Wallace

Hoenn Champion · Sootopolis City

Wallace is a celebrated Water-type trainer closely connected with Sootopolis. In Emerald he holds the Champion position that Steven occupies in Ruby and Sapphire.

  • Story: He helps direct the player during the confrontation involving Groudon, Kyogre and Rayquaza, then becomes the final League opponent. Juan handles the Sootopolis Gym in this edition.
  • In the game: Water coverage is important, but his team’s secondary types complicate a one-move plan. Use a mixed approach and prepare for durable opponents rather than relying only on Electric attacks.

Story spoilers.
