@Krook King i mean swellow actually only gets some decent flying and normal type moves and its ability is also not that great because items like the toxic or flame orb were introduced in gen 4 therefore crobat is a much better candidate because it has a wider movepool and better typing
Honestly, Gardevoir is too much of a glass cannon in Gen 3. Also, its type coverage is pretty minimal with its move pool. Never liked using it much, personally.
No need for a psychic poke really. Elite 4 is dark so bad ghost so risky ice so no real good use and dragon so no. Then either steel or water as champion no need even if you teach it shockwave I would rather have an electric type like magnetric
Zangoose is also an amazing choice if you have Ruby. With Swords Dance it kills basically anything in its path. Then give it three out of Brick Break, Aerial Ace, Shadow Ball and Return/Slash. It's TM reliant, but boy it wrecks absolutely everything. Just watch out for its frailty when setting up.
I disagree with this team. I agree with Swampert being the best starter, altho I personally love Blaziken. Crobat is good, altho not excellent, but Zubat is just a pain in the ass to evolve which makes it useless in the beginning. And its stats arent that powerful either. I would replace this one with Skarmory. Skarmory has a great attack and defense and is way better than Crobat. I agree with Hariyama. A fighter in Hoenn is so important, especially in the Elite four. Manectric is very good too, so no complaints about that. Banette is okay, but you're gonna face problems in the elite four. Since ghost is super effective against ghost, and no way can Banette sweep through the whole team. This should be replaced by Absol. Yes I know, Dark is special in this gen and Absol doesnt have great Special attack. But teach this one Shadow Ball, Slash and swords dance and it can sweep through literally every team. Exploud is just a generally bad pokemon, it doesnt stand out in any category, it is mediocre overall. Swampert, Skarmory, Hariyama, Absol, Manectric are just a beast in gen 3. For the last pokemon I would choose between Flygon and Gardevoir. Flygon would purpose as a mixed attacker, with Dragonclaw and Earthquake as Its main attacks. Gardevoir is very handy in the second gym, and, believe it or not, with Imprison and Psychic, you just have to kill Claydol and Solrock in the 7th gym, use imprison, and the other two pokemon literally cant touch you (since their pokemon only know psychic as its attacking move). I've literally played emerald over 50 times, with so many different teams. Banette, Crobay and Exploud are just bad choices.
I will agree that Zubat is a pain to raise, but it's worth it when it finally evolves to Crobat. I got Crobat at just Level 25. Crobat actually has great stats. It's extremely fast, hits harder than Skarmory, and has decent bulk.
@@picklejuice7041 hmm.. I thought Skarmory had a 100 base attack but turns out I'm wrong. Crobat isnt a bad choice then, I just really dislike raising zubat. I think Flygon is a better option tho. Better stats overall, Dragon Claw, Earthquake, Crunch and Fly and is a very good combination. Altho Trapinch is also not fun to raise
Yeah I agree. The team he is presenting really isn’t great and certainly not the “best”. I know it’s an in-game team but putting HMs on your party members is just silly (other than surf of course) I’ve played Emerald dozens of times and the favorite team I ever made was: Blaziken (Blaze Kick, Sky Uppercut, Aerial Ace, Bulk Up) Ludicolo (Surf, Ice Beam, Giga Drain, Leech Seed {egg move}) Slaking (Return, Brick Break, Hyper Beam, Yawn) Lanturn (Waterfall, TBolt, TWave, Ice Beam) Absol (Shadow Ball, Swords Dance, Slash, Iron Tail) Flygon (Dragon Claw, Earthquake, Flamethrower, Crunch) Dual water types is a little unorthodox but both their secondary types are nice and it’s easier to fit all the water HMs on the team. Running ice beam on both bc of Drake and it covers Lanturns grass weakness and Ludicolos flying weakness. Flygon & Gardevoir are certainly interchangeable. Going with flygon adds a bit of a challenge since you won’t get it until much later.
Recently did a sapphire run through and wound up with a Zangoose on my team. This guy ended up being the best in-game pokemon I've ever used. It's fast and has a high attack stat - and it learns Swords Dance at (around) level 17. Moveset I had on it was Swords Dance, Shadow Ball, Return, Brick Break. This guy ripped through the entire elite 4 after 2 Swords Dance boosts even though he was underleveled
hey, ik it's been two years, but is ninetales a good sub for exploud? my team is swampert, hariyama, golbat (future crobat), manectric, banette, and ninetales/zangoose
Emerald was my first pokemon game and I've played through it multiple times. The team isn't half bad, since ive used every pokemon on this list at some point or another in gen 3 but here is what I would change 1. Skarmory- Hands down the best flying type available. Crobat deals decent damage but is taken down easily if it fails to KO. Basically Skar is more reliable 2. Banette is slow, which is why Absol would probably have been better. Shadow Ball coming off a base 125 attack stat after a swords dance boost makes up for lack of stab 3. Gardevoir does Manectric's job better, because calm mind. Also higher special bulk. 4.Slaking with Hyper Beam can cleave through anything.
1. No it doesn't! Sure, 4 weaknesses as opposed to 2 but still has decent defenses, heck, Crobat has more sp. Def than Skarmory! 3. No electric stab and Manectric is good!
zubat is a pain to use at the start and skarmory is too late in the game for me, i used swellow but it ended up underleveled by the time i was battling the elite four (mainly bc i went thru a lot getting skarmory in my old incomplete emerald save file that i accidentally deleted and i wanted to get a flying type right away) i think it was underleveled bc i overused my gardevoir against fighting types. gardevoir was literally unstoppable in my emerald playthrough and it proves that you don’t really need manectric if you have a gardevoir with thunderbolt (i use both metagross and ampharos for the postgame tho)
I don't think is necessary to Remastered the Team from Black and White Team,the only thing i could see Mystic changing is replacing Cofagrigus with Leavanny,Leavanny is a great in - game offensive Pokémon that can fix The original Team Biggest flaw a good counter against Clay and Grimsley ( Especially Krookodile )
Mystic: "I wanted Exploud to be the final surprise for you guys..." Also Mystic: Puts Exploud on the thumbnail and at various other points in the video...
A while back I picked up Emerald after only ever playing gen 1 and 2 when I was a youngling and I watched the original version of this to help me make a game plan. I ended up rejecting several of your old choices but the Exploud line was a wonderful surprise for its soundproof ability letting it shrugged off supersonics for days and later turning into a powerhouse!
You get steel wing from Steven right after catching Zubat which makes it actually turn into a great team member before getting wing attack and evolving into Golbat/Crowbat, especially with how fast it is.
@@prismoth Even if all the heart scales are used, no problem. Just steal them from wild Luvdisc. Now, if you accidentally made your Pokemon forget Thief, Skitty can learn the move Covet.
My god, thanks so much Mystic. Your team worked like a charm! I beat EVERY gym leader with ease including wallace. I always knew Manetric would be usefull. He risked his life to 2 shot Milotic... R.I.P Thunderhound..
Glad you are able to recognize Crobat and was way better than any other Flying type. My team is consisting of Swampert, Crobat, Gardevoir, Aggron, Flygon or Salamence, Hariyama or Machamp (If I have somone to trade.)
I still have Emerald on this day and Torchic was always my best pick especially my 6 teams of Pokemon for Hoenn Region Blaziken, Molotic, Gardevoir, Electrode, Absol, Salamance
Exploud Should Definitly Have Shadow Ball, Brick Break, Or Something Over F*cking Shock Wave... Lol It Should Also Have Ice Beam Over Blizzard Too, And Maybe Flamethrower Over Fire Blast You Can Also Put Earthquake On The Set
My Exploud when I ran it in Sapphire had Fire Blast, Shadow Ball, Ice Beam, and Brick Break. Totally agree!! Though, Return is tempting because of friendship and STAB making it strong.
Bro absol is a beast in game if you know how to use it correctly watch chugaconny playthrough of Pokemon emerald and you'll see how good absol is also without the physical special split
You know, even with truant, Slaking still is good. Also, I think you are making a little mistake. You (along with a lot of people) seem to be assuming that truant was given because Slaking has too high stats... but what if it was the opposite? Because Slaking needed truant they had to give it an extremely high attack power just to make it viable. Remember, "abilities" are often just natural states the Pokemon have rather than being real powers.
Also, you can abuse the Hyper Beam strat with Slaking. Kill something that's not Rock, Steel, or Ghost type with Hyper Beam. And, by using Shift Battle Style, you can get a free switch without having to do both Truant and Recharge Turn. Emile used that strat in his Emerald Let's play.
I agree here Slaking is great in casual gen 3 It's like the ultimate 1 shot and switch mon. Also helped by the fact using items counts for your truant turn in these games. So you can attack, then heal or use an x item, and attack again, if necessary. But you'll probably just be going with hyper beam all the time.
Angry Kea Yeah, Slaking is weak in comp, but the shift mechanic in regular gameplay makes a huge difference. In a comp battle, you’d have to manually switch after every attack, which makes Slaking a huge liability. In game, you OHKO most things that don’t resist hyper beam since they don’t have EVs, and you switch out for free, so slaking’s weakness is hardly apparant. For RSE gameplay, I’d personally prefer Slaking to exploud, but the caveat is slakoth is still frustrating to evolve. Incidentally, a slaking team did at one point manage to peak 3rd in a gen 6 OU suspect test ladder.That team used banded adamant slaking, since the only thing Slaking had going for it was being able to OHKO more walls than Mega Medicham. It is fairly awkward to use and takes a lot of team building to not be completely useless, but it was cool seeing Slaking do something in OU, even though obviously it’s not the most optimal strat. Obviously, that doesn’t change the fact that even in ZU (the tier below smogon’s lowest official tier), Slaking is only a C tier mon and you’d be better off using Komala in ZU.
Exploud finally getting the recognition he deserves. Solid Nornal type is always welcomed. Same for Banette. One of the best Ghost types, especially in gen 3 with the physical/special split.
I would personally add shadow ball to exploud's move pool because normal types are resistant to ghost, thus creating a good counter. (Banette also learns shadow ball via level up so you don't need the TM for that)
My version of the team: Swampert @ Mystic Water Ability: Torrent - Surf - Earthquake - Ice Beam - Brick Break The starter. No need to explain the starter choice. Brick Break can be replaced with Waterfall, i just think more coverage is better here. You recieve the Mystic Water alongside the Castform on the weather institute. Don't use the Earthquake TM on Swampert, he learns it via level up. Gardevoir Ability: Synchronize - Psychic - Calm Mind - Thunderbolt - Magical Leaf Alakazam is better, but i'm going with the non trade evo alternative here. There's not much you can change on the moveset. Breloom @ Miracle Seed Ability: Effect Spore - Giga Drain - Sky Uppercut - Mach Punch - Leech Seed Even though grass types are special in this gen, Breloom still an amazing choice. Brick Break is better than Sky Uppercut, but the Brick Break TM is already on Swampert. Make sure you get the Miracle seed in the Petalbug Woods. Crobat Ability: Inner Focus - Aerial Ace - Sludge Bomb - Steel Wing - Fly The best Flying type this region has to offer. Make sure you get the Soothe Bell in Slateport. Not much else to say about this guy. Flygon @ Soft Sand Ability: Levitate - Dragon Claw - Earthquake - Crunch - Flamethrower Can be kinda tricky to level up, but the end result is worth it. You can use Flygon to fly and switch Crobat for another pokemon if you want, i just rly love Crobat. Magneton @ Magnet Ability: Sturdy - Thunderbolt - Thunder Wave - Tri Attack - Flash Much better than Manectric. There's not much else you can use in the moveset though. Make sure you grab the magnet on the trick master's house after you beat the final gym.
Swampert, Gardevoir, Hariama, Skarmory, Absol, Torkoal Honestly one of my favorite teams because of the Pokemon used and times whited out For me personally i whited out 0 times but came close a few times due to lazy mistakes and also playing at 4 am with no sleep
YAAAAAAAAAAAAAS, MY BABY BANETTE. Also maybe switch Secret Power with Return for the extra power. Max friendship Return has a base 102 power while Secret Power has 70 and I don't think the chance for status effects make up for that. Edit: You can get 2 Return TMs. The one in Fallarbor Town and one in Pacifidlog Town when you show an old man a Pokémon with high friendship.
Love it, I was happy to see my Crobat already looked exactly the same already, but not sure if i can get behind rock smash and rock tomb on hariyama. In this gen rock tomb is 80% accuracy and only 50 power. Even if it lowers speed, it's just not worth it with such a low power and a 20% miss chance. Same with rock smash. 20 power is a joke even if it can lower defense. They later buffed both of these moves but in gen 3 they are pretty useless imo
Rock Tomb is still gonna hit hard regardless because its coming from a Pokemon with a base 120 Attack stat. And Rock Smash is just there because its necessary, and Hariyama doesn't have much coverage, so why not?
@@jordanhn6230 Because it's garbage... Just put it on some hm pal loaded with strength, rock smash, flash if you can maybe teleport or dig for utility. Deposit it when you don't need it have another hm pal for waterfall and whirlpool and cut if doable and you're good. Way better to have four awesome pokemon ev trained and all and 2 hm pals.
The rapid facts you needed to read off on your script paired with your video’s editing make this both super helpful and also a lot to take in. I’m seeing you flash the teams Swampert is good against and to float the pictures on the screen along with the info being formatted the same way is a really nice addition to the information being provided Thank you
Considering he said grass types are not good in Hoenn region, then a minute later praised Manectric as being amazing in Hoenn because all the water types im starting to think he has no idea what he is talking about, another example is he has Manectric using a dark type to beat a Metagross which in gen 3 steel resists dark types...
For Hariyama, MysticUmbreon is definitely right about Bulk Up, it helped me a bunch against Norman in my Ruby play through; after 3 Bulk Up’s, I swept through his entire team.
I used a Cacturne instead of Exploud, and it was awesome! Faint Attack for Ghost types, Giga Drain/Needle Arm for more Rock and Water Coverage, Pin Missile against Psychic, and Strength
Gen 3 remastered. Move Costs Remastered! Psychic... 3500 Coins (optional at worst) Ice Beam... 4000 Coins (and completely optional to the point of being unnecessary) Blizzard... 5500 Poké Fire Blast... 5500 Poké So... 11000 Poké if you’re amazingly patient for certain moves. Add 70000 Poké for Psychic TM early. Add another 70000 Poké for Ice Beam Early, or if choosing over Blizzard, you just need to add 64500 instead, bringing the highest total to... 151000 Poké for full money invested in early access. Good luck!!!
Money is easy this generation. If you zone in and out of the areas by pettleberg woods and keep talking to the lady and rich boys with zigzagoon and us amulate coin money piles up
So what's the issue here? Play up to the 6th badge and continue training with gabby and ty because all you need is fly to get to all three routes that they are on. If you're patient enough, your money will add up over time, so you can hit up the game corner as many times as you want. But I get that some people don't take this route because it's too slow or not fun for them
As good as Swampert itself is, I've always preferred the teams I can build around Blaziken and Sceptile more. Sceptile is the best Grass type in RSE bar none, so I can slot in Camerupt and Starmie for a full Fire/Water/Grass core, then fill in the rest with Crobat/Swellow, Manectric/Magneton, and then Hariyama/Heracross. Blaziken gets both Fire/Fighting, and if you grew up on Sapphire or Emerald, you get Ludicolo, which covers Fire/Water/Grass with just two Pokemon. From there, I can slot in Crobat/Swellow, Manectric/Magneton, Flygon/Donphan, and Gardevoir.
My team contained some of the best Pokemon in hoenn Swampert(Splashyy) Aggron(Scar) Gardievor(Korai) Exploud(Badshah) Flygon(Zedaph) Salemance(Impulse) I love this team this sweeps even toughest of the Pokemon Oh boy salemance takes forever to evolve but finally I got him! It's worth it
Gardevoir with the ability trace: Pokemon with an amazing ability: I can be ur angel Slaking: or I can be ur devil Gardevoir is loafing around!!!! Edit: HOLY that's a lot of likes.
In oras, outside Dewford cave there was this trainer with a slakoth. I was using a ralts with trace and mashing the a button while doing something else, and wondering why I took 5 minutes on that bloody battle.
Loki well he’s going off of the idea that you’re following this list so picking swampert will yield blaziken unusable for the play through unless traded.
@@herbertortiz9159 Yes, it is a joke. If your reason of using Breloom is for type coverage, Manectric or Gardevoir with Thunderbolt is good for the Water-types and Swampert already can take care of Rock and Ground types and Breloom is 4x effective against Flying. Plus Breloom's stats is mediocre.
@@aquaninja1903 Breloom stats aren't any worse than Hariyama. Breloom has generally better moves, an actual Speed stat, comparable offenses, and the x4 weakness to Flying doesn't really matter if you have a good tank on your team like Aron/Lairon, Skarmory, or even Geodude to switch into. Not to mention that Hoenn's endgame, no matter which version you play, is so chock full of Water-types that it doesn't hurt to have more than once check for them, especially if you're playing Emerald since Barboach and Whiscash -- whom are both immune to Electric -- are more common on enemies in that game. Hariyama can at least do some interesting Fake Out strategies on Norman's Slaking, but Dustox and Pelipper can do just as well if not a little better with Protect strats either.
I completed Pokemon Emerald for the first time yesterday with not much knowledge on what Pokemon are good or bad, this was my team; -Aggron: I thought he looked cool and I've never used a steel type before [Metal claw, Metal Sound, Mud slap, Earthquake] -Flygon: Wanted to see what Trapinch evolved into and was pleasantly surprised [Crunch, fly, dig, Dragon claw] -Absol: It looked unique and strong [Thunderbolt, Shadow ball, Double Team, Future sight] -Kecleon: It's ability gimmick interested me [Brick break, Ice beam, Aerial ace, skill swap] -Mannetric: Was planning on switching it out when I found a better electric type but never did [Spark, thunder wave, flash, strength] -Millotic: I heard about feebas from Pokemon GO and wanted to try my luck at finding one, then got fully invested till I found and evolved it [Surf, dive, waterfall, recover] I also had a Dustox and a Hariyama for the majority of the game till I made some switches. Gonna play Fire Red now
Hey Mystic I used the previous best hoenn team and it just destroyed hoenn Especially Slaking(it one shot even in the elite 4) It was a very good team But this team is also good😄
Credit to you for trying two Pokémon I wouldn’t have originally considered: Banette and Exploud. With your move set, I can see why you chose them. I would have elected Gardevoir, but that would mean taking away Thunderbolt from Manectric. Plus, STAB Electric is more important in these games than STAB Psychic. I suppose I also understand not picking Slaking. Truant is annoying, it’s in the Slow experience group, and it would need both Brick Break and Shadow Ball for coverage, plus Return and the Earthquake TM (I just let Swampert learn it naturally). It’s just a pity that Hariyama isn’t a trade in this game, as its Fluctuating experience is a hassle later on. And while Thick Fat is the better defensive ability, you can have fun with Guts + Facade.
Magnemite/Magneton is really underrated, electric type attacks really start kicking in when you learn surf, by then you can immediately catch one of level 24/25. It hits like a truck, and you already went through the fire and fighting type gyms when you catch it.
@@nikolaoscharisopoulos4749 yeah i replayed the game and it was a beast with the moveset sword dance,shadow ball,aerial ace,slash and gave it a quick claw and it was amazing its my favourite pokemon now apart from sceptile and charlizard
My first pokemon game, emerald' s play through team Swampert:Surf, Ice beam, Earthquake and brick break Swellow: Fly, return, Aerial Ace and stell wing Aggron:Thunder, Surf ,Iron tail and Iron Defence Magnetric:Thunderbolt, Thunder Wave, Bite, Double Team Ninetales:Flametrower, Iron Tail, Confuse Ray, Double team Hariyama:Brick Break, Rock Tomb, Bulk Up and Facade Raquaza:Same moveset when obtainted but I removed Rest for crunch by Move reteacher for a heart scale in fallabor Town
Crobat honestly benefits a lot from its poison typing. It gives it a /4 resistance to all three types that flying matches up well against in exchange for one more weakness and gen six can destroy fairies. One of my fav pokes always improves a team
Good job on this team mystic. Though i have something to suggest to the few readers of these comments. If you want, yoi could replace sludge bomb with poison fang and if you want, remove toxic for an extra coverage move.
I didn't realize the champion was changed to Wallace in Emerald so I wasted time leveling a donphan only to realize he was completely useless for that fight :/
I often use Magneton as its dual typing Electric/Steel combined with its great special attack and good defenses makes it viable and you get it before the 6th gym and it walls most of the E4.
For the run through I did when I was younger: Swampert was the same except I gave him Brick Break instead of Strength (Fighting moves just cover SO much). He can go toe to toe with anything except a pokemon with a grass attack. Old reliable. I used Gardevoir instead of an electric type (can learn Thunderbolt so why not? Does the same thing) and has hypnosis (until you replace with elemental punches). Considering the alternatives also tend to be glass cannons this pokemon just eats through just about anything you put it up against. So even though psychic types aren't the best in this gen, the pure power of this thing means you can brute force your way through a lot. I used Cradily instead of Crobat (I just like that pokemon a lot) and it had toxic, confuse ray, ancient power and giga drain.. you can poison and eat up a lot of turns while giga drain can restore health and ancient power has more of a chance to up your stats the longer the fight goes on. As long as you don't put him out against something he is weak to he is surprisingly effective (especially against gym leaders that heal) I also used an Exploud as well, but I gave him Shadow ball (the go to to deal with any ghost type) and Brick Break since again it has sooo much coverage. I gave him Ice Beam and Thunderbolt to have something else to deal with Water types. He isn't the bulkiest pokemon, but the diversity of his move pool makes it hard to pass up. Eventually, I included Salamance (Crunch, Flamethrower, Fly, Brick Break). Odd choice not to give Salamance a Dragon move (even if it is STAB) but when you see my strategy below and what the team is built around it makes perfect sense. Lastly, I eventually put Metagross in the team (Earthquake, Brick Break, Shadow Ball, Psychic). He is an absolute monster and covers so many things. The whole team was built around having as many super effective attacks that have 100% accuracy (besides Toxic) against every type and covering weaknesses of my team well: Normal: No weaknesses, 4 that have super effective attacks against Fire: One with weakness (has move to counter), 3 that have super effective attacks against Water: No Weaknesses, 3 that have super effective attacks against Electric: No Weaknesses, 2 that have super effective attacks against Grass: One with 4x weakness (has move to counter), 3 that have super effective attacks against Ice: Two with weaknesses, (both have moves to counter) and another 4 that have super effective attacks against (EVERY member of team) Fighting: One Weakness, 3 that have super effective attacks against Poison: No Weakness, 3 that have super effective attacks against Ground: No Weaknesses, 4 that have super effective attacks against Flying: No Weaknesses, 4 that have super effective attacks against Psychic: No Weaknesses, 3 that have super effective attacks against Bug: One Weakness (has move to counter) and another 2 that have super effective attacks against Rock: One Weakness (has move to counter), and another 4 that have super effective attacks against Ghost: One Weakness, 3 that have super effective attacks against Dragon: One Weakness, 3 that have super effective attacks against (4 if counting dragon/fly) Dark: One Weakness, 4 that have super effective attacks against Steel: One Weakness, 5 that have super effective attacks against ... pretty good type coverage, eh? Not a typical way to build a team, but the only type I had more than one weakness against EVERY member of the team had a super effective move for. If you make the right switch it is almost impossible to lose in a play through, and you can take on many trainers even if they out level you. If you come up against something that wants to stall, Cradily will make their life a living hell, limiting their turns with toxic and making them waste turns dealing damage to themselves, and the more time they waste the more chance he has of increasing his stats with ancient power... which can level teams if he gets a few off (leftovers on him also helps considering he can heal by dealing damage with giga drain). I think the only thing he can't deal with that can stall well is a steel type (can't poison, his two damaging moves are not effective against, and has a weakness to steel), but EVERY other member of the team has super effective attacks to burn a steel type down (team is built around this weakness and having 2 members weak to ice). If you come up against something that wants to confuse/sleep/reduce accuracy etc. just switch out to something that out speeds it and hit it with a super effective attack. You have so much coverage with this set up you can do this effectively.
@@devilangel777 , glad it helped. Gardevoir is solid and even if psychic isn't the best type in this gen it can fill that much needed spot of something to deal with water types EASILY.
My hoenn team Breloom (physical attacker and type coverage) Altaria (Special attacker) Zigzagoon (pickup and HM) Pelliper (type coverage and HM) Combusken (Reliable starter) Wobbufet (HP counter boi)

@@anthonyt425 favouritism is not a crime. you allowed to like
Honestly, Gardevoir is too much of a glass cannon in Gen 3. Also, its type coverage is pretty minimal with its move pool. Never liked using it much, personally.
No need for a psychic poke really. Elite 4 is dark so bad ghost so risky ice so no real good use and dragon so no. Then either steel or water as champion no need even if you teach it shockwave I would rather have an electric type like magnetric
Zangoose is also an amazing choice if you have Ruby. With Swords Dance it kills basically anything in its path. Then give it three out of Brick Break, Aerial Ace, Shadow Ball and Return/Slash. It's TM reliant, but boy it wrecks absolutely everything. Just watch out for its frailty when setting up.
Do you think that’s a good replacement for expode?
Don't use Manectric against Metagross! In Gen III, steel resists dark, making bite only 1X damage!
Thanks, I was just about to do that till i saw your post, you actually saved me
Actually, neutral to Dark, since it is part Psychic.
@@shadowtitanx3962 1x damage is neutral damage
@@marcelo335 Same idea.
And it has earthquake which will probably one shot it
I disagree with this team. I agree with Swampert being the best starter, altho I personally love Blaziken. Crobat is good, altho not excellent, but Zubat is just a pain in the ass to evolve which makes it useless in the beginning. And its stats arent that powerful either. I would replace this one with Skarmory. Skarmory has a great attack and defense and is way better than Crobat.
I agree with Hariyama. A fighter in Hoenn is so important, especially in the Elite four.
Manectric is very good too, so no complaints about that.
Banette is okay, but you're gonna face problems in the elite four. Since ghost is super effective against ghost, and no way can Banette sweep through the whole team. This should be replaced by Absol. Yes I know, Dark is special in this gen and Absol doesnt have great Special attack. But teach this one Shadow Ball, Slash and swords dance and it can sweep through literally every team.
Exploud is just a generally bad pokemon, it doesnt stand out in any category, it is mediocre overall.
Swampert, Skarmory, Hariyama, Absol, Manectric are just a beast in gen 3.
For the last pokemon I would choose between Flygon and Gardevoir. Flygon would purpose as a mixed attacker, with Dragonclaw and Earthquake as Its main attacks. Gardevoir is very handy in the second gym, and, believe it or not, with Imprison and Psychic, you just have to kill Claydol and Solrock in the 7th gym, use imprison, and the other two pokemon literally cant touch you (since their pokemon only know psychic as its attacking move).
I've literally played emerald over 50 times, with so many different teams. Banette, Crobay and Exploud are just bad choices.
I am also a huge Pokémon Emerald fan and I agree. I would put Heracross and Absol as good alternatives as well, particularly with the Elite 4.
@@anthonyt425 Heracross is very good indeed, but I usually dont have the energy to catch it in the safari zone. But I agree, heracross is very good.
I will agree that Zubat is a pain to raise, but it's worth it when it finally evolves to Crobat. I got Crobat at just Level 25. Crobat actually has great stats. It's extremely fast, hits harder than Skarmory, and has decent bulk.
@@picklejuice7041 hmm.. I thought Skarmory had a 100 base attack but turns out I'm wrong. Crobat isnt a bad choice then, I just really dislike raising zubat. I think Flygon is a better option tho. Better stats overall, Dragon Claw, Earthquake, Crunch and Fly and is a very good combination. Altho Trapinch is also not fun to raise
Yeah I agree. The team he is presenting really isn’t great and certainly not the “best”. I know it’s an in-game team but putting HMs on your party members is just silly (other than surf of course)
I’ve played Emerald dozens of times and the favorite team I ever made was:
Blaziken (Blaze Kick, Sky Uppercut, Aerial Ace, Bulk Up)
Ludicolo (Surf, Ice Beam, Giga Drain, Leech Seed {egg move})
Slaking (Return, Brick Break, Hyper Beam, Yawn)
Lanturn (Waterfall, TBolt, TWave, Ice Beam)
Absol (Shadow Ball, Swords Dance, Slash, Iron Tail)
Flygon (Dragon Claw, Earthquake, Flamethrower, Crunch)
Dual water types is a little unorthodox but both their secondary types are nice and it’s easier to fit all the water HMs on the team. Running ice beam on both bc of Drake and it covers Lanturns grass weakness and Ludicolos flying weakness. Flygon & Gardevoir are certainly interchangeable. Going with flygon adds a bit of a challenge since you won’t get it until much later.
In my case, I would save the TM26 (Earthquake) because Swampert can learn Earthquake at level 52, maybe I'll give that for Hariyama or Exploud.
I think when swampert is level 52 you are probably already done with the game tho :(
@@SamzoLP not unless you intentionally over level a bit ;)
I beat the game with 3 pokes and the highest out of them was 50
@Nick Cruz it's actually really easy. I recently beat the game with my strongest pokemon being level 49.
True, but some people want to do this "Underleveled" rather than overleveled.

Recently did a sapphire run through and wound up with a Zangoose on my team. This guy ended up being the best in-game pokemon I've ever used. It's fast and has a high attack stat - and it learns Swords Dance at (around) level 17. Moveset I had on it was Swords Dance, Shadow Ball, Return, Brick Break. This guy ripped through the entire elite 4 after 2 Swords Dance boosts even though he was underleveled
Yeah, Zangoose is far better than Exploud and doesn't need to be trained 40 levels.
Eehhh? But u can’t get Zangoose on sapphire, cuz it’s a game exclusive pokemon, u can only get seviper in sapphire while u get zangoose in ruby
@@vincentsarmiento2682 i think in te same thing when i read it kdsjlasdjks

@@sacredex7136 Said noone ever.
Emerald was my first pokemon game and I've played through it multiple times. The team isn't half bad, since ive used every pokemon on this list at some point or another in gen 3 but here is what I would change
1. Skarmory- Hands down the best flying type available. Crobat deals decent damage but is taken down easily if it fails to KO. Basically Skar is more reliable
2. Banette is slow, which is why Absol would probably have been better. Shadow Ball coming off a base 125 attack stat after a swords dance boost makes up for lack of stab
3. Gardevoir does Manectric's job better, because calm mind. Also higher special bulk.
4.Slaking with Hyper Beam can cleave through anything.
Skarmory will make the main game too slow.
1. No it doesn't! Sure, 4 weaknesses as opposed to 2 but still has decent defenses, heck, Crobat has more sp. Def than Skarmory!
3. No electric stab and Manectric is good!
zubat is a pain to use at the start and skarmory is too late in the game for me, i used swellow but it ended up underleveled by the time i was battling the elite four (mainly bc i went thru a lot getting skarmory in my old incomplete emerald save file that i accidentally deleted and i wanted to get a flying type right away)
i think it was underleveled bc i overused my gardevoir against fighting types. gardevoir was literally unstoppable in my emerald playthrough and it proves that you don’t really need manectric if you have a gardevoir with thunderbolt (i use both metagross and ampharos for the postgame tho)
Agreed! I taught thunderbolt to my Gardevoir and it swept every team. Just need to level it up while I think manetric gets taken down too easily
Great Team, Black and White need a remastered if you have time
Tell me about it I feel like even with the team he recommended I still had a lot of trouble fighting Elisa and Clay.....especially his excadrill
@Nick Cruz skyla was a joke because archeops and vanillish
People sleep on my boy vanilluxe
I don't think is necessary to Remastered the Team from Black and White Team,the only thing i could see Mystic changing is replacing Cofagrigus with Leavanny,Leavanny is a great in - game offensive Pokémon that can fix The original Team Biggest flaw
a good counter against Clay and Grimsley ( Especially Krookodile )

A while back I picked up Emerald after only ever playing gen 1 and 2 when I was a youngling and I watched the original version of this to help me make a game plan. I ended up rejecting several of your old choices but the Exploud line was a wonderful surprise for its soundproof ability letting it shrugged off supersonics for days and later turning into a powerhouse!
2:30 "Swampert can turn the tide on..."
*This guy is good*
You get steel wing from Steven right after catching Zubat which makes it actually turn into a great team member before getting wing attack and evolving into Golbat/Crowbat, especially with how fast it is.
I’m happy to see Banette make an appearance I recently got one for my Emerald team and was surprised how useful it is due to the movepool.
"The TM for Ice beam is only avalable at the Mauville game Corner"
The TM13 in the Abandoned ship: *Cries in TM*
Yeah and you use it on swampert
"You can get the earthquake tm for Swampert!"
As if Swampert doesn't naturally learn earthquake.
well,in case you let swampert accidently forget Earthquake
@Nick Cruz If you're being sarcastic, it's really not that hard to reach. Especially since you don't get the tm until the 8th gym area.
@Nick Cruz My comment was in case you were being sarcastic. Since you weren't, disregard.
long le hoang well, in case you used all the heart scales already.
@@prismoth Even if all the heart scales are used, no problem. Just steal them from wild Luvdisc. Now, if you accidentally made your Pokemon forget Thief, Skitty can learn the move Covet.

Thx guys 🤩
Glad you are able to recognize Crobat and was way better than any other Flying type. My team is consisting of Swampert, Crobat, Gardevoir, Aggron, Flygon or Salamence, Hariyama or Machamp (If I have somone to trade.)
Slacking is better
Hyper beam if you kill switch and abuse the game mechanics
But some people like to play it on set mode for fun.
rishabh singh you right but can’t deny that power
You can't attack nor switch out when hyper beam recharges
Elaine Whitesel no when you kill the game says would you like to switch out so that’s how that works and chuggaaconroy did it
Wish there were some more honorable mentions/alternatives too! Anyway this is well made and well thought out, thank you :)
It’s so cool seeing how much you’ve grown as a content creator! Another great team, definitely improved from the original
Finally. Took months of request for this Remastered version and it finally happened!!
Edit: Finally! Crobat Gets Some Love from Mystic!!
I used a crobat on hgss because I just didn't wanna use fearow and it was very good for me just lacked a bit in defenses
@@thatonemcdonaldsemployee3506 Fun Fact: Crobat has the same defensive stats as Flygon.

Exploud Should Definitly Have Shadow Ball, Brick Break, Or Something Over F*cking Shock Wave... Lol
It Should Also Have Ice Beam Over Blizzard Too, And Maybe Flamethrower Over Fire Blast
You Can Also Put Earthquake On The Set
My Exploud when I ran it in Sapphire had Fire Blast, Shadow Ball, Ice Beam, and Brick Break. Totally agree!! Though, Return is tempting because of friendship and STAB making it strong.
My Exploud had Shadow Ball, Ice Beam, Shock Wave and Strength. It was pretty much the leader of the team.

You know, even with truant, Slaking still is good.
Also, I think you are making a little mistake. You (along with a lot of people) seem to be assuming that truant was given because Slaking has too high stats... but what if it was the opposite? Because Slaking needed truant they had to give it an extremely high attack power just to make it viable.
Remember, "abilities" are often just natural states the Pokemon have rather than being real powers.
Also, you can abuse the Hyper Beam strat with Slaking. Kill something that's not Rock, Steel, or Ghost type with Hyper Beam. And, by using Shift Battle Style, you can get a free switch without having to do both Truant and Recharge Turn.
Emile used that strat in his Emerald Let's play.
I agree here
Slaking is great in casual gen 3
It's like the ultimate 1 shot and switch mon.
Also helped by the fact using items counts for your truant turn in these games.
So you can attack, then heal or use an x item, and attack again, if necessary. But you'll probably just be going with hyper beam all the time.
uh you know slaking isnt viable right lol. its godlike stats don't even help it get out of the worst tier.
@@Nick-zj6dm Maybe in competitive... but the majority don't play competitive. And it's not uncommon for people to use Pokemon that are far worse.
Angry Kea
Yeah, Slaking is weak in comp, but the shift mechanic in regular gameplay makes a huge difference.
In a comp battle, you’d have to manually switch after every attack, which makes Slaking a huge liability. In game, you OHKO most things that don’t resist hyper beam since they don’t have EVs, and you switch out for free, so slaking’s weakness is hardly apparant. For RSE gameplay, I’d personally prefer Slaking to exploud, but the caveat is slakoth is still frustrating to evolve.
Incidentally, a slaking team did at one point manage to peak 3rd in a gen 6 OU suspect test ladder.That team used banded adamant slaking, since the only thing Slaking had going for it was being able to OHKO more walls than Mega Medicham. It is fairly awkward to use and takes a lot of team building to not be completely useless, but it was cool seeing Slaking do something in OU, even though obviously it’s not the most optimal strat.
Obviously, that doesn’t change the fact that even in ZU (the tier below smogon’s lowest official tier), Slaking is only a C tier mon and you’d be better off using Komala in ZU.
You guys had teams?
I spammed Leaf Blade all the way through
Lol.
@@uFake just overlevel your starter
I started emerald and I have a makuhita marshtomp electrike ralts
Same I have now a level 100 sceptile and my other Pokémon level 50

1: Swarmpert
2:Gardivor
3:Breloom (switched with Arnaldo)
4: Exploud
5:Latios(yes I played oras)
6: magneton
This bring back memories when I beat Emerald with Exploud and an Swampert
Exploud finally getting the recognition he deserves. Solid Nornal type is always welcomed.
Same for Banette. One of the best Ghost types, especially in gen 3 with the physical/special split.
DUDE, BANETTE IS MY FAVORITE, IM SO GLAD HE'S ON THIS TEAM!
F*** banette, bland looking pile of poop
Yeah dusclops is better
@@alfiejones1036 Dude fuck your profile picture, it's just a A on a purple backround what a pile of poo
@@antyripper1231 pfffff 😂
This is really going to help me go through the game in emerald
I would personally add shadow ball to exploud's move pool because normal types are resistant to ghost, thus creating a good counter.
(Banette also learns shadow ball via level up so you don't need the TM for that)
*immune
My version of the team:
Swampert @ Mystic Water
Ability: Torrent
- Surf
- Earthquake
- Ice Beam
- Brick Break
The starter. No need to explain the starter choice. Brick Break can be replaced with Waterfall, i just think more coverage is better here. You recieve the Mystic Water alongside the Castform on the weather institute. Don't use the Earthquake TM on Swampert, he learns it via level up.
Gardevoir
Ability: Synchronize
- Psychic
- Calm Mind
- Thunderbolt
- Magical Leaf
Alakazam is better, but i'm going with the non trade evo alternative here. There's not much you can change on the moveset.
Breloom @ Miracle Seed
Ability: Effect Spore
- Giga Drain
- Sky Uppercut
- Mach Punch
- Leech Seed
Even though grass types are special in this gen, Breloom still an amazing choice. Brick Break is better than Sky Uppercut, but the Brick Break TM is already on Swampert. Make sure you get the Miracle seed in the Petalbug Woods.
Crobat
Ability: Inner Focus
- Aerial Ace
- Sludge Bomb
- Steel Wing
- Fly
The best Flying type this region has to offer. Make sure you get the Soothe Bell in Slateport. Not much else to say about this guy.
Flygon @ Soft Sand
Ability: Levitate
- Dragon Claw
- Earthquake
- Crunch
- Flamethrower
Can be kinda tricky to level up, but the end result is worth it. You can use Flygon to fly and switch Crobat for another pokemon if you want, i just rly love Crobat.
Magneton @ Magnet
Ability: Sturdy
- Thunderbolt
- Thunder Wave
- Tri Attack
- Flash
Much better than Manectric. There's not much else you can use in the moveset though. Make sure you grab the magnet on the trick master's house after you beat the final gym.
Swampert, Gardevoir, Hariama, Skarmory, Absol, Torkoal
Honestly one of my favorite teams because of the Pokemon used and times whited out
For me personally i whited out 0 times but came close a few times due to lazy mistakes and also playing at 4 am with no sleep
Thank you for making this video. I was asking for so long. Love this video and rest of your video
YAAAAAAAAAAAAAS, MY BABY BANETTE.
Also maybe switch Secret Power with Return for the extra power. Max friendship Return has a base 102 power while Secret Power has 70 and I don't think the chance for status effects make up for that.
Edit: You can get 2 Return TMs. The one in Fallarbor Town and one in Pacifidlog Town when you show an old man a Pokémon with high friendship.
Love it, I was happy to see my Crobat already looked exactly the same already, but not sure if i can get behind rock smash and rock tomb on hariyama. In this gen rock tomb is 80% accuracy and only 50 power. Even if it lowers speed, it's just not worth it with such a low power and a 20% miss chance. Same with rock smash. 20 power is a joke even if it can lower defense. They later buffed both of these moves but in gen 3 they are pretty useless imo
Rock Tomb is still gonna hit hard regardless because its coming from a Pokemon with a base 120 Attack stat. And Rock Smash is just there because its necessary, and Hariyama doesn't have much coverage, so why not?
@@jordanhn6230 Because it's garbage... Just put it on some hm pal loaded with strength, rock smash, flash if you can maybe teleport or dig for utility. Deposit it when you don't need it have another hm pal for waterfall and whirlpool and cut if doable and you're good. Way better to have four awesome pokemon ev trained and all and 2 hm pals.
Please do 1 for blaizeken and sceptile for the original game
He made them
The rapid facts you needed to read off on your script paired with your video’s editing make this both super helpful and also a lot to take in.
I’m seeing you flash the teams Swampert is good against and to float the pictures on the screen along with the info being formatted the same way is a really nice addition to the information being provided
Thank you
Considering he said grass types are not good in Hoenn region, then a minute later praised Manectric as being amazing in Hoenn because all the water types im starting to think he has no idea what he is talking about, another example is he has Manectric using a dark type to beat a Metagross which in gen 3 steel resists dark types...
love how he just ignores the existence of swablu when he talks about why crobat is the best flying type.
For Hariyama, MysticUmbreon is definitely right about Bulk Up, it helped me a bunch against Norman in my Ruby play through; after 3 Bulk Up’s, I swept through his entire team.
First yay finally remastered I've been waiting so long
Same
Same
Ikr
I'm still playing emerald... Love the old school one
for crobat, xchange giga drain for confuse ray. fly + toxic + confuse ray = stall
Unless you have my luck they just never hit themselves TvT
But on the other hand giga drain is a better stall since u survive more
I used a Cacturne instead of Exploud, and it was awesome! Faint Attack for Ghost types, Giga Drain/Needle Arm for more Rock and Water Coverage, Pin Missile against Psychic, and Strength
Gen 3 remastered.
Move Costs Remastered!
Psychic... 3500 Coins (optional at worst)
Ice Beam... 4000 Coins (and completely optional to the point of being unnecessary)
Blizzard... 5500 Poké
Fire Blast... 5500 Poké
So... 11000 Poké if you’re amazingly patient for certain moves. Add 70000 Poké for Psychic TM early. Add another 70000 Poké for Ice Beam Early, or if choosing over Blizzard, you just need to add 64500 instead, bringing the highest total to...
151000 Poké for full money invested in early access.
Good luck!!!
Money is easy this generation. If you zone in and out of the areas by pettleberg woods and keep talking to the lady and rich boys with zigzagoon and us amulate coin money piles up
Chris Pole true. But 151K is a worst case scenario.
Gabby & Ty constant battles. Amulet coin, stronk Swampert with earthquake and Crobat to avoid said Earthquake. Money problem solved
Pendazarey Rodriguez over leveled as crap and that’s more late game than you think.
So what's the issue here? Play up to the 6th badge and continue training with gabby and ty because all you need is fly to get to all three routes that they are on. If you're patient enough, your money will add up over time, so you can hit up the game corner as many times as you want. But I get that some people don't take this route because it's too slow or not fun for them
It would be more interesting if you included valuable team members for the battle frontier !!! Nice vid !
As good as Swampert itself is, I've always preferred the teams I can build around Blaziken and Sceptile more.
Sceptile is the best Grass type in RSE bar none, so I can slot in Camerupt and Starmie for a full Fire/Water/Grass core, then fill in the rest with Crobat/Swellow, Manectric/Magneton, and then Hariyama/Heracross.
Blaziken gets both Fire/Fighting, and if you grew up on Sapphire or Emerald, you get Ludicolo, which covers Fire/Water/Grass with just two Pokemon. From there, I can slot in Crobat/Swellow, Manectric/Magneton, Flygon/Donphan, and Gardevoir.
My team contained some of the best Pokemon in hoenn
Swampert(Splashyy)
Aggron(Scar)
Gardievor(Korai)
Exploud(Badshah)
Flygon(Zedaph)
Salemance(Impulse)
I love this team this sweeps even toughest of the Pokemon
Oh boy salemance takes forever to evolve but finally I got him!
It's worth it
Gardevoir with the ability trace:
Pokemon with an amazing ability: I can be ur angel
Slaking: or I can be ur devil
Gardevoir is loafing around!!!!
Edit: HOLY that's a lot of likes.
Lol
This thing is really annoying
In oras, outside Dewford cave there was this trainer with a slakoth. I was using a ralts with trace and mashing the a button while doing something else, and wondering why I took 5 minutes on that bloody battle.
Lol that’s tough
Nice.
So, HELPFUL! THANK YOU!
"Hariyama is best fighting type on Hoenn"
Blaziken: Am I joke to you?
Loki well he’s going off of the idea that you’re following this list so picking swampert will yield blaziken unusable for the play through unless traded.
Breloom: Am I a joke to you?
@@herbertortiz9159 Yes, it is a joke. If your reason of using Breloom is for type coverage, Manectric or Gardevoir with Thunderbolt is good for the Water-types and Swampert already can take care of Rock and Ground types and Breloom is 4x effective against Flying. Plus Breloom's stats is mediocre.
@@aquaninja1903 Breloom stats aren't any worse than Hariyama. Breloom has generally better moves, an actual Speed stat, comparable offenses, and the x4 weakness to Flying doesn't really matter if you have a good tank on your team like Aron/Lairon, Skarmory, or even Geodude to switch into. Not to mention that Hoenn's endgame, no matter which version you play, is so chock full of Water-types that it doesn't hurt to have more than once check for them, especially if you're playing Emerald since Barboach and Whiscash -- whom are both immune to Electric -- are more common on enemies in that game. Hariyama can at least do some interesting Fake Out strategies on Norman's Slaking, but Dustox and Pelipper can do just as well if not a little better with Protect strats either.
I completed Pokemon Emerald for the first time yesterday with not much knowledge on what Pokemon are good or bad, this was my team;
-Aggron: I thought he looked cool and I've never used a steel type before
[Metal claw, Metal Sound, Mud slap, Earthquake]
-Flygon: Wanted to see what Trapinch evolved into and was pleasantly surprised
[Crunch, fly, dig, Dragon claw]
-Absol: It looked unique and strong
[Thunderbolt, Shadow ball, Double Team, Future sight]
-Kecleon: It's ability gimmick interested me
[Brick break, Ice beam, Aerial ace, skill swap]
-Mannetric: Was planning on switching it out when I found a better electric type but never did
[Spark, thunder wave, flash, strength]
-Millotic: I heard about feebas from Pokemon GO and wanted to try my luck at finding one, then got fully invested till I found and evolved it
[Surf, dive, waterfall, recover]
I also had a Dustox and a Hariyama for the majority of the game till I made some switches. Gonna play Fire Red now
Watch out with Metagross! In this Gen steel resists both dark and ghost types. So don't use Manectric's bite on it!
Also, I'd change Exploud moveset
IKR, I used Flamethrower instead because it also helped out against shiftry.
Just get rid of exploud entirely. Garbage pokemon. It's going to be a whisper/loudred most of the game and suck the entire time.
What moveset would you use
I had a few modifications from your team.
I used Swampert breloom exploud alakazam manectric and skarmory. And they were an awesome team!
Hey Mystic
I used the previous best hoenn team and it just destroyed hoenn
Especially Slaking(it one shot even in the elite 4)
It was a very good team
But this team is also good😄
Credit to you for trying two Pokémon I wouldn’t have originally considered: Banette and Exploud. With your move set, I can see why you chose them. I would have elected Gardevoir, but that would mean taking away Thunderbolt from Manectric. Plus, STAB Electric is more important in these games than STAB Psychic.
I suppose I also understand not picking Slaking. Truant is annoying, it’s in the Slow experience group, and it would need both Brick Break and Shadow Ball for coverage, plus Return and the Earthquake TM (I just let Swampert learn it naturally).
It’s just a pity that Hariyama isn’t a trade in this game, as its Fluctuating experience is a hassle later on. And while Thick Fat is the better defensive ability, you can have fun with Guts + Facade.
Banette has always been one of my favs and I feel it’s under appreciated , glad to see it here !
Magnemite/Magneton is really underrated, electric type attacks really start kicking in when you learn surf, by then you can immediately catch one of level 24/25. It hits like a truck, and you already went through the fire and fighting type gyms when you catch it.
Legends choose their Pokemons by their looks 😎
Thats why absol is my favourite Pokémon!

@@nikolaoscharisopoulos4749 yeah i replayed the game and it was a beast with the moveset sword dance,shadow ball,aerial ace,slash and gave it a quick claw and it was amazing its my favourite pokemon now apart from sceptile and charlizard
My first pokemon game, emerald' s play through team
Swampert:Surf, Ice beam, Earthquake and brick break
Swellow: Fly, return, Aerial Ace and stell wing
Aggron:Thunder, Surf ,Iron tail and Iron Defence
Magnetric:Thunderbolt, Thunder Wave, Bite, Double Team
Ninetales:Flametrower, Iron Tail, Confuse Ray, Double team
Hariyama:Brick Break, Rock Tomb, Bulk Up and Facade
Raquaza:Same moveset when obtainted but I removed Rest for crunch by Move reteacher for a heart scale in fallabor Town
Crobat honestly benefits a lot from its poison typing. It gives it a /4 resistance to all three types that flying matches up well against in exchange for one more weakness and gen six can destroy fairies. One of my fav pokes always improves a team
Gen 3 onwards crobat is a menace
Good job on this team mystic. Though i have something to suggest to the few readers of these comments. If you want, yoi could replace sludge bomb with poison fang and if you want, remove toxic for an extra coverage move.
Zangoose with attack IV and EVs, with Shadow ball, double team, swords dance, and Slash
Ultimte glass cannon
Yeah no
Favorite doesn't mean best
Blazakin has the highest ceiling it's so much fun to bulk up and sweep with sky uppercut and return.
I didn't realize the champion was changed to Wallace in Emerald so I wasted time leveling a donphan only to realize he was completely useless for that fight :/
LOL
Actually post game you can fight Steven but you would need too be as strong as like late level 60s or early 70s levels
I’m an old timer and just started playing emerald kaizo..my first experience of Pokémon past gen 2. It’s so hard but awesome hahah.
I just recently found out that beautifly has some good stats and moveset
Paired with modest nature
It's so true best natures for it are modest and timid.
I often use Magneton as its dual typing Electric/Steel combined with its great special attack and good defenses makes it viable and you get it before the 6th gym and it walls most of the E4.
this script feels like a high school presentation
For the run through I did when I was younger:
Swampert was the same except I gave him Brick Break instead of Strength (Fighting moves just cover SO much). He can go toe to toe with anything except a pokemon with a grass attack. Old reliable.
I used Gardevoir instead of an electric type (can learn Thunderbolt so why not? Does the same thing) and has hypnosis (until you replace with elemental punches). Considering the alternatives also tend to be glass cannons this pokemon just eats through just about anything you put it up against. So even though psychic types aren't the best in this gen, the pure power of this thing means you can brute force your way through a lot.
I used Cradily instead of Crobat (I just like that pokemon a lot) and it had toxic, confuse ray, ancient power and giga drain.. you can poison and eat up a lot of turns while giga drain can restore health and ancient power has more of a chance to up your stats the longer the fight goes on. As long as you don't put him out against something he is weak to he is surprisingly effective (especially against gym leaders that heal)
I also used an Exploud as well, but I gave him Shadow ball (the go to to deal with any ghost type) and Brick Break since again it has sooo much coverage. I gave him Ice Beam and Thunderbolt to have something else to deal with Water types. He isn't the bulkiest pokemon, but the diversity of his move pool makes it hard to pass up.
Eventually, I included Salamance (Crunch, Flamethrower, Fly, Brick Break). Odd choice not to give Salamance a Dragon move (even if it is STAB) but when you see my strategy below and what the team is built around it makes perfect sense.
Lastly, I eventually put Metagross in the team (Earthquake, Brick Break, Shadow Ball, Psychic). He is an absolute monster and covers so many things.
The whole team was built around having as many super effective attacks that have 100% accuracy (besides Toxic) against every type and covering weaknesses of my team well:
Normal: No weaknesses, 4 that have super effective attacks against
Fire: One with weakness (has move to counter), 3 that have super effective attacks against
Water: No Weaknesses, 3 that have super effective attacks against
Electric: No Weaknesses, 2 that have super effective attacks against
Grass: One with 4x weakness (has move to counter), 3 that have super effective attacks against
Ice: Two with weaknesses, (both have moves to counter) and another 4 that have super effective attacks against (EVERY member of team)
Fighting: One Weakness, 3 that have super effective attacks against
Poison: No Weakness, 3 that have super effective attacks against
Ground: No Weaknesses, 4 that have super effective attacks against
Flying: No Weaknesses, 4 that have super effective attacks against
Psychic: No Weaknesses, 3 that have super effective attacks against
Bug: One Weakness (has move to counter) and another 2 that have super effective attacks against
Rock: One Weakness (has move to counter), and another 4 that have super effective attacks against
Ghost: One Weakness, 3 that have super effective attacks against
Dragon: One Weakness, 3 that have super effective attacks against (4 if counting dragon/fly)
Dark: One Weakness, 4 that have super effective attacks against
Steel: One Weakness, 5 that have super effective attacks against
... pretty good type coverage, eh? Not a typical way to build a team, but the only type I had more than one weakness against EVERY member of the team had a super effective move for. If you make the right switch it is almost impossible to lose in a play through, and you can take on many trainers even if they out level you. If you come up against something that wants to stall, Cradily will make their life a living hell, limiting their turns with toxic and making them waste turns dealing damage to themselves, and the more time they waste the more chance he has of increasing his stats with ancient power... which can level teams if he gets a few off (leftovers on him also helps considering he can heal by dealing damage with giga drain).
I think the only thing he can't deal with that can stall well is a steel type (can't poison, his two damaging moves are not effective against, and has a weakness to steel), but EVERY other member of the team has super effective attacks to burn a steel type down (team is built around this weakness and having 2 members weak to ice). If you come up against something that wants to confuse/sleep/reduce accuracy etc. just switch out to something that out speeds it and hit it with a super effective attack. You have so much coverage with this set up you can do this effectively.
Holy hell thTs. Lot of letters
@@snaix2856 , it's a good strat though... look at that type coverage.
I only really chose one Pokemon to level up, and I chose either zangoose or my starter. Just because it's easier
Thanks. I want a team with Gardevoir on it. I'm playing emerald for the first time.
@@devilangel777 , glad it helped. Gardevoir is solid and even if psychic isn't the best type in this gen it can fill that much needed spot of something to deal with water types EASILY.
I still believe that slaking is better in the old gen 3 games just because of hyper beam
My hoenn team
Breloom (physical attacker and type coverage)
Altaria (Special attacker)
Zigzagoon (pickup and HM)
Pelliper (type coverage and HM)
Combusken (Reliable starter)
Wobbufet (HP counter boi)
Teams for Sceptile & Blaziken for R/S/E? 🤔
I respect that but fire types suck in Hoenn plus Houndoom is late game I'm pretty sure lol
