Ruby Advice...

hmmm

Scuffle of Legends
I recently restarted my Pokemon Ruby. I chose Treecko as my starter pokemon.
Right now I have 2 badges, and I'm stuck on Watson! Heres the deal;
He has Magnemite lv22, Voltorb lv23, and Magnetonlv24, in that order.
I have Grovyle, Kirlia, Beautifly, Loudred, Gulpin, and Swellow.
All of my pokemon are level 21 or 22.
I can't beat him! None of my pokemon have type advantage, and between sonicboom and shockwave im dead!
The types to beat him are Fighting, Fire, and Ground. None of my pokemon known or learn thoes moves, other than Rock Smash (fighting) which actually does very VERY little damage.
There are no trainers near by to train....and wild pokemon are level 13 or 14.

This is my current plan.

My Kirlia vs. his Magnemite.
I use double team about 4 times. Mean while he uses Thunderwave, which also paralysis HIM thanks Kirlia's Synchronize, and uses supersonic and misses.
Then I confusion him to death, usually using one super potion.
Then it's Voltorb vs.Gulpin (since poison does not affect steel). Gulpin sludges him to death.
THEN its Magneton vs everyone, and they ALL lose.

Any tips or ideas? My last resort is to go back, catch, and train geodude :P.
 
Watson's Magneton is a pain to take down, and is especially hard if you do not have a super effective attack to use on it (mainly ground since it's 4x effective). Since you don't have a suitable Pokemon for that, I'd suggest training your Geodude until it at least level 20 (with a ground attack, of course) before you battle him again. Otherwise, the rest of your Pokemon would need to be at least over level 25 for you to have a somewhat decent chance at winning.

All future questions should go in the Help Thread.
 
Well, if you had chosen Mudkip it would have been rather easy... (Torchic would have also helped...).
Well, I do think too that your Pokemon need more training; at least a few more levels would help a fair bit (level 25 does sound like it should do it). Or as suggested, use Geodude.

Also, another Pokemon which would make it a cinch is Numel - Ground/Fire type - fits the bill. If you used Rock Smash north of Watson's town, keep heading north until you reach the deset )which you can't enter yet), then head to the left, you should see some Numel in the grass there. Some trainers there as well. If you want, I recommend Numel as well. (And FYI, Geodude can be found by breaking those rocks with Rock Smash as well, albeilt tend to be of a low level, and lower then what Numel can be}.

ANyways, basically answered - between all those options you should be able to beat him, especially if you use Geodude or Numel. :) Now shall close; and in future do use the Help thread (although granted it was a long-winded question - still where questions solely on the games go).
