#183 Marill

#276 Taillow

For Emerald Players, this is the first Pokemon from the Previous generations that you will encounter, having the edge over Ruby and Sapphire players, who have to wait till Dewford cave to catch any. Unlike the Jhoto Marill, these Hoenn variety have a Pre-evolved form called Azurill, which requires special breeding to get hold of. This mouse is a Water type, and he has the addition of Hydro Pump at Level 45, lacking from his GSC Predecessors. He has Water Gun at Level 10, so he can help you out in the first gym. He also has the Powerful Rock move, Rollout at Level 15, so training him a little can make him even more useful. He's a bit rare, you might need to wait a bit before you find him. Good use if you want to train him. and for Ruby and Sapphire users, you can catch it in Route 117, which won't be too long from now.

This is the first Normal/Flying Pokemon that you'll find in the game, reminiscent of Pidgey and Spearow from Firered and Leafgreen and the Red and Blue Versions, but this guy takes its roots more from Spearow. It's an aggressive little fighter, with the ability Guts, which increases attack when there is a status problem, adding to its good attack, moves like Wing Attack can do loads of damage. Unlike Marill. this bird is available in all versions, so everyone can get it, despite it also being a bit uncommon.

Items

There Are many items that are hidden in the sand that can be found by pressing in front of the last squares on the beach (squares meaning steps). these can be very useful if you can find them all.
