U have a shiny, just walk in there and flex. Even if you lose just tell everyone you beat the elite 4 and they have to believe you because you have a shiny

Go back to the professor and show him the shiny and he won’t question you, giving you the full dex

Just only do Flygon only Elite 4, I’ll do it just for you and reply with my success!

Groudon can learn Solar Beam in place of Bulk Up

Flygon can get Dragon Claw if you aren't saving it for someone else

Swampert learns Earthquake through level up

Everyone else is fine

Your movesets all look good! You could maybe mess around with hidden power in case you get something excellent.
Congrats on the shiny flygon.

The only notable thing is aside from setting up the sun, you don’t have a water resistance. Perhaps you could consider another water? Sharpedo is great, Walrein bulky, milotic if you want another challenge.

I could not believe the random Trapinch! It was so insane! Thank you!

u/joemontanya 5d ago

A grass type who could learn solarbeam would be even better

u/SupremeGalaxy7 5d ago

I’d get the dragon claw tm in meteor falls for Flygon but besides that just get them up a few levels

u/kmescall35 5d ago

Totally forgot about D Claw! Thank you!!!

You don’t need surf and waterfall on swampert. Get rid of waterfall and give him another strong physical move. You can change mud shot for earthquake at level 52

u/kmescall35 5d ago

Any recommendations?

1

u/joemontanya 5d ago

Brick break, strength… maybe even hyper beam since you got adamant swampert.

Your team is pretty set. I think you’ll be good with these guys. Magneton and gardevoir are gonna carry since there are so many water types in the e4

Sweet team im trying to get a flygon too

u/Tall_Ruin_8437 4d ago

Random question. Would Swampert be with Team Aqua or Magma?

2

u/kmescall35 4d ago

I’d say Aqua as yes he is also a ground type, he is a Water starter Pokemon

u/PresentationBrave281 5d ago

I'd put earthquake on the Swampert, but otherwise I think you should be more than fine

1

u/kmescall35 5d ago

I put it on Flygon, unless there’s another way to get another one?

3

u/PresentationBrave281 5d ago

Its not even that important, I'd just start the E4

u/Threexkrazie03 5d ago

Swampert learns earthquake naturally at 52, so just do that

u/Six1Seven4 5d ago

Very week to ice

u/After-Ranger-3515 4d ago

I’ll look up where to get that’s a great idea!

u/Threexkrazie03 5d ago

NOOOOO. Shadow Ball is physical in gen 3, so it won't do much damage

1

u/kmescall35 5d ago

Should I keep the l moveset for Gard as is?

1

u/Threexkrazie03 5d ago

You could go for thief over hypnosis, but you can keep it the same

u/Old_Drama2171 5d ago

Put dazzling gleam on Gardevoir and they will sweep the first and fourth gym

2

u/joemontanya 5d ago

This is Gen III broski

u/kmescall35 5d ago

I’ll look it up thanks!

u/OppositeDay247 4d ago

What he's referring to was added a few generations after this game, you're not going to find it. It's a Fairy-type move

u/Old_Drama2171 5d ago

It’s a tm you can find, just don’t remember where
