Lenny (Linoone) @ Nothing The Ability doesnt matter much, but it was fun to block Drakes Flygons from using Ground moves after Levitate was Traced. Medicham Energy Ball covers all weaknesses and Flamethrower is solid STAB. - Flamethrower - Psychic For Boomburst, use a Heart Scale or just level up to level 58. Route 119 Rival: Like before, Wailmer and Slugma should fall easily to Manectric and Marshtomp respectively. - Water Pulse / Thunder - Crunch: Level 41 Ability: Thick Fat Flamethrower- Has lower power than Overheat, but covers for Overheat's low PP. Also, I must respectfully disagree with you on Aggron and Surf. Poison Fang is STAB, but Acrobatics will typically be more useful. Gyarados is an exceptionally useful Pokmon ingame. - Crunch - Shadow Ball. Manectric @ Magnet / nothing Crobat is probably the best flier in the game due to its high Speed and large variety of moves. TM26 Earthquake can be found in the Sea Floor Cavern. Ability: Static / Lightning Rod --> Intimidate You can include items, abilities, etc. Ability: Levitate Shadow Claw to help against Ghost types is another option. - Earthquake Manectric is the best Electric type available in my opinion. Night Slash: Helps against Psychic types. - Drain Punch The Diantha look-alike set would be ideal considering Hyper Voice is useless if I Mega Evolve Blaziken, but if you want to invest fully in Gardevoir, go ahead. - Moonblast - Leaf Storm / Leaf Blade Drake: Gyarados can set up two Dragon Dances on Altaria and proceed to sweep Drakes entire team. - Dragon Pulse This was probably longer than it needed to be, but this team worked very well for me, so I hope it helps someone. - Earthquake. Exploud is a decent Pokmon with stats that tend to lean towards the Special Attack. I think Aggron is worse than Gyarados because it's unable to sweep the Elite 4 like Gyarados can. Yay, swampert! I sometimes rotate my Pokemon around, so these might not be the six I always use. Ice Beam - Surf - Howl (starting move) > Spark (Level 13) > Discharge (Level 30) Thunderbolt is your Electric STAB move, Flash Cannon is your Steel STAB move, Thunder Wave cripples opponents and can help with Magnezone's bad Speed, and Charge Beam can buff up their Special Attack so they can tear through teams. But if you do, I would certainly recommend it. Hariyama will be able to take on Roxanne, Wattson (with Bulldoze), Norman, Sidney, and Flannery and Glacia with Thick Fat. Really useful to be able to use that powerful attack and have no recoil. - Leaf Blade (Assuming you don't throw out Mega Sceptile in front of Glacia or something), Sceptile @ Sceptilite Magical Leaf comes in handy against Water/Ground types that Manectric can't touch, as well as Rock/Ground types. I'll make one for Blaziken because who doesn't love the fire chicken? He's probably one of my best team members due to his high Speed and Attack. - Night Slash. - Crunch Linoone is always in the party, as he is my HM Slave, however he is never used in battle. Swampert @ Soft Sand Earthquake. Pick Up = free crap. Ability: Shed Skin that are only available through, Earthquake (TM26 - Seafloor Cavern) / Rock Slide (TM80 - Route 134), Bulk Up (TM08 - Gift from Brawly) / Poison Jab (TM84 - Mirage Mountain), Surf (HM03 - Petalburg City after beating Norman) / Superpower (Level 46), Thunderbolt (TM24 - From Wattson after completing the New Mauville sidequest), Charge Beam (TM57 - Mauville City Pokmart), Dark Pulse (TM97 - Team Magma/Aqua Hideout) / Shadow Ball (TM30 - Mt. - Iron Tail Otherwise use Blaze Kick and Sky Uppercut, which you learn by levelling up. - Knock Off 5) Great typing facing trainers like Sidney & Norman. TM71 Stone Edge can be purchased from the Lilycove Department Store for 30,000 Pokmon Dollars. - Thunderbolt Except for its Mega Evolution which really just makes it kinda OP. - Thunder Wave (starting move) > Bite (Level 24) > Flamethrower (TM35 - Victory Road) - Strength. Manectric is only able to deal with Winona and Wallace with Thunderbolt, and Glacia with Flamethrower. "use it when you get it." Is it in New Mauville? Banette @ Banettite Thunder Wave can be used in the same way, since it learns Thunder Wave through levelling up and you get Thunder Wave as a TM quite early in game. Ability: Intimidate Break Aggrons Sturdy with Quick Attack, and switch to Gyarados on an Earthquake to OHKO with Waterfall. - Hypnosis - Ice Beam As for the last two slots, it's up to preference. The first team on this list that wasn't just Hoenn all over I like this team. Exploud @ Leftovers / Shell Bell Share your best in-game teams for Pokemon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire on this thread! Also try for moves with decent base power and more PP as not everyone carries lots of Leppa Berries and will save trips to the Pokmon centre, this team is merely a suggestion so people can use whatever they feel like so it doesn't matter what I post as long as it is related and appropriate (am I right?). Since I decided to play through the game with the Exp. You can get a Carvanha with a Good Rod on Route 118, however they aren't very common so you'll have to keep trying until you get one. Surf is good for dealing with pesky Fire types. The moves give the best coverage he can have. Gardevoir will be able to take on Brawley, Sidney, and Drake with it's moves. I have a soft spot for Treecko. Swampert can easily crush most battles in the game and is the best centerpiece to a Champion's team. - Return Ability: Sturdy - Meteor Mash / Power-Up Punch - Recover Confusion works well until you get Psychic, which is able to OHKO or 2HKO most neutral targets. Strength - Strength / Yawn. Moonblast is a great move as is, and just gets better when you Mega Evolve. Gardevoir doesn't have any great abilities, but on a rare occasion Trace can help in some cool ways. Wallace: Set up a Calm Mind or two on Luvdisc with Gardevoir, then use Magical Leaf to cleave through it and Whiscash. Fly and Iron Head are STAB. - Earthquake The other three main team members should be plenty up to that point, though, and with how fantastic Salamence is, it's arguably worth the effort. - Teleport (Level 9) > Magical Leaf (Level 17) > Shadow Ball (TM30 - Mt. Also useful against Steven's Metagross. - Stone Edge Thunderbolt is Manectric's main STAB, and Flamethrower is its main coverage. - Hidden Power (TM) / Flash (TM) / Thunder Wave (TM)*. Rock Slide: On a small island on Route 134 Good team but I would replace Gyarados with Aggron as you have 2 members weak to electric types and Aggron walls most of the E4 combined with its broken mega evolution with solid defence and great offensive power, other than that, good team :). Manectric is a great Pokemon with high Speed and Special Attack, which is further boosted with its Mega Evolution. Both Bite and X-Scissor are fairly useless for when theyre used, but theres not much Crobat needs other than Acrobatics. - Metal Sound. Earthquake is Earthquake, no explanation needed. Before you ask why I have two Megas on this team, I Mega Evolve a different one depending on the situation. Ability: Flash Fire Surf is preferred over Waterfall because of its higher base power, and Waterfall works better on Gyarados anyways. His defenses aren't that bad so he can hold in there longer than most and he has a really good Special Attack. - Crunch - Discharge This is the newest addition to the team. - Rock Slide / Hidden Power [Water]. Every team needs a Dragon type and [emailprotected] are great. - Focus Blast Flannery: Marshtomp easily solos this Gym with Mud Shot as well. - Shadow Ball :D Shiftry @ Expert Belt Ability: Chlorophyll - Extrasensory - Grass Pledge / Giga Drain But now I do, and this Pokmon takes great advantage of its great ability: Huge Power. Rock Slide. Ability: Blaze Thunderbolt- Good power, STAB Hariyama @ Silk Scarf - X-Scissor / Earthquake Waterfall, Surf, and Dive can be alternated depending on what part of the game you're going through. Ability: Static Metagross @ Expert Belt I would also recommend Mega Evolving Medicham more often than Sceptile, because Medicham is normally in bigger need of a buff to its stats. Good team. - Earthquake - Waterfall (HM). - Shadow Ball Acrobatics is deadly when not holding an item. With access to Swords Dance, it could be a potential sweeper. Share turned off, I decided having bulky Pokmon would be a good idea. While Weezing might not be as good as Aggron or Skarmory, I already had a Steel-type, so I decided Weezing would be a good addition to the team. Linoone Lets be honest, what Hoenn team is complete without Linoone. Ability: Poison Heal Swampert: Starter (Mudkip) - Shadow Ball Ability: Intimidate - Flamethrower Surf is Walrein's go-to STAB and takes the responsibility off of Linoone, Ice Beam is STAB and kills Grass-types, Crunch is filler, and Earthquake covers Electric and Rock types. - Wake-Up Slap If you're playing during the special shiny Beldum event, I would say replace Froslass with Metagross. A bit of a hassle to get, but I do really like Froslass, so I've included her. - Stone Edge / Rock Slide Magnezone is a beast. I gave her Hone Claws so she could land Iron Tail/Stone Edge more often. - Air Slash / Fly Pickup gives you free stuff, he learns a good chunk of the HMs, and he evolves early! Heracross @ Heracronite Magnezone @ Magnet Both have STAB and good power. - Dive. if you want to change a move be. Psychic is stronger on the remaining Pokemon, and the Special Defense boosts from Calm Mind will allow Gardevoir to live Milotics Hydro Pump and take down Wallaces entire team. I hope this team works for you! Earthquake: Good coverage move. Flamethrower is good for Ice types and Steel Wing for the Fairies. I know that this is old, but replace Moonblast with Hyper Voice for the Pixilate boost. - Magical Leaf - Flamethrower Cut Gyarados can typically outspeed and OHKO both with Crunch, but Persim Berries might be a good idea anyways. -Moonblast - Fly - Return / Facade Fly is more for convenience than damage, but it could work well in combination with Swamperts Surf in a Double Battle. Every team needs that tank that makes everyone mad when it endures everything you throw at it. Gallade I won't list the locations of the HM's since they're needed to complete the game anyway. You could also go with Alakazam but I just love Gardevoir. - Power-Up Punch Waterfall is also a great move but in my opinion Aqua Tail is better, thanks for the suggestions though :). Crawdaunt - Water/Dark - Focus Blast / False Swipe. Ice Beam and Flamethrower are fairly late in the game, but you could wait or substitute with another move of your choice. - Earthquake - Surf / Dive as it is needed for the story mode. - Leaf Storm - Overheat (TM) Rock Slide is another option and covers most of his weaknesses, but Earthquake is just overall better due to its higher power and accuracy. It has a high Special Attack stat, and good Special Defense and Speed. - Waterfall. U-turn is an option, but in-game you can switch when you need to. - Sky Uppercut / High Jump Kick Ability: Torrent > Swift Swim - Dark Pulse: TM97 at the Team Magma/Aqua Hideout Moving on to Route 102, we catch a Ralts, who eventually becomes Gardevoir! - Stone Edge An awesome tank that can take physical hits very well. Other moves are pretty standard. - Shadow Ball. - Double-Edge. With these moves, Swampert can beat Roxanne, Wattson, Flannery, Tate and Liza, and most of Team Magma's grunts and admins. - Dragon Claw - Dragon Claw / Dual Chop Manectric @ Manectite Once you get to the Battle Resort, there are a lot of good moves he can learn, including two great STAB moves! The battle should be over in one or two turns. - Boomburst / Hyper Voice Pelipper is a mandatory teammate because it provides free rain with its ability Drizzle while checking Keldeo, one of the best checks to Mega Swampert. - Dragon Pulse / Dive. - Acid (idk why I chose this but its what mine had) Anyway, Kecleon may seem like an odd choice, but it is surprisingly solid. Manectric Medicham is a great Pokemon with good stats and a good movepool. Flamethrower is a good move that provides coverage and takes out the pesky Grass types. Weezing is underrated, Im glad you added it onto the team. You can use Aqua Tail instead of Waterfall if you'd like, but I like the flinch Waterfall can give you. You have to Mega Evolve Heracross. Crobat - Poison/Flying Also on Route 111, we encounter one of the most underrated Gen 3 mons IMO. If you want Protean, catch the required Kecleon so you can DexNav for a Protean Kecleon. - Return / Brick Break. This is a very balanced team around Mudkip. - Flash Canon - Swords Dance Please follow these guidelines regarding detail in your post: Please also follow these guidelines regarding the contents of your team: Submit your team as an answer, not a comment. Pyre) / Infestation (TM83 - Sootopolis City) / Toxic (TM06 - Fiery Path), Shadow Sneak (Level 7 - May require Move Reminder), Aerial Ace (TM40 - Mauville City Pokmart). Ability: Inner Focus Psycho Cut/Psychic - Psychic Ability: Guts Volt Switch is good for pivoting, but its less helpful if playing on switch mode. Ah, the evolution to the infamous Pikablu. There isn't really much to say about them; they free up slots in the rest of the team's movesets and allow you to play the game. Thunderbolt is a great move and fits better with the Mirror Coat set. You can Mega Evolve it if you'd like, but personally I think other Mega Evolutions are much better choices than Gyarados'. - Tackle (starting move) > Bulk Up (TM08 - Obtained after defeating Brawly) > Close Combat (Level 46). - Earthquake Gardevoir/Gallade: Route 103 (Ralts), Super Training (Dawn Stone) Your call. - Thunderbolt / Discharge I'm going to post a team for Swampert here, as I beat the whole story mode in two days and never died once. - Fake Out (Level 10) Waterfall is its strongest physical Water STAB while doubling as an HM, while Earthquake is here for obvious reasons. Just don't use against a Grass type. Waterfall: It's an HM. I don't understand why people wouldn't want to spend money on TM's, if they want to use them, they're going to have to buy them eventually, whether that be during the game, or once they've completed it. - Thunderbolt Pre-poisoning Hariyama with Guts makes it nigh unstoppable, especially if youre playing on switch mode. Bro sub out Gardevoir for Gallade as it takes forever to get dawn stone if you have one system like me. - Magical Leaf Sceptile has a nice physical movepool, so it's highly viable to have Leaf Storm as your sole special move and 3 other physical moves to allow Sceptile to stay in after using Leaf Storm. Ability: Pickup Ice Beam- Good power, covers Grass weakness Earthquake is through Heart Scale as well! - Psycho Cut - Nasty Plot Gardevoir - Psychic/Fairy Surf. Earthquake: Seafloor Cave, right before the final evil team leader battle, you can't miss it - Magic Coat The Assault Vest makes Aggron more of a tank, and I don't use status moves anyway. Only use it if you didn't choose Brick Break. Linoone @ anything Focus Blast and Dragon Pulse are coverage moves, with Dragon Pulse getting STAB from Mega-Sceptile. Ability: Static / Lightning Rod - Boomburst Kecleon @ Expert Belt Linoone can be subbed out for Zangoose or Seviper, which are both really good in-game. - Earthquake Volt Switch: is great STAB and lets you pivot. Linoone @ any item I won't bother listing the locations of these HM's, since their necessary to complete the game anyway. - Crunch / Earthquake. - Psychic - Shadow Sneak. Flip Turn. I didn't have any items left so I just gave her a Pecha Berry. Pyre - Dual Chop Great Pokemon who also gets Fly and Strength. :), This team features not one, but two HM slaves, to allow the rest of the team to fire on all cylinders. - Water Gun (starting move) > Surf (HM obtained after defeating Norman) I kinda cheated a little and brought a Dawn Stone over from my Pokmon Y version so I could have a powerhouse early on and he just rocks it. Ability: Natural Cure > Pixilate Dollface (Banette) @ Banettite - Thunderbolt Creepy Pokedex entries aside, this Pokmon has great Speed. Ability: Overgrow -> Lightning Rod. - Ice Beam Lucy (Ninetales) @ Pecha Berry Thunderbolt: Given by Wattson after calming the box legendary and investigating New Mauville Item: Cameruptite or Charcoal - Waterfall I used an Air Cutter Beautifly to cleanly KO it, but if you didnt pick one up, Wing Attack Zubat should also make quick work of it. - Fly Which one you get doesn't really matter, as you'll hardly ever use it in battle and they learn the same HMs. Swords Dance: Good for setting up. Grass Knot covers Ground types. STAB Earthquake and Waterfall from base 150 Attack is quite strong. - Giga Drain - Flamethrower. - Thunderbolt / Thunder Camerupt You just have to. This team performed very well in a Nuzlocke I just completed, and it makes a very strong team for a casual playthrough as well. Quick Attack is primarily used to conserve PP on more powerful moves, and to break Sturdy on specific Pokemon. It can even learn Blizzard or Ice Beam to deal with Grass Pokemon by itself, but it isn't. - Recover Rock Smash: HM. Steven gives you one early on and it's a great partner. Swellow is probably the best Fly user in Hoenn, except for Crobat; the others are a bit lacking in attack to make use of Fly in battle. - Shadow Ball: TM30 at Mt. The Latis both get Surf and Waterfall in addition to the moves on this set, but those are both covered by other party members already. Mt. I'd keep x-scissor on MSceptile and swap EQ with Leaf storm. If you dont have either of these Pokemon, Disarming Voice Ralts and Wing Attack Zubat can easily take down the Gym. Supersalamence93 here bringing you another Pokemon Teambuilder. Mist Ball/Luster Purge. - Thunder Wave / Hidden Power [Ice] - Ice Beam / Frost Breath Ability: Pickup Moonblast can be learnt at level 62, however it can be learnt sooner by going to the Move Reminder and getting him to teach it, it in exchange for a Heart Scale. - Surf. Brick Breaks primary use is to break the screens that Glacias Glalie #1 and Stevens Claydol set up, should it be necessary. TM72 Volt Switch is awarded to the player as a prize for defeating Wattson. With Skill Link, Bullet Seed becomes one of the best Grass-type moves out there, and Earthquake is a standard. Swampert is a great Poke in its own right, with a solid movepool, great Attack, and only one weakness. Type disadvantage is an issue with Fire types but you can change one move to Earthquake or use Aggron with Surf. What is a good in-game team for Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl? Hammer Arm for coverage and Ice Punch takes care of the 4x Grass weakness. Manectric @ Magnet / Life Orb And finally, in the depths on the Shoal Cave (and by the depths I mean the first room), we meet our final permanent team member, the thicc walrus. Aside from giving you free stuff, Linoone also doubles as a pretty good HM user, and a decent battle Pokemon with only Headbutt. That said, you can take advantage of Crobat's high Speed and good Attack to end most Pokemon quickly with STAB Acrobatics and Cross Poison. - Needle Arm - Flamethrower (Pre-E4 - no items, moves or Pokmon only available in the Post-Game) Boomburst is a fantastic move with a base power of 140, and 210 with STAB. Shadow Sneak: Priority STAB. - Rock Slide Ability: Sturdy I'm making my Swampert team that I used to beat the game. - Iron Tail: Level 35 Woah. Not the most brilliant move pool in the world, but the Electric/Steel typing really helps. Thunderbolt / Discharge: Thunderbolt is the better move but Discharge is amazing if used in a Double Battle with Mega Sceptile, giving the latter a Special Attack boost and damaging the other enemies. - Thunderbolt - Bullet Punch Ability: Clear Body / Liquid Ooze - Steel Wing Waterfall and Crunch are physical STAB. - Bite (Level 20) > Crunch (Level 41) Blaze Kick was Blaziken's signature move and it's an all-around great Fire STAB. - Brick Break: TM31 in Sootopolis City. - Grass Knot. Ability: Soundproof Ability: Torrent --> Swift Swim Focus Blast / False Swipe: False Swipe to help catch stuff, but Focus Blast is a great power move. For its moves, Earthquake is its main STAB. [emailprotected] Expert Belt Oh, goody. - Rock Smash (HM) Skarmory @ Leftovers - Dragon Claw - Echoed Voice - Dark Pulse - Brick Break Hey sumwun. Toxic and Protect wear the opponent down effectively. Best part? Zen Headbutt is solid filler coverage, and Earthquake is Earthquake! Swap it for Psychic or something if you wish, but the signature moves have coin-flip odds to lower one of the target's Special stats (Attack for Latias, Defence for Latios). A very good wall, with good attacking stats but low Speed. This is a good team but could I use swampert instead Of skeptile and replace gyrados with breloom.
