My Team on Ruby

[Gabri]

Ok, since that... problem, I'll post my team here so everyone can rate it. It is on Ruby.

Pokémon: Glalie
Nickname: ICEBERG
Level: 47
Nature: Modest
Attacks: Ice Beam
Heabutt
Icy Wind
Crunch

Pokémon: Aggron
Nickname: METALLICA
Level: 45
Nature: Rash
Attacks: Iron Tail
Take Down
Rock Smash
Thunder

Pokémon: Gardevoir
Nickname: PSYCH
Item: Magnet
Level: 45
Nature: Impish
Attacks: Thunderbolt
Psychic
Future Sight
Flash

Pokémon: Medicham
Nickname: CHAMP
Level: 46
Nature: Careful
Attacks: Hi Jump Kick
Confusion
Strength
Focus Punch

Pokémon: Flygon
Nickname: MYSTICISM
Item: Soft Sand
Level: 47
Nature: Bold
Attacks: Earthquake
Crunch
Fly
Facade

Pokémon: Swampert
Nickname: TSUNAMI
Item: Mystic Water
Level: 48
Nature: Gentle
Attacks: Surf
Dive
Mud Shot
Muddy Water

All of them has PokéRus.

Do you think it will be enough to beat the E4? (Of course that I'll have to buy, say, 30 Revives and Full Restores, no?)

Another Thing: I don't give more than TWO TM's/HM's to a Pokémon (gave to Flygon 'cause he'll not learn any good attacks, I think.)

Ingame it's fine. It would get murdered in the competitive battlefield though. First, they need EVs and some half decent natures. Aggron is your only wall, and his weakness to water isn't helped by the rash nature. Putting special attacks on aggron is suicide. Only one attack of each type per pokemon in most cases is good. Put an ice attack on swampert to caver his grass weakness. Items like the Magnet and the Miracle seed are really useless. Don't use them. Any HM moves like Rock Smash must be deleted. That's all I got for now.

Good team and it should beat the e4 easy team rate 4/5

Changes in bold. I was forced to use many moves from move tutors in emerald due to some having horrid movepools. I did my best.

Changes in bold. I was forced to use many moves from move tutors in emerald due to some having horrid movepools. I did my best.

1st: I can't change a Pokémon's nature.
2nd: This team I have is on RUBY, not EMERALD.
3rd: Gardevoir's Magnet saved me against Glacia because it powered up Thunderbolt.
4th: Roar? Light Screen? I don't think so. I only give them attacks that do damage.
5th: How do I give them Rock Slide?
6th: Removing Iron Tail from Aggron is suicide.
7th: So many Hidden Powers...
8th: Removing Medicham's Hi Jump Kick and Focus Punch is suicide.
9th: Gardevoir can't learn Will-o-Wisp. And if it could, I wouldn't give it that move because it is useless.
10th: And the HM's? Will I remove them? No, I always keep them with me. I never remove any HM's. What Pokémon do I have for Fly? And Strength? And the other HM's?

Sincerely, I think the movepools you put here are FAR worst than mine's.

You asked for help. Roar is for PHazing away DDers and other power up pokemon. You obviously are a bit clueless about online, but I'd be happy to help you. If you have all attack moves, you will be brutally torn apart by attack moves. Gardy learns Will-o-Wisp as an egg move. You breed to get better natures. HP is to help the fact that many of your pokemon have dreadful movepools. Iron Tail's accuracy is unreliable and always misses in the worst times. Really, if you won't at least respect our suggestions, why post? Magnet is a VERY useless item, ask anyone. As for the HMs, use an HM slave while training, like trpius and zigzagoon. Two moves of the same type on one pokemon is not good in most cases, so You need to listen at least. BTW, if you needed to be "saved against Glacia," your team needs work. The E4 are dirt as Richard Steel calls them, and he's twice as good as me. Well, just listen. You NEED support moves, not just attacks. Look at almost all the teams posted, they all have moves like roar and swords dance. Hope I helped.

Answers to your questions....

1 = You can, just breed the Pokemon, or catch another one, simple
2 = No answer needed..
3 = Magnet only increase Electric attacks by 10%, so NO!
4 = Why only damaging moves? Please... explain why..
5 = You obviously said you werent playing Emerald, think of what you say before you actually say it. You CAN NOT get Rock Slide on just any Pokemon in Ruby
6 = True, Aggron needs it for STAB, but a Rock type attacks are better because of Type Coverage
7 = No point in that >.>
8 = Always only have 1 type moves individually, dont have 2 Fighting moves in one Moveset, waste of space
9 = .... The first part I understand, it cant learn it in Ruby, but the second part your COMPLETELY wrong! Will-o-Wisp is NOT useless, its very VERY good to cripple physical sweepers
10 = This is why you have HM slaves silly

and the last piece of sentence, completely uneeded, and completely incorrect at the same time, Anti-Pop's movesets obliterated your's completely Thank You

 

[Anti]

Sorry about the emerald thing, but you really need better movesets to do anything competitively. Roar...not useless. We're here to help.

 

[Gabri]

Ok, but I only give them attacking moves because I don't care much about defense. I care about offense and speed.

Catching another Pokemon until getting the right nature? And I would lost 5 game hours training Aggron and 3 training Gardevoir?

I give my Pokemon Magnet and those items because they power up moves, be as low as they can.

I know that Will-O-Wisp burns and lowers their attack, but WHY Will-o-Wisp when they can learn better moves?

I NEVER have an HM Slave. I distribute HMs equally into my Pokemon.

The moveset you presented for Medicham doesn't give him any fighting-type move. A fighting-type Pokemon that doesn't have Fighting-type moves is useless.

I think that Glacia is the E4 most difficult to beat, she and Steven. The others are easy. That Walrein took me 4 Pokemon until I beated him with Gardevoir and its Thunderbolt.

Ok, I think it is enough. I only asked if this team is enough to beat the E4.

Sorry, but thats just how it is sometimes
I give my Pokemon Magnet and those items because they power up moves, be as low as they can.
So low it's useless. There are better items
I know that Will-O-Wisp burns and lowers their attack, but WHY Will-o-Wisp when they can learn better moves?
Because Will--Wisp is a better move. Just cause it doesn't inflict pain right away doesn't make it weak
I NEVER have an HM Slave. I distribute HMs equally into my Pokemon.
You speak as if HMs are good. They aren't. Only useful for getting around.
The moveset you presented for Medicham doesn't give him any fighting-type move. A fighting-type Pokemon that doesn't have Fighting-type moves is useless.
Not really. If it does better with other moves, why give it fighting? His moves can hit what fighting can't
I think that Glacia is the E4 most difficult to beat, she and Steven. The others are easy. That Walrein took me 4 Pokemon until I beated him with Gardevoir and its Thunderbolt.
Meh, personal opinion. I hate the Dragon man
Ok, I think it is enough. I only asked if this team is enough to beat the E4.

Well, you say it as if HMs are useful. Don't power up defense, you will lose. There's more to battling than just blindly attacking.. HMs are not good for battling, so you really should get an HM slave.

We know what were talking about. If you feel you know so much, don't ask for help.

and the last piece of sentence, completely uneeded, and completely incorrect at the same time, Anti-Pop's movesets obliterated your's completely Thank You

I agree.

 

[Gabri]

HMs ARE good.

Surf, Fly, Strength, Dive and Waterfall. Aren't they strong moves?

And I already said that I only asked if this team was enough to beat the E4.

I know what I am talking about too. Toxic is useful some times, but Light Screen? A definitively NO.

And... What are the physical sweepers and those blah blah blahs?

 

[sims796]

I don't think you do.

Fly & Dive are awful. Against humans, at least. Strengh, why waste time with that? There's Return.

LIGHT SCREEN? That move is extremly useful. Cutting damage in HALF sounds useless to you? It saved my arse plenty of times. With Toxic, all I gotta do is switch to end the effect of increasing poison. Then it becomes regular poison.

Against the Elite 4? It doesn't really matter, but what you have is good enough for the Elite 4. And only the Elite 4.

 

[Anti]

EDIT: As for your claim HMs and Magnet are good, go read any team building guide...that should empty your mind of that.

MysticManyula, we're not trying to rip your team apart. In this case I am 100% certain I am right. Your team would not have fun against:

Blissey@Leftovers
Bold Nature
EVs: 252 HP, 252 Defense, 6 Special Defense
~Aromatherapy
~Seismic Toss
~Thunder Wave
~Softboiled

Strategy...And if you brought out medicham, in Skarmory would come. The extremely common Skarmbliss combo would absolutely murder this team, simply with strategy. That's what we're trying to help you with, startegy. Seeing you are limited to just ruby version, try this:

Medicham@Choice Band
Jolly Nature
EVs: 252 Speed, 252 Attack, 6 HP
~Brick Break (if hi jump kick misses...)
~Shadow ball (for ghosts)
~Return
~HP Rock (for flying types)

With the Huge Power ability, I believe Medicham's max attack is 480 (correct me if I'm wrong). Brick Break+STAB+Choice Band+Huge Power=...well...Huge Power! Please try learning about EVs and/or incorperating them into your team.

 

[sims796]

Exactly. Were not trying to insult you, but your insulting us by arguing back as if we have no idea what we're talking about.

 

[Anti]

Yeah, exactly. We do know what we're talking about. Even for the E4, that team is rather weak. Strategy>Power. By now, you get what we're saying. Please read into this a bit and come back with more knowledge (it only takes an hour or so to get EVs and non-attacking moves driven into your head). Don't feel bad, I only learned about EVs a couple months ago. You can do fine if you'd just listen to us.

 

[Gabri]

Light Screen never saved me. And if you say it is enough to the E4, i'll try it, but now I'm going to bed... *yawns*

I use strategy. Half of the leaders weren't beaten if I didn't use strategy (for example, I won against Winona with level 25s... my strongest was Marshtomp at level 29) and I trained very hard to have them at these levels. If I catch one with the right nature, I'll spend hours and hours training them... for example Aggron, is very difficult to raise.

Now really going to bed **does a super-yawn**

Sorry, if you feel insulted, I'm really sorry, but I didn't want to insult you... I just disagreed a bit.

 

[Anti]

Strategy isn't just using super effective moves. If you even read my post you'd know that. Even for the dirt known as the E4, the pokemon are all at very low levels. I could level up six pokemon to level 50 in about 5 hours. It's really not too hard. You need to read up on EVs and the importance of light scree, This should help:

Dragonite used earthquake!
Walrein used Ice beam!
It's supereffective! Dragonite fainted!

~with light screen up~

Dragonite used earthquake!
Walrein used Ice Beam!
It's supereffective!
Dragonite used earthquake!
Walrein fainted!

That should help.

 

[sims796]

Well, thats ok. Have a good sleep.

 

[Shiraishi]

Did this guy should claim that HMs other than Surf and Waterfall are good? Glalie fails with his nice 200 something SP atk when maxed =_= You need to learn the D/P metagame or go away, simple.

 

[Anti]

Actually it's for Ruby. He gets even madder than I do when you post 4th gen stuff. Still, he doesn't even know the Ruby metagame. Only surf is useful as an HM, and waterfall in D/P. Really though, MysticManyula, you NEED an HM slave. Trust us on that. *chants* HM slave! HM slave!
