I feel like trying how Beedrill does in Hoenn, so i made a (jolly) Weedle egg in Leaf Green, but i couldn't trade it to Emerald. So i traded it to Sapphire, where i already had defeated to Elite 4 (not the Aggron save, another one), and tried to trade it from there to Emerald, which didn't work, again. Then i tried to trade the Egg to Ruby. After numerous connection (or w/e) errors, i was finally able to trade the Weedle Egg for a Lv.2 Wurmple, so i can start the Beedrill run on Ruby version soon.
Update: Hatched the egg, grinded to lv. 10. Went to Rustboro, grinded to lv. 20. Beat Roxanne on 4th attempt. Beat Brawly, piece of cake.

Update: Beedrill is doing quite good in Hoenn, i beat both Wattson (needed 2 Super Potions here) and Flannery (got lots of evasionhax by Double Team) on first attempt

I found out that both Twinneedle and Secret Power make no body contact, which is really useful against the likes of Electrike and Slugma.
