Garchomp is faster and EQ is SE on Luke' date=' what's not to believe?

[/quote']

I know, But still... Usually when I had used Earthquake it would do like half of thare HP(and this on a super-effective hit >___>)

 

Impressive' date=' I assume you spammed Items.

[/quote']

^Which is what I did^

 

Still cool though. I like the fact Quagsire was your strongest.

Quagsire is pretty good. Plus, It makes for an annoying Pokemon.

 

Now the only thing I have left, Is to find just a few Pokemon before I can get the National Dex.

I just need to see and/or catch:

#96 Hapiny

#170 Glacion

#197 Elekid

#203 Swinub

 

And the Psychic-Trio(but that will be easy)

 

So guys, Any ideas on whare I may find said Pokemon? O,o

[Zeroshot]

Swinub can be found near Snowpoint City

[~Emo~]

Your screwed with glacion because the only way to see it is to trade of evolve from evee.

Battle trainers. Find any you haven't battled yet. More than likely you'll see the desired Pokemon.

First of all' date=' the way to evolve an Eevee into a Glaceon is to level it up near a certain rock near Snowpoint City.[/s'] Furthermore, a trainer not too far from Snowpoint has a Glaceon on their team.

He has seen Leafeon though meaning he has it.

[Toffee.]

*Somewaht figured it would be those trainers by Snowpoint, Considering I relatively skipped most of them XP*

 

Still... How would I get a Hapiny?

 

and Elekid is beyond me, Since I dont think I have Leaf Green

[TrickyPooBoy]

Breed Chansey with a Ditto. Or, catch a Happiny in the wild...

 

Have you gotten the Villa yet? I bought everything there I could, credit to the Rich people near Pastoria XD

 

And of course, no one cares of my Shiny lv100 Crobat or my Shiny Golem lv41... that I found at the Route next to the Survival Area, training my Lucario.

[Toffee.]

I cant get a Ditto, Until I get the National Dex.

 

And I have appearently resorted to trying to breed Electabuzz' to get an Elekid ._.

 

And I still have no idea how I am going to find a Happiny- Wait... I could just trade the missing ones, From my Diamond verson >_____________>

 

Still.... I wish I could find my Saphire verson, Since I wanted to trade my Kyogre to this game :<

[Toffee.]

I'm double posting. So what.

 

My other game is bieng stupid, And isnt working the whole way.... So thare goes that option.

 

So for another idea, Anyone care to trade for an Elekid and/or Happiny?

(I'll even trade back right away, If you only have 1)

Scratch that, Even my Internet is bieng stupid. So I'm pretty mutch doomed :<

Battle every trainer you see.

 

I think some Breeders near the area above Solaceon Town have Happiny and Elekid. Try looking everywhere for them.

[Toffee.]

.........Sure

[~Emo~]

How does one catch the 3 little poke things easily?

[Toffee.]

The Psychic Trio?

I have 2 of the 3 so far. The 3rd bieng the one you have to 'catch'. So its going to be annoying' date=' Since I need to get a Haunter, and level it up :/

(its knows [i']BOTH[/i] Mean Look and Hypnosis)

I lost my patience with the Psychic Trio. The first one I wasted every pokemon I had on it.

The second, I threw 1 quick ball at it. Got pissed when it didn't work and slaughtered it.

Still chasing the 3rd.

[Saturn of Elemia]

When I fought Uxie and Azelf, I had my Luxray lead the assault and use Thunder Fang (hoping the resulting attack would paralyze). When it did, I'd just keep reducing the Pokemon's HP until it was in the red. Afterwards, I'd keep throwing Ultra Balls until the Pokemon got caught.

 

As for Mesprit, I'm still working on catching him - and the 3 birds and Cresselia. Gonna go out and get a Wobbufet and use its ability to make sure they cannot run from me.

[Toffee.]

Honestly, The 1st one(the yellow one) was the easiest. The 2nd was annoying. And the 3rd decided to wants to "play a game of chase" >___>

 

Also, I found those remaining Pokemon. Thanks guys, For the help :3

 

And I find it funny, The first Pokemon I find.. is a Raticate. And I had wanted to level one up since the beginning.(This one was a freakin' level50!)

 

Anyway... I just need to get to Tony Stark Mountain. Since Ima try and level my guys up to around 70(.....or at least get close)

[Felix]

Gonna go out and get a Wobbufet and use its ability to make sure they cannot run from me.

 

There are better Taggers out there. Use a Pokemon with Mean look. The most awesome option would be Umbreon with Mean Look and Batton Pass. That way you can Mean Look then Pass it to use which ever Pokemon you want in order to get it to the red. Your best bet it to use something with False Swipe and a status move.

Its a good stratagy, But I'm just going to be lazy with it.

[Tekken Ham]

Which would be a better build for Rotom-H in Platinum for Wi-Fi?

 

Should I use Trick on a Choice Scarfed modest Rotom?

252 SpAtk/ 252 Spd/ 4 HP

 

Or a bulky Rotom to counter Scizor and Gyarados?

Bold@Leftovers

252 HP/ 142 Def/ 116 Spd

 

Or a Double Screener?

[Flame Dragon]

All 3 are good sets, but it reall comes down to what you need. If your team is weak to Scizor and Gyarados, go bulky. If your team needs screen support go screener. If you need good Ghost and Electric STAB go sweeper.

 

For the scarf sweeper you don't need to max out speed. At 104 EVs with the scarf and a Modest nature you'll out speed all base 110 pokemon, which include Latias, Gengar, and Infernape. The next number to go for yould be 136 EVs in speed for base 115 which includes Azelf, Ambipom, Starmie. After that I say the last big number to go for is 120 base so you'll need 164 EVs to out speed Alakazam. I say go for the base 110 since the only pokemon their that you would care about are Starmie and Azelf and you should be able to kill them with no less then 2 hits.

I think mostly my team is weak to Scizor, without Rotom I don't really have a safe switch in. I also don't have screen support on the team, but it doesn't seem like that's necessary.

 

At a glance the Wi-Fi team I'm going for is:

 

Flygon @ Choice Scarf/Life Orb

 

Revenge Killing/Physical Sweeping, also leads to scout things out with U-Turn.

 

Porygon Z @ Choice Specs

Download

Download gives me somewhat of a set-up, to the point where Specs and it's massive, Modest boosted Sp. Atk takes care of threats.

 

Tangrowth @ Leftovers

Chlorophyll

Double Powder set with Knock Off for more disruption. Weak to things that are weak to SR, and weak to Scizor.

 

Snorlax @ Leftovers

Thick Fat

Rest-Talker set with Body Slam and Fire Blast. Covers 2 of Tangrowths weaknesses with Thick Fat

 

Swampert @ Leftovers

 

Phazer and SR support for Tangrowth. Generic Mixpert otherwise.

 

And I'm thinking of Rotom-H for the last slot, but at a glance it looks like I'm weak to the generic CB Scizor or a Gyarados with Ice Fang (if PGZ is gone).

 

Scizor can sweep my entire team with an SD set, and I don't have a counter for CB or SD Scizor. Tangrowth gets nommed by a X-Scissor or U-Turn, and Snorlax won't live a Superpower to hit it with Fire Blast. Porygon Z doesn't have anything on it's set for Scizor outside of maybe Thunderbolt for neutral damage. But it also dies to Superpower.

 

Screen Support could also help, seeing as I don't have the best of walls (as I want to try a different approach to walling), Reflect will definitely up the longevity of Snorlax, and it makes Tangrowth a bigger wall of tentacle rape.

 

Also, what is a good set for Double Screen?

[TrickyPooBoy]

Arrrgh! I'm trying to get a Lucky Egg :p

 

I think I posted here before...

 

lv100 Lucario

 

lv100 Infernape

 

lv100 Shiny Crobat

 

lv100 Heracross

 

lv100 Charizard

 

lv65 Tyranitar

 

 

I also got a Shiny Graveler the other day! :D

Also, what is a good set for Double Screen?

name: Double Status

move 1: Discharge

move 2: Will-O-Wisp

move 3: Hydro Pump

move 4: Shadow Ball / Light Screen

item: Leftovers

nature: Bold

EVs: 252 HP / 168 Def / 88 Spe

This set is better used by Washer since his special move can dent T-Tar.

 

As for the team Rotom would make the best adition.

 

Tangrowth is a cool pokemon but with so many weakness it can be hard to keep alive. I say drop him for Skarmory. He can take physical attacks like a simple slap and can roost of damage. His weakness are covered by your other pokemon. If you still want a sleep I think the second pokemon is most helpful.

Drop Z for Breloom. Z is a very powerful special sweeper but as mediocre defenses. An a CB Bullet Punch runs a good chance of killing it. More so with Sword Dance. While Breloom also has this problem he was a 100% sleep move and given the right speed and nature can out speed max speed, neutral nature base 80 pokemon, of which their are many.

 

If you really want to use Z go for Scarf since with out it many pokemon will out speed and kill you.

 

Other change you can think about are

Dropping Flygon for Sal, Snor for Bliss, and making Rotom a bulky sepcial attacker if you don't have another special attacker.

[Toffee.]

Dang it Tekken, Your team is awesome! And even made up of all the fun Pokemon!

*jelous*

[Tekken Ham]

Dang it Tekken' date=' Your team is awesome! [i']And[/i] even made up of all the fun Pokemon!

*jelous*

 

I was PRETTY much going for a non-OU whore team.

 

Considering Flygon, Snorlax, Swampert, PGZ, and maybe Rotom are OU (I think), I can't really say this is a non-OU team, but, they aren't the pokes you see everyday.

 

Honestly, I can just make a generic Aerodactyl, Scizor, Heatran, Skarm, Bliss, Breloom team, but I'd rather go for the non-whorish OU's.

 

Also Flame, I kinda wanted a Double Screen set, not status. Tangrowth is Double Powder for the status support.

 

And I minus well Scarf Z, considering it's Modest.

 

So far for Double Screen:

 

Rotom-H @ Light Clay

Bold(?)

252 HP/142 DEF/116 Sp. DEF (?)

 

Reflect

Light Screen

T-Bolt/Will-O-Wisp/Shadow Ball/TWave/Overheat

T-Bolt/Will-O-Wisp/Shadow Ball/TWave/Overheat

 

Generic Screen set-up with an EV spread I kinda just threw together. Sets up both Screens, takes out Scizor with Overheat, and has STAB T-Bolt/Shadow Ball. I really have no idea what to do for the last two moves.
