My last run of Emerald Legacy for a while. I did a team of mons with 9 letters.
>Gardevoir
Ralts evolves earlier and Charm/Psybeam are new level up moves but Psychic is learned much later to compensate.
>Ninetales (+5 HP, Defense, Sp.Attack, -5 Attack)
You can catch Vulpix on Route 116 now as a nice early game mon. Special Shadow Ball was a welcome addition.
>Salamence
I was initially planning to use Manectric but I wanted a flyer to make the annoying late game quicker and it didn't get any notable changes aside from starting with Thundershock. You can catch Bagon early at Meteor Falls (4%).
>Azumarill (+20 Sp.Attack)
Marill can be caught eariler on Route 104. It's often safe to switch in to.
>Piloswine (+20 Sp.Attack, Sp.Defense)
Found on Shoal Cave. Not as fun to use as Sneasel in the campaign but I imagine it has potential in the Battle Frontier.
>Vileplume (+15 HP, +10 Defense)
Nothing worth mentioning.
