Then get Gardevoir or some other Psychic type if you want. Gardevoir is a really good Pokemon In-Game though.

 

[shanecdavis]

I'm not sure if I can get an Alekazam, because I have a DS and I don't think DS can connect GBA games. Also, What other pokemon do you reccomend? I can't seem to find any good ones, only crappy ones. (Not that I'm that sure they're crappy, but they look crappy).

Word of advice: Judging how powerful a Poke will be by how it looks isn't very smart. Take a minute to look through a guide/Pokedex on numerous sites to get familiar with what experienced trainers call "base stats". That will tell you very easily how good a Poke is. For instance, Delcatty is the WORST second evo in the game, yet some noobs still use it because it is "cute".

Good Pokes to catch early in the game:
Mudkip (starter)
Lotad
Shroomish
Ralts
Taillow
Makuhita

Geodude / Aron is also good because it helps you kill Wattson easily. Mightyena actually isn't bad early on because of Intimidate.

Shroomish is amazing because of one move: SPORE. It's a sleeping move with 100% accuracy, and fantastic for Legendaries. Only problem is... Shroomish - and ONLY Shroomish - learns it at Level 54. lol

I always like to pick at least one up early on in the game and leave it in the Day Care.

Asfor suggestions, I agree with Shanecdavis. Look through a guide; it's perfect for pre-planning a team, if you know where they are and how rare. But if you can't get an Alakazam, go for a Gardevoir. In my Sapphire version, she had a fairly tanked Special Attack, and I used a Double-Team/Calm Mind combo on Drake and Wallace and destroyed them.

If you pick up an Oddish, you'll eventually come across a Leaf Stone. Oddish's final evolution, Vileplume, is really a very good Grass pokemon, and a great Sunny Day-Solar Beam player. I once tried to get a Shiftry, by catching a Seedot early on in the game (took me forever), but I wasn't too happy with the moves he learned.

And like Shaecdavis said, Taillow is a great flying Pokemon. Swellow has amazing attack and amazing speed.

Another Pokemon I'll add to the list is Magnemite. He has killer special attack, and is pretty darn good with speed. His Steel type gives him great defense, and he's probably the best all-around Electric Pokemon.

FYI - when you refer to "tankish" stats in regards to a Poke, it typically means they are strong defensively, not offensively. Also, don't waste your time on Double-Team. In the amount of turns it take to use it to the point where it is even worth it, your battle could already have been won. DT will fail you eventually. It is not worth it.

Well, I'm the first to admit that I've always been anything but typical. ;-)

When I say "tanked", I mean high; powerful. Like a tank!

If you'd prefer, I could always use a different phrase? Like... Emperial Walker?

Also, it proved worth it when I used it. I got rid of it shortly after, but it proved very worth it. When playing in-game, that is, it's a good way to cover your back if you're having trouble beating someone. Some luck is required, but you can do it.

Some things are better used with a gamble.

Is Relicanth even catchable in Emerald? Cause I can't find it anywhere I dive at.

Geez, how many pages did you go back to find this gem that has already been answered? BTW - Relicanth has no evolution, pre or post. You are thinking of Milotic and its prevo Feebas.

Seafloor Cavern can be found by surfing directly south of Mossdeep to Route 128. If you turn, you will not find it. It is a big patch of dark water, where you will also find the stolen sub. Don't forget you need Strength and Rock Smash, so bring along your HM slave.

That is Feebas. Relicanth is on the bottom of the ocean when you Dive.

I have a question... LOL

Where do you find the Move Tutors at Battle Frontier? I've looked and looked and looked, but I can't seem to find 'em.

Also, when it comes to move sets, would Ingrain be an okay substitute for Recover when it comes to the pokemon Cradily? Recover is an Egg Move, and I'm not gonna hatch another Lileep and train him back up to 70 just for a single move.

 

[shanecdavis]

They are in a building down the stairs and to the left of the Battle Dome. One of the best buildings you will find in the game.

I NEVER suggest Ingrain since it prevents you from switching out your Poke. If this is strictly in-game, then you can get away with it, but it is basically Pokemonic suicide if you do it competitively. Ingrain = opponent switches in a weakness = fainted Poke.

If you really question which is better, simply think about what the moves do. Ingrain is like Leftovers, increasing a Poke's HP by 1/16. Recover increases a Poke's HP by 1/2. Whenever you can breed for a move like Recover, you do it. Don't think of it as starting over, just think about it as getting it right.

Damnit Shane, why do you always have to be right?
Well, in that case, I guess I should get cracking (no pun intended), and start hatching some eggs. In the long run it would be more beneficial. But what poke that already has Recover should I breed with my Cradily?

 

[**Kyoshimaru**]

I can't find a Feebas anyone know how to get one and catch it

 

[Mudkip85]

I can't find a Feebas anyone know how to get one and catch it

Feebas is found on route 119, but once your there the fustration begins. There are 6 tiles on the entire game that contain Feebas,and they will change depending on the Dewford trend.However only one tile contains Feebas and it doesent change ever does depend on internal game number!The way to find it easily is to fish in one spot three times.If you ever come across it,Tell the world you've seen it!Fish there for more Feebas then catch them while they last!

I know its fustrating but keep at it and youll get it eventually.

You breed a female Lileep with a male Corsola that knows Recover (Lv17).

Feebas can be found in the water on Route 119. As it was explained before, there are only SIX water tiles that you will find it on. You can change the tile locations by changing the "trendy phrase" in Dewford, but it takes just as long to do that as it does to just fishing for it. Use the Super Rod. That way you will only come across Carvahna, other than the eventual Feebas. This is a great opportunity to do some EV training. Carvahna give you 1 Atk EV, so you can actually do something useful as you are wasting time finding Feebas.

Unless what was already suggested, I highly recommend fishing 5-6 times in each square. If you only fish 3 times, Feebas appears only 40-60% of time in the designated squares, and I would hate for you to miss one by getting an unlucky 3 misses in a row.

Catching Feebas is only half of the fun though. Evolving it into Milotic is almost as hard as catching it, unless you have mastered the art of PokeBlocks, or have an Emerald cart that has the Master Blender. Just use Chesto Berries and you will get the highest rated Gold PokeBlocks that will evolve Feebas, as long as it Bold Nature that is.

The Berry Master is coming tomorrow on my game! I plan to harvest all the berries I can by then, and then I'll go hunting for a Feebas (who I will then breed the ever loving dog crap out of once I do find him).

Also, I saw a commercial for something dealing with the Game Corner - something about unlucky people possibly becoming lucky then. Does anyone know what that one is? I've been looking for an explanation, but I couldn't find one.

Why don't you try going out ot the game corner to find out what it is may try you luck at the slot machines if you were'nt winning before maybe a new wind will come and like the comercial said about unlukies becoming luckies you never know

 

[Idiot!]

Is a Smoke Ball worthy to be used when challenging the Battle Pike? Or does it just waste an itemslot because it's no big deal?

They claim that it increases your chance of winning, but I haven't seen it. Could be that I am not a serious "gamer" and don't stay there too long. I will win a couple hundred coins, get bored, and call it a day. It is much faster to take an Amulet Coin and go battle Gabby, earning 7k each time.

It is a just a waste of an item slot because it's no big deal.
