3rd Gen A top 5 for best pokemon in Ruby version?

I almost always choose a Swellow, very helpful. If you don't want it, choose Pelliper.

Pelliper can help you with Brawly, lots of grass/rock/ground/fighting/fire pokemon because of its dual typing. Oh, it also helps with Flannery, Winona(Because it can learn the electric move that Wattson gives you), and Juan/Wallace(For reasons said above)


Swellow can help you with Brawly, and fighting, grass, and bug types. It doesn't have a wide variety of advantages like the ones Pelliper has, but once it gets strong, it can help in almost any situation. I actually used my swellow for defeating Wattson one time, and Norman another(And in the battle against both, it was underleveled lol)
 
-Breloom. Probably the best Fighting-type in the game, Breloom has great speed and attack, as well as a great moveset.

-Ludicolo. With an amazingly diverse movepool and insane stats, as well as good type coverage, Ludicolo is just plain good.

-Metagross. While only obtainable in the postgame, Metagross has to be mentioned due to the great movepool that it has.

-Swampert. A Ground-type is always good, and a Water type is also very good. Combine those two, add in good stats and a good movepool, and you have a great Pokemon.

-Flygon. Immunity to Electric- and Ground-type attacks? Hell yes. Good movepool? Yep. Good stats? You know it. Just keep it away from Ice attacks and it'll destroy everything.
