- Thunderbolt / Thunder We all know how constricting HMs can be otherwise (especially before getting to Lilycove), so let's get started. Can deal with Psychics with Dark Pulse and X-Scissor. - Water Pulse / Thunder if you want to change a move be. It is vulnerable to Grass moves. - Hex. - Thunderbolt (Did I ever mention that Intimidate is a fantastic ability? Zen Headbutt U don;t have to lug it arround, just have it sit in that PC box of yours until you need it. Power-Up Punch is better just because it will always raise Attack and is 100% accurate. Swampert | BW | Smogon Strategy Pokedex Oh, goody. The Latis both get Surf and Waterfall in addition to the moves on this set, but those are both covered by other party members already. - Waterfall / Surf - U-turn. ORAS OU - MEGA SWAMPERT RAIN TEAM | Smogon Forums Swampert for water HMs and Earthquake. Mist Ball/Luster Purge. - Flash Cannon Finally an early Earthquaker! Dragon Claw- Good power, STAB when Sceptile is Mega Evolved This is a in-game team, it doesn't need to set up. They also have a Mega Evolution that makes that Dragon-type, which is pretty handy. before Flannery, not enough coverage, id replace delcatty with a linnone hm slave and mightyana with garnavor with movesets of. Spike (Cacturne) @ Miracle Seed Dazzling Gleam / Will-O-Wisp: Dark types will walk all over Banette without Dazzling Gleam, but Will-O-Wisp is good for burns. Manectric @ Magnet / nothing 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. Pyre - Iron Head - Moonblast: Level 62 or Move Reminder in Fallarbor Town With these moves, Swampert can beat Roxanne, Wattson, Flannery, Tate and Liza, and most of Team Magma's grunts and admins. I went with a team I tried to balance with as many types as I could get, along with some high base stats. I hear Froslass is bad because it requires babying a weak Snorunt for a long time. Ability: Trace / Synchronize > Pixilate - Growl (starting move) > Mud Shot (Level 16) > Brick Break (TM31 - Sootopolis City). If you want to update your post, use the 'edit' button. For a held item use Leftovers to keep Swampert in the game as long as possible to bring the pain. - Solar Beam - Giga Drain - Thunderbolt - Hammer Arm (Left set of moves is Gallade, right set is Gardevoir) - Strength / Yawn. - Splash (starting move) > Leer (Level 26) > Aqua Tail (Level 35) > Waterfall (HM05 - Sootopolis Gym) Swmapert can also be an HM slave. Pyre). His defenses aren't that bad so he can hold in there longer than most and he has a really good Special Attack. Gyarados can typically outspeed and OHKO both with Crunch, but Persim Berries might be a good idea anyways. - Cross Poison - Earthquake What Pokemon Teams did you have on your Gen 3 playthroughs? Any good Metal Sound- Harshly lowers opponent's Special Defense and pretty much makes Magnezone unstoppable. Strength It was a pain to train her up as a Vulpix but it was totally worth it. Except for its Mega Evolution which really just makes it kinda OP. - Earthquake - Shadow Claw. - Overheat (TM) - Calm Mind While it has mediocre attacking stats (70/80 respectively), it does have access to 3 HM moves and nice typing to cover both Sceptile and Linoone's weaknesses. Crobat - Poison/Flying He destroys everything. - Rock Smash - Earthquake. Gardevoir @ anything TM Earthquake: Seafloor Cavern (on the main path, can't miss it) 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. Gallade Grass Knot covers Ground types. 1. 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. - Giga Drain. Flygon - Ground/Dragon - Dazzling Gleam / Will-O-Wisp. - Drain Punch The other HM Slave of the team, your game's respective Lati Twin. - Steel Wing Heart Scales: Repeatedly use Rock Smash on Route 111 (right outside Mauville City), Sceptile @ Wide Lens / Sceptilite Ability: Huge Power. You can delete all HM moves once at the E4 and Linoone is good to deal with Phoebe. Moonblast is STAB and anti-Dragon. 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. Sceptile @ Sceptilite - Steel Wing Item: Cameruptite or Charcoal - Return 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. - Steel Wing (TM) The first three are to utilize Sceptile's very high Special Attack. - Sludge Wave Earthquake, Yep. You just have to. - Focus Blast: TM52 from Lilycove Department Store for 30k Pokedollars Now if you want to change a Pokemon go ahead. Well since Sceptile is more specially offensive leaf blade isnt an option, of course you could have Giga drain instead but energy ball has more power which is better with an offensive pokemon like sceptile. People may not like spending money on TMs, and Stone Edge isn't too reliable either. Very fast, with high Special Attack but low defenses. - Fly - Surf (HM) If you're playing during the special shiny Beldum event, I would say replace Froslass with Metagross. - Waterfall (HM). Waterfall is a good STAB move and with his huge Attack it just gets better. Ability: Colour Change / Protean (H). - Fly I know, I know, no Pokmon has Fly, Dive, Strength or Rock Smash and that's because I just waited to get the Eon Flute before doing any Flying and the rest was just me switching out random HM Slaves and other Pokmon to do what was necessary. Then give it the power bracer and you have the most OP azumarill in existence. The Assault Vest makes Aggron more of a tank, and I don't use status moves anyway. Where can you get the Magnet for Magnezone? Swellow @ Sharp Beak - Ice Beam - Megahorn I gave her Hone Claws so she could land Iron Tail/Stone Edge more often. Flamethrower- Has lower power than Overheat, but covers for Overheat's low PP. Thunderbolt is STAB, Flamethower is coverage, Volt Switch is a free switch and STAB, Quick Attack is priority or Thunder Wave for paralysis. - Surf Pokemon: Making The Perfect Gen III Team - The Gamer Type disadvantage is an issue with Fire types but you can change one move to Earthquake or use Aggron with Surf. Here's the team I played through Omega Ruby with! -Moonblast - Giga Drain Return: Pacifidlog Town :), This team features not one, but two HM slaves, to allow the rest of the team to fire on all cylinders. Linoone is basically a HM Slave with Cut, Strength and Rock Smash. Ability: Guts For Boomburst, use a Heart Scale or just level up to level 58. If you want, you can replace Tentacruel with Sharpedo, but it does have shoddy defences and it's rather lack luster without Speed Boost. Victory Road Wally: Gyarados Ice Fang takes care of Altaria. Dive - Fly Linoone Ability: Poison Heal 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. Medicham is a great Pokemon with good stats and a good movepool. Best part? Dazzling Gleam is an alternative, not as powerful but strikes multiple enemies which is useful for hordes. Grass Pledge / Giga Drain: The former can be learnt from a Move Tutor in Mauville City if Sceptile has high Happiness. - Ice Beam Swampert is a great Poke in its own right, with a solid movepool, great Attack, and only one weakness. Very little grinding is needed, there are no version exclusives, Mega Evolutions or legendaries, and the coverage is superb. - Zen Headbutt / Play Rough. Ability: Inner Focus - Thunderbolt Which one you get doesn't really matter, as you'll hardly ever use it in battle and they learn the same HMs. Linoone: Route 101 (Zigzagoon) - Toxic Raichu or a Pikachu with light ball? Rock Slide: It's a great coverage move for two of Mega Sceptile's weaknesses. Hammer Arm for coverage and Ice Punch takes care of the 4x Grass weakness. Shadow Ball/Dazzling Gleam/Grass Whistle Surf is preferred over Waterfall because of its higher base power, and Waterfall works better on Gyarados anyways. Manectric I have a soft spot for Treecko. - Crunch Other good moves you can consider are Brick Break, X-Scissor, Power-Up Punch and False Swipe (to catch Pokemon). Fly and Steel Wing are STAB, Night Slash is coverage and Spikes or Toxic are great status moves. Phoebe: Give Gyarados a Persim Berry to block Dusclops Confuse Ray, and set up a Dragon Dance for free. TM72 Volt Switch is awarded to the player as a prize for defeating Wattson. - Feint Attack Energy Ball covers all weaknesses and Flamethrower is solid STAB. Arm Thrust is fairly subpar, but Force Palm is quite a solid move that will last until the midgame. Giga Drain is learnt by the prior evolution, I think. Today's team is Gen 6/3 ORAS starting with Torchic. Various HMs: Given throughout the main story (Gift) - Rain Dance - Grass Pledge / Giga Drain - Rock Slide / Stone Edge. Crunch is very helpful against Ghost types, as the team doesnt have any Pokmon with STAB Dark or Ghost moves. - Dive, I had to make him into a HM slave since I didn't have any other team members that could learn the Water HM's and I didn't wanna get rid of a team member to have an HM slave. I know that this is old, but replace Moonblast with Hyper Voice for the Pixilate boost. Surf: STAB and an HM. Ability: Intimidate - Rock Slide / Hidden Power [Water]. Linoone @ any item Set up 3 Dragon Dances on either the Claydol or Cradily, healing as needed, and freely sweep the rest of Stevens team. Yawn / Earthquake: Yawn if you can be bothered breeding it. Ability: Shed Skin - Surf Ability: Trace - Steel Wing / Acrobatics. Is it in New Mauville? I mean, just look at that 185 base Attack. - Wake-Up Slap - Thunderbolt. Volt Switch: is great STAB and lets you pivot. Aggron has high Defense that can help it serve as an effective tank. Cut 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. Linoone @ None 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. The battle should be over in one or two turns. Ability: Synchronize For this Hariyama, Thick Fat is preferred so it can tank more Ice and Fire moves. - Megahorn: Level 37 If you can't get it, Hyper Voice is the next best bet. - Swords Dance - Night Slash. - Surf Skarmory is a very defensive Pokemon. He's probably one of my best team members due to his high Speed and Attack. It receives. Flygon is one of my favorite mons of all time, plus we need a flyer, so I picked it.
