Found at the route after Rustboro and Petalburg Woods, Swellow can be quite useful in battle and as a flyer. Ah, the evolution to the infamous Pikablu. - Thunderbolt. Aggron has high Defense that can help it serve as an effective tank. - Ice Beam. Sludge Wave is also good for the Grass types, along with Ice Beam. Frost Breath is better in most cases, because it'll be 120 STAB rather than 90, bar random Shell Armour Pokemon. - Drain Punch Iron Tail is STAB anti-Fairy, Stone Edge is also STAB. The other HM Slave of the team, your game's respective Lati Twin. - Shadow Ball Dive Hariyama @ Silk Scarf - Stone Edge 3) It has access to many great TMs & Move Tutors.

Ability: Inner Focus Which one you get doesn't really matter, as you'll hardly ever use it in battle and they learn the same HMs. Because his Attack was already pretty good compared to his Special Attack, there's no doubt about whether or not it would be a physical set. We all know how constricting HMs can be otherwise (especially before getting to Lilycove), so let's get started. Crabhammer is just powerful STAB. - Stone Edge / Rock Slide This guy has very good Attack and has a good movepool. 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. - High Jump Kick / Sky Uppercut Ability: Torrent Manectric's moveset is very simple, consisting of only one STAB and coverage.

Seviper @ anything - Steel Wing, Item: anything Giga Drain is also STAB and Shadow Ball is for type coverage.

Dragon Breath 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 While everyone thinks Dawn Stones are a pain to obtain just use Super Training! Breloom/Sitrus Berry Hasty Nature - Mach Punch (lvl 23) Ability: Thick Fat - Growl (starting move) > Disarming Voice (Level 11) > Draining Kiss (Level 23) > Dazzling Gleam (TM99 - Route 123) U-turn- Good power, allows you to switch Pokemon without wasting a turn. The dual STAB moves mow down anything that's weak to them, Shadow Ball covers Ghosts, and Thunderbolt is great overall. - Surf > Cut Once you get the EXP Share, however, levelling it up becomes trivial. Knock Off: Covers Hariyama's Psychic weakness and removes items. Crobat @ nothing if you want Acrobatics Thunderbolt is a strong electric move that is helped by Gardevoir's high Special Attack, especially helpful against Wallace and Steven's Skarmory. Seafloor Cavern Archie: Gardevoir handily deals with Archies entire team, but if youre scared of Crobat outspeeding, switch to Manectric for Discharge. - Moonblast: Level 62 or Move Reminder in Fallarbor Town - Rock Slide. Dragon STAB is surprisingly rare in Hoenn and hits a lot of things for fantastic neutral damage. This makes it a great defensive lead for a team that needs a reliable entry hazard setter. - Thunderbolt - Mach Punch 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. In these cases, the more generally helpful item will be noted instead. Ability: Natural Cure > Pixilate Ability: Overgrow -> Lightning Rod Route 118 is also the location you get the Good Rod.

Ability: Torrent 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). - Dig Flamethrower: A great coverage move. - Cut A great Pokemon that adds to this teams diversity, Psychic and Moonblast are STAB.

They also have a Mega Evolution that makes that Dragon-type, which is pretty handy. - Recover Stone Edge- Great power. - Crunch Especially Stone Edge. Swampert is the aforementioned starter that's an absolute beast in competitive matches and can carry teams in PVE. Night Slash: Helps against Psychic types. TM50 Overheat is awarded to the player as a prize for defeating Flannery. Power-Up Punch is just there to make his Attack even more OP, and the rest are coverage or fillers. Aerial Ace for Fighting types. It can be given a Wacan Berry in case Salamence connects with a Thunder Punch, but its very difficult to lose this battle. U don;t have to lug it arround, just have it sit in that PC box of yours until you need it. Bellossom - Rock Slide / Stone Edge. With access to Swords Dance, it could be a potential sweeper. An awesome tank that can take physical hits very well. - Flamethrower You make a Pokemon stronger and get Gallade much earlier at the same time! Remember: Mega Evolve Heracross at all times!! Also raichu is one of my favorite pokemon. This Pokmon is a beast in battle and in the Contests. The last move is a variety of coverage moves. - Shadow Ball - Focus Blast / False Swipe. Blaze Kick was Blaziken's signature move and it's an all-around great Fire STAB. - Splash (starting move) > Leer (Level 26) > Aqua Tail (Level 35) > Waterfall (HM05 - Sootopolis Gym) - Zap Cannon Ideally, comment on more than just the four moves you'll . Replace bulldoze with belly drum and get aqua jet on it somehow. Knock Off is helpful so Hariyama doesnt get completely walled by Ghosts types, but it should still be kept away from Psychic types. I also used a Metagross, but you can't get that easily anymore. - Volt Switch. Make sure to use the Move Relearner on Gardevoir to get Moonbast. - Rock Slide / Stone Edge / Facade / Dive. This is the newest addition to the team. Surf- Good power, STAB, useful in-game Linoone - Dragon Pulse / Dive. - Rock Smash, Swellow @ anything For its moves, Earthquake is its main STAB. Magnezone @ Magnet I know that this is old, but replace Moonblast with Hyper Voice for the Pixilate boost. Manectric is only able to deal with Winona and Wallace with Thunderbolt, and Glacia with Flamethrower. - Grass Pledge / Giga Drain Shadow Ball handles Psychic types, Dazzling Gleam smacks Dragon- and Dark-types hard, and Grass Whistle, despite its coin-flip accuracy, is still good. Please follow these guidelines regarding detail in your post: Please also follow these guidelines regarding the contents of your team: Submit your team as an answer, not a comment.

Gyarados is an exceptionally useful Pokmon ingame. - Thunder Wave (starting move) > Bite (Level 24) > Flamethrower (TM35 - Victory Road) Gardevoir will be able to take on Brawley, Sidney, and Drake with it's moves. - Earthquake: see above - Thunderbolt Ability: Blaze > Speed Boost ), Item: Swampertite - Rock Smash Ability: Sturdy Fly is more for convenience than damage, but it could work well in combination with Swamperts Surf in a Double Battle. With these moves, Swampert can beat Roxanne, Wattson, Flannery, Tate and Liza, and most of Team Magma's grunts and admins. Thunder Wave / Hidden Power [Ice]: Always try for Hidden Power [Ice] for coverage, but otherwise Thunder Wave to catch stuff and paralyse an enemy. - Howl (starting move) > Spark (Level 13) > Discharge (Level 30) He has amazing Special Defence and good Attack, and a pretty great movepool. - Strength. 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. Sure, it's not the fastest- but its. - Double Hit - Blaze Kick / Flare Blitz Banette helps against Phoebe and Sceptile, Walrein or Milotic can all handle Drake. Vivi (Aggron) @ Lucky Egg - Fake Out / Focus Blast, Jolteon @ Air Balloon Yawn / Earthquake: Yawn if you can be bothered breeding it. Ability: Overgrow > Lightning Rod 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. - Night Slash. - Brick Break: TM31 in Sootopolis City. Getting Protean was one of the things I was actually patient enough for. I would suggest adding a Mega Stone to it, so it can actually use good Flying STAB, but that isn't available until after the postgame, to it's in the same boat as Swampert's Ice Punch, i.e. Ability: Flash Fire Absol has a super high Attack stat and good Speed. Kiwi is my flyer. 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. Item: Silk Scarf Thunderbolt- Good power, STAB - Coil If Absol has Super Luck, your Night Slashes and Psycho Cuts will most likely crit. Medicham is a great Pokemon with good stats and a good movepool. For example, Hariyama is a tank and a strong attacker. Toxic Spikes has to be used twice to badly poison, but it affects the whole team. - Cut, Sableye - Steel Wing - anything. I like how you added altaria to the team, altaria is one of my favorites. Moonblast and Psychic are its main STAB, and Shadow Ball is Ghost coverage. Kiwi (Dodrio) @ King's Rock Ability: Static What is a good in-game team for Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon? If Manectric has a good Hidden Power type such as Ice, Grass or Water, keep Hidden Power as your main move, otherwise discard it. 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. Who needs an Uber starter and the only Grass/Dragon type? I was just looking through for some ideas for my team and I think a Sceptile team is pretty good like this: Sceptile @ Sceptilite Manectric The first options are for a safer playstyle, while the second set hits harder, but might kill you in the process. You can get a Carvanha with a Good Rod on Route 118, however they aren't very common so you'll have to keep trying until you get one. 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. Fly and Steel Wing are STAB, Night Slash is coverage and Spikes or Toxic are great status moves. - Earthquake - Earthquake. - Earthquake / Knock Off / Heavy Slam / Poison Jab. While Treecko might not be the best starter available, it certainly can still hold his own against Hoenn, especially because there is loads of water (insert IGN joke here). 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. Flash improves your visibility in dark caves, although it isn't really needed. But then it will have a very low level and need a lot of experience before it becomes useful. - Poison Jab 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. Is a TM slave a thing? - Bite (starting move) > X-Scissor (TM80 - Victory Road) Swords Dance boosts its already decent attack and makes it a good physical sweeper, especially when Mega Evolved. There are some strategies used in a Nuzlocke that arent necessarily helpful in a casual run, like equipping specific berries. 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. [emailprotected] Expert Belt Ability: Static 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. After it was of no use to me, I taught it Hidden Power again. Surf: Until a Water type is obtained. - Sand-Attack (starting move) > Knock Off (Level 19) Yawn. (Assuming you don't throw out Mega Sceptile in front of Glacia or something), Sceptile @ Sceptilite - Sludge Bomb - Knock Off - Earthquake 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. 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. They have a really good movepool and who wouldn't want to fly around the huge Hoenn region on a dragon?! Alright, so this will be your starter obviously. - Will-O-Wisp Don't give Linoone an item as pickup gives random stuff like Revives and Repels, for Flygon don't give Yache berry as many people are just too lazy to find where they planted berries (or even plant them in the first place).and it's one time use, some random wild Pokmon's Ice-type move would waste the berry. Ability: Immunity Aggron @ Assault Vest With Mega Sceptile's high Special Attack, it's a great filler move, plus it seems to come in handy a lot (other than its bad accuracy). Ability: Trace / Synchronize > Pixilate - Ice Beam If you ever need Giga Drain again, you can reteach it; you don't have that option if you let Treecko evolve at L16. Double Edge is general coverage as a very strong move, especially given the Rock Head Ability. Magnezone is easily one of the best, if not the best, Electric-types in the game, only contested by Manectric. - Rock Smash (HM) Before you ask why I have two Megas on this team, I Mega Evolve a different one depending on the situation. Ability: Inner Focus Power-Up Punch is better just because it will always raise Attack and is 100% accurate. - Psycho Cut On the rare occasion you do use it in battle, Dragon Breath paralyzes everything without the Fairy typing and your respective Lati's signature move exists. 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. Sludge Bomb- Good power, STAB Ice Beam: Good against Grass types. You can also take on Winona with Stone Edge, but it is not recommended. Ability: Marvel Scale / Oblivious Aside from giving you free stuff, Linoone also doubles as a pretty good HM user, and a decent battle Pokemon with only Headbutt. Ability: Pickup Mega-Pokmon adds a great boost to Pokmon. I'm making my Swampert team that I used to beat the game. - Thunder Wave / Hidden Power [Ice] - Sludge Wave. - Earthquake Dazzling Gleam / Will-O-Wisp: Dark types will walk all over Banette without Dazzling Gleam, but Will-O-Wisp is good for burns. - False Swipe / Swords Dance - Dragon Claw Weezing has pretty good moves, pretty good stats, and a good defensive typing, which paired with Levitate, makes it a great physical wall. - Fly Sceptile. - Bullet Seed: Move Reminder in Fallarbor Town. Share your best in-game teams for Pokemon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire on this thread! - Rain Dance / Rock Slide / Hammer Arm. This is a good team but could I use swampert instead Of skeptile and replace gyrados with breloom. - Close Combat - Ice Beam To get Dragon Dance, first reach the Pokmon League. - Psyshock: TM03 at Pacifidlog Town. - Growl (starting move) > Mud Shot (Level 16) > Brick Break (TM31 - Sootopolis City). Ability: Trace There are others moves you could use here, like Sunny Day or Amnesia. Rock Smash - Waterfall. Gardevoir @ Gardevoirite - Steel Wing - Brick Break / Strength Earth Power is coverage and Yawn is also an option. Ice Beam is coverage against Grass types until you get to the Battle Resort, at which point you should swap it for Ice Punch. - Moonblast / Dazzling Gleam. - Rock Smash. Until then, use whatever item you think works.
