Since the CPMC one got archived, why not start one here.
Anyways, to start it off, I'm building a battle tower/Stadium 2 team in Crystal.
Thought about this:
Typhlosion: Leftovers/something else?
Flamethrower
Thunderpunch
Quick Attack
Something else....but what? Protect? Preferably something I don't have to breed for. Also no duplicate TMs, so no EQ.
Tauros: Not sure about the item.
Return
Earthquake
Rest
Sleep Talk
Probably not changing this one.
Finally, thought about Golduck but decided for Lapras as Golduck can't learn Psychic in G/S/C.
Lapras: Not sure about the item, probably the wake-up berry if I go for sleep or lefties if not.
Surf
Ice Beam
Psychic
Either Rest or Thunderbolt. Not sure here, as Typhlosion can't really be used against Water types.
I've used Marriland's stat calculator to figure out the rough stat range and restarted until I've got decent IVs in the stats I'll want on these pokes. I'll boost the key stats with calcium/etc. after I can access E4 and defeat them easily.
I could probably use just these 3 for Stadium 2 Gym Leader Castle as I'll have a decent type coverage I guess.
Any other advice? Also inb4 Snorlax/Suicune. No need to go OU against the AI :V
-
Movesets and stuff
Smogon
-
Oh yeah I need to make a Mono Type team that I picked from at random.
I can't say which type due to one of the people who I'm going to play against is doing the same and no one in that group knows who has what type. But one person lurks here.
I'm surprised that got Ls'ed.
-
Smogon
I've looked, but they have more competitive than casual movesets and more than 1 resttalker/2 EQ tms are kind of.....impossible to get :V
I know, the forums....I'm going to be honest and I'll just admit that I'm too lazy to register.
-
Can't you just trade back to R/B/Y to get the moves for ones that are possible?
I'm considering starting the Ultimate Monotype challenge. Not sure which type or types. It's possible I could just start 2 just because I want to do more than just one.

Gold/Silver are out of batteries and Yellow is pretty much screwed up since it keeps crashing.
Also Crystal was the only game I've got at launch, so it might die soon as well.
-
Isn't there a duplication bug in Crystal? :V
-
Isn't there a duplication bug in Crystal? :V
I don't feel like taking any risks....I've had my Silver wiped before as a kid and I've cried. Lv100 Typhlosion, gone ;_;
Maybe I should go test Typhlosion's HP....I might have Grass or Water. Or something which deals with these ground/rock types as Typhlosion isn't exactly physically based.
EDIT: It's Thunder. Meh.
-
I keep haveing dreams about buying Soul Silver, is that weird?

No.
Anyways I got myself a used copy of Pokemon Emerald today.
It has quite a few of the end game Pokemon still on it for me to transfer to my Pearl Version.
I need to go and catch the Regi's in it though...
Also Walimer Scares me it looks creepy.
-
Wish I could find a GBA pokemon game around here. They are so rare around here...still, that GBA was worth it, even if only for the backlight :V
Actually....I only want Persona 4 for xmas....guess I could get an overpriced copy of R/S with it :V
-
Yeah the prices on the GBA games are ridiculous I was amazed I found a Fire Red for 15 bucks.
-
A not-so-far Gamestop in my area has two used copies of each versions of the GBA games for $15. All of them, including Mystery Dungeon Red and Pinball: R&S.
I only own Emerald. Dohoho. :V
-
Smogon
Smogon G/S/C is pretty damn inactive, over 12 hours and no reply :V
-
I bet I'm the only person on this forum that does not own any copy of any pokemon game. I bet I'm also the only person on this forum that does not wish to own any copy of the game because I do not want to play them.
-
I'm pretty sure saying "I don't want to play Pokemon" and "I have never played one" at the same kind of tells people that you really have no reason, and you are a gigantic idiot. Please elaborate.
-
I hate the Safari Zone... It's so annoying it takes me quite awhile to find A Miltank and it Flees first thing...
And then theres Latias which I'm not even sure how I managed to encounter twice since I got Emerald yesterday. Only reason I didn't catch it is because the Master Ball seems to have been wasted on Rayquaza. Also Regirock can magically break out of every single Ultra Ball I throw at him while he's at 1 HP and Asleep. He also manages to expend EVERY SINGLE USE OF HIS ATTACKS AND THEN HE KILLS HIMSELF WITH STRUGGLE!...
-
Use Ultra Balls only up to thirty turns, then switch to Timer Balls.
-
Timer Balls
...I am an idiot for forgetting about those...
-
I've wasted 70 balls trying to catch Suicune.
There are easier to get water HM slaves :V
-
Suicune
water HM slave
What.
-
I'm pretty sure saying "I don't want to play Pokemon" and "I have never played one" at the same kind of tells people that you really have no reason, and you are a gigantic idiot. Please elaborate.
By I never owned one, I mean I never bought one. My brother has bought them (almost every single one) and I have played them. I didn't find them any fun, so I don't bother with them anymore. Sorry I didn't elaborate.
-
What.
you best be talkin' about surf
-
What.
What is a Suicune?
A miserable little pile of OU!

FUCK YEAH
Also, does EV calculation work differently for G/S/C? I only know that you can max everything, so I've drugged my pokes with crap to the max to see how good they are according to a D/P stat calc....and some of them apparently have negative IVs.
I assume that pokes have different stat potential in 2nd gen compared to 3rd/4th?
-
Drugs are "capped" to 100 EVs out of the possible
252 255.
-
Drugs are "capped" to 100 EVs out of the possible 252 255.
I've read that G/S/C works differently, same RBY - you can max everything, and it isn't 255 but 65,536 - and it gets added after every pokemon defeated based on it's basic values.
Vitamins stop working at 25600 EV.
Now I need to figure out a place with lots of Abras or something.
Tauros could abuse route 34 with Super Rod, as 70% of the time it's a Krabby or a Kingler.
Then again, do I really need to go on a Krabby slaughterfest when it's Stadium 2 and not the World Championship?
Makes me wonder how much do the R/S/E and D/P/P players have it easier.
Drug it with stuff, equip Macho Brace, brofist somebody for Pokerus and you are done in an hour or so.
But no, I have to slaughter FOUR HUNDRED KRABBIES.
GODDAMNIT
-
G/S/C and R/B/Y do work differently. I probably should've mentioned that I've only played 3rd gen+. I do recall stat calculation being different or something though; don't
:V

-
Okay I almost caught everything in Emeralds Safari Zone. I just need Phanpy and Herracross.
If I manage to get that done tonight should I get the Evo's listed in the Dex Or go after more Legendary's?
-
Is Heracross just as annoying to get as in G/S/C?
And screw killing Krabbies. I'll just dump the vitamins on them and I'm done.
Seriously, is D/P team building just getting the right IVs, moves and nature(which is the long part I believe), then spend a few hours EV training and you are done?
-
Is Heracross just as annoying to get as in G/S/C?
Lets see in Emerald (Unsure about R/S) he's insanely rare and in the safari zone where Pokemon run like theres no tomorrow.
So in my opinion yes.
It's pretty much the same in D/P he's really rare.
Anyways gonna start looking for Phanpy and the ridiculously Rare Heracross now.
EDIT: Just Heracross I got Phanpy.
-
It can take days. :V (http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/genmessage.php?board=198308&topic=45408427)
-
AFAGHESEWTGAEFERW! HERACROSS!
IT RAN AWAY WHEN I USED THE ROCK/MOVE CLOSER COMMAND!
Also yeah that topic looks insane.
-

Pretty much, yeah. Though, IV and nature breeding did take days... until recently >_>
-
Well, I see only 1 weakness in my team - Machamp.
Lapras has Psychic, but I doubt that it will be a 1HKO and Cross Chop probably will.
According to a damage calculator, it should do around 75-80% assuming both have max EVs and IVs....but I'm not counting on that as it's R2 and stuff.
Psychic is supposed to be a 1HKO...but I seriously doubt that.
Starmie will also probably screw me up badly as my Lapras doesn't have anything Thunder, but there are only one of each in GLC Round 2.
-
Man I've always thought about grabbing Shoddy Battle and getting into serious Pokemon just for the fun of twinking away but when I look at high-level discussion and it gets so metagamey that it's like "YOU GOTTA HAVE 83.5 DEFENSE EVS ON YOUR SKARMORY TO WITHSTAND CHOICE BAND SALAMENCE" or whateverthefuck, I feel like if I get into it too much the game will consume my life
I just want to build teams with ridiculous looking Pokemon like Lickilicky :V
-
Machamp
Cross Chop
Machamp uses Dynamicpunch, not Cross Chop. Visit Smogon University for more details and information~ EVEN IF YOU DON'T WANT TO.

bruno doesn't visit smogon

Of course not. No in-game trainer has a smogon moveset / ev spread. :P
-
Of course not. No in-game trainer has a smogon moveset / ev spread. :P
I'm kind of worried about stadium R2 though....no idea how big are the EVs since G/S/C has no spread and everything can be maxed.
Now I have to wait 2 days until my Typhlosion can get Flamethrower.
-
Yeah... G/S/C's ev stuff always confused me. I prefer the more simple RSEDPPHGSS style...

Real men catch their legendaries in regular Poke balls or equivalent and can win with just their favourites while completely disregarding tiers.
Does anyone else have a living Pokedex?

real men spend 70 great balls catching suicune to use him as a water HM slave
I'll probably spam more E4 in the meantime so I can get more vitamins.
EDIT: Tried Battle Tower lv60 with my 54/55 team.
I'm not sure how will it change once I reach 60, but some pokes are simply way too damn hard to take down, like Umbreon.
Thank god for Lapras, her beastly HP and Ice Beam freezing.
I've managed to win once, when the enemy didn't pull a Heracross or Umbreon.
Seeing Skarmory trying to Fly you to death is kind of hilarious.
-
Alright I got my Heracross and now its time to go after the Regi's again.
Hopefully Regirock won't kill itself this time.
-

Oh man, I used to have one of those Pokedex toys as a kid! it was so rad, but I got kinda pissed whe gen 2 came out a week after I got it :C
-
Okay Sing isn't cutting it for Sleep on Regirock
I need the accuracy boosting thing as well.
AND REGIROCK NEEDS TO QUIT BEING AN INSANE INSOMNIAC!
Seriously I put him to sleep and he wakes up the very next turn. Like conistently.
...I hate Regirock he just suicided again...
Anyways attempt number 8 here I come...
-

I don't think you know what a living Pokedex is, but I do have that Tiger Pokedex lying around somewhere.
http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Living_pokedex (http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Living_pokedex)
It was a bitch to do, especially when finding people to trade off event legendaries. I also have all the Unown and some extra pokemon in there, which leaves me with about 12 storage spaces in my Pearl card.
I only really use Pearl for breeding whatever I want nowadays; which was really useful when I started Platinum and I already have a team prepared for SS, all it needs is a Cyndaquil.
-
ME CATCHING REGIROCK MEANS NOTHING NOW! I ACTUALLY CAUGHT LATIAS! HOORAY! I FINNALY CAUGHT A ROAMING LEGENDARY POKEMON WITHOUT A MASTERBALL!
-
Breloom is the best pokemon.
That is all. :V

Anyone playing Explorers of Sky/Darkness/Time?
I don't have Sky yet, but I just started a new file on Time~
I'm Loren the Skitty, and my partner is Pikachu~
Together, we're Team Radia, shining a light that that can be seen in any era, even through the greatest darkness~!
I haven't actually beaten this game before, though... Hehehe.

roffles.
-
Well i'm looking for Grimer and Koffing now in Emerald. I need 87 more Pokemon recorded in the Dex for one of the G/S/C starters.
-
Flamethrower for Typhlosion tomorrow, then I can test them in Stadium 2 :V
Battle Tower hates me.
It throws bulky pokes in my way like nothing else.
Blastoise, Kingdra, Machamp, Snorlax, Kingdra, Umbreon.
-
Actually i'm just going to go ahead an X-fer everything on my GBA games to Pearl. I can't get 200 Pokemon in Emerals without trading.
Just need to get a Scyther in Fire Red First though
-
I've EV trained a bunch of Pokemon but I've only done 1 online battle
-
Okay well the other people I am going to fight with Mono-Type teams have Dragon and Normal. I have Dark.

Has anyone else here done the shiny egg exploit in D/P/Pt?

Have fun with Garchomp :V
-
Garchomp is uberz
-
Yeah Garchomp is the problematic one that I am 99.9% sure will be used. I'll just have to hit it as hard and fast as possible with Weaviles Ice attacks and hope for the best.

He didn't know what EV's where last time I asked him about it so i'm pretty safe from that threat I think.

GARCHOMP IS UBERZ ESP WITH YACHE BERRY NO GARCHOMPS ALLOWED!!!

HAY GAIS I CEN TALK LIEK DIS TU!!!

lol, competitive Pokemon.
Get 83 defence EVs with Adamant nature to survive +2 Bullet Punch.

Okay I was reading up on some very weak Pokemon on Smogon.
Unown was surprisingly interesting to read about. (http://www.smogon.com/dp/pokemon/unown)

I've had a shiny Unown on silver. It had maybe 4 pixels differently coloured :V
-
From Spinda's page
Spinda Wishes that it had better stats. And a better sprite. You've gotta admit, it looks ugly. Incredibly ugly. It couldn't possibly be more ugly; if it walked into a fire, it'd look like it just came out of Extreme Makeover.
Take advantage of Spinda's horrendous face, using it to Trick your opponent (Spinda's face is like a train-wreck; it's horrible, yet you simply can't look away) while you swap their items
and from Luvdisc
Luvdisc is great if you're playing with Battle Timeout, because its mere presence should cause your opponent to laugh at it for so long that you win the match.
-
Uberdisc is no weak.
By the way, when does happiness max out?(for Return)
A lv56 Tauros should have enough for max power Return or not?
-
I love how they took Kakuna seriously. (http://www.smogon.com/dp/pokemon/kakuna)
Happiness depends. In D/P/Pt, use the happiness checker app (6) to see if your Tauros has 2 big hearts. If it doesn't, just go into battle with a relatively weak Pokemon that knows only attacking moves and spam potions on it or just bike around like crazy. Don't forget the Soothe Bell.
-
Must... make Choice Specs Unown Team on Shoddy...

G/S/C. The Goldenrod girl says that he is very happy or something, so I guess it is maxed.
-
I'm about to go for Palkia in Pearl Version...
I'm also going to have to beat the rest of the game tonight and finally x-fer everything from my Emerald and Fire Red version tonight as well.
-

As a matter of fact, Bug Bite's addition lowers Max HP/Max Def Steelix from a 94 HKO to a 36 HKO.
I don't think Bug Bite even has that many PP. :V
-
I didn't even know that move existed.
-
Sweet, my 3 man team went through R2 Team Rocket and Mahogany Gym without problems.(where I was stuck for over a year)
Fun stuff:
Final Rocket Executive tried to Swagger my Tauros.
I knew that Bitter Berry was useful. Insta-sweeping with Return :V
Pryce's Articuno critical'd my Typhlosion with Bubblebeam. Survived it easily.
I doubt that Clair will be easy, but once I beat the E4, I'm pretty much there since I can restart the Kanto leaders without having to fight the trainers before them.
-
Alright I caught Palkia with just a single Ultra Ball. Although he did manage to take out 2/3rds of my team before I threw it.
-
Yay!
...maybe I should play Platinum more.
-
I beat the Elite 4 and transfered the acursed Regirock and its friends.
Currently trying to catch Regigigas.

11th Movie Lv100 Regigigas --> Unlock Regirock, Regice, and Registeel --> Catch all three --> Unlock Lv1 Regigigas
Funny how that works.

Yeah i'm tottaly trading my level 70 Regigigas i just caught for my friends level 1 Regigigas...
I let him kill Regirock just because I don't like Regirock.
EDIT just got Rotom as well. Unfortunately he's pretty much useless without Platinum's form changing.
EDIT 2: Which one should I use the Master Ball on Cressilia or Mespirit?
-
Rotom's actually a fairly useful UU pokemon even without the key. :D
The master ball should be used on the one you have the most trouble catching, of course. :P
-
When I was a kid I wasted master balls on a raticate and an electrode. I never use 'em either
-
Started a low-level game (on Emerald, which I had never played before, totally awesome idea), and it made me appreciate some attacks I never cared about before. Thunder Wave, Leech Seed, Yawn, Confuse Ray and Protect are now some of the best attacks EVAR. This is partly because the AI sucks and let me beat the 7th Gym (Psychic) with a Crobat.
Here's my team. This is probably the best team I ever made, which should explain why I always sucked at Pok?mon ;D
Pelipper
Breloom
Crobat
Vigoroth
Minun
Shuppet
Substitute : Spinda
-
Wow. No offense, though, but that's a kinda bad team. :P
But yeah, those attacks really are great. If you play on shoddy, a lot of times you'll have to use strategies like that to win.
-
IIRC, the top used moves on Shoddy included Stealth rock, earthquake and thunderbolt.

Somehow this does not surprise me.
In other news, is it bad that the main reason I'm happy about the upcoming Gold/Silver remakes is because this time I may have a shot at knocking Red out for the count*?
(*more Pokemon out + Abilities may give me a fighting chance against that monster; plus, my Silver version's battery died, so no chance of fighting him again that way. ;_;)

Rotom with the Secret Key is instantly boosted to OU status actually

The AI in Emerald is actually the best AI of all the series.
Using buffs/status attacks are greatly appreciated in a low level setting, like SleepLeeching or ParaFlinching. The AI in any Pokemon game is smashed to bits if you have overlevels or having something like a Crobat by the 7th gym >_>;

I still don't get how Red is hard. You fight him at the very end of the game, and after going through hell that is the Kanto region and fighting a second set of eight gym leaders, your team should be at a sufficient range of level to at least be on par with him. If that's not enough, you're already at Mt. Silver anyway. A few power leveling sessions there would be enough to help your team's level. Heck, if you can get the other version's mascot beforehand, that's already a Lv70 help that wouldn't be too hard to raise into the 80+ range. His team's level ranges from Lv73-81, which isn't that high, really. HG/SS actually boosted that up to Lv80-88, but that doesn't really matter anyway since ~10 levels difference isn't really that hard to overcome.

Well, not everyone powerlevels their pokemon while still in the main story, and so only has a few lv.80ish pokemon by then, if even.
IIRC, the top used moves on Shoddy included Stealth rock, earthquake and thunderbolt.
No duh. However, there are entire movesets that have keys with leech seed, paralysis support is one of the most common in the game, and confuse ray and protect are staples on many pokemon's movelists.

I decided to hatch 30 level 1 Rotoms for no real reason...
I have 26 now and I just need 3 more eggs.

Am I the only one who fights Red at lv50?(and that's when I use 3 pokes.....was like 45 when I've had 6)

We'll see when HGSS comes out.

HGSS is already out.
...
...
...
...oh, you mean not playing the Japanese version on an emulator. Got it.
-
Whee 30 Rotoms...
doesn't HGSS let me change forms on them without the key?
Also gonna make a ton of Eevee's now.
-
Because you need the key to change forms, silly.
-
Clair went down easily.
E4....no problems on Will and Koga, but Bruno.... :V
His Machamp isn't exactly friendly to my team(takes 3 Psychics to go down, can SE everyone), so it was just Tauros and Typhlosion vs Golem....Golem Fissured Tauros on second attempt, 54 HP left on Golem.
Flamethrower, miss. Goddamn Brightpowder.
Rock Slide, 80% dmg.
Flamethrower, 4 HP left.
Rock Slide, game over.
-

Lolwut? I don't see how a Crobat is hard to get. You only need to be level 22. Happinness is ridiculously easy to max if you're always using the same Pokemon.
Please tell me how I was supposed to make it "easy". I had to reset the game over 30 times, because I had nobody able to resist a Psychic attack. If you know something that could make the Elite Four not be total hell (like a useful Pokemon), please say it.
-
Giratina.

If you know something that could make the Elite Four not be total hell (like a useful Pokemon), please say it.
If this is in fact D/P/Pt we're talking, My money's on Staraptor.
1) Flying, so it wrecks Aaron.
2) Flying (again), so it wrecks Bertha's Ground-types (and that goddam QUAGSIRE if you're playing D/P oh god I hated that thing), and if you're playing Platinum and she pulls out those surprise Rock-Types, it gets Close Combat upon evolution @ Lv34 so you can mess them up like that.
3) Cynthia and her Lucario and Roserade (looking at my Platinum Pokedex brick here), both of which have problems dealing with a Flying-type that can use a high-power Fighting-type move. (In Lucario's case, it's the Fighting move that does it offensively-speaking.)
As icing on the cake we have Staraptor's lovely ATK stat and Intimidate, which takes some of the edge off of the physical hitters in the Elite Four, not to mention the fact that you can easily capture a Starly in the early areas and level it up as you go along, or power-level it with an EXP Share at someplace like Victory Road or something.
-
Well, not everyone powerlevels their pokemon while still in the main story, and so only has a few lv.80ish pokemon by then, if even.
Even then you can spend some time at Mt. Silver to power level if you really want to beat him anyway. :V
Also, apparently Heart Gold gets Latios; Nintendo you ass.

Which one does Heart Gold get Groudon or Kyogre? It likely won't change my decision any but from the looks of it I'm likely gonna buy Heart gold just for Nostalgia value.
Also I played my 8-year old Cousin in Pokemon today. I took out his level 70-ish Torttera with a level 38 Snover... He was amazed...

Heart Gold wins because Ho-Oh's Theme is clearly superior to Lugia's.
-
Out of curiosity, a question for you all: what is the one Pokemon that you hate fighting the most when a RL person is using it?
-
If this is in fact D/P/Pt we're talking, My money's on Staraptor.
I was talking about Emerald x_x And the max level I can be is 34 so I wouldn't be able to use a Staraptor anyway.

Lv34 VS Elite Four? 0_0
Talk about Hard Mode.
Well, I guess it's time to look back into the past . . . *pages forward to the National Dex and starts scouring* Do you have access to any 3rd Gen games besides Emerald?

Why? I don't trade. Or breed. Or gain exp from wild Pokemon. Trainers give so much anyway that I need to split exp between about 15 Pokemon to avoid going over the limit. I'm also playing on an emulator. I own the game, but I can't record anything on that.
First things first then, anything I can use for the 8th Gym? Level limit : 30
I'm thinking about training Manectric (vs Team Magma and Aqua) to get a decent offensive Pokemon.

I actually find I like using random battles on Shobby Battle.

Captain Stand-In? I'm looking at my book and thinking Tropius might be a decent choice, provided you keep it away from Sealeo and just use something else to wreck that Ice-slinging walrus.
1) Grass and gets Razor Leaf, so that's effective against everyone save the Sealeo and Kingdra (which it is normally-effective against thank goodness),
2) Flying, so Earthquake doesn't nail it (and it's 4x strong against the Whiscash to begin with).
3) Whirlwind, so you could actually feasibly force away the Sealeo whenever it comes.
4) It may not be spectacular, but it's not pathetic either. (EDIT: Just looked on Bulbapedia, and it looks like its stats make it more of a tank than anything, so that's something. : / )
5) Easily findable and obtainable.
Also, as you thought Manectric is also a good choice (though once again there is a Pokemon you keep it away from or else get wrecked: that Whiscash and its Earthquake).

Uh... I've played it
I don't include romhacks because many people aim to make romhacks PRECISELY because the games aren't hard enough for many players
I've never thought anyone would actually play that. Cheers to you.
Lv34 VS Elite Four? 0_0
Talk about Hard Mode.
Watch Kaizo Pokemon if you haven't. (http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm4388040)
It looks like you haven't; if you did, then my bad.
-
Well, it's kinda hard to watch that when it's on niconico, and not everyone has a nico nico account.
-
Lolwut? I don't see how a Crobat is hard to get. You only need to be level 22. Happinness is ridiculously easy to max if you're always using the same Pokemon.
Please tell me how I was supposed to make it "easy". I had to reset the game over 30 times, because I had nobody able to resist a Psychic attack. If you know something that could make the Elite Four not be total hell (like a useful Pokemon), please say it.
Oh, right.
You're doing a low level game or some shit? I had level 60 Pokemon by then so *shrug*
I'm a powerleveller by nature, so our stances are wildly different. I have a greater challenge facing real people than I ever will playing against a game. There's less emphasis in game on utility moves like Stealth Rock, which are godlike in a competitive setting.
Also, battle items that increase Sp.Def. :3
EDIT: Oh, use Sableye. He has got no weakness.

Everyone will find real people harder than not in games like this.
Sableye has no weaknesses... and no strengths. Low attack and special attack, slow, not that great of HP - basically, it needs an evolution to become useful.

We forgive you.
After all, Lance always cheats. :V
(Funfact: You are not supposed to have a Dragonite at the level he has it in 1st Gen. I think he also pulls some tricky shenanigans in 2nd Gen., but I forget what it is. >_>)

The lv47 Dragonites were actually 2nd gen and he has a Rock Slide Aerodactyl in 2nd gen too.
And my Typhlosion almost took out Dragonite by himself. Too bad that Protect vs Hyper Beam doesn't force a recharge.
-
Dragonair evolves at level 55, so his first one was high enough in level, IIRC. His Dragonite knows Barrier though, which it can't get.
It's gen 2 where they're under the correct level. And I think his Aerodactyl had a move it couldn't get.

Anyways no I need to get a Macho Brace wherever that thing is.

Sableye has no weaknesses... and no strengths. Low attack and special attack, slow, not that great of HP - basically, it needs an evolution to become useful.
Even then, Nintendo can deliberately screw it up by changing the type combination. Yeah.

I think you can find one in FireRed/LeafGreen by using the Itemfinder where Giovanni was in the Pewter City Gym.
I think.
EDIT: OK, just found out how you get it in D/P/Pt and R/S/E. D/P you get it from a boy in Pastoria by showing him all 3 forms of Burmy, Pt from the same boy but show him both genders of Combee, and in R/S/E beat the Winstrate family to get one.
-
I guess i'll get the one from emerald then and transer it over tomorrow.
Also Scyther is even more annoying to get with a good nature due to also needing tecnician.
-
Champion battle :V (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VbpGosx-j_Y)
Who says that you need a full team?
Tell me the last time you've seen a Typhlosion mess up a Dragonite that badly.
Guess that Nintendo making him Hyper Beam themed actually made him weaker since it's a junk move(unless you have a Slaking).
Feels damn good after owning the game for over 7 years and raging many, many times over R2.
-
Also Scyther is even more annoying to get with a good nature due to also needing tecnician.
Try an Adamant Ditto with an Everstone (if you haven't already). Transfers the Adamant nature to the child with decent success rate.
Unfortunately, that just leaves Technician and I sympathize with you over that sort of agony my god that is horrible. (Had to breed a Shinx with good nature and Intimidate for my electric team, same brand of horrible.)
-
Bleh I guess a massive ammount of Ditto with varying natures would be a bigger help in the long run. Seeing as I have an everstone on my Emerald game.
Oh a brave Scyther thats Close enough for me.
-

I'm a powerleveller by nature, so our stances are wildly different. I have a greater challenge facing real people than I ever will playing against a game.
Yes, low-level challenge. I did this because I couldn't find the Kaizo Pokemon patch anywhere and decided to try replicating it in the original game.
What I like about it is that I don't need to train at all. No need to breed, or care about EVs, IVs, or natures. And yes, the AI is stupid. I would never have cleared the 7th Gym if the AI didn't see my Crobat and thought "Super-effective OMG! KILL! KILL! KILL!", even though anybody hit by Psychic is OHKOed, which allowed me to use Protect and put them to sleep with Vigoroth.
Like this (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h0QA9I74C_A)
The battles can get pretty long though, long enough for the time limit to really piss me off.
EDIT: Oh, use Sableye. He has got no weakness.
Thought about it, but he has crappy stats with a crappy moveset. He can make Brawly incredibly easy, so of course I didn't use him there. I made Watson's Voltorb use Self-Destruct against him though. It was awesome.
-
Awesome I got an Impish/Sturdy Skarmory on my second try. I am quite happy.
-
What the hell. Round 2 Lt. Surge.
Tauros takes out Quagsire easily, then Porygon2 outspeeds him with the Quick Claw AND crits with Psychic.
Next, Typhlosion. He gets frozen by Tri-Attack so Porygon gets an extra turn.
Last, Jolteon. Typhlosion would survive a TBolt most likely if only Porygon wouldn't freeze him, so I take out Lapras and he just crits him with TBolt. OHKO.
That amount of cheating almost made me laugh :V
-
That amount of cheating almost made me laugh :V
Sometimes the game just seem to get stuck on the same RNG all the time. Once, I criticaled all five hits of Bullet Seed. And with Confusion, often it doesn't have any effect, or you hit yourself nonstop.
And if Psychic criticals, the opponent is confused almost every time. That's what I've observed anyway.

You know, I kind of like it better when it's the RNG [cheating] that kills me than when some players take the RNG out of the picture and do the exact same thing.
Smeargle with Lock-On and Sheer Cold, once you've experienced it first-hand you will know what I mean.
-
Taunt and priority moves pretty much screw Smeragle up.
If it doesn't have focus sash, then everything that's faster than Smeragle screws it up.

Also, starting on a Normal Monotype Silver challenge. I already got a Sentret, Spearow, and Jigglypuff and am about to face Falkner. Pretty easy so far.

I hatched a good natured Chansey with Natural Cure this morning. I'll need to begin EV Training it soon.
-
Emerald's AI is kind. It let me win.
"Let's see... I'm on my last Pokemon, with 1 HP left, and I'm afflicted with Curse. I'm paralyzed, and I've spammed Double Team nonstop in the first six turns. Kingdra has Rest in his moveset and is holding a SleepCure berry (forgot the name). What do I do now? I know! Ice Beam Water Pulse!"
If Kingdra had used Rest, I was almost certain to lose. Almost impossible to hit Kingdra, he's faster than my Crobat, and he'd just have to Rest again whenever Curse got close to killing him.
Luvdisk is ANNOYING. Sweet Kiss + Attract + Water Pulse that can confuse me three times in a row... He's not hard to beat, but I don't want the fight to last over 20 minutes.
And yeah, Kingdra spamming Double Team pissed me off. Thankfully, you can suicide with Curse (instead of the move failing), and it seems to accuracy/evasion, but I'm not sure.

and from Luvdisc
Luvdisc is great if you're playing with Battle Timeout, because its mere presence should cause your opponent to laugh at it for so long that you win the match.
-
^ I didn't say it posed any threat. It dealt crap damage. But it was faster than my Crobat, so whatever I sent out, it would get confused unless Sweet Kiss missed. And if I sent a male, it fell in love because of Attract and the fight just goes on and on and on as my attacks almost always fail. I could only 3HKO it at best.
-
How do I breed starly that knows endeaver and quick attack?
-
........Wow. VS R2 Sabrina.
First, Typhlosion vs Typhlosion
Her has EQ, switch out, 3/4 dead Tauros finishes him.
Alakazam comes in, finishes Tauros.
Lapras comes in, defeats Alakazam even though he has Thunderpunch. <3 Rest.
Last, Hitmonlee. Lapras gets finished. Typhlosion comes in, Flamethrower, critical, Hitmonlee has 38 HP left.
Dynamicpunch, connects, 30 HP left and confused.
Typhlosion hits himself. 8 HP left. Crap.
Mega Kick.
Missed :V
Confusion wears off after just a turn, and Hitmonlee gets finished.
It's cool to be on the cheater side for once :V
EDIT:
Okay, Red is pissing me off thanks to the fact that Raikou can take nearly anything and is faster than anything I have.
Also cheatlax with Quick Claw and Hidden Powers which are all super effective vs Lapras.
EDIT2: There. Still took some luck, though. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xVqQbwBiYcc)
Might try Gale of Darkness mono psychic if I can find my copy.
-
How do I breed starly that knows endeaver and quick attack?
1. Get a Male and Female Starly/Staravia/Staraptor that both know these moves. (Both come from leveling)
2. Breed them.
3. Hatch the egg.
4. ???
5. Congratulations you now have your FEAR Starly.
Also I began raising my Chansey and it's a Blissey at level 12 now.

Did I ever mention a lol event that happened when I was messing with Action Replay once? I made a Jigglypuff with a bunch of odd moves and was going to fight some random things in Platinum. I forgot that the file I was using didn't actually have all the badges yet and was just outside of the Windmill.
OH HEY LOOK A LV10 SHELLOS IMMA GO KILL IT
Drake disobeyed orders! (Oh **** whoops forgot badges lol)
Drake used Belly Drum!
Shellos used Mud-Slap!
Drake took a nap!
Shellos used Mud-Slap!
Drake is fast asleep.
Shellos used Water Pulse!
Drake woke up!
Drake pretended not to notice!
Shellos used Water Pulse!
Drake is confused!
Drake is loafing around!
Shellos used Tackle!
Drake is confused!
Drake hurt himself in his confusion!
Drake has fainted!
Yeah so yesterday I watched the third, fourth and eighth movie with some people. We all concluded that the third was the best, and the fourth was the worst.

Yeah... You must have an Ice or Water type on the stage.
AIs in the 3rd Gen follows a set of rules, one is that if it
CANNOT land on a SUPER Effective hit on you and
CANNOT lower your stats/ SELF stat is HIGH
it WILL try to inflect a stat problem, in this case, Confusion caused by Water Pulse.This have a high priority than Rest, Rest is one rank below that.

Well, he did use Rest in a previous attempt, while he was at like half HP, so honestly I thought he'd do it again. And aren't they using recovery items usually when they get in the red?
Anyway, I got through Victory Road, which was hard because I had to keep all those useless HM slaves. And I didn't want to gain levels, so I gave the Exp.Share to one of them.
Right before the Elite Four, everyone is level 30 or lower, I changed my moveset a bit, and I have a bunch of PP recovery items. Now let's see how far I get before everything goes horribly wrong.

Aerodactyl. With Swords Dance and Rock Slide.
-
...Now thats just plain unfair to the player...
PERFECT
-
...Now thats just plain unfair to the player...
PERFECT
Now seriously, here are my ideas:
Falkner: Give him a Pidgeot. Lv11 or something.
Bugsy: Evolve the 2 useless dudes, give Scyther Slash and Swords Dance.
Whitney: Evolve the Clefairy(make it a boltbeamer?), remove Rollout from Miltank and give it Body Slam and EQ instead of Stomp.
Morty: Evolve the Gastly and give the Haunters less retarded setups. Possibly TB or Psychic for everyone.
Chuck: He needs a Machamp. Which doesn't count on Dynamicpunch hax.
Jasmine: Evolve the 2 Magnemites, give Steelix Rock Slide instead of
Throw and EQ instead of Sunny Day.
Pryce: Jynx with Ice Beam and Psychic instead of the Seel, dump Dewgong, give Piloswine Ice Beam and EQ and possibly an Articuno.
Clair: A Dragonite instead of the Dragonairs, Aerodactyl, Charizard, Kingdra.
Make sure that the trainers don't have unevolved pokemon like lv25 Pidgeys. If it can evolve at that level, make it evolve.
And no lv2 Voltorbs after the 3rd gym.
That means more exp, so give the first 2 gyms 2 more levels, the next 2 3 levels, then next 2 +4 and up to the Champion +5.
E4: Will needs an Alakazam instead of the final Xatu, remove Curse from Slowbro and give it EQ.
Koga will be always easy. I don't see how can you make him harder.
Evolve Bruno's Onix and ditch Hitmontop for a Golem. And no elemental punches on Hitmonchan.
Karen....make Umbreon more annoying and get her something better instead of the Murkrow as it can't take a single hit.
Lance - Gyarados, Charizard, Aerodactyl, Kingdra, Dragonite, Tyranitar.
And REMOVE THE GODDAMN HYPER BEAM. It only makes him easier.
Just give them hard hitting moves which get STAB.(and HP Flying on Gyarados, Dragonite and Aerodactyl if possible)
The Johto gyms should have higher lvls than the champ IMO, also add some legendaries.
Moltres for Blaine, Zapdos for Surge, Mew for Sabrina, Celebi for Erika.
Evolve Brock's Onix, Rhydon and Graveler.
Give them more pokes in general. Blue seems fine to me, same for Red.
-
Falkner will be using a Farfetch'd, Noctowl and Pigeot.
Levels will range from 9-14.
Also I'm going to try and make some Pokemon less useless (Like Farfetch'd)

Well i'm at least going to boost his sorry stats.
Although giving him Swords Dance and Baton Pass for the first Gym would be lol.
Also should I give Pidgeot Steel wing to dicourage the use of Geodude?

Alright I found out a little about changing Trainers Pokemon in Gold but not much though...
almost every single link that looked helpful lead to stuff involving the GBA Series of games.
EDIT: Found out how to make Farfertch'd less sorry and edit leaders I might be able to get a quick recording of Falkner with A new team tonight if I make Lol blank maps.
EDIT2: I can only give Falkner the same amount of Pokemon he had normaly.
-
Pidgeot and Farfetch'd then. :V
Replace Chuck's Primeape with Machamp and for the kanto leaders just replace their weakest pokemans with the weaker legendaries.
-
I'm kinda on the fence for using legionaries on Gym Leaders.
Also I gave Farfetch'd a Boost to his Base HP and Attack.
I'll get a video of it up in a bit. I just need to get a small party together and finish the Moves for Pidgeot
-
Now let's see how far I get before everything goes horribly wrong.
Phoebe. Those freaking ghost types have so many attack types, Dusclops has Pressure, Banette has freaking Insomnia, and there are two of each! Took me A LOT of tries to figure out how to beat that Banette with Thunderbolt, which always gets sent second.
Then I lucked out and had Crobat solo Phoebe. Her Pokemon flinched like 80% of the time. Crobat gained 4 levels though, so I'll try to not use him much in the next fights.
-
Got stuck against Drake, will have to change my moveset (for one, make Shuppet relearn Spite and get rid of Screech).
What really pisses me off is the lack of X Sp. Def. in this game (Emerald). Of course, almost everything in the Elite Four uses Special attacks. Nobody in my party can learn Cosmic Power or Calm Mind, apart from Shuppet who is total crap at offense anyway. I mean, I used a boosted up Breloom against Walrein, who has an Ice attack but I forgot which, and he used Surf because "I can OHKO you with not-very-effective attacks LOLOLOLOL!!!"
I thought about using Solrock, but I have no idea who I would ditch. Probably Pelipper. But then I wouldn't have any Ice attack to fight Drake with. I could teach Blizzard to Vigoroth, but I doubt his Special attack is high enough, and I'd only get 5 PP. Argh.
I have a question : Do you find Double Team to be incredibly cheap? I'm kinda reluctant to form a strategy around spamming Double Team, but I just can't find anything better. The CPU likes to use it, so I guess it's ok, right?
-
Double Team destroys everything so it's fine to use if you're doing an in-game challenge. Might as well use all you've got.
-
Could I get the Trash coat Burmy by suiciding Battle tower with it?
I know I am seriously, seriously late in replying to this, but I might as well say it:
You know that restaurant where you get to battle trainers while it's open (i.e. not at night)? That's where I went to get Trash Coat Burmy.
-

I managed to find some indoor trainers at the start of the game indoors that i didn't fight yet.
Anyways Blissey is beeing raised slowly...
-
Screw this, Minun gets Double Team too. Right now, even after setting up Minun at Sp.Att (+6) + Dire Hit + Light Screen, I have only a 12,5% (well, maybe 20%) chance of beating Glacia because I absolutely need a critical hit against one of the Glalies, unless Icy Wind somehow misses.
And now I'm out of money.
Here's the save file in case you want to see what my team looks like or you want to screw around with it. Note that I'm using VBA Recorder~ because the avi record in this one doesn't unsynch the sound all the time.

VBA Recorder~ (http://dl.dropbox.com/u/474290/VBA%20Recorder%7E.zip)
-
Damn, Double Team isn't enough, I'll have to use Flash. Because Wallace has a freaking Whiscash, Minun's Hidden Power is Rock-type, and it can't learn anything special based from a TM, I have to use around 30 turns spamming random items so Minun gets a chance at not getting completely destroyed.
Edit : Bah, it's not as effective as I thought. 6 Double Team + 2 Flashes still gives the opponent a 20% hit rate.
-
Defeated Snattle in XD.
I've got defeated a few times before(Kirlia sucks and general hax), but Snattle wasn't that hard.
Mud Slap'd Lanturn 5 times and kept him in, then just beat them 1 by 1. Lunatone went down in 1 Great Ball.

Yes It was very long and boring...

What if it had a focus sash?
-
Fuck this, Emerald can go to hell. I'll finish it later. I'm tired of the AI pulling complete bullshit like hitting 3 times in a row at 28% accuracy, hitting twice in a row THREE TIMES at 10% accuracy, not being affected by Confusion 4 times in a row, and of course those random critical hits everywhere.
I think the pseudo-random (aka fixed) number generator in this game is completely screwed up, as random crap like what I said earlier happen often, and I have Quick Claw activate like half the time. I don't know how it works, but I see stuff with very small odds happen almost every fight, benefitting both me and the opponent. The problem is those benefits I get don't do much for me while if the opponent gets lucky most of the time I end up with a useless video. I lost against Glacia's Wailmer because her lvl 50 Glalie can't OHKO Minun, but her lvl 52 one can. 28% of the time. So now I have 46 minutes of crap.
I'm thinking about waiting a few minutes before actually starting an attempt, so I can get further in that chain of "random" numbers the game cycles through.
-
Okay my Blissey apparently has perfect Atc/Def IV's...

Did you EV train HP at all
If you didn't I'm calling bullshit Oh you did, well, whatever, Blissey's perfect HP score is 714
Emerald AI and how bullshit the pRNG is
now you know why Emerald has the "best" AI.

I'm helping a friend save pokemon from his card so he can make a new game.
Theres some iffy pokemon on it...
-
What if it had a focus sash?
It does :smug:
-

Well then you might be able to kill off most if not all the enemy team unless they have another pokemon with A Priority move. Or somthing faster than the Ninjask
-
Emerald made me angry, so I need something to calm down. Like Touhoumon Lunatic. I want to see Renko's rival sprites this time.
I already made maps of the dungeons (except Viridian Forest) so it shouldn't be too hard.
-
Well Porygon is coming along nicely...
Anyways I began playing with a friend of mine on Shoddy Battle.
I managed to deal 900+% damage to one of his Pokemon with Rollout.
-
At first I thought Rollout's power was 30-60-90-120-150, but according to bulbapedia it's 30-60-120-240-480.
With Defense Curl the fifth attack would have a power of 960.
And if the opponent had a double weakness, you have STAB, your attack is +6 stages and his defense is -6, and you critical, it's equivalent to, in normal condition, an attack with a power of 184320 8)
Also lol at Shuckle dealing 210 millions points of damage.
-
Hey this is Pokeman too. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ut5oo9SAeOQ) :V
-
You wouldn't want a critical because IIRC, that ignores all attack and defense decreases/increases.
-
Well I need to transfer like 100 Pokemon to my new copy of Platinum.
I had to transfer about that many a week or two ago to my Pearl Game because my friend wanted to make a new game...
-
You know, HGSS is coming up as well. Just informing.
-

Don't remind me... I'll need to do yet another transfer when I get HG...
Also I just hatched a Female Totodile for Breeding. So I can get a Feraligater with Dragon Dance.
-
I completed my Pokemon Emerald low-level challenge by using save states between the Elite Four fights. I was tired of playing Pokemon and just wanted to finish it.
The hardest part was setting up Minun in the last fight. I had to let it stand there in front of a Wailord for 21 turns while hoping he doesn't kill me (critical hit with Struggle) while I fed Minun with a bunch of X items. I forgot to give it X Attacks though and so I wasted 7 turns in front of Whiscash, hoping Earthquake wouldn't hit.

Out of boredom I began to play the Pokemon Stadium games via Emulator. Despite horrible graphics issues with menus and Stadiums its pretty funny.

Been so long since I last played Pokemon. I used to know all about Pokemon Red and Sapphire (because I used a guide) but I forgot :V. Anyway, I heard from Nwbi just that the third ranger game is releasing.

Yeah, it's set on a bunch of tiny islets called "Oblivia" and you get to ride around on those cool legendary beasties from the second generation, and there's a Pichi with a ukelele, and the boy character has really dumb hair.

5th gen announced! Maybe!
January 28, 2010 - HeartGold and SoulSilver are still the rage amongst Pokemon gamers, but Nintendo isn't letting Pikachu and crew rest. In Japan today, the company announced that a new main entry in the series is being developed for DS.
By "main entry," we mean a game in the line of titles that includes Red & Green, Gold & Silver, Ruby & Saphire, and Diamond & Pearl. The new game is set for Japanese release this year, meaning it will come four years after Diamond & Pearl's original release over there.
Nintendo did not share details on the game today, only hinting that it would have new Pokemon, take place in a new region, and feature new gameplay concepts.
But with the announcement out of the way, and with a 2010 Japanese release, expect to start hearing details shortly.
-
Yeah I read about that on Smogon yesterday.
Also I had a gimmicky Idea that could potentialy work well and I need to try it out.
-
Help me decide an NFE team for cute/pretty Pogerminz on Platinum.
The only mainstay is Dragonair.

Porygon2, Pikachu, Togetic and Staravia are the few that come to mind for me at least.

So I'm playing Emerald now! I'm trying out Pokemon I've never used and I'm hoping my final team ends up being something like
-Blaziken
-Gardevoir
-Aggron
-Lanturn
-Exploud
-???
Someone suggest my last spot. For some reason I keep thinking Cacturne, Glalie, or Banette, but I don't know, what do you guys think?
-
Use Masquerain!
Oh wait, Emerald sucks and took it out for no reason. ;_;
Use Cacturne. It's awesome.
-
Porygon2, Pikachu, Togetic and Staravia are the few that come to mind for me at least.
LBchu is boring fuck, Porygon2 I will consider using, Staravia is also boring fuck and Togetic is eh.
-
When it comes to NFE, maybe this (http://www.smogon.com/smog/issue5/little_cup) will help. Maybe.
-
After careful deliberation, my lineup is:
Dragonair
Ponyta
Teddiursa
Skiploom
Flaaffy
Horsea

I don't get it trance what am I supposed to be looking at?
Also my Lucario always gets KO'ed by unexpected Earthquakes, Superpowers or Aura Spheres whenever I try to use it against a friend.
-
Speed > Attack, even though base attack is higher than base speed.
In other words, crappy IVs.
At least, that is what I think.
Also, PLEASE switch in your Lucario properly. Lucario comes only late game after you scouted most of your opponent's pokemon, or at an opportunity. For more on this concept, check The Smog or War Story archive at smogon.

I know that but it happened both times when I battled a friend today with a highly incomplete team and I honestly thought I had a good opening. Didn't matter in the end though.

I'm not annoyed at low Attack, Dragonair has a Modest nature so it's going to have low attack.
BUT THAT HP WHYYYYYY

Honestly the worst case of IV's I can remember for me was A modest Palkia I kept resetting for.
It had a 31 Attack IV and Like 10 Special Attack.

I'm in, eventually. I had a perfect team of cute or pretty Pok?mon set up, but I never got around to EV training them. Do note that this has been in the works ever since Diamond/Pearl came out in the US-- I've been a total lazy ass about it.

I spent all of last night training a Drifblim and a Shuckle. <3
They're so CUUUUUUTE.

I can't play on Wi-Fi but that hasn't stopped me from raising way to many Pokemon for when I actually get to play some friends offline.
I practically have to use Shoddy if I want to battle anyone regularly.

Opponent: Scyther (1) / Dusknoir (2) / Infernape (3) / Heracross (4) / Gliscor (5) / Salamence (6)
Highlights:
My Froslass survived a Scissor Cross from the Scyther
My Froslass did not need to Destiny Bond
My Shuckle got killed at 48% HP from the PSN'd Cross Combat Heracross
After one DD, my Dragonair outsped the Jolly Infernape and then OHKO with Aqua Tail
My Dunsparce survived the Gliscor's EQ left w/ ~54% and OHKOed back with Ice Beam
My Dunsparce survived the Mence's FB left w/ ~3% and OHKOed back with Ice Beam
The Dusknoir was his bulkiest Pokemon

Generation V Pok?mon revealed! Zorua (right), the Evil Fox Pok?mon, and Zoroark (left), the Monster Fox Pok?mon.
So far it seems like it'll just turn into another Lucario, but obviously there are going to be some major differences between the two.

Hmmm... Dark/Fighting?

Both pure Dark-types, as far as what was revealed.

I really dislike this new Pokemon already. It looks like a really poorly designed fakemon. The first form isn't that bad though.
-
I won't write it off until I know it's stats and stuff. But as far as i'm concerened Honch has it beat in the Cool factor department for Dark types.
-
But Honch has everyone beat in the Cool factor department for every type.
-
The only question is how it will fare competitively.
-
Based on how it seems to be Gen5's Lucario I get the impression they'll attempt to give it a good movepool and high stats so it'll be used. Shame about the mono typing though.
-
I'm getting Poochyena/Mightyena vibes about these guys instead of Riolu/Lucario ones. Then again, they probably wouldn't introduce a new Pok?mon unless it was somewhat significant... right?

Just as I thought it would look like! Well, almost...

I wonder if they'll have the Celebi event for HG/SS. I was so mad that I missed out on it 10 years ago, and Celebi is still one of my favorite Pok?mon.

They better have one.
After all there is an event in-game you can get if you have a "Fateful Encounter" Celebi.

Battle Report
Me: Uxie / Hariyama / Mesprit / Kricketune / Cloyster / Jumpluff
v
Opponent: Gliscor / Salamence / Darkrai (!!!) / Scizor / Staraptor / Metagross
Highlights
Uxie U-Turns Darkrai, deals 44% HP Damage
Gliscor cannot do more than 5~8% HP damage to Uxie
Jumpluff uses Sleep Powder+Leech Seed Tactic on Metagross, deals 70% total HP damage before Gross switches out
Cloyster Hariyama survives a STAB Sky Plate Staraptor Brave Bird with 48% HP
Hariyama is awesome
-
I want to watch it :(
And serious wtf to Darkrai. More importantly, did you win?

I don't think I've ever seen a Suicune ever since I went into DP yet. Or maybe it just faints too quickly when I switch breloom in.
-
So yeah I began resetting to catch the birds with good natures. I got a Calm Articuno after a few tries but Zapados is annoying to catch...
First time it broke out of all 40 Ultra Balls I had and when I threw the Master just to see what the nature was it was Timid...
Unforunately I need to save the Master Ball for Entei so I reset.
-
I caught all the birds...
Anyways I made a Mixed Dragon Dance Latios because I had amessed up one in my box. No one will ever see it coming.
-
Latios? I think soul dew isn't banned in ubers so I guess you can use that.
-
Well when I am playing my friends its practically Ubers. I wouldn't dream of using it on Shoddy much at all after I did some testing there with it.
However Sucker Punch Mixed Latias is magic on Shoddy.
-
Just picked up my Jirachi today. Relaxed nature.
I wonder how I should raise it?
-
I wasn't able to pick mine up yet due to a massive influx of snow. I might use Platinum and Pearl to pick up 2 of them.
As for how you should raise it I would recomend Iron Head as a move regardless of nature. It has a 60% Flinch rate on Jirachi.
-
Ooh, what if I gave it a King's Rock on top of that? Doesn't that increase the chance of flinch as well? And Iron Head gives it a STAB advantage as well, right?
Fortunately, due to its nature, it has no focus on Attack or Sp. Attack, which broadens my selection of moves to use-- which means I could focus on one or both, and maybe focus some EV points into Speed, since it's Relaxed. It seems more versatile this way!
-
The bonus from Kings Rock isn't to good. Only provides a 3% boost at that point IIRC.
I'll dig up the page from Smogon later that explains why
-
Huh. I use King's Rock with my Togekiss w/Serene Grace + Air Slash. Does that mean it's pretty insignificant there too?
Since my Jirachi is of Relaxed nature, its Speed will be lower... maybe if I went with Choice Scarf or Quick Claw instead... Then again, if I go with Choice Scarf, I'd have to tailor my moveset for that too. I was thinking
Wish
Cosmic Power
Iron Head
[something else here, perhaps Psychic or Zen Headbutt? Maybe even Toxic or Thunder Wave? Thunder Wave would compensate for Jirachi's lower speed somewhat, after all...]
Hmmm.
-
Yeah i'll go dig up that page http://www.smogon.com/dp/items/kings_rock
The math it does ammounts to about a 4% Bonus.
-
All right then, I'll definitely use something else, with both Jirachi and Togekiss. :/
-
Whenever considering a moveset, always look for smogon. In this case, http://www.smogon.com/dp/pokemon/jirachi
-
Yeah, I've been checking out smogon ever since Rikter mentioned it a few posts ago; I hadn't heard of it until now. (Normally I get my information from Serebii.net and Bulbapedia!).
While Celebi is still probably my favorite and would love to have one in my party despite its myriad of weaknesses, I'm growing fond of Jirachi as well, if not only because it's so balanced in everything-- with a wonderful Steel/Psychic combo.
Still, taking things into account, Thunder Wave is a fantastic move, and Wish is will be useful as well. This leaves me to decide what the last move should be-- for boosting defense like Cosmic Power, or something for types that are strong against Steel/Pok?mon with high defense, like a special attack-based move. Psychic is always a nice move, but this Jirachi comes with Draco Meteor, which I may be able to use.... hmm. It's all just a thought.
-
Draco meteor is nice on Jirachi because you can come in against dragons on resisted or weak attacks (Not hard to do at all with Jirachi's typing and defenses) and hit them for Super-Effective Damage. But there is the problem of the Special attack drop but it won't matter as much if its your only special.
-
Right, it'd be a shame if I let a nifty exclusive move go to waste. However, what if the opponent's toting more than one Dragon type? One Draco Meteor and the next one will be pretty lousy, after all. In such a case, it may be better if I give it Ice Punch instead, which will make it effective against pretty much every Dragon type-- as well as a chance for freezing if I don't pull off a Thunder Wave in time.
On the other hand, this makes Jirachi absolutely vulnerable to Fire types, in which I could either simply call Jirachi back, or I could roll with the STAB advantage of Psychic, since that is also effective against many Dragon types, and many Ground and Fire types-- which are both strong against Jirachi-- especially since Thunder Wave won't be able to debilitate a Ground-type, not to mention it'll add more to versatility since Psychic is based on Special stats, when Iron Head is based on Physical.
/me ponders
-
And thus you meet the delima I am in whenever I raise a new Pokemon.
If someone runs over 2 Dragons then that is over centralizing. Its also something your not likely to be seen by better players because Ice Beam is Common. A good Pokemon to team up with Jirachi would be Latias mainly because Dragons won't be staying around if your packing Draco Meteor and Latias Ignores Eartquake (The most commonly used attack IIRC) which is Super Effective against Steels. If getting Latias is problematic (Which it likely will be due to it currently being 3rd gen only for the most part and always a wanderer) and Fire is troublesome you could use A Gyarados or Heatran.
I also picked mine up today I Reset for a Modest Nature.
-
Pffhahaha, how long were you in the store doing that? xD
Anyway, it's not like I can't handle Dragon types with anything else in my party, I'm just trying to figure out what I'm going to do with Jirachi, and so far, Wish/Thunder Wave/Iron Head/Psychic seems to be the best bet in terms of staying versatile while packing a punch at the same time.
-
I didn't stand in there long actually the Wondercard lets you reset over and over it doesn't record you picking up the gift unless you save. I was just naming stuff that could work well with Jirachi.
-
Ah! Well, damn. I wish I had known that. I would have got a more ideal nature.
Oh well, at least I'll keep that in mind for the Celebi event that they damn well better have. :|

Going to do first gym first thing tomorrow. And of course, my team isn't going to be serious at all because well, it's ingame. I'll use whatever the hell I feel like because it'll work anyway.
Also, I'm hoping to get a random shiny at some point on this file so that I'll be able to abuse the RNG. Of course, the only Shiny I've ever caught outside of Red Gyarados was a Swinub in the second gen games. So it's not like my luck has ever been good with them usually.
May also replay the GBA games eventually for legendaries, starters, etc. Even if it isn't necessary. But I won't have time for that before HG/SS comes out.
-
Great just great... I have a day to get a Rapid Sinner Bred and raised so I can battle a freind on monday and not have Ho-oh get Massacred by Stealth Rock...
Its kinda sad that I only have 2 defensive Pokemon raised and no supporters while I have way to many sweepers...
-
Just a little heads-up: If you missed the Pikachu-colored Pichu event, go to Mystery Gift -> Nintendo WFC, and you can get it there from today to March 25. :)
Another event? Is this for just platinum or for all games?
Man how many of those have I missed now :ohdear:
-
Diamond, Pearl, Platinum, any region AFAIK.
It's not so much an event as in a chance to get something you missed from the event from the comfort of your own home. :P
-
Gah, why do I keep missing with 100% accuracy attacks?! I checked the abilities, and nobody has one affecting accuracy.
I guess they're holding Brightpowders. It raises Evasion by 10%, unless you're the AI, then it's more like 30%.
But...Touhoumon is a hack of FireRed. I thought only Emerald's RNG was complete bullshit :/

Base Accuracy 100 doesn't mean 100% accuracy
-
Base Accuracy 100 doesn't mean 100% accuracy
Yes it does, as long as there aren't any accuracy or evasion modifiers present.
-
This game's a lot longer than I remember it being. Just got the third badge on this file. Levels are a little under 30, except for Gastly which is getting owned most of the time.
Team:
Monferno
Graveler(haven't bothered to evolve it yet)
Kricketune (wanted to try this out. It's not good, but it's doing well enough so far)
Gastly
HM Slaves
Gastly was picked up for specials since the other 3 are more physical based. Could still use another special attacker though.
-
Yes it does, as long as there aren't any accuracy or evasion modifiers present.
iirc in the old games 100 accuracy moves actually had like 97% acc or something :V
I don't think that holds in this gen though
-
In Red, Blue, and Yellow ONLY, moves have a 1/256 chance of missing, unless it's Swift.
On that note, use moves with a 'high crit chance' on RBY like they are always going to crit, because they...are going to pretty much always crit.
As for why you're missing, it may be your ability or something. Hustle does cut accuracy.
-
Got the Pikachu Colored Pichu off of the Mystery Gift feature.
Graveler kicked the water gym leader's ass with some help. Confused Gyarados with Haunter, but that almost got one shotted, so I switched. Kricketune put Gyarados to sleep, then I switched to Graveler and used Rock Polish to increase speed then just dropped Rocks on it for a while. Tried to SelfDestruct the second Pokemon but it didn't let me, so a few Magnitudes finished that, then one shotted his last one with a critical hit Self Destruct.
If I need the experience I'm losing to Self Destructing Graveler on Gym Leaders, I can just go use the Vs. Seeker.
I hate how the RNG method requires that you get a randomly generated shiny first since that's necessary to find out the Secret ID. It'll be a long time if ever before I can take advantage of that.
Now to go check out the Great Marsh area or to go for the 5th gym, which most of my team is going to suck at. May try to pick up a 5th one now if I can find a decent special attacker.
Edit: Also, I still need to do that monotype challenge sometime. Not now though.
-
So I dug up my GBA Action Replay to activate the Deoxys event in Emerald...
I knew it's stats where ridiculous but when something will be as good as most of my other physical attackers with no EV's and A hindering Nature its pretty messed up...
It's Special attack is just no.
-
As for why you're missing, it may be your ability or something. Hustle does cut accuracy.
I've had 3 characters miss on 2 different opponents up to now. Unless Swarm, Speed Boost, Synchronize or Pressure affect accuracy, it's the items.
And the fact I managed to inflict status effects means they're not holding Lum Berries for once, so it would make sense if they were holding Brightpowder.
-
My epic quest in Pokemon blue draws near it's end. I've reached the elite four, gonna spend my 8 rare candies as I see fit and own the shit out of 'em!
Charizard, Parasect, Electrode, Dodrio, Slowbro, Weepinbell (why haven't I evolved him yet?)

Remember to spam Amnesia.

Apparently, Jirachi event is still going, so I went and downloaded it three times on Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum for the heck of it. They're displaying boxes for HG/SS as if it's already out, except with "COMING SOON" on them. Reserved a copy of HG (hey, free figure), while I'm at it. Supposedly, next week, there will be an early opening for the games or something. Retail price of $39.99 makes me :/, though.
-

Oh right I forgot.
DPPt have revised the accuracy formula, so 100 BA = 100% accuracy.

So I played my freind who used nothing but ubers against my standard (horribly made) OU team.
Gyarados Out haxed Darkrai early on, Breloom destroyed Kyogre, Flygon and Porygon-z wreaked havoc in general.
Tyranitar and Dragonnite where Deadweight though
-
Porygon-Z isn't OU. Use a better special sweeper! Like Zapdos or something.
-

...Flygon doing well against an Ubers team?
Was it like, Dragon or Ground weak or something? O_o??
-
That doesn't mean it can't be great in OU with some support.
And yes Trance there was a huge earthquake weakness and aside from Arceus and Darkrai it outsped everything.
Main reason I lost was because I removed Skarmory though.

Never said Porygon-Z was bad. Was just mentioning the rather arbitrary tierdrop for Cressy and Pory-Z. Also, note, that, even though Ubers teams can be assembled very sloppily, they still generally have really fearsome offense and can tear through normal teams if they don't have appropriate walls or sponges (Brissey is a good example of a speshul wall).
-
Holy cow! I'm a pokemon champ!
-
So my friend asked for a Metagross so I made a nice Brave one with Bullet Punch, Pursuit, Hammer Arm and Ice Punch but he refuses to touch it...
It must be the name...
-

What did you name it?
-
Metacrotch?
-
No Meteor Mash, maybe? :P
-
I named it "EROTIC BUS" I have no clue what was going through my mind when I was naming it.
The lack of Meteor Mash isn't much of a downside on it.
-
Just got the 6th badge in my new playthrough of Pearl. I'm underleveled as hell because I've been skipping lots of battles and currently have 5 main Pokemon, so I'll probably be grinding before E4 considering this game has the hardest one. Highest level is 33 right now.
-
"EROTIC BUS"
That's the greatest name ever, why wouldn't he want it?
-

Somehow I read that as EREBUS
Maybe I'm onto something...
-
Note to self never underestimate a team full of Pokemon you raised yourself.
EROTIC BUS is quite good at tanking as my friend demonstrated to me this morning seeing as it took 3 unboosted Earthquakes to kill.
Also I had the worst best luck ever when my Honchkrow got a critical against Heracross with Sucker Punch but left it at 9 HP...
I then died to Close Combat.
-
4 more days until HG/SS. I'm excited.
-

No drill peck? Or any flying type moves or that sort?
-

Drill Peck would have totally killed Heracross.
Also, should I go for Double Spoiler (Touhou 12.5) first... or HG/SS first...?
-
Both! :D
I'm holding out on getting FFXIII for a while so I can get SoulSilver.
-
No drill peck? Or any flying type moves or that sort?
I wasn't confident I could outspeed it Heracross because I use a neutral speed nature on my Honchkrow and the Heracross had +speed nature.
I also need to breed A new Murkrow once I get Heart Gold for Brave Bird. Right now all I have is Wing Attack...
-
I have picked up Heart Gold.
I feel old now and my Totodile is level 9 and my Pidgey is Level 3.
-
SoulSilver get! I picked Chikorita. :3
-
Heart Gold, chose Cyndaqual
-
Heart Gold, chose Cyndaqual
it's cyndaquil you fucker
also, same

Falkner is actually difficult this time. Pidgeotto knows Roost.
-
My sister will (try to) return her copy of Soulsilver. She bought the French version by mistake. She prefers the English names and can't stand the French translation in general.
Part of it may be because it's abbreviated as Pok?mon ASS :V
-
Late, late, and late.
Just picked up HeartGold, and I'll probably start it soon. The Strategy Guide is pretty sad, though. It doesn't even cover Kanto.
-
Heart Gold and Totodile. Just scored a Magby off the poke...thing...whatever. I was going to get a Growlithe as my fire type, but this might work too.
Still need an electric thing of some sort...

You can catch a Mareep on the route south of Violet City.
Also, if you have Diamond, Pearl, or Platinum, you can still grab the Pikachu-colored Pichu as well. Send it to HG/SS and it'll unlock an event.

I beat Bugsy and i'm to tired to go chase after the farfetch'd in the Forest today.

Hahaha, yeah. The dude at GameStop was trying to get me to buy the guide as well, and I was all:
'hahaha no thanks, but I will take one of those Monster Hunter demos off your hands!'
GS employee: 'Those are for preorders only.'
Me: 'Not what I heard!'
GS Employee: *shouts at other employee* 'Are we giving these away for free?'

Exactly. Most of the stuff in the guides can be found on the internet for free anyway. =P
And, oh? The paper they used for the Instruction Booklet is matte instead of the glossy one that they normally use. It really adds to the 'traditional' atmosphere that the second Gen has for being arguably the most Eastern-oriented generation of them all. Good Job, Nintendo.
-
Oh neat, I didn't even notice that!
-
FFFFFFFF I entered a contest to see who can win the 16 badges first, and no transferring. I couldn't start working on my copy of HeartGold right away, so I could lose if I dont' CHEAT. No one said anything about Pokesaving, so..... :smug:

Whitney's Miltank does not pack Milk Drink this time. :smug:
I had so much fun stalling it to death with my Pidgeotto with Roost, Sand Attack and Quick Attack.
Rollout only hit once the whole time
So who here thinks Golduck is Water/Psychic?
-
So who here thinks Golduck is Water/Psychic?
It's not?
A friend of a friend of mine though Ninetales was Fire/Psychic
-
It's not?
It learns quite a bit of Psychic moves, but it really is a pure Water type.
To be fair, we usually guess what type a Pokemon is by the types of moves that they have, or just their general appearance and the location they're found in. i.e. Lugia is commonly mistaken to possess the Water type because it rests inside the Whirl Islands and have access to a fair amount of Water-type moves. And god knows 4 years ago I thought Groudon was a Fire-type because of Drought and how it kept spamming Fire Blast on me. >_>

I used to think Swinub was a fire type. :x It looked kinda dark red and was weak to water, so...

Well I either got insanely lucky or it's removed in the US Version.
-
Togepi hatches with Extrasensory <333333333
EDIT: This game has an ungodly encounter rate. I have to fight something every 3 steps, it seems. Great for leveling up, but it's incredibly annoying when you're just trying to get from point A to point B.
-
Fuck..... NZ is so late.. I have to wait till the 24th to get mine >:
-
I spoke to some of my friends who got the game and they all say Milk Drink was on Miltank...
Guess I lucked out insanely them.
-
Just got Soul Silver. Not very far though.
How exactly does wifi work in it? Same as DP? Is it even in it?
-
So yeah beat the 4th gym and I caught a Scyther and Tauros.
I seem to have quite a few flyers on my team...
-

Yes, Wi-fi works on HG/SS like in Diamond/Pearl/Platinum.
Also, ugh, goddamn Union Cave is so confusing... I'm still struggling on it. D:<
-
I beat Chuck went and caught Red Gyarados as well. Scyther was Evolved to Scizor.
I'm going the Olvine Lighthouse now.
-

Ugh, she spammed the hell out of that, and I didn't want to find a pokemon with a Fight ability that early in the game.
(Of course I have since learned that I can get a Heracross by headbutting trees, and that gets Brick Break... I think I'm gonna go back and get it)
-
Hell, I'm getting Heracross pretty much as soon as I get Headbutt. Thing's a monster.
-
I would but Effort explains why I'm not using Heracross.
If Headbutt still came in convenient TM form I likely would have gotten one.
-

I would argue that it's more convenient to get free, infinite headbutt training from a dude right south of goldenrod.
Edit: After a million Spearows I finally got a Heracross, and it was Adamant. Sweet!
-
SoulSilver obtained. I was going to go Heartgold at first, but Silver has better exclusives.

Oh god I love the new version of Silver's theme (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N1a-piSoOv8&fmt=22).

Ninetales
FURRY
-
Ninetales and Groudon. (not that I use ubers, ever) :smug:
To be honest stat wise Groudon's not that great compared to Kyogre Its best used with Ho-oh while Kyogre supports itself. And Arcanine is better than Ninetails more often than not.
-
I just reacently got heart gold. I keep loseing to Bugsey (since when was she a boy? SINCE WHEN DID HE HAVE PURPLE HAIR!?)
I was going to get SS because lol ursaring, but I just traded my teddyursa over from Diamond version so it's cool
-
FURRY
I cannot wait to kick your ass with one. :smug:
To be honest stat wise Groudon's not that great compared to Kyogre Its best used with Ho-oh while Kyogre supports itself. And Arcanine is better than Ninetails more often than not.
Uh... Kyogre and Groudon are the same statwise, if you switch their Physical and Special stats around-- and it can function fine on its own, what are you talking about? And besides, Ninetales' base speed is higher than Arcanine, and I can render it useless with Hypnosis or partially useless with Confuse Ray. :P
-
Yes you are correct about there standard stats but there is a key difference.
Kyogre is a Water type while Kyogre is Ground.
Kyogre litterally screws anything over with it's water attacks due to it's high Special Attack, STAB and an aditional bonus to STAB due to rain which it causes. Groudon can't do a single physical fire attack IIRC and if he could all he gets is a 50% damage boost.
As for Arcanine it gets Extremespeed and Morning Sun. It can't take hits as well as Arcanine due to much weaker defenses. (Damage Calucations comming just b/c I can)
I read Smogon too much...
EDIT: Extremespeed does 31.7% - 37.4% to the most Defensive of Ninetails using a Choice Banded Arcanine and this is just the extremes. Also Hypnosis is practically garunteed to screw you over whenever you absolutely neeed a hit with it.
-
You've got a point, I guess, but Groudon still looks cooler :V
As for Arcanine, Extremespeed is a pain, yes, but it's still only an 80 power move, which doesn't amount to much when you're asleep. As for Ninetales' weaker stats, it compensates by being able to debilitate the opponent-- not to mention it can learn Calm Mind as well for some quick buffing. Sure, in a head-on battle, Arcanine would likely win, since Ninetales isn't really meant to take on other Fire-types-- its best use lies in its ability to not only debilitate and buff, but it's also able to use Energy Ball or Solarbeam on top of that, which can ruin Water, Rock, and Ground types, all of which it is weak to-- along with effectively being able to use a Fire-type move on top of that.
-
Ninetails is much better as a special attacker however Arcanine does have capabilities for more roles.
-
But that doesn't mean it's worth writing off as not worth using just because Smogon says so.
-
I want to use a Dunsparce
-
Dunsparce would be kind of cool if its stats didn't suck.
-
Ultimately if you're not battling hardcore mofos who spend a bazillion hours breeding for IVs, it really doesn't matter what you use as long as it's not like... a team of six unevolved starters versus all legendaries.

-
Did you always have to do Sprout Tower before the first gym? My Totodile was overlevelled for the leader due to that, and I don't remember it being like that in the original versions?
Need to catch some more cause the other Pokemon I have are ones I don't plan to train. Might wait till tonight to grab a Ghastly though.
Also, my DS clock was off somehow since I got an item from someone that's only there on thursdays. Oops, I don't remember ever doing a time travel on any game. Corrected the time though after saving.
-
But that doesn't mean it's worth writing off as not worth using just because Smogon says so.
Smogon doesn't completely write off Ninetails actually. It just says it has an extreme niche.
I also going to use Farfetch'd to battle friends offline tomorrow.
As for FEAR I prefer to use Starly for that.
-
I battled someone at college today who had just got SoulSilver, in the Union Room. His Flaaffy and Sudowoodo were no match for my Bayleef and Togetic :V
-
Bugsy surprised me. Still not hard, but he definitely got buffed.
Currently using Croconaw and Flaaffy. I really need to pick up another to train soon.
What were the best HM slaves for these games again?
-
I've had a sandshrew carry all my crap around so far.
My favorite HM slaves are something that can also have Hypnotize, so it can switch in and make catching things easier.
-

Two Mews :smug:

Have all of the gym leaders gotten buffed? I FFFF'd when Falkner's Pidgeotto used roost.
-
Falkner and Morty are the only ones that where clearly buffed so far for me.
-
So I just had the misfortune of trying out Voltorb Flip. Fuck this stupid crap minigame.
Thankfully I can still buy, wait a second they removed that too, though I wouldn't have been able to buy coins then anyway. Crap.
I got up to level 3, then I got enough rounds with every row having Voltorbs then kept picking one with a Voltorb on the first damn pick enough times that I went back down to level 1.
-
Voltorb Flip is basically Minesweeper. Kind of cool.
-
What were the best HM slaves for these games again?
Magikarp can be caught fairly early on, and once it evolves you can generally teach it 5-6 out of 8 of the available HMs.
Skarmory can only be caught after you've gotten all the HMs (and only in one version), but you can cram a lot of HMs onto that too.
-
I wouldn't mind if the damn thing was actually like Minesweeper, though I get enough mine on the first pick in that game too, but there's a huge element of luck at times in Voltorb Flip.
Edit: Got up to level 4 of it once then a few more Voltorbs on the first pick. And I'm using a strategy that reduces chance by a lot, I still get screwed by bad luck.
-
They apparently removed coin-buying because Europe frowns on gambling.
:psyduck:
At any rate, I'm rocking an Absol now - got it in a trade from my copy of Diamond, 'cause I had been breeding them and Elekids for some reason before I stopped playing. Now the Absol's level 30 because Super Luck + High Crit moves = everything dies and I haven't been using much else.
-
Just got some sweet Revenge on Whitney for all the trouble she caused me back in the original versions.

Absol's a badass. I may raise one, or a Honchkrow.
I'm thinking of raising a Clefable with Magic Guard. Combine that with a Toxic Orb, Belly Drum, Facade, Meteor Mash and Wish/Softboiled, and you've got a killer on your hands that can take on pretty much anything.
-

I raised one of each...
And I plan to raise another Honchkrow soon. And name it Okuu. My current one doesn't have Brave Bird. I may breed another Absol seeing as mine has Pressure later as well but they both work in the same way essentialy.
Also caught a Khangaskan on my Pokewalker today might try her out eventually.
-
A Gardevoir might be a nice addition to my party. Which would be better, Hypnosis + Dream Eater, or Will-o-wisp + Psychic/whatever + Wish?
-
Hypnosis, Will-o-Wisp, Wish, Filler is decent for support. I prefer Thunder Wave over Hypnosis though because of accuracy and the massive speed loss.

Clefable has an extremely versatile movepool, in fact, Cleffy is one of the best "extremely versatile Normal Pokemon," where the competition is such greats as DELCATTY. Could be a support, a staller, an offensive Pokemon... Really, the possibilities are endless. Moreso with Magic Guard, where you can use the status orbs (I find Toxic Orb works better than Flame Orb but you can use w/e you want) and then proceed to kick ass with it because lol Magic Guard.

Like Matseh here. STAB'd Facade on Belly Drum, is extremely powerful. Clefable has an average ATK too, so it's still fairly viable, not to mention there's a bonus on Toxicorb. I prefer Wish over Softboiled in such a case, by the way. :3
A Gardevoir might be a nice addition to my party. Which would be better, Hypnosis + Dream Eater, or Will-o-wisp + Psychic/whatever + Wish?
That depends on what you want your Gardy to do. Support-based Gardevoir is much better suited with the latter and the former if you want a status-whore who can do damage: Hypnosis/Dream Eater/Calm Mind/Wish

Up to 7 badges now.
Pinsir kicks so much ass. Feraligator too. Ampharos, not so much at the moment. May pick up another Pokemon to actually train soon. Maybe.

Also! Anyone have any suggestions as to how I should fill out my team? What I have planned so far is
-Togekiss
-Chinchou
-Miltank
-Umbreon
Togekiss and Chinchou (not Lanturn, Chinchou is my favorite Pokemon <3) were going to be special sweepers, Miltank and Umbreon were support. I wanna throw in a physical sweeper or two. I was thinking Arcanine for fire-type coverage (I chose Chikorita), and then maybe a fighting-type...really not sure!
-
Just cleared the League.
I wasted so much money on items, which is what you do when you bring in 3 underlevelled Pokemon and a few others to revive them. I did want to bring in Vulpix or Ninetails, but trainers weren't calling for rematches and grinding on randoms sucks, and it wouldn't have helped at the level it was at. I didn't use anywhere near what I bought. Wasn't even saving until after I defeated the E4 since I wasn't sure if there'd be issues with my team, then I knew I had it won.
Feraligatr defeated most of the first fight with Choice Scarf Crunch. Pinsir soloed the next 3 with Swords Dance boosted X-Scissors and Brick Breaks. Did have to use an X-Defend against Crobat as well as an X-Accuracy(Double Team), and used an X-Speed against the 4th one.
Champion was easy though. Ampharos for the first, Choice Scarfed Ice Fangs for the next 3, and Choice Scarfed Waterfalls for the last 2.

I prefer my Togekiss setup right now. It's built to be a quick Special Sweeper that can take a hit, and would do well to have some buffs Baton Passed onto it. It knows:
Air Slash
Aura Sphere
Shock Wave
Roost
With the Serene Grace ability. Air Slash has a really high flinch rate and a STAB advantage, and Aura Sphere and Shock Wave never miss. With these moves, it can take on pretty much anything rather well, and it can take a hit with Roost as well.
-
Note: If you want to grind on the Elite 4, don't get the 16th badge.
Everything I saw said you had to defeat Red
before they went to to their stronger teams, now I have to train up to even be able to beat the E4 again. Well, I did skip a lot of trainers, but I don't think it'll be enough without come leveling elsewhere. I could use the legendaries, but I've been avoiding that so far.
Vulpix(No Fire Stone yet)
Pinsir
Ampharos
Feraligatr
Could use 2 other Pokemon as well, but then I need HM Slaves too. Just an ingame team for now though. It'll be a while before I try to train a good team. Maybe I'll transfer some stuff over.
-
Red
The game is ten years old. I don't think anyone cares about spoilers any more, even with the recent rerelease.
Anyway, up to Azalea Town. I love the gyms so far. <3 Bugsy's Scyther.
-
I have pokemon.
Am I cool yet?
Playing soul Silver, since out of all of the pokemon games that will ever exist, Silver is the one that is me.
I just beat Falkner, and My party so far:
Gastly (Still level 4, may dump)
Onyx
Ekans
Totodile
Nidoran (Can't get one yet, but will)
I don't know the first thing about team balance! What should I fix?
-
Gastly, once you get past the initial "WHY CAN'T I HURT NORMAL-TYPES" phase, is actually pretty damn good. <3 Curse, it's great for dealing with Gym Leaders.
Rock/Ground typing is terrible. Seriously, I'm pretty sure it's the worst in the game, it's definitely up there. Ditch Onix first chance you get.
If you really want a Nidoran, you should drop Ekans, and maybe Gastly too. While there are exceptions (weather-based teams spring to mind), you generally want to avoid having more than one pokemon of any given type on your team, and Poison is a mediocre type to begin with. Personally, I'd drop Nidoran, but I don't actually like Nidoran that much; your milage may vary.
-
Actually Poison is the worst typing tbh. Rock/Ground at least gets some nice moves while poison gets nothing except Toxic.
-

All Rock gets is Stealth Rock, which can be taught to just about everyone via TM.
To be fair, so can Toxic, but being weak to Psychic beats the shit out of being weak to Grass (x4), Water (x4), and Steel.
( For the record, I like Ground as a type. It's when in combination with Rock that it becomes terrible. Those two do not mix well. )
-
I've noticed this playthrough that Grass seems somewhat meaningless. Maybe I just didn't get any decent Grass pokemon (just beat the Elite 4), but...
-
All Rock gets is Stealth Rock, which can be taught to just about everyone via TM.
Did you forget about Stone Edge or something
-
Did you forget about Stone Edge or something
No, I just don't consider it worthwhile. >_>
-
Stone Edge is great.
...
Just not on Rock-types. <_< I have it on my Absol.
-
Stone Edge is the most unreliable move ever; it never hits when you need it to.
-
Asking about team Balance.
Arguing about which half of the team is worse.
:ohdear:
-
it's essentially the same thing :V
-
Still I would rather take STAB Earthquake and Stone Edge over Sludgebomb or whatever crap poison uses other than Toxic.
-
Just reached Blackthorne City. This is pretty awesome so far, and I actually find Voltorb Flip to be really cool. Better than slots at least since I have terrible luck.
Derpy ingame team:
Senor Toto (l. 29 Croconaw)
Five Steps (l. 31 Crobat)
Pyro Guy (l. 31 Magmar)
FrogPirate (l. 29 Poliwhirl)
Laser Eyes (l. 39 Pidgeot)
Capitalism (l. 29 Furret)
I give my pokemon really stupid nicknames :V
Does anybody know if it's possible to get a Magmarizer before postgame without cheating? Also, I still don't have a Water Stone for my Poliwhirl :x (Actually I like Politoed better than Wrath, but it's adamant so whatever)
-
I have no idea how you get them in HG/SS. I pulled my Magmarizer from my copy of Diamond. Still need an Electrilizer, too.
-
I got my Magmortar and Electrivire from Pok?mon Battle Revolution. :P
-
Stone Edge is the most unreliable move ever; it never hits when you need it to.
Put it on Machamp with No Guard. There. Fixed. Although now you have the problem of "everything that uses Stone Edge has the speed of a brick thrown in a vat of molasses".
-
Prody I disagree Fissure always misses when I need it to hit.
-
Why are you trying to rely on OHKO moves? :V
-
Only when i'm goofing off in normal gameplay it's more unreliable than Stone Edge.
-
Only when i'm goofing off in normal gameplay it's more unreliable than Stone Edge.
Stone Edge accuracy: 80
Fissure accuracy: 30
Yes it's more unreliable :V :V
-
Actually, Fissure's accuracy depends on the level difference between you and your opponent. So yeah, if you're using a level 100 pokemon against a Level 2 Luvdisc, it's actually pretty reliable. Almost as reliable as Tackle, even.
-
Doesn't it cap at 30%? (100% in R/B/Y with X-Accuracy)
Made almost no progress today. I caught Zapdos. That's it. Oh, I also got Latios into the Wild.
And I'm still neglecting FF XIII due to this damn game. Good game, but it's taking my time from other games.
-
I think Ice is the worst type. 1 resistance and 4 weaknesses, 3 of them from types often used for offensively (Fire, Rock, Fighting), means it's pretty hard to use anything other than a fast sweeper.
Ice moves are good, but I'd prefer losing the STAB and teaching them to Water types instead.
-
Grass/Poison is a pretty terrible type combination too. :(
-
Stone Edge accuracy: 80
Fissure accuracy: 30
Yes it's more unreliable :V :V
Normal gameplay! OHKO clause is always turned on in Smogon shoddy server ladder think.
And yea, Machamp is a pretty cool pokemon. Speed is low, though.
But still, I will never ever use Stone Edge. The 80 accuracy is an illusion!
-
You clearly act like I play ladder. I prefer Random with no clauses.
-
Still I would rather take STAB Earthquake and Stone Edge over Sludgebomb or whatever crap poison uses other than Toxic.
I've actually gotten some mileage out of Gunk Shot, but that's fairly exclusive compared to Sludge Bomb and Poison Jab.

It's a very bad DEFENSIVE type.
It's a very solid OFFENSIVE type, regardless of STAB or not. That doesn't discredit its usefulness as an offensive type.
-
:ohdear:
I already answered your question you ingrate
Anyway. Got my Plain Badge yesterday afternoon, and my Fog Badge last night.
Whitney's Miltank never got to use Milk Drink. :V
-
Just found out I ruined the Umbreon I was planning on raising. I got the Eevee from Bill in Goldenrod and have been constantly pampering it to evolve them damn thing, which I finally did at L21. I was planning on getting this moveset:
-Mean Look
-Wish
-Baton Pass
-Toxic
Wish is an Egg Move for Eevee. Baton Pass is learned at Eevee L36.
:V :V :V

This just in Sana is amazing at using Ice beam. He freezes too often with it.

Could've at least saved the one where I was about to lose but Ice Beam froze the Blastoise... :S
-
What server do you people play Shoddy on? I need more people to lose to some time.
-
Sana I tried to use the other ones but logs only save properly for the program when you were one of the players.
Also we currently use Smogon's CAP server but i'm looking into A few others with the HG/SS changes that don't have 400+ people on them.
-
I made a typechart in Excel, I find this easier when trying to work out type coverage for movesets because you can highlight rows, copy and compare, etc. Use if you want.

Could try and head to your local library or someplace, see if they have an open connection.
Also. Just repeating Voltorb Flip is terrible.
Picross and Minesweeper do not combine together well just because they have the same goal. Whoever came up with the idea should be punched.

Can't buy coins raaaage *punches Europe*
Also Mom bought me a Choice Scarf ;_;
-
With your own money! owned.
-
Whatever, you can't buy Choice items anywhere except using BP, as far as I know.
-
Falkner made me rage. Same thing for my rival's Bayleef when I battled him after the Slowpoke Well. Eh, that was just a week ago but now I'm too lazy to train my Pokemanz since they are below level 45 (except rage causing Lugia) when I got to Victory road.
-
I like Voltorb Flip. :<
Shame you can't buy coins, though.

Ideal HM Slaves!
HG, pre-National Dex: Poliwhirl (Flash, Surf, Whirlpool, Waterfall), Sandshrew (Cut, Strength, Rock Smash, Rock Climb). No Fly.
HG, post-National Dex: Golduck (Rock Climb, Strength, Whirlpool, either Surf or Waterfall), Tropius (Flash, Cut, Fly, Rock Smash). Teach Surf or Waterfall to a pokemon you actually use, they're pretty solid moves.
SS: Golduck (Rock Climb, Strength, Whirlpool, either Surf or Waterfall), Skarmory (Flash, Cut, Fly, Rock Smash) As above, teach Surf or Waterfall to a pokemon you actually use.
Of course, if someone has suggestions for better combinations, please put them forward.
-
2 Smeargles.
A bit of a pain to teach though...
Anyways I wish I got a Choice Scarf Pre Elite 4 for no BP...
Then again I have some on Platinum I can send over later.
-
Just transferred the Kanto starters over. I found my LeafGreen and Sapphire Versions, and I must have restarted them for some reason since there wasn't much of a file on them, so I just caught enough Pokemon to transfer then restarted to get them. Going to Transfer the Hoenn ones tomorrow.
Don't think I'll bother playing Sapphire again to capture stuff as I can do that on my Emerald version which won't be deleted, but I may actually play through LeafGreen as I never actually beat that version.
Edit: Or I could speedrun Sapphire to get Latias in the wild and transfer that. Never tried speedrunning any of these outside of Yellow though.

Ideal HM Slaves!
HG, pre-National Dex: Poliwhirl (Flash, Surf, Whirlpool, Waterfall), Sandshrew (Cut, Strength, Rock Smash, Rock Climb). No Fly.
HG, post-National Dex: Golduck (Rock Climb, Strength, Whirlpool, either Surf or Waterfall), Tropius (Flash, Cut, Fly, Rock Smash). Teach Surf or Waterfall to a pokemon you actually use, they're pretty solid moves.
SS: Golduck (Rock Climb, Strength, Whirlpool, either Surf or Waterfall), Skarmory (Flash, Cut, Fly, Rock Smash) As above, teach Surf or Waterfall to a pokemon you actually use.
Of course, if someone has suggestions for better combinations, please put them forward.
Herp a derp derp. Poliwhirl can't learn Flash, use Psyduck/Golduck or Quagsire instead. (Dunno if Wooper will work; try on your own.)
-
Bleh Finnaly decided running around with 4 flying types isn't fun and I swapped Murkrow and Pidgeot for the Extremespeed Dratini and a Donphan I caught on Victory road.
Time to do some grinding so I go into the Elite 4 around level 40.
-
I somehow just beat both Chuck and Jasmine using only my L28 Chinchou.
:V
-
>L28
>not lanturn
???
-
Probly a pokemon they really like.
Also Safari Zone has wild Larvitar. This is Excelent I won't fight the Elite 4 until I have A Tyranitar.
-
all of my team is under leveled, I can't find any good ice-type monsters, and none of the ones I use know ice moves, BRB, Dying to clair a million times
-
Gyarados is your friend. Learn Ice Fang Kill stuff
-
PM me your Friend Code, guys.
-
I'm sticking to Platinum for now. Might get back into HGSS but we shall see.
-
Does anyone have jirachi?
And my wifi is acting up. :(
-
I have a Jirachi. It's gonna be the star of my competitive team (lol pun).
-
Got one but I made it a weird Choice Specs User and I can't trade.
-
I hope my Jirachi has decent attack IVs or it's going to suck :V
-
I bet it's not as cool as my Jolly Manaphy. :colonveeplusalpha:
-
Manaphy's an Uber so I don't use it anyway :p
-
It's not uber when you give it a bunch of physical attacks, dohoho D:
-
Why would you do that （?・＿・｀）
-
Because it's Jolly!
-
lol I have a Timid Manaphy and I don't even use it.
In fact I have no clue why it's even Uber.
Wynaut is clearly more uber than it :V
-
Tail Glow and Heart Swap, most likely. Throw a Kyogre in the mix and you've got a broken powerhouse.
-
Ehh Still not that impressive.
I mean Tail Glow is okay but Manaphy only has like 2 non Hidden Power specials that are good.
Heart Swap is to situational in my opinion all it does is swap Stat changes.
-
Tail Glow and Heart Swap, most likely. Throw a Kyogre in the mix and you've got a broken powerhouse.
Why would Kyogre supporting something make it Uber when Kyogre, you know, can't be used in OU?

That's still enough for a full moveset. :x
Also, Hydration+Rest
-
By the way Cressilia apparently takes hits better than Deoxys-D.
-
Cresselia has Levitate, and the 120 to 50 base HP is technically better than the 120/130 to 160 base defenses.
-
And yet it was demoted to BL tier :V
-
BL isn't a tier, it's just pokemon who are OU level but aren't actually in the list of the top used pokemon.
-
That's because people who still used it bawwww because they could only use it to wall up more ubers.
-
how do i figure out friend code?
-
Go downstairs at any pokemon center. Talk to the furthest on the right and she should give you a pal pad. You can use the pal pad and it will have and option to show your friend code (I think)
-
Heart Swap is to situational in my opinion all it does is swap Stat changes.
Which are common in competitive play.
Why would Kyogre supporting something make it Uber when Kyogre, you know, can't be used in OU?
Since when could you use Manaphy in OU, anyway?
-
Still I don't think Manaphy has much going for it. Jirachi and Celibi seem much better and have better use outside of rain...

As much as I adore Celebi, I almost don't want to use it since it has so many weaknesses... Jirachi only has two.

There is so much truth to this.
-
Ah, finally got to Blackthorn City.
My Pokemon are all L32, though. Time to get destroyed by Claire :*
-
Speaking of Blackthorn, why is it so freaking impossible to find scales for the move tutor? ;_; I had a bazillion in Diamond.

Which Route did you find them on?

Which Route did you find them on?
The beach route.
Also:
In HeartGold and SoulSilver, Heart Scales can be obtained by destroying rocks with Rock Smash or as a Pok?athlon prize on Wednesday or Sunday for Pok?mon Dollar1,000. Additionally in these games, a Pok?mon with the Pickup ability can also collect Heart Scales at Level 51 or higher.

i am such a geek
brother's fighting blaine, i'm playing kanto gym leader theme synced together with the game
-
You actually fall through an open window on the Lighthouse, and get treated with a more landscape view when you land on the outsides. Not as if D/P/t didn't attempt to play around with the perspectives, but it wasn't as noticeable as this (barring the layout of Platinum's Torn World).
Hitmonchan's sprite animation is actually pretty neat-looking. Almost to the level of that clever placement of a Fire Seal on Flint's Magmortar in Platinum.
I also chuckled at the moment where Silver/your rival said "Hey, hey! Why so serious?" when you have him down to one Pokemon during the battle inside Goldenrod Tunnel's basement.
It seems I'm the only one actively appreciating the game's aesthetics more than the metagame at this point. =P
-
Claire is a complete whore. This is pretty much the first time since I was a little kid doing the E4 that I've had to restart from a save more than 3 times to beat someone. I was about to KO her paralyzed Kingdra with Meganium, feeling smart that Smokescreen did nothing to Magical Leaf. *FULL RESTORE!* What the f- *HYPER BEAM CRIT W/ SNIPER ABILITY!*
also that one kimono girl with psychic aaaaaaa

Is it me or does it seem that in Gardenia's gym (the really green part), the player looks like s/he's walkinig slightly above the ground?

Once I was kicking by brother's butt on Wi-Fi. I laid Toxic Spikes, then on the next turn, he used U-Turn. What the hell.
-

Forretress is equally adept at carrying out those instructions.
Also, really not enjoying being railroaded into having to capture the version's legendary before I can go to Victory Road.
-
I don't think you need to. I caught Ho-oh anyways, but I don't think there's anything stopping you from Surf -> Waterfall -> Walk -> Victory Road -> E4.
-
I don't think you need to. I caught Ho-oh anyways, but I don't think there's anything stopping you from Surf -> Waterfall -> Walk -> Victory Road -> E4.
Yes there is. If you try to Surf out of New Bark, Ethan/Lyra stops you and asks where you're going.
-
Is that only when Lugia/Ho-oh are able to be captured? I mean, I'm about to head to Blackthorn for my 8th badge, but I can surf out of New Bark (and into Kanto) with little trouble outside of not being able to go up waterfalls yet.
-

Forretress isn't an exploding spiky vagina.
-

Well in DPP you had the catch the cover Pokemon before the elete four, so it's possible.
-
Gyarados with Thunder and Ice fang is really helpful against Clair, to bad it keeps dying by the time i get to Kingdra.
Also, I need a new HM slave, my sandslash is sucky :C
-
Forretress is equally adept at carrying out those instructions.
Forretress is also less awesome.
-
Forretress is also more awesome.
You seem to have made a typo. I've taken the liberty of correcting it for you. ^_^
-
Yes there is. If you try to Surf out of New Bark, Ethan/Lyra stops you and asks where you're going.
Well fuck them; they're retarded and do nothing the entire game.
-
Ok, I fianly beat Clair, nabed myself a Dratini on the way out, got the master ball, and am about to battle the Kimono Girls.
My Gyaradose's moveset is currently Surf, Whirlpool, Thunder, and Icefang. This is really working for me, and I think it would be pretty usefull in competetive play too (without Whirlpool that is) what do you guys think, am I a silly pokenoob or am I on to something?
Also I still need to something about My HM slave and My FlyingBuddie who are both patheticly weak compared to the rest of my team :V
-
Gyarados has much better attack than special attack so you're gonna want Waterfall over Surf :V
lol Thunder
-

This is good things, I am fully apriciative of your input
-
Also when it's high enough level to get Dragon Dance, get it. It kicks ass.
You can also give it Stone Edge or Earthquake or both for some good type coverage.
-
waterfall
dragon dance
ice fang
earthquake
ice fang+earthquake gives more coverage than stone edge+earthquake, even though it's technically weaker

I give up on the Bug-Catching Contest. This is ridiculous.
I went through it today, found a L13 Pinsir, caught it because fuck year Pinsir!
I lost to a Caterpie.
Then I decided level might be more important than badassness, so I caught a L18 Caterpie, the highest-level I've ever seen a BCC Pokemon be.
I LOST TO A PINSIR.

Catch a heracross :V
-
Oh yeah! (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v239/COChaos/OfficialNuzlockeRules.jpg)
Self imposed rules for a play of Crystal Version
- If a Pokemon faints, you have to release it.
- You can only catch the first Pokemon you find in an area that isn't a duplicate, and that is the only one you may attempt to catch. If you do not/cannot have Poke balls or you fail to catch the Pokemon with them, tough luck. Gift Pokemon are not exempt from this rule, they count towards the limit. By the way, one Poke ball per mart. I hate this rule~
- Nickname every Pokemon you catch. Bond with them.
Then watch them DIE. - No trading, ingame or otherwise.
- No using the Daycare services. That means no breeding. I'm still picking up the egg that I get for free, but I'm counting that route as the area I received it in, so I can't get another there.
- Battle Style = SET (no switching right after you beat a Pokemon)
- No Pokemon Centers. Heal with items only.
- No items outside of battle. Going into battles with weak Pokemon to heal is OK. This should only be a real problem during the Elite 4 or something.
- No loading from a previous save. Basically, loading to save my ass is forbidden.
- Record it all.
THIS IS GONNA BE SO MUCH FUN
Also good luck catching that Heracross. I hear someone spent a long time trying to find one of those buggers. (http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/genmessage.php?board=198308&topic=45408427)

Still considering that to be POKEMON: FIRE EMBLEM EDITION.

Thank you for not admitting I gave this idea on GensokyoOnline to you guys ;_____;
Nah, I am not mad at you <3
In fact I planned to do the same thing on my Nuzlocke run on Emerald.
Lets post updates about our progress the whole time here!
-
Stone edge beats up Mence and other Gyara though
So does Ice Fang.
x4 Ice weak is lol
EDIT: Oh wait, other Gyara, Ice Fang just neutral. Well you don't really see very many Gyarados mirror matches anyway.
-
Sounds like a plan~
Remember kids: Poison sucks. Poison Sting will always poison you. Make encounters with Wurmple/Weedle/ect fast or run away. And by always, I mean it says it has a chance but you'll get poisoned anyway because the game knows you're doing this run and it hates you. I tested this out with a Spinarak. I was poisoned the first time it hit me. Luckily, I had an Antidote I picked up earlier, and it didn't poison me the second time.
Also, if anyone gets this: I've named my rival's Totodile GatorFace.
...and how am I going to deal with the issue of PP? Hm...
EDIT: Oh, and I may not abuse Kurt's ball making. It's sick and wrong.
-
Love balls are absolutely god. I suggest it for trying to catch any pokemon that has a gender.
-

Love balls more like Seduction balls.
Sick and wrong.
Also, anyone have a better idea for recording than me trying to work with those huge FRAPS files? I'm getting sick of dealing with them. x_x
EDIT: Uploading fun. Only the first part of two that I currently have recorded, but it's something. It has some commentary thing too~ (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_X33tEy-hfE)
EDIT2: And now the other~ (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z9xZskVG66E)
It also has a lesson on Poison Sting. ._.
EDIT3: REMEMBER TO SAVE BEFORE SHUTTING OFF, KIDS

And it is time to give you MY update on the Nuzlocke challange (nʞnɥsuǝb and I are the only real men in this thread) (Also because I just bought SoulSilver)
Brought to you using the characters perspective to make it more exciting/annoying.
I started as a girl named Jane (Fuck yeah, playing as girls)
Jane picked a Cindaquil named Asperquil, and she went on her great journey!
A great journey to Mr. Pokemons house, that is!
And of course the memorable encounter with our rival, that is named Myon, the great person that is hated by team Rocket AND the police now. And apparently it is really hard to find someone with red hair. Especially in a country where you can't even hide proparly.
After Humilitating him by throwing 6 smokeballs and then leering him to death, Jane recieved her pokeballs!
Fucking Gold then showed her how to catch pokemon, because after Hoenn, Kanto and Shinnoh she totally forgot.
Then Jane got the misfortune of murdering the two pokemon she battled. Which means she couldn't catch anymore on that route! (Fuck that, they where a Sentret and Pidgey anyway)
After being said she is weak by youngsters (it is because she is a girl right!) and being compared to Bug Pokemon (Which resulted in burned Caterpie) she caught her very first pokemon! A Bellsprout that she named China Trap, Because it is Yellow (Bellsprouts are actually my favourite Pokemon)
She decided to train in the Dark Cave where she caught a Geodude named Deviantard.
Right now she is training there using a massive genocide of geodude's of the Defence Curl clan.
(I actually raged when a Dunsparce showed up. I couldn't cath it ;____; Yes, I actually follow the rules ;3)
PS: Right now it really ain't hard,
See you next time on the next more exciting episode! Falkner and the Bellsprout tower thing!
-
Ah, finally got to Blackthorn City.
My Pokemon are all L32, though. Time to get destroyed by Claire :*
You can, with a correct team, beat Claire with a Lv30 Team consisted of 4 members and 2 cannon fodders.
You need 5 revives and several lemonades.
Hint: Haunter with curse is a must.
-
My strategy for Lance:
1. Send out Ampharos
2. X Sp. Def. the hell outta that thing
3A. If Static doesn't proc, cram some milk down its throat
3B. Static procs :toot:
4A. Death by Outrage because sending your strongest right after your first is apparently the AI's favorite thing to do
4B. CHARGE BEAM YEAH
So um yeah, beating Lance with a single non-Ice type under level 45 is not very fun.
-
I just used my Ho-oh :moogy:
-
Togekiss used Thunder Wave! Dragonite is paralyzed! It may be unable to move!
Dragonite is fully paralyzed! It can't move!
Togekiss used Air Slash!
Dragonite flinched!
Togekiss used Air Slash!
Dragonite flinched!
Togekiss used Air Slash!
Dragonite fainted!

I'm still to lazy to do anything in Heart Gold.
Then again when I do get back to it I need to grind alot for Tyranitar anyways.

I wish this could happen forever with Bite. Though it once happened on Wifi. After the match, my friend came over to my house and beat me up.
-
Love balls are absolutely god. I suggest it for trying to catch any pokemon that has a gender.
I tried Love Balls on the Shiny Gyarados at the Lake of Rage. It was at 1HP and asleep, but broke out of every Love Ball I threw (Gyara was male, my Miltank was female). However, it stayed inside the Pokeball I threw.
I deduced that my particular Gyarados is gay, thus it is now named GAYrados.
I wish this could happen forever with Bite. Though it once happened on Wifi. After the match, my friend came over to my house and beat me up.
It works better with Togekiss and Air Slash. AS has a 30% chance of making the foe flinch. With Togekiss' Serene Grace ability, that gets doubled to 60% :V
-
My Togekiss has a permanent position in my party. I love it.
-
Explosion has A near Permanent place on my teams.
Just ask Sana I used a team with no less than 3 Exploders once.
-
My Togekiss has a permanent position in my party. I love it.
Same here. With Serene Grace, Aura Sphere, Air Slash, Shadow Ball and Roost it's defiantly a main stay in my team. :V It's also so adorable. I do feel sorry for the eight bred Togepis that I threw away for having Hustle instead of Serene Grace. I know it's mean, but I needed Serene Grace :( My friend still calls me a monster for dumping them all.
I haven't been able to play Pokemon that much (I've got Pearl version. I liked the unique Pokemon in it more), so my most powerful self trained Pokemon are around level 60. I do however have caught a Giratina of level 70, so that's my second highest leveled Pokemon
Who is my most powerful and highest leveled Pokemon?
Movie Arceus level 100, biatch!!!!
(my local game store had an event where they gave away the movie version of Arceus for free. The movie version is lvl 100 and has Roar of Time, Shadow Force, Spatial Rend and Judgment. Aren't I a lucky bastard? :V )
-
Oh god damn it.
I forgot to save before powering down.
So ignore the fact I had any video up.
I hate everything.

Same here. With Serene Grace, Aura Sphere, Air Slash, Shadow Ball and Roost it's defiantly a main stay in my team. :V It's also so adorable.

I have dumped 89 Charmander for an Adamant Belly Drum Male.
And my strongest Pokemon are my Tyranitar. Of the 2 I can actually find they have very high IV's (Favorite Pokemon so I went the extra mile)
I can't find my other 4 and my freind as a seventh I need back to breed more Tyranitar. (Because he has a Female who hatched from an egg that he used in Pearl.)
-
My Togekiss doesnt have Serene Grace.
*Parsee*
-
Movie Arceus level 100, biatch!!!!
Gah, when will that show up in America?
Then again, I'm wanting a Celebi much more right now~
-
I wan't Azure Flute Arceus more TBH.
I can't EV train the level 100 Arceus.
-
Explosion has A near Permanent place on my teams.
Just ask Sana I used a team with no less than 3 Exploders once.
....
*sets up a ghost and rock-steel type team :V*
-
Gah, when will that show up in America?

Well, that game store I mentioned frequently done these little events. They already gave away Darkrai and Regigigas (Got the former, missed the latter). It's a small store but extremely awesome and they have absolutely everything. It was however no big, official event (and I have no idea how they got those Legendaries.) So unless you have similar store near you, I doubt that an official event with movie Arceus will appear. Sorry :(
A friend of mine missed to get Arceus though, and is now begging me to use cheats to copy my Arceus and hand it over to him. But I have no knowledge of how to do that and I have never been such a fan of hacking... I always wanted to do everything fair and square. But my friend's endless begging isn't helping. Perhaps I should learn how to clone. Then I could trade you guys copies of Arceus, unless you are anti-hack like me. What should I do?
I wan't Azure Flute Arceus more TBH.
I can't EV train the level 100 Arceus.
True, true. I however think, since Arceus already has the highest base stat of all pokemon, that it doesn't really matter all that much. He's already far superior than almost all the others. And having the ultimate signature moves of the other three Legendary Dragons (which are otherwise unlearnable for Arceus) also gives this version a heavy power boost. I think both versions have their pros and cons, and I understand your choice.
-
It's not that I don't have a store available that does these promotions-- in fact, I can think of 4 of them all about 20 minutes away from where I live. The problem is, the Movie Arceus hasn't been announced for us yet, if ever.
-
OK, back where I was, and better than before, now with a faster better encoder. Not uploading the video until later, though.
Current Team:
Male Lv 8 Cyndaquil - Inferno
- Tackle
- Leer
- Smokescreen
Personality Thing: This little guy apparently lives to battle, despite his cute exterior. When battling that Totodile, I swear he look like he was going to go savage and rip it's head off. Then again, so did that Totodile...what was it called again? Gatorface?
I hope this little guy doesn't burn out on me. But based on how he handled himself with that Totodile, I shouldn't have to worry too much. <3
-
Arceus has 120 in all stats Unpredictablity is his strong point and the only good move from the Dragon Trio he gets is Spacial Rend (unless you use a weird Ghost Type Tank then Shadow force might be viable). It's A nice Subsitute for Draco meteor should you not like the SP.A drop.
As for EV's... Those make a huge difference.
Also Matsuri I think it came out quite awhile ago IIRC.
And i'm hoping for A Deoxys Event myself.
-
Awww, it did, back in November. I missed Shaymin, too. :(
Oh well, I don't really have a use for either of them. Celebi, on the other hand...
-
09:23:15 (blue_light) a pookar = croagunk
09:23:30 (blue_light) creepy stoner that molestes children
This made me laugh for some reason.
-
Interesting Trance that seems odd though...
And now I can never unsee that.
Anyways I could use a Celebi as well has some nice options availible.
-
The biggest reason I want Celebi is not only because it's one of my overall favorites, but because it'd be a fantastic opener for my Togekiss, with some sweet Calm Mind + Baton Passing action, turning Togekiss into more of a Special powerhouse than it already is.
EDIT: We did miss out on Deoxys and Darkrai, too, Rikter. :x
-
I have a Darkrai from A friend... I kinda took it when He cleared his Pearl and I haven't geiven it back.
However a friend of mine took my Deoxys-A so I need a new one...
-
So I recently found myself a Phanpy while grinding outside of Blackthorn. I immediately cutegasmed and threw my L36 Dugtrio in the box to rot and grinded my new (ADAMANT, FIRST TRY) Phanpy up to a L35 Donphan, so it could compete with the rest of my team.
Then I forgot to save ;_;
Also, I forget, what does the little line about the Pokemon's personality mean, again? Not Natures, the stuff like "likes to run" or "hates losing."
-
Pretty sure that it has something to do with their IVs and what kind of berries they like, or something.
-
It vaguely points to the highest IV. Nothing to do with berry liking.
Details here. (http://serebii.net/games/characteristics.shtml)
-
I'm also wanting event Celebi, although not so much for the Pokemon itself but for the ingame event it's supposed to unlock.

Man the badge order of Kanto is confusing. I'm not sure who to fight next. MIsty isn't there, Cinnabar is gone, Brock is blocked off, and uh... Gary is that you?
-
There is no Gary. Only Blue.
Who is technically Green.
Also there is no order in Kanto. You fight whoever the hell you want.
-
Then where the hell is Misty <_>
-
If it's the same as the original Gold/Silver, she's up by Bill's house on a date, if I recall from 10 years back.
-
Man the badge order of Kanto is confusing. I'm not sure who to fight next. MIsty isn't there, Cinnabar is gone, Brock is blocked off, and uh... Gary is that you?
Just play through Kanto like you did in the original GS. Can't be that hard to remember what you did 10 years ago can it?
... Holy shit 10 years ago... Excuse me, I gotta go nostalgia BAWWWWWW somewhere else for your guy's sake. ;_;
-
I've actually never played the original. It's the only Pokemon game I haven't played :ohdear:
-
Oh wat. Pokemon Silver was probably the first game I've ever beaten. Easily the biggest part of my childhood. You really missed out.
-
You really missed out.
Yeah :ohdear:
Anyways beat Misty, even though her Starmie was a luckhaxing bitch arg
So who's next? I seemed to be trapped between construction workers (to cinnabar) and ledges (to pewter).
-
Ok guys, My bird pokemon is tottaly shitty, so I'm going to train a useable honchkrow OUT Of THE EGG (uhg, why did I do this to myself)
Should I just evo it ASAP, or should I wait a while?
Also, Gen 5 gets officialy announced soon(on the 11th or something), I hope the pokemans aren't compleatly hideous
-
If you want Sucker Punch (lv. 45), then wait. Otherwise, Honchkrow learns all the useful things Murkrow has already.
-
I hope the pokemans aren't compleatly hideous
Don't count on it :smug:
-
This is my strategy for Claire so far:
-Choice Scarfed Chinchou obliterates Gyarados with Discharge
-Togekiss Air Slashes the two Dragoinairs to death and hopes they flinch which they never do
-Chinchou comes back in and Thunder Waves Kingdra
-SPAM AVALANCHE WITH SNEASEL AND PRAY
this has yet to work :V

FJGHFJGHFJFHJHAJHSJDAH
Spent forever looking for the pokeflute to wake up that damn snorlax and then just now I found out IT'S ON YOUR RADIO
-
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
My Pidgeotto died ;_;
Red Gyarados can go burn in a fire, you...you...
*cries*
It was my everything D:
If I had no idea what to pick, for the enemy would have been too strong, Ace is the one I would go to
If there was an annoying bug I could wipe out, Ace would normally be the one to Gust it away
Whhhyyyyyyyyyyyyy...
Nuzlocke runs are harsh. ;_;
Oh and a Poliwag died earlier too, but it was instantly replaced for I didn't get it far too long ago (the short lived one was named BitTorrent, the new one is named Trollin because that's totally what it felt like it was doing)
-
Pidgeotto has like 50 for both base defenses. How it didn't die sooner, dunno.
>:3
-
Well, shit.
This could have been so much easier if I knew Gyarados didn't HAVE A WATER MOVE.
It's a giant water snake dammit, it's supposed to have a water move.
Otherwise Graveler(Rockman) (I know what I did there, that's why I did it) could have torn that thing up like it was...cardboard. I would have still needed to worry about Dragon Rage taking off 2/3rds of it's HP, but when you have a large supply of Fresh Waters that's not that big of a deal.
But hey, I can't say my Gastly and Poliwag were more defensive than Ace. .-.
...*cries*
Someone please remind me why I tackled that thing before going to Olivine ._.
-
By the way never use a team of 6 of the same Pokemon without Nicknames. You will get confused between which one does what.
-
Mt. Silver here I come!
/me gets mauled by level 88 Pikachu
-
I just beat the Elite Four using only a L40 Alakazam and a L43 Gyarados. 8)
Actually I had a Gengar on like 36 that I used a little on the first guy. But that was it. Dragon Dance + Ice Fang steamrolled Lance's entire team.
Just play through Kanto like you did in the original GS. Can't be that hard to remember what you did 10 years ago can it?
10 years ago
OH GOD I'M OLD

Oh man, I was reading this article (http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/List_of_Pok%C3%A9mon_by_Diamond_%26_Pearl_Battle_Pok%C3%A9dex_number#.23501_-_.23531_Spiritomb_-_Shaymin) and this line just cracked me up
Each of Unown's 28 forms are given separate entries, as are Castform's four, Deoxys's four, Burmy's three, Wormadam's three, Shellos's two, and Gastrodon's two. These total an additional 39 entries. Cherrim is only given one slot; its Overcast form is not counted. Spinda's other 4,294,967,295 forms are not included, for obvious reasons.
Hmm interestiwait what was that about Spinda holy shit
-

Spinda has that many individual possible sprites that it could have depending on where the spots are on its body, the size, and such.

Well I knew that much.
But I didn't know it was THAT much :o

Well I knew that much.
But I didn't know it was THAT much :o
Someone should put all 4,294,967,295 forms of Spinda in a giant image and send it to someone.
-
Does the game actually have that many sprites of Spinda stored or does it draw on those dots?

The dots are procedurally generated. You seriously think they'd be able to draw over four billion individual sprites?
-

Depends on how many monkeys and keyboards they have :V
-
I wonder if it's possibe to get a spinda with no dots, or just completly red
-
Dunno about spotless. But the dots are too small to get all red.
-
Are 4 billion distinguishable versions of the sprite even possible? There are 4,294,967,296 possible personality values, but the Spinda sprite only has so many pixels for that number to affect. Who's to say that the sprite a personality value of 1,352,563,698 gives you isn't exactly the same as the one for 3,294,573,388?
-
I wonder if it's possibe to get a spinda with no dots, or just completly red
I've seen spotless Spindas in-game
Never completely red ones though
-
They were spotless because the dots were hidden behind other body parts.

So I spent all day doing Pok?mon stuff
I transferred all my good Pok?mon from Pearl version, as well as some I'm going to breed, and some items
I beat the Elite Four when I was way underleveled
Gave a Lucky Egg to Dragonair, it will be a Dragonite soon
Did a bunch of stuff in Kanto, god I love the new music so much
I went and beat Misty first
wooooooo
*falls over*
-
The Trainer House in Viridian is actually a bit challenging. I didn't expect that Meganium to survive Ho-Oh's Sacred Fire at all. Though, Feraligatr's performance of just Dragon Dancing without attacking while I Bullet Punch it to death leaves a lot to be desired.
Facepalmed at a hiker's Steelix, who used Curse twice in a row and a Rock Polish after that, only giving me time to get my Fire Punches in. I guess now's the right time to drop the phrase "go take a hike."
And Elm's 8-) emoticon made me giggle for a bit.
EDIT: Whoa. Totally forgot about the Rival Battle right after you enter Mt. Moon.

So I had some Ubers battles with a friend IRL today. Aside from my Garchomp I just used Generic OU's. Flygon and Scizor Spamming U-Turn constantly and the fact half my team was using Choice Band and the other half kept trying to set-up with Dragon Dance made it hilarious. I used Gyarados, Salamence and Tyranitar for dancing and Garchomp, Flygon and Scizor with Choice Band.
-
After a break to beat Picross 3D, I have resumed playing HG. Got my Glacier badge with the aid of Magnezone <3
-
Up to Red now, with my strongest being a level 67 Dragonite, and everyone else is under lv. 50.
Let's do this. 8)
EDIT: Well, um... at least I took out Pikachu :V
-
Check this out (http://glitchcity.info/wiki/index.php/Unused_music#), it's pretty interesting!
Unused data is always nice to read about, especially in Pokemon games.
-
Speaking of music, this has to be one of the best tracks I have ever heard in a Pok?mon game (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IF3Mf1-RkLY). :* :* :*
-
I beat 2 of those Frontier Brains the first time in Platinum. I reached the Factory Head once but it's not very nice when a Kangaskhan Criticals 3 times in a Row with Outrage...
This is one of the better battle themes in my opinion. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bza9gp9oWSA&feature=related)
-
I am so in love with the Battle Frontier right now. How could I have missed out on it for so long by not getting Emerald or Platinum? =<
EDIT: Oh, thanks for reminding me that I can go catch Ho-oh now, too.
-
Okay, I've gotten my Power items ready. The only thing now is that the Goldeen and Seaking I'm training on are near Swinub's level already, so I can't really battle without losing tons of health. Does anyone know if I still get the 5 Attack EVs if I just switch out to Hooh after a turn?
-
I've never used Power Items before, so I'm not sure.
Do Pokemon gain EV points if they're switched out, period?
-

Any and all Pokemon that gain experience in battle also gain EVs.

I think if you switch them it winds up divided like EXP is. I know a Pokemon with the EXP Share equipped will also gain the same EVs as the Pokemon that actually did the fighting.
-
Every Pokemon gets the same amount of EVs. It doesn't get divded at all.
-
Now you have more time to waste on IV breeding. >:D
Oh wait, they made that easier in HG/SS.
Yeah, but you know what makes it really easy? Pok?sav.

I have an absolute 100% no tolerance policy for cheating when I play games. It sucks the fun out of the game for me.

I hope you have fun breeding for that one Pokemon with perfect IVs.
Though I can definitely agree with you to SOME extent, especially considering there are dicks who hack in 999x6 stat on some seemingly weak Pokemon and then 6-0 you flat with it. :[
I like EV grinding
I feel like I'm bonding with my pokeymans
Haha, you know what I do? I hack random encounters so I EV grind manually but I don't have to go through the tedium of going everywhere. It's so much easier that way!
-
Eh, I don't always go for perfect IVs. As long as I get the nature I want, it's good enough for me in most cases, especially since many of my strategies revolve around stat boosting anyway.
-
I don't like IVs in cartridge play. I'll go for EVs and nature, but IVs are just kinda irritating.

I breed for IVs and EV train for the reason Matsuri said. It's all a bond thing. If I cheated to get the right pokemon it just wouldn't feel right and as satisfying when you beat the tar out of everything.
it's like fathering a kid but not really

Doesn't the wi-fi thing have a legality checker or something?
Also, I hear you guys on the cheating thing, but my friends and I are always constantly trying new strategies/theme matches/etc, and I don't really have the time to train all those teams the legit way. :V We've agreed that perfect IVs/EVs are standard for the sake of convenience, so it's not really cheating.

This is why Shoddy is cool!

Oh wait, they made that easier in HG/SS.
Apparently not several people are having trouble with itfrom what i've read.

Easier as in if you equip a Power item the baby will have that stat passed on. No strings.

This means we should get one in the future at some point.

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS~
And it gets Nasty Plot too! Wonderful.
The shiny Raikou/Entei/Suicune event looks promising, too. Flare Blitz may be just what Entei needs to become a bit more useful. I think I'd want the Raikou though, since I don't have a good Electric type on my team yet, there are better Fire types, and I like Milotic more than Suicune. :P
-
But only a bit. Pure fire types still suck :moogy:

Yeah. Like I said, I want the Raikou. With Aura Sphere, it'll be able to do a nice job against Rock/Ground types that counter it. :D

I honestly can't get a whole team made on my DS. As soon as I get one or two members made I lose intrest and then plan a whole new team...
This has lead to many random Sweepers on my Gamecard and a Skarmory and Blissey...
-
I'm just raising whatever comes to mind. I've got a nifty idea made up right now, which is a novelty at worst, but could be incredible if executed right. :D
-
The shiny Raikou/Entei/Suicune event looks promising, too. Flare Blitz may be just what Entei needs to become a bit more useful. I think I'd want the Raikou though, since I don't have a good Electric type on my team yet, there are better Fire types, and I like Milotic more than Suicune. :P
Raikou is... Hmm, well I suppose it'd be okay in your team for a while.
-
I don't really intend to use it much. I don't really have much of a need for an Electric type, but it'd be nice just in case. In the long run I think a Magnezone would be best because of its stellar typing, great defense, and good Special Attack as well. However, it's slow, and I don't like slow :P
At the very least, I want the Raikou because I like my Milotic more than Suicune, and Entei...eh. Fire by itself is really vulnerable, but then again, my favorite Pok?mon has 7 weaknesses and Entei just has 3 :V
-
My Electric Type is a Metagross with Thunder Puch :V despite not beeing a Electric type...
-
Mine is simply a Togekiss with Shock Wave at the moment. It's relatively fast and has two moves that never miss, and another move with STAB and a 60% chance of flinching. This way, there's not one single type that is completely resistant to its attacks, though I'm sure there's a dual type out there that could mess that up :P
On the other hand, I could give it something like Flamethrower or Signal Beam. That could be interesting.

Magnezone has a half-decent special defense anyway (base 90), so the slow speed isn't a huge issue.
And actually it makes an awesome sweeper >_>

My teams are always based around Breloom :smug:

Yes but it's Ugly... It's like one of the few pokemon I won't touch at all dispite beeing good.
Also CG Drake It's a shame the only shiny (Not Red Gyara) I ever actually caught was A latias that I didn't really want. So I reset to try and get the right nature,
-
The strategy I thought up that I said was a novelty at worst was this, by the way:
First we start with a Vaporeon, give it Leftovers or something. EV train it for HP and Speed (or Sp. Def). Teach it kind of like this:
Baton Pass
Substitute
Acid Armor / Curse
Surf/ Yawn / Wish
Substitute, then Acid Armor or Curse. Heal as needed. Once you manage a Substitute without getting it damaged much, Baton Pass to Probopass, with EVs in Defense and Special Defense. Give it Leftovers or BrightPowder or a Chesto Berry or something.
Teach it:
Toxic
Stealth Rock / Block
Rest / Iron Defense (just to be absolutely cruel)
Rollout / Explosion / Earthquake
Ta-da. The most irritating staller ever.
This came about when I was trying to think up a way to make Shuckle not suck. Then I realized 'well, there has to be a Pok?mon with better typing, a better movepool, and really good Defense AND Special Defense'. Thus comes in Probopass. After Shuckle, it has the best simultaneous Defense and Special Defense (there are others with better Defense OR better Special Defense, but never both). It gets more HP than Shuckle, as well has higher speed, Attack, and Sp. Attack, as well as a ton of resistances and a better movepool. Vaporeon is the best HP-Substitute Baton-passer, and it can pass on even MORE Defense with Acid Armor (or Attack AND Defense with Curse, if you like. Not like Speed matters to a Probopass) to make Probopass darn near unbeatable. Sending Probopass in, start off with Toxic, then Stealth Rock or Block. A badly poisoned Pok?mon will likely be switched back, and that's where Stealth Rock comes in, to deal damage AND allow for you to use Toxic on this one, too. Using Block will make the opponent unable to switch, uselessly smacking away at a wall until it dies. Then use Rest when it comes close to dying. When you're good on health and your trap is set, use Rollout for damage at rising intervals, Earthquake if your opponent tries to be smart by switching in a poison-immune Steel type, or Explosion as a last resort. All of these are best used when Curseboosted.
*evil laugh*
-
Uh, there's nothing there to stop roar though is there? :V
/me sends in Skarmory on the Toxic. Then roars all your stats away
-

Exploding on it could work... Seeing as more and more Skarmory go for Special defence.
-
That is a possible catch. However, Probopass has the stats to function without all of the boosts-- those are just there to reinforce it. Besides, how common is Roar from anyone who isn't a Smogon lurker? :P
Besides, since I like my Leafeon too, I might give it Wish and Baton Pass as well, so I can heal Vaporeon back up and repeat the process. After killing off the Skarmory with Togekiss or something. Won't be hard, since it'll be down by 12.5% health :P
Some of the guys I know at college are gonna be so pissed. :V
-
Dumb luck critical hits would rape your staller. Also, Acid Armor Vaporeon + Blissey is better (but still dies to critical hits, physical ones at least).
-
Unless they're using a Honchkrow or Absol, I don't think that would be much of an issue. :V Not to mention that switching a Honchkrow onto Stealth Rock + Rollout is a very, very bad idea-- and really, would any critical hit coming from either of those two really make that much of a difference? Probopass is resistant to Dark (Night Slash), Normal (Slash), Ghost (Shadow Claw), and Psychic (Psycho Cut). And just to complete the Slash variant list, it's immune to Cross Poison, too. Acid Armor'd up, I don't think it would make any more than a dent. And even if it does, I can rest it off. :D
And yeah, using the strategy on a Blissey would be neat, but it doesn't have all of the resistances Probopass has-- and besides, how many people in OU will expect an NU Probopass? :P

I've had a Shuckle with 7 points off maximum DEF fall due to dumb luck criticals... off resistance :<
It doesn't necessarily have to be a Super Luck Pokemon, it just has to have a high offensive stat and it'd still be reasonably scary. I think huh what is just stating a necessary precaution.
-
I realize that, but as I edited just a few seconds ago, when buffed up to Max Defense with Acid Armor, I have a feeling that it won't have much to worry about. Of course it isn't a perfect strategy; there is no such thing!
-

Also Critical Hits ignore all stats boosts so a bit of bad luck takes this down easily BV
Hurr ninjad
-
Ah, I did forget that. :X See this is why I said it'd be a novelty at worst, there'd have to be some glaring weakness I'd miss.
At the very least Probopass has some actual attacking potential, unlike Shuckle, though-- which means if I can kill the opponent off faster than a Shuckle can, the less hits they get on me, and the less chances for Critical hits :P
-
Probopass' attack stats still aren't too great though. If you invest EVs in it's spatk then that's less for it's defenses. Shuckle has tons of support options like Encore, Knock Off, or even Accupressure. Also Probopass is 4x weak to ground and fighting while Shuckle isn't 4x weak to anything.
Also the most irritating staller is Walrien since you can't even hurt it for 32 turns :moogy:
-
When Cursed up a bit, I'm sure its stats could be pretty formidable-- much better than a maxed-out Shuckle's attack stat, I'm sure. :P
For Ground, I could always switch Rest out for Magnet Rise or something, but that would get rid of its recovery ability. Fighting would be its only 4x weakness at that point. Acupressure is a nifty move, but kind of unreliable-- it'd be a waste of a turn if a Shuckle got a Sp. Atk boost, for example. Encore is such a mean move, though xD
And doesn't Walrein depend on Hail to be a staller like that?

Yeah but we got Abomasnow for that.
Also your college friends aren't using ubers are they?
-
At the very least Probopass has some actual attacking potential, unlike Shuckle, though-- which means if I can kill the opponent off faster than a Shuckle can, the less hits they get on me, and the less chances for Critical hits :P
Shuckle's main job is to piss people off with Encore off a useless move and then Toxic to death, it was never really meant for attacking things. :< Though I guess you could pull something off with Acupressure or Power Trick!
-
They sometimes do, yeah, but they'll use something else if you ask them to.
Not like it's that big of a deal, I could train up some ubers for the occasion, as much as I don't like using them. *patiently waits for the Enigma Stone event*
Abomasnow isn't that big of a threat as far as its weaknesses go, and I can pack something to change the weather (I'm training up a Tyranitar right now, actually). Of course, you'd have to be stupid to leave a Tyranitar against a Walrein, unless you can get lucky with Stone Edge or something...

Right, like I said, it's a slower death with Shuckle, and Acupressure isn't entirely reliable. Power Trick can be devastating....once. Well, unless you used Trick Room first, too.
-

You underestimate the power of encore BV
Once you get in a good encore, you can switch in something and have a free turn to set up. Often this can be lethal if you set up with something like Belly Drum or Ninjask Substitute or even a Focus Punch or something.
Also the best moveset to use on inexperienced pokemon players is this:
Smeragle @ Focus Sash
Agility
Spore
Endeavor
Dragon Rage
Simply use moves in that order and sweep thier entire team :smug: Have a pursuit user/dark type to eliminate any ghost types and you're good to go.
Also Dragon Rage is there because it's a guarenteed finish on anything with leftovers minus Blissey and Chansey.
-
Oh dear god. That would be so annoying xD

That would be very nice for my Clefable strategy... I should keep that in mind.
-
I love to wreak havoc with that thing on non-smogon servers BV
-
I have yet to play on Shoddy, because I think I'd spend way too much time in the party builder that I'd have enough fun making up strategies that I'd never play against anyone :P
-
Use the smogon team builder!
-
Can you tweak the builds from there, or are you locked into that setup?
-
Apparently there's a rumor going on that in Pokemon BW, critical hits will no longer exist.
Calling bullshit, y/y?
-
That would mean a ton of things would have to change in transition, and Focus Energy + any crithit move would no longer be allowed to exist or work how it used to.
I second the bullshit call.
-

Of course you can change it around.

What a rumour lol of course its fake, taking crits out is like taking typing out of pokemon.

The smogon team builder is awesome because I don't need to spend effort making teams of 6 luvdiscs to troll with.

SWIFT SWIM SWIFT SWIM SWIFT SWIM

Battle items? Like X defend and that stuff? Thing is with those they still take a turn to use and Arceus can easily one shot Luvdisc with Grass Judgment :V

Honestly I don't know if luvdisc can learn anything that decrease the foe's accuracy..

Man, if Double Team wasn't banned in competitive battling, it'd be one of my favorite moves. :<
-
And Fog weather? :V
It's great having aerial ace when you forget to bring a defogger :3
Or Rayquaza :smug:
-
What move causes fog? I didn't know there was one.
-
There isn't one :]
Still Fog "exists" as a weather so :V
-
Can you tweak the builds from there, or are you locked into that setup?
You can tweak them. In fact opening and tweaking the team after downloading it is A must if you use Hidden Power on a legendary.
And Suikama I think Defog actually causes Fog Weather in battle but no one uses Defog.
Also Physical Latios/Latias is amazing and anyone who says otherwise clearly hasn't used it.
-
Isn't that because a Latios can have an insane Sp. Attack with just one Calm Mind? :V
-
It's even beter when you send in Latios and the opponet switches to something to take the expected Special hit and you Dragon Dance.
Or use Latias to sweep most of it's usual counters or checks.
Then again Latias worked better Mixed with Sucker Punch, Earthquake, Hidden Power Fire and Draco Meteor.

Nope
This move lowers the target's evasion one stage. Furthermore, it removes Reflect, Light Screen, Safeguard, and Mist set up by the target's team, and it removes Spikes, Stealth Rock, and Toxic Spikes on the target's side of the field (when your Pokemon uses an entry hazard, it is set on your opponent's side of the field). This means that targeting the enemy with Defog will remove any spikes laid by the user of Defog, but targeting the user's partner will remove any spikes set up by the enemy. The target's Mist prevents Defog's evasion reduction before being removed.
Removes the Fog weather condition, which in a competitive setting only ever occurs in the Courtyard Colosseum on PBR.
-
Why the hell would Defog remove fog? Besides, in pokemon, Fog is pretty much River Mist. Sucks ass.
-
Why the hell would Defog remove fog?
Uh... cause it's called DEfog. As in it removes fog?
-
er sorry meant "creates fog"
-
er sorry meant "creates fog"
:getdown:
Man I hope they don't make a pokemon in B/W who's ability creates INFINITE FOG
-
All right, I think I've got a team set up now. Anyone want to kick my ass on Shoddy tonight? :ohdear:
-
Meh I might be up for it beats trying to catch stuff in Touhoumon.
-
Well I'm in the Smogon server right now as MatsuriSakuragi. If you can play now, that is.
-
Bleh resetting a savestate 30 times to catch an Aya is boring guess i'll get on.
-
If you could spam battle items 6 Luvdisc can even beat 6 Arceus.
Seriously.
This is possible. Lead luvdisc has to have focus sash and has to freeze on icebeam. Rain dance, X speed, X special and hope your opponent doesn' switch out or defrost.
Also lolwat I saw Sukima on touhoumon.
-
Have Sana use the team Ice beam will freeze. :V
Also I sent a PM Explaining to you Matsuri Smogon University is overflowing atm.

;____;
Poor Magnezone. Ah well, he'll be trapping steels in heaven. (Also you would have been dead if that Heatwave from Zapdos hit)
ggs people. Only played against Rikter (1 win) and Matsuri (1 win), but it was fun. Pretty fond of my new team, though Magnezone is kinda iffy so far. Should probably replace Charge Beam.
-
My Jirachi and Celebi do their jobs well, but I'm starting to think I should leave my Probopass strategy for pissing off not-as-competitive players. :V
-
yep
I lost to Matsuri game 1 because HEAD SMASH MISSED WHEN I WANTED IT TO HIT
and then a clean 6-0 sweep because.
2nd game was more tolerable, but I still found it gay flinchax activated on me so damn often it wasn't even funny.
Luck based losses are bullshit, but I'm happy to be able to face off against OU teams without getting completely OWNED provided luck doesn't shit in my face.

I'll need to make a new team soon simply because my current one has no element of suprise against Rizock.
We've battled each other to many times with litle change to our teams so we know them to well...

He was awesome in the previous gen

He's actually UU and a fine Pokemon within that tier. Also Tauros is fairly interesting to use and i've not been to dissapointed with him the few times i've used him. I never make a team using less than 2 pokemon I actually like.

/me bullet punches huh what
-
My favourite pokemon is Luvdisc
-
I'm sorry but with HGSS giving Luvdisc Aqua Jet it might Skyrocket in usage soon.
-
i find it sad that the most progress i had with battling matsuri was my fuckign UU rain dance team =___=
-
I actually can't decide on what I want to even use on my new team seeing as I vowed to not use Metagross. I relied on it way to much on the teams I made using one.
-
/me bullet punches huh what
/me false swipes Suikama
-
Scizor is overpowered; nothing beats it totally at all. Magnezone or Heatran = Superpower; Rotom = Pursuit; Anything = U-turn to counter
-
More than half of them use Choice Band though if they use Bullet Punch right of the bat (Which happens alot) Magnezone can get it easily.
Also Scarf Rotom can take on Scizor should Scizor switch into TBolt to attempt Pursuit.
-
Pretty sure a Scarf'd Infernape using Overheat or Fire Blast could make quick work of Scizor. :P
-
UU rain dance team =___=
Wait, it worked?
Huh
-
Wait, it worked?
Kinda. ^^; All hell kinda broke loose when I started using Thunderpunch though.
-
Until you find out what the 6 pokemon on your opponent's them are, it is highly recommended that Scizor constantly use U-turn. To create such a case, I usually try switch Scizor in on a move it resists, which is why I try to make the weaknesses of my team resisted by Scizor.
Although Stealth Rock and losing hp over time is a case I'm having trouble with... I think anything that learns Rapid Spin is countered by Rotom, which causes dealing with stealth rock to be pretty difficult.
-
I actually feel blissey is more Uber than Scizor. Apparently All special attackers isn't a wide portion of the game though.
-
isn't blissey a bit less useful now that types aren't fixed?
-
I've never played the older games seriously but Blissey still walls the whole Special Spectrum (It even takes Aura Sphere well) save for some nearly impossible to use Porygon-Z set.
-
Any CB physical pursuiter can come in and deal a ton of damage.
-
Celebi, Togekiss, and Jirachi are my favorites. :3
Does anyone here own a shiny Darkrai? :3
-
Yeah so last night lgb successfully received Smiles. I think I'd like to try this with a few more people this time, so I was wondering if some people want to get in a small group and get a free pokemon.
-
Made my first attempt at the E4 this morning.
Swept Will, swept Koga, swept Bruno, got Houndoom footprints all up and down my team. X_X
-
Do recall that fighting is super-effective against dark. It also has an iffy 50 base defense, so try to take advantage of that.

also Jynx was uber vs Lance

Can't really say. I think it's a bit easier, but I'm not sure how much of that is actually being easier versus me just being better at the games.
-
how much is it harder than normal G/S?
As a whole Gym Leaders/Rival/Elite 4 battles are generally harder. The Kimono Sisters are much more difficult. The random encounter rate is higher but normal traniers are about the same.

Because you're a troll? :V

1. Start up your game. Instead of continuing, scroll down to your WiFi settings.
2. Edit an already existing connection.
3. Where it says "Auto-connect to DNS", select No.
4. Set your primary DNS to 24.77.253.232.
5. Save those settings, continue your game and head to the GTS.
6. Make sure you have six pokemon in your party, then connect to the GTS as usual.
7. ???
8. Press A when the error pops up. Continue your game.
9. Check your PC box.
10. Save and switch DNS back to auto-connect. Otherwise you can't use any other wifi shit.
-
Wait, what?
What is this?
EDIT: Nothing happens to what happened when I had 6 in my party. When I had 5, however...
Very clever.
-
It seems three have been given. Has anyone else gotten any or does Matsuri have three Pikachu? :V
-
That's just the thing. The first two times I tried, I never actually got it.
The third time, I deposited one and had only 5 in my party. Chuchu get.
So technically I guess I got 3, 2 of them are MIA though.
Can you explain how all of this works? :V
-
People figured out how the GTS server works. You create a fake server from your own DNS, send the fake GTS info and people get pokemon rained down on them.
Are you using D/P/P? I should have mentioned that there could be automatic disconnect problems when using those.
-
Oh, I was using my Pearl version. I had already sent over all of my good Pokemon to SS, so I was more willing to fuck with things when I didn't know how they worked :V
So technically, I can get the event Pok?mon I missed this way? :V
-
Yeah pretty much. You'll have to ask tomorrow or something though. Or figure it out yourself.
-
I'll just ask tomorrow, since I'm going to be off soon, myself :V

Oh wow
-
Putting up a Dusknoir while I study. Same dealio.
-
Nifty. Will get eventually :V
-
Holy crap this seems ridiculously abusable. :V
-
It is. Only thing is that you always have the "supposedly" thing when you receive it, because it was uh well, received.
-
No kidding. Once I learn how to do this I may distribute something myself :3
-
I'm just going to use my two DSs and flash cart to edit pokemon I want into my Platinum savefile and transfer it to HeartGold :V
-
Dusknoir get.
Mind teaching me how to do this, Drake?
-
Yeah, it might take a bit so I'll write it down later.
Togekiss' turn now.
-
Oh, ok
Grabbin' that Togekiss now, even though I already have a very good one :derp:
-
Are these legal movesets and everything?
Never messed with these much, though I got a Gamestop Jirachi through this trick. Hasty nature and low IVs though :(.
-
speaking of legal movesets
that's one bitchin' Gyarados (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rxb3NXIA9oo)
-
Legal in all aspects. I wouldn't give out stupidly cheated pokemon :x
EDIT: Even the Pikachu was legal.
-
Smiles are always a great gift.
Then, are these pretty much cloned off pokemans from your actual game?
-
Togekiss is a copy, Dusknoir and Pikachu have slightly better stats than mine in some areas. Dusknoir was from Diamond, as well.
-
Anyone got any event Pok?mon they wanna broadcast? :3
-
speaking of legal movesets
that's one bitchin' Gyarados (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rxb3NXIA9oo)
I wish I had a SD Gyarados...
-
TRU Shaymin up.
-
This is brilliant. Thanks o/
-
It's nice to be able to get these events I missed.
Also, grabbed 3 Shaymins. 1 for myself and 2 for the other people that play Pokemon where I'm at if they want them.
-
It worked and I didn't even get an error :3
-
Yeah, I never got one either, outside of nothing happening when I have 6 in my party. :3
[i've been taking extras as well just because I like extras :V]
-
If you have a team of six, when you log on, click "summary" and then you get it
-
Yeah, but I don't know where it goes from there. I checked my boxes and everything.
-
They went to BOX1 for me.
Also any ideas of the IV's on these buggers? :3
-
Ah. My BOX1 is full. Maybe that's why?
-
Ah. My BOX1 is full. Maybe that's why?
I tried filling my box one, but then they went to box 2 so...
-
For you primary DNS, is it just your own ip?
If so then I could use this to clone my pokemon no sweat :derp:
-
Ohhhh, I see them in BOX2 now. They were hiding :V
-
Last for today. This is my Breloom, Amanita.
Instructions. (http://www.shrinemaiden.org/forum/index.php?topic=3902.msg315843#msg315843)
-
Breloom
:* :* :* :* :* :* :* :*
-
Amanita get :D
-
Breloom is best used for fast teams as it cripples anything slower than it. The type coverage AND its types isn't that great either, but it is a very hard hitting pokemon.
-
Holy crap.
I went into the Elite Four with a team of Furret, Delibird (lolwut), Meganium, Ampharos, Quagsire, and Xatu. None of whom honestly have that great of movesets, none of whom were EV trained... and beat the Elite Four/Lance.
Final levels were 36, 37, 40, 40, 42, 42. That's it. When -starting- the level range was about 32-38.
I went through about 20 Revives, 3 Max Revives, at least 5 PP recovery items (including a couple Elixirs), and a boatload of healing items (including a dozen Milks and about 20 Hyper Potions).
I kicked Lance's ass with a Delibird. A goddamn Delibird with Attract and Blizzard that was 14 levels below his Dragonites. And it was ONESHOTTING THEM.
I have now felt an honestly epic Pokemon moment.
-
Good job! You felt the satisfaction you would've felt if you were to clear Kaizo Pokemon's 1st gym.
-
Beat my epic pokeman moment when I was 10.
yellow, vs Gary, had only a blastoise and a few garbage pokemans left
final Ice Beam I had, final move I had too
Jolteon is frozen
Struggle killed Blastoise
next 5 minutes were a lv15 Psyduck scratching a frozen Jolteon to death.
thank god Freeze lasted an eternity in the first gen(just as broken as Slash or Karate Chop)
-
Breloom is best used for fast teams as it cripples anything slower than it. The type coverage AND its types isn't that great either, but it is a very hard hitting pokemon.
If it has Poison Heal and a Toxic Orb though, it'll heal 1/8 max HP each turn and be immune to the major status effects, though! That's a plus.
-
Now let's talk about Togetic. Who can find any good use for this little fly? :|
Also something somewhat related.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xau6kcxyOLs&feature=player_embedded (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xau6kcxyOLs&feature=player_embedded)
-
It's called a 'Shiny Stone', and it makes Togetic one of the best Pok?mon in the game. :V
-
Serious? Haven't touched Togetic in awhile, so I wouldn't know much.
-
Yep. (http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Togekiss_%28Pok%C3%A9mon%29)
-
:|
Well, seems like I forgot this one. Not that I ever concidered it to be any good either.
I'm so awesome that I use Pachirisu! It's too cute. :V
-
Togekiss is fantastic. Superhigh Sp.Atk, Sp.Def, and decent HP, Def., and Speed? With a STAB move that has a 60% chance of flinching? With two HP recovery options? I love it.
@Drake: I just tested Amanita out in a battle against my brother.
He's very mad at me right now.
...
Mission accomplished. :smug:
He's always whining that I use all of my super strong ones against him, so I battled him with a party I had done absolutely nothing with-- namely, stuff I got from Drake :V
-
I don't think Amantia even has a single IV that's 31 :V
-
I don't care. The strategy is excellent. Sleep, Sub, Leech, Punch. You heal even more with Toxic Orb. :D
-
Breloom was one of the Pokemon that I was highly impressed by when I read Smogon's analysis for it.
The simple SubPunch set was litterally all I had to read to convince me to raise one.
That Breloom later went on to fight against a Kyogre successfully.
-
Also something somewhat related.

If I make my own, I think I might switch Focus Punch for Seed Bomb or something. You still get STAB physical damage, only more than once every two turns. Then again, that would make it useless against fire or fighting types. On the other hand, Focus Punch is pretty useless on Psychic types.
Dilemma.
-
I remember the old days of RSE, when I ran that set and added hidden power ghost just to fuck with gengar :]
-
My god people on Smogon whine a whole fucking lot in Shoddy.
You guys already restrict the hell out of the game by reducing it to tiers, adding a shitload of clauses, banning items, banning move combinations, and yet they still all bitch and moan when I use Jirachi, Togekiss, or Breloom.
Dragonite's a simple counter to 'flinchax', Jirachi, and Togekiss with its Inner Focus, Earthquake, and any number of moves to kill off a flying type. Use it. Wanna kill off Breloom? Use a STAB Aerial Ace. No one whines about Rain Dance or Hail teams, and they're annoying as hell.
God, yet another game loses all of its fun when people whine about every aspect of it.
-
@Drake: I just tested Amanita out in a battle against my brother.

Success~ \o/
Amanita has no perfect IVs. It does have 30 in Attack after like five days of breeding :x
Seed Bomb is a good choice, anyways. Has less coverage though, and you'll pretty much always have an opening once you get started. If they wake up they hit the sub, Punch still gets off and you just Spore again. Do note that Punch doesn't actually take two turns; it shows the POWERUP message first, while the attack is just priority -3.
Also, Shoddy's userbase is more or less akin to that of SSB's.

Huh. I always thought it was a two-turn move. Neat-o.
Still, Poison Heal + Leech Seed + Substitute = yeah you aren't killing me anytime soon <3333333333333333333

Gimme time to do some trainin'. It'd be nice to play against someone who can be a good sport. :3

tbh I do a lot of CAPS LOCK DIE DIE DIE when playing video games, but I never mean it :3
Also we are Breloom buddies BV
-
Breloom is OMGWHATWHYUSOGOOD
but i prefer jumpluff cause jumpluff is kawaii
-
Jumpluff is underrated, especially in SubSeed mode.
Breloom is cute too though :3
-
Breloom can be pretty difficult to switch in though... and I've used Breloom since gen 3. This probably stands probably as Breloom's biggest problem. So stuff that baits earthquake and resists flying, fire and ice are good partners for Breloom. Heatran is a good candidate.
and concerning anything about people whining: just ignore them lol
-
Eh, I was just frustrated last night.
I had my Espeon out against someone who used Explosion, and it missed. He asked how it missed, and I said it had Brightpowder. That led him on a 15-minute long tirade over how that item is banned and how I was cheating and so on and so forth and how that was so fucking cheap and waaaaaaaaah. Then he switched in a stealth rock + spikes + whirlwind Skarmory and proceeded to blow me around until the game was over. Cheap, huh. :/
-
Why Brightpowder?
-
I don't know. I didn't even know it was banned. He ran out into the chat room and started asking if it was banned or not, and people said no. I was just using it on Espeon in case someone used the Item Clause, so I wasn't using Leftovers again.
Sleep clause, freeze clause, soul dew clause-- I understand all of those, but some of them are just petty and stupid and suck the fun right out of the game. :/
-
The only clauses I play are the ones you listed along with Battle Timeout and species clause. Brightpowder isn't really that reliable of an item though...
-
It was more experimental than anything.
It's using Leftovers now, because I thought it really was banned. :x
-
Item clause is dumb in every way.
Sleep clause however stops Breloom from being a broken beast :3. Or even worse, Smergle.
Also I took a look at my old buddies in Pearl and man most of thier movesets are outdated. Move tutor time~
-
I have to move many of my Pok?mon from Pearl back to Pearl from HG/SS because the Move Tutor there sucks.
Seriously, no Ice Punch or Iron Head for Jirachi? Lame.
(yes, Ice Punch is a perfect counter for Dragonite, should someone wise up and actually get smart instead of bitch about my strategies. :P)
-
Sleep clause, freeze clause, soul dew clause-- I understand all of those, but some of them are just petty and stupid and suck the fun right out of the game. :/
ban garchomp, ban sandslash, ban cacturne
ban ancientpower because it can raise evasion
Run a Double Team party and troll the fuck out of these tourneyfags
wait shoddy actually has Evasion Clause as a setting
"shoddy" battle indeed
I think Nintendo put in stuff like Foresight for a fucking reason
-
Let's not forget that there are a ton of guaranteed hit moves.
And even then, there's always Mean Look + Perish Song.
People are whiners.
-
back when netbattle was cool, using Aerial Ace instead of HP Flying surprised those Ninjasks :V
-
OHKO clause is understandable. Sleep Clause is there because otherwise it'd be broken as hell. I could understand Freeze clause in R/B/Y, but after that, it's not even broken.
Evasion just isn't fun.
But tourney***s as they're called ruined Smash, they ruined Pokemon partly, they ruined lots of other stuff as well.
Oh, and Nintendo put in Foresight, but it's a 100 accuracy move and not an always hit. Which means before Foresight will even work, you have to get past their evasion mods first. Of course that was fixed in 4th gen, but it still applies to every other gen.
Mean Look does have to get through Evasion, according to Serebii's Attackdex at least it shows as 100 accuracy. And I don't know enough about OHKO Clause for if Perish Song applies.
Barely played any NetBattle way back, thought it was bad.
Also, isn't Net/Shoddy Battle technically illegal?
-
Hey competitive Melee is fun :derp:
Also Matsuri hates fire :3
-
Doesn't Haze go through evasion? And can't you copy it with Psych Up?
Also, doesn't Perish force a switch either way?
-
Doesn't Haze go through evasion? And can't you copy it with Psych Up?

If they don't wanna die, it forces a switch,
As for evasion shit, there are tons of moves that hit regardless of accuracy or evasion now. It isn't limited to Swift anymore.
Also Matsuri hates fire :3
Your scarfed Heatran is a whore. HAX
-
I wasn't expecting it to 2HKO even your Togekiss, but hey
Muhahahahahaha :]
-
Then isn't Dragon Dance equally broken?
DT is countered in many ways, but even when he gets max evasion, he doesn't get to outspeed AND one hit whatever comes out. One lucky super effective move takes a DTer down, DD will crush everything.
of course, competitive playing shouldn't include any luck and the players should rank according to skill
then why have a fucking tourney
also, technician+100% hit skill=100% 90 damage
I haven't ever touched DPPT and I can come up with evasion counters
-
Normal Team > Antievasion Team> Evasion Team> Normal Team
Do you really want all matches to be like that?
-
So yeah about that Heatran counter
:derp:

All right o/
Thanks
I also came across someone on Shoddy with pretty much the same Pok?mon and the same strategies.
It was pretty cool.
My last was Jirachi.
His last was Milotic.
He kept Resting.
I kept Thunderpunching.
This went on for nearly 10 minutes until I got a crithit. :P

ban garchomp
*pokes head in*
Garchomp got bumped up to Uber a while back, actually...
I don't think evasion hax had anything to do with it, though.
-
Garchomp got banned because there isn't any pokemon in OU that can counter it.
-
Garchomp got banned because there isn't any pokemon in OU that can counter it.
Garchomp is still a beast in Ubers, too, since it hits the weaker Uber defense (Physical defense) and has some methods to keep its survivability up in the special department.
-
I like using Garchomp against friends who don't know Garchomp is ussually banned. Also Latias likely could handle Garchomp but there is the Sand Veil problem and Latias might go uber anyways.
-
god did everyone just stop playing pokemon or

What's your team? I've found that HGSS is really unforgiving in terms of levels, since you don't have enough trainers in Johto to raise a decent full-leveled team. As lame as it sounds, you may want to focus your energy on raising or trading for a lvl 50-60 powerhouse that you can fall back on when you're short on advantageous type match-ups.

A level 55 Tyranitar makes most of the elite 4 loleasy.
I regret nothing for leveling a Pupitar that high before even attempting the elite 4.

Ha ha, old chap! Umbreon moved up to OU.
Guess it won't be there very long.
-
I decided to say fuck it and break my no ubers rule and use my stupid lv100 TRU event arceus and completely decimated Lance.
Now I'm doing pretty good in Kanto, and starting to build my stupid theme team
Is there any real order to Kanto or do you just go around doing whatever? and how do I get the train ticket?
-
Went through the last...six or so pages and I didn't see anything involving actual trades, so sorry if there's an appropriate thread elsewhere or everyone already has everything. Dropped out of the Pok?mon loop since G/S/C until HeartGold was picked up so I'm looking to expand on my collection. If it's from Hoenn or Sinnoh or a SoulSilver exclusive then I'm probably in need of it. That being said, I'm particularly interested in the following:
-Lake trio (Uxie, Mesprit, Azelf)
- Preferably untouched since their capture.
- Must not be contained in a Net, Nest, or Dusk ball.
- OT name should be appropriate. Nothing strict, but I don't want a name like 'iiiiiii' to go with them.
- Please rename them to their English names.
-Glaceon
- I will supply the Eevee.
- It does not matter which pokemon is defeated for the experience, but please defeat only one. Just in case, please report the name of the pokemon defeated when transferring Glaceon back.
-Leafeon
- Same as the above, but I'll be supplying a total of two Eevee because I can't decide on what gender it should be.
-SoulSilver exclusives Lileep / Cradily, Delibird, and Groudon
-Qualot Berry
-Tamato Berry
-Pok?rus
I'm looking for borrow an Arceus to trigger the Sinjoh Ruins event. Unfortunately, I doubt there's anything I have capable of serving as collateral so it'll have to come down to trust.
Offers
Not sure where to start for offers, but if the pokemon can be found in HeartGold then I probably have it. However, it's safe to assume that I don't have any pokemon found in the safari that won't appear until several weeks in, especially not the Salamence line (but I do plenty of Gible laying around that know Outrage).
-Eevee of every nature except for Calm, Careful, Hardy, and Quirky. I also have two dozen or so that know the move Wish.
-Six female Eevee available (Bold, Careful, Naughty, Relaxed, Serious).
-All HeartGold / SoulSilver swarm pokemon except for Snubbull and Quilfish.
-All three Kanto starters.
-Chikorita and Totodile evolutionary line.
-Spiritomb, Snorunt line.
The following Legendaries are untouched:
- Raikou (Rash)
- Entei (Timid)
- Suicune (Relaxed)
- Moltres (Hasty)
- Latias (Hasty)
- Mewtwo (Quirky)
And for the ones that aren't:
- Ho-oh (Lv. 100 (Hasty), EV distribution unknown)
- Articuno (Lv. 57 (Jolly), EV distribution unknown)
- Zapdos (3K exp. into Lv. 50 (Mild), EV distribution unknown)
As for Lugia, I haven't bothered to capture it yet and only just learned of the other use for Synchronize. So its nature is up in the air and to your choosing.
-Every evolutionary stone.
-Every evolution-inducing held item except for the DeepSeaScale, DeepSeaTooth, Razor Fang, and Razor Claw.
-Every incense (probably doesn't matter).
-A dozen lucky eggs.
-Master Ball (as if anyone would want it).
PMs appreciated, if just to ask for specific stats or the ball the pokemon was captured in. Sorry if I missed any certain protocol or etiquette; this is my first attempt for conducting personal trades.

Yeah, I don't like the Johto starters. Deal with it.

Really, really hate how much the Battle Frontier move tutors cost. 64 BP for Ice Punch? You're telling me that I have to grind for a week at least for ONE MOVE?
-
The 64BP for Pain Split wasn't that bad. Two Palmers (one failed) and an Argenta was more than enough.
-
Ehh Factory's actually fun and it's much better than digging for Shards underground.
-
I like digging :V
-
Actually I love digging underground as well. I just wish they could have fleshed it out a bit more, more items, given bigger access to social stuff like worldwide Wi-Fi underground parties, etc.
-
Going underground could have potentially been awesome, but after a while I just used it as a method to get Heart Scales. :<

I have horrible luck getting Heart Scales...
Don't think I've got a single one underground yet. Is there a trick or something that I'm missing besides just going to the walls and smacking them hoping it has a Heart Scale?
-
Nope, that's pretty much it. Just get lucky.
-
Well it helps if you have a high success rate of getting everything out of the wall before it breaks :3
-
Strange I always got plently.
For avid diggers:
Bury spheres in gardens that cover paths
This ups the chance of digging spots on the walls.
I do this with my undergorund base and it always has plenty of digging spots.
-
so, pokemans
I tried EV-training for the first time the other day. Fought Unowns for about a half hour.
I had never cared about it because I don't really need it
and then I saw my Typhlosion had gone up by 18 in both Attack and Sp. Attack with one level up.
Holy shit. This is so easy to abuse.
-
EV training at a high base level without proper, prior training can lead to... interesting results, yeah.
I got a +10 SPD boost once...
-
EV training my Mewtwo, +50 to Sp atk and Speed when it leveled up 8)
-
what the hell was it like level 92 at the time or what
-
Yep :V
-
I got two boosts of 10 speed in a row on the first pokemon I EV Trained.

Fire/Dark starter is awesome and will be my pick.
Grass/Fighting starter is decent.
Water/Psychic starter looks like the retarded offspring of a retarded Mr. Mime and a retarded Bidoof.
EDIT: Added alleged secondary types. Do appreciate that they gave a dark-fighting-psychic triangle to oppose the fire-grass-water one.
-
If there's a Psychic type with any of them, that'll be my pick. :*
-
Finally a fire pig
I've been waiting for this
the grass one looks best but I'll decide on the evolved forms..
You know...the water one does look like a bidoof on it's hind legs and recolored.
-
It's going to be a toss-up for me between the Grass and Fire starter once again. I don't know why the Water starters never really appeal to me.
-
Hah Starters i'm going to cheat right from the start and use a Beldum as my starter :V
Also why is a team I made in 5 minutes doing much better than my teams I pit thought into...
-
it's probably definitely grass for me...
apparently the rumored japanese name means ivy snake....
finally i have an excuse to name a pokemon kanako...
now they have to make a groud type frog pokemon and everything will fall into place.

Well, Politoed learns Earthquake by TM so that semi-works...
-
But I need a competitive reason to use politoed...and there's only so many earthquake TM's
-
hax in eq tms / get someone to -> trade to you
-
Meh I'll have at least two...
I just need to make said politoed competitive and things will be set.

Encore could help for forcing switches.
-
I like the Wotter, it is so cute
-
if a snowball head and a blank expression can be considered cute then yes...
heck I'd almost call it cirno but it doesn't have wings and a safespot right in front of it so yeah

Guess I need to retool a bit of it.

It only took them until 2010 to give pokemon idle animations!!!
(also lol at everyone going HOLY SHIT FUCK ZOROARK I DON'T EVEN WHAT THE SHIT IS THIS JESUS CHRIST AAAA)
-
This is really, really neat. :D
-
in onother clip you can see random NPCs in buisness man garb running up and down the street, moveing to avoid the player, with text bubbles popping up.
It looks really nifty
Also as someone on /v/ said DAT RAIKOU'S MOVEING ASS
-
And So Zarowak (or however it's spelt) became a Gimmick Pokemon :V
-
Aaaa~ oh my gosh, I just cought a legit shiny Nidorina!
I feel so special :3
-
so I finally found leafgreen for a halfway decent price
should I get y/n
-
if you have a DS, save for the newer gens
if not, get a DS already
but I wouldn't get a gen 3 game when gen 5 is already being produced
-

If you REALLY liked Red/Blue, it's a fairly decent updated remake.
Otherwise, pretty much all the Pok?mon you could catch in that are available in HG/SS (except for maybe Deoxys, but good luck getting one of those anyway)

I've never owned any pokemon game though :V

My friend Tamad went to VGC without having participated in any tournament before. Some stuff happened, and he ended up actually making it to the finals before being screwed over by Lady Luck and a resourceful opponent. Came out with a new DSi, an invitation to the nationals and 300 bucks to get there. I found it a very nice read.

I'd say its an okay entry point it replecates the 1st gen experience accurately.

Mainly a bump for the trading list (http://www.shrinemaiden.org/forum/index.php?topic=3902.msg334930#msg334930) which is slightly updated and still has too many standards, but I'll put up some stuff with this post.
I might have enjoyed Voltorb Flip a little more if it wasn't the only source of coins in this game. So you can give a little bit of thought to it to better your chances, but that doesn't stop it from being a drag. After around seven cumulative hours I was able to finish the sixth level. Of course, I had to fail the first flip on level seven.

More recently last night, I turned on the DS to water my berry plants before going to sleep. I realized that out of the daily events I hadn't been visiting the Lucky Number Show lately. It was a nice surprise.
