What Is the Best Team in Pokemon Omega Ruby? (Best In-Game Team in Omega Ruby)

Swampert, Hariyama, Gardevoir, Absol, Crobat, and Manectric form the best Pokemon team for Omega Ruby. I remember being confused about this when I picked up Omega Ruby 😕.

I hadn’t played Pokemon in a while and didn’t know which Pokemon would work for gyms and the Elite Four battles.

Luckily, I stumbled on a Discord thread discussing this very issue. Several teams were listed, so I picked the Pokemon from each team to form my own.

Here’s why I think this team is the best for Omega Ruby.
