this is my current ruby team...i cant remember the natures so im not listing them is i cant remember.
Rayquaza (Lv95) @ Choice Band
Trait: Air Lock
Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Aerial Ace
- Earthquake
- Extremespeed
- Rock Slide
You really feel the need to use a Lv95 Uber Poke against the pathetically weak AI? While the moveset leaves a lot to be desired (which is probably why you are actually using other Pokes on your team), that certainly takes out any strategy whatsoever and becomes a HUGE crutch. I would highly suggest only using Rayquaza as an HM whore (you already have Fly) and not battle with it, unless it is an uber battle with a friend. If you insist on using this crutch, it is best used as a physical attacker. Outrage is a horrible Dragon move. First you are locked into it and then you have to waste a turn with the Yellow Flute. Dragon Claw is MUCH better, but you shouldn't use that either. The above moveset is preferred. Aerial Ace is a STAB move that runs off its high base Atk (150) and the Choice Band adds 10% of pain. Extremespeed is a very strong Quick Attack, meaning it will almost always attack first. Earthquake and Rock Slide are no-brainers.
Like I said, I wouldn't use that thing though. Too cheap.
Blaziken (Lv 90) @ Leftovers
Trait: Blaze
Hasty Nature (+Spd, -Def)
- Fire Blast
- Rock Slide
- Swords Dance
- Sky Uppercut
You really need to kick that bad habit. Strength is a bad move to use, especially on a non-Normal Poke. Blaziken gets no advantage in using it and it prevents it from using a more effective move, like Rock Slide, to cover its huge Flying weakness. Put that Strength on Rayquaza. Blaze Kick is another useless move. Why use a 90% accurate 85 AP move when you can use an 85% accurate 120 AP move? Even Flamethrower (100% accurate 95 AP move) is a better option than that. Also avoid using two moves of the same type. Instead of the weaker Double Kick, use Swords Dance. It will increase its Atk by 2 stages, allowing Sky Uppercut and Rock Slide to cause even more damage. Sadly, like Sceptile, Blaziken cannot get its best moveset until well after the Weak Five. One of too many reasons why Swampert is the King of starters.
Salamence (Lv 64) @ Choice Band
Trait: Intimidate
Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Aerial Ace
- Earthquake
- Rock Slide
- Flamethrower
Totally useless on a team with Rayquaza. Just another reason to drop Rayquaza and put Salamence in its place. While it is still a strong Poke in its own right, it isn't ridiculously powerful and much better balanced than its uber counterpart. Like Rayquaza, I would take advantage of its physical movepool than special.
Flygon (Lv 73) @ Leftovers / Choice Band
Trait: Levitate
Jolly Nature (+Spd, -SAtk)
- Earthquake
- Fire Blast
- Substitute / Screech / Quick Attack
- Rock Slide
Another useless Poke with not only Rayquaza but Salamence (not to mention Latios below) too. Also, a Flygon without a STAB Earthquake is a VERY VERY VERY sad Flygon. Like most Dragon-types, Flygon is a MUCH more effective physical attacker than special. The third slot is your preference. Substitute allows Flygon to sweep rather well, especially against the pathetic AI that will throw in a non-attacking move too often. Screech drops your opponent's Def by 2 stages, making it much easier to KO. Quick Attack is an Egg move, but it is still an attack first move. Very nice.
Latios (Lv 50) @ Soul Dew
Trait: Levitate
Modest Nature (+SAtk, -Atk)
- Dragon Claw / Calm Mind
- Ice Beam
- Recover
- Thunderbolt
Another cheap Poke. Not as bad as Rayquaza, although that doesn't mean much. How it is allowed in Battle Frontier (and Celebi/Jirachi aren't), I will never know. More proof that the programmers for Game Freak are retards and have no concept about balance and strategy. Dragon Claw is the best Dragon move and gets STAB, but Calm Mind is better imo. Boosting Ice Beam and Thunderbolt allows it to kill most Pokes.
Milotic (Lv 31) @ Leftovers
Triat: Marvel Scale
Bold Nature (+Def, -Atk)
- Hypnosis / Sleep Talk
- Ice Beam / Toxic
- Surf
- Recover / Rest
Ahhhh. Excellent choice. The first thing I am going to say is that if its nature isn't Bold, I would breed it until it is, especially with it only in training. A Bold Milotic is going to be a much better option for you. Since it is already strong against special attacks, Bold + max Def EVs makes it absorb physical attacks as well. My favorite is the Rest/Sleep Talk/Surf/Toxic set, but the first option can be just as effective. Hypnosis puts its counters to sleep (unless you aren't lucky) and it can sweep with Ice Beam and a STAB Surf. Having a great HP recovery move doesn't hurt much either.
this is my team for ingame battling...Ruby
I noe 4 of em are 4x/2x weak to ice but im the dragon loving trainer type. Rayquaza kills glacia with a one hit KO shockwave before she does anything anyways
dont put Groudon in there Please i beg u people...
i dont have it and it pains me to hear it. i was such an idiot that i ran from it. (cant help it can i? ruby was the first ever pokemon game i played.)
