I caught a Litwick and trained it to level 38 so it matches my other Pokemon's level. Oh, and I named it Candleja

[J-Max]

I've been playing B/W and have already made it to the Second Gym. Well done Nintendo for making every Pokemon New :) Most of the designs are rather cute this Gen. I have a personal soft spot for Pidove. I always imagined a Pigeon as a Pokemon and Nintendo have pulled it off really well.

 

Not a huge fan of the C-Gear though. Takes up the whole bottom screen and feels like it is forced on you lol

[Tentacruel]

Wow J-Max, you are the first person not to complain about how the Pokemon are either ugly or based off of inanimate objects. +1

[TheTurtleOnceCalledGod]

Vanilluxe tastes delicious :3

TBH I thought many of the new pokemon were cute and cuddly.

Also, what is wrong with basing a pokemon after an inanimate object? It's no better or worse than anthropomorphism. Many animals are quite intelligent, but not in the same ways that humans are intelligent. Its as simple as that.

Cheers for the +1 :D Also Inanimate objects? Every Pokemon I have run into so far has been a Anima of some description. Heck they even have a Terrier Pokemon called Lillipup (another cute Pokemon) also the 3 "Pan" Pokemon.

My cutenes Meter just exploded :P

[Lonk]

There are always a few bad Pokemon designs in every generation of pokemon. People only complain about this gen's designs because they know they want to make an excuse to not have to admit that this Pokemon game is the best since Red and Blue.

[J-Max]

Did a little research into Whimsicott and came accross this :P

*Blushes*

Well, a lot of people have been ranting about the Ice Cream, the Candle and the Trashbag.

 

I for one love almost all the new Pokemon.

[Monkey]

I think I'm in love with the Elemental Monkeys :) for obvious reasons

[Zextra]

I signed up for the Global Link today, and I was excited about using the Dream World...until I found out that as of yet it's not possible to get a Litwick with Shadow Tag :(

[shadowferret]

I'm actually liking the Dream World function. The variety doesn't seem to be very good so far, but I like the Shinx, Rattata and Surskit I've caught so far. =D

 

Also, JOLTIK IS THE CUTEST THING I'VE SEEN IN AGES <3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3 (Galvantula fan)

[HitoKage]

I'm Eving a Blitzle and I'm worried its Defenses are too low, should I add some (Sp.) DEF Ev's, and if so how many, or should I stick with my 252 ATK and 252 Speed?

[Lonk]

I would say go with 252 speed. Blitzle's niche is in speed anyways.

 

I am ATK EVing my Luxio which has Ice Fang. Should I also EV another stat?

[.Rai]

Luxray, always 252 Atk and 252 Spd if you're raising a physical one.

 

For me, I can't access Dream World. I get on but when it gets to the first loading screen, it's stuck at 0%. I don't know whether it's my Flash (which I assume is really quite recent) or something else. Anyone?

[HitoKage]

Liligant

 

Modest

Chlorophyll

 

252 Sp. ATK / 252 Speed

 

Competitive

Quiver Dance

Sleep Powder

Sunny Day

Solarbeam / Energy Ball

 

Casual

Quiver Dance

Sleep Powder

Dream Eater

Petal Dance

 

 

Does that look ok at least?

[Sweetie Belle]

Found out that Dream World Chandelure is Uber... I feel kinda stupid for not realizing that in the first place.

[Lonk]

Luxray, always 252 Atk and 252 Spd if you're raising a physical one.

Ok thanks. I do happen to be raising a Physical one. I am first raising it's Atk then it's Spd.

To be honest, your Casual set is more competitive. Own Tempo Petal Dancing Quiver Dance Lilligant can easily OHKO anything with normal resistance. Although it's suited to sun teams, it's often just used for it's pure sweeping power. If you use a Sun Lilligant, either wait for Drought Dream World Vulpix or don't use Lilligant as the sun inducer.

[HitoKage]

Thanks Cursed, I completely forgot about Own Tempo.

 

So...

 

Quiver Dance

Sleep Powder

Dream Eater / Energy Ball

Petal Dance

[.Rai]

I would suggest Giga Drain or Aromatherapy over Energy Ball/Dream Eater. Aromatherapy Is only learnable by Lilligant in Gen V while Giga Drain is a good heal option.

[HitoKage]

I'll do Giga Drain/ Dram Eater, just because it's unexpected.

 

Also:

 

Serperior

 

Modest

 

4ATK / 244 Speed / 252 SP. ATK / ??? (4 HP) ???

 

Dragon Tail

Giga Drain

Toxic

???

-Energy ball

-Grass Knot

-Suggestions

[.Rai]

Here, I would suggest either changing the set to SubSeed or a support Serperior. Since you've already committed EVs, I'll show you the SubSeed set. Adjust as liked.

 

SubSeed

252 Sp. Atk / 244 Spd / 4 Sp. Def / 4 HP / 4 Def

 

- Substitute

- Leech Seed

- Dragon Tail

- Giga Drain / Energy Ball

[HitoKage]

252 Sp. Atk / 244 Spd / 4 Sp. Def / 4 HP / 4 ATK

 

I like it, but it isn't my cup of tea.

 

I was thinking a Serperior that would poison the opponent, use Dragon Tail and then repeat.

 

Substitute could help.

[Yang Xiao-Long]
