PKMN R/S E4 Team
 
Please rate my team and tell me any changes/improvements I can make to help me beat the Elite 4! [currently playing on Sapphire]

Ninetails lvl41
FIRE SPIN
CONFUSE RAY
SAFEGUARD
FLAMETHROWER

KYOGRE lvl48 [most likely will keep him in lineup]
BODY SLAM
WATERFALL
ICE BEAM
HYDRO PUMP

HARIYAMA [Makit] lvl36
EARTHQUAKE
STRENGTH
VITAL THROW
SURF

MANECTRIC lvl42
SPARK
THUNDERWAVE
THUNDERBOLT
BITE

SWAMPERT lvl38
ROCK SMASH
TAKE DOWN
DIVE
BLIZZARD

SWELLOW lvl31 [eep, needs training]
FLY
WING ATTACK
AERIAL ACE
STEEL WING

------------------

I think Swellow should be replaced with a diff PKMN, but which one? I don't know. So, erm I am not asking for a rating, but what should I switch/change about my team so I can beat the E4?

NOTE: Don't say I need training -- I KNOW I DO AND I AM

Try to get your Pokemon into the 50's at least, the movesets forum is more for what you do AFTER the Elite 4, for challenging other human players.

Spike Razzor October 23rd, 2004 1:59 PM

You lost already... I'm sorry, but its true...

Toothache October 23rd, 2004 2:06 PM

Level > all when it comes to ingame training.

Heh, yeah, I KNOW, but what about switching/changing any pokemon?! Dont you think Swellow should be replaced with something else, but what?

EDIT: Flying-type attacks aren't really useful for battling the E4, are they?

deathbyalice October 23rd, 2004 5:10 PM

These guys are right. The Pokemon are good, but you do need to level them up a bit more.

Ian October 23rd, 2004 5:12 PM

So, I don't really need to change any pokemon with any other pokemon? I have all the right pokemon in my lineup -- now just training? Wow...? xD *needs confirmation*

deathbyalice October 23rd, 2004 5:13 PM

It's good. Make sure Kyogre learns some good Ice attacks, and you should do well. I beat all the elite 4 with just my kyogre!

Ian October 23rd, 2004 5:15 PM

Wow, talk about lucky! :)

Erm, Kyogre has Ice Beam and Swampert has Blizzard, what other type of Ice-attacks are there? What are their names...and where can I get them?

Ice demon October 23rd, 2004 6:14 PM

Lord i can't believe no one said this yet

Ok please go read the advance trainer guide by frostweaver

and post ur dream team
not ur actual team.........................................

ie post what u want not what u have





Ian October 24th, 2004 4:14 AM

And what good will THAT do? o_O

deathbyalice October 24th, 2004 4:15 AM

Lol, don't overdo it with the ice attcks. That ice beam should be good enought. Also, make sure one of your party members knows Thunder.

Ian October 24th, 2004 4:45 AM

Yes, Manectric will be learning Thunder here soon, after he levels up a bit. (it's a learnt attack at lvl45) ^^

So Swellow or Ninetails shouldn't be switched?! I just looked through the Pokemon Recommendations in my players guide and I dont see anywhere where you use fire-type attacks. o_O Grr......

Wait, maybe I do... for Steven's Metagross and Skarmory... Hmm.... gah!

deathbyalice October 24th, 2004 4:47 AM

Keep Ninetales, you will need the fire power.

Star Crossed Dreamer October 25th, 2004 1:23 PM

There's a move Kyogre learns called Sheer Cold. It only has a 30% chance to hit, but if it does, it's an instant KO. I believe there are items and moves that can increase the accuracy of Ice Type moves. You're team is excellent, just do what everyone else said and level them up. That way you should have no problem taking down the Elite 4.

Well i would shame
but misery works

Well it would help u become a better trainer and as a consequence a better battler
So that u won't put 2 moves of the same type on one pokemon
eg manectric with spark and thunderbolt
and so that u would understand what are each pokemons strengths and how to use them
eg - u put body slam on kyroge which makes no sense
and much,much more

Ian October 25th, 2004 4:50 PM

Body Slam came with Kyogre o_O

Ice demon October 25th, 2004 4:57 PM

Ok..........
whats ur point??

U can change it to thunder or rest or calm mind or any one of a number of moves that will work on kyorge well.

Kyorge can learn Thunder? That would be a wise move to learn due to the constant rain (meaning thunder's accuracy is bumped up to 100%).

Yes it can........as a result not even water types can stand up to this wet dude.

BigBoss October 26th, 2004 4:50 PM

for beating the E4, Blaziken is your best friend..... but you can't get one, so level up some.

Exactly.........
My guess is that its his own team or a bunch of his favourite pokemon......

especially since he gave exact lvl values for each.
