wow why does the guy who's called steven stone, lurks in caves and gives you steel wing happen to use rock ground and steel pokemon really makes u think
You're actually doing him a disservice by giving him defensive shitmons like those.
What's the worst they're gonna do, spam Superpower until that monstrous base defense is sliced into ribbons?
His team is how to do a type specialist right, as opposed to lance who's how to do it wrong. 3 Steel Types, 3 Rock types, a ground type, and a variety of secondary typings that nullify various weaknesses.
If there were more mons in the Hoenn dex, I would say to replace his Claydol with a Steelix. Or maybe even a Starmie to add more type diversity, and since it’s a Pokémon with a gem in the middle and evolves with a stone. Kinda fits his vibe.
Yes he is
Make him rematchable in Emerald after beating a frontier brain and give him the following team
In my opinion, Steven is a decent champion. His team is not exceptional, but it is quite decent and balanced. It has good diversity and his pokemon have good movepools and abilities. His team is not very difficult to beat, but it is also not a pushover like Lance's or Diantha's teams can sometimes feel.
But if you want to improve the champion's team, I would recommend giving him some new and stronger pokemon that match his personality and theme. Some good choices could be Metagross or Aggron, these two in particular would complement his team well.
Because this entire site is under constant assault from israelis paying indian call center groups to shill aggressively and any board that's not deemed important enough to warrant direct hands-on interaction is still subjected to chatgpt-powered replybots.
You don't really think everyone on this website is as degenerate and brainrot as the catalog makes it look, do you?
his team is based and fits his theme well. i remember i reset my save file because i couldn't beat him with my sceptile and a kid at school told me blaziken or swampert would be better
? the team is soulful
Everything but Cradily gets swept by Surf or Earthquake.
Three are weak to surf and two weak to ground with Aggron being an overlap
wow why does the guy who's called steven stone, lurks in caves and gives you steel wing happen to use rock ground and steel pokemon really makes u think
Why is the champion/final boss of the game such a pisseasy fight is a better question.
ok make a better team only using steel rock ground pokemon from gen 1-3
>soulful
Refrain from using meaningless buzzwords that get spammed every day
Cut Skarmory, Aggron and Armaldo.
Claydol is now lead.
Add the 3 Regis.
>inb4 NOOOOO MUH LEGENDARIES
they're the fucking Regis
You're actually doing him a disservice by giving him defensive shitmons like those.

pre-gen 8 they could all be decent stallmons
invest on HP and whichever def is weaker (or evenly for steel)
held leftovers
curse/amnesia
seismic toss
toxic/t-wave
damaging STAB
Why not Deoxys?
Emerald already fixes this by sending this jobber to a gay cave and making Wallace the true champion
Replacing him with an even worse homosexual who gets BTFO by Electric mons and makes two major trainers in the game Water specialists. Fucking bravo.
>homosexual
GF wanted to make sure their core demo felt represented for once.
lance has the strongest team of any NPC in the entire series, barring the paradox professor
*Cynthia
>his HGSS rematch team has 2 Ubers, 2 OUs, 1 UU and 1 NU
A shame 4 of them are weak 4x weak to ice attacks
His team is how to do a type specialist right, as opposed to lance who's how to do it wrong. 3 Steel Types, 3 Rock types, a ground type, and a variety of secondary typings that nullify various weaknesses.
Lance does it exactly the same though. 3 Dragon-types, 1 Water-type, 1 Rock-type and 1 Fire-type.
>6 Flying types
Lance is not a Flying-type specialist.
If there were more mons in the Hoenn dex, I would say to replace his Claydol with a Steelix. Or maybe even a Starmie to add more type diversity, and since it’s a Pokémon with a gem in the middle and evolves with a stone. Kinda fits his vibe.
Yes he is
Honestly kinda based. While I like Starmie as a pick for him, I would keep Skarmory in there somewhere, either in Starmie’s place or T-tar’s
They don't want you to know this, but Dragons are actually birds
>he isn't because...he just isn't, okay?
Why not? Flying is the best type.
In my opinion, Steven is a decent champion. His team is not exceptional, but it is quite decent and balanced. It has good diversity and his pokemon have good movepools and abilities.

>give him two pokemon he already has
Chatgpt-sama, I kneel
Why do people post chatgpt responses on this site? Are you too afraid to share your own opinion?
Because this entire site is under constant assault from israelis paying indian call center groups to shill aggressively and any board that's not deemed important enough to warrant direct hands-on interaction is still subjected to chatgpt-powered replybots.
You don't really think everyone on this website is as degenerate and brainrot as the catalog makes it look, do you?
You’ll get doxxed
>Skarmory
Replace Steel Wing with Whirlwind
Give Leftovers
>Claydol
Give it Soft Sand
Replace Reflect with Calm Mind
Replace Extrasensory with Psyshock
>Aggron
Replace Iron Tail with Heavy Slam
Replace Dragon Claw with Shadow Claw
Give it a Life Orb
>Cradily
Replace Suction Cups with Storm Drain
Replace Confuse Ray with Recover
Replace Ancient Power with Rock Slide
Give it a Big Root
>Armaldo
Replace Metal Claw with Swords Dance
Replace Crush Claw with Aqua Jet
Replace Rock Blast with Stone Edge
Give it a Shell Bell
>Metagross
Replace Giga Impact with Thunder Punch
Replace Bullet Punch with Hammer Arm
There. It's more difficult now without going into unfair kaizo territory.
Maybe he should look at a real champion's team, like Cynthia's.
Have Aggron be out by the time Metagross comes in, give it Metal Sound
brr
Make him rematchable in Emerald after beating a frontier brain and give him the following team
Tyranitar
>Hard Stone
>Earthquake/Rock Slide/Dragon Dance/Aerial Ace
Aggron
>Quick Claw
>Iron Tail/Dynamic Punch/Thunder Wave/Counter
Starmie
>Sitrus Berry
>Surf/Thunderbolt/Reflect/Light Screen
Cradily
>Petaya Berry
>Giga Drain/Ancient Power/Amnesia/Barrier
Armaldo
>Liechi Berry
>Earthquake/Ancient Power/Body Slam/Hyper Beam
Metagross
>Salac Berry
>Meteor Mash/Psychic/Earthquake/Explosion
>Starmie
Does absolutely nothing for Steven. Look at Cynthia subbing Pory for Gastro/Rose.
Starmie pretty much fills Claydol's role except it's fast enough to put up both screens and doesn't die to Surf. How is that nothing?
You posted the “fixed” version, unfortunately. The Gen 3 version was much, much worse.
What’s werster gotta say about this. Can he add an extra second to this fight?
nah its perfect
How about SOME FUCKING HELD ITEMS!? Where the hell is Aggron's Air Balloon from B2W2 or the Rock Head + Head Smash combo to fuck my shit backwards!?
Here’s your new Steven team
Seconding T-tar. With weather being such a big deal in RSE it would make sense to have a sand team
his team is based and fits his theme well. i remember i reset my save file because i couldn't beat him with my sceptile and a kid at school told me blaziken or swampert would be better
Give Aggron Sand Stream
uh steven sissies.......why's he wearing shirona's clothes
