3rd Gen Any pokemon you just can't get rid of on your team?

[LUXRAY6292]

I know I have played emerald almost 4 times through now, and no matter what I always have Gardevoir (spelling?)

Is there anyone else who seems to always use the same pokemon consistently?

 

[World King]

In my RSE games, I always train and use Swellow. Dunno, but I always do. =D

And in my FrLg games, I usually carry my Butterfree, 'cause it PWNs! ​

 

[Jake♫]

I always had a Breloom for some reason. I just love its mushroom hat XD

 

[Cheshire]

When I play through sapphire I always catch sharpedo and nosepass. there great. :D

 

[Raibutai]

I could never resist hanging around Viridian Forest and trying to catch a Pikachu... Just couldn't resist... the urge...

 

[Ryuzaki_Lawliet]

In my Firered I can't help but have a Fearow :) I know why. Its because my Spearow evolved on my birthday... I think that I have like 20 Fearows now.

 

[LethalTexture]

LeafGreen, it's ALWAYS a Pikachu/Raichu.
On Ruby/Sapphire, it's ALWAYS a Swellow.

 

[CrazyCubone]

I always end up with a Pikachu in FireRed.

 

[revelp8]

Gardevoir is like a must have in R/S/E

it tanks so well xP

 

[PokemonMichael]

Marowak, and Gyarados(sp?) as well as an Arcanine.

 

[Ryuzaki_Lawliet]

In sapphire I just realized- I have all Meowths on my team :) Probly cuz they have Pickup

 

[Zebeedoo]

I always seem to use my Blaziken/Pelipper/Salamence and Ampharos. I guess it's 'cause I love them. ^__^

 

[Ryuzaki_Lawliet]

Pelliper i could understand... I really like them.

 

[System!]

I must always have a Blaziken, a Gardevoir, and a Gardevoir in my team in Sapphire. Always.

In LeafGreen I must start out with a Charmander. And have a Jolteon in my team.

Pelipper. I couldn't resist. Wingull was so awesome, then I'd evolve it. Not only can I use it to use Fly, but it's rather strong in-game. I could tank through the hole E4 with just my Pelipper.

 

[Dragonbane]

In my emerald...

Rayquaza. I need it, cause its been in all my R/S/E games.

 

[Sackferth]

I've been trying to play the games with
Pokemon I don't usually use lately.

Although I always pick the fire starter on all gens.

 

[Gavin<3]

I must always have a Blaziken, a Gardevoir, and a Gardevoir in my team in Sapphire. Always.

Neat with two Gardevoirs in one team, SystemOfADownperson~ ;)

Zangoose. I need Zangoose in Ruby. I can't have a team facing elite4 without Zangoose. Zangoose is my lifeline, my soul. Hm. Well, I'm pissed about not having Zangoose in Emerald. Really pissed.

 

[The Scientist]

Believe it or not, Xatu hasn't made its way onto all of my teams.

Tentacruel has. From my Red Version (which I still play) to my Smogon team, it's always there. Although it has many uses, I tend to make it a Utilitycrue, with Knock Off, Confuse Ray, Toxic, and Surf. It's oft-underestimated Sp.Def allows it to take Psychics, Earth Powers, and Thunderbolts like a champ, and its type combination gives it some useful physical resistances. All this adds up to a 'Mon that can switch into most sweepers and neutralize them by Knocking Off their Life Orb/Choice Item and inflicting confusion.

With Barrier, Toxic, and Mirror Coat, it becomes an unnaturally fast Toxistaller + wall...

You could also go the special sweeper route, and give it Sludge Bomb, Ice Beam, and Surf.

Yeah... Tentacruel FTW.

The Starter Pokémon. Any legendary is also appreciated, unless it is shiny and I don't feel like EV Training it for the time being.
