Pretty sure Emboar can learn Stone Edge, but you can't get the TM until after the E4.

Emboar learns Head Smash at LV50. My Emboar knows it. It's a pretty effective Rock-type move, but it has crippling recoil if it scores a OHKO.

Besides that, Emboar doesn't have a movepool with much variety. It can learn TM93 (Wild Charge), a strong Electric-type Take Down. It can also learn TM74 (Gyro Ball). Give it an Iron Ball or a Macho Brace or something and you'll be good to go.

EDIT: Oh, and 1000th post FTW!

Except that it can't take hits, so purposefully making it slower than the enemy is a horrible idea.

I'm pretty sure rock smash is fighting type, so it probably won't be much help.
Also, I think Emboar can learn scald because scald is boiling water, which requires fire.

Oops I meant rock tomb, not rock smash.
But I was talking about archeops anyways.

Pretty sure Emboar can learn Stone Edge, but you can't get the TM until after the E4.

Yeah, could be worthwhile, it is a 100 power move. However, no STAB bonus, but still.


Anywho, I trained up a bunch on Audinos on route 10 the last few days, and I should be good to go for the elite 4. I'm gonna try it right away now. I'll give you guys my results and such after I win/lose.

My team:
Emboar - 60
Chandelure - 55
Krookodile - 55
Archeops - 53
Basculin - 52
Zebstrika - 51

A while ago I was creating gym battles for my brother to fight against, where all my Pokemon would have one similar type. The rules were, they were all at level 60, had to have one similar type, and I had to have at least one Pokemon from each generation (not counting V, since it wasn't around in Diamond version). I ended up making two gyms before I finished:

ROCK GYM:
Aerodactyl - Rock/Flying
Kabutops - Rock/Water
Lunatone - Rock/Psychic
Magcargo - Rock/Fire
Rampardos - Rock
Rhyperior - Rock/Ground

NORMAL GYM:
Blissey - Normal
Granbull - Normal
Kecleon - Normal
Porygon-Z - Normal
Snorlax - Normal
Togekiss - Normal/Flying

It's kind of a fun little mini-game I play inside my game once I beat it, to make the best and most diverse gyms possible

[AzureAngel17]

Yeah, I'm totally still on Diamond. At some point I want to pick up HeartGold (for Sandshrew!), but I'm so far behind that I don't know when I'll get to B/W. Probably by the time this generation's third game is out (Grey?).

That does fit with the games I've wound up playing most. Yellow, Crystal, Emerald, Diamond...

You're not in it for a STAB bonus, you're in it for the coverage and for Flying types.

My team:
Emboar - 60
Chandelure - 55
Krookodile - 55
Archeops - 53
Basculin - 52
Zebstrika - 51

I went at it with a team of straight 50's. You'll be fine.

I was going to link that earlier. I love the end when he says "One wonders why the protagonist is the only one who thinks to rock up with more then four of the little ****s." I always wondered that myself

[TheRollingBones]

Right, I forgot, I won the elite four the day I posted that I was gonna try it. I had type advantages over everything, I think, and high levels, so it was all pretty easy. Even Ghetsis' Hydregion was no match for my Archeops' dragon claw, plus I obviously caught Reshiram, so that helped in the last 2. I then caught Tornadus after. I borrowed Chrono Trigger and started it a couple days ago, so I haven't totally "finished" Black (haven't been to all cities yet), but I'll do it.

Oh yeah, and I also finally got my dad to let me install Portal on his computer. Unrelated, but cool! It's an awesome game.
