Pokemon questions (questions mainly based on PKM Ruby)?

Question

i have a few questions

1. I have a level 26 kirlia, who has the ability trace and she has a calm nature. I want to enter it to a contest. what kind of contest should i enter her in and what kind of pokeblocks should i make her? Please give a detailed explanation about which kind of contest i should go in and what's the best berries to give her ( Just name the best barries possible, i'll do what ever i can to get them).

2. what kind, taste, flavor of pokeblocks would my kirlia like? And also, what pokeblock would train my kirlia well for contest but also make it like me more?

3. which one's better? Flygon or Salamence?

4. I just trained a masquerain, should I keep it in my PC and use some other pokemon or keep masquerain in my party? (because i've heard it has some bad stats)

5. what are the best pokemon you can get in pokemon ruby? (please do not list the ones that i can only get by nintendo event specials like deoxys, mew, and latias. but if you have a way to get them by action replay please tell me anyways)

6. When will my kirlia (or gardevoir if it evolves) learn mythical leaf?

7. What's the best pokemon to beat the lavaridge gym with? (a pokemon i can get)

Please answer my questions, and thank you so much.

Answer 1

1. Contests are not my area of expertise.

2. See 1.

3. It depends what role you want the pokemon to play on your team (physical sweeper, special sweeper, mixed sweeper) but in most cases, Salamence is better beacuse of it's versatile movepool.

Physical Sweeper:

- Dragon Claw

- Earthquake

- Stone Edge

- Flamethrower / Draco Meteor

Special Sweeper: (preferably with Choice Specs)

- Draco Meteor

- Flamethrower

- Hydro Pump

- Dragon Pulse

4. Personally, it doesn't matter what Pokemon you use to complete the game with, but I personally wouldn't use that.

5. You can get ALL POKEMON with action replay, but that's cheating. If you want to make a battle team, you have to email mewith more details.

6. Kirlia's Magical Leaf can be learned via Move Tutor FireRed/LeafGreen. Gardevoir cannot learn Magical Leaf. You really should take a look at

serebii.net.

7. imo, you don't really need to even TRY to beat that gym, but a water or a ground type will do nicely.

If you have any other in-depth questions, email me at [e-mail], I'll help you to the best of my ability.
