Personally, I just catch the first Ralts I come across. - Calm Mind It has a high Special Attack stat, and good Special Defense and Speed. For a held item use Leftovers to keep Swampert in the game as long as possible to bring the pain. 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). As for the last two slots, it's up to preference. - Leech Life (starting move) > Wing Attack (Level 13) > Acrobatics (Level 35) Ability: Synchronize Each of these Pokmon brings a lot to the team. Rock Smash In these cases, the more generally helpful item will be noted instead. If you recommend a Pokemon that is restricted by version exclusivity, trade evolution or events, please, Do not recommend Pokemon, moves, etc. - Surf Oh, goody. Gyarados is an exceptionally useful Pokmon ingame. The Flash Fire ability is underrated, but if you can pick up Drought do so. Rock Slide. Exploud is a decent Pokmon with stats that tend to lean towards the Special Attack. Swampert + Hariyama + Manectric + Absol + Gardevoir + Crobat This team, for starters, has a lot of possible mega-evolutions, so that's always fun! I must say, I would prefer Rock Slide, if I needed coverage on fire types. Banette helps against Phoebe and Sceptile, Walrein or Milotic can all handle Drake. - Earthquake Only use it if you didn't choose Brick Break. Raichu @ Magnet - Night Slash. I hear Froslass is bad because it requires babying a weak Snorunt for a long time. Can deal with Psychics with Dark Pulse and X-Scissor. Earthquake, Fly, and Dragon Claw are self-explanatory, and from there, pick an item and your choice of Ice coverage, and you're set! I remember looking for one desperately for a Marill in HGSS when I was a kid, because I thought it was really cool, and when I finally got one, I hated it because I didn't understand how abilities work. Quick Attack for priority and Thunderbolt is STAB. Spam Surf on Swampert, which Gyarados resists, and use Crunch with Gyarados on either Pokemon. Shadow Ball and Thunderbolt or Energy Ball are coverage, or you can use Calm Mind to set up. Both have STAB and good power. Nothing is greater than a Swampert. 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). - Return / Facade - Magic Coat - Double-Edge - Dragon Claw - Moonblast / Dazzling Gleam. I think Aggron is worse than Gyarados because it's unable to sweep the Elite 4 like Gyarados can. Swampert is a great Poke in its own right, with a solid movepool, great Attack, and only one weakness. - Bullet Punch If Absol has Super Luck, your Night Slashes and Psycho Cuts will most likely crit. 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. Bulk Up wasnt particularly useful at any point during the game, so the extra power Close Combat provided is generally the better idea. P.S. Ability: Flash Fire You just have to. - U-turn. - Focus Blast / Thunderbolt. - Bullet Seed: Move Reminder in Fallarbor Town. Gardevoir can also take on most of Team Aqua/Magma as the teams use a lot of Poison and Dark type Pokemon. - Will-O-Wisp What is a good in-game team for Let's Go, Pikachu and Lets Go, Eevee? Energy Ball covers all weaknesses and Flamethrower is solid STAB. - Psychic Just make sure your Delcatty has Cute Charm or Wonder Skin for its Ability. Manectric Medicham @ Medichamite 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. - Leaf Storm (Move Reminder) Kiwi is my flyer. - Steel Wing, Item: anything - Mach Punch Shadow Claw is for Psychic types, and Earthquake is Earthquake. If you want to surf faster, use Sharpedo instead. Flygon Close Combat: Powerful STAB move - Psychic - Ice Beam Both evolutions' respective STABs are accounted for, and they both have coverage against Ghosts. Earthquake is a strong filler move. You can have Extrasensory to annihilate your Fighting type weakness (which you get through sneaking), or Shadow Ball which you can use to take out Phoebe the second of the Elite 4. This makes it a great defensive lead for a team that needs a reliable entry hazard setter. Pyre I know that this is old, but replace Moonblast with Hyper Voice for the Pixilate boost. Roserade: Route 117 (Roselia), Super Training (Shiny Stone) So Energy Ball is STAB, Dragon Claw is STAB as a mega and Earthquake and Rock Slide cover all other weaknesses. Brawly: I used a Taillow with Wing Attack to sweep Brawly, with Beautifly as backup. Strength is for moving boulders, which is handy. Hammer Arm for coverage and Ice Punch takes care of the 4x Grass weakness. Surf is preferred over Waterfall because of its higher base power, and Waterfall works better on Gyarados anyways. - Earthquake Ability: Blaze Shadow Ball covers against Ghost and other Psychics. - Strength / Yawn. - Sludge Wave - Sludge Bomb - Water Pulse before Flannery, not enough coverage, id replace delcatty with a linnone hm slave and mightyana with garnavor with movesets of. Focus Blast is Steel coverage and Thunderbolt is extra coverage for other types. - Protect. Latios/Latias @ Latiosite / Latiasite / Soul Dew There are some strategies used in a Nuzlocke that arent necessarily helpful in a casual run, like equipping specific berries. I didn't really think of Medicham as something that was very worthwhile, but I tried it out as I wanted to use Azumarill. Waterfall, Surf, and Dive can be alternated depending on what part of the game you're going through. Swampert is a good defensive Pokemon, boasting key resistances to common attacking types such as Rock, Electric, Steel, Fire, and Poison-types. TM Ice Beam: Sea Mauville - Giga Drain - Fly Shadow Claw to help against Ghost types is another option. Stopping the new Fairies in their tracks doesn't hurt either. But then it will have a very low level and need a lot of experience before it becomes useful. Ability: Inner Focus - Zen Headbutt / Psychic Confusion works well until you get Psychic, which is able to OHKO or 2HKO most neutral targets. Psychic is stronger on the remaining Pokemon, and the Special Defense boosts from Calm Mind will allow Gardevoir to live Milotics Hydro Pump and take down Wallaces entire team. Teams should be aimed toward making casual runs of the game efficient, enjoyable and hassle-free. They also have a Mega Evolution that makes that Dragon-type, which is pretty handy. - Growl (starting move) > Mud Shot (Level 16) > Brick Break (TM31 - Sootopolis City). Crobat doesnt excel in any major battles, but its very good at picking off minor Trainers all over the region. Tri Attack is a decent move and is really just a filler and Flash Cannon is your Steel type STAB. - Dazzling Gleam / Will-O-Wisp. Also on Route 111, we encounter one of the most underrated Gen 3 mons IMO. Route 118 is also the location you get the Good Rod. - Giga Drain. Flash improves your visibility in dark caves, although it isn't really needed. Share your best in-game teams for Pokemon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire on this thread! Giga Drain is powerful, reliable healing, and Sludge Bomb is nice STAB with a nasty 30% poison rate. Lucy (Ninetales) @ Pecha Berry It can restore health with Leech Seed and Giga Drain as well. 3) It has access to many great TMs & Move Tutors. This is the newest addition to the team. - Earthquake It can be given a Wacan Berry in case Salamence connects with a Thunder Punch, but its very difficult to lose this battle. Skarmory is a very defensive Pokemon. Wattson: Marshtomp with Mud Shot easily solos this Gym. - Strength - Iron Tail: Level 35 It has great coverage and usually very fast. Ability: Pickup - Fire Blast: TM38 at Lilycove Department Store for 30k Pokedollars - Ice Beam / Frost Breath - Roost (sneaking up/TM)*. - Recover It was replaced with Shadow Ball once Wallace was defeated. Item: Silk Scarf Ability: Pickup Weezing has pretty good moves, pretty good stats, and a good defensive typing, which paired with Levitate, makes it a great physical wall. Ability: Pressure / Super Luck --> Magic Bounce Very fast, with high Special Attack but low defenses. - Leer (starting move) > Volt Switch (TM72 - Obtained after defeating Wattson) 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?). - Megahorn: Level 37 - Flash Cannon Rock Slide: It's a great coverage move for two of Mega Sceptile's weaknesses. Wake-Up Slaps extra 10 BP is better than Force Palms chance to paralyse, so its a good STAB upgrade. Swampert @ Swampertite If you really want to, you can replace Headbutt with Surf for another HM move, or Shadow Claw for better coverage. - Thunder Wave / Hidden Power [Ice] Tate & Liza: Send out Swampert and Gyarados. - Iron Head :D Shiftry @ Expert Belt Ability: Chlorophyll - Extrasensory - Thunderbolt Ability: Immunity The Ability doesnt matter much, but it was fun to block Drakes Flygons from using Ground moves after Levitate was Traced. Rock Slide / Aerial Ace / Shadow Claw: Rock Slide to help with the Flying weakness early on in the game. Ability: Natural Cure Strength TM Dazzling Gleam: Route 123 - Waterfall Victory Road Wally: Gyarados Ice Fang takes care of Altaria. - Dive (HM) I respectfully must disagree with you on Raichu. Mt. Flygon - Ground/Dragon Thunder Wave / Hidden Power [Ice]: Always try for Hidden Power [Ice] for coverage, but otherwise Thunder Wave to catch stuff and paralyse an enemy. 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. 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. You can teach Manectric Thunder Wave if you don't get the Hidden Power type you want, or for when you are about to catch a Legendary Pokmon. - Shadow Ball What is a good in-game team for Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon? Absol has a super high Attack stat and good Speed. Heart Scales: Repeatedly use Rock Smash on Route 111 (right outside Mauville City), Sceptile @ Wide Lens / Sceptilite With Recover and Acupressure (which sharply raises a random stat), it will be alive for a while. - Crunch Thunderbolt is a great move and fits better with the Mirror Coat set. Gardevoir @ Life Orb / Gardevoirite / Leftovers - Rock Smash - Thunder Wave - Air Slash / Fly Waterfall and Crunch are physical STAB. Flygon @ anything Manectric is the best Electric type available in my opinion. - Focus Blast: TM52 from Lilycove Department Store for 30k Pokedollars If you ever need Giga Drain again, you can reteach it; you don't have that option if you let Treecko evolve at L16. - Arm Thrust (starting move) > Force Palm (Level 13) > Wake-Up Slap (Level 38) - Shadow Claw / Brave Bird Ability: Levitate but they are not necessary. - Roost. - Return - Hex. Ice Beam is coverage against Grass types until you get to the Battle Resort, at which point you should swap it for Ice Punch. It can even learn Blizzard or Ice Beam to deal with Grass Pokemon by itself, but it isn't. 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. - Rock Smash (HM) - Earthquake (TM) / Stone Edge (TM). Is it in New Mauville? Milotic is also another option, but evolving Feebas is a hassle. Its easily able to be incorporated earlier, however, and does well against the multitude of Water and Flying types in the game. Medicham is a great Pokemon with good stats and a good movepool. U-turn- Good power, allows you to switch Pokemon without wasting a turn. Grovyle is easily dealt with by Golbat/Crobat. With DexNav, walking outside the strip of grass on Route 102 closest to Petalburg City will eventually force a Ralts encounter. Ability: Clear Body - Bite (starting move) > X-Scissor (TM80 - Victory Road) Frost Breath is better in most cases, because it'll be 120 STAB rather than 90, bar random Shell Armour Pokemon. Second of all I have some changes you can make. 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. - Surf Really useful to be able to use that powerful attack and have no recoil. Gallade/[emailprotected] Mega Stone/Filler Swap it for Psychic or something if you wish, but the signature moves have coin-flip odds to lower one of the target's Special stats (Attack for Latias, Defence for Latios). Time for the HM Slaves. - Thunderbolt: TM24 after New Mauville quest Swampert for water HMs and Earthquake. I won't list the locations of the HM's since they're needed to complete the game anyway. Return is probably the better option, since it'll do 102 STAB consistently instead of the regular 70 STAB from Facade. Lilycove City Rival: Swellow and Wailord fall to Manectric, and Magcargo goes down to Swampert. - Pursuit 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. Rock Slide- Coverage against many of Sceptile's weaknesses, Swellow - Ice Beam Flamethrower is a good move that provides coverage and takes out the pesky Grass types. - Mirror Coat / Rain Dance. Swampert can easily crush most battles in the game and is the best centerpiece to a Champion's team. Overall, just my favorite of the starters. Dazzling Gleam is the strongest Fairy STAB move Gardevoir gets before the postgame, and its extra BP is typically more helpful than Draining Kiss HP recovery. If you dont have either of these Pokemon, Disarming Voice Ralts and Wing Attack Zubat can easily take down the Gym. Best part? - Steel Wing Giga Drain You can give it a Persim Berry to block Magnetons confusion, but it should be a clean sweep. - Strength Stone Edge: Lilycove Department Store Ability: Torrent Stone Edge comes in handy for dealing with Flying types and countering Fire and Ice types, so it synergizes with Thick Fat. Otherwise, this team will straight up scrape anyone who tries to beat you. Shadow Ball for other STAB, and Confuse Ray just to be annoying. - Brick Break / Hammer Arm Flamethrower: A 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. The Magnemite line has great stats, including a monstrous Special Attack stat and a great Defence stat. 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. - Psychic - Signal Beam Ability: Static Steel Wing- Covers Rock and Ice weaknesses - Splash (starting move) > Leer (Level 26) > Aqua Tail (Level 35) > Waterfall (HM05 - Sootopolis Gym) He destroys everything. I was just looking through for some ideas for my team and I think a Sceptile team is pretty good like this: Sceptile @ Sceptilite Shadow Sneak: Priority STAB. - Surf / Dive as it is needed for the story mode. - Thunderbolt Until then, use whatever item you think works. Bro sub out Gardevoir for Gallade as it takes forever to get dawn stone if you have one system like me. - Giga Drain / Leaf Storm Swampert is a Water & Ground Pokmon which evolves from Marshtomp. 81.9kg Male:87.5% Female:12.5% Monster Water 1: National Pokdex Hoenn Pokdex Abilities Hidden . - High Jump Kick / Sky Uppercut - Rock Smash Ability: Clear Body / Liquid Ooze (Pre-E4 - no items, moves or Pokmon only available in the Post-Game) *TM51 Steel Wing can be found in Granite Cave. 1) It's the best Fire type in ORAS. I just love Mega Sceptile, he was my favorite starter from Hoenn and still is. - Surf > Cut Grass Pledge / Giga Drain: The former can be learnt from a Move Tutor in Mauville City if Sceptile has high Happiness. Ability: Levitate Ah, the evolution to the infamous Pikablu. - Swords Dance / X-Scissor. 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. Dragon Claw - Psycho Cut You have to Mega Evolve Heracross. Roserade is here to deal with Water types when the Ralts evo of the team can't. Sceptile @ Sceptilite Which one you get doesn't really matter, as you'll hardly ever use it in battle and they learn the same HMs. Ability: Pure Power. Aerial Ace for Fighting types. Magnezone Ability: Static Waterfall - Psychic: Level 31. - Thunderbolt / Discharge - Rock Slide 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. Really, just here for raw power and Waterfall. - Stone Edge - Flamethrower - Earthquake - Close Combat Just don't use against a Grass type. Ability: Guts - Surf - Boomburst / Hyper Voice 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. Ability: Thick Fat 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. Today's team is Gen 6/3 ORAS starting with Mudkip. - Calm Mind Break Aggrons Sturdy with Quick Attack, and switch to Gyarados on an Earthquake to OHKO with Waterfall. Every move on this guy is very helpful, just make sure to get that Poochyena sticking out of the tall grass at the beginning of the game. Ability: Overgrow (Mega Sceptile: Lightning Rod) Swampert's strongest moveset is Mud Shot & Hydro Cannon and it has a Max CP of 2,974. I'm going to post a team for Swampert here, as I beat the whole story mode in two days and never died once. - Rock Smash, Swellow @ anything 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 hope this team works for you! - Teleport (Level 9) > Magical Leaf (Level 17) > Shadow Ball (TM30 - Mt. - Volt Switch / Thunder Wave Earthquake. 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. - Tri Attack if you want to change a move be. This is a very balanced team around Mudkip. Dive Please be sparing with images and formatting. Flygon is the powerhouse of the team (it's worth training up Trapinch). - Feint Attack - Strength - Ice Beam. - Earthquake. - Rock Slide / Aerial Ace / Shadow Claw. - Confuse Ray. After it was of no use to me, I taught it Hidden Power again. Stealth Rock. Ability: Steadfast > Inner Focus Linoone = Pick Up Ability: Guts -> Skill Link Ability: Huge Power. - Surf About "Swampert is very strong. - Dragon Claw Surf is Walrein's go-to STAB and takes the responsibility off of Linoone, Ice Beam is STAB and kills Grass-types, Crunch is filler, and Earthquake covers Electric and Rock types. The moveset listed above was just the one I went with, but you have plenty of options for experimentation. Quick Attack is primarily used to conserve PP on more powerful moves, and to break Sturdy on specific Pokemon. - Flamethrower - Toxic Ability: Thick Fat - Solar Beam Surf: STAB and an HM. Manectric @ Magnet / nothing Ability: Trace What is a good in-game team for Sword and Shield? Return: Pacifidlog Town - Double Team (Level 6) > Calm Mind (Level 24) Camerupt - Steel Wing / Acrobatics. - Water Pulse / Thunder If you can't get it, Hyper Voice is the next best bet. 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 :). [emailprotected]: Southern Island (Gift) Also, I must respectfully disagree with you on Aggron and Surf. Walrein and Milotic are both good Water type Pokemon. Thunderbolt is Manectric's main STAB, and Flamethrower is its main coverage. Knock Off: Good coverage move, removes items. Surf: Until a Water type is obtained. Fly and Iron Head are STAB. Strength will be the main move used until Aqua Tail is learned. (This team is also based on a no-Exp. Swampert does well in Hoenn because there are very few required battles against Grass Pokmon. 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. 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. Pre-poisoning Hariyama with Guts makes it nigh unstoppable, especially if youre playing on switch mode. First off I love all of your Good In-Game team suggestions. Gardevoir @ Miracle Seed / Rocky Helmet Hariyama destroys the Elite 4, being good against Sidney, Phoebe and Steven. Found at the route after Rustboro and Petalburg Woods, Swellow can be quite useful in battle and as a flyer. TM Thunderbolt: Mauville City (help Wattson clean up New Mauville) Night Slash/Shadow Ball - Steel Wing - Volt Tackle / Discharge Crawdaunt - Water/Dark I would also recommend Mega Evolving Medicham more often than Sceptile, because Medicham is normally in bigger need of a buff to its stats. - Rock Slide / Stone Edge. 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. The moves give the best coverage he can have. Leech Seed and Toxic wears the opponent down. I used an Air Cutter Beautifly to cleanly KO it, but if you didnt pick one up, Wing Attack Zubat should also make quick work of it. Ability: Torrent > Swift Swim With this set, you can cover all of his weaknesses other than Fighting, but then again, Gardevoir handles them easily. - Psychic - Hypnosis Swampert: Starter (Mudkip) This is a in-game team, it doesn't need to set up. Poison Jab: Mirage Mountain, requires Acro Bike The Assault Vest makes Aggron more of a tank, and I don't use status moves anyway. Set up 3 Dragon Dances on either the Claydol or Cradily, healing as needed, and freely sweep the rest of Stevens team. - Brick Break: TM31 in Sootopolis City.
