Starting Pokemon
Recommendation One:
Treecko is the best starter Pokemon that you can get. Treecko and its
evolutions are very powerful in HP, defense, and special attack. It will be very
helpful in the entire game and against the Elite Four. Poochyena is a good
pokemon to catch at the start of the game because it can be worked up easily. He
also evolves into a strong Pokemon, Mightyena. Before going to the first Gym,
work up all your pokemon to level 8 to 10. Treecko is helpful in Pokemon
Sapphire because of Team Aqua and for catching Kygre. It is also useful for
defeating the fishermen and swimmers.
Recommendation Two: The best starter for the game is Torchic. Even at the beginning, Torchic is
very useful. You can easily level it up in the forest in between Rustburo and
Petalburg. Before you get to the first gym, level it up to 16 and get
Cumbusken.
Make sure that it knows Double Kick (learned at level 16). Fighting moves are
strong against Rock type. This should allow you to easily win the first gym. As
for the Elite Four, you should have a Blaziken at level 60. The best moves for
it is Flamethrower TM at Game Corner, Blaze Kick, or Fire Punch. You can learn
Blaze Kick and get Fire Punch from Move Tutor. Your third move should be Sky
Uppercut. This is a fighting move Blaziken learns, and is useful against the
first Elite Four Dark Trainer. Your final move should be either Return or any
other strong normal move (such as Hyper Beam) that can be useful against the
Elite Four. For the first time in the Elite Four, you should carry Blaziken,
Sharpedo (or any other strong Psychic or Dark Pokemon); Salamence (a Dragon
Pokemon that evolves from a Shelgon which itself evolves from a Bagon, which can
be found at the Meteor Falls; a strong Ground/Rock/Steel Pokemon, preferably an
Aggron, Groudon/Kyrogue, and an Ice Pokemon such as Walrein or Glalie.
Recommendation Three: The best type of starting Pokemon (in order) are: Water, Grass, and
Fire.
Recommendation Four: Torchic proves to be the best as you get farther in the game, but proves to
be difficult in the beginning. Mudkip is strong in the beginning, but weaker
against the Elite Four. Mudkip is a good choice if playing Pokemon Ruby.
Treeko is somewhat neutral, but is best to choose if playing Pokemon Sapphire
because of Team Aqua.
Recommendation Five: The best starters are either Treecko or
Torchic. Treecko's stats emphasize on
special attack and speed (which increases dramatically once it evolves). Torchic
evolves into a Fire/Fighting Pokemon which can be difficult at times but can
prove to be helpful. If you want Groudon, then it is probably best to choose
Treecko, However the Fighting type that Combusken and Blaizken (Torchic's
evolved forms) brings to the table is a welcome addition. Fighting will be an
essential type later in the game. Choose wisely because you only get one. Note:
If you choose Torchic, do not delay its evolution into Combusken as it soon
after learns Double-Kick, one of its most valuable moves. Choose your favorite
Dark type Pokemon and do not let go. Poochenya is a good choice because it is
available early in the game, and it is pure Dark with good stats. Later in the
game, you will be able to catch a Zangoose. This Pokemon is a Dark type killing
machine. It has a set of great moves, good stats, and a bad disposition. When
you catch it, read its Pokedex entry They are found just outside Meteor Falls.
Use a Pokemon with a move that can either put its opponent asleep or paralyze
it, preferably a Grass type with Stun Spore and Sleep Powder. Oddish is a good
choice because it learns every Powder there is. If you are feeling adventurous
and want to go after the legendary Pokemon "The Regis", catch a
Wailmer and level it up. You will need its evolved form, Wailord (evolves at
level 40) and a Relicanth. If you do go for The Regis, choose either the
Registeel or the Regice. Registeel is pure steel which makes good against just
about everything. Regice is pure ice which makes it a menace to all dragons out
there. Registeel has high defense and special defense scores, while Regice has
an incredible special defense and average normal defense. If you went for The
Regis and decided to keep your Wailord in you party (recommended, as it has an
incredible amount of HP) then you are done. If you did not go for The Regis, you
will still have two empty slots to fill. Catch your favorite Pokemon for one and
save that last slot for that ultra-powerful Pokemon in the tower towards the end
of the game.
Recommendation Six: For Pokemon Ruby, Mudkip is best, Treecko is worst, and Torchic is
average. For Pokemon Sapphire, Treecko is best, Torchic is worst, and
Mudkip is average.
Recommendation Seven: Torchic is your best bet because of the limited number of fire Pokemon in the
game. Once it turns into Blaziken and it knows Fire Blast (TM bought at Lilycove
Dept. Store), Fire Punch (use Heart Scale) Blaze Kick (level up), and Sky
Uppercut (level up), its only real threat is Altaria. As for Mudkip, it may be
slightly easier in the beginning of the game, but the only very good move it
knows is Muddy Water, which is learns as Swampert at a high level. Also, it does
not do well at the Elite Four.
Recommendation Eight: Torchic is the best starter Pokemon. Once you go to the Lilycove Department
Store, you can buy Fire Blast and evolve it to Blazekein. At over level 60, it
almost never fails. When you have Blazekein against a Water Pokemon stronger
than Blazkein, the opponent will probably win. Recommended moves are
Flamethrower, Fire Blast, Hyper Beam, and Overheat.
