Zigzagoon is useful outside of battle, as Pick Up ability is really handy if you need a couple of Super Potions.

Seedot and Lotad are cool starting pokemon just because they're grass types. I prefer Seedot because I love Shiftry and all, except for one, Dark types, but Ludicolo has proven to be more battle worthy-without-too-many-TMs-and-move-tutors as you progress later in the game.

Tailow is awesome, and one of the earliest things you can catch for using Fly later on.

Abra, if you can catch one, powerhouse most things at levell 16 when it evolves, and Teleport acts like a pseudo-Fly when you need to get to a Pokemon Center fast.

Shroomish is ok, if you're planning ahead, but without Spore, which it learns at level 42 WITHOUT evolving, is kinda subpar from what it could potentially be.

Wurmple is alright, as it's evolutions are cool for catching pokemon and taking on random trainers, but after that they kinda suck, save vs Brawly.

Other than that, just keep training Ralts and Mudkip, as Ralts's abilities only become stronger with more training. By the way, what is the gender of your Mudkip. If it's female, then you may be in luck, as you can breed it with a Male Slowbro to obtain a baby Mudkip that learns Curse.

In the Petalburg Woods I caught a Slakoth, which i like as it will evolve into vigoroth, i gues i should keep it as vigoroth instead of slaking cause slaking sucks.

Mud Shot
Water Gun
Tackle
Bide

Ralts(lvl 18)

Double Team
Confusion
Teleport
Growl

Vigoroth(lvl 19)

Slack Off

Taillow(lvl 19)

Peck
Wing Attack
Double Team
Quick Attack

Mightyena(lvl 18)

Bite
Howl

Slaking doesn’t suck. Slaking rocks. The only reason it gets a Traunt trait is to prevent it from being overpowered, otherwise, Slaking would be legendary. If you give it the following moveset:

Slaking @Choice Band
Return
Earthquake
Shadow Ball
Focus Punch

then Slaking will be the strongest Pokemon on your team and kill just about anything in one hit.
