I've always loved Banette so I decided to use one on this team! I have one question though. Surf is because I was too lazy keep switching Pokmon so I had a different Surf-er, whereas, if you are patient enough, Superpower just gives him a little more coverage. - Surf - Fly. P.S. - Dig Item: Silk Scarf You can also take on Winona with Stone Edge, but it is not recommended. You make a Pokemon stronger and get Gallade much earlier at the same time! Stone Edge: Lilycove Department Store 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. Wally (Walrein) @ Never-Melt Ice - Waterfall Great speed, but sadly only great thing about it. - Double-Edge. For its moves, Night Slash is STAB, and Psycho Cut is coverage on Fighting types. For its moves, Earthquake is its main STAB. Pyre) / Infestation (TM83 - Sootopolis City) / Toxic (TM06 - Fiery Path), Shadow Sneak (Level 7 - May require Move Reminder), Aerial Ace (TM40 - Mauville City Pokmart). Team Preview: Ability: Trace Sub-par Attack at base 85 and very bad defenses. There are some strategies used in a Nuzlocke that arent necessarily helpful in a casual run, like equipping specific berries. before Flannery, not enough coverage, id replace delcatty with a linnone hm slave and mightyana with garnavor with movesets of. - Rock Smash (HM) if you want to change a move be. I didn't have any items left so I just gave her a Pecha Berry. Kiwi (Dodrio) @ King's Rock - Dragon Pulse / Dive. That's really it. Manectric's moveset is very simple, consisting of only one STAB and coverage. Shadow Ball: Mt Pyre, the giant casket room with the Medichamite This is a good team but could I use swampert instead Of skeptile and replace gyrados with breloom. - Earthquake - Thunderbolt Ability: Levitate Manectric Crunch is very helpful against Ghost types, as the team doesnt have any Pokmon with STAB Dark or Ghost moves. Ice Punch is a move tutor move, and the move tutors are only at the end of the game. Shadow Ball covers against Ghost and other Psychics. Ability: Intimidate - Surf. replace Iron Tail for Iron Head, accuracy over power is better than power over accuracy as Iron Head is strong enough STAB for Aggron to use and its does not have that 25% chance of missing. - Fake Out / Focus Blast, Jolteon @ Air Balloon Swampert | BW | Smogon Strategy Pokedex It also creates free turns for Mega Swampert with its slow U-turn and by baiting in Electric-types such as Zapdos and Tapu Koko. - Cut - Leech Life (starting move) > Wing Attack (Level 13) > Acrobatics (Level 35) - Waterfall (HM). Can deal with Psychics with Dark Pulse and X-Scissor. Ability: Natural Cure > Pixilate Swampert @ Soft Sand - Earthquake (TM) / Stone Edge (TM). Then give it the power bracer and you have the most OP azumarill in existence. - Psycho Cut I just got her in Victory Road and after a little bit of training, she evolved. So we have our first special attacker! - Roost. - Thunderbolt Strength and Cut are half-STAB, half-HM (more on Surf later), Rock Smash is an HM and is also great for Heart Scale farming, and Shadow Claw does good damage to the Ghosts that Linoone doesn't like. The battle should be over in one or two turns. Ability: Rock Head - Acupressure. This is much more reliable than gambling on random encounters, and its often a large timesaver. -Moonblast - Iron Head. I have finished the game twice and now I'm doing it again. - Dragon Claw Swampert - Pokemon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire Wiki Guide - IGN Good "All-Around" Team? - Pokemon Alpha Sapphire - GameSpot That's a lot of TMs. Banette @ Banettite Swampert | SM | Smogon Strategy Pokedex Ability: Pickup Seviper @ anything He destroys everything. However, Sidney has two Grass types on his team, so be cautious. The last move is a variety of coverage moves. Ability: Early Bird - Steel Wing, Item: anything The Flash Fire ability is underrated, but if you can pick up Drought do so. When theres a particularly annoying Pokemon that I don't want to waste one of my key troops on, I roll out Ninetales to hand out some super-effective mojo. - Earthquake - Overheat Shadow Ball and Thunderbolt or Energy Ball are coverage, or you can use Calm Mind to set up. Aggron @ Assault Vest 2) Mega Evolution Speed Boost allow me to outspeed many high-levelled Pokemon. Very fast, with high Special Attack but low defenses. Leaf Blade/Thunderbolt. Ability: Rock Head Before you ask why I have two Megas on this team, I Mega Evolve a different one depending on the situation. Swmapert can also be an HM slave. Especially Stone Edge. - Rock Smash - Moonblast Gardevoir @ Gardevoirite - Shadow Ball - False Swipe / Swords Dance - Rock Slide / Hidden Power [Water]. but they are not necessary. Hariyama @ Silk Scarf - Moonlight Vivi (Aggron) @ Lucky Egg - Earthquake. Swampert's favorite teammates include defensive Roserade, as it 4x resists Grass-type attacks and can set up Spikes that make Swampert a pain to switch into; Rhyperior, for setting up Stealth Rock and defeating Flying-type Pokemon reliably; and Flying-type Pokemon, such as Togekiss and Zapdos, to take Grass-type hits and build momentum for - Crunch - Cut I won't list the locations of the HM's since they're needed to complete the game anyway. Ability: Overgrow (Mega Sceptile: Lightning Rod) - Double Hit Ability: Sand Veil Swords Dance: Good for setting up. - Spikes, Magnezone Supersalamence93 here bringing you another Pokemon Team builder. - Needle Arm - Rock Slide / Aerial Ace / Shadow Claw. Sceptile @ Sceptilite - Solar Beam Set up 3 Dragon Dances on either the Claydol or Cradily, healing as needed, and freely sweep the rest of Stevens team. - Strength Second of all I have some changes you can make. Gardevoir @ anything Same with Earthquake. Swampert is a Water & Ground Pokmon which evolves from Marshtomp. Actually camperupt has 5 more SpAttack than Attack. Please follow these guidelines regarding detail in your post:. Stone Edge- Great power. Magical Leaf comes in handy against Water/Ground types that Manectric can't touch, as well as Rock/Ground types. Gardevoir is a great Pokemon in Gen 6 becuase of its new Fairy typing. Swampert is a good defensive Pokemon, boasting key resistances to common attacking types such as Rock, Electric, Steel, Fire, and Poison-types. An awesome tank that can take physical hits very well. I also used a Metagross, but you can't get that easily anymore. Linoone @ any item Dollface (Banette) @ Banettite "use it when you get it." - Surf - Flamethrower Sceptile @ Sceptilite - Waterfall Earthquake is through Heart Scale as well! You can teach Manectric Thunder Wave if you don't get the Hidden Power type you want, or for when you are about to catch a Legendary Pokmon. Both evolutions' respective STABs are accounted for, and they both have coverage against Ghosts. The moves give the best coverage he can have. Roserade @ Miracle Seed Shadow Sneak: Priority STAB. Dragon Claw: Meteor Falls, in the WAY WAY back (requires Surf and Waterfall) Hammer Arm for coverage and Ice Punch takes care of the 4x Grass weakness. - Cross Poison Shadow Ball/Dazzling Gleam/Grass Whistle. 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. - Rock Slide / Stone Edge. Overall, just my favorite of the starters. Hey sumwun. Omega Ruby. Surf is needed quite a bit, but Dive and Waterfall really aren't, so they can safely be switched for one another at any given time. Items are only examples and Abilities are only recommended. - Leaf Storm / Leaf Blade Blaze Kick was Blaziken's signature move and it's an all-around great Fire STAB. The other HM Slave of the team, your game's respective Lati Twin. - Surf - Dragon Claw Best Team for Hoenn ft. Zeldawars - YouTube Stealth Rock. - Dazzling Gleam / Moonblast Froslass @ Expert Belt / Wise Glasses Surf is excellent on Sharpedo, as it moves twice as fast when surfing and Dive allows you to dive underwater and explore beneath the sea. Aerial Ace for Fighting types. Switch training Ralts may be necessary for a while, as its too weak to deal with Poochyena and Zigzagoon (even with Confusion). It was replaced with Shadow Ball once Wallace was defeated. Brick Breaks primary use is to break the screens that Glacias Glalie #1 and Stevens Claydol set up, should it be necessary. - Steel Wing. 2. About "Swampert is very strong. Close Combat: Powerful STAB move - Thunderbolt. Ability: Thick Fat TM Ice Beam: Sea Mauville I'm too lazy to put all the locations for the Pokmon, items and TM moves, so you can just go and look it up on the DB or somethingidk. Anyway, both evolutions are fantastic. Hariyama destroys the Elite 4, being good against Sidney, Phoebe and Steven. - Fly If Absol has Super Luck, your Night Slashes and Psycho Cuts will most likely crit. I would recommend Protean as it gives him STAB on every attack, but Colour Change is still useful in a lot of cases. - Metal Sound. Ralts can be obtained in a horde encounter on Route 104. - High Jump Kick / Sky Uppercut Why not? Hariyama I'm going to post a team for Swampert here, as I beat the whole story mode in two days and never died once. - Return - Growl (starting move) > Mud Shot (Level 16) > Brick Break (TM31 - Sootopolis City). 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. Sidney: Give Gardevoir a Persim Berry and send it in against Mightyena to block Swagger and safely KO with Dazzling Gleam. With this set, you can cover all of his weaknesses other than Fighting, but then again, Gardevoir handles them easily. Pyre), Will-O-Wisp (TM61 - Mt. Type disadvantage is an issue with Fire types but you can change one move to Earthquake or use Aggron with Surf. Swampert is the HM slave, but he has powerful enough moves that he can get you out of sticky situations as well. - Shadow Ball - Bite (starting move) > X-Scissor (TM80 - Victory Road) Sceptile - Grass (Mega Sceptile - Grass/Dragon) - Volt Switch (TM) As said, Crobat is another option, but on this team it shares a Psychic weakness with Tentacruel, who you can always replace with Sharpedo. - Rock Slide / Stone Edge / Facade / Dive. Bulk Up wasnt particularly useful at any point during the game, so the extra power Close Combat provided is generally the better idea. - Nuzzle - Waterfall - Earthquake - Crunch Ability: Static Treecko overall has pretty good stats, including great Special Attack and Speed and solid Attack, which are great combined with Sceptile's large movepool. Rock Smash: HM. Ability: Sturdy If you want to surf faster, use Sharpedo instead. Manectric @ Manectite 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. - Shadow Claw - Wake-Up Slap - Thunderbolt / Thunder TM Thunderbolt: Mauville City (help Wattson clean up New Mauville) Because it is.) If you choose not to evolve your Magneton and just give him the Eviolite from Route 123, he has less HP and less in both Attacks than Magnezone, but every other stat gets better. - Thunderbolt - Thunderbolt When navigating around tight bends, where if you go too fast you'll end up on the shore, that is when having a normal speed surfer pays off. Moveset. Rock Slide / Aerial Ace / Shadow Claw: Rock Slide to help with the Flying weakness early on in the game. Acrobatics is deadly when not holding an item. I know, I know, no Pokmon has Fly, Dive, Strength or Rock Smash and that's because I just waited to get the Eon Flute before doing any Flying and the rest was just me switching out random HM Slaves and other Pokmon to do what was necessary. (Did I ever mention that Intimidate is a fantastic ability? The Soothe Bell should be used until Golbat evolves, after which point Acrobatics is more effective with no item. Swampert @ Swampertite Wallace: Set up a Calm Mind or two on Luvdisc with Gardevoir, then use Magical Leaf to cleave through it and Whiscash. Getting Protean was one of the things I was actually patient enough for. Swampert @Swampertite/Whatever else you'd like Ability: Flash Fire Ability: Pickup Ice Beam and Flamethrower are fairly late in the game, but you could wait or substitute with another move of your choice. - Shadow Ball - Water Pulse / Thunder Magnezone @ Magnet - Protect. U-turn is an option, but in-game you can switch when you need to. Swampert Golem Alakzam LIoone Camerupt Tropius Manectric Latios Delcatty maybe there was a Vileplume too to be completely honest i don't remember my ORAS team that well the only members that were consistent was Swampert, Camerupt, and Latios the rest is just anyone else that may have passed in or out of the team for a significant amount of time before the elite 4 Every team needs that tank that makes everyone mad when it endures everything you throw at it. Quick Attack for priority and Thunderbolt is STAB. - Dive, I had to make him into a HM slave since I didn't have any other team members that could learn the Water HM's and I didn't wanna get rid of a team member to have an HM slave. - Earthquake Fake Out / Rock Slide / Power-Up Punch: Fake Out for some damage, Rock Slide helps against Flying types and Power-Up Punch is STAB that raises Attack. - Strength They're pointless in-game. Otherwise use Blaze Kick and Sky Uppercut, which you learn by levelling up. - Boomburst Plus, he has a Mega Evolution and an Electric type immunity. Heragross is a very good physical sweeper with an interesting typing that cancels out some weaknesses. Also, I must respectfully disagree with you on Aggron and Surf. - Energy Ball Earthquake, Fly, and Dragon Claw are self-explanatory, and from there, pick an item and your choice of Ice coverage, and you're set! If you want Protean, catch the required Kecleon so you can DexNav for a Protean Kecleon. Medicham @ Medichamite - Quick Attack (starting move). A Mega Evolution is what it needs ;~; Sharpedo @ Sharpedonite Absol has a super high Attack stat and good Speed. - Shadow Ball - Flash Canon Hypnosis- Puts enemy to sleep. Jolteon and Raichu are both amazing, but it can be a little hard to find a Thunder Stone, so another option is Manectric. Any good alternatives to moonblast? Grass Knot covers Ground types. - U-turn. He has amazing Special Defence and good Attack, and a pretty great movepool. You can include items, abilities, etc. Gardevoir - Psychic/Fairy Stopping the new Fairies in their tracks doesn't hurt either. Share Playthrough), Sceptile @ Sceptilite (I SR'd for a Shiny - it was worth it lol) - Hammer Arm - Flamethrower If you're worried about Earthquake, you can use Magnet Rise as your final move, or either Reflect or Light Screen if you're not too fussed about it. - Shadow Claw. - Flamethrower [emailprotected] @Mega Stone/Filler You're going to need an Electric type. U don;t have to lug it arround, just have it sit in that PC box of yours until you need it. Ability: Static / Lightning Rod Ability: Inner Focus - Mud-Slap (Level 9) > Dig (TM28 - Route 114) > Earthquake (TM26 - Seafloor Cavern) - Psychic If you want, you can replace Tentacruel with Sharpedo, but it does have shoddy defences and it's rather lack luster without Speed Boost. - Yawn / Earthquake After clearing four Gyms in a row with no new members, we head to 111 and catch a Trapinch! Ability: Torrent > Swift Swim
