3rd Gen Your Pokémon Team

[shadowedness]

Also note that there is no correlation between when you evolve a Poke and the stats it gains. Every Shroomish/Breloom follows the same pattern. The only difference is the IVs that it has and the EVs that you give it. Do note though, that the only way to get Spore onto a baby Shroomish is to have both the father AND the mother to know it. That means you have to raise another Shroomish to Lv54.

Lastly, Torkoal cannot learn Earthquake at all. Personally, I wouldn't use Torkoal at all, but it is your team.

Actually, for a pokemon to learn an egg move only the father has to know the move (how else can Salamence learn Hydro Pump by breeding with a male Kingdra), so don't bother training up another Shroomish unless your current one is female.

I assumed Torkoal learns earthquake because other Fire Pokemon such as Charizard and Blaziken can also learn it, and I think Magcargo can.

Okay, you are confusing what Egg moves are. Egg moves are special moves that certain Pokes can ONLY learn through breeding. Since Spore is learned by Shroomish at Lv54, it is NOT an Egg move. Here is a list of the Egg moves that Shroomish can learn only through breeding:

Charm
Fake Tears
False Swipe
Helping Hand
Swagger

While it is true that Egg moves (and TM moves) can be passed on with only the father needing to know the move (as you said correctly in your Hydro Pump example), the only way a baby can be born with a learned move (i.e. Spore) is if BOTH parents know that move. So, in order to get a baby Shroomish with Spore, BOTH parents must know it.

As for the non-Earthquake Torkoal, I would be very careful assuming that just because one Poke of a certain type knows a certain move that all the others should too. That is rarely the case. For example, out of the 28 Fire-types in the game, only 7 of them can learn Earthquake.

I would either study the movepool of each Poke at www.smogon.com or I would download the extremely helpful offline program from www.metalkid.info like I have.

Why do you have 2 Explouds and why hasn't Combusken evolved into Blaziken yet?

 

[shanecdavis]

Because, as she said, she wants you to be able to beat that team. A Gengar makes that entire team cry.

 

[Ninja Monkey]

I have an in game only team worked out so far, but I can't think of what I don't have a counter to. I have an open spot, any advice on what I need? Movesets would be nice too, but it's no big deal.

Flygon
Dragon Claw
Earthquake
2 other moves I haven't decided on yet

Houndoom
Crunch
Flamethrower
Again, missing 2 moves

Espeon
Psybeam(more PP than Psychic, and you don't need all that power in the normal game)
Shadow Ball(covers some weaknesses I think...)
Calm Mind
Undecided move

Sceptile
Leaf Blade
3 missing moves this time

Heracross
I don't know what moves to use, I just want to finally use this little guy!

EDIT: And I can also get just about any pokemon out there, I'm using the rom hack Emerald ++.

 

[Angelic Diablo]

I believe for Houndoom you should make the last two moves Sunny Day and Solarbeam

 

[Dee Trier]

Current Battle tournament/dome team
Salamence
Rock Slide
Flamethrower
Crunch
Dragon Claw

Gengar
Ice Punch
Thunder Bolt
Psychic
Gigadrain

Metagross
Thunder Punch
Meteor Mash
Explosion
Psychic

I'll replace one of gengar's move with f punch if it can and maybe replace salamence afterward

Flygon @ Choice Band / Shell Bell / Leftovers
Trait: Levitate
EVs: Max Atk, split HP and Spd
Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Fire Blast
- Quick Attack / Screech / Substitute
- Rock Slide
- Earthquake

2 other moves I haven't decided on yet

Fire Blast over Dragon Claw to take out the Pokes that can resist your other attacks. Quick Attack is an Egg move, but great at finishing off weak Pokes, Screech and Substitute can also be very helpful.

Houndoom @ Leftovers
Trait: Early Bird
EVs: Max SAtk and Spd
Timid Nature (+Spd, -Atk)
- Sludge Bomb
- Will-O-Wisp / Charm
- Fire Blast
- Crunch

Again, missing 2 moves

Some will suggest the Sunny Day/Solarbeam combo, but I oppose that. Will-O-Wisp cuts physical hits in half and then adds burn damage. Charm is similar in nature, as it does cut the opponents Atk, but while it doesn't include a burn it is a move that it learns naturally. Sludge Bomb is a great Ludicolo counter.

Espeon @ Leftovers / Lum Berry
Trait: Synchronize
EVs: Balance HP, SDef, and Spd
Calm Nature (+SDef, -Atk) or Timid Nature (+Spd, -Atk)
- Baton Pass
- Psychic
- Substitute / Morning Sun[/b]
- Calm Mind

Undecided move

NEVER use Psybeam over Psychic. Psybeam is only 65 AP while Psychic is 90 AP. In-game battles don't last long enough for PP to even be an issue. If you are that concerned about PP, then use 3 PP Up. An Espeon without Psychic is a very sad Espeon indeed. Instead of Shadow Ball (which is a physical attack), I would use Bite (which is a special attack) to take advantage of Espeon's MUCH higher base SAtk, which is twice as much as its base Atk (130 compared to a crappy 65). That said, I wouldn't use Bite either. You already have Houndoom as a great counter. I would go with Baton Pass and then either Substitute or Morning Sun in the last slot. Personally, I would use Gardevoir over Espeon, but it is your team.

Sceptile @ Leftovers
Trait: Outgrow
EVs: Max SAtk and Spd
Timid Nature (+Spd, -Atk)
- Leech Seed
- Thunderpunch
- Substitute
- Leaf Blade

3 missing moves this time

The bad thing about Sceptile and Blaziken is that neither one can achieve their best moveset until well after the Weak5. Sceptile can be very effective once you get Thunderpunch. Leech Seed is an Egg move and Substitute is a Move Tutor move. This is precisely why Swampert has no equal.

Heracross @ Leftovers
Trait: Guts
EVs: Max Atk and Spd
Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Brick Break / Rock Slide
- Megahorn
- Rest
- Sleep Talk

I don't know what moves to use, I just want to finally use this little guy!

Stalkercross. Put this thing to sleep to heal HP and status, and then let Guts Trait kick in. When it attacks while asleep, this guy does TONS of damage.

EDIT: And I can also get just about any pokemon out there, I'm using the rom hack Emerald ++.

Since you are cheating anyway, you might as well add Swampert since you are definitely needing it.

Swampert @ Leftovers / Chesto Berry
Trait: Torrent
Evs: High HP and then balance Atk, Def, and SDef
Relaxed Nature (+Def, -Spd)
- Earthquake
- Ice Beam / Rock Slide
- Rest / Protect
- Surf / Hydro Pump / Curse

The best starter ever. A STAB Ground AND Water move on the same Poke is huge. Its typing is also the best in the game since you hardly see any Grass-types that can give you problems in-game. Swampert can take on the Weak5 by itself, without having to level it up higher than the Pokes you face there. Ice Beam also covers its only weakness. Rest allows it to tank better and Chesto Berry allows one free Rest, which is also huge.

Thanks for the suggestions. I'm not cheating though, I'm using a rom hack.

You still have to catch them yourself.

Technically using a ROM hack is kinda like cheating if it allows you to catch every Pokemon legally but oh well, I can't tell you not otherwise I'd be a hypocrite.
