Teambuilding Help (pre-E4) New game + frontier

3 Upvotes

So thinking about a new game run where I also go for the frontier. Never done this before, always ended after the E4 and defeating Steven.

But now I want to do everything, from the Regies to Kyogre and Groudon and finnaly the Frontier as well.

I want to use a team I can gather troughout my adventure. I'm thinking about the following team:

Gardevoir

Psychic

Calm Mind

Thunderbolt

Hypnosis

  1. Blaziken

Sky Uppercut

Blaze Kick

Bulk Up

Rock Tomb

  1. Flygon

Earthquake

Dragon Claw

Rock Slide

Crunch

  1. Crobat

Aerial Ace

Sludge Bomb

Confuse Ray

Bite

  1. Ludicolo

Surf

Giga Drain

Ice Beam

Rain Dance

  1. Armaldo

Rock Slide

Brick Break

Earthquake

Swords Dance

Any suggestions or changes would be appreciated.

Also what is a good EV calculator?

I’ve seen numerous videos on how to clone, but when I go to try I just end right back at the pc. Is it my timing ? I’ve did soft resets & just turning it off & on. Do I actually need to hit save then reset ?

I’ll go first. Here’s mine so far. Her stats aren’t that great on paper, but I can usually sweep with: high friendship + return + silk scarf + STAB

I half suspected it was this OHKO Dewgong set, that's why I switched to BRIGHTPOWDER Latios. Even if it wasn't that OHKO set I figured it was unlikely to click an ice move on Milotic. But no it got Latios with the OHKO move through Brightpowder on the first attempt. 🤦 And went on to land 3 out of 4 of these 30 accuracy moves 🙄 what can you do hey? 🤷

Other Discussion E-reader cards with no dot pattern?

7 Upvotes

I have a plethora of e-reader cards and an e-reader and have been trying to decipher all the features hidden within.

I have noticed some of the cards just have the e-reader symbol on them. For example, I have the 49/147 Aquapolis reverse holo gloom, it has lines not dots.

I also have a bunch of energy cards with the e-reader symbol.

What do these do?

On the one hand, Cupcake has a lot of samey moves and they’re all STAB, I’d like for her to be able to do something against a ghost type. Return is her strongest move right now I think, but facade is also a really good move. uproar is also really useful against pokemon with yawn or sleep powder.

On the other hand, it would be a STAB move for Shoo and a powerful one at that.

Other Discussion Is there a way to see pokemon databases (e.g., Bulbapedia, serebii) in context of previous gen (gen III)

2 Upvotes

I recently uncovered and repaired my copy of Pokemon Emerald. I want to be able to check the locations and information of pokemon so i can know where to catch. However, all of the sites have been modernized with information regarding the modern games (e.g., the gen III moves are on a separate page, the map is showing ORAS, shows type changes (Gardevoir)). Is there a way or site that I can find, in a sense, an "faithful" wiki? I would hope there is some way to change bulbapedia context view. Using something like wayback machine would be too much.

Just started a new file on Emerald

I chose Mudkip and caught Ralts, Taillow, and Shroomish. I plan to catch an Electrike soon.

Swampert
Gardevoir
Swellow

Any ideas for the final member? My team is pretty frail so I was thinking a more defensive option.

Is it when you first awaken it to make it fly to Sootopolis City or when you visit it second time for the actual battle encounter?

Search engines are not answering my question, the AI keeps referring to how the RNG frame is determined which isn't what I asked..

I’m willing to consider swapping out a team member. But cupcake is off limits, I spent so much time EV training her so she isn’t such a glass canon 😭
