What is the best Ground-type for OR/AS in-game teams?

I’m stuck on which one to pick. I would like one not too late-game, if possible.

The best ground Pokemon is almost definitely Swampert. It can become ground type and learn mud shot at level 16, which is easy to reach before the second gym. Before the sixth gym, you can get the Swampertite and raise Swampert’s base physical attack to 150. Only 2 ground Pokemon (primal Groudon and mega Garchomp) have a higher base attack stat, and neither are obtainable nearly as early as Mudkip. This is the moveset that I would recommend.Swampert @ SwampertitieEVs: 100 Spe- earthquake- waterfall- stone edge- ice beam/hammer arm

If you don’t want to use Swampert for whatever reason (such as the fact that grass starters are always the best), then I’m pretty sure the next best ground Pokemon is Camerupt. Fire ground is a good offensive type combination, and Numel can learn powerful moves like lava plume, earth power, and overheat pretty early.Camerupt @ expert beltEVs: 100 SpA- overheat/flamethrower- earthquake/earth power- stone edge- yawn/eruptionsource

I’d say, pickflygon.It’s available through mid game with flygon’s base form trapinch found after 4th badge.

Flygon :Flygon @ soft sand (anything else that helps, doesn’t matter)-Earthquake , Obvious STAB-Dragon Claw/outrage , STAB preferably dragon claw.-Stone Edge ,coverage-U-Turn/Roost (filler)

You probably want for beating Flannery.I’m sorry but you have to manage with something else.

Hope I helped!
