Yeah bub i recomend Numel because it learns flamethrower faster than when torkoal does. And it evolves into Camprupt at level 33 i heard. Torkoal doesn't evolve. P.S. If you never heard or seen of Camprupt it is ugly. looks like at big orange bull w/ rings. looks like its so mad it'll take a crap on its self trying to blow up a campground.

she uses a numel lvl 24, slugma lvl 24, camerupt lvl 26, and a torkoal lvl 29
Torkoal is better than slugma because its attack and defense is much higher than slugma.
I would go with torkoal. Camerupt has a little better attack and better speed but torkoal has an Incredible defense. defense might not sound so important, but after having a torkoal, u get to see it's importance. u can beat the elite 4 with only a torkoal at a certain level through pure defense and special attack.
The fourth gym in pokemon emerald is a fire gym in lavadrige city led by Flannery. She has a numel, slugma, camerupt and a torkoal. If you beat her she will give you a TM50 overheat. So I suggest that you brign water pokemon with you as a counter.
sorry, torkoal does not evolve.
