That and breeding for natures.

Oh yeah! The Everstone thing right? Awesome, I need some Dittos then. The leap in levels between E4 and the post-game is ridiculous though, who the fuck am I supposed to grind off of to be able to progress :/

I need my Platinum boys pronto. Shiny Roserade is gonna kick some serious ass once she makes it over.

The stadiums at Nimbasa have multiple trainers, and they reset every day. Great for grinding.

 

[Poyunch]

Motherfuckers. I've spent two hours just trying to breed a Sandile with Moxie. What's the percentage of getting this ability?

 

[Hot Coldman]

Yeah but they're all Lvl. 60+ too. My guys are only Lvl.52 :/ Like I said, it doesn't matter, I just need my Platinum team.

Routes 11-15 plus a TON of daily trainers appear to make leveling up easier post game.

 

[Holy Order Sol]

Despite being high level, the trainers post-E4 aren't so bad, and if even they give you trouble there's still Audino.

Alright I need some order in that to-do list:

- Go for Stone Edge TM
- EV train Kabuto and Rotom
- Get some 200ish BP because I need 3 Life Orbs and Explosion among other things
- Breed for proper Qwilfish and Meowth
- Get everything I need to breed Horsea so that it gets Outrage

 

[Gravijah]

They really aren't that hard. Plus, high level Audino.

Their total pushovers though...

I got killed by some Hiker with a Hippowdon and an Onix, both Lvl. 63. He destroyed me. :/

But yeah, the bolded there sounds very nice. Time to get on that

No Ludicolo? And why Meowth?

 

[CornBurrito]

WOOHOO! I caught an Adament Ditto. Maybe I can breed a proper Drillbur. Especially since he doesn't need egg moves to kick ass.

edit: My Excadrill is female. Does this mean that the Ditto will be treated as Male, making the everstone not work with passing on its nature?

 

[survivor]

I was checking my dex to see who I was missing and apparently I haven't seen Zweilous. Kinda weird. I guess I missed a trainer battle.

Everstone will work on either gender (since HG/SS). So give it to the Adamant Ditto.

Na, you should be good.

Sweet. Good to know they changed it in HG/SS.

 

[Holy Order Sol]

No Ludicolo? And why Meowth?

I'll handle Ludicolo even later when I get to transfer stuff because I'm gonna need Seed Bomb.

Jolly Persian + Technician should let me get Rain going and deal decent damage with Fake Out and Bite for ghosts. I'm not sure about the last move yet, could be Hypnosis or U-turn. Last thing I want is that creep Cloyster setting up for free.

Also I didn't know about Everstone working on both genders, which is weird because I read all that breeding-related stuff pretty thoroughly.

ffffffffuuuuuu killed it

Don't even want to play anymore.

 

[MidnightScott]

Now that I've finished the Unova dex, I'll be working on all of the old Pokémon. But this time specifically having one of each form in the boxes lol.

 

[Poyunch]

Does anyone know the place where they check EV stats of your Pokemon?

I probably would have done this too, even though it would have done nothing but sit in my PC all day.

If it makes you feel any better, the story your tag links to is fucking hilarious. If slightly disturbing. And ouch, killing a shiny :/

Do any of the false swipers learn Leer/Screech? That could help alleviate it somewhat...

I have my steel pokemon with false swipe for any occasion.

Already used it on Thundurus

Oh god just rub it in. That leaves me with 2/3 shinies in my entire Pokemon playing history that I've KOed by accident. The only one I've successfully managed to capture? Woobat D;

Turned the game off. Need a break.

Had my haxorus at the ready, didn't think my Hydreigon would take him out. Crit hit at the worst of times.

 

[Gravijah]

Speaking of awesome shinies:

All you have to do is give him a Stick.

Edit: OR TAKE HIM TO THE POKEMON MUSICAL AND GIVE HIM A CANE! I have a new goal in Pokelife.

no, just kidding. it really sucks.

To go in the other direction, Absol learns Swords Dance.

All my shinies I traded for. Count yourself lucky you have seen 3.

With shinies, you have to make sacrifices.

XD That's great/

Cool, cheers for that (even if it was directed at Obessed), need to make sure I transfer an Absol over from Platinum.

You can catch Absol at the Giant Chasm entrance.

 

[Electivirus]

Man, the initial descent into

the Abyssal Ruins

is pretty cool. The games rarely have camera perspective like that. I'd like to see it more often.

Fought a shiny Gligar after 200+ hours in Pokemon Gold. Never encountered another one until White, when I found and successfully caught a shiny Woobat. This is the third I've ever seen, and by the far the most awesome, and fuck everything.

Celestial Tower?

 

[OMG Aero]

I don't suppose anyone here can trade me some Pokemon to help with egg move breeding?
I'm after a male Absol that knows Dark Pulse (It can only know this if you taught it Dark Pulse in Gen 4 then transfer it to Gen 5) and either a Drowzee, Chimchar or Croagunk so I can pass Nasty Plot onto another Pokemon.
In exchange I can give you a Unova starter, Tirtouga/Archen, Rufflet and Zorua.

 

[The Lamp]

I've never seen a wild shiny Pokemon besides Red Gyarados in my entire 13 years of playing so I shed no tears for any of you.

 

[Gravijah]

Driftveil City Gym is also awesome. You guys know what I'm talking about!

 

[Hot Coldman]

Oh, OK. That's actually preferable, I can't remember if I have an Absol on Platinum and I cba to go all the way up Mt Coronet so that's much more convenient.

There's lifts, and... ???

 

[Edag Plata]

Any tips for a quick evolution for Woobat? I've never been good at figuring out how to make these creatures happy enough for evolution...

 

[CornBurrito]

Sigh, my Ditto and Exadrill "dont like each other much." Does that mean they won't make babies, or does it just mean it will take a lot longer for them to produce a child?

Wow, five seconds after posting this they had a baby. So much for not liking each other.

Does he evolve by happiness? Attach a soothe bell, keep him in your party for a while. It helps if you catch him with a luxury ball.

[User 73706]

Barring Gyarados, I've only ever seen/caught two shinies--a Voltorb and a Grimer, both in LeafGreen. D:

 

[Raxus]

I got a spare Tornadus. Anyone have a Thundurus?

Hate sex can be great lol

 

[Suairyu]

OKAY I'M BACK

Time to head out into the post-E4 world.

I thiiiink I'll aim to finish catching the last few Pokémon remain from the pre-E4 areas first.

 

[Gravijah]

Time to hatch some Murkrow. If anyone wants one I'll probably end up with a billion. Nothing special about 'em, though, other than being exclusive to Black in BW.
