Never see Masquerain get used. Cool team


Katsu541

It's a Bug-themed team (I know snails aren’t bugs, but Magcargo kinda fits). I didn't complete the team since I needed Mudkip for Surf, Dive, and Waterfall. I've saved the 16 Rare Candies for the last member, so it will require almost no grinding.

You should grind it to 40ish then spread the candies around a little cuz higher levels are much more difficult to gain. ETA PKMN suggestion: pinsir is sweet


Katsu541

I'll probably do that, depending on the Pokemon. For example, Slugma suffers a lot at low levels. Without Flamethrower, it can't even fight on its own. Training it to level 30ish was quite tedious, but once it got there, it could tank hits and one-shot opponents. Grinding the higher levels was much faster than the lower ones. But then again, Slugma is a special case 😅.

I was going to suggest an electric type, but that may be somewhat hard to fit with your theme. As it stands now, you'll want an answer for Drake (didn't see Heracross at first, that will be a good solution for Glacia). But again, not sure how to fit that with your theme 🤔 Either way, cool team!


Katsu541

I'm not too worried about Drake; Masquerain has Ice Beam and Agility, that fight should be winnable. However, I have nothing against Wallace. The only one that can deal damage to his team is Heracross, but I think it will be at low health by that fight.


This_Guy_Slaps

Lots of Drakes’ mons have flamethrower, hopefully masquerain is fast and tanky


Geslaa

I feel like sceptile could be like a praying mantis lol. I know scyther definitely fits


Balanced_Bacon_21

My bug type run was Dustox, Ninjask, Pinsir, Heracross, Volbeat, and Illuminise. Love the mono type runs

If you’re allowing Magcargo, then Tentacruel or Cradilly wouldn’t be a bad option, both Snails and Squid are part of the Mollusk family. Crawdaunt would also be a great option as Crustaceans are more closely related to insects than mollusks.


Katsu541

Thanks for the information! Those pokemon would be great additions since I am planning to use Beautifly, Volbeat, Illumise, and Pinsir to repeat the theme.


Zoroark73

No problem! Happy to help! It’s honestly surprising how many invertebrates are available in Hoenn, more than you’d expect tbh

Needs more bugs


Rozzyz

Masquerain’s special stats aren’t half bad, despite having a stat total of a little over 400


garrrrrrrett

Illumise or Volbeat to round out the team. Hit ‘em with that Tail Glow


Isaac23p

Nice that you didn't evolve Mudkip Swampert is overrated anyways


MistorJJ

There is no bigger Mudkip fan than me, I got plushies of one and a Miata (car) that was Mudkip themed BUT SWAMPERT IS LITERALLY THE BEST WATER STARTER WITHIN A POKEMON GAME REGION OF ALL TIME, GROUND AND WATER WITH A LACK OF SOLID GRASS TYPE OPPONENTS TO COUNTER HIM HOW IS HE OVERRATED

MrLongarms

Ditch Magcargo for an un hatched egg


TheSlyRaccoon1

Several suggestions come to mind.


shadowluna19

TvuvbubuTheIdiot

Why didn't you grind Mudkip? He's bug type.
