Should I use Breloom or Cacturne for my Emerald playthrough?

So I decided to do Pokemon emerald with hardcore rules and so I started with torchick and get blaziken but then I realized for a balanced team I need a grass type so my options are breloom and cacturne. I cant figure whose dual typing will be better in hoenn so please help me complete my team.

Breloom

Cacturne

As you can see, grass types are either horrendous or don’t suit to Blaziken team, except maybe Vileplume.

One grass Pokemon that’s a lot better than Cacturne (and doesn’t share a type with Blaziken) is Vileplume, which gets sleep powder and sludge bomb.commented 1 hour ago by sumwun

You can also use it (Sleep Powder helps your team greatly), but I would give you a better alternative, mainly for Flying types Blaziken is weak to.

Grass typing covers Water, Rock & Ground right? So I would recommend you a good Electric type and a Water type.

Manectric has good attacking stats, available early, is fast, useful against Winona, Juan and Wallace, and is able to counter water types, but it has poor movepool.

ManectricAbility: Static / Lightning Rod- Thunderbolt- Thunder Wave- Bite / Crunch (if you can acquire)- Strength / anything else

Tentacruel is available as early as Dewford town, is fast, is a great surfer, useful against Flannery, Winona (Ice Beam) and Drake (Ice Beam again), and is able to counter rock and ground types.

TentacruelAbility: Liquid Ooze / Clear Body- Surf- Waterfall- Dive- Ice Beam

Hope this helps :)
