The Official Pokemon Ruby/Sapphire Thread

[Uncle Xyzzy]

Ya, i beat the first 50 in the battle tower (100) (i got to 70).
I got ribbons on a team i wouldnt expect to receive them.

This is the team i used (-_-).

Torkoal (Coal)(M)@Quick Claw
Flamethrower
Eruption
Body Slam
Amnesia

Shedinja (dinja) @ Choice Band
Shadow Ball
Secret Power
Confuse Ray
Grudge
(Really needs a replacement for grudge and confuse ray)

Walrein (Rin)(F) @ Leftovers
Attract
Encore
Surf
Icebeam
(This move set has been working well)

I might need just a little help on my shedinja. And EGG moves dont help me NOW. (Their lvl 100)

I really only need to tell you 1 member of my team:

Rayquaza (lv. 96) Amulet Coin

Fly
Hyper Beam (for contests)
Dragon Claw
Dragon Rage

Ok, requaza may be nice for the game playing, but for fighting other people, it needs lots of work.
Your rayquazas only "good" move is Dragon Claw. All the others need to be changed if you want to fight other people well.
Just try out some combinations with him.
1-2 physical attacks, 2-3 Special Attacks.

My idea for mine is:

Raquaza@Naive
Dragon Claw
Ice Beam
Earthquake
Brick Break

There probably is better, but this works for mine.

What are Brick Break's stats? When I last checked it, I don't remember liking it...

[Asthaloth]

it has a base power of 70, but also breaks an opponents shield (light screen...and the other one) its saved my tuckas plenty enough times i can tell you.

as for me needing help, i need to win the Tough contest.
ive tried, Woboffet (maxed toughness) dont hafta tell you its moves, it can only learn four.
has enough hearts for the painting, but never wins

Serviper (again maxed tough)
moves....eeerrrmmmm (hurrys off to get gameboy)
Wrap (3, stops exitement)
lick (1, 4 jam on last pokemon to make an appeal)
Bite (1, 3 jam)
thief -appeal is as good as last pokemons appeal +1
wins, but not enough hearts.

regirock (yet again, tough maxed)
rock throw (2, works better if same type as last opponents appeal)
Curse (3, next appeal made later)
superpower (6, easily startled)
ancientpower (1, ups condition, prevents nervousness)
wins, but not enough hearts.

it goes without saying i have the yellow scarve.

[DiscordantNote]

Well, I decided to defeat Groudon instead of catch it because it took too much effort to catch it (it killed off my team before I could anyway) and I wanted to save the Master ball for Latios. Well, my new team is as follows (minus move sets and items, those will change)

Ralts (in training)(Psychic)
Blaziken (Fire/Fighting)
Lanturn (Water/Electric)
Skarmory (Steel/Flying)
Vibrava (Ground/Dragon)
Oddish (in training)(Grass/Poison)

So...I need some suggestions. Should Oddish become Vileplume or Bellossom? Is there any Pokemon you'd recommend being replaced for something else (not legendary, keep in mind the two that are in training)?

[jellyoflight]

I completed it...it was the 1st pokemon game I had completed..EVER!


Then I started again. And ended up taking the batterys out to put in my personal CD player.

And now I'm going to start again because I lost trail. Bleh. It was actually mainly Groudon and Blaziken that beat the final opponent.

[Baby Poogle Eater]

I beat sapphire twice and ruby once, and now I'm doing an all-grass team on my sapphire. It's fun, but you need a lot of leveling up and zigzagoons for their ability, pickup.

[Caesara]

Has anybody ever beaten Flannery with just a Sceptile? I know it's possible, and I'm going to do it, I just need help. Her Torkoal keeps getting me with overheat. (My Sceptile is at level 39. I'm playing Sapphire.)

I can't seem to come up with a strategy to get rid of that stupid Torkoal..

I know one. Level up your Sceptile and only your Sceptile 'til it's like, level 60. That's how I beat all the other Gym Leaders with my Blaziken.

*tries not to laugh hysterically at this propostorous proposition.*

I'd suggest you look for any moves that go well vs. fire. Such as Rock Tomb.

[Caesara]

Level 60? Try to remember that I'm on FLANNERY. It's the fourth gym badge. *Knocks on Zero's head* I'm afraid I'm not going to attempt level 60 for a while..

I don't think I have Rock Tomb as a TM. *Turns on her GBA to check*

[Atamand]

Where's the best place to level up ? I'm trying to get some of my party to level 100, now that I achieved my first goal, beating the Elite Four and the rival with one Pokemon (a level 68 Blaziken and many Full Restores). Any ideas?

What I do is go underwater near Ever Grande and just search through the grass. Usually the pokemon are pretty high-leveled.

Take Exp. Share and put on whatever Pokemon you want to level up. Go to Elite Four. Rinse. Repeat.

Unfortunately, I have a glitch in my game now that dosen't let days pass. I can't get new berries, nor can I battle people again... any way I can fix this?
