After repairing my emerald cartridge I want to finally try to beat the frontier. Do I need to EV train my mons or can I just use randoms? As a child I only remember getting the gold factory symbol, the silver symbol from Lucy and losing to Tucker.
Also post your playthrough teams I guess, not gonna post mine because I'm rushing through with swampert

Oh yeah, I should mention that I have no way of trading mons or cheating. And I don't want to use an emulator
>>31891739
EV, IV and nature perfect, moveset bred teams
Welcome to hell
>>31891746
....well fuck IV breeding, I do plan on SRing for an adamant Beldum, any other good mon?
Latios if your willing to reset for a timid one in Emerald.
>>31891763
How does one reset for a roaming legendary? Do I have to select latios after the credits and search for it or just catch it and SR? I'll definetly use the Masterball for it
Lucky you, for i still have my BF team spreadsheet
Wait a sec, i'll type it all to post it faster

>Reset upon it not being timid.
Have fun with that, it will take days.

My internal battery has run dry, I tried changing it but other batteries don't work for some reason. Will that affect the SR? (I don't think it does but just to be sure I want to double check)
>>31891810
It shouldn't.

>Do I need to EV train my mons
No. Just use berries to lower an unused stat.
My Salamence has like 100 EVs on all stats but special attack and works fine.
The game back then wasn't retarded offensive like today where everything is fast and can OHKO your whole team.

>>31892028
>Latios *Sball
Isn't SBall physical in gen 3?
Also I guess I'll use Heracross, Metagross and Latios, don't feel like ev training too much but I'd like to know the heracross set
>>31892058
>Isn't SBall physical in gen 3?
Yes
EV training is mandatory if you pretend to get the gold symbols. For silver I'd say not so much, just use good pokemon. But for gold streaks you're going to need your pokemon to perform their best because every little point makes the difference. Not so sure about IVs, but ideally you don't want shit IVs either.
>>31892058
Yeah, just for coverage and alakazam on round 1
-Heracross
Brick break
Mega horn
Rock slide
Sword dance

>>31891739
I had to train at least 9 mons. Don't remember their natures but they were all level 50 and I pumped them all up with calciums, proteins, and the like. And I don't remember all their movesets
