NO ONE has even come CLOSE to beating me in my sapphire or emerald with this team,but I would like at least a second opinion.

Dynamicpunch/sky uppercut
Blaze kick
Earthquake
overheat


dragon claw
steel wing
fly
flamethrower

<===surprisingly good and doubles as an HM slave
surf
dive
waterfall
crunch


hyper voice
hyper beam
shadow ball
ice beam


thunder
thunderbolt
iron tail
brick break


psychic
hypnosis
dream eater
facade

Correct. And thanks.I did recently update my with that, and dynamicpunch ws only as a maybe in emerald.Thanks!

I have a team that i trained for a long time, and i want to know how it could be improved.
P.S. Don't advice about nature, or IVs and EVs. I have that team for a long time and if i have to change it's nature, it means that i have to breed for another one, and makes it out to high level took way too much time. Just give the advice about the team structure, held items, and moveset.

- Rash - Sitrus Berry
-Sky Uppercut
-Hyper Beam
-Blaze Kick
-Bulk Up

- Bold - Leftovers
-Psychic
-Calm Mind
-Thunderbolt
-Reflect

- Adamant - Amulet Coin

I've been using these Pokemon in Emerald since I beat the Elite Four.
Lv. 100 @Lefovers (FYI: I've got four Lefties so it might surprise you)
Serious l Blaze
EVs: ??? (I didn't keep track, because I didn't know what EVs were then)
Fire Punch
Flamethrower
EQ
Sky Uppercut
My starter, and the basis of my username (first 100 ever excluding Silver+nickname=Torchie), she's been in my team since... the beginning of Emerald. She also doubles as my opener in both Battle Pike (which I beat for the Silver Symbol) and Battle Dome (I was so close!). Fire Punch over Blaze Kick to max the accuracy, EQ for Lucy's Seviper and other annoying Pokemon, Sky Uppercut for a good old STAB move, and Flamethrower for a special STAB.
Lv. 100 @Leftovers
Adamant l Air Lock
EVs: ???
Dragon Claw
Hyper Beam (This is the one I need the most help with. What's good? I only have 1 Heart Scale left.)
Extremespeed
HP-Fighting
Surprisingly, my Rayquaza is good at HP-Fighting, so please don't criticize me for this, as it saved my butt during my first Elite Four sweep, as ny Torchie went down (for that battle) on Walrein's critical Surf. Without HP, I would've lost to Glacia (I had , , , and an egg as my team, along with the two mentioned). Dragon Claw for STAB, Extremespeed for priority, and Hyper Beam was just to fill up a spot (I had Waterfall on it until I got my own )
@NeverMeltIce
Adamant l Natural Cure
EVs: ???
Ice Beam
Sky Attack
Fly
Dragon Dance
I have Ice Beam in order to beat Drake whenever I forget to bring out for Elite Four (which is often these days). That, and it saved my butt in Battle Dome more than once. Sky Attack and Fly are STAB, and DD is for getting boosted stats.
@Silk Scarf
Lonely l Immunity
EVs: ???
Crush Claw
Taunt
Slash
Swords Dance
A Zangoose in Emerald? I got Zangoose in a trade with a friend of mine whose character was called Ruby. Anyway, before Lucy, I had Thunder instead of Slash for her, Crush Claw is for STAN amd a chamce to lower defense, which helped me a lot for Lucy's . Taunt was to make Shuckle use Struggle for two turns. while Swords Dance was to boost stats during those turns. I owe Zangoose so much for playing a major role in beating Lucy, the "Queen" of Battle Pike.
Lv. 89 or 90 (it's been forever since I checked) @no item (for the moment-getting some Lum Berries)
Calm l Volt Absorb
EVs: ???, although I'd imagine it to be 252 Sp. Atk., 129 Speed, 129 Sp. Def.
Thunder
Thunderbolt
Rain Dance (previously BP)
Shadow Ball (previously Bite)
As an Eevee, I tried to get an Espeon, but I gave up after Lv. 44 (it's a male as well, and I like female Espeons), and its nature really didn't give me many choices. I ended up choosing a Jolteon, for its special pool. I had Bite instead of Shadow Ball until the last time I checked Emerald and gave Shadow Ball to him, because I was sort of having trouble with Phoebe. I gave BlackGlasses to him until I realized that Bite didn't work well with a -Atk. nature. BP was just unnecessary on Jolteon (who is way too offensive for my liking, but what the heck) so I got Rain Dance to support his Thunder.
Lv. 71 @Shell Bell
Timid l Levitate
EVs: ???
Dragon Claw
Faint Attack
Hyper Beam
Crunch
I didn't realize that Timid was a -Atk. nature until I got to know Psypoke. ( ) Well, I think that Faint Attack's a Special attack in Gen. III so I'm not that worried. Anyway, Dragon Claw for STAB, Crunch and FA for variety, and Hyper Beam for finishing.
That's my team, but I also have two alternates for , of the same level that I'm worried about.
@Miracle Seed
Timid l Overgrow
EVs: ???
Leaf Blade
Bullet Seed (I'm taking it out, don't worry)
Aerial Ace
Giga Drain
With one special move and three physical moves, my Sceptile's not that good, as it's Timid nature. Do you have any suggestions? I'd like it if I kept Leaf Blade.
@Silk Scarf (getting another Lefties on him as soon as I start playing my Emerald again)
Docile l Rock head
Iron Tail
Double Edge
Metal Claw
Iron Defense

Do you have any suggestions? I'd like to get Rock Slide to it instead of Metal Claw, but i'm not sure where it is. It's going to take me forever to get a good enough Aggron again, since I got this from my Sapphire Version, thus with boosted EXP gain, so please don't tell me to breed unless it;s absolutely necessary.
Thank you so much in advance!

This team is for the Battle Frontier, mostly the Tower and the Dome, it has performed fine so far (just beat Tucker for the first time) but I am still not very pleased with it, they are good on their own but don't seem to complement each other as a team. I usually just use quick sweepers, but this time I wanted to use bulky, more defensive Pokemon as a change. What I am looking for are any suggestions on replacements I can consider, any moveset changes, and item suggestions. I used the Smogon movesets for the most part, but I know those are for competitive battling, not so much for the in-game battles. And lastly, the EV's are estemated, within about 20, I just don't remember exactly what they are.

@Brightpowder
Jolly/ 252 HP 252 Def
Surf
Ice Beam
Wish
Roar/???

I really like Vaporeon and is the only one of the three I probably won't switch. the item isn't too good, but I gave Leftovers to Snorlax. It just demolishes everything, it has only lost to the bulkier physical sweepers. Even when its not very effective it usually kills things in three hits or left, I just don't know what to do with the last move. The computer usually doesn't have the intelligence to set up DD or CM pokemon so Roar and Haze are kinda pointless, and I don't know the DV's so HP isn't an option either. I also usually lead with Vaporeon so if something pops up that it doesn't like, it can use wish and basically give Snorlax a free Curse.

@Leftovers
Adament/ 150 HP 100 ATK 150 Def 100 SDef
Curse
Shadow Ball
Body Slam
Rest/???

This is (nearly) an exact copy of the Smogon Curslax. As long as I keep it away from Steels and Fighting types it does fine, but I'd like to change this or Metagross to a special sweeper.

@Choice Band
Adament/ 252 HP 252 Atk
Meteor Mash
EQ
Sludge Bomb
Ariel Ace/???

Again, nearly standard. I know Explosion is traditionally the fourth move, but the tutor is a one use thing so I didn't want to use it. Good on its own, but again, it just feels like these three just don't jell together very well.

this thread is probably dead, but will post here anyways

this is for emerald battle frontier

Starmie
Timid Nature
Natural Cure
Hold Item: Sitrus Berry
T-bolt, Surf, Ice Beam, Recover

Camerupt
Adament Nature
Magma Armor
Hold Item: Chesto Berry
Attract
Earthquake/ Rock Slide
Flamethrower
Rest

So earth quake or rock slide for camerupt?

Salamence
Rash Nature/ Hasty Nature/ Adamant Nature
Intimidate
Dragon Claw
Rest
Brick Break
Toxic

which nature is preferable for this Salamence?

also, did i even select the right nature(s) for my team in order to efficiently play them?

can I survive battle palace with this? and most other places?

thanks!

I might as well raise a separate 3-team for battle palace

thanks for the help! but as a recap...
Starmie
Timid Nature
Natural Cure
Hold Item: Sitrus Berry
T-bolt, Surf, Ice Beam, Recover

Sitrus Berry or Leftover or Shell Bell? I don't think I can plant enough berries, really. >_>

Camerupt
Brave Nature
Magma Armor
Hold Item:
Attract
Earthquake
Flamethrower
Rest

On second thought, Camerupt could be an all out physical sweeper, maybe with attract and rest switched out for Body Slam and Rock Slide, what do you think? But then with Attract and Rest, I can stall longer...

Salamence is the confusing one... could do both physical and special...

On second thought, maybe I should make it special to cover psychic, ghost, and dark types...
I think some of the brains of Battle Frontier uses dark type and ghost type
so possible movesets:
I can breed insanely as long as I can find a chain to get the moves to the pokemon...

Mixed:
Aerial Ace
Return
Dragon Claw
Crunch

Physical:
Rock Slide
Dragon Claw
Steel Wing
Return

Special:
Dragon Claw
Flamethrower
Crunch
IDK, Return?

OR OR OR.. I can just find another third pokemon, really.

And I'll figure out Palace another time, LOL.

thanks again for the help!

thanks again!
I guess a mostly physical Salamence does it...
Earthquake
Rock Slide
Aerial Ace
Dragon Claw

I guess something like Brave (+atk -speed) or Lonely (+atk - def) or Naughty (+atk -sp def) does it

The Third Generation Rating Center is to get your team makeup and movesets evaluated by others, specifically for the games Ruby, Sapphire, Emerald, FireRed, and LeafGreen. It sounds like you're referring to Pokemon Yellow, which would be appropriate for the Kanto Region forum, not Hoenn Region.

I need help with moves and items. I need to decide between blazken and camerupt. Also, I need one more pokemon, and I am considering replacing swellow too. Should I add glaccier, salamence, shiftry, flygon? what... also, i don't use legendaries, and this team is mainly for battling friends and as a general, decent team. my team is as follows.

blaziken(still leveling, need moves) - brave nature, blaze ability
-blaze kick
-
-
-

OR (should I level up blaziken so that I can have a fighting type as well, or should I keep camerupt?)

camerupt- modest, magma armor
-rock slide
-overheat
-Fire blast
- earthquake

Manectric- Lax nature, static ability
-Thunder
-Thunderbolt
-Quick Attack
-Bite

Swampert- Naughty nature, torrent ability, holds soft sand
-roar
-surf
-Earthquake
-Ice beam

Gardevoir- Hasty nature, trace ability
-calm mind
-confusion
-phsychic
-teleport

Swellow- Sassy nature, guts ability
-facade
-steel wing
-arial ace
- hidden power (any good replacement?)

I'm a relatively inexperienced trainer, and my goal is to construct an in-game water-only team for Pokemon Emerald.


- Earthquake
- Muddy Water
- Take Down
- Brick Break


- Amnesia
- Water Spout
- Rest
- Blizzard


- Hyrdo Pump
- Screech
- Barrier
- Sludge Bomb


- Light Screen
- Thunderbolt
- Psychic
- Surf


- Hyper Beam
- Dragon Dance
- Hydro Pump
- Earthquake


- Hydro Pump
- Recover
- Ice Beam
- Iron Tail

First off, tell me if I missed anything:

I can do the following:

Change the Type of Pokémons
Change Ability
Change thier Attacks

**NOTE ABOUT PURE POWER SLAKING & OTHERS*

I don't know any good sets for them. Help?

If this isn't legal or something, tell me and I'll erase this post myself

I'm working towards bulding a team with my favorite pokés:

Umbreon
Lugia
Vileplume
Poliwrath
Arcanine

The 6th slot coul be filled by many other pokémon, but I'm currently using Electabuzz, since I'm neutral torwards it.

Ahem; The team:


Ability: Wonder Guard
Dark/Ghost
• Shadow Ball
• Bite
• Recover/???
• Confuse Ray

I love flinching, and Bite can do it, plus it's a Dark Attack. SB is just to take advantage of Wonder Guard, plus STAB.


Ability: Serene Grace (ALL of the attacks come with an added effect, and I'm taking advantage of that!)
Water/Fighting
• Roling Kick
• Water Pulse
• Ice Beam
• Sludge Bomb

Hhhhm. Well, Let's see. I can do the following:

1. Freeze them with Ice Beam right away (20% chance of Freezing)

Or:

2. Poison them(60% chance), Confuse them(40% chance) and Flinch them (60% chance)

It's mostly about the added effects, anything I do WILL do more than damage them. Poliwrath is a favorite of mine.


Ability: Effect Spore
• Sludge Bomb
• Giga Drain
• Leech Seed
• Ingrain

MWAHAHAHAHH! Tanking Vile! Only that tough. Pretty good tough.


Ability: Flame Body
• Flamethrower
• Crunch
• Double Team
• Needle Arm/Confuse Ray/Attract (Arcanine is female)

Well. I don't really know. Randomly came up with this.


Ability: Wonder Guard
• Aeroblast (PP Max'd)
• Confuse Ray
• Needle Arm - Acutally FLY, but only because I need a flyer, and because Aeroblast runs out of PP surprisingly often
• Recover

Same as 'Nine... Any help with this?

Sixth Slot: ???
Ablity: ???
Type: ???
• ???
• ???
• ???
• ???

Preferably should come with a status inflicting move and/or a flinching move. Will do anyway.

Can I rate teams or something? Well... I'm GOOD not at rating. Tell me if I'm doing something wrong and I'll delete this post myself.

I need help with moves and items. Also, I need one more pokemon. also, i don't use legendaries, and this team is mainly for battling friends and as a general, decent team. my team is as follows.

blaziken(still leveling, need moves) - brave nature, blaze ability
-flamethrower
-sky uppercut
-slash
-bulk up


Manectric- Lax nature, static ability
-Thunder

Swampert- Naughty nature, torrent ability, holds soft sand
-roar
-surf
-Earthquake
-Ice beam

Gardevoir- Hasty nature, trace ability

-hypnosis
-phsychic
-shadow ball

I'm leveling up a shelgon to get a salamence

The other pokemon is going to be: metang, walrein, glalie, absol, sudwoodo, or a ghost type

Nope, never again will I use this site as far as team rating. Sorry but you guys take wayyy too long for anything, much longer for a freaking response.

You can get quagsire, but only after the E4
