    • I vote Treeko.But only when he is trained properly. If he is given all grass moves, he isnt very good. But Mudkip is good too cuz u ballence out his Water and Ground moves. So Electic dont harm him as much as it could if he was Water. And Torchic is O.K but isnt the best choice. My little bro likes Torchic soooo much and he has a LVL 100 blaziken but I have a lvl 66 Swampert that I have left in my Box for over a year, And I bet I could still kill him. So id say Treeko is the best.

    • No Way!! Swampert is completely immune to all electricity and he nails grass with ice beam, electric and fire with water or ground. Then, with another move of your choice, you can nail ANOTHER type!! Mudkip is definately best!!

    • I choose Treecko. Treecko evolves into Sceptile a strong grass type pokemon and its moves are also strong.

    • i would say Treecko because it has good speed, and good atk/sp.atk. Treecko when it levels up starts to learn some good attacks and when you get Grovyle and Sceptile, it learns some strong attacks like Solarbeam, and i think possibly Aerial Ace.

    • Competitively, Swampert is the best. there is cursepert, roarpert...lots of different names and sets. Swameprt has tremendous stats for tanking. Grass types, even if you have ice beam, murder the guy. Most grassers are faster and can withstand an ice beam. Ice beam seems to come in handy when mence pops in.

    Sceptile is a nice subseeder, but really isn't anything of a great sweeper. It really isn't a good sweeper at all IMO. It doesn't have the power, unless you power it up somehow .

    Blaziken is probably the worst. It has a base speed of (lol) 80, so it can't really make use of its awesome attacking stats. When you scarf it, it's okay, but it is still outclassed by infernape. If we're talking 3rd gen, Mence or Nite are better mixed sweeepers, heracross pwns it as a physical sweep, and Zam is a far better special sweeper. It is also weak to EQ and water attacks :/


    From a coolness standpoint, that's only personal opinion. I prefer swampert, which is also why I use it on my team :)

    EDIT: SuperKyogreRuler, for the record, your logic on swampert is a bit flawed :/ Swampert's goal isn't to cover types, it's to tank, tank, and tank some more. Not to mention counter TTar and other pests. Besides, supereffective (I can't stress this enough) isn't everything.

    • I vote for Mudkip as well for the same reasons that everyone else said. Swampert is just awesomely strong. ^_^

    • mudkip is good when it evolves into marshtomp and swampert because it can resist electric attacks, but the problem is if marshtomp or swampert get hit by a grass attack, it is ultra effective because water and ground is weak to grass, and the result could possibly be 4x the attack (i dunno exactly)

    Eh, at least you didn't flame me, which is a first, since people can't seem to take the fact that I too have an opinion. But thanks.

    Still, I've had swamperts survive a max special attack Kingdra's HP Grass.

    • Mudkip all the way. I've always liked water type and made it a tradition to start with water type with every new game that comes out.

    I was still new to Ruby when I got it and didn't know what it evolved into so I was surprised at how powerful it was.

    • Honestly, I loved all 3 of them. And Sceptile is one of my favorite grass types period.

    In terms of use though, Blaziken got replaced by Infernape.

    Also, hilariously enough, Swampert didn't help me much against Liza and Tate. Absol was pretty much my trump card against them.
