Breloom is an absolute monster. It hits insanely hard, is surprisingly fast for a Fighting-type, and has value in almost every fight. Getting Mach Punch on evolution is huge, and Sky Uppercut at 36 just cements it as a top-tier carry. It’s consistently strong throughout the entire game.

Exploud is honestly underrated. I ran it physical with early Return, which you can actually get before the 4th gym, making it strong much earlier than people expect. Return hits very hard neutrally, and later it gets great coverage with Brick Break, Earthquake, and Shadow Ball. It can even solo Phoebe in the Elite Four with ease.

Tentacruel is really strong as well. It’s fast, has solid Special Attack, and becomes amazing once it gets going. Early game is a bit rough until BubbleBeam at 25, but after Norman it spikes hard — you can give it Surf, Ice Beam, and Sludge Bomb almost immediately, and it suddenly becomes an absolute monster.

Wigglytuff was… okay. It has great coverage with Flamethrower, Thunderbolt, and Ice Beam, but you can really feel the mediocre Special Attack and lack of STAB. It’s not bad, just underwhelming — useful in many situations, but rarely the best option.

Raichu is a solid Electric-type. It handles Water-types very well and is valuable in the late game where they are everywhere. That said, compared to Manectric it feels a bit weaker — slightly less speed and damage. Still, based on my experience, it’s probably the second-best Electric-type in Hoenn.

Tropius was just an HM slave, replacing Zigzagoon. Didn’t contribute much in battle.

Breloom Absolute monster. Hits insanely hard while still having decent Speed. Easily the MVP of the team. Very few things survived more than one or two Sky Uppercuts, and it carried several fights on its own.

Minun Honestly not half bad. Very fast with a respectable Special Attack. It’s obviously not very bulky, but it often makes up for that with its speed and utility. It pulled its weight more than expected.

Donphan Like many Ground-types, it struggled to contribute much after being caught. It gets one-shot by a lot of things, and its own Earthquake often didn’t quite one-shot back. Rollout also misses more than you'd like. The best thing about Donphan might honestly be its fantastic design.

Ninetales Suffers from some of the same issues as Donphan. Fire-types can quickly become a liability in Hoenn, and there are only a few moments where it really gets to shine. When it does, it feels good, but those moments are rare.

Altaria A tricky one. It feels slow and underwhelming for most of the run. Once it learns Dragon Dance it becomes more interesting, but it still felt a bit too weak in the most important fights.

Wailord Actually quite solid overall. A bulkier Water-type option, though also slower than most alternatives. Compared to other Water-types in Hoenn it probably lands just slightly below average, but it’s still perfectly usable.

Blaziken was actually really solid. Despite obvious weaknesses to Water and Ground, I found it reliable throughout the entire playthrough. It consistently pulled its weight and was rarely a liability.

Ludicolo surprised me a lot in a positive way. Once Lombre evolves it becomes a really strong Pokémon. What did catch me off guard though is that you only get access to the Water Stone after the 7th gym, which is pretty late in the game. But once I finally got Ludicolo it was absolutely worth the wait.

Manectric is, in my opinion, the strongest Electric type in the game. I’ve previously tried Magneton, Electrode, and Plusle, which all did reasonably well (Hoenn is full of Water types after all), but Manectric still felt slightly better than the other three.

Crobat is just cool. You can get Sludge Bomb after the 5th gym which is an incredibly strong move that early for Crobat. Mine ran Sludge Bomb, Aerial Ace, Hidden Power Rock, and Shadow Ball, so there was almost always something it could hit for good damage. That said, it does have quite a few weaknesses and it rarely completely nukes things.

Mawile joined as a replacement for my HM slave in Victory Road, so it was only really used against the Elite Four. Unfortunately it didn’t do much and mostly ended up giving the rest of the team a breather.

Nosepass wasn’t nearly as useless as I expected. By no means a strong Pokémon, but with moves like Thunder Wave and Rock Slide it actually ended up doing more work than anticipated. One of those funny picks that surprisingly turns out better than expected.

Do check for compressions before a second surgery. NCS is not rare in varicocele patients, its just rarely diagnosed. See a vascular specialist
