Pokémon Ruby takes you back to a Hoenn shaped by scorching routes, volcanic peaks, and Team Magma’s relentless pursuit of expansion. To navigate all that heat—literally and narratively—you want a team that covers wide typing gaps, excels in early-game pacing, and grows into its own during the Runic-themed late-game. For this Ruby playthrough, I built a roster that mirrors the game’s fiery tone: aggressive, fast, and reliable against Hoenn’s deceptively tricky gym spread. This lineup is all about momentum—powerful, practical choices that feel tailor-made for Ruby’s version-exclusive challenges.
- Torchic - Combusken - Blaziken
- Seedot - Nuzleaf - Shiftry
- Zangoose
- Poochyena - Mightyena
- Taillow - Swellow
- Abra - Kadabra - Alazakam
- Wailmer - Wailord
- Doduo - Dodrio
- Trapinch - Vibrava - Flygon
- Beldum - Metang - Metagross
Final Thoughts
The beauty of Pokémon Ruby is that a well-built team rewards you in every corner of Hoenn, from scorching Fiery Path to the final standoff against Groudon. This roster lets you lean into strength without sacrificing coverage, keeping each battle brisk and fun. Whether you’re reliving Hoenn nostalgia or running Ruby for the first time, this squad delivers a smooth, satisfying journey that stays true to the game’s fiery spirit.
