alright well yesterday i said i'd do both firered and leafgreen and realizing that three games at once is overdoing it, i decided to drop firered and stick with leafgreen and sapphire, so im just gonna do a ground team. anywho, i chose charmander because after the challenge is completed i'd want a charizard more than blastoise or venusaur (and suicune for the dogs as well). so i levelled her up until she learned metal claw, had a tough time with brock so i got up a few more and then took him down, beat the bug trainers on my way to route 3 to find my first pokemon. took a long while but i caught a bunch of nidoran females and the best IV's and nature together were with my impish one, so i stuck with that. also was lucky enough to snag a nidoran male, and his nature was rash so i decided he would be my only special sweeper (flygon works well but isn't available to me). once i grabbed them, i entered mt. moon and found a few geodude, and the best IV/nature combo was the relaxed female, so i went with her. once i had my trio (20 pokeballs later), i ran back to pallet town, where tomorrow i'll begin getting them to a good level before i really tackle mount moon. i'm thinking, based on what i have, that the movesets for those three will be as follows:
nidoran (m)
7- rash
thunderbolt, ice beam, flamethrower, surf (his attack IV was really poor or I'd replace surf/flamethrower with megahorn)
nidoran (f)
7- impish
substitute, focus punch, earthquake, shadow ball (nature could be better but i think i'll get by here)
and geodude
9- relaxed
earthquake, rock blast, explosion, and double-edge (thankfully she had rock head too)
these three will have to carry me through to vermillion when i can add a diglett to my arsenal. thinking earthquake, tri attack (move relearner), aerial ace, and double team (?). not sure what to fill there, maybe toxic? suggestions welcome for that one. i'm pretty content with the nidos and geodude though so leave them be. also will add a cubone, rhyhorn, wooper, and phanpy eventually....
