I sure am asking for a lot of things in Sapphire, as I already posted a contest team... Currently I have six badges in Sapphire, and my Pokemon are reaching level 40. At this point I could use some tips for which moves to keep and which moves to add...
*I'll post the movesets they have now, and the movesets I'm planning them to have.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
;260; Swampert
Nature: Quiet
Ability: Torrent
Current Moveset: Surf, Mud Shot, Take Down, Muddy Water
Planned Moveset:
Surf
Earthquake
Ice Beam
Protect
**Any suggestions for a better move than Protect?
;315; Roselia
Nature: Modest
Ability: Natural Cure
Current Moveset: Magical Leaf, Poison Sting, Grasswhistle, Leech Seed
Planned Moveset:
Magical Leaf
Sludge Bomb
Aromatherapy
???
**Should I keep one of the moves he already knows, or add Synthesis, or what?
;026; Raichu
Nature: Adamant
Ability: Static
Current Moveset: Thunderbolt, Iron Tail, Sweet Kiss, Charm
Planned Moveset:
Thunderbolt
(physical move)
Sweet Kiss
Attract? Light Screen? Thunder Wave? Um...
*For a physical attack, I was thinking on either keeping Iron Tail or adding Brick Break or Return.
*Raichu can still learn Thunder Wave if I go to the Move Tutor in Fallarbor Town--I believe that's one of Raichu's starting moves...
*Unfortunately, I can't change Raichu's nature...
*It's obvious that I hatched Raichu from an egg, as only Pichu can learn Sweet Kiss and Charm.
;308; Medicham
Nature: Relaxed
Ability: Pure Power
Current Moveset: Calm Mind, Confusion, Mind Reader, Hi Jump Kick
Planned Moveset:
Psychic
Calm Mind
Hi Jump Kick
Mind Reader? Elemental punch? Shadow Ball? Recover?
*If her nature was Gentle instead of Relaxed, she would make a perfect Contest Pokemon, but...
*Arrgh, there are too many options with Medicham... I'm wondering what would go best with her ability and nature...
;354; Banette
Nature: Calm
Ability: Insomnia
Current Moveset: Shadow Ball, Faint Attack, Curse, Will-O-Wisp
Planned Moveset:
Shadow Ball
Faint Attack
Curse
Will-O-Wisp
**Hehheh, the movesets are identical for once...
;373; Salamence (currently a Shelgon, but...)
Nature: Modest
Ability: Rock Head (will be Intimidate)
Current Moveset: Dragonbreath, Headbutt, Cut, Protect
Planned Moveset:
Dragon Claw
Aerial Ace
Flamethrower
Crunch
*I pick mostly Special attacks because of her Modest nature.
*Should I keep Protect or not...?
Notes for all:
*Their natures and abilities can't be changed
*I haven't used any TM's on my Pokemon so far. I got all of them (except Mudkip) by breeding them in Ruby and trading the eggs to Sapphire to hatch there. So some moves are from their parents, like Iron Tail on Raichu. (And my Shuppet was born with Shadow Ball--yay!)
*I need suggestions for items...
*I'll post the movesets they have now, and the movesets I'm planning them to have.
