thx.

Go to "Your Conrol Panel" & click on "avatar". Now click "browse" & find what pic you want as your avvy from your "My Pictures" folder or whatever folder you keep your pictures in.

if you're new to pokemon advance, check the pokemon advanced trainer's guide on how to build a reasonably good team first. If you manage to survive all those long paragraphs, you'll learn a lot about how the pokemon game functions in terms of team building.

But for someone who's an alien to RS, this looks rather promising for you to be a very good player in the future ^_^

[latios tamer]

its a very good team, now me personally its not my tast but its still very good.
my favorite 1 was latios not because he's my favorite pokemon ( wich he is) it just has a good ............... uh something to it ( i know that sounded wierd but hey its a critics life)



p.s. latios is considerd 00ber

[Mana Lugia]

Quick look over, no time for specifics:
Cham: Have either Psychic with calm or Hi Jump kick with bulk, not both.

Skarm: Rest over Drill peck, have a + def/SpD - spA nature.

Groundon: I might have had Jolly or something to boost speed, but sure...

Latios: Yes, Latios is an uber. Moveset's fine.

Suicune/Raikou: Unattainable in RS, so for now, they cannot count as part of a team. Also, Raikou, iirc, does not get sleep talk in RS.

[Larry Koopa]

Lets rate this team!

Medicham: drop bulk up, baton pass for brick break and and shadow ball. Focus band is to unreliable.
7/10

Skarmory: Exellent!
10/10

Groudon: Wheres solarbeam!? put that in there for ancient power. then, put in flamethrower and you'll have the standard
7/10

Latios: You could use it as a pysical sweeper, but your moveset is just fine.
10/10

Suicune: Great!
10/10

Raikou: chesto berry does not work well with sleep talk, give it leftovers instead.
9/10

BONUS
+5 for having 3 pokemon with a score of ten.
-5 for using too many legendarys

53/80 pokemon trainer

[Frostweaver]

hmm... didn't realize that Raikou has sleep talk. That is a violation for Pokemon games. Raikou cannot get sleep talk because you can't trade back to GSC to get the tm.

Medicham- drop calm mind for brick break/hi jump kick. No pokemon should have absolutely no way to attack. Medicham is a baton passer and baton pass is pretty muchs stapled to this guy... DO NOT DROP IT. drop focus band for lum berry (opponents like to lead off with someone who can paralyze or burn you... lum berry will help). Get adamant nature.

Skarmory- drop toxic for rest for more staying power

Groudon- excellent! For once a so called "new player" realizes that flamethrower and solarbeam are not so great on Groudon (in fact rather crappy in comparison to earthquake and bulk up.) You can use return as well instead of ancientpower if you want (your choice)

Latios- good (but soul dew + Latios are considered too powerful... something to think about)

Suicune- good

Raikou- get roar instead of sleep talk (illegal) for pseudohazing which you'll really need


just too much legendaries and that's the only problem really. I think that you're really getting the hang of Ruby Sapphire. Keep up your good work!

[sh3rry]

thanx a lot for helping me! i tried my team w/ my friends but they told me its full of 00bers and legendaries (but personally i think... when you use something good its awesome and when something good is used against you its cheap) so i modified my team :)

[hp-6/atk-0/spatk-252/spd-252/def-0/spdef-0]
thunderbolt because i like it, w-o-w because it reduces attack, psychic... i dont know why ¬¬ and haze because its haze... what i like of gengar is that he's immune to 3 types: ground, fighting and normal.
