In the 3rd generation of Pokemon (Sapphire, Ruby, Emerald, Leaf Green, and Fire Red) it is easily agreed upon Pokemon users that a fire type of Pokemon is the best for advancing through the game easily. However, it is best to have a wide range of Pokemon types in your party because every Pokemon type has type advantages and disadvantages. So if your person your battling has a Pokemon that has a type advantage over you, (example: he has a water Pokemon and you have a fire Pokemon) switch out to a better one. This is very important for the elite four since each person has a different type of Pokemon.
