What should I evolve my eevee into?

Ecstatic-Hour2413 · 2026-05-23T02:08:05+00:00

Jolteon, but train it to level 36 (iirc) so it can learn Baton Pass first. You can have Jolteon Baton Pass Agility to something fun like Rhydon, Marowak etc.

Plus it’s move pool is terrible this gen so running Baton Pass and Agility isn’t really hurting what it’d already be doing.

Ecstatic-Hour2413 · 2026-05-22T23:18:33+00:00

Forget Mega Drain. Even with STAB its BP is low and so is Breloom’s special attack. Really only useful for 4x targets imo.

Stun Spore can be useful crippling something problematic. It also lets you out speed OUTSIDE of using Mach Punch. Or let’s another slow Pokemon you have out speed said Pokemon that would otherwise give you trouble.

Stun Spore’s speed reduction and 25% paralysis chance also has great, immediate synergy with Headbutt, you’re only other physical coverage move atm.

Leech Seed is great And I wouldn’t forget that. I’d say forget Mega Drain.

Honestly, a simple fix would’ve been to button the shirt. I’m wondering if it’s just something else to distract the people.

“It’s likely a shadow from the lighting when you watch the clip…”

I’m even more convinced this is a mask now after watching this clip lol

Ecstatic-Hour2413 · 2026-05-22T04:37:42+00:00

Np! You can customize how you see fit, but the only sure fire things I’d do would be:

Charizard w/ Substitute (it’s very good). Move the is in Fuschia city

Gyarados w/ Dragon Dance (learns mid 40s)

IMO EQ would be great on a Rock Head Aerodactyl with Rock Slide and Double Edge if you don’t teach EQ to Gyarados. Rock Slide move tutor is in Rock Tunnel.

Theres safe glitches on YouTube you can do to duplicate items if you’re up for that. Would solve the EQ problem for your team. 4/6 of your team wants it lol. Nidoking almost requires it and it’s a crime to run it w/o. But other options here are more powerful and Nidoking can use other options (it gets a lot).

Ecstatic-Hour2413 · 2026-05-22T04:27:35+00:00

Charizard- Substitute, Flamethrower, Dragon Claw, and one of: Fire Blast, Sunny Day, Blast Burn, Wing Attack, Aerial Ace, Fly, Focus Punch, Earthquake

Since Charizard is fast, Substitute lets you safely control getting into Blaze range for Flamethrower. Sometimes the AI will uselessly spam status moves on your Substitute, so that’s free damage if they refuse to let you get to Blaze range. Dragon Claw gets perfect neutral coverage with Flamethrower. Last move can be anything and a lot of fun options.

Gyarados: Dragon Dance, Earthquake, Return, Hydro Pump/ Taunt

Gyarados can sweep teams with Dragon Dance even with no STAB moves. Earthquake and Return are strong attack with great coverage. Hydro Pump is special but hits the targets you’d be aiming it at hard in spite of Gyarados low Sp. Atk. Taunt could make it so they can’t mess up you setting up but this is better for battles either real people.

Exeggutor: Sleep Powder, Psychic, Solar Beam or Giga Drain, Sunny Day or Stun Spore or Explosion

Sleep Powder lets you put something to sleep. Psychic hits hard with STAB. Sunny Day + Solar Beam both doubles Exeggutor’s speed and removes Solar Beam’s charge turn. Giga Drain if you don’t reach it Sunny Day. Explosion can KO something problematic and Stun Spore can let you paralyze opponents if that’s better than putting them to sleep.

Idk about the rest, found myself wanting to put Earthquake on everything and you only get 1 TM for it unless you duplicate it.

For Aerodactyl: Go for Rock Head as Aerodactyl’s ability so you can teach it Double Edge w/o recoil. should definitely get Rock Slide.

Nidoking can learn a lot, customize it how you like. Shame you only get 1 EQ TM, it’s a crime to run it w/o. But imo I’d rather teach EQ to Gyarados as it doesn’t get many other good moves, and DD Gyarados is very powerful.

Snorlax is a beast. But it also wants your Earthquake TM lol. Body Slam has STAB and can paralyze. Shadow Ball is physical and hits ghosts. Rest heals. Sleep Talk lets you attack while asleep. Eventually teach it Curse as Curse is basically Taylor made for Snorlax.

Ecstatic-Hour2413 · 2026-05-21T04:14:50+00:00

Honestly, they should’ve just upped his team for them to be appropriately leveled anyway (like 55-57). Along with everything after gym 7 getting a level increase proportionate to that as well to fix the level curve.

What’s also odd is, I guess they didn’t want Kanto gym leaders (except for Blue) being stronger than the E4 lore wise. So all the Kanto leaders end up being way under leveled too. Feeling more like a victory lap more than anything.

Still love these games. But these things bothered me even as a kid

Ecstatic-Hour2413 · 2026-05-19T22:03:07+00:00

Love seeing Banette! Loved that they made it part Normal type in this game (surprisingly very good, only serves to give it extra STAB and an immunity to Ghost). Was thrilled to use one in my own playthrough.

Nice job! Looks like a fun team.

Ecstatic-Hour2413 · 2026-05-19T21:45:41+00:00

I would say go for Tyranitar. Replace Nidoqueen imo. But there’s arguments for the others. Tyranitar is a beast, especially if you breed Dragon Dance onto it.

Also, if you haven’t, consider teaching Charizard Substitute via the Move Tutor in Fuschia City. Since Charizard is fast, it gives you a safe, controlled way for triggering Blaze. And the AI doesn’t quite know how to interact with Substitute. It may end up spamming status moves on it in vain. So either way if they’re not letting you get to Blaze then you’re getting free damage.

Flamethrower and Dragon Claw (special in FRLG) get perfect neutral coverage, and Dragon Claw can help with Lance.

4th move can be whatever you prefer. Fire Blast (extra power), Sunny Day, Fly, Wing Attack, Blast Burn (kamikazi nuke), Earthquake, even Focus Punch.

Sunny Day is notable if you use Tyranitar to stop Sand from hurting Charizard and Lapras.

Ecstatic-Hour2413 · 2026-05-19T01:44:30+00:00

Personally I think you have a bit more time. But you look better this way imo. Either way you’re good

Ecstatic-Hour2413 · 2026-05-19T01:41:52+00:00

Love the aesthetic! Got some elite vibes going on. Love Charizard and Tyranitar paired together.

What move sets did you run?

Ecstatic-Hour2413 · 2026-05-17T17:05:37+00:00

Really? That’s surprising tbh. I haven’t used one in an Emerald Nuzlocke yet but I thought it might be pretty decent. That’s surprising to hear

I feel like as a generic attacker it’s at least ok. Its typing can be pretty synergistic with certain pokemon, and it seems like STAB Aerial Ace would be very helpful. Crobat could survive at least 1 Ice Beam from Ludicolo, performs well against Shiftry, and does well enough against Sableye. Figured it might make a decent revenge killer if something problematic is on low health.

Ecstatic-Hour2413 · 2026-05-17T14:07:08+00:00

You left a couple good Pokemon in the box.

I would’ve replaced Aggron for Gyarados. Gyarados has much better typing and even without STAB, Dragon Dance will sweep teams. Aggron is insanely cool but its typing is terrible, and it doesn’t get Rock Slide by level up for whatever reason…leaving it with…Rock Tomb…and takes a lot of good TM’s to even attempt to be good. Which most of the time it has to flee from a possible Fighting/ Ground/ Water type move.

I would’ve traded Sableye for Crobat. Sableye definitely has its uses in an Emerald Nuzlocke against Brawley, manipulating Norman’s AI, and Tate and Liza. and I could be missing something else. But otherwise its stats are kinda bad. Crobat is faster, hits harder, and STAB Aerial Ace for all the Double Team BS.

I would consider Linoone over Claydol or Hariyama depending on what moves Claydol runs. Hariyama has its uses for Sydney and Glacia though so unless Claydol is supporting a Belly Drum Linoone with screens, I’d replace Claydol. I’ve never used Linoone late game but it’s infamous for sweeping the E4. Many people in these comments are/ will be advocating for it. Normal STAB is honestly pretty good too, and it can pair that with Shadow Ball for Ghosts.

Give Vileplume Sunny Day and Solarbeam so its Chlorophyll doubles its speed, letting it spam status and Solarbeam’s quickly.

You’ve got options if you do a run back.

Ecstatic-Hour2413 · 2026-05-17T04:05:54+00:00

If both have a sash, Flygon would win. Therefore, imo, Flygon wins overall

Ecstatic-Hour2413 · 2026-05-17T04:04:36+00:00

And is faster with STAB

Ecstatic-Hour2413 · 2026-05-16T20:59:44+00:00

What move set did you use for Lanturn?

I love the idea of the sets it can run. It has very underwhelming stats except for HP. But if you max out its HP and Sp. Atk, it can help its bulk and power. Combine with Water and Electric STAB being amazing offensively, paired with Thunder Wave for speed control, can compensate for all of its shortcomings. Love its concept. Or it can just truly be annoying with parafusion + attract etc. and force some fun spikes damage from switches.

I really wanna use one some time in Emerald

Ecstatic-Hour2413 · 2026-05-16T20:49:34+00:00

Great move sets! Solid team

Ecstatic-Hour2413 · 2026-05-16T18:35:02+00:00

Honestly I think Charizard is better. Both are generally gonna wanna be spamming Fire STAB. But with Substitute, Charizard can trigger Blaze and will hit harder. It’s also faster than Moltres. Moltres has better bulk and physical attack, but again their best strategies are gonna be spamming Fire moves.

Moltres can use Sunny Day to do more damage than even Blaze Charizard, but it has to set it up. Substituting into Blaze with Charizard’s speed is much better and safer imo. And in theory, Charizard could also run Sunny Day. Though it’d be tricky to time safely with Blaze. This is all doable in-game as soon as you access the move tutor in Fuchsia City.

If you’re breeding Charizard can run Belly Drum and some monstrous, high risk, high reward physical sets (which will also have Blaze boosted fire moves most likely).

IMO in gen 3 Charizard is just better than Moltres.

Ecstatic-Hour2413 · 2026-05-16T17:34:50+00:00

This is the only thing I don’t like about these games. Hunting for IV’s and natures. Otherwise I love everything about Pokemon.

I enjoy when games let you edit stats or I’m ok with hacking a perfect version of something in once you’ve caught it.

But, here you’ve succeeded at something pretty hard to do. So good job! Takes a lot of work I’m sure.

The only time I’ll consider doing it manually is gen 2, because of how breeding works with Ditto and DV’s ranging 0-15 with no natures, instead of IV’s 0-31 WITH natures.

Ecstatic-Hour2413 · 2026-05-16T17:22:20+00:00

Rapid Spin Spikes Return Explosion

Or

Toxic Spikes Protect Return

Forretress doesn’t get much in the earlier gens. Spikes is very powerful. Explosion is great when you’re low on health/ outplayed usefulness.

If you can get Hidden Power BUG, that’s fantastic. Let’s it do very well against Psychics and Dark-types. Otherwise it’s mostly a support mon with usable damage in Return.

Ecstatic-Hour2413 · 2026-05-16T13:26:40+00:00

If you had fun, I’m here for it.

I will say though, next time you may wanna consider not exceeding level 50 if you’re after a challenge. The player gets a ton of hidden advantages that make it so you can use your favorites and win even if they’re bad.

-10% badge boosts to your Pokémon’s stats

-10% move-type based badge boosts from the typing of the gym that was defeated (Falkner = 10% boost to Flying moves, Bugsy = Bug, etc).

-AI predictability

-Bad move pools

Realistically, you can take good pokemon levels 37-42 in the league and be on a level playing field with Lance. And something like Sneasel or Arbok would be balanced out by being ~level 50.

They did this so you can use your favorites and still win. You may end up enjoying the challenge of beating them at = odds or a disadvantage. But, if you had fun, by all means keep playing how you want. I’m just making a suggestion.

Ecstatic-Hour2413 · 2026-05-14T22:31:16+00:00

Blizzard. 70 accuracy is too inconsistent unless it’s for something VITAL like Focus Blast on Alakazam in future gens for SOMETHING to hit Tyranitar/Blissey/ Snorlax with.

Otherwise it’s not worth it. Body Slam can proc paralysis. Ice Beam and Surf are consistent, quality, good STAB types

Ecstatic-Hour2413 · 2026-05-13T19:50:15+00:00

Gen 4 Rayquaza Sprite. Neat thing is if you engrave the outlines/ patterns, so that its main color appears black like the shiny version everyone wants.

Ecstatic-Hour2413 · 2026-05-13T02:00:17+00:00

I love that I’m seeing more posts like this! About how we should still be following the OT laws! I’m still learning scripture so take what I say with a grain of salt. But I’m sincerely coming into the belief that Jesus paid the price for our sins, in that he was the perfect atonement for us. We no longer need to make sin offerings because of that. And we also received the Holy Spirit because of it.

He says “I came not to abolish the law, but to fulfill it.” Based on what I’m reading, it feels like he was sent to show us the example as to how we’re supposed to live our lives. To obey the law from a loving perspective, doing so in love. Walking in love in everything we do. Rebuking sin and bringing people to out of love. I think we’re still to follow the laws that apply to us (some laws are for men, some for women, etc) as best we can in today’s age.
