After having an 1.5 hour battle against ONLY a Meganium that Double Teamed, Leech Seeded, Substituted, and Grasswhistled (w/leftovers), I blew it. I won, but I realised my team needed work. So for each of my games, Ruby/Sapphire/FRed/Emerald, I'm building a team that has a little more focus on support, instead of general offense. Such examples include a Hazer, Heal-Beller, Rusher, etc.

Here are some examples of the Pokemon I am planning to use, not all in the same game necessarily. Please tell me what you think, and I'll try to post more later:

VAPOREON (Timid) (This Pokemon was rated quite impressive in Emerald at LV.5)
Surf
Ice Beam
(will have) Haze
????
EMPHASIS: Haze, and general damage

SHARPEDO w/Choice Band (Rash) (This PKMN rated better-than-average)
Surf
Crunch
Return
????
EMPHASIS: Quick, and brutal damage

SWAMPERT A (Quiet) (This PKMN rated better-than-average)
Surf
Ice Beam
Earthquake
????
EMPHASIS: General, broad move range

(Not yet hatched)
SWAMPERT B (????) (????)
Earthquake
Rock Slide
????
Curse
EMPHASIS: Time-bomb, greater-than-usual damage

(Which Lanturn works better?)
LANTURN (Calm) (Rated average) option A
Surf
Ice Beam
T-Bolt
Sub.

Option B
Surf
T-Bolt
Ice Beam/Confuse Ray
T-Wave/Confuse Ray

(Which Walrein works better?)
WALREIN (Bold) (Rated quite impressive) option A
Surf
Ice Beam
Rest
Sleep Talk

Option B
Waterfall/Surf
Ice Ball
Rest
Double Team

ALSO, for Heal Bell/Aromatherapy, I have not been able to get a Chansey, & I don't have XD. Are Vileplume and Chimeco any good IYO?

owned so mch by sceptile it crys

at least try to stop it with something like gyarados

 

[Mudkip of DVN]

Of course I'm gonna have my anti-Sceptilers, those are just the Pokemon I have now. I'd like them fixed before I go on, having them not fixed...

 

[ZNtelle]

If you must, try a Hazer. That nullifies Double Team. Better yet, try something with Taunt. That will own something like Meganium completely. Remember, though, no team is perfect.

 

[Rudoku]

You know, a Ludicolo would've nulified that Meganium, and it happens to be a Water type.

 

[chaos952]

Use Substitute, as that would've left that Meganium useless, as it had no damaging attacks.

By the way, mono-type teams are not good support teams. They're mostly novelty.

So you're telling me, Chaos952, to use my Substituting Lanturn instead of the T-Waving one?

And Nine Thou, Haze was one of my priorities, Vaporeon, Mantine, and Crobat were my prime candidates, but I never really thought about Taunt... Thanks!

 

[Absol!]

I see you like Water-types

Realizing this group is what you have so far, I'd say you need a strong Manectric (Thunderbolt), Tropius (Solar Beam) or Camerupt. Yes. Get a Camerupt - they rock ^^

Option A for Walrein (though both are quite good) and option A for Lanturn. Good luck!

Hmmm... descisions, descisions... Manectric... Magneton is preferable... High SP ATK... good Skarmbliss counter... Tropius... Sunny Day wrecks my team... Camerupt... ignoring... if I must use a fire type... which I probably won't... I'd prefer Ninetales... or a canine (Arcanine, Houndoom)... maybe a Dragon? Perhaps Altaria... nah... ... ... ...
