Welcome to Smogon! Take a moment to read the Introduction to Smogon for a run-down on everything Smogon, and make sure you take some time to read the global rules.
March 19th will mark the ten year anniversary of Ruby and Sapphire's release in North America.
I will delve into the good and the bad of the third gen, as well if we should be looking forward to a remake in the future.
I actually beat the game with every pokemon type. I used these twelve.
Serperior
Emboar
Samurott
Sigilyph
Excadrill
Vannillice( not sure of actual name):
Gigalith
Hydreigon
Cofagrigus
Scolipede
Eelectrik
Stoutland
Please rate these twelve
@KickAsh If you don't run maximum speed then there is no point to having a Serperior. You don't want to lower defense or special defense ,so you cut down on the attack stat you are not using.
I think that Heracross will add much needed diversity to the UU metagame giving the UU a viable Venasaur check and bringing in physically defensive Weezing and Bulky Arcanine.
Lol a great warstory I sympathize with you on how in the beginning you got outpredicted and over powered( 70% percent to a heatran xD). I totally thought it was an awesome way to lose with hax. Well at least your Gyarados wasn't defeated by a scarfed physical Alakazam.
I think that roost is a definite plus due to removing the quadruple ice weakness and rock weakness. Air slash has I believe only 70 base power and is not paired well offensively with grass only. On sets Chlorophyll would be better since double speed is needed ,and Tropius needs all the Hp it can...
Why doesn't somebody try a Garchomp set just for phazing. Have a Garchomp use substitute on a predicted switch and then rack up entry hazard using dragon tail a superior phazing move since it doesn't give the user negative priority.
