Blastoise remains a fan-favorite Pokemon after all these years and can help dominate in FireRed and LeafGreen.
The Generation I remakes are incredible games that added to the beauty and wonder of the Pokemon universe. They take players back to the Kanto journey with the same amazing aspects and some new features.
Those who select Squirtle as their starter will be able to evolve it into the bulky and dangerous Blastoise. Building a team to take on the story around Blastoise will ensure a Pokemon League victory.
The best six-Pokemon team for FireRed and LeafGreen with Blastoise
Blastoise
Blastoise is the centerpiece of the team and can learn some incredible coverage attacks and defense-raising moves. It has pretty even Defense and Special Defense stats and fairly even Attack and Special Attack stats. Blastoise should definitely be used to stall or finish a battle.
Magneton
Magneton is a wonderful Special Attacker. In FireRed and LeafGreen, Magneton has a whopping 12 resistances, and its Steel-type and Electric-type moves are mighty.
It puts them to good use and can even do solid damage to Pokemon that may resist its attacks, which proves how good it is in FR and LG.
Nidoking
Nidoking is a strong Poison/Ground-type Pokemon, and all of its stats are fairly balanced. The true power comes from its amazing movepool, because it can cover all types.
Nidoking can learn a move from nearly every type and do supereffective damage to anything. It is truly incredible to dominate a team with this Pokemon.
Arcanine
If there is a way to trade in LeafGreen to get Arcanine, do it. Growlithe and Arcanine can only be found in FireRed. Arcanine is a must-have if the Fire-type starter, Charmander, is not chosen because it will help against Venusaur and take on other Grass and Ice-type Pokemon throughout the playthrough.
Exeggutor
Exeggutor will take on the Grass-type role for the team. It has solid HP and, like Magneton, very high Special Attack. The Grass-typing can help defeat a variety of Pokemon across Kanto, while its dual Psychic-typing is the real treasure and comes in extremely handy.
Pidgeot
Pidgeot is one of, if not the best Flying-type Pokemon in Kanto. Its stats are fairly balanced, and with the right training, it can outspeed many opponents. Nothing makes up for a quick Flying-type that can decimate Fighting and Grass-type Pokemon.

Thank You!
Just got the leaf green/fire red ROMs on my phone, forgot how good these games are... Just started leaf green and so far my team is Wartortle and Nidorina...
Just wondering what people think the best team is stat wise building up to the elite four? I generally don't play with the legendary ones, and there are obviously a few very high stat ones like Dragonite but I just can't be bothered to grind with Dratini late into the game... So what Pokémon can be picked up relatively early in the game and become strong later?
Also, I'm assuming not... But is there any way to get Pokémon that would usually only be available through trade when playing on ROMs? For example, Gengar, Alakazam, Machamp and Golem?
Thanks! Look forward to hearing about some teams!
My team was Blastoise (bite, body slam,
Surf, and water gun)
Nidoking (Rock Slide, Thrash, Earthquake, and Strenght)
Electrode (Lightscreen,
, Thunderbolt, Swift)
Dragonite (Hyperbeam, Fireblast, Thunderwave, Ice
Beam)
Snorlax (Psychic, Metronome, Body Slam, Amnesia)
Farfetch'd (Slash, Toxic,
, Sword Dance)
I tried not to make my team to OP. I didn't have to choose farfetch'd or electrode. (Only got legendary birds after beating
Elite Four) Also I didn't want to make my moves too OP. I could've had Rest on snorlax or maybe have my dragonite slam instead of thunderwave) Another thing was since I wanted a challenge. I beat the elite four and Gary in one go with Pokémon levels of low to mid forties
