Should I use both Blaziken and Breloom in Pokemon Emerald?

2 minute read

I think Vileplume/Bellossom instead of Breloom would be better because it overlaps with the Fighting-type, but anyways.

Both Blaziken and Breloom are great Pokemon by themselves, but using 2 fighting Pokemon on the same team isn’t the best use of your experience.

Vileplume is usually a bit worse than those other 2 because of its lower attack stats and lack of coverage against poison or steel, but it’s still pretty good because of sleep powder and solar beam. If you want to use it, be sure to catch your Oddish on Route 119 so it arrives at a higher level and you spend less experience raising it. The moveset should look something like this.

Vileplume @ miracle seedAbility: chlorophyllEVs: 100 Atk- sludge bomb- sleep powder- sunny day- solar beam

If you really want to cover both water and ground with the same Pokemon, one alternative is Starmie. Its wider movepool lets it also cover a bunch of other types.

Starmie @ mystic waterAbility: natural cureEVs: 100 SpA- surf- psychic- thunderbolt- ice beam

If you don’t really want to cover both water and ground with the same Pokemon, I recommend using Gardevoir over both Vileplume and Starmie. Gardevoir has higher special attack and learns calm mind.

Gardevoir @ shell bellAbility: it doesn’t really matter, neither are all that great.EVs: 100 Spe- psychic- calm mind- thunderbolt- reflect

Blaziken and Breloom both suffer from the Physical Special Split.Fire and Grass BOTH fall under special attack

You can still utilize their high-attack but again it is how you see yourself using them.

On the other hand Vile/Bell both have good special stats but Vileplume has POISON which is physical AND is weak to psychic like the other two. Bellsom can be hurt easily by a lot but is slightly bulky. You can also use sunny day from bellosom to its AB and boost solar beam/fire moves

In the enduse what you want and needboth of them are easy level-ups while Gloom will need a stone and is a pretty harsh move pool to level up with.
