I've decided to restart my old sapphire game, and I've just defeated Flannery. I really want to catch a Trapinch in the desert now but I already have 4 pokemon (Numel, Sableye, Swellow and Marshtomp) and they are all at or just below level 30. Do you think its too early in the game to have 5 pokemon? Should I get rid of one and catch a Trapinch, or forget about the Trapinch altogether?

I often run into this problem in pokemon games where I catch too many pokemon at once and end up with a full team of rather under-powered pokemon. Any advice would be great :) thanks!
 
I think you should drop Numel there are better fire types to catch! Sableye is good because it has no type that is super effective against it!
Swellow you might want to replace for a different pokemon later! Xd Hope I helped!
 
There aren't a whole lot of fire types that I have access to in the game though... But thanks! I'll definitely consider it.
 
hmm, replace swellow with tropius even tho thats not what your asking .-. and replace numel with the trapinch
 
Ooh, good point. Yeah I'll replace with Swellow with Tropius as soon as I have access to one. And now I'ma go get me a Trapinch :)
 
Get rid of Numel. Flygon pawns all.
 
The Pokemon games are easy enough where you can have a team of six under powered Pokemon and still make it out alright. If you want the Trapinch, keep it.
 
One more question... I know I was told above to swap Swellow for Tropius but just wondering if this is really the best idea? I haven't got much experience with Tropius so just want some feedback. Is it better to have on a team than Swellow?
 
I think Tropius is the better deal, all in all. It actually has very slightly better attack and much better defense, though it's quite a bit slower. It's going to get hit, since it's so slow, but it has the defense to handle it. And with the grass typing and Magical Leaf, it can also handle grounds and waters. Adding grass typing also fixes Swellow's weakness to electric, making it neutral, and gives it a resistance to fighting instead of Swellow's neutral to it. It does pick up a weakness to fire and to poison, but the poison weakness is the only one that might be a problem, since it's nice to be able to use a flyer against grasses and most grasses have poison of some form.
