It's been almost 25 years since its release Pokemon Ruby and SapphireAnd after all this time, Gen 3 remains one of the most beloved and iconic for millions of fans. Whether you grew up with the difficult choice of choosing Treecko, Torchic, or Mudkip as a starter, or you spent weeks watching Mirage Island hoping it would show up for you, Gen 3 games had a lot to offer and were very unique when they came out. Pokemon Ruby and Sapphire Switch and Switch 2 can now be more than a pipe dream Pokemon FireRed and LeafGreen Ports were received, so the chances of these games returning are very good.
At National Decks Beach Fire red and leaf green Being impossible to complete without Gen 3 ports and the fact that Pokemon Ruby and Sapphire was leaked for the Switch, it all seems to be a matter of when. It's unclear if Emerald will also return, but it's a slightly different experience from the base Gen 3 titles in terms of encounters, main battles, and more. Like, if you're looking for the best team to use Pokemon Ruby and SapphireKeep in mind that it will not be the same as Emerald.
This is the ultimate team for Pokemon FireRed and LeafGreen, from Badge to Endgame
If you are wondering what is the best team in Pokemon FireRed and LeafGreen, these 6 Pokemon are the ultimate choice.
But yes, there is an ultimate team that you can use Pokemon Ruby and Sapphire Switch on, and it's all about maximizing your team lineup from the start of the game until the showdown with the Elite Four and Champion. Although this journey can be completed with all starters, it is about team optimization, and the starter of choice is Mudkip.
Swampert: Best Starter in Pokemon Ruby and Sapphire
Swampert is the best starter Pokemon Ruby and Sapphire Purely from an encounter standpoint, because it's never a bad choice against Gym Leaders and the Elite Four. There are few trainers with Grass-type Pokemon, and Swampert takes four times the damage from Grass, it's only weakness. With moves like Surf, Earthquake, Ice Beam, and Brick Break, Swampert can clear an entire game by itself, and you don't even need other Pokemon to do it. Ice Beam covers Swampert's only weakness, as Ice is super effective against grass, and it's also great against trainers like Winona and Drake.

Mudkip evolves into Marshtomp at level 16, and then into Swampert at level 36.
Gardevoir: A special sweeper that takes you from Route 102 to Endgame
PokemonThe Hoenn region offers the opportunity to catch many of its native Pokémon in the first few regions, and so is the case of Ralts, which can be found very early in the game, although it is rarer than other critters with a 4% spawn rate. Ralts can then evolve into Gardevoir over time, and you can teach it incredibly powerful moves like Psychic, Thunderbolt, and Calm Mind. With the latter, it boosts both its Special Attack and Special Defense, quickly becoming a sweeper in high-stakes, long battles. You can also teach it to be a thief for coverage and collect free items during your playthrough.

Grab Ralts on Route 102, evolve it into Kirlia at level 20 and Gardevoir at level 30.
Swallow: A powerful carry with one-shot options
Even before you reach the first gym in the game, you can get an awesome Pokemon Ruby and Sapphire As a tail. This little bird can evolve into the Pokémon Swallow, becoming your main fly user for both convenience and combat purposes, and carrying you through the toughest battles in the game with the incredible combo of Guts plus Facade. Guts is an ability that allows Swellow to deal more damage if affected by status conditions, and Facade is a move that does the same, essentially allowing you to purposely give Swellow status conditions and then spam Facade to win every fight. It's sometimes easier said than done, but it can be your secret weapon with the Elite Four (minus Phoebe).

Grab a Talo on Route 104 or in Petalberg Woods, then evolve it into a Swallow at level 22.
Breloom: One of the best grass-type Pokemon, and it packs a punch
Breloom is arguably one of the best Grass-type Pokemon, as it is very fast, has good offensive stats, can deal serious damage with its Fighting-type moves, and has access to Spore. This is partially true Pokemon Ruby and SapphireHowever, Breloom never learns Spore, but you can teach it at its pre-evolution level 54 if you've ever evolved it before. This is a big problem and something that isn't worth doing in a regular playthrough, but Breloom is very strong. With moves like Leech Seed for durability, Bulk Up for extensive ability, and Mach Punch for priority, it's always a great choice.

Torkoal: An end game powerhouse with amazing stats
Although you get Torcol relatively early, it shines as you train it. Even if you don't spend time EV-training it, it comes with very good stats, with 70 HP, 85 Attack, 140 Defense, 85 Special Attack, 70 Special Defense, and 20 Speed. It's very slow, especially compared to other Pokemon on the team like Breloom and Swellow, but it has a lot of bulk and options to be a hybrid attacker despite its primary use as a Fire-type Pokemon. It can learn great moves like Flamethrower, Heat Wave, and Over Heat for fire coverage, and then Body Slam and Sludge Bomb for the physical side. With 85 in both attack stats, the slow nature would be perfect for this critter to give higher stats in other areas.

After Route 111, catch Torkoal on the flaming path.
Absol: A physical sweeper that solos the Elite Four
The last Pokemon on the team is Absol, and you can get it in the middle part of the game. On reflection this may not seem like the best choice Pokemon FireRed and LeafGreenThe type chart and type separation apply Ruby and Sapphire Also, because Dark is a special type and Absol's special attack is very low. However, it naturally has a very high attack, and it learns Sword Dance. This makes it a great physical sweeper that can destroy the game with moves like Shadow Ball, Return, and Aerial Ace. Its fighting weakness isn't even a big deal if you teach it Ariel Ace, as it will likely counter one-shot fighting-type Pokemon. Shadow Ball also one-shots Phoebe's entire squad after Swords Dance, and Return can one-shot many mons that don't normally resist. Be careful when you try to catch one, as it can wipe out your entire team.
