Anyone else remember seeing Metagross and Salamence for the first time wondering where on earth did they find them?

[@johannesheinrich9240]

ha ha ha, oh yes. That was also what made them so strong back in the days... that you don't know them (especially the steel/psycho type from Metagross wa confusing for me when I didn't know it)

There was so much heart and soul put into these early Pokemon games. It's amazing how they managed to convey so much in such subtle ways through such simple graphics, like how the character's reflections show on the floor in the Champion's hall, making it seem more mystical.

[@IDontNeedYourShittyHandle]

Steven's party is a badass team of Pokemon, and utterly refreshing after an endgame full of tired water types, if not utterly terrifying because of a high chance of you losing to him.

[@anonymouspokemon4623]

Steven's Gen 3 team is garbage, actually. Aggron with Thunder, Cradily. His team can be a LOT better now that there are lots of better new Rock and Steel Pokemon like Tyrantrum and Magnezone.

[@IDontNeedYourShittyHandle]

0:30 This is an actual competitive strategy. Magneton (or Magnezone) is often used to get rid of Skarmory because it can hit it super effectively and has an ability that prevents the Skarmory from switching out. On that note, Steven's Skarmory even has Spikes in its moveset.

Do you get that shaking feeling when batteling a Pokemon champion? I did in 4th grade, i squeezed the homework, JUST TO BEAT STEVEN. It was worth IT. This badass theme.

[@gabrieltyranitar647]

This battle is harder if you choose Treecko as starter. Blaziken hits super-effectively most of his Pokémon (except for Claydol and Armaldo). This also happens with Swampert except for Skarmory and Cradily. Sceptile only hits super-effectively Claydol.

[@Smart1529]

yeah but you can teach Sceptile Brick Break to fix that issue

[@ConstantinKlose-sj4mb]

@@Smart1529 brick break is only very effective against aggron. Considering how high its defense stat is and how low sceptile's attack stat is in comparison, the best way is from the special side a.k.a water moves with Swampert.

[@Smart1529]

@@ConstantinKlose-sj4mb you forgot Cradily and also you are not suppose to rely on one Pokemon to take Steven

[@acidace9239]

thats why treecko was never chosen unless you were like me and played emerald and wanted to choose the starter that was green because rayquaza was green

[@Smart1529]

@@acidace9239 no I picked Treecko because I love Treecko and my first Gen 3 game I played was Sapphire and in that game you will have a much easier route getting rid of water type pokemon quickly. Sceptile is not even a bad Pokemon it doesnt have a second type until the remakes where it Mega evolves

[@ladyselin35]

Wow I remember his Skarmory had sturdy.

[@ladyselin35]

Yeah i remember now. Pity i never used pokemon with sturdy in that generation.

[@A.R.C.1997]

Imagine the Skarmory was shiny, you would NEVER, ever, catch it. Because he would block the ball, and spam Full Restores like Lance from Golder, also, if you WERE to catch a trainer pokemon, you would get a BadEgg

In my opinion, Steven Stone is my 2nd favorite champion after Cynthia of Sinnoh.

[@lukereilly9844]

He's the toughest imo. Even more than cynthia

[@someone_random1049]

@@lukereilly9844 Have you even played DPPt? I played Ruby and he can't reach the same level of difficulty as Cynthia. I was only able to beat Cynthia with Giratina. She has type coverage and AI. So if u switch a pokemon that has type advantage on hers, she'd switch it out. But I still love Steven as a champion also.

[@arslaanpasha3334]

Luke Reilly lance is the most toughest

[@Onigirli]

@@lukereilly9844 No way. Lance is my favourite but the other guy is right, Cynthia was ridiculously hard.

[@aina6501]

Agreed. Cynthia is hard af, especially her Spiritomb and Garchomp (fairy types didn't exist prior to gen 6), and has a balamced team. If you are talking about doing actual Champion duties, Steven has Cynthia beat in that category. Looking back in RSE/ORAS, Steven appeared in Granite cave, Route 117 or 118, route 120, Mossdeep City (his house and space center), Sootopolis City, Southern Island, Battle Resort, that one route in the middle of water (i forgot), in Devon Corp. (In delta episode), Meteor Falls, and of course, in the Pokemon league. There, he mostly gave guide to the trainer guides and advices while giving out actual things to help (Devon scope, Steel wing, Key stone, Metagrossite, a Beldum if you become the Champion). He also helped in the duo battle, and in saving Hoenn in the main story and delta episode. This is just on the main Hoenn games. Cynthia, on the other hand, first appeared in the city where the grass type gym is located, helped you clear the way to Celestia town, she was also found near one of the lakes, went to the distortion world with you (to find giratina and cyrus), in the Pokemon League and in the island resort, in your villa (which is saud to be Steven's). That's on DPPt (and I'm still screaming for Sinnoh remakes) Long story short, read the my first paragraph bcuz i only explained the Champion thingy.

[@Stephen12396]

Congratulations to Magneton, Golduck, Flygon, Crobat, Aggron, and Swampert.

[@gabrieltyranitar647]

- Magneton isn't bad, but its stats are too mediocre except for Special Attack. - Golduck has decent stats, while can hit the most difficult Elite Four members with Calm Mind, Ice Beam and Surf. - Flygon is pretty good, but takes too long to evolve. - Crobat starts off quite weak, but after its final evolution is quite good. - Aggron has a mediocre movepool in this generation, and even its type isn't great in-game. - Swampert is probably the best Hoenn Starter, though Water is the most common type in Hoenn.

Full team is weak to double kick because each and every pokemon was steel or rock type
