bury the year Posted October 10, 2012 Report Share Posted October 10, 2012 I don't feel like you can charge through this game as easily as BW. There's definitely more of a difficulty curve involved between gyms: I was pretty underleveled against Burgh, for example. At least there are a lot of trainers before Elesa - Desert Resort/Route 4, Route 16 and Route 5 are all accessible beforehand. Now, on to catch a male Skitty with Cute Charm to make getting a female Combee easier. Then I might try catching a Trapinch. [b]EDIT:[/b] I'm bothered by the fact that one of the NPCs in the Nimbasa-Route 16 gatehouse has a grammar error in her dialogue. (The phrase is "its lair," not "it's lair".)

[/quote] I must agree, I noticed that when i fought burgh but there was nothing he could do against a Growlithe. Clay on the other hand i was really nervous about as he had a few levels on me and i had nothing with super effective outs to his team, save for the growlithe which would likely get bulldozed into oblivion by Excadrill before it even got the chance to strike.

Master of Sabers Posted October 10, 2012 Report Share Posted October 10, 2012 Thank god for the lucky egg. I'm rather stubborn about not challenging a gym until my pokemon are the same level or higher than the gym leader's pokemon. Don't know why. But there you have it. So I farm the breeders and get good cash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bury the year Posted October 10, 2012 Report Share Posted October 10, 2012 Well, caught a female Combee, but then I realized I found a better team setup and promptly ditched it for a Solosis. MY FINAL TEAM STRUCTURE. Samurott (male) Magnezone/Magneton (genderless) Leafeon (male) Reuniclus (female) Volcarona (male) Altaria (female) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bury the year Posted October 10, 2012 Report Share Posted October 10, 2012 @Scar: Yep. Gonna borrow my friend's DS. At first I was hesitant about using Volcarona, but I think the high stats combined with meh-ish moves will even out to make it so it doesn't sweep everything.

I really want to use Volcarona in my main, but my team is already set. But theres a chance i'll switch my Growlithe out for something. It depends on how he does once hes finally hit Arcanine. Also Edit: I captured Virizion with a single ball.. are the three of them Gimmicked like Zekrom/Reshiram were in the first game? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toffee. Posted October 10, 2012 Report Share Posted October 10, 2012 Just beat Clay. His Krokorok was annoying, because He Tormet'd when I wanted to use Growth more then 1 time, with My Servine. Leaf Blade -> KO'd Sandslash was KO'd from 1 Bubblebeam, cuz I switched to Keldeo. Excadrill... I switched back to Servine -> He gets Bulldoze in first which lowers my Speed -> Leech Seed -> He does Metal Claw, the jackass gets an ATK boost from it >__> Servine is still alive, but at like half HP. Switched to Golett and Vulaby, for some unknwon reason, just to wind up getting them KO'd. Though, Leech Seed did take, like, what? 5HP from each of those rounds? Keldeo, because he has a lot of Speed -> Bubblebeam -> KO'd ....Clay was easier then I thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cin Posted October 10, 2012 Report Share Posted October 10, 2012 That early Volcarona is great...since Larvesta only gets Physical moves...leaving you in a pain spot of move relearner or just leveling. If I wasn't obssessed with using a Houndoom (since I can get it Dark Pulse now), I'd use it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
