It's important to understand that in Pokemon games, you don't actually kill Pokemon. You faint them in battle, and they can be revived with Potions or other healing items. This is a core part of the game's ethical foundation.
If you're looking to make a "thief" character in Pokemon Emerald, you have a few options:
* Focus on stealing items: Some Pokemon have moves like "Thief" or "Covet" which can steal items from opponents. You could build a team around Pokemon with these moves.
* Utilize Pokemon with high Speed: A thief might be quick and agile. Choose Pokemon known for their speed to try and land the first hit and get the advantage.
* Use status conditions: Moves like "Toxic" or "Paralysis" can weaken opponents, giving you a better chance to steal items or win battles.
* Focus on a "Trickster" strategy: Some Pokemon have the "Prankster" ability which lets them use status moves first, even if the opponent is faster. This can be helpful for a thief character.
Important note: While the "thief" role can be fun, it's not a common or expected strategy in Pokemon. The game is generally centered around teamwork and friendship with your Pokemon.
