Team and Types

[minitrini]

What types of pokes would be needed for the e4, and what would be a good team for the whole game (emerald)

Ive got, so far

Gardevoir,Swampert,Raichu/Electrike(which one?),Rapidash/Cmerupt(which one)

[cyndaquil Master]

riachu and camerupt totally.

[minitrini]

Totally pwnzorz??

Wjhat shoudl the other two be?

[Meno]

Crobat, Metagross, or a Salemence. If you need them, ask about the movesets: I don't want to waste time posting them if you have no need.

[minitrini]

any other suggestions?

Ill prb take salmmy and crobat, but what should thier moveset be?

[DragoniteMistress]

Neither Raichu or Electrike. I prefer Magneton, most Electric-type Pokemon don't have a decent enough HP to last in a battle for long but with Magneton's high defense and with it being partially Steel, it makes up for it. Even though you should watch out for Ground types or Fire types:ermm:

Personally I think this is a good team:

Swampert
Camerupt
Gardevoir
Magneton
Umbreon (via trade/breed)
Crobat/Walrein

That's the team I would assemble to take down whatever your going up against.

[minitrini]

Sounds good. What is magnetons weakest stat? And is there any other poke that would be good insted of an umbreon or crobat/walrien(i cant get any trades for an umbreon)

[absol2005]

I think it's sp. defense.

[DragoniteMistress]

Magnemite's weakest stat is Sp. Defense but once it evolves its Sp. Defense is around the same area as it's Attack, Defense, and Speed.

Tanks are kind of hard to find for me... Magneton's weakest stat is you guessed it, it's HP but it's defense from it being an Electric/Steel type makes up for it easily. it's best stat is Sp. Attack and when it comes to Thunderbolt you'll have to TM teach it to it. Here's Magneton's moves:


MOVE LEVEL
Metal Sound -
Tackle -
Thundershock -
Supersonic -
Sonicboom 16
Thunder Wave 21
Spark 26
Lock-On 35
Tri Attack 44
Screech 53
Zap Cannon 62

Evolves from Magnemite at level 30.

Ability 1: Magnet Pull
Ability 2: Sturdy

That's a basic Magneton for you. A moveset that I would choose would be

Zap Cannon
Lock-On
Tri Attack
(Your choice move)

or

Thunderbolt
Tri Attack
Hidden Power (Water, if possible, I don't know much about Hidden Power, forgive me!)
Metal Sound

I prefer the second moveset...

[Seawolf]

any other suggestions?

Ill prb take salmmy and crobat, but what should thier moveset be?

Oh, I know Sally too well.

Salamence @ Leftovers
- Dragon Dance
- Rock Slide
- Earthquake
- Hidden Power [Flying]

Adamant nature preferred. If you don't want to get an HP move, you could replace it with an elemental move or Brick Break. You could also give him all Special moves (Dragon Claw, Flamethrower, etc.) with a Modest nature.

[minitrini]

Thank you.

I would like to knw what tpes to have with the elite four, and what types of moves

By types i mean like lelectric, ghost, ground, e.t.c

[DragoniteMistress]

You could have just editted your post by the way.

When you are going up against Sydney I suggest bringing...

Fighting/Fire/Electric

When you are going up against Phoebe I suggest bringing...

Dark

When you are going up against Glacia I suggest bringing...

Fire/Electric

When you are going up against Drake I suggest bringing...

Ice/Dragon

When you are going up against Steven I suggest bringing...

Fire/Ground/Electric

So you're team should have these types:

Fighting, Fire, Electric, Dark, Ice/Dragon (Maybe a Salamence or Flygon with Ice Beam), and Ground

[minitrini]

fOR EMERALD. sO ITS NOT STEVEN, BUT Wallace.


So guys, tell me how this team sounds.

Raichu
Gardevoir
Swampert
Flygon
Camerupt
And...I need this spot for a type to cover one of the e4s that I am not covering (for emerald, and I cant trade from other games, so it has to be in gmae)

[Meno]

Can we get some movesets??

[minitrini]

Im not coverning movesets yet, just the actual pokes;.

[Ultima Shadow]

k. With Wallace, a good Grass type should beware of Poison and Ice attacks. Electric is also a good choice.

btw, when he has Milotic out, simply hit it with your strongest physical attacks, and don't give it a status effect. So... I'd give Raichu:

Thunderbolt/Thunder
Thunder Wave (not for Milotic)
Attract
Focus Punch

Also, when you see Ludicolo and Whiscash, get your Raichu outta there.

[celebi]

For raichu

rain dance
thunder
thunder bolt
substitute/mega punch
this is also a good move set.

[minitrini]

Ok. I have an electric, Phychic, Ground/Dragon, Water/ground, and fire. I need another type, and what would be a good poke for this type? Also, who should I teach earthquake too? Flygon, Swanpert or Camerupt?

Can I get some movesets for these three also?

[celebi]

you should teach earthquake to Flygon if you have only 1 tm but if you have more teach them all :) Swampert will learn it at level 52.
Flygon

flame thrower
dragon claw
dragon dance(hope that it learns)/Earthquake
ice beam/crunch

Swampert
Surf
ice beam
Earthquake
Endeavor

Camerupt
Never trained one but it could be something like this.

magnitude
flame thrower
rock slide
Dunno:)

You will probably throw camerupt and flygon to your pc in time so it's not so important.Go challenge the pokemon league now.It's no big deal at all.

[Seawolf]

For raichu

rain dance
thunder
thunder bolt
substitute/mega punch
this is also a good move set.

Why have Thunder and Thunderbolt? Thunder Wave would be a better choice, I think.

[celebi]

thunder for rain dance thunder bolt for one turn weak pokemons.:wink:

[Espeon Rinage]

I think for Richu.

Richu@Leftovers
- Surf
- T-Bolt
- Focus Punch
- Sub

Not sure on EV's. Might Help you later with them

But thats MO on the Richu Mset. But im not a master at them, so dont 100% trust that set

[Seawolf]

Raichu isn't compatible with Surf. :x

[celebi]

It would be funny if you could surf on a Raichu.Shocking every pokemon and you as it's passing by the sea :biggrin:

[Meno]

you should teach earthquake to Flygon if you have only 1 tm but if you have more teach them all :) Swampert will learn it at level 52.
Flygon

Swampert

Sad. Just sad...

1) NEITHER. DD would be pointless since all other moves are special, and EQ doesn't go with its special boveset. Use Crunch, so that the the afterwards move is just Ice Beam.

2)-EQ. -Endeavor. +Mirror Coat, and a SPECIAL filler, or rest, etc.

3)I have also never trained a Camerupt, but Flabethrower is bad on the mostly physical Camerupt.

[Ultima Shadow]

Raichu isn't compatible with Surf. :x

If you fill up some slots in Pokemon Box (1499, I think), I believe you can acquire Surfing Pichu. Just evolve that and you're done, :)

[celebi]

You are right about Flygon.DD is pointless just as you say.
For mirror coat he has to find a female swampert which is very hard. The move set I gave for swampert is preety awesome I think.It's a water ground pokemon you need surf and earthquake for sure.
and Will you not teach a fire pokemon flamethrower :neutral:

[minitrini]

I'm in slateport city right now.(Second time around). I just want to know what pokes to catch to train, insted of being at the ef, and having to find and train a level 28 picachu to a level 60 rraichu.

[minitrini]

Ok thankx.

All I need is one more pokemon.

I have a

Gardevoir
camerupt
swampert
raichu
flygon.

What else do I need?

[celebi]

Salamence is fine for your team.Are you still training for elite 4 xD go battle them you have fine pokemon for now.

[Fossil Fusion]

Salamence is fine for your team.Are you still training for elite 4 xD go battle them you have fine pokemon for now.
But if he did that no point really in flygon :/

[celebi]

yes forgot about flygon but I just love salamence. He will probably store his flygon to his pc as he uses it for a while.I guess he can take out the elite 4 with 5 pokemons.I have never made it with six yet.:biggrin:

[Fossil Fusion]

I think he needs some tank that takes hits like weezing try to get these breeding moves.

Weezing@Leftovers

Sludge Bomb
Pain Split
Will-O-Wisp
Haze

Breeding moves in bold Weezing rocks your socks :o

[Meno]

Teach it FP instead of Sludge Bomb. It will be harder to use, but, after a while, people will give up on offense due to pain split, so you'll manage it!

[minitrini]

Gardevoir, Swampert, Flygon, Raichu, I need two more (not traded). Does anyone know a good fire type instead of Camerupt? I'm kind of bored using him. Also, if anyones knows a tyope of poke that is not usually used to fight the E4, but is still good against it(again, not traded{i.e, a Rapidash), can you tell me? Again, also, I need some good movesets.

[Meno]

How about a Houndoom?
White Herb
Overheat
Crunch
HP Ice
Filler

[Tory vs Meaty II]

Crobat, Metagross, or a Salemence. If you need them, ask about the movesets: I don't want to waste time posting them if you have no need.
Yes, I rather go with that.

[Syotica]

An egg-raised Aggron with a defensive nature and item would do pretty well defense-wise.

[minitrini]

Yeah, but the thing is, I can't get a metagross, or a houndoom, before the E4. If you could tell me just two more types that I need, I'm sure I could figure out something.

P.S. Is a Swellow Needed? I have one on my team, but I'm thinking of storing him. What use would he have in the E4?

[pokeplayer66]

riahcu sucks. electrikes grass and eletreic is perfect for wallaces all water team. swellows ok but i was thinking sabeleye. and camerupt is great get him eq, fire blast, eruption, rock slide

[minitrini]

Ok, A Banette sounds good. I'm thinking of exchanging my Flygon for an Altaria, Because I used him in my last game, and I want to try out ome new pokes. Also, no Camerupt. Same story as flygon. Can you think of any other good fire types?


P.S. , I need A good moveset for banette, and if not an Altaria, what other poke would be good (dragon)(not salmenece or flygon).

EDIT"
Would A Macargo be good in Exchange for Camerupt?

DOUBLE EDIT"

Electrike is part grass?

[absol2005]

1)I think Camerupt is better.
2)Hell no!

[minitrini]

OK, I know camerupt is better, but I want another fire poke instead of camperupt.

[minitrini]

Raichu, Gardevoir, Altaria, Swampert, Banette, Macargo.

If any of these pokes need exchanging, please tell me (NOTE: I do not want salmence, flygon or camerupt)

[absol2005]

Don't double post.

[celebi]

What of a Ninetales for fire.

[minitrini]

Were do you find ponyta in Emerald?

[celebi]

You can't and rapidash is not that strong.

[minitrini]

Ohh My bad, I meant Vulpix, and nm, he is found on mount pire, right? Were can I find a fire stone, then?

[celebi]

red shards and in the cave with smogs coming out from the floor.Can't remember the name.

[minitrini]

Oh yeah, fire path. I need strength for that, though.

Ok. My team, Ninetales, Altaria, Swampert, Gardevoir, Banette and Raichu. Now onto Movesets. Umm...Can you guys think of any good ones:sweat:

Would A Cradily Come in handy? If so, what poke should I exchang e it for?

[Silver Dragonair]

My elite four team was:

Combusken ( i dont like blaziken)
Medicham (pure power+shadow ball wipes the floor with Pheobe, pure power+any fighting move=bye bye glacia.)
Plusle (speed+thunderbolt was my best friend) But if I could do it wit plusle. Pick Raichu or Electabuzz. I dont like Manectric (electrikes evolved form). Or magneton because of all my weaknesses.
Swellow/Skarmory (only use for this is Ludicolo)
Swampert
Sceptile

Raichu:Naive/ModestNature:QuickClaw
Substitute
FocusPunch

Thunderbolt

Well the only reason you probobly need Haze is for that damn DT'ing Ludiculo.

[celebi]

Aerial ace can do the job of ludicolo.

[Thrall]

Aerial ace can do the job of ludicolo.
Alataria can do a way better job.STAB AA.

[absol2005]

red shards and in the cave with smogs coming out from the floor.Can't remember the name.

Vulpix doesn't appear in Fire path.

[celebi]

We were talking about the fire stone actually absol.

[minitrini]

Alataria can do a way better job.STAB AA.


What does STAB, and AA mean?

Can you guys please refrain from using these abbreviations, or explaining them, Sorry, I'm just a bit retarded.

I switched my banette with a breloom, so can I get some good movesets? Wheres that on guy who gives you good ones. I can't net battle, or trade with fr/lg, and I'm to lazy to breed, so can I get some moves that are either natrully learned, or tmed? Ah, screw it, I guess I can take some breeding moves to. (except for will-o-wisp). When you say hp/grass, that means that hidden powers type is grass, right?

[Fossil Fusion]

AA=Aerial Ace

Stab= Move used by a Pokemon of the same type e.g Charizard's Flamethrower is a stab move because same type of Pokemon and move :-P

[Meno]

AA = Aerial Ace
STAB:

Same
Type
Attack
Bonus

Basically, the fact that you get 1.5 times power if you use the attach type that you are (like Swamert using EQ/Surf, etc.).

Breloom - Adamant nature
~ Spore
~ Focus Punch/Sky Uppercut
~ Substitute
~ Leech Seed

Yay for Spore/Subpunching!

OMG I love that Breloom. I have one of those @ lv.100 in My Emerald, and the IV guy in Battle Frontier sais that its speed is a thing of perfection. I'm so proud: my IV breeding went so well on that one.

[celebi]

It says the same think for my t-tar's HP but for the others just above the avarage :sad:

[minitrini]

I assume when your sub gets hit, that doesn't count as a direct physical attack, so the focus punch still works, right? Can you guys think of an attack move to put on breloom? I just don't like having only one attack move.

[Meno]

But, that's the beauty of it.

Breloom strategy:

1) Use spore; they're asleep.
2) Use sub. NOW, if they are lucky enough to awake, they will just hit the sub, and not kill the poorly defended Bre. But, they typically will not.
3) If the sub was broken on the previous turn, return to step 1. If not, use FP. Now, even if they wake up, they will just hit the sub, and you will be left unscathed.

Also, if tou are low on HP, it's smart to use Leechseed instead of FP to get some recovery in. And, if they send in a ghostie, just use LS, and watch them die slowly while wasting time. THE ONLY way to kill this thing is to pit it against a high-speed sweeper while it does NOT have a sub. If it does have a sub, you are pretty much screwed. An example of a poke that kills Bre: Gengar.
