Steven's been "Stoned"
10 years ago
:P I posed a question on my previous journal asking what Pokemon you used when taking on Steven Stone, the Hoenn champion - particularly his ace Pokemon (Mega) Metagross. All I've saw on YouTube is everyone going Mega and having a long dragged out fight against a powerhouse pseudo-legendary. However, I managed to stop an unstoppable force with an immovable object. :P
In Omega Ruby - I used my Dusknoir "Grimskull" and save for one Meteor Mash, he couldn't lay a claw on me. I had him locked on a Confuse Ray and Wil-o-Wisp and finished him off with a Shadow Punch.
In Alpha Sapphire (which I just finished the initial game yesterdayish), I did go with a Mega Evolution to finish him - but I knew what I had in mind. I called upon my Aggron "Ferrus Manus" and just walled his attacks and used Earthquake and finished him within oh...3-4 turns. Wasn't a big deal to me.
EDIT: I thought of this in one of my random musings. Another Pokemon that might fit the bill against Steve-o Stone is Golurk. With his ground/ghost pairing, three out of four of Metagross' moves are either not very effective or Golurk is unaffected by them (even in the rematches, Steven doesn't diversify his moveset and put in something like Signal Beam, Earthquake, Power-up Punch or even plain ol' Pursuit) and Golurk, especially using his Iron Fist ability has a good moveset to drop on him (Hammer Arm, Phantom Force, Fly, Shadow Punch, Dig, Earthquake...just name a few of the moves he can learn). More of an offensive option but something to consider. :3
So for my first-run winning teams:
Omega Ruby:
"Remy" Swampert
"Dynamo" Elektross
"Emily" Ninetails
"Grimskull" Dusknoir
"Une" Shifty
"Jonah" Gallade
Alpha Sapphire:
"Talia" Sceptile
"Marian" Gardevior
"Casey" Arcanine
"Heracles" Heracross
"Ferrus Manus" Aggron
"Elektra" Electivire
Only problem I have now on Alpha Sapphire is my moveset post-Delta Episode. Namely with my Gardevior; right now she has Moonblast, Psychic, Future Sight and Magical Leaf...and I want to change my moveset slightly- I have considered Hyper Voice but I also want to balance my team's moves as well. Any suggestions would be helpful here. ^^
I'll have a follow-up post on non-Pokemon stuff laters.
