I need some help with my Leaf Green team.

Surf
Rapid Spin
Protect

Victreebell Level 40
Vine Whip
Acid
Toxic
Cut

Raichu Level 40
Thunderbolt
Light Screen

Fly
Aerial Ace
Drill Peck
Mirror Move

Graveler Level 40
Rollout
Defense Curl
Magnitude
Rock Slide

Flareon Level 38
Fire Spin
Sand Attack
Bite
Quick Attack

Any substitutions or ideas on what moves I should give them?

 

[Mozarch4]

for blastoise give him ice beam instead of rapid spin and EQ instead of protect

for victerabell it needs changing but i dont realy know what moves caz i didnt play LF for along time

graveler is just too weak replace him with snorlax maybe

flareon needs flamethrower

fearow give him steel wing instead of ariel ace

raichu give him iron tail instead of slam or light screen

Blastoise Level 40
Ice Beam
Surf
Skull Bash/Earthquake
Protect

Don't know what to tell you for Blastoise, but maybe keep on Protect for the E4, since the Kanto E4 is probably one of the hardest.

Victreebell Level 40
Giga Drain
Acid
Toxic
Body Slam

Maybe not Body Slam. I think it's an LM in this game, but I'm not sure. Either way, Cut is awful, haha. And I would recommend Sludgebomb > Acid, but the TM for it is in the Rocket Warehouse thing on Five Island, which is very far off at this point. You should have waited to evolve this guy so he could have gotten Razor Leaf. :(

Raichu Level 40
Thunderbolt
Thunder Wave
Slam
Brick Break/Body Slam/Iron Tail

Counter isn't too useful in-game. Light Screen is okay, but Thunder Wave is preferred.

Fearow Level 40
Fly
Aerial Ace
Drill Peck
Mirror Move

All Flying moves...I have nothing to say though, there's not much I can say for this guy.

Graveler Level 40
Brick Break
Explosion
Earthquake
Rock Slide

If you don't have a Link Cable, replace this guy with something like Rhydon.

Flareon Level 38
Flamethrower
Sand Attack
Bite
Take Down/Double Edge

Any substitutions or ideas on what moves I should give them?

Comments in bold. Eh, I tried. ;(

The best Flareon moveset in this game is:

Shadow Ball
Fire Blast / Flamethrower
Dig
Hyper Beam

Flareon is mainly a physical attacker and Hyper Beam should only be used if you need to KO something fast. Because you WILL die during the recharge since Flareon is so frail.

 

[murb93]

How would I go about getting Flame Thrower? I can buy the rest in Celadon I think. Also, would it help if I evolved Graveler? I have two Gameboys, I can trade him and then trade him back.

 

[Sydian]

Yeah, evolve Graveler then. It will be better as a Golem. And you need a Coin Case for Flamethrower iirc. Costs a good number of coins, but well worth it. Or you can wait til Flareon get to level 52. Whatever floats your boat.

 

[murb93]

I ended up trading over my Arcanine from my other game, it wasn't very high leveled, so I don't consider it cheating. I have Golem now. And Blastoise knows Hydro Cannon now instead of Rapid Spin. And Rain Dance instead of Protect.

 

[Sydian]

Rain Dance isn't going to get you much use in-game to be honest, especially since it's not like any of your teammates' abilities rely on rain (like Swift Swim). So that's a pretty wasted slot in in-game terms, unless you're trying to set it up for Thunder, I suppose. But...I still vouch that it's useless. Hydro Cannon is powerful, but inaccurate and has the same consequences as Hyper Beam; losing a turn. But oh well.

 

[murb93]

I usually have good luck with Hydro Cannon though. I'm on Victory Road right now, I'm using that for most of my training.
