Cool Swampert December 9th, 2007 2:58 PM

Skaterzpenguin December 9th, 2007 3:35 PM

You should of made a poll.

Swampert is the best one!

GetASnover! December 10th, 2007 7:32 PM

Hmmm... I think Sceptile and Swampert because Blaziken is only good at atk and sp atk, Sceptile is good at Speed, atk, sp atk, sp defense and Swampert is good at every thing except Speed.

Sceptile is better against the champion.Swampert is consistent in the league.Blaziken is good against a few and bad against a few.So pick your choice.

Blaziken just sweeps almost everything with its balance of Sp. Atk and Atk. The only time it will have problems is with Drake and Wallace. It's weak to flying attacks, ground, and water so if you can't OHKO the Pokemon, better have back-ups just in case.

Golden Arceus December 11th, 2007 2:08 PM

I had issues getting thru E4 with Blaziken the first time.. but I wiped the floor with them using Swampert afterwards.. I recommend it..

Atomic Torkoal December 12th, 2007 2:13 PM

Sceptile:
Bad against:Glacia, Drake, Steven
Good Against:Wallace, Steven(Somewhat)

Blaziken:
Bad against: Phoebe, Glacia, Wallace, Steven, Drake
Good Against:Sidney, Steven

Swampert:
Bad against:Drake(If you try to use Earthquake, but Ice Beam is 4x effective on most of Drake's critters.)
Good Against:Drake(See above), Steven, Glacia and Wallace(To an Extent)

Swampert wins. Plus, it's an awesome tank, but the E4's so patheticly easy that it can win as an attacker. =>

Heart's Soul December 16th, 2007 9:03 AM

Humph, Blaziken is SUPERIOR!
 
I beat the entire game by using Blaziken! ONLY Blaziken. It's too easy, Swampert is ugly and weak, although he has ONE type weakness, and Sceptile, he's just a Grass type. I also like Blaziken's cry.

Swampert might be ugly, but weak? I don't think so. Sceptile's typing has nothing to do with how well it can annoy people with subseeding. Ingame opponents suck anyways, including the weak 4.

Ironically, Blaziken is the worst since it has low speed and can't take a hit.

Depends on the fan. Sceptile was weak both in the anime and the games. Fire-types rule! But it does depend on the game. Charizard, Meganium, Blaziken, Empoleon... Yep, it's the game. Everyone has their own decisions, why'd they make this. People just kill each other [AGELIMIT]*punches Golden Arceus, he starts bleeding*[/AGELIMIT] anyway.

Anti December 16th, 2007 10:45 AM

Stop saying sceptile is weak when it is in no way, shape, or form weak. Fire types might be cool, but weaknesses to water, rock, and worst of all ground moves weaken them terribly. Who you choose depends on personal preference, but it's been provwen swampert and sceptile see more use and are often far more effective than blaziken.

SWAMPERT!!!!!
SWAMPERT!!!!!
SWAMPERT!!!!!
SWAMPERT IS AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It depends on the player really. In game, if raised (level wise) high enough most/any Pokemon can tackle the in-game trainers (just gets trickier along the way, the E4 aren't THAT easy... especially if you don't know what you're up against).

Sceptile is cool but not my style, Swampert, though a powerhouse because of its dual type and movepool, it's the easy way and I'm not too fond of it all that much. I went with Blaziken since I liked its design and its stats make it a something of a high gamble glass canon that can rock on many levels if you know what you're doing and I like that play style (it'd be lame to have one overpowering guy wrecking havoc isn't very fun).

That and I have a thing for Pokes who can mix things up (referring to Blaziken's Att and Sp. Att stats)

That's sorta why I don't get Atomic Torkoal's list... Blaziken can fair its own, if not one man Phoebe with Flamethrower in tow with only the Dusclops with EQ probably catching you off guard and either forcing a switch or a heal if your guy isn't strong enough. You can easily have Blaziken dispose of Glacia's two Glalie in a one hit sure kill with that same move leaving your electric type to do the rest.

The other guys I got no argument about.

EDIT: No, I don't like Charizard and don't see Charmander as the ideal choice. (This refers to the talk earlier in the thread)

Heart's Soul December 21st, 2007 9:37 AM

Again, Blaziken helps out!

Cool Swampert January 1st, 2008 10:34 AM

Cool Swampert January 1st, 2008 10:50 AM

Emo Kid Cloudé January 1st, 2008 10:51 AM

They're all great. I prefer Sceptile, but Swampert is probably the best choice.

Yeah, but either way, I highly doubt you'll use any of the starters in your competitive team. So, at the end of the day, it doesn't matter what starter you use, get them to a high level and either of the three can sweep the Elite Four tbh.

Unless it's swampert or Sceptile, who are actually useful and you can breed for good IVs.

Seriously, Swampert can't take grass types since most are faster than it and threaten a OHKO. not to mention HP Grass Mence which is just nasty to it.

Blaziken sucks competitiely, just to get that out there. It might look cool, I can understand why so many love it, but it isn't good...

Sceptile iws cool and all, nice subseeder, cool pokemon in general.

Swampert is the best starter ever (Infernape gives it a run for its money, but this is before D/P). Amazing defensive typing, nice Atk and SAtk, 100 base HP is nice.

BTW, beating the game is no accomplishment...
