Appendix:Emerald walkthrough/Section 16: Difference between revisions

Wallace's {{p|Wailord}} starts with {{m|Rain Dance}}. It may be a good idea to have an Electric-type in your team that knows the powerful move {{m|Thunder}}, which has 100% accuracy in heavy [[rain]]. This can allow you to take out Wailord, and maybe several of his other Pokémon, easily. Take Wailord out as soon as possible because it knows the powerful move {{m|Water Spout}}, a move which deals more damage the more health Wailord has. As long as the rain is in effect, his Water-type moves will deal twice the normal damage, so take out Wailord as soon as possible. Next, he sends out his {{p|Tentacruel}}. It is a Water/Poison-type so don't use Grass-types against this one. Also watch out for its ability {{a|Liquid Ooze}}: don't use health sapping moves like {{m|Giga Drain}} or {{m|Leech Seed}}. Take Tentacruel out with a powerful Electric-type attack, preferably {{m|Thunder}} while the rain is still in effect. Be careful of {{m|Toxic}}, a move which badly poisons your Pokémon, and {{m|Hydro Pump}}, which will deal massive damage in rain. Next, he has {{p|Whiscash}}, a Water/Ground-type Pokémon. Don't use Electric-type attacks on this one, because it will have no effect! The good news is, however, that it is 4× weak to Grass-type attacks so switch to a Grass-type Pokémon and take it out quickly. It has {{m|Hyper Beam}}, an extremely powerful move, {{m|Amnesia}} which raises its {{stat|Special Defense}} and make it harder to damage, {{m|Surf}} which will likely be powered up by the rain, and {{m|Earthquake}} which will deal harsh damage. Get Whiscash out of the way with a powerful Grass-type attack. (Note: {{p|Tropius}} is an excellent Pokémon to fight Whiscash as it is a Grass-type and also avoids damage by Earthquake.) Next, he sends out his {{p|Ludicolo}}. It has {{m|Leech Seed}} to drain your Pokémon's health each turn (it can get annoying later on), {{m|Giga Drain}} which steals health, the extremely annoying {{m|Double Team}} which raises its evasiveness and {{m|Surf}}. Try taking it out with a Flying-, Bug- or Poison-type attack before it uses Double Team because it will become extremely annoying. A Pokémon with {{m|Aerial Ace}} should do fine against Ludicolo. Next, he sends out {{p|Gyarados}}, a powerful Water/Flying-type. It knows {{m|Earthquake}}, {{m|Hyper Beam}}, {{m|Surf}} and {{m|Dragon Dance}}, a move which boosts its speed and attack. Fortunately, it is 4× weak to Electric-type attacks, so take it out in one shot before it has a chance to make a move. Finally, his last and most powerful Pokémon, {{p|Milotic}}. It is holding a [[Sitrus Berry]] which heals 30HP and may get annoying later on. Do not use Grass-types against it as it knows a powerful Ice-type move, {{m|Ice Beam}}. It knows {{m|Toxic}} to badly poison your Pokémon and {{m|Surf}}. Finally, it knows {{m|Recover}}, a move which restores HP. This will prove annoying, especially since it can use it 20 times. Take Milotic out with a strong Electric-type attack before it can do much.
