Good Normal/Ground/Rock Type?
What's a good normal/Ground/Rock type to complete my team with? it needs to be preferably before or at least right after the 3rd badge. Thats my only specification. Unless somehow i can get a super good one like right after the point i mentioned. Do NOT say: "there are wayyy 2 meny opsions doooddd!" just mention random pokemon that are of the type and specifications if you don't have any valid information to post.

Well, it would be helpful if you could tell us what game you're playing and list the Pokemon that are already on your team.
|
Okay. I'm currently playing pokemon silver and this is my team i have planned so far:
Fire:Typhlosion Dragon: Dragonite (if i cant get dragonite, then it will be crobat) Water/Psychic:Slowbro Bug/Fighting:Heracross Electric:Ampharos Then im looking for a rock/ground/normal type. Preferably normal since im trying to use a couple people i haven't ever used in silver |
Can't go wrong with Sandslash, my personal favourite Ground-type. I've had one in pretty much every team i've had in the R/B/Y games. Admittedly not so much Silver/Gold so you could try another but if I was going to add a Ground-type to my arsenal, it'd be Sandslash.
Normal types you could try would be Pokémon like Miltank, Chansey, Snorlax etc. High HP, can learn a wide variety of moves and armed with the right movesets can be absolutely lethal in battle. As for Rock, i'm not sure as it's a type i've always steered clear of. The one time I did have a Rock-type in my team (Onix), I traded and evolved into the mighty Steelix. Even then, however, it only played a bit-part so I dunno. Golem maybe? Or if you want to try something different have a go with Sudowoodo lol. |
Im not sure if you can get sandshrew in pokemon silver or not.. And hmm miltank chansey or snorlax sounds good but the downside is: snorlax you get after the like 14th gym... and chansey is after the 12th gym i think. Miltank is after the 4th gym so thats a possibility. Any other Normal types you can get earlier that you know of?

But yeah, I stick by my original statement, Miltank is a good bet. I keep forgetting you can't get Sandshrew/slash in Silver lol :/ |
|
Yeah i just looked at that a sec before you posted it lol. I think im going to choose miltank. It can learn surf and other elemental moves so id prefer that, and i think its base hp is a little higher..
edit: oh and yeah articmankey if sandshrew was in the game i would have deffinetly got it lol i have a thing for sandshrew, but thanks for the help guys |
I'd actually get Tauros over Miltank, it's a much stronger Pokemon.
|
You can catch male and female Nidorans on routes 35 and 36. They evolve into Nidoqueen and Nidoking, who are both poison/ground.
Geodude is in Dark Cave and on route 46. That depends if you're able to trade though, because Golem is awesome but Graveller not as much. |

Too bad you can't wifi on the older gens. |
Sandshrew is in Silver. It costs 700 coins at the Goldenrod Game Corner.
|
I dont have the ability to trade.. but hmm i didnt know you could get sandshrew. That changes things...
routes 35 and 36... how far are they into the game |
Route 35 is the route from Goldenrod -> National Park, Route 36 is the junction route connecting National Park and Violet City (It's where you catch Sudowoodo).
I completely forgot about the Game Corner! Miltank, Tauros or Sandshrew? Hmmm.. toughie, but it depends what you're after. For strength i'd go for Tauros or Miltank but based on personal preference alone it'd be Sandshrew every time. |
I think ill get miltank until kanto then ill trade a chansey for an aerodactyl and then have an aerodactyl.
I have one more question to ask about the same team and didnt want to make a new thread so: what is the earliest time you can get a zubat and is it worth it to replace dragonite with crobat or would i have to many weaknesses |
You can find Zubat starting at Rt. 30 I think. You can pretty much just wander around at night and find one pretty easily.
There's a list of the routes you can find it on Bulbapedia. Link Unless you can trade one from somewhere, Dratini/Dragonair/Dragonite come along pretty late in the game. Crobat is pretty good, and you shouldn't have a problem with using it, plus you can always replace it later if you decide you don't like it. |
To echo the above post, i'd just go with Crobat tbh. If you decide it's not for you, there's always the possibility of picking up a Dratini at a later point and training it up to a Dragonite. Personally I prefer Dragonite, but I did have a Crobat in one of my teams and found it to be fantastic if you're wanting to annoy the hell out of opponents. If you're wanting power, it's got to be the lovable orange Dragon every time.
|
Yeah i might go with this team now seeing as how i found out about the 3 starters glitch.
Typhlosion Meganium Feraligatr Heracross Slowbro Dragonite/crobat or Typhlosion Meganium Feraligatr Heracross Slowbro Ampharos |
I would go with Onix or Graveler (then evolve it into Golem). Because those two can become some of the best on your team if you train them hard. I have them both in Silver.

Alright. It's your game :3
|
No your suggestion was fine lol but its just that i can't trade pokemon so theres no point for me to have two mediocre pokemon that aren't above average until they evolve by trade.
