Help with teambuilding accepted. I'd also like to hear some info on Pokemon and items.
One of my biggest problems with RSE was always that you need Good Rod to find all the good Hoenn Water-types like Wailmer, Barboach, and Carvanha, but in order to get Good Rod you already have to use Surf, at which point you probably already have a surfer, not to mention that you've beaten over half of the game. I don't want to use Pokebank during my first playthrough, so I'd like to know whether I can find any decent Hoenn Water-types (preferably Wailmer or Sharpedo) during the first half of the game.
Another thing that I've been thinking is the availability of Mega Stones. What Mega Stones can I find during the main game and at which point? I could use Sableye if I can find the Mega Stone at some earlyish part of the game. Other than that, I've been trying to use Pokemon that I haven't had in my team before in any other game. Here's what I have been planning:
>Blaziken
>Ludicolo / Breloom
>Swalot
>Aggron
>Exploud / Some Water-type
>Something that flies (Latias? Flygon?)
Sorry for any possible typos, I'm tired as fuck and should be sleeping already.
