    Default Help me build a simple team ..

    OK, I start playing RS few days ago.
    Right now im in dewford city, but i'm using only one pokemon (Cumbusken).
    I would like to get another one, or maybe even two for the next town.
    Now, this team is not going to be a serious team, since its only team that will help me finishing the story-mode so i'll be able to start the real training.
    Therefore I dont need a really powerful team and moves which I cant get by leveling up.
    Just a simple list of pokemon, that will balance each other concerning types and that will have nice stats and combo-moves that can be learn by leveling up. and if you can, please explain why you suggesting this team.

    Sorry again for thoses newbies questions ..

    They're very rare if you can't yet use Rock Smash, but you might want to get a Geodude from Dewford's Granite Cave. The next Gym will be Electric-type, so a Ground-type that's also resistant to Normal should be a big help.
    Combusken and Geodude are both weak against Ground and Water, though, so you should get a pokémon that can handle both...you can get the Old Rod in Dewford, so you can catch a Magikarp and raise it so that it evolves into Gyarados. Geodude and Gyarados cover most of each other's weaknesses, and Gyarados can learn all three water HMs (very bad idea for tournament battle, but helpful for getting through the game.)

    Well I find a Ralts is a good Pokemon to use. They are psychic types and found, well, at the spot where Wally catches his, East of Petalburg. I found mine to be a valuable asset.

    If you want, you could get the Fire/Water/Grass cycle. Shroomish are good grass types, with their effect spore. In RUBY you can catch Seedot, and in Sapphire Lotad are available. Lotad is grass AND water, an interesting combo.

    Water types, as well as utilising Lotad's water type, once you pick up the Old Rod in Dewford you can get yourself Magikarp, Tentacool or Goldeen, I think, by fishing in any body of water.

    Fire Types are rare until later in the game. Slugma, Torkoal and Vulpix are available, as well as Torchic, of course.

    Also, raising an ABRA found in Granite Cave can be good. Theyre nice psy-types.

    Default My run through team:

    I have a team that I use every time I go through the game and it's awesome for just completing story mode. I have an extra Saphire that I play through at least once every 2 weeks to get all the TM's and lots of Master Balls. I use pokemon for 1 or 2 moves on a team because I have the switch ability to use whenever I've KOed a poke. These are what I pick up along the way and they're very useful! Here's the team:

    Torchic (starter)
    -Fire Move
    -Fighting Move

    Geodude (get in Granite Cave)
    -Rock Move
    -Ground Move

    Sableye (Granite Cave)
    -Ghost Move
    -Teach it Psychic

    Gyrados (HM slave) (Old Rod Anywhere then lvl up magicarp)
    -Surf
    -Dive
    -Waterfall
    -Rock Smash

    Tropius (Another HM slave) (Route 119)
    -Grass Move (Magical Leaf)
    -Fly
    -Strength
    -Cut or filler move

    Kecleon (Fortree City)
    -Slash
    -Psybeam/Shadow Ball
    -Ice Beam
    -Flamethrower/Thunderbolt

    Any of those moves are fine on Kecleon. This team sux bad in tournament or competative play, but in game it's awesome. Kecleon is just a clean up crew that can be customized pretty easily. SB, IB, Flamethrower, and T-Bolt are all TM's, but he's worth it. This game whould get ya through the game w/o much of a problem!

    I was thinking to use Slakoth but then I noticed that he act well as physical sweeper, but I alreday use Blazkien as physical sweeper. And he have this ability that makes him only attack onces per two times.

    What is the common use for slakoth? Physical Sweeper ? his attack is very high ( so is HP and Defense .. )

    Slakoth evolves at Level 18, so if you just get it to that level it will no longer have thr Truant ability. It will have Vital Spirit, which stops it from being put to sleep. I prefer Vigoroth to Slaking anyway.
