Just starting Emerald. How's my team so far?
Marill seemed pretty tough so I took it, might get rid of it later though.
Ralts seemed rare, so I grabbed it up.
Poochyena I could take or leave

Also, haven't played Pokemon in the last decade really, and never played Emerald.

Marill is pretty good but there's a lot of water types in Gen 3: I'd box him so you could use something different; Corphish, Carvanha,

Poochyena is just terrible.

pretty much this.

I'm assuming you know nothing about 3rd gen from what you said so keep an eye out for a water stone or you'll hate yourself later.

This.

Also note that Lombre doesn't learn many good moves through level up so you'll want to use some TMs on it if you want to keep him.

Ralts is rare. And it's a great pokémon, wrecks shit with a couple Calm Mind boosts and Psychic.
Torchic is a great choice for a starter.
Marill is pretty good once it evolves, it's a great tank and it can hit hard if it has the Huge Power ability and uses Rollout.
Lombre is also nice, Taillow too.
The team looks solid overall. Emerald is on hell of a great game, have fun!

You should keep those spots open for awhile, there are a lot of powerhouse pokemon you can't get yet that you might want.

100% correct.

will do, thanks.
>>12606599
I taught him Bullet Seed so far and he's been doing good with it.
>>12606612
Thanks!
>>12606619
Ok, should I use someone else for Cut? Or is it not really as needed in emerald?

Having and HM slave fill a slot untill you get a good pokemon to replace it is a good idea.

The only thing cut really opens up are optional battles and hidden secrets.

You don't really need Taillow, Marill and Poochyena, but the other three are pretty legit.

agreed, tho not sure about the tallow thing due to my knowledge of better flying types in this gen so I could segest getting swablu tho later on it gets a 4x weak to ice.
Wingul is good if you can get over the 4x weak to electric all the time.
trapinch later on is good but again 4x weak to ice and same with bagon.
all in all the flying types in this gen are shit anyways just use what you want OP

And there's a pretty good solution as to x4 weaknesses, that is

It's not too bad, but you could probably get something more interesting to Fly with, like a Crobat or an Altaria.

But hey, if you like it, it'll work. It's not quite useless like Poochyena.

also a good pokemon later on that was a bro for me in my run was Kecleon.
Its a special defence wall and with its colorchange ability it can make an even better wall. Tho you won't even see it till around the 6th gym its still a good option out there.

How's Sableye shit? I caught one on my Sapphire Nuzlocke run and it has just been wrecking everyone's shit. I don't know if it's just lucky or not, but practically every second or third move crits, it's fast as fuck and it's just a general bro all around.

Agreed. My first time playing ruby, I got a shroomish. It evolved into a breloom and the rape never stopped. When I first played emerald, I skipped shroomish because I already used him in ruby, so I got a lombre. It was shit. When it evolved, it was still shit. Third evolution, I figured it would finally start wrecking stuff. nope
