Is Tyrogue Good in Ruby & Sapphire Playthrough?
Not native to Hoenn. Breed from Hitmonlee/Hitmonchan/Hitmontop or trade. AbilityGuts boosts Attack when statused. The three evolutions at level 20 gain Gen 3 abilities. But RS has Breloom, Blaziken, and Hariyama for native Fighting coverage. The breeding import is excessive.
