First off, good job and finding a ralts. In my nuzlocke, I wanted one but now I have a zigzagoon named Izzy, odd thing.

Anyways, on Gardevoir, 3 psychic type moves is just asking for Sidney to plow over you. Add some other types to round out your coverage.

Mightyana still knows tackle and bite? A bit obvious, but you may want to replace those.

On Blaziken, if anything, i'd suggest Brick Break over secret power so that you can capitalize more on your good attack.

1. Thanks. And lol you jealous of me finding a Ralts? :3 I think I found it on my third or fourth try. xD

2. Do you think this team would be good to use in the Omega Ruby/Alpha Sapphire remakes?

3. What level should I train my team up to before trying Victory Road? I can't get through without a Trainer almost KOing me.

4. Should I go around with a Pokemon that has the Ability Pickup? Because I am preparing for Victory Road and the Elite 4.

I'm not worried about the spamming, but please condense that into one post if possible.

It can get you some items, but it's not very helpful in battle. In the end, it's really your decision.

Ok, thanks. And the reason I mentioned all those things in different replies was because, at the time of each one, I didn't think about the other ones. xD

To condense that into one post, put the info that you had in the last 3 posts and put them in the first one after my original post on the topic, quote me, then delete the unneeded posts.

BTW, defense curl on azumarill has to go. Plus you may want to catch a different water type for an HM slave. One is ok, two can work, 3 is excessive. I'd say keep surf out of the 3.

On Flutters, get another move to replace aerial ace or quick attack. If you still have facade, that would work.

I know that this is after the Physical/Special Split but, I did the same thing with my Lapras in Pokemon Y and it worked very well. Also, when I asked about using a Pokemon with Pick Up, I meant it as in to use it to gather things to help me prep for Victory Road and Elite 4. :) BTW, can you think of a good nickname for my female Azumarill?

I think you need some of those hms for victory road, but when youre out, get rid of cut and rock smash on vigoroth. not sure what to replace them with though,  but most anything tops them tbf

Ok, about the items in victory road, yes. You'll want that if you want to randomly find items in victory road.

Should I replace one of them (maybe Psylocke) with a Exploud? (I had one in my first Playthrough of Ruby and DAMN I miss it. #ExploudIsEpic)

I also JUST caught a Phanpy. Should I use it in my team, maybe replace Psylocke?

Also, which Forum section can I create a post that lists all the rematch-able trainers in Ruby/Sapphire?

That's based on your post count, it will say different things when that number increases.

That's your choice, either of those could work. Try them and see.

Also, which Forum section can I create a post that lists all the rematch-able trainers in Ruby/Sapphire?

The Ruby, Sapphire, Emerald, FireRed and LeafGreen one seems obvious.

3DS FC: 3067 - 6449 - 6265 ... Sun trainer name: Rafipi ... X trainer name: Brennica
Omega Ruby trainer name: Moga ... Alpha Sapphire trainer name: Rosella

Ok. Thanks. :) Btw, I have decided not to use Donphan because I just caught a lvl 40 Loudred (now is a lvl 41 Exploud) who is a lot closer in the levels of my team atm. I am working on leveling them all up to lvl 50 before I start tackling (no pun intended) Victory Road. Also, have ANY of you guys heard about that theory with Wally? That he is deathly ill (I think)? Cause, damn that is deep GameFreak.

Erm.... unless you did those sprites, give credit to the people that did them, because those look oddly like the ones the Metagame Spriters on this site did.

Lol, believe me, I would love to be able to make my own sprites. But I did give the Meta Spriters their credit. :) I never steal things.

Also, should I teach Inferno (Blaziken) Flamethrower instead of Quick Attack?
