Also, I must respectfully disagree with you on Aggron and Surf. Swampert @Swampertite/Whatever else you'd like At least all the moves are STAB :/, Aki (Breloom) @ Silk Scarf Fly- Good power, STAB, useful in-game Sky Uppercut is a pretty good Fighting STAB if you don't want the 10% chance to lose half your HP. Items are only examples and Abilities are only recommended. - Ice Beam 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. Its easily able to be incorporated earlier, however, and does well against the multitude of Water and Flying types in the game. While it is an HM slave, I do recommend you use it in battle as well. - Dragon Pulse Stopping the new Fairies in their tracks doesn't hurt either. - Waterfall / Surf - Surf (HM) Fire Blast and Flamethrower are great moves, but I prefer Fire Blast because of Contests. - Thunderbolt / Discharge Don't evolve Vibrava until Level 47, so it can learn Boomburst. - Shadow Ball Ability: Pure Power. So Energy Ball is STAB, Dragon Claw is STAB as a mega and Earthquake and Rock Slide cover all other weaknesses. Ability: Blaze If you're worried about Earthquake, you can use Magnet Rise as your final move, or either Reflect or Light Screen if you're not too fussed about it. - Rock Slide I call it a SpA Sweeper Specialist. I have finished the game twice and now I'm doing it again. - Leech Seed Knock Off: Good coverage move, removes items. Swampert - holding Swampertite with the moves: -Surf -Earthquake -Ice beam -Rock Slide Magcargo - holding heat rock with the moves: -earth power -overheat -amnesia -Sunny day Magnezone holding. As for the last two slots, it's up to preference. - Shadow Ball - Flamethrower Good team. Sceptile Swampert is very strong. - Mud-Slap (Level 9) > Dig (TM28 - Route 114) > Earthquake (TM26 - Seafloor Cavern) Flamethrower: A great coverage move. - Solar Beam Roserade: Route 117 (Roselia), Super Training (Shiny Stone) but they are not necessary. - Volt Tackle / Discharge What is a good in-game team for Scarlet and Violet? - Giga Drain Waterfall is also a great move but in my opinion Aqua Tail is better, thanks for the suggestions though :). - Dragon Claw. - Cut Supersalamence93 here bringing you another Pokemon Team builder. - Rain Dance / Rock Slide / Hammer Arm. - Dragon Claw Hariyama is a very strong Pokemon with high HP and Attack stats, and has a large variety of moves to choose from. Really, just here for raw power and Waterfall. Also try for moves with decent base power and more PP as not everyone carries lots of Leppa Berries and will save trips to the Pokmon centre, this team is merely a suggestion so people can use whatever they feel like so it doesn't matter what I post as long as it is related and appropriate (am I right?). - Swords Dance - Return / Brick Break. Ability: Pickup - Flash Cannon 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. With access to Swords Dance, it could be a potential sweeper. Gardevoir is a great Pokemon in Gen 6 becuase of its new Fairy typing. Sub-par Attack at base 85 and very bad defenses. - Iron Tail Just don't use against a Grass type. - Knock Off if you want to change a move be. Type disadvantage is an issue with Fire types but you can change one move to Earthquake or use Aggron with Surf. What is a good in-game team for Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon? Skyler (Flygon) @ anything His defenses aren't that bad so he can hold in there longer than most and he has a really good Special Attack. Thunderbolt: Given by Wattson after calming the box legendary and investigating New Mauville - Acid (idk why I chose this but its what mine had) 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. - Ice Fang: Level 32 - Howl (starting move) > Spark (Level 13) > Discharge (Level 30) Camerupt Getting Protean was one of the things I was actually patient enough for. - Earthquake 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. - Ice Beam - Iron Head. Sidney: Give Gardevoir a Persim Berry and send it in against Mightyena to block Swagger and safely KO with Dazzling Gleam. - Roost Lucy (Ninetales) @ Pecha Berry 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. Stealth Rock. Swampert's strongest moveset is Mud Shot & Hydro Cannon and it has a Max CP of 2,974. Swampert Tropius Banette Absol Mawile Flygon Team 3: Blaziken Grumpig Breloom Walrein Zangoose Altaria Currently Hunting: WishIhadaManafi5, MockingJ and shoz999 N Nebbygetinthebag Well-Known Member Dec 28, 2018 #8 My team in Emerald was: Blaziken, Ludicolo, Gardevoir, Sableye, Aggron and Flygon. - Dragon Pulse: from Battle Resort Move Tutor for 12BP - Swords Dance / X-Scissor. Surf is preferred over Waterfall because of its higher base power, and Waterfall works better on Gyarados anyways. Thunderbolt is your Electric STAB move, Flash Cannon is your Steel STAB move, Thunder Wave cripples opponents and can help with Magnezone's bad Speed, and Charge Beam can buff up their Special Attack so they can tear through teams. Can deal with Psychics with Dark Pulse and X-Scissor. Stone Edge comes in handy for dealing with Flying types and countering Fire and Ice types, so it synergizes with Thick Fat. Ideally, this is the Pokemon you want Ninjask to Baton Pass to. Roserade @ Miracle Seed If you can't get it, Hyper Voice is the next best bet. Before you ask why I have two Megas on this team, I Mega Evolve a different one depending on the situation. What is a good in-game team for Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl? Omega Ruby. - (filler move). - False Swipe / Swords Dance - Surf - Waterfall It or Hariyama can deal with Sharpedo, and Gardevoir cleanly OHKOes the rest of Sidneys team. Pick Up = free crap. Surf is good for dealing with pesky Fire types. - Zap Cannon - Stone Edge - Iron Tail. Quick question, what would be a good froslass alternitive? - Flash Cannon - Brave Bird Moonblast is STAB and anti-Dragon. - Sludge Wave. - Air Slash / Fly - Dragon Claw Shadow Sneak: Priority STAB. Banette @ Banettite - Blaze Kick / Flare Blitz - Waterfall Only use it if you didn't choose Brick Break. - Strength 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. Return is probably the better option, since it'll do 102 STAB consistently instead of the regular 70 STAB from Facade. Bulk Up wasnt particularly useful at any point during the game, so the extra power Close Combat provided is generally the better idea. Ralts can be obtained in a horde encounter on Route 104. Flannery: Marshtomp easily solos this Gym with Mud Shot as well. Zangoose @ Silk Scarf Earthquake is Earthquake, no explanation needed. - Volt Switch / Thunder Wave - Surf Swmapert can also be an HM slave. What is a good in-game team for Sword and Shield? I'm about to challenge the E4 while writing this: Cuddles (Swampert) @ Swampertite - Flash Cannon Swampert is the best starter because it is only weak to Grass, but there are no Grass Gyms or Elite Four. This is a list of major battles the team will have to contend with. Waterfall is Sharpedo's main attacking Water move and allows you to climb waterfalls. - Earthquake Ability: Pickup - High Jump Kick / Sky Uppercut 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. Swampert @ Swampertite - Flare Blitz / Blaze Kick Personally, I just catch the first Ralts I come across. - Ice Punch. - Crunch Magical Leaf comes in handy against Water/Ground types that Manectric can't touch, as well as Rock/Ground types. - Thunderbolt - Psycho Cut The first three are to utilize Sceptile's very high Special Attack. Flip Turn. - Recover Ability: Rough Skin TM Thunderbolt: Mauville City (help Wattson clean up New Mauville) - Nasty Plot - Leaf Blade - Thunder Wave It is vulnerable to Grass moves. - Drill Peck Stone Edge: Lilycove Department Store Gardevoir @ Gardevoirite Swords Dance boosts its already decent attack and makes it a good physical sweeper, especially when Mega Evolved. I have one question though. Any good water type alternatives for Walrein or Milotic? - Fly - Ice Beam Ability: Clear Body / Liquid Ooze before Flannery, not enough coverage, id replace delcatty with a linnone hm slave and mightyana with garnavor with movesets of. We all know how constricting HMs can be otherwise (especially before getting to Lilycove), so let's get started. Drake: Gyarados can set up two Dragon Dances on Altaria and proceed to sweep Drakes entire team. Ability: Pressure / Super Luck --> Magic Bounce Swampert is an amphibian-like Pokmon with a bulky frame and four thick limbs, the two longer ones at the front serving as arms while the shorter limbs provide support for the creature if it chooses to stand upright. 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 Pre-poisoning Hariyama with Guts makes it nigh unstoppable, especially if youre playing on switch mode. Manectric is a great Pokemon with high Speed and Special Attack, which is further boosted with its Mega Evolution. This little guy is really good, and try to send out before Swampert so it can use Mega Swampert's Ability (Swift Swim). A very good wall, with good attacking stats but low Speed. Close Combat: Great coverage move. - Earthquake: TM26 from Seafloor Cavern beneath Route 128. Magnezone will be great help against Norman and Winona, but watch out for Earthquake on Altaria. Wally (Walrein) @ Never-Melt Ice Dragon Pulse / Dive: Dragon Pulse for coverage or Dive for another HM. 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. I'm pretty sure Slaking doesn't pack Earthquake, but just bear that in mind as well. - Return - Surf / Dive as it is needed for the story mode. - Psychic Share your best in-game teams for Pokemon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire on this thread! - Confuse Ray. It can even learn Blizzard or Ice Beam to deal with Grass Pokemon by itself, but it isn't. Remember: Mega Evolve Heracross at all times!! After it was of no use to me, I taught it Hidden Power again. Dragon Claw: Meteor Falls, in the WAY WAY back (requires Surf and Waterfall) Ability: Synchronize - Thunderbolt - Fly - Giga Drain. Ability: Synchronize You can include items, abilities, etc. I didn't really think of Medicham as something that was very worthwhile, but I tried it out as I wanted to use Azumarill. Every team needs that tank that makes everyone mad when it endures everything you throw at it. Sludge Wave is also good for the Grass types, along with Ice Beam. It was a pain to train her up as a Vulpix but it was totally worth it. 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. - Steel Wing, Item: anything Ability: Guts - Thunder Wave (starting move) > Bite (Level 24) > Flamethrower (TM35 - Victory Road) Ability: Sturdy Ability: Rock Head Dragon STAB is surprisingly rare in Hoenn and hits a lot of things for fantastic neutral damage. You're going to need an Electric type. - Overheat Night Slash- Decent power, covers Ghost weakness. Flamethrower Hariyama will be able to take on Roxanne, Wattson (with Bulldoze), Norman, Sidney, and Flannery and Glacia with Thick Fat. Heracross @ Heracronite Ninetales is the butt of my team, but still fills a key role. Ability: Levitate - Sludge Bomb - Strength - Thunderbolt. Linoone - Focus Blast: TM52 from Lilycove Department Store for 30k Pokedollars Strength: HM if not on Hariyama. Cut Swellow @ Sharp Beak Your choice of Ralts evolution. - Nuzzle I have a soft spot for Treecko. TM71 Stone Edge can be purchased from the Lilycove Department Store for 30,000 Pokmon Dollars. - Earthquake - Return / Facade Seviper @ anything Cross Poison is also STAB, and Steel Wing and X-Scissor are coverage against Rock, Ice and Psychic types. - Stone Edge - Dark Pulse. Pyre), Will-O-Wisp (TM61 - Mt. - Cut A great Pokemon that can set up Sunny Day to boost STAB Flamethrower and make Solar Beam hit in one turn. Kiwi is my flyer. - Rock Slide, Swords Dance- Most of the useful moves Sceptile can learn are physical. Any good alternatives to moonblast? Raichu is fast enough to not need Quick Attack. - Magic Coat This is a very balanced team around Mudkip. - Drain Punch (Assuming you don't throw out Mega Sceptile in front of Glacia or something), Sceptile @ Sceptilite - Earth Power Fly Linoone = Pick Up Best Team for Hoenn ft. Zeldawars MysticUmbreon 581K subscribers Join Subscribe 27K 2.7M views 6 years ago Hey guys welcome to the Best Team For Hoenn. Various HMs: Given throughout the main story (Gift) - Quick Attack Good Defense and high Special Attack, but its other stats are low. Teams should be aimed toward making casual runs of the game efficient, enjoyable and hassle-free. - Rock Smash - Cut (HM) - Dual Chop Actually camperupt has 5 more SpAttack than Attack. This Pokemon is used for Tate & Liza and Phoebe, but if it sets up a few Swords Dances, you can sweep most teams. -Moonblast Woah. Good Special Attack, Special Defense and Speed, but low HP and Defense. 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. Ability: Thick Fat STAB Earthquake and Waterfall from base 150 Attack is quite strong. I think Aggron is worse than Gyarados because it's unable to sweep the Elite 4 like Gyarados can. Also raichu is one of my favorite pokemon. About "Swampert is very strong. - Dragon Claw - Bite (Level 20) > Crunch (Level 41) If Absol has Super Luck, your Night Slashes and Psycho Cuts will most likely crit. A Mega Evolution is what it needs ;~; Sharpedo @ Sharpedonite - Crunch 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. - Waterfall / Surf / Dive - Poison Jab - Shadow Sneak. An awesome tank that can take physical hits very well. - Seed Bomb Return / Facade: STAB move. For its moves, Close Combat is its strongest Fighting type move, but if you don't want the stat drops you can choose Brick Break instead. - Dig Return: Pacifidlog Town - Iron Head [emailprotected]: Southern Island (Gift) However if you don't have the time to get Protean, just catch the first one, and SR for a good Nature. With DexNav, walking outside the strip of grass on Route 102 closest to Petalburg City will eventually force a Ralts encounter. - Close Combat - Ice Beam Kiwi (Dodrio) @ King's Rock Ability: Volt Absorb It can stand on its three-toed feet with a hunched posture, and pick up or grab objects with its hands, but when moving about it tends to run . - Thunderbolt Ability: Flash Fire I guess you could use Eathquake. - Waterfall. Raichu @ Air Balloon Aqua Tail is STAB and the rest is coverage (Crunch is STAB if Mega). Magical Leaf is good for Rock types and Water types. Steven: Lead Manectric into Skarmory, and Quick Attack to break Sturdy before KOing with Discharge. 81.9kg Male:87.5% Female:12.5% Monster Water 1: National Pokdex Hoenn Pokdex Abilities Hidden . Here's the team I played through Omega Ruby with! Shadow Ball: Mt Pyre, the giant casket room with the Medichamite Roserade is here to deal with Water types when the Ralts evo of the team can't. Item: Cameruptite or Charcoal Fake Out / Rock Slide / Power-Up Punch: Fake Out for some damage, Rock Slide helps against Flying types and Power-Up Punch is STAB that raises Attack. Gardevoir - Earthquake. - Thunderbolt - Protect. Nothing is greater than a Swampert. Surf: STAB and an HM. Moonblast can be learnt at level 62, however it can be learnt sooner by going to the Move Reminder and getting him to teach it, it in exchange for a Heart Scale. TM50 Overheat is awarded to the player as a prize for defeating Flannery. The moves give the best coverage he can have. Your not wrong but Aggron is good against the Ice E4 member and Dragon E4 combined with its OP defence stat when you mega evolve it and its Steel/Rock typing is removed when it mega so it become a pure Steel type so its quite a defensive tank but I also see why you put Gyarados on your team. - Fly - High Jump Kick Earthquake. - Earthquake: see above You just have to. 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. Moving on to Route 102, we catch a Ralts, who eventually becomes Gardevoir! That said, you can take advantage of Crobat's high Speed and good Attack to end most Pokemon quickly with STAB Acrobatics and Cross Poison. If you're playing during the special shiny Beldum event, I would say replace Froslass with Metagross. - U-turn. - Moonblast - Fly For a held item use Leftovers to keep Swampert in the game as long as possible to bring the pain. - Rock Slide / Hidden Power [Water]. Swampert is a great starter becuase its only weakness is Grass. Ability: Torrent --> Swift Swim Deadly against Dragon types and can use Shadow Ball on fellow Psychics. This is a good team but could I use swampert instead Of skeptile and replace gyrados with breloom. - Extrasensory / Shadow Ball. Fly and Steel Wing are STAB, Night Slash is coverage and Spikes or Toxic are great status moves. Since I decided to play through the game with the Exp. - Sludge Bomb - Roost. Some other Pokemon were used for some of these battles, and those instances will be noted with alternatives. As good as any other Pokemon are, Mega Heracross is a flat out boss. 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. If you recommend a Pokemon that is restricted by version exclusivity, trade evolution or events, please, Do not recommend Pokemon, moves, etc. - Ice Beam / Frost Breath For every Pokemon on the team, give recommended moves for use throughout the playthrough. Surf- Good power, STAB, useful in-game Creepy Pokedex entries aside, this Pokmon has great Speed. Rock Head is a must for Double-Edge. Rock Slide is another option and covers most of his weaknesses, but Earthquake is just overall better due to its higher power and accuracy.
