Mankey or Geodude (Leaf Green)

[Xtra]

I'm heading into Rock Tunnel soon, and I can't decide whether to bring mankey or Geodude to complete my 5 pokemon set (since the 6th slot is being taken up by Paras, who's one of my HM pokemon).

Considering either:

Mankey (F)
Lv.20

-Fury swipes
-Leer
-Low kick
-Karate Chop

or

Geodude (F)
Lv. 21

-Tackle
-Selfdestruct
-Magnitude
-Rock Throw

---

Other pokemon in my team:

Abra (M)
Lv.15

-Teleport

---
Pikachu (F)
Lv.19

-Thundershock
-Growl
-Double Team
-Thunder Wave

---
Spearow (F)
Lv. 19

-Peck
-Growl
-Leer
-Fury Attack

---
Ivysaur (F)
Lv 20

-Poisonpowder
-Growl
-Leech Seed
-Vine Whip

---

Now, before anyone says anything, I want to go over a few things:

-I am NOT looking for moveset fixes. I know they have a few flaws, but I'll fix them when I'm good and ready to.

-I also am NOT changing any of the pokemon listed under "Other pokemon in my team". That's the reason I also left out natures and abilities, since I'm not catching copies of pokemon I already have, and I can't breed them yet.

-Yes, I realize the "other pokemon" list has only 4 pokemon. That's because my HM pokemon is taking up the 5th spot, so I can see in Rock Tunnel

-I am only looking for advice on whether I should take Geodude or Mankey. That's it.

Now that we got all that out of the way, feel free to post

well

Mankey has arms

But Geodude has arms too

OH

But Mankey has legs

Geodude Floats

Use

Mankey

because sexy primape has fastest stab End-Rev

 

[Toothache]

Use Primeape. Geodude fits into so many in-game teams that Golem is almost standard. Although you lack a normal/flying resist, you have some awesome damage capability plus Primeape's speed isn't shabby.

BTW, fit Flash on your Pikachu or Abra. Seriously, HM slaves are filler and it would be more of a challenge to do without them.

 

[Lathspell]

Toothache, you're here too? Nice to see someone who can properly rate a team. .
Anyway, Golem is lame imo, you can get Rhydon later if you really want a Rock/Ground. Much much better, and he learns SD. So, go with Mankey, I guess.

If your not able 2 trade,dont use geodude or ur gonna be stuck with an ugly graveler in the future so choose mankey,hes good,he can help u take any rock types dat may appear in the tunnel
BTW-yay your abra is 1 level from evolution,not that im rating it

Currently, I'm not able to. However, once I get around to finishing Colloseum, i will

 

[TogeticTheRuler]

Yea but since ur in rock tunnel,dont u need to finish ur leafgreen also?

 

[*~Water Lover~*]

Go Mankey. It's not so often you catch one. That and Geodude has double weaknesses. Use Flash on Abra, he doesn't have a big moveset.

 

[TogeticTheRuler]

No dont use flash on abra,its one level away from evolving,den itll learn confusion,psybeam,stuff,my kadabra pwns a lot even it is not an alakazam,i found voltorb and put flash on it incas u wanna keep ur original move sets

 

[Xtra]

Yea but since ur in rock tunnel,dont u need to finish ur leafgreen also?

Yes, that too.

 

[snorlax]

Legs ftw....

Mankey, it has a better moveset and Primeape is hella awesome he was a staple in my RBY teams for Stadium
