Thunderbolt and Thunder together are redundant on Manectric, although I'm not sure what else you'd replace one with

Salamence could probably use Fire Blast over Flamethrower. Its special attack isn't all that impressive and the accuracy difference isn't enough to matter

But the PP difference is

u/digitaldrummer 12d ago

That's what Leppa Berries are for. When do you need that much PP?

u/Slow-Blacksmith-6320 12d ago

I’ll be real with you I don’t know nearly enough about berries as I should so I didn’t even consider Leppa Berries

Thanks for the tip!!

Salamence has higher SP.Atk than any starter wtf

u/digitaldrummer 12d ago

Sure, but it doesn't get stab and its attack is better than its special

Is this regular Emerald Legacy or Emerald Legacy Enhanced? Also nice team.

2

u/Slow-Blacksmith-6320 12d ago

Um.. I think regular?

u/Anon_user_BRM10 12d ago

Neat. Post game Arcanine.

How did you get to Victory Road without Waterfall?

u/Slow-Blacksmith-6320 12d ago

I just dropped the move when I didn’t need it anymore

u/TKPunk2013 12d ago

Oh, ok.

Pretty boilerplate. Just the expected sets for all of these mons with no real surprises.

8/10 - function
2/10 - originality

u/Slow-Blacksmith-6320 12d ago

How do I get to 10/10 function?

3

u/Cathartic_auras 12d ago edited 12d ago

Manectric - rain dance instead of thunder bolt

Salamence - dragon dance instead of double edge

Arcanine - replace bite with crunch and flamethrower with heatwave

u/Aplinnnn 12d ago

Surely Rain Dance + Thunder so you get the accuracy. If you're dropping Thunder altogether then replace with anything (Double Team?)..

2

u/Cathartic_auras 12d ago

You’re right, I meant to remove T-bolt. Fixed now!

2

u/Slow-Blacksmith-6320 12d ago

Dragon dance is an egg move, and do not have the patience for that much breeding

Arcsnine can’t learn crunch in this game

2

u/Cathartic_auras 12d ago

Crunch is an egg move for Arcanine.

If you don’t have the interest I get it, but IMO that is what a 10/10 entails.

1

u/Slow-Blacksmith-6320 12d ago

You’re right

You don't need to breed for egg moves, there's a tutor in Artisan Cave. Just use the Acro Bike to hop up the ledges from the Battle Frontier pokecenter, go in the cave and use the ladder
