The easiest way to rush through the game (without trading from other games, note that this strategy is the best in my opinion, not everyone's) is to choose either Mudkip or Torchic at the beginning. Then catch three Zigzagoons and one Lotad in/around the starting areas, as well as Shroomish in Petalburg Woods. Focus on raising your starting Pokémon as well as Shroomish, and keep all four Zigzagoons in your party.

The reason you should keep the Zigzagoons in your party is because they have one of the best passive abilities in the game - Pickup. I'm sure most people know what it does, which is picks all sorts of items up off the ground every now and then. Pickup x3 is a force to be reckoned with, as items picked up by Zigzagoons are usually Nuggets, Ultra Balls, Super Potions, Full Heals and RARE CANDIES. Rare Candies are what you're aiming for, they speed the game up a hell of a lot. Having 4 Zigzagoons in your party from Petalburg City to Mauville City should yield you roughly 20 Rare Candies (this is an average I've compiled using this method a certain number of times) if you check and take their items regularly, with 3 is almost the same :)

If you picked Torchic as your starting Pokémon, you do the same, get 3 Zigzagoons, 1 Lotad, Shroomish later on carvanha etc...

Of course choosing the Torchic/Shroomish/Carvanha option leaves you one party spot down in the end, and including a HM Pokémon such as Tropius or Wailmer (note that Zigzagoon can be used as a minor HM Pokémon, able to learn Cut, Rock Smash, Surf, etc.), you will only be left with 2 Zigzagoons in your party, meaning less Rare Candy influx, which is a huge disadvantage to your overall party strength.

Tips and guidelines:

-Don't spend too much time being a perfectionist, if a trainer battle is there, take it, if not, move on.

-Don't bother with going out of your way for items, etc.

-Never train on wild Pokémon, it's a pure waste of time using this strategy. The entire point of this strategy is to gain levels while you're travelling.

-When using a Rare Candy(s) on your Pokémon, make sure that they're at the beginning of their current level, otherwise you lose experience.

With Swampert/Breloom, at the Elite Four, they should both be roughly level 61~64.

Suggested movesets:

Swampert: (Mystic Water/Nevermeltice/Focus Band)

Ice Beam

Surf

Earthquake

Take Down

Breloom: (Blackbelt)

Leech Seed

Mach Punch/Sky Uppercut (personal preference)

Mega Drain

Headbutt

With Blaziken/Breloom/Sharpedo, at the Elite Four, they should all be roughly level 55~58.

Suggested movesets:

Blaziken: (Charcoal/Sharp Beak/Silk Scarf)

Flamethrower

Brick Break/Sky Uppercut (only if you can be bothered focusing on raising Blaziken to 59)

Slash

Aerial Ace/Blaze Kick (personal preference)

Breloom: (Miracle Seed/King's Rock/Blackbelt)

Leech Seed

Sky Uppercut/Mach Punch (personal preference)

Mega Drain

Headbutt

Sharpedo: (Dark Sunglasses/Mystic Water/Nevermeltice)

Crunch

Ice Beam

Surf

Slash

If you're not sure on how to get a specific TM or held-item I mentioned, consult http:/bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Main_Page

Of course once you've done this, you can start working towards a real party for whatever you like. The Pokémon you used to beat the Elite Four are relatively weak because Rare Candies were used to promote their growth, and Rare Candies don't yield as high stat growth as training against wild Pokémon/trainers constantly.

You can beat the Elite Four in roughly 8~9 hours of played time if you know

IN EMERALD:

IN EMERALD:

Either you choose Mudkip or Torchic:

instead of capturing the Shroomish now just get 1 pokemon that can learn fly, later on whenever you can get 1 chinchou ( underwater routes 124/126 with preference in modest nature, since your attacks will be special and not physical, teach him thunder/rain dance / surf & other from hydro pump/ secret power/ toxic )

Teach to your blaziken moves like:

Flamethrower/ Blaze kick

SKy uppercut

Slash

Aerial Ace/ thunderpunch

( Nature: Adamant/Brave/Quirky)

Teach to your Swampert

Brick Break

Earthquake

Surf

Ice beam ( to cover it's only weakness ( grass) ]

( Nature: Impish/Quirky/Lonely)

I prefer the blaziken Lanturn & Flygon/metagross combo

It's great for the whole game ( except metagross that you can only have him after the elite4)

But since that in emerald we have the battle frontier

Blaziken with:

Flamethrower

Sky uppercut

Slash/ sunny day

Aerial Ace/ solar Beam / Earthquake

with a Lanturn with:

Thunder

Rain dance

Surf

Toxic

and a FLygon with:

Fly

Earthquake/flamethrower

Crunch

Dragon Claw/Iron Tail/ stell Wing

It's just an amazing combo to everysingle battle, and rarely my Blaziken faints, and when he does, there is that superb Lanturn, so FLygon is almost sleeping!
