Hi and thank you for taking the time to read this
So here's the deal: I've recently found my old GBA SP with pokemon Emerald cartridge. And it seemed like a cool idea to beat the Battle Frontier.
However most team guides refer to pokemon that aren't obtainable with this game alone like Suicune, Blissey and Alakazam, they require trading and that's something I can't do since I only have one working GBA. And I'm the eldest among my friends so the others only have gen IV games and up. Some of the pokemon that seem like good picks to me are:
Salamence
Heracross
Metagross
Slaking
Gardevoir
Starmie
Breloom
Shedinja
That problem aside I am willing to put a lot of effort in, my dumb younger self used the EQ TM on a playthrough pokemon so I'm currently using lvl 91 Linoones to grind for it with the pickup ability. However my dumb younger self also already used the Brick Break TM and you can't get another one of those as far as I know. Also I've picked Latias instead of Latios and only later found out that Latios is more useful in the BF.
I'd rather not start a new game because I have over 240 hours in this save file and it took me a lot of time to get the symbol at the Battle Factory. (Yes I already have that one since it doesn't require an EV trained team)
So yeah, no RNG abusing since it's an OG cartridge, no Gameshark cause I don't have one of those, I do know how to do the cloning glitch in the Battle Tower, I used that to clone the Linoone a few times to hopefully get EQ faster. Which pokemon should I start breeding and training?
Thanks again for reading, any help is appreciated but please keep it at least civil-ish
