Official Team Help Thread

[Yo Shee]

Hi. will the team i use is Blaziken, Whiscash, Sableye, Aggron, Crobat, and Blosssom for my sapphire game.

Do you want suggestions for their movesets?

I started a new game a while ago and still havn't settled on a sixth party member yet. Just wonding what everyone else thought would best complement my team.

Which game is it? Also, what I said to you before still applies. Just stick with what you have now, and if you notice that your team is lacking something or that you have major issues against a certain pokemon, then maybe you should consider adding a new team member.

 

[Spider_Pig]

I have plenty of other Pokemon trained to competitive levels. I go back and forth amonst them often. I just wanted to know what everyone else thought would best complement the others.

And this is in Leaf Green.

 

[Birds of Paradise]

I am currently debating between two pokemon on my firered team. I am currently raising a clefairy (just recently restarted the game) but I have always wanted to raise a waterpulse-thunderbolt persian. I think its redundant to have two normal types on my team but I can't decide which one to use.

 

[polifire]

everone knows that a team is good if they have a pretty good defence. the list of pokemon that has good defence is: sorelax{i cant spell}, aggron, golom. will in my team the pokemon that i for my defence is my starter like blizkien.;257;

You've probably decided for yourself already because nobody's answered but I'd like to give my opinion.

To be straight with ya, Persian isn't that good of a Pokémon but I love it. He's got great speed, but everything else is quite mediocre. I actually looked up Persian's base SpAtk and I was suprised. I thought it would be much worse than Atk but actually it's just a little bit worse. Thunderbolt, Water Pulse, Shadow Ball/Iron Tail and Return could make something nice for ingame-purposes.

IMO, Clefable has better base stats and even movepool, but w/e. Choose which you like more (seems to be Persian).

 

[LoneStarAkira]

Hey, I'm after some help for my new Emerald game.

All I have at the moment is a shiny Mightyena and a Swampert. I want to have a mixture of different elements and specialties. It can be anything from any of the 3rd gen games. Help, anyone? :3

Thanks . I actually ended up raising clefairy for a little while while debating, but I went with persian, but you helped to answer my question because persian would be for in game use only. I've played firered before but this time around I've been trying to go with using my favorites.

will normal Pokemon have the good stats and move pool but if i pick a normal it is ditto.

What

What is the best moveset for a Snorlax.. in Emerald.. I am thinking the curse one but... IDK

 

[Champion Jared 14]

I would do,

Snorlax @ lefties
Careful EV's, IDK yet

Curse
Rest
Body Slam/Retun
Earthquake/Shadow Ball

I'm not the best to come up with curelax stuff, I was just putting that out there... But is this team building for the game, or competitive, the battle frontier, what is it here?

 

[polifire]

What is the best moveset for a Snorlax.. in Emerald.. I am thinking the curse one but... IDK

-Belly Drum
-Rest
-One of many powerful special attacks like Ice Beam, Thunder or Earthquake
-Focus Punch (is very useful for when the opponent is making a 2-turn attack) or Hyper Beam.

Belly drum and Rest can be used in an extremely useful combo.

Snorlax shouldn't use special attacks, and Focus Punch/Hyper Beam are not such great options either. This is the cursing set:
-Body Slam
-Earthquake
-Curse
-Rest

Belly Drum is a potential option over Curse I suppose, but it is quite risky.

Sleep Talk is also another good option over Curse.

im about to make it to fortree city, and this is what i have so far.

 

[Yo Shee]

Swampert
-Surf
-Earthquake
-Ice Beam
-Return/Toxic/move of choice
If you're going to use it in the Frontier, go with Return or Toxic, otherwise, don't bother using up that TM on it.

Swellow
-Aerial Ace (learned leveling up, NOT with the TM)
-Facade
-Steel Wing
-Quick Attack
Facade will grow to 4x its original power when inflicted with the burn, paralyze, or poison status.

Magneton
-Thunderbolt
-Hidden Power (Ice/Grass/Fire)
-Thunder Wave
-move of choice
You definitely should test out its hidden power type, and see if it's one of the recommended types, or any other special type (other than electric). Otherwise, there's nothing else it will be able to do other than Thunderbolt and Thunder Wave.

Breloom
-Substitute
-Focus Punch
-Return
-Sludge Bomb
Use Substitute first, and then use Focus Punch. Also, any of these moves could theoretically be replaced with Mach Punch or Bulk Up if you still want to use those moves, as they are good too.

Don't bother getting new pokemon right now, just use what you have. A small team is easier to train, anyway.

Yes, always use the Super Rod.

There are different move tutors for each move. Which one are you looking for?
