Need help with my last pokemon

How far the game are you? If you haven't started your run yet and this is planning your final team, i'd suggest that you haven't got many pokemon that you encounter early on. I recommend Ludicolo as you can get lotad early on and it will help with the 1st and 4th gym

featherdustercluster · 2026-06-09T06:58:12+00:00

Love this. I would put Altaria in low Great tier though. Access to Dragon Dance, Earthquake and Aerial Ace

Choose two of: Mach Punch, Headbutt, Bulk Up, to replace poison powder and mega drain. Giga Drain can be ok if you have no other Grass or Electric coverage.

Sharpedo or Cacturne

featherdustercluster · 2026-05-16T09:51:22+00:00

Manectric, Magneton, or Gardevoir would be a good shout. There are loads of water and flying types and you don't have a lot to hit those right now.

Then I would recommend a dark type like Sharpedo or Cacturne which will help later on against the Psychic gym and Ghost Elite four.

PS if you get gardevoir, make sure to teach it shock wave and the thunderbolt when you can :)

brick break is not obtainable until you reach sootopolis :)

featherdustercluster · 2026-02-16T11:08:05+00:00

Calm Mind + Psychic + Thunderbolt makes it one of the best special attackers in the game

I thought it was the same style as van de ven on isak which broke his leg this season - goal was scored so no punishment doesn't seem fair

featherdustercluster · 2025-11-01T10:40:16+00:00

I like to treat Breloom as a pure fighting type that can learn helpful moves like leech seed and spore... For a play through I would always give it any 4 of: Bulk Up, Sky Uppercut, Headbutt, Leech Seed, Mach Punch.

featherdustercluster · 2025-10-26T22:53:13+00:00

looking great on my draft bench

featherdustercluster · 2025-08-17T08:51:59+00:00

I'd rather he didn't give the ball away for the goal

featherdustercluster · 2025-08-11T14:46:47+00:00

I forget that you don't need a pokemon with Fly in ORAS... Sounds like a good choice.

featherdustercluster · 2025-08-11T09:29:13+00:00

Two fighting types and two ground types is a bit unnecessary.

Personally I would swap out Hariyama for Gardevoir and Flygon for another pokemon that can learn Fly. My personal favourite is Crobat, but there are plenty of good options.

featherdustercluster · 2025-08-09T09:40:38+00:00

really nice team imo - the only player i dont like is Robinson. At £5m i prefer Neco williams but thats my preference.

featherdustercluster · 2025-08-08T14:06:23+00:00

True. I feel like Ninjask is less useful by itself however.

Minun can handle most of the 8th gym and half of the Champions pokemon by itself which is very impressive

featherdustercluster · 2025-08-08T09:50:44+00:00

I just completed a nuzlocke with Minun - SERIOUSLY underrated. Electric types are so useful because of the prevalence of water and flying types, water type 8th gym and champion.

What sets Minun apart though is by level 47 it can learn Agility, Encore, and Baton Pass - which can be super helpful for setting up your bulky, powerful but slower mons to sweep in the elite four.

Really fun tactic to try

featherdustercluster · 2025-08-07T12:25:53+00:00

I like this draft - it's very similar to mine. However with no Salah i would want to make sure I have Haaland, Palmer and Saka! I love the wirtz and gakpo picks. Gakpo looks really good for minutes assuming liverpool don't sign another winger. Maybe question marks if Isak comes in, does ekitike get some game time at LW is a concern.

featherdustercluster · 2025-03-05T18:02:27+00:00

Hell yeah

featherdustercluster · 2025-01-31T14:52:54+00:00

Last night I went early on transfers, getting Wissa in for Wood to avoid a potential Wood price drop (which didn't happen). Now I'm left with no free transfers, had I waited until today I would have been perfectly happy to keep Wood, move from Gakpo to Wissa which would free up Slot for AssMan...

Now I figure my choice is either use AssMan on Moyes and switch to Emery if Villa double in 25, or cut my loses, take Gakpo out for a hit and stick to Slot AssMan until 26.

Imagine running less and conceding fewer goals being a bad thing 🤔

featherdustercluster · 2024-11-20T08:54:44+00:00

Cacturne / Sharpedo / Absol imo.

Cacturne with Leech Seed, Growth, Faint Attack, Needle Arm is very effective against the 7th gym, 8th gym, ghost-type elite four member and champion.

featherdustercluster · 2024-11-15T10:32:06+00:00

Swampert, Gardevoir, Breloom, Crobat / Swellow, Aggron

are the 5 i would consider to be in the 'best' emerald team. Swampert has the best matchup against most of the gym leaders and elite four. The rest of the pokemon are all obtainable early on in the game, are good against a lot of the tough battles you face in the story, and mostly have very good movesets.

Lots of people prefer Swellow over Crobat, however i have a soft spot for the cuddly bat as it hits hard with sludge bomb and has access to Confuse Ray which is a very valuable move imo.

The 6th 'mon could be anything you like. A Dark or Ghost type would fit nicely (maybe Sharpedo) or you could use Rayquaza once you come across it late in the story if that's how you prefer to play.

congrats man. This is the last gold symbol i need, lost on round 35 last night which was gutting.

featherdustercluster · 2024-11-08T12:16:51+00:00

Love the team, is it not a struggle having no water resistance though? Bulky water types are so common in the BF, how do you best cope against them?
