I'm currently raising my ruby team on an emulator, just to test it out before I buy the actual game. That way I can tell which ones will help me and which ones won't. Anyway, I've got most of my team down, though I'm having second thoughts on Sharpedo...
Don't get me wrong, he's a great Pokemon and one of my personal favorites. He has incredable attacks and special attacks, not to mention he's very speedy, but his defenses are just too darn weak. It seems like even the slightest tap will faint this guy. He can't learn Reflect or Lightscreen either... :(
Ludicolo however, has better defenses and is part grass, which would help me greatly to defend my Blaziken and Manectric against Swamperts, Whiscash, and other ground and water stuff.
Here's my current team. As you can see I'm a fan of sweepers. While Sharpedo is a great sweeper, it might be best if I replaced him with another good water type like Ludicolo. What do you guys think?
Blaziken
Sky Uppercut
Bulk-up
Blaze Kick
Rock Tomb
Sharpedo
Crunch
Ice Beam
Earthquake*
Surf
**or**
Ludicolo
Mega Drain
Rain Dance
Ice Beam
Surf
Manectric
Thunderbolt
Roar
Thunder wave
Bite
Gardevoir
Psychic
Thunderbolt
Clear Mind
Safeguard
Flygon
Dragon Claw
Crunch
Flamethrower
Earthquake/Dig*
Exploud
Hyper Voice
Roar
Shadow Ball
Ice Beam
*Now, if I take Sharpedo off the team, then I can teach Flygon Earthquake. Otherwise, Flygon's going to end up learning Dig...
I have a feeling I know who Stickachu would choose... ( ;) ) But I want to know your guy's thoughts.
