If I transfer my Pokemon from gba (fire red) to 3ds (sun) who will it state the original trainer was?

If I transfer my Pokemon from fire red, all the way up to sun, will it say that my Pokemon belonged to my character from fire red, or the games that I had to trade my Pokemon through to get it to sun. I'm just a little confused, I really want my Pokemon to state that it was from my original gba game, not black or heart gold. Thanks

Thanks for the answer! I was wondering because on Drought's description it said it creates an intense sunlight, so wasn't sure if this was like a regular sunny day or not.

Hidden Powers are based on IVs. In the previous Generations, it was impossible to change this and you were stuck with the same type. Now, with the introduction of Hyper Training, you can manipulate them to an extent so as to get Fire. This is still unfortunately very hard to do for this simple reason:

where a, b, c, d, e, f (the "type bits") are the least significant bit of their respective IV's. If a number is odd, its least significant bit is 1, and it is 0 otherwise.
a depends on the HP IV.
b and c depend on the Attack and Defense IV's respectively.
d depends on the Speed IV.
e and f depend on the Special Attack and Special Defense IV's respectively.

Source
For [Fire], the resulting value must be 8, so by a bit of reverse calculation,
(8 x 63)/15 = a+2b+4c8d+16e+32f nearly equal to 33 (Actually, it's 33.6, but you must round it down, so it's 33, not 34)
Here I realized it was still tedious work to calculate the possibilities, so here they are, pulled from this page:

31/30/31/30/31/30
30/30/31/30/31/30
31/31/30/30/31/30
30/31/30/30/31/30

Note that you don't have to have the exact values, i.e. wherever it's 31, an odd IV will do and where it's 30, an even one will suffice. This unfortunately means that you need to know the exact IVs of your Venusaur beforehand and how to get them to exactly the next value or to leave it alone.
And that's just the type.
Power calculation are still harder to manipulate, which you can see in the first source provided above.
All in all, it's still extremely hard to get exactly what type and power of Hidden Power you want, so you're better off using another move set, or trading for one with Fire.

What is a good in-game team for FireRed/LeafGreen?

2 votes

774,036 views

Allowed by Pokemaster as you can read here. The answers I will provide will give a good example of how this should be done.

Six Pokemon are required and while legendaries can be suggested, do remember that many people do not like using them because of how easy it makes the game. You might also want to keep the starter.
Moves are required for each Pokemon.
You should make sure to take into account that some people cannot trade, nor do they want to use cheating devices such as AR. As such, suggesting Machamp or giving multiple Pokemon the Earthquake attack when they can only learn it by TM is not a good idea.
Items, EVs, and Natures are not required.
Please provide ample explanation.

Since this is Gen III, types are determined differently.

isnt starmie a water psychic type?

commented Apr 7, 2016 by pikachu4567

1.Nice team overall but giving Charizard at least 2 special moves is recommended. I would suggest Flamethrower, Dragon Claw, Steel Wing/Earthquake/Fly/Brick Break and a secondary Fire stab like Heat Wave/Fire Blast etc
2.Also Flamethrower or Psychic ain't good on Snorlax as he has low Sp.Attack stat
3.Starmie should have Psychic as it is a Water/Psychic type.

Bulbasaur as starter: Venusaur, Dugtrio, Jolteon, Lapras, Snorlax, Fearow
Venusaur: Razor Leaf/Frenzy Plant, Sleep Powder, Cut/Strength/Sludge Bomb, Earthquake
Your starter evolution if you chose Bulbasaur.
Razor Leaf provides a STAB attack with a lot more PP than Giga Drain. Frenzy Plant is actually a good move for an ingame run, so it can be used as a good finishing blow to the foe. Unfortunately SLudge Bomb is only available as a TM later in the game, after the Elite 4, and as such is not as much a viable ingame move. You can replace Cut for it when you do get it though. Strength can also be used as an HM over Cut, if your Snorlax is wanting Thunderbolt or Thunder this is a good idea. Sleep Powder can give Venusaur the chance to win some otherwise tough battles and also makes it easier to catch wild Pokemon. Cut is an HM. Earthquake is high powered and provides coverage.
Dugtrio: Earthquake, Aerial Ace, Rock Smash/Cut, Rock Slide
You can catch Dugtrio at Level 31 in Diglett's Cave, which at that point in the game might be a higher level than your starter Pokemon. If not, then it will still likely be a higher level than the rest of your team. With high Speed and solid Attack, Dugtrio is a solid Pokemon for ingame. Arena Trap even makes wild encounters more likely, which can be helpful for training or finding a specific Pokemon. Earthquake is very high powered STAB with great coverage. Aerial Ace is coverage, as is Rock Slide. Rock Smash is an HM move, although if Venusaur is using Sludge Bomb or Strength you might want to use Cut.
Jolteon: Thunder/Thunderbolt, Pin Missile, Double Kick, Rain Dance/Flash
A powerful Electric type, it has excellent sweeping stats and so can do huge damage. Volt Absorb is also a solid ability, as immunities are even better ingame than in competitive. It might not have much of a movepool but it still proves itself a helpful member of the team. Thunderbolt is unfortunately a TM, so if you want Lapras to have it, Thunder is the way to go. Thunder is also the way to go if using Rain Dance. Pin Missile helps out against the Abra family. Double Kick against Normal types such as Snorlax. Rain Dance gives Thunder 100% accuracy, strengthens Lapras's Water type attacks, and removes Venusaur's Fire weakness. Flash however can get rid of your foe's accuracy, making wild Pokemon and stronger foes do nothing to you, as well as provides you with an HM. However, Flash is not one of those needed HMs, as some people can navigate through the caves without its use. If you have trouble with this though, Flash is the way to go.
Lapras: Surf, Waterfall, Ice Beam, Thunderbolt/Thunder
Your Water HM Slave. It is used over other Water types mainly due to its STAB Ice attacks. Lapras proves incredibly useful against the Elite 4. Surf is considered by many to be the most important of the HM moves and it also is an awesome attack. Waterfall can back up a Surf that is out of PP, but more importantly it is an HM. Ice Beam is a great STAB move. Thunderbolt is coverage, although Thunder can be used if running Rain Dance on Jolteon.
Snorlax: Return, Shadow Ball, Flamethrower, Strength/Thunderbolt/Thunder/Focus Punch
Snorlax is an excellent Pokemon, having high stats, two useful abilities, and a good movepool. It also comes at a decently high level, not Dugtrio high, but good enough for that point in the game. Return hits hard with STAB. Shadow Ball gets coverage as well as hits any Gengars that Agatha uses against you. Flamethrower provides coverage also. The last move has mutliple solid options. Strength is an HM that backs up the PP of Return. However, you can use Thunderbolt or Thunder (depending which you used on Lapras) to provide type coverage. Focus Punch is the final choice, and it can be useful as an incredibly high powered attack when your opponent uses a status move. However, due to the unpredictable nature of the AI, this might not be your best option.
Fearow: Drill Peck, Fly, Steel Wing, Hyper Beam
Your Flying type. You get it early on in the game, meaning you can start training it right away. Fly is a favored HM because it lets you get from place to place with ease. Drill Peck is a much more useful move for battling though. Steel Wing provides type coverage. STAB Hyper Beam is a powerful finishing move, and is actually good for ingame use.

Charmander as starter: Charizard, Primeape, Parasect, Dugtrio, Jolteon, Lapras
Charizard: Fly, Flamethrower, Dragon Claw, Return
Your starter Pokemon. Flamethrower is STAB of course and has better PP and accuracy than Fire Blast and Heat Wave. Dragon Claw hits off of Charizard's higher Special Attack and provides perfect neutral coverage with Flamethrower. Of course, Dragon Claw has awful Super-Effective coverage, only helping out against Lance. Return is a high powered attack with a lot of PP. So it is good for ingame use. Fly is one of those HMs that I couldn't do without. On Charizard it gets STAB. Fly is a good move for ingame use, as your opponent will never switch out.
Primeape: Brick Break, Earthquake, Thief, Strength
It proves its worth early if you haven't leveled up Charmander enough to get Metal Claw. And with solid offense and solid Speed, in addition to Vital Spirit (no sleep clause ingame can get you) Primeape is a solid addition to any team. Brick Break is STAB with a good amount of PP and reliable accuracy (unlike Cross Chop). Earthquake is high powered coverage. Thief can hit the Gengar line but its main use is to steal items from Wild Pokemon. Strength is an HM move.
Parasect: Spore, Cut, Sludge Bomb, Giga Drain
-Spore is for use in catching Wild Pokemon, and helps Parasect actually take down foes. Cut is an HM. Sludge Bomb is one of the most powerful attacks this thing gets. Giga Drain is STAB.
Dugtrio: Earthquake, Aerial Ace, Rock Smash, Rock Slide
You can catch Dugtrio at Level 31 in Diglett's Cave, which at that point in the game might be a higher level than your starter Pokemon. If not, then it will still likely be a higher level than the rest of your team. With high Speed and solid Attack, Dugtrio is a solid Pokemon for ingame. Arena Trap even makes wild encounters more likely, which can be helpful for training or finding a specific Pokemon. Earthquake is very high powered STAB with great coverage. Aerial Ace is coverage, as is Rock Slide. Rock Smash is an HM move.
Jolteon: Thunder/Thunderbolt, Pin Missile, Double Kick, Rain Dance/Flash
A powerful Electric type, it has excellent sweeping stats and so can do huge damage. Volt Absorb is also a solid ability, as immunities are even better ingame than in competitive.

This one is AMAZING! Jynx is the most useful psychic in FR/LG and Hypno is like a replacement of Gengar. Also Lapras outstats Dewgong.

commented Nov 18, 2013 by ChewyDonuts

However, Signal Beam is a Bug type, which is useful against both Psychic and Dark types.

Also, I've used that exact Tyranitar before. It's just spectacular.

edited Apr 9, 2015 by Pivilio

Vaporeon Is better than Lapras and Dewgong in terms of HP and Damage. I Recommend Vaporeon.

commented May 10, 2014 by Kenzan

I agree but mew two is better with moveset::
Phychic
Shadowball
Recover/Rest
Brickbreak

This is a replacement for Hypno.

Alakazam works well too.

A replacement for dewgong is either walrein or kyogre

commented Jan 13, 2015 by saadarsalan

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the Tyranitar family a post game catch? Of course this set would still be useable via trades, but it's an important disclaimer.

commented Sep 9, 2015 by Gen3isbest!

Nice team.
My only suggestions would be to run belly drum on snorlax instead of return if running snore and to replace heat wave with flamethrower on Charizard as it has perfect accuracy and both do the nearly the same damage in the long run.
And yes Gen3isbest you are right.Larvitar can only be caught in Sevault Canyon which I think is there on Seven Island

It depends on your starter:
If your starter is: Charmander, I suggest:
Off course: Charizard - Blast Burn, Flamethrower or Heat Wave or Dragon Claw, Fly, Fire Blast
Water: Gyarados or Seadra (Due to the Fact that they are part Dragon Types which is a great advantage)- Hydro Pump, Ice Beam, Surf, Dragon Rage (For Gyarados) or Rain Dance (For Seadra to increase its speed and Damage).
Grass: Exeggutor or VilePlume - Exeggutor: Psychic, Solar Beam, Giga Drain, Sunny Day or Calm Mind

                                                          VilePlume: Sludge Bomb, Giga Drain, Solar Beam, Sunny Day

Electric: Raichu, Zapdos, or Magneton (Electabuzz will also do)- Thunder Bolt, Thunder, Thunder Wave, Double Team (Raichu); Thunder Bolt, Thunder, Thuner Wave, Lock On (Magneton); Agility, Thunder Bolt, Thunder, Thunder Wave (Electabuzz).
Rock/Ground: Nidoking (FR), Nidoqueen (LG), Golem - Rock Slide, Earthquake, MegaHORN(Nidoqueen and Nidoking Only)Sandstorm, Rock Blast
Last Type: Preferably Bug instead of Psychic because the Champion's Last Pokemon is Alakazam which is Psychic meaning choosing a Psychic type can result to ineffectiveness.
Preferred Bug Types
Beedrill: High Speed, can over come Alakazam
Moveset: Twineedle, Pin Missile, Sludge Bomb, Agility
Heracross: High Attack
Move Set: Megahorn, BrickBreak, Horn Attack, Bulk Up
Pinsir Actually should be great but he doesn't learn any Bug Types during the game

I have Some corrections,

Charizard should be:

Blast Burn - Damage:150 STAB/ Fire Blast - Damage:120 More Reliable than Blast Burn
Earthquake - Damage:100 Anti rock/Electric
Dragon Claw - Damage:80 Strong Dragon Destroyer
Sunny Day - Status: Increases Fire Type Moves

My team: Charizard, Nidoking, Victreebel, Hitmonlee, Snorlax, Starmie
Charizard(Fire/Flying):

Fly (HM02)
Flamethrower (Lvl 34)
Slash (Lvl 44)
Blast Burn (Move Tutor at Cape Brink)

Charizard has very good Sp. Atk. and all around good stats. It is the fire type starter. It is weak to: Rock(x4), Water(x2) and Electric(x2). Ground attacks will have no effect on Charizard. Fly is a strong flying type move, and also a useful HM. Flamethrower is a very strong fire type move that may cause a burn on the foe. Slash is good because of the high critical hit ratio. Blast Burn is Charizard's signature move and is an extremely powerful fire type move. Unfortunately the user of Blast Burn must recharge next round. Charizard has the ability Blaze that boosts fire type moves by 50% when the Pokémon's HP is under a third of its maximum.
Nidoking(Poison/Ground):

Megahorn (Lvl. 43)

Solarbeam is an extremely powerful grass type move that will only work when the sun is out. Sleep Powder makes the foe fall asleep, and is good for hard battles and for catching Pokémon. Victreebell has the ability Chlorophyll that raises it's Speed in sunshine.
Hitmonlee(Fighting):

Rock Slide (Move Tutor in Rock Tunnel)
Brick Break (Lvl. 20)
Strength (HM04)

Rock Slide is a good rock type move that makes it easier to deal with birds. Brick Break is powrful and will break barriers like Reflect and Light Screen. Strength is a good normal type move, and a useful HM. Bulk Up raises the user's Attack and Defense by one step and is good for strategy battling. Hitmonlee has the ability Limber, so it can't be paralyzed.
Snorlax(Normal):

Body Slam (Lvl. 33)

Brick Break is powerful and will break barriers as Reflect and Light Screen. Yawn make the foe fall asleep and is good for long battles and for cathcing legendaries.
Snorlax has the ability Thick Fat, so ice and fire attacks will do less damage.

Psychic (TM29)
Surf (HM03)
Thunderbolt (TM24)

Starmie has great Sp. Atk. and Speed. You can catch Staryu Lvl. 15-30 with the Super Rod several places in the game. It is weak to: Grass(x2), Electric(x2), Bug(x2), Dark(x2) and Ghost(x2).

If Your Starter Is Blastoise, I Suggest:

(Water)
Blastoise - Surf/Hydro Pump/Hydro Cannon, Protect/Withdraw, Rain Dance, Ice Beam. - Blastoise Is a Great Pokemon if Your An Intermediate Trainer like what Prof. Oak said. "It is One Worth Raising", he also said. It is Because Blastoise is Both Offensive and Defensive. You can Choose Between Surf and Hydro Pump. All of You might say that Hydro Pump is Better because of its 120 base Power But When I once Chose Blastoise, I Chose Surf Because of its Reliable Accuracy. Hydro Cannon will also do but It makes Blastoise recharge but it is still up to you. About Protect and Rain Dance, You Can Boost Your Water Moves and Defense Simultaneously. Replacing Withdraw with Protect will also Do. Ice Beam is also a Convenient move for Obliterating Your Type Disadvantage: GRASS
(Fire)
Arcanine(FR)/Ninetails(LG)/Rapidash/Flareon - Fire Blast/Flamethrower, Sunny Day, Double Team (Arcanine,Ninetails,Flareon)/Agility (Rapidash),Extreme Speed (Arcanine)/ Fire Spin (Ninetails)/Stomp (Rapidash)/ Dig (Flareon) - All of the 3 (Arcanine,Rapidash,Ninetails) are good and reliable inside the Battle However, The 4th One was kinda "Underdog" due to its low defense and Speed making it incapable of Staying Longer in the Battle
(Grass)
Exeggutor/Vileplume/Victreebel - Sunny Day, Solar Beam, Razor Leaf(Victreebel)/Giga Drain (Vileplume)/Hypnosis (Exeggutor), Psychic (Exeggutor)/Sleep Powder (Vileplume)/Stun Spore (Victreebel)
(Electric)
Raichu - Thunder, Agility, Rain Dance, Thunder Wave/ Electabuzz - ThunderBolt, Mega Punch, Thunder Wave, Agility/Magneton - Lock-On, Thunder, Zap Cannon (If You can Grind on Leveling it up to 62), Metal Sound/Jolteon - Thunder Bolt, Thunder Wave, Agility, Shadow Ball - If Your Confused about Raichu's Rain Dance, It is a Tactic making the THUNDER attack 100% Accurate. Thunder Attack cannot miss in Rainy Weather
Ground
Nidoking(FR) - Sludge Bomb, Earthquake, Brick Break, Mega Horn
Nidoqueen(LG)- Superpower, Earthquake, Sludge Bomb, Body Slam
(Preferably Dragon Or Bug)
Bug - I Suggest this type because of Gary's (Or Whatever you named him) Final Pokemon: Alakazam.

Preferred Bug Types:
Scyther(FR)- Fury Cutter, Swords Dance, Slash, Agility
High Speed with the combination of the move AGILITY and SWORDS DANCE, It might attack Alakazam OHKO with a Fury Cutter.
Pinsir(LG) - Brick Break, Swords Dance, Guillotine, Bulk Up.
Pinsir don't learn any Bug Types in the 3RD gen but he is still immune to Psychic Attacks. He might not be as fast as Scyther but his Defense is good making stay Quite Longer in the Battle.

Preferred Dragon Type
The One and Only Dragon in FR and LG:

Dragonite - Fly, Outrage, Dragon Claw, Agility
Fly, Ourage, Dragon Claw are all STAB. Agility increases Dragonite's quite low Speed.
I Really Hope this Helped. :)

Preview: Venusaur, Arcanine, Gyarados, Rhydon, Gengar, Dragonite
I really want to hear your opinions, especially regarding Gyarados (compared to Lapras) and Rhydon (would I be better off with a Raichu / Jolteon / Golem / Nidoking / Snorlax / other). That being said, the team I have here has worked for me in the past and covers most types.
Venusaur (Grass / Poison):
Ability: Overgrow
Moves: Frenzy Plant, Giga Drain, Razor Leaf, Sludge Bomb
Maybe it's just me, but I find the grass type to be the weakest overall in Pokemon Fire Red. Venusaur has an average move set to go along with typical starter base stats (525). His stats are well rounded and make him a solid starter, despite many weaknesses (6). Due to these weaknesses, I do not even bother with coverage moves, like I will with the rest of my team. The Overgrow ability along with a Miracle Seed make his grass type moves borderline unstoppable.
Arcanine (Fire):
Ability: Intimidate
Moves: Sunny Day, Flamethrower, SolarBeam, Fire Blast
Arcanine is my personal favorite Pokemon of all time. He is "The Legendary Pokemon" for good reason, as he has the second highest base stat total in Fire Red, behind only Dragonite (Arcanine has 555). Personally, I use a a lot of fire type moves in his move set, as I generally use plenty of STAB moves, so I arm him with Charcoal and a lot of Special Attack EV's. SolarBeam is complete personal coverage, and paired with Sunny Day will attack in one turn. Further, Sunny Day will increase the effectiveness of his other Fire type moves. Overall, Arcanine is significantly better than Charizard, and allows me to use Venusaur, who is the best grass type available.
Gyarados (Water / Flying):
Ability: Intimidate
Moves: Surf, Rain Dance, Hydro Pump, Earthquake
I am truly 50/50 between Lapras and Gyarados. Gyarados has slightly better stats (540 to 535) but suffers from poor Special Attack, which water moves are. I almost never use Flying or Normal type moves with him, so his high Attack stat is useless to me. In this case, though, Earthquake DOES take advantage of his high attack stat and provides some defense against deadly Electric type moves, even if just for one turn. I recommend getting some Special Attack EV's if you plan to use Gyarados, and also using a Mystic Water to boost the power of Surf and Hydro Pump further.
Dragonite (Dragon / Flying):
Ability: Inner Focus
Moves: Fly, Dragon Claw, Flamethrower / Brick Break, Outrage
First, I am unsure about Brick Break as a move. It stands alone, however, as the only fighting type move in my entire lineup, so I see it as somewhat important to have. Dragonite is simply too good to leave off of your team, though the time it takes to train Dragonair is painful. In the end, all of that seemingly wasted experience will yield the most destructive Pokemon in the game, disregarding legendaries. His base stat total of 600 is higher than every Pokemon in the game except Mewtwo, and his very ability to learn many TM's allows for his molding depending on your needs (He can learn Water Pulse, Surf, Ice Beam, Blizzard, Hyper Beam, Iron Tail, Thunder, Thunderbolt, Earthquake, Brick Break, Flamethrower, Fire Blast, and countless others). Thus, going back to Brick Break, it does cover two weaknesses, including the 4x Super-Effective Ice type, but Flamethrower can as well, though it leaves Rock and Electric Types wide open to wail on Dragonite. I recommend hitting Triple 7's over and over again, and getting the Dratini in Celadon (or use the Safari Zone) and then equipping it with a Dragon Fang or Leftovers to make him as powerful as possible.
Rhydon (Rock / Ground)
Ability: Lightning Rod
Moves: Earthquake, Ice Beam, Thunderbolt, Rock Blast
First, the ability. I hate both of Rhydon's ability. Lightning Rod is only effective in Double battles, but Rock Head has no use to me at all, since I don't use Take Down or any other move with recoil. This particular Rhydon's move set is my personal favorite, as 4 different types of moves are used. Therefore, Rhydon serves as my main coverage Pokemon, and can also defend himself from many types of enemies. That being said, there are many other suitable replacements for Rhydon, and I am interested to see what others use, as I am not sold on using Rhydon, due to his relatively low stats overall, especially compared to the aforementioned replacements.
Gengar (Ghost / Poison):
Ability: Levitate
Moves: Hypnosis + Dream Eater / Destiny Bond + Shadow Punch , Shadow Ball, Psychic
The odd thing about Gengar is that he is weak to the same types that he is Super-Effective on, which makes him an odd choice. That being said, his insane Special Attack and Speed ensure that you will have the first chance at damaging the foe, and generally with life-threatening damage. If you plan to use him as a primarily Ghost type Pokemon, then be sure to EV train for Attack (that corresponds with the 2nd move set) and Speed. If not, then EV train for Special Attack. Speed is vital if Destiny Bond is going to be in the move set because it gives the foe no time to stop using damaging attacks if used first, as the foe will attack 2nd after Destiny Bond has been used and likely cause itself to faint. I recommend giving Gengar a Twisted Spoon to assist Psychic and Dream Eater if using move set 1, or a Spell Tag if using move set 2.
That's all I've got. Please give any tips or suggestions. Although I have been playing this game for a lot of my childhood, and more so since I gave up on the newer games (Gen 5 and further) since they seemed pretty lame, I am relatively new to the more competitive nature where EV's, moves, coverage, and natures matter (I didn't include natures for time sake). Thus, any ideas or things to consider would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for reading!

Nice team overall.I even upvoted it but I have some suggestions to make it even better.
1. Sludge Bomb is available post-game, in the Sevii Islands so Venusaur is stuck with only one STAB option.
2.Leech Seed is great on Venusaur but the way you use Overgrow is also good.
3. Offensively,Exeggutor is better than Venusaur as a Grass type.
4. Arcanine is missing ExtremeSpeed which is great for netting Knock Outs on faster pokemon.Replace either of the STAB moves with it.
5. Lapras is way better than Gyarados but only before Gen 4. A Lapras with Surf, Ice Beam,Thunder/Thunderbolt qnd Rain Dance would be great.
6. If planning to use Gyarados,adding another physical move like Thrash would be better.
7.Nice Dragonite set.It would be better to use only Outrage and replace Dragon Claw with coverage if you use the Switch battle style.
8.Gengar sets are awesome,Set 1 being the better one.
9. Use Snorlax or Jolteon in place of Rhydon as that poor special attack makes special moves very weak.
Snorlax is better used with Lapras as she completes BoltBeam while Jolteon should be used as a dedicated Electric type if you use Gyarados.
That's all from my side.I know 9 suggestions are a lot but 1 and 3 are just disclaimers. Sorry if you think I am rude but hey I gave you your first upvote on this answer.

My team: Charizard, Seadra, Gyarados, Electrode, Primeape, Alakazam
Charizard - Fire/ Flying
enter image description here

Ability: Blaze
Nature: Modest/ Timid
- Flamethrower
- Wing Attack
- Metal Claw/ Steel Wing
- Fly
Flying Red Lizard! My starter, obtained very early in the game. Flamethrower and Wing Attack gain STAB, Fly use for traveling, Metal Claw or Steel Wing cover Rock weakness. I found it hard to catch Fire type Pokemon in this version because they are very rare, also using Charizard helps me having one more slot for other Pokemon instead of a Flying type one.
Seadra - Water
enter image description here

Ability: Poison Point
Nature: Modest/ Timid
- Surf
- Waterfall
- Ice Beam
- Twister
Pure Water Type Dragon! Using him to deal with other Dragon type gives him a big advantage since Dragon and Ice moves have normal effects on him, but remember his poor Sp. Def. Surf and Waterfall gain STAB and use for traveling, Ice Beam and Twister turn him into a dragon-killer.
Gyarados - Water/ Flying
enter image description here

Ability: Intimidate
Nature: Jolly/ Adamant
- Rain Dance
- Dragon Dance
- Earthquake
- Idk, Hydro Pump?
Rage Dragon! Honestly, I didn't mean to use him at first but when I bought him from the saleman in the PC near Mt. Moon, he was a shiny Magikarp. Rain Dance to power up Seadra's Water moves, Dragon Dance gives him Attack and Speed, Earthquake deals with Electric type. I also have one last slot, maybe you can choose Hydro Pump to give him STAB or other physical moves like Body Slam, Double-Edge,...
Electrode - Electric
enter image description here

Ability: Static
Nature: Modest/ Timid
- Spark/ Thunderbolt
- Thunder Wave
- Light Screen
- Flash/ Thunder
Fast and furious Pokeball! His Speed and Defense outweight Raichu's and Jolteon's. Spark or Thunderbolt give him STAB, Thunder Wave paralyzes the target, Light Screen improves the team's Sp. Def in 5 turns, Flash uses for lighting up dark areas and lowering opponent's Accuracy or you can try using Thunder during Gyarados's Rain Dance.
Primeape - Fighting
enter image description here

Ability: Vital Spirit
Nature: Jolly/ Adamant
- Brick Break
- Focus Energy
- Strength
- Rock Slide
Angry Pig Monkey! I prefer him to Machamp because he looks more "Pokemon" than humanoid-Machamp. Brick Break STAB, pairs with Focus Energy makes critical hits land more easily. Strength use for moving boulders and dealing massive damage, Rock Slide takes care of Flying weakness.
Alakazam - Psychic
enter image description here

Ability: Synchronoize
Nature: Modest/ Timid
- Psychic
- Recover
- Reflect
- Calm Mind
Foxy Genius! Since I figured out how to trade using My Boy emulator, I replaced Hypno with Alakazam. Catching this guy may make you exhausted. Psychic gains STAB, Recover regains half of his maximum HP, Reflect cuts down the power of physical moves in 5 turns, Calm Mind gives him Sp. Attack and Sp. Def.

Blastoise, Pikachu/Raichu, Dugtrio, Fearow, Flareon, Haunter/Gengar
Blastoise: Surf, Waterfall, Ice Beam, Earthquake
-Surf and Waterfall are both STAB HM moves. Surf will be used more due to its higher base power and better utility, although Waterfall can help if you run out of PP. Ice Beam and Earthquake are coverage.
Raichu: Thunderbolt, Thunder Wave, Thief, Strength
-You get a Pikchu early in the game, and it helps soon with Misty. Thunderbolt is STAB. Thunder Wave helps with catching wild Pokemon. Thief is used to snag items from wild Pokemon. Strength is an HM.
Dugtrio: Earthquake, Aerial Ace, Cut, Rock Slide
You can catch Dugtrio at Level 31 in Diglett's Cave, which at that point in the game might be a higher level than your starter Pokemon. If not, then it will still likely be a higher level than the rest of your team. With high Speed and solid Attack, Dugtrio is a solid Pokemon for ingame. Arena Trap even makes wild encounters more likely, which can be helpful for training or finding a specific Pokemon. Earthquake is very high powered STAB with great coverage. Aerial Ace is coverage, as is Rock Slide. Cut is an HM.
Fearow: Drill Peck, Fly, Steel Wing, Hyper Beam
Your Flying type. You get it early on in the game, meaning you can start training it right away. Fly is a favored HM because it lets you get from place to place with ease. Drill Peck is a much more useful move for battling though. Steel Wing provides type coverage. Return is STAB.
Flareon: Flamethrower, Shadow Ball, Body Slam, Dig
-Flamethrower is STAB. Shadow Ball is coverage. Bod Slam is just a move that can paralyze the foe. Dig is to escape from caves.
Haunter/Gengar: Shadow Ball, Thunderbolt, Giga Drain, Sludge Bomb
-Use Haunter if you can't trade. It's a fine Pokemon, but Gengar is just incredible. Shadow Ball and SLudge Bomb are STAB. WHile you likely won't be using Sludge Bomb often, SHadow Ball is very useful against the Alakazam line. Thunderbolt and Giga Drain are coverage.

I used a bunch of fast frail sweepers, but it worked I guess (only just beat elite 4 so I won't suggest aftergame moves)
Venusaur with Razor Leaf, Sleep Powder, Double-Edge and Leech Seed
Starmie with Surf, Blizzard, Psychic and Recover
Magmar with Flamethrower, Fire Punch, Strength, Confuse Ray
Electrode with Spark, Charge, Shock Wave and Light Screen
Dugtrio with Rock Tomb (Rubbish), Magnitude (Rubbish), Dig (Rubbish) and Slash (Rubbish)
Primeape with Mega Punch, Rock Slide, Brick Break, Cross Chop
By the way my Dugtrio is level 49 so it doesn't know EQ yet but definitely teach him it and it has rock tomb because Primeape has Rock Slide.
And a suggested HM slave : Meowth. It knows flash and cut, but it is the best HM slave because of it's ability, Pickup. It gave me TM10 Hidden Power.

This is my team, after I obtained the national dex and after a bit of ev training it's virtually unstoppable, hope this helps here:
Charizard- level 70
Moves- blast burn - Fly - Dragon Claw - Slash
Overall, the favourite of my team, specialises in sp atk and he's diverse as he can beat dragons , fighting types , grass , bug , ice , and pretty much anything it's neutral against, hard starter to work up, definitely worth it.
Vaporeon- Level 67
Moves-Hydro pump-Ice beam-haze- water pulse?/anything really
Vaporeon is brilliant and in my opinion underrated , with a sp atk of 188 and sp def of 185 and hp of 256 this Pokemon is very good at sponging the move types it's weak too grass-electric, and put ice type moves in combination with vaporeon , you've got yourself an official dragon slayer (Charizard being my backup)
Snorlax-60
Moves-Body slam- hyper beam- earthquake- Rollout.
Snorlax , in my opinion is one of those Pokemon I always find on my team because of how brilliant he is, with a massive hp , 296 and attack and sp def of 150+ makes him so tanky and destructive it's unreal, he's able to take on pretty much anything that's thrown at him which is brilliant in unpredictable scenarios.
Crobat-63
Moves-Poison fang- Arielace - mean look- Confuse ray
Crobat has got to be one of - if not my favorite flying type, this is because he is incredibly fast; 216 and has a high attack; 170, and poison type moves and flying type moves are physical in gen 3 plus he will get a stab out of them and if you combine that with confuse ray , you've got yourself a pain in the ass to deal with so overall I recommend crobat.
Manectric-62
Moves- Bite?/anything really, thunder , shockwave, thunder wave?/anything really
Manectric is a personal favourite of mine, whereas anybody else would think otherwise , I think Manectric is brilliant, high sp atk high speed and high atk it seems like an ideal electric type for me, with reliable yet powerful moves like shockwave and the ability lightning rod, it's also very good in dual battle. I also traded to get this, national dex needs to be obtained and sevii Islands needs to be done.
Scizor-40 (not finished training)
Moves (so far) - Metal claw- Slash-agility-false swipe
I haven't finished training up scizor yet but already I've been able to take on level 50-55 s with him and come out victorious , he has a very high attack and high defence, and the fact that it's a steel type is very helpful in leafgreen because there is only a few others, He can literally take on anything and the move false swipe is also good when dealing with legendaries-always leaves 1hp-
Overall this team is very good, others might disagree but I had no trouble with any of the elite four, and the first time I did the elite four all I had then was, Charizard, golbat, vaporeon, Snorlax and gengar. But it's a worthwhile team that works! Hoped this helped! ^-^

here is my current elite 4 team for leaf green.

Blastoise
Jolteon
Hitmonchan
Dodrio
Exeggutor
Rhydon

Blastoise:
Surf
Hydro cannon/ Hydro Pump
Blizzard/Ice Beam
A move that complements its nature( skull Bash etc..)/ Rain Dance
Surf is obvious, STAB+a powerful move+over-world use. Hydro cannon/ pump is there to deal with the foes that you think you can one hit. So Bruno, Koga etc. Blizzard/ice beam for coverage against your rival. Blastoise is mixed so its nature should determine its next move. Or Raindance for Thunder.
Jolteon:
Thunderbolt
Shock-wave
Thunder
Agility/Signal-beam
T-bolt for reliable STAB and shockwave as a back up. Thunder should be used to take on large foes like lorelies Lapras. This thing is very speedy so agility is not needed. I would go for signal beam.
Hitmonchan:
Sky Uppercut
Brick Break
MegaPunch
Thunder Punch/ Ice Punch
Sky uppercut to deal with risky foes like Blues Pidgoet +STAB. Brick Break for STAB and Mega Punch as a backup. Thunder/Ice punch for coverage, I go Ice but it's up to you.
Dodrio:
Fly
Steel wing
Tri-Attack
Aerial Ace
Fly for overworld use and a good, strong STAB move. Aerial ace for a never miss STAB move. Steel Wing for coverage and an all round good move. Tri attack for STAB and a chance to burn, paralyses or freeze.
Exeggutor:
Psychic
Giga Drain
Solar Beam
Egg Bomb
Psychic and Solar beam for powerful STAB moves. Egg Bomb, if the nature supports it, can be devastating. Giga Drain for STAb recovery.
Rhydon:
Earthquake
Takedown
RockBlast
Horn drill
E-quake and rock blast for powerful STAb moves. Takedown for foes that resist your other moves. Finally, as a last line of defence, horndrill for 1HKO's on foes you out level.

Best Team: Charizard, Nidoking, Starmie, Jolteon, Dragonite, Bellsprout (HM Slave)
Charizard: Flamethrower, Fly, Dragon Claw, Strength
When you get Charmander it can take on the first gym as it learns Metal Claw to kill the Rock Types. Then, as you come out of Mt. Moon, there is a move tutor that can teach it Mega Kick - For the second Gym. It can defeat these types with its moves: Grass, Ice, Steel, Bug, Fighting and Dragon. It is weak to: Water, Rock and Electric.
Nidoking: Earthquake, Shadow Ball, Megahorn and Rock Slide. Catch a NidoranFemale before you go into Mt. Moon. Then when you take the underground tunnel, trade for a NidoranMale - NidoranMale has better attack, plus from the trade it will gain boosted EXP. It can defeat these types with its moves: Rock, Fire, Steel, Electric, Ghost, Psychic, Dark, Grass, Ice, Flying and Bug. It is weak to: Water, Ice, Psychic and Ground.
Starmie: Surf, Psychic, Ice Beam and Confuse Ray. Catch a Staryu in Verilimon City and evolve it with a Water Stone. Starmie is very fast and has really high special attack. It can defeat these types with its moves: Fire, Rock, Ground, Poison, Fighting, Flying, Dragon and Grass. It is weak to: Electric, Grass, Dark, Ghost and Bug.
Jolteon: Thunderbolt, Thunder, Thunder Wave and Hyper Beam. In Celadon City, in a building, there is an Eevee - evolve it to Jolteon with a Thunder Stone. Jolteon has extremely high special attack and will out speed almost anything. It can defeat these types with its moves: Water and Flying.It is weak to: Ground.
Dragonite: Outrage, Fly, WaterFall, Flamethrower. Catch a Dratini/Dragonair in the Safari Zone. Very powerful. It can defeat these types with its moves: Dragon, Grass, Fighting, Bug, Rock, Ground, Fire, Steel and Ice. It is weak to: Dragon, Ice and Rock.
Bellsprout (HM Slave): Cut, Flash, Sleep Powder, Poison Powder. Bellsprout can use Cut to get you through small trees and Flash for dark caves. You can catch it in Cerulean City.

Not everyone wants to spend 11,500 coins on those TM's. Boost that to 15,500 if you don't want to keep your Growlithe until level 49 or so to learn Flamethrower.

commented Jul 28, 2016 by SnorlaxFTW

1. Blastoise set is great and I really liked it.
2. Don't use Dig and Double kick on Jolteon. He has way low attack and both these are physical.
3. Shadow ball bad on Alakazam,due to same reason as Jolteon
4. Golem is also good ,no suggestions for it.
5. Again,Shadow ball and Brick break bad on Gengar due to same reason as Jolteon and Alakazam.
6. Arcanine is OK but you don't need 2 STABs. Put ExtremeSpeed,Bite/Crunch,Aerial Ace and either of Flamethrower or Fire Blast.
Thats all.

commented Sep 8, 2016 by SKYHIGHMEGARAYQUAZA

@SKYHIGHMEGARAYQUAZA shadow ball is special attack not physical

commented Apr 3 by Lunith36

Shadow ball is ghost type and all ghost type moves are physical in Generation 3.
Check it above @Lunith36. The Physical Special demarcation was made in Generation 4.
Before that whether a move considered physical or special depended upon it's type.You can check which types are physical and which special.It's mentioned in the question itself @Lunith36

Team Preview:
Venosaur - grass
Dodrio - flying
Gyarados - water/dragon
Raichu - electric
Snorlax - fighting
Arcanine - Fire
Venosaur - Grass Type Pokemon
Ability: Overgrow
Moveset: Razor Leaf - Cut - Bulletseed/Solarbeam - Sleeppowder
Notes: I try to spread my HMs evenly across my main team so Cut falls on the grass type. Razor Leaf is a useful STAB, Bulletseed very useful until later stages in the game and sleeppowder makes catching Pokemon easier. Oh and its a starter Pokemon that levels pretty quickly an is useful against the first two gyms.
Dodrio - Flying type
Ability - Run Away
Moveset: Drillpeck - Fly - TriAttack - (last one is totally up to player)
Notes: Best of the non legendary bird types, can learn fly, great STAB moves. Immune to ground and ghost, strong against grass and bug. Get quite late in the game but comes at a fairly high level.
Raichu - Electric
Ability: Static
Moveset: Thunderbolt, Thunder, Shockwave, Flash
Notes: Electric Pokemon are probably one the strongest types in firered. Could change flash for quick attack so not to heavily dependent on elemental based moves but thats optional.
Snorlax - Fighting
Ability: Immune
Moveset: Rest - Snore - Strength - Bodyslam
Notes: Strong starting stats, most would get rid of rest/snore but they can be really helpful in tough situations, if Snorlax is last man standing you can depend on him to play the long game! Plus he is immune to poison and other annoying bug type moves.
Arcanine - Fire
Ability - Intimidate
Moveset: Fireblast - Flamethrower - Overheat - Dig
Notes: Strong overall stats. Was originally going to be a legendary Pokemon hence the stats.
Gyarados - Water Dragon
Ability: Intimidate
Moveset: Surf - Hyper Beam- Hydro Pump - Earthquake
Notes: If you can go through the pain of leveling him up from magikarp then its worth it. A very cool Pokemon, very strong against a number of types, loses some of the weakeness of normal waters due to the dragon part, can learn very powerful moves. I level it up by just using Magikarp for each fight then swapping to the suitable Pokemon so it gains half exp. Only need to get it to level 20 and can have it pretty early on.
