Mudkip is one of the Best! hints and tips for Pokemon Ruby

Mudkip is one of the Best!

Forget all the people who say 'Torchic is the best starter'. Sure, Torchic evolves into one of the best, in my terms, but what about the other two?

This is all about Mudkip. People say Mudkip is okay, but trust me, Mudkip is best for those who want a challenge. It turns into a Water/Ground Type, good against Electric types. And I believe it is one of the only Pokemon to learn Muddy Water (the animation is like surf, only, well, muddy). My Swampert, aptly named Sango, from the Inuyasha series, has a Brave Nature with high attack but low speed.

Mudkip gains the ground type when evolving into Marshtomp at lvl 16. I easily defeated the first Gym with only Mudkip, before I evolved it. The second Gym, I weakened Brawly's Pokemon with my Flying types Taillow and Wingull, then sent in Sango for the rest. I took out Wattson with the help of Mudshot, a Ground type move that lowers Speed sometimes. I suggest teaching it Ice Beam, and now Swampert has no enemies from the Grass types. I also handled Norman by training hard with Sango. Flannery was no problem, and so was Winona with Ice Beam at disposal.

So before leaping for the other two, think about the cute little Water type that gains powerful assets!
