What is the Fastest Way to Beat Emerald?

[M4N14(]

I want to get to the battle frontier, so I was wondering. How should I play it? What starter, and should I trade high level stuff over, or should I just play through?

play it trough and start with treecho

 

[Bad Skitty]

trade over the highest lv obaying pokemon your game will allow to beat each gym. go through the e4 with rayquaza and a heap of revives for an easy win

Go through it With Blazeken, Crawdaunt and Breloom then get Rayquaza

put the highest pokemon that obey will eventally evolve and stop obeying

not if its just for one gym.

you should use mudkip for a starter if you want to get through the game fast. Other pokemon you might want to have are Shroomish because when it evolves into Breloom it can be quite useful, Electrike/ Manectric, Ralts/Kirlia/Gardevoir because their evolution stages are better than abra's and learn some good psychic moves earlier but Ralts can be hard to find, Zigzagoon/Linoone for picking up items. Yes that is only 5 pokemon but you should use whatever is good for your team in the 6th slot. I am only making a few suggestions other people might have better suggestions.

I used a Manectric and a Swampert when I beat the Elite Four.

I had serious problems last time when I started with treecko. I couldn't beat the fire gym.

That's when you go and find a type effective against Fire-types, such as Water- or Ground-types. You could've easily caught a Pelipper along the way, as well as and Ground-type such as Geodude, Numel.

use only your starter. that is the fastest way to play through the game. it may be tough at first, but once you get rolling you'll be far enough ahead to single-handedly beat the game. i did it with swampert and my ONLY problem came with ludicolo held by wallace in the final match of the elite four, i was about level 74ish. it also gives you a lot of room for picking up items. if you want two, i'd say go with swampert and skarmory, as skarmory is only weak to electric and fire, both of which are covered by swampert, and this way you you'll have somone to cover that pesky ludicolo in the last battle as well.

Use Mudkip for an easy game.

Ok, thanks for the advice.

Start with mudkip, it takes down the 1st,3rd,4th,6th(WITH ICE BEAM),7TH
GYMS WITH EASE and helps against the E4

 

[Proto Entity]

start with treecko, and if u have another game with higher lvl pkmn, then trade those over from R/S (i dunno if you can. correct me if i'm wrong) and into emerald as soon as you beat juan...

Truthfully if you pick treecko the game gets tricky, tailow doesn't always spawn which leaves that wingull easiest to spot, lotad is weak until he gets surf,

First 3 gym badges, ralts, mukhita, abra, try tailow, and poochyena, now as for the fire type gym there's a solrock hidden nearby which I ditched because most of emerald is ocean.

I vote abra in because he evolves at 16 with confusion, gets pysbeam at 21 25 recover. He also 1 shots almost everything so I had to stop using kadabra
