Best Team for Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald Remastered 

10:51 "I wanted it to be the final surprise for all of you" * puts it in the thumbnail * Edit: Wow, tysm for the likes guys

Mystic: I wanted exploud to be the final surprise. Also mystic: Puts exploud in thumbnail

Oh yeah, Swampert is godly with it's Surf against the first gym. Wait, something feels wrong...

Summary: - Swampert (Surf, Earthquake, Ice Beam, Strength) - Crobat (Sludge Bomb, Fly, Giga Drain, Toxic) - Hariyama (Brick Break, Rock Tomb, Bulk Up, Rock Smash) - Manectric (ThunderBolt, Thunder Wave, Bite, Hidden Power) - Banette (Shadow Ball, Will-O-Wisp, Psychic, Secret Power) - Exploud (Return, Ice Beam, Fire Blast, Shock Wave)

Gardevoir: Am I a joke to you?

1:05 SWAMPERT 3:06 CROBAT 5:09 HARIYAMA 6:56 MANETRIC 8:47 BANNETE 10:28 EXPLOUD Hope it helped... If it did help plz 👇

Don't use Manectric against Metagross! In Gen III, steel resists dark, making bite only 1X damage!

A while back I picked up Emerald after only ever playing gen 1 and 2 when I was a youngling and I watched the original version of this to help me make a game plan. I ended up rejecting several of your old choices but the Exploud line was a wonderful surprise for its soundproof ability letting it shrugged off supersonics for days and later turning into a powerhouse!

I just use Swellow because of the whole (Guts Facade) and it hits hard

He protect He attacc But most importantly... He clicc fasst

I disagree with this team. I agree with Swampert being the best starter, altho I personally love Blaziken. Crobat is good, altho not excellent, but Zubat is just a pain in the ass to evolve which makes it useless in the beginning. And its stats arent that powerful either. I would replace this one with Skarmory. Skarmory has a great attack and defense and is way better than Crobat. I agree with Hariyama. A fighter in Hoenn is so important, especially in the Elite four. Manectric is very good too, so no complaints about that. Banette is okay, but you're gonna face problems in the elite four. Since ghost is super effective against ghost, and no way can Banette sweep through the whole team. This should be replaced by Absol. Yes I know, Dark is special in this gen and Absol doesnt have great Special attack. But teach this one Shadow Ball, Slash and swords dance and it can sweep through literally every team. Exploud is just a generally bad pokemon, it doesnt stand out in any category, it is mediocre overall. Swampert, Skarmory, Hariyama, Absol, Manectric are just a beast in gen 3. For the last pokemon I would choose between Flygon and Gardevoir. Flygon would purpose as a mixed attacker, with Dragonclaw and Earthquake as Its main attacks. Gardevoir is very handy in the second gym, and, believe it or not, with Imprison and Psychic, you just have to kill Claydol and Solrock in the 7th gym, use imprison, and the other two pokemon literally cant touch you (since their pokemon only know psychic as its attacking move). I've literally played emerald over 50 times, with so many different teams. Banette, Crobay and Exploud are just bad choices.

Instructions unclear my whole team is zubat

It’s so cool seeing how much you’ve grown as a content creator! Another great team, definitely improved from the original

In my case, I would save the TM26 (Earthquake) because Swampert can learn Earthquake at level 52, maybe I'll give that for Hariyama or Exploud.

The Hoenn region is my absolute favorite generation. Glad to see this video done!

2:44. Damn he forgot the L in slugma

I’m happy to see Banette make an appearance I recently got one for my Emerald team and was surprised how useful it is due to the movepool.

Zangoose is also an amazing choice if you have Ruby. With Swords Dance it kills basically anything in its path. Then give it three out of Brick Break, Aerial Ace, Shadow Ball and Return/Slash. It's TM reliant, but boy it wrecks absolutely everything. Just watch out for its frailty when setting up.

Thank you for making this video. I was asking for so long. Love this video and rest of your video

Mystic: "I wanted Exploud to be the final surprise for you guys..." Also Mystic: Puts Exploud on the thumbnail and at various other points in the video...

Finally I have asked for this forever I even asked you in your twitch stream!

Great Team, Black and White need a remastered if you have time

Great timing I went looking for this video only yesterday

Holy cow I requested this and you did it thank you so much

pelipper was a great pokemon during my emerald game until i couldn't firgure out how to get to the last gym.

Been watching for literally 30 seconds ( My recommended) and think I've found my new fave ytuber

Wish there were some more honorable mentions/alternatives too! Anyway this is well made and well thought out, thank you :)

Thank you for making this now! My SD care got damaged and I have to replay this game again!!!

Finally. Took months of request for this Remastered version and it finally happened!! Edit: Finally! Crobat Gets Some Love from Mystic!!

You get steel wing from Steven right after catching Zubat which makes it actually turn into a great team member before getting wing attack and evolving into Golbat/Crowbat, especially with how fast it is.

2:30 "Swampert can turn the tide on..." *This guy is good*

3:52 “... sludge bomb, fly, giga drain and toxiCCKCKKK”

Gardevoir with the ability trace: Pokemon with an amazing ability: I can be ur angel Slaking: or I can be ur devil Gardevoir is loafing around!!!! Edit: HOLY that's a lot of likes.

Recently did a sapphire run through and wound up with a Zangoose on my team. This guy ended up being the best in-game pokemon I've ever used. It's fast and has a high attack stat - and it learns Swords Dance at (around) level 17. Moveset I had on it was Swords Dance, Shadow Ball, Return, Brick Break. This guy ripped through the entire elite 4 after 2 Swords Dance boosts even though he was underleveled

Credit to you for trying two Pokémon I wouldn’t have originally considered: Banette and Exploud. With your move set, I can see why you chose them. I would have elected Gardevoir, but that would mean taking away Thunderbolt from Manectric. Plus, STAB Electric is more important in these games than STAB Psychic. I suppose I also understand not picking Slaking. Truant is annoying, it’s in the Slow experience group, and it would need both Brick Break and Shadow Ball for coverage, plus Return and the Earthquake TM (I just let Swampert learn it naturally). It’s just a pity that Hariyama isn’t a trade in this game, as its Fluctuating experience is a hassle later on. And while Thick Fat is the better defensive ability, you can have fun with Guts + Facade.

This is really going to help me go through the game in emerald

I loved the entire team. I did a similar team when I first played emerald, but chose Blaziken instead of swampert

You guys had teams? I spammed Leaf Blade all the way through

Emerald was my first pokemon game and I've played through it multiple times. The team isn't half bad, since ive used every pokemon on this list at some point or another in gen 3 but here is what I would change 1. Skarmory- Hands down the best flying type available. Crobat deals decent damage but is taken down easily if it fails to KO. Basically Skar is more reliable 2. Banette is slow, which is why Absol would probably have been better. Shadow Ball coming off a base 125 attack stat after a swords dance boost makes up for lack of stab 3. Gardevoir does Manectric's job better, because calm mind. Also higher special bulk. 4.Slaking with Hyper Beam can cleave through anything.

It would be more interesting if you included valuable team members for the battle frontier !!! Nice vid !

First yay finally remastered I've been waiting so long

YAAAAAAAAAAAAAS, MY BABY BANETTE. Also maybe switch Secret Power with Return for the extra power. Max friendship Return has a base 102 power while Secret Power has 70 and I don't think the chance for status effects make up for that. Edit: You can get 2 Return TMs. The one in Fallarbor Town and one in Pacifidlog Town when you show an old man a Pokémon with high friendship.

My god, thanks so much Mystic. Your team worked like a charm! I beat EVERY gym leader with ease including wallace. I always knew Manetric would be usefull. He risked his life to 2 shot Milotic... R.I.P Thunderhound..

Magnemite/Magneton is really underrated, electric type attacks really start kicking in when you learn surf, by then you can immediately catch one of level 24/25. It hits like a truck, and you already went through the fire and fighting type gyms when you catch it.

Slaking is pretty good btw. The hyper beam-truant combo is amazing

"You can get the earthquake tm for Swampert!" As if Swampert doesn't naturally learn earthquake.

I'm glad to see exploud here. It is part of my new play through.

Good job on this team mystic. Though i have something to suggest to the few readers of these comments. If you want, yoi could replace sludge bomb with poison fang and if you want, remove toxic for an extra coverage move.

Slacking is better Hyper beam if you kill switch and abuse the game mechanics

You know, even with truant, Slaking still is good. Also, I think you are making a little mistake. You (along with a lot of people) seem to be assuming that truant was given because Slaking has too high stats... but what if it was the opposite? Because Slaking needed truant they had to give it an extremely high attack power just to make it viable. Remember, "abilities" are often just natural states the Pokemon have rather than being real powers.

So, HELPFUL! THANK YOU!

Glad you are able to recognize Crobat and was way better than any other Flying type. My team is consisting of Swampert, Crobat, Gardevoir, Aggron, Flygon or Salamence, Hariyama or Machamp (If I have somone to trade.)

I would personally add shadow ball to exploud's move pool because normal types are resistant to ghost, thus creating a good counter. (Banette also learns shadow ball via level up so you don't need the TM for that)

Swampert, Gardevoir, Hariama, Skarmory, Absol, Torkoal Honestly one of my favorite teams because of the Pokemon used and times whited out For me personally i whited out 0 times but came close a few times due to lazy mistakes and also playing at 4 am with no sleep

I often use Magneton as its dual typing Electric/Steel combined with its great special attack and good defenses makes it viable and you get it before the 6th gym and it walls most of the E4.

My team for Gen 3 games: Swampert Gardevoir Breloom Manectric Aggron Absol

Thank u Mystic umbreon that was a gift for my birthday from yesterday

Crobat honestly benefits a lot from its poison typing. It gives it a /4 resistance to all three types that flying matches up well against in exchange for one more weakness and gen six can destroy fairies. One of my fav pokes always improves a team

Love it, I was happy to see my Crobat already looked exactly the same already, but not sure if i can get behind rock smash and rock tomb on hariyama. In this gen rock tomb is 80% accuracy and only 50 power. Even if it lowers speed, it's just not worth it with such a low power and a 20% miss chance. Same with rock smash. 20 power is a joke even if it can lower defense. They later buffed both of these moves but in gen 3 they are pretty useless imo

Guys! You dont need to go to seafloor cavern to get earthquake When ur Swampert reached lvl 52 It gets earthquake

"I guess TM13 got kinda..." *puts on sunglasses* "abandoned"

I'm still playing emerald... Love the old school one

For Hariyama, MysticUmbreon is definitely right about Bulk Up, it helped me a bunch against Norman in my Ruby play through; after 3 Bulk Up’s, I swept through his entire team.

Never really got far in emerald after going through Ruby. Deffo going to restart to give this team a try

Banette has always been one of my favs and I feel it’s under appreciated , glad to see it here !

Gen 3 remastered. Move Costs Remastered! Psychic... 3500 Coins (optional at worst) Ice Beam... 4000 Coins (and completely optional to the point of being unnecessary) Blizzard... 5500 Poké Fire Blast... 5500 Poké So... 11000 Poké if you’re amazingly patient for certain moves. Add 70000 Poké for Psychic TM early. Add another 70000 Poké for Ice Beam Early, or if choosing over Blizzard, you just need to add 64500 instead, bringing the highest total to... 151000 Poké for full money invested in early access. Good luck!!!

Exploud has always been one of my favorites, she’s got a good move pool and decent stats. Mines always been a female because I get a mother grizzly vibe off her.

I had a few modifications from your team. I used Swampert breloom exploud alakazam manectric and skarmory. And they were an awesome team!

Exploud Should Definitly Have Shadow Ball, Brick Break, Or Something Over F*cking Shock Wave... Lol It Should Also Have Ice Beam Over Blizzard Too, And Maybe Flamethrower Over Fire Blast You Can Also Put Earthquake On The Set

Still waiting for my suggestion to be used best Eeveelution team

So I definitely like the idea of using Exploud, not the most obvious choice and even though it's not the best, I still think it's pretty fun. I'm thinking about starting a new Emerald playthrough with this team, tell me what you guys think: Swampert Exploud Crobat Hariyama Aggron Dusclops

I still have Emerald on this day and Torchic was always my best pick especially my 6 teams of Pokemon for Hoenn Region Blaziken, Molotic, Gardevoir, Electrode, Absol, Salamance

DUDE, BANETTE IS MY FAVORITE, IM SO GLAD HE'S ON THIS TEAM!

My favorite region 😍. I'm going to try that team, tho.

1: Swarmpert 2:Gardivor 3:Breloom (switched with Arnaldo) 4: Exploud 5:Latios(yes I played oras) 6: magneton

Please do 1 for blaizeken and sceptile for the original game

Bro whom should we teach cut

Hey Mystic I used the previous best hoenn team and it just destroyed hoenn Especially Slaking(it one shot even in the elite 4) It was a very good team But this team is also good😄

I’m an old timer and just started playing emerald kaizo..my first experience of Pokémon past gen 2. It’s so hard but awesome hahah.

Hi guys! I need some advice here. I'm doing an Emerald run and I want to include a grass type aside from Sceptile and Brelom (wich I used before). Any suggestions?

"The TM for Ice beam is only avalable at the Mauville game Corner" The TM13 in the Abandoned ship: *Cries in TM*

for crobat, xchange giga drain for confuse ray. fly + toxic + confuse ray = stall

MYSTIC I LOOKED FOR THIS YESTERDAY I JUST BEAT THE GAME 1 DAY LATE

The rapid facts you needed to read off on your script paired with your video’s editing make this both super helpful and also a lot to take in. I’m seeing you flash the teams Swampert is good against and to float the pictures on the screen along with the info being formatted the same way is a really nice addition to the information being provided Thank you

I didn't realize the champion was changed to Wallace in Emerald so I wasted time leveling a donphan only to realize he was completely useless for that fight :/

This bring back memories when I beat Emerald with Exploud and an Swampert

What software do you use to edit your videos? The flow is remarkable

Thank you so much! The old one seemed kind of like a very rushed job. I mean, Manectric couldn't learn flamethrower, and you really didn't address that

As good as Swampert itself is, I've always preferred the teams I can build around Blaziken and Sceptile more. Sceptile is the best Grass type in RSE bar none, so I can slot in Camerupt and Starmie for a full Fire/Water/Grass core, then fill in the rest with Crobat/Swellow, Manectric/Magneton, and then Hariyama/Heracross. Blaziken gets both Fire/Fighting, and if you grew up on Sapphire or Emerald, you get Ludicolo, which covers Fire/Water/Grass with just two Pokemon. From there, I can slot in Crobat/Swellow, Manectric/Magneton, Flygon/Donphan, and Gardevoir.

I just recently found out that beautifly has some good stats and moveset Paired with modest nature

Hi Mystic. i have a question: why choosing pokemon with dual types like Mudkip who has WATER and GOUND, even if All pokemon games until Sapphire give ATK stats to GROUND, and SP. ATK to WATER? If you try to train and choosing the perfect nature, will you not encounter the problem that some of your skills won't be optimised?

love how he just ignores the existence of swablu when he talks about why crobat is the best flying type.

I still believe that slaking is better in the old gen 3 games just because of hyper beam

"Hariyama is best fighting type on Hoenn" Blaziken: Am I joke to you?

Did u consider aggron? I know its def a common but the capabilities are insane especially in the remake

My version of the team: Swampert @ Mystic Water Ability: Torrent - Surf - Earthquake - Ice Beam - Brick Break The starter. No need to explain the starter choice. Brick Break can be replaced with Waterfall, i just think more coverage is better here. You recieve the Mystic Water alongside the Castform on the weather institute. Don't use the Earthquake TM on Swampert, he learns it via level up. Gardevoir Ability: Synchronize - Psychic - Calm Mind - Thunderbolt - Magical Leaf Alakazam is better, but i'm going with the non trade evo alternative here. There's not much you can change on the moveset. Breloom @ Miracle Seed Ability: Effect Spore - Giga Drain - Sky Uppercut - Mach Punch - Leech Seed Even though grass types are special in this gen, Breloom still an amazing choice. Brick Break is better than Sky Uppercut, but the Brick Break TM is already on Swampert. Make sure you get the Miracle seed in the Petalbug Woods. Crobat Ability: Inner Focus - Aerial Ace - Sludge Bomb - Steel Wing - Fly The best Flying type this region has to offer. Make sure you get the Soothe Bell in Slateport. Not much else to say about this guy. Flygon @ Soft Sand Ability: Levitate - Dragon Claw - Earthquake - Crunch - Flamethrower Can be kinda tricky to level up, but the end result is worth it. You can use Flygon to fly and switch Crobat for another pokemon if you want, i just rly love Crobat. Magneton @ Magnet Ability: Sturdy - Thunderbolt - Thunder Wave - Tri Attack - Flash Much better than Manectric. There's not much else you can use in the moveset though. Make sure you grab the magnet on the trick master's house after you beat the final gym.

Exploud finally getting the recognition he deserves. Solid Nornal type is always welcomed. Same for Banette. One of the best Ghost types, especially in gen 3 with the physical/special split.

Zangoose with attack IV and EVs, with Shadow ball, double team, swords dance, and Slash Ultimte glass cannon

I honestly usually go the plan of absol+decent move coverage+crit everything I see.

Hey mystic I got a question may you pls do remastered team certain starter edition. (Like Pokémon silver frialigotar edition)
