackle / Discharge - Discharge. (Left set of moves is Gallade, right set is Gardevoir) - Bullet Seed: Move Reminder in Fallarbor Town. - Energy Ball Kiwi (Dodrio) @ King's Rock Froslass is a pretty good BoltBeam user, with passable Special Attack and good Speed. Just have a Pokmon in your PC knowing Dive. - Facade (TM) Brick Break is a filler, taking advantage of the Fighting type's usefulness. Quick Attack is primarily used to conserve PP on more powerful moves, and to break Sturdy on specific Pokemon. I'm making my Swampert team that I used to beat the game. What is a good in-game team for Let's Go, Pikachu and Lets Go, Eevee? - Moonblast Ability: Overgrow > Lightning Rod - Growl (starting move) > Disarming Voice (Level 11) > Draining Kiss (Level 23) > Dazzling Gleam (TM99 - Route 123) The other three main team members should be plenty up to that point, though, and with how fantastic Salamence is, it's arguably worth the effort. - anything. [emailprotected] Item Hariyama is a very strong Pokemon with high HP and Attack stats, and has a large variety of moves to choose from. - Close Combat 1) It's the best Fire type in ORAS. Grass Knot covers Ground types. After spending a while hunting, I found a Shroomish on DexNav and it had Drain Punch so that was cool :0 I gave her the Silk Scarf because I didn't have any other items. Ability: Steadfast > Inner Focus - Yawn / Earthquake Psycho Cut- Decent power, STAB - Double Edge: Level 45 For its moves, Earthquake is its main STAB. - Ice Beam / Frost Breath Return is probably the better option, since it'll do 102 STAB consistently instead of the regular 70 STAB from Facade. - Megahorn: Level 37 You might be wondering why so few HMs. Cut - Swords Dance / X-Scissor. - Steel Wing, Item: anything Ninetales is the butt of my team, but still fills a key role. - Swords Dance 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. - Crunch - Mud-Slap (Level 9) > Dig (TM28 - Route 114) > Earthquake (TM26 - Seafloor Cavern) The last slot is a coverage holder. Despite having usable STABs, [emailprotected] is obselete on the team type-wise and is generally used as an HM Slave (mostly for Dive, but Fly is also handy before getting the Eon Flute). Finally an early Earthquaker! Surf. STAB Earthquake and Waterfall from base 150 Attack is quite strong. - Fire Blast: TM38 at Lilycove Department Store for 30k Pokedollars - Thunderbolt Quick question, what would be a good froslass alternitive? The other moves are pretty self explanatory, although you can use a mixed set with Psychic > Zen Headbutt for accuracy. Thunderbolt is STAB, Flamethower is coverage, Volt Switch is a free switch and STAB, Quick Attack is priority or Thunder Wave for paralysis. It has great coverage and usually very fast. - Calm Mind Focus Blast / False Swipe: False Swipe to help catch stuff, but Focus Blast is a great power move. - Quick Attack Which one you get doesn't really matter, as you'll hardly ever use it in battle and they learn the same HMs. People may not like spending money on TMs, and Stone Edge isn't too reliable either. Pokmon Team Builder | Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire - YouTube Ice Beam And finally, in the depths on the Shoal Cave (and by the depths I mean the first room), we meet our final permanent team member, the thicc walrus. Banette @ Banettite Focus Blast and Dragon Pulse are coverage moves, with Dragon Pulse getting STAB from Mega-Sceptile. Skarmory for Cut, Strength, Rock Smash, and Fly. Banette is probably better. - anything. Equip an Oran Berry or use Potions during the battle to survive Nosepass Rock Tombs. Shadow Claw to help against Ghost types is another option. He's probably one of my best team members due to his high Speed and Attack. Milotic is also another option, but evolving Feebas is a hassle. Linoone is basically a HM Slave with Cut, Strength and Rock Smash. You make a Pokemon stronger and get Gallade much earlier at the same time! - Earthquake Brick Break/Dazzling Gleam - X-Scissor But anyways, Swampert is a great pick because he fills the spot for the Water HM user and he has a great movepool.
