ZOMG, the rater needs pokemon help!!!!111!!!!
Now, under normal conditions, I wouldn't. But in game, its a pain. Especially when I have requirements...
1.) This is before national dex, so only Hoenn 1-200 is acceptable
2.) Emerald only - no roselia, masquerain, medicham, zangoose, or lunatone. This also means only 1 starter, 1 fossil. Yes, I mean no trading - golem and machamp are unobtainable.
3.) TM Clause - the only tms that I can use are those that are unlimited though lilycove or mauville.
4.) No tutors - very simple. The only good ones are substitute, explosion, and double edge before the elites - no using them
5.) Limited breeding - don't tell me "get wailmer, and then breed this move onto him" because wailmer is too far outl.
6.) No legends - no Regice, no rayquaza - no discussion.
2 are already chosen - Gardevoir and Swampert. Movesets are:
Swampert
~Surf
~Ice Beam
~Earthquake
~Protect
Gardevoir
~Calm Mind
~Hypnosis
~Thunderbolt
~Psychic
The other 4 are negotiable:
Cacturne
~Faint attack
~Needle Arm
~Leech Seed
~???
I find a grass type necessary, but Ludicolo's best non-bred grass move is mega drain, with a whopping 40 base power. Wow, that does lots of damage
Rhydon/Graveler (no golem)
~EQ
~Rock Blast
~Mega Horn/Double Edge
~???/Explosion
Magneton/Manectric/Girafarig
~Thunderbolt
~Thunder/Agility
~Thunderwave/Psychic
~Metal Sound/???/Crunch
Ok, an explanation is needed - this is emerald, which means Wallace is the champion.
Manectric is good because it is available early on. Its movepool according to my criteria sucks. Thunder, thunderbolt, thunderwave.
Maneton is good - a bit slower, but it has more special attack and defenses. And it gets metal sound :O
Girafarig - good stats, and it can run T-bolt, Psychic, Crunch, and Agility or Thunder.
and then
Slaking
~Hyper Beam
~Slack off
~Focus Punch/Reversal
~Encore/Yawn
or
Breloom
~Spore
~Sky Uppercut
~Mach Punch
~Leech seed
or
Heracross/Pinsir
~False Swipe
~Brick Break
~Return/HP Bug (if I can)
~Megahorn/Swords Dance
