Use whatever you like, these games are easy as fuck. If you're literally retarded though, pick Torchic. You can solo the whole fucking game with Blaziken if you felt like it. I usually always have a Flygon with me (memes aside). Get a Lonely or Naughty one and teach it

It will be your best friend.

Pick Treecko because Sceptile is unusable in later gens
Get a whismur in the cave by rustboro, Exploud is bae. Tropius best hm slave around.

>>26707238

Pick Blaziken at the beginning because it's OP. Picking Treecko will make your second rival fight way too hard whereas Combusken can do really well.

Tropius and Gyarados are the two HM slaves you should use.

So you've got your starter, tropius, and gyarados.

Other good picks can be Ralts (for eventual gardevoir) if it's Modest. Flygon is good as noted above. Basically all you need.

What does that have to do with an in-game run of Emerald? retards pls go

but seriously OP, just pick what you like, the game is easy as fuck, but if you suck ass, pick Blaziken, it's unstoppable

>>26707295
I'm saying the run in emerald is the only chance you're ever gonna use sceptile without him just being dead weight on your team

What should I get from the first few routes?

>>26707338

A ralts

>>26707348
this

But make sure you have an HM slave. Limit your team to only 5 guys +1 slave. Lots of HMs in Hoenn.

Box your starter and do a monotype dark run. Hoenn's great for that

Mightyena
Shiftry
Cacturne
Sableye
Absol

>>26707337
Why would you do a run in any other game apart from ORAS with one?

If dubs, you must train a Cradily.

Last reroll.

>>26707238
If you pick Treecko, get based Numel.

>>26707238
pick sceptile for end gym and champion, use sableye for your dad, use masterball on rayquaza for easy wins and capture a wobuffet to make latios/ latias unable to flee

>not two slaves for all hms

>>26707338
Slakoth and shroomish

get a whismur
rest+sleep talk is where it's at, also hyper voice and you get stab for hyper beam

since i don't want to start a new thread for this and it's also emerald, im putting this here

in breeding, everything i've seen says that moves the baby would learn at a higher level can overwrite the moves the baby would knowat level five. but i breed a male ralts:
1.destiny bond
2.psychic
3.hypnosis
4.dream eater

and a female ralts:
1.calm mind
2.psychic
3.hypnosis
4.dream eater

and i get this:
1.growl
2.destiny bond
3.psychic
4.hypnosis

does anyone know why growl seems to overwrite dream eater, even thouh both parents know it?

Dark is all special in Emerald. It hurts Mightyena and Absol a lot. Everything else should be fine.
