Stuck in Mauville against that pesky but well named third gym leader Wattson, and just noticed the fact that my team poses a serious flaw against electric types.Yeah, sure my Marshtomp cant be touched by electricity, but on the other hand it has no good moves against them.

Emerald Update #1 - 6.19.10
----------------------------

Currently taking my Salamence through the League several dozen times. She started at level 74 yesterday (after not having trained her for a long period of time) and is currently at level 90. I'm not gonna delve into her stats or moveset as I'm planning on taking her online for some competitive battle tests, so we'll leave it at... erm... she's a powerhouse.

Once I finish my Salamence (which will most likely be tonight) I'm gonna go back to training up a Spheal I have stored in the PC. I'm aiming for a party of non-uber but super powerful Pokemon and so far I've got Tyranitar and Gengar.

I'll give an update tomorrow afternoon.

Continuing my Red run of PokeSpec...after teaching Poli Psychic and levelling it up on Cycling Road and against Koga, I realised if I did Cinnabar, I wouldn't have much to level up Aero against (I'm skipping Sevii Isles until post-E4).

So, I flew to Pallet Town, surfed down avoiding trainers, resurrected Aero's fossil, then taught him HM02 Fly, flew over to Saffron, gave him Exp. Share, raided Silph....now I'm heading over to Seafoam Islands from Fuchsia (this way I just go through there, possibly looking for Articuno, continue to Cinnabar, defeat Blaine, continue up to Pallet, Viridian, Pokemon League....and get ran back to Pallet Town).

Currently Owned: 63 Pokemon

Current Team:


Poli
lv.40
Impish nature
Water Absorb ability

-Strength
-Body Slam
-Psychic
-Hypnosis

Only evolving once I've got Belly Drum....


Pika
lv.40
Lax nature

-Thunderbolt
-Quick Attack
-Flash
-Substitute

Currently debating Toxic......neat move, but Pika's Subs are a little weak to successfully stall...suppose it could make up for lack of firepower...


Saur
lv.41
Quiet nature

-Razor Leaf (Solarbeam, then Frenzy Plant will replace)
-Sleep Powder
-Leech Seed
-Cut

Will evolve @ lv.50, as I originally intended to evolve it outside Celadon, like Red, but instead evolved it at lv.25


Gyara
lv.40
Brave nature

-Surf
-Thunder Wave (great for overcoming speed-reducing nature)
-Twister
-Bite

Absolute beast, this.


Lax
lv.45
??? nature (graphical glitch, I actually can't get the nature on Snorlax, Slowbro or Zapdos, ironically).
Immunity ability.

-Body Slam
-Rest
-Yawn
-Brick Break

This guy helped out a lot, particularly as nothing could take on Erika, except for him, as he had Sleep Talk, and an immunity to Poison, so he also helped with Koga, although Pika knew Dig, so that helped.


Aero
lv.30
Adamant nature

-Fly
-AncientPower
-Bite
-????? xD I can't remember.

In Box:


Vui
lv.37
Mild nature

-Quick Attack
-Bite
-Sand Attack
-Baton Pass


Coolly, Vui and Saur have the same natures as Red's Vui and Saur.

I recently started a new game on Sapphire after transporting all my old favorite pokemon onto Platinum, and now I'm going through with an aim towards an 'evil' team.

I'm playing the role of the villain from my fanfic. His name is Axis and he prefers Dark, Fire, and Ghost Types, so I picked Torchic. I'm about to fight Roxanne.

i just finished my pokemon leafgreen version 3 days ago and these are my pokemon
charizard: lv60
victreebel: lv49
starmie: lv56
persian: lv45
nidoking: lv 47
hitmonlee: lv49
i was following a walkthrough created by lueroi on youtube even though i know the game
he was pretty good
i and have caught mewtwo and suicuine and all the legendary birds

Emerald Update #2 - 6.21.10
----------------------------

Alright! Salamence is up to level 100! WOO! Gonna change the moveset a little bit, migrate her over to HeartGold and then trade her to Diamond to get the Pokedex entries, then trade her to Platinum to wait for some online battling.

I mentioned Spheal before but I'm putting her on the shelf and training my Aron, which just recently evolved into Lairon, so... I'm training Lairon... yeah... My non-legendary team is looking pretty good! I have Tyranitar for Special Attack, Salamence for Attack, then I'll have Aggron for Defense, and Walrein for HP and some Attack. I need a speed specialist... which would probably be my Gengar (in Platinum) so that's good... maybe another Defense... could be Shuckle... I dunno yet, we'll see. On paper this is gonna be a good team. Two other Pokemon I'm lookin' at are Flygon and Slaking.

This'll come together at some point.

Mankey evolved while I was in Silph.co

Currently wondering wether or not I should replace Dugtrio with Hypno.


Current team
Wartortle lv.32
Raticate lv.28
Fearow lv.28
Primape lv.28
Raichu lv.28
Dugtrio/Hypno

This was last week ago.

Ruby:

- Just got my Slaking to level 60.
- My Blaziken is almost level 50.
- My Battle Tower wins are over 40 now.
- I obtained another Wailord.

After annihilating Misty with ivysaur, I proceded north towards Nugget bridge. Before arriving there, i faced Gary. His team posed no problem, which I mopped up with Clefable and Fearow. I beat the Nugget bridge, taught the rocket member a lesson or two, and took a nugget off him for good measure. Met good ol' Bill-should've left him as a pokemorph- and got an S.S Anne ticket. Beaten the Rocket in the house, proceeded to S.S Anne, beat Gary and learned cut off the sea-sick Captain. Went to Diglett tunnel, caught a Digleet, obtained flash and an amber from professor Oak's aide and the museum. I then went back, beat Lt. Surge with Diglett - I 1HKO'd each of his pokemon - and travelled through rock tunnel, before arriving in Lavender on the other side. I then went to the pokemon tower, and beat Gary a third time. I am now currently cycling towards Celadon city.

My team

Ivysaur - lvl 27
Clefable - lvl 27
Fearow - lvl 26
Dugtrio - lvl 26

well on emerald im at the battle frontier having trouble getting one symbol

Emerald Update #3 - 6.29.10
----------------------------

Alright... Salamence has become the ultimate Elite 4 fighting machine. She is on an absolute tear right now and all I have to do is slap an Exp. Share on whichever Pokemon I'm training and it takes me about 20 minutes to get through the E4. I keep the Exp. Share on until the Pokemon is able to fight for itself (usually around level 50) and get through some of the E4.

I'm finally developing my non-legendary dream team. I have all six of them and I'm training them up somewhat simultaneously. I have Salamence, Slaking, Aggron, and Walrein in my Emerald game. Gengar and Tyranitar are already in Platinum... or Diamond...... or HeartGold... I forgot where they are.... Point is, I'm training up my dream team and it's pretty awesome.

Currently on the Ruby/Sapphire arc of PokeSpec, so I felt the need to go ahead and trek around Hoenn a bit! I'd play Ruby or Sapphire, but I never owned Ruby, and I lost my Sapphire [and the Shiny Raticate on it T_T;], so I broke out Emerald, and popped it into my GBASP. Went through the usual stuff at the beginning, chose Torchic as my starter since I don't tend to use starters anyway - My usual routine is to find my favorite Pokemon design near the beginning of a game, and capture it and use IT as my starter, so that's what I did. In Hoenn's case, it's the ever-awesome dog Pokemon: Poochyena! Nicknamed it Roro.

Currently right outside of Petalburg, training up Roro and my newly obtained Tailow, Bebe.

Team:

- Roro(Poochyena): Level 8
- Bebe(Tailow): Level 6

EDIT: Just noticed. Charizard10, a Youtuber called chuggaaconroy is AMAZING, and does a Fire Red LP. You should check him out, if you're in to that kind of stuff.

Just started Emerald two nights ago, currently have two badges and my team consists of Combusken Lvl19, Lombre Lvl19, Taillow Lvl19 Azumarill Lvl19 and Aron Lvl15. In SlatePort City at the moment looking for a Mr Devon.

Just arrived at Mossdeep City, debating whether or not to train my Pokémon a few more levels before taking on the Gym.

Team:
Manectric, level 40
Lombre, level 40
Blaziken, level 41
Graveler, level 39
Crobat, level 39
Mightyena, level 40

yesterday was the first day i legitly got infected with pokerus. it was on my emerald cartridge. i was fighting Secret base data with some of my cousin's friends, when in a random battle hopping between secret bases, with a pokemon i will probably never know, i got infected with that stat boosting virus. only problem is that mt team's lowest pokemon is Lv. 70.
anyways, here's my team.

Faye (Gardevoir) Lv. 72
Godzilla (Groudon) Lv. 77
Rasta Dog (Linoone) Lv. 82
Shoryuken (Blaziken) Lv. 84
Blue Fin (Kyogre) Lv. 85
Dilshan (Rayquaza) Lv. 92.

and before anyone goes all "yur team sux, it haz legendariez" im not a serious battler, im just playing for fun. besides, the only one that could even stand a realistic chance in a serius fight is Faye, and she's not even Lv. 100 yet.
