I'll give you it with the DW ability, but it isn't even out yet unless you hack...and even then, I'm pretty sure it'd be banned from wifi until it was officially obtainable

It's no biggie. This kind of thing is bound to happen with new trading mechanics. I also should have kept my Escavalier in the PC box instead of the party to avoid confusion.Roto13 said:Oops. Sorry. I've evolved a lot of these things for people.I'll find yours and hop back online.
The perils of trading from PC boxes.
Thanks for the quick response.
I dunno, it's still rather annoying to me, even after importing in my competitive team. Trying to complete 49+ battles against teams of solidly built pokemon make it kind of tough not to run into one out of the many, many pokemon that'll trip you up at least once. Super singles... is frustrating :|Wiseblade said:

We need a definitive list of all the DW released pokes. Smogon hasn't updated it's list in months and I thought I saw Dragonite on another list
Edit: @Grav I'm pretty sure I saw that it was released on the Japanese side of things

Wouldn't that just cause you to switch out Pokemon?Roto13 said:
So far I've got:
All the power Items (6x16)
10 Proteins (10x1)
1 Flame Orb (1x16)
1 Life Orb (1x48)
1 Air Balloon (1x48)
That's 218 points, plus the 31 I have now makes 249(!) points earned on the Battle Subway. I might be lowballing this number since I'm pretty sure I bought the Power bracer twice (even though I only have one) and I may have got some Carbos as well.

Cool stuff. I haven't spent too much time there. How do you think my current team would fare?Wiseblade said:
Hydreigon
Metagross
Haxorus
Krookodile
Tyranitar
Got an extra slot currently for an HM slave, not sure what I'd put in its place. Volcarona, maybe. I need a fire type. Any glaring flaws with this set up? I know ice is a big threat.

If it's not EV trained, don't bother.

Vitamins for 1 BP each don't seem worth it to me at the moment. I just buy some them after robbing the rich family every day. I'll probably end up using BP on them when I have everything else I want though.

As a whole team you're looking a little weak to bug types attacks; Volcarona would hit Hydreigon, Krookodile and Tyranitar for SE with Bug Buzz and Metagross with Fire Blast.Crunched said:
EDIT: but yeah if theyre not EV trained they'll never make in the super trains. you might make it through the first 14 fights of the normal single though, but that's only 6 BP total :/
I'm looking for a replacement for Haxorus but I've got no ideas. Shedinja is a possibility -- may be my favorite Pokemon -- but it's got limited use. Besides that, don't know. I used an Elektross for much of the game, and while it's novel having a Pokemon with no weaknesses, it's generally not very good. I've considered Reuniclus, Gengar, Vanilluxe, and Stoutland... but am not really drawn toward any one.Wiseblade said:
Is EV training a must for the super trains? I'm not totally against it, but I don't have much time to put into it :/
I'm talking about the Subway, I'm just considering a 6-Pokemon team for general use and subs.Obsessed said:

They actually use things like Volcarona at the Battle Subway? I haven't seen anything particularly strong in the singles subway line. The strongest thing was probably a Garbodor used by the Frontier Brain equivalent.
Are we even talking about the Subway? He listed 6 Pokemon, but only three can be used.

Just fought and won my first random match! Some hiker in Japan. Was pretty neat, this really should have been in D/P...
Whaaaaaaaat? Was it like that in HG/SS?
For Super, yes, almost definitely. I ported over my SoulSilver Battle Frontier team and I wasn't able to even build up a 7-streak. (Due to lack of hold items on two of the Pokemon, it was really close though.)

The super subways are exclusively fully evolved pokemon and they even take out "Junk" like Beautifly and Luvdisc.Obsessed said:
But yeah I don't think I was clear that i was trying to cover any combinatiuon of the aforemention 5. You can only take 3 into the single subway and 4 into the double subway.

Wiseblade said:
Oh. Now I see why EV training might be needed.
Also I've been using Tyranitar/Excadrill/Seismitoad. I've been finding Seismitoad to be pretty lacking, and I've been thinking of replacing him. Any suggestions? I'm also thinking of making my Tyranitar more specially based. If they use fully evolved Pokemon at Super I'm expecting there to be tons of Dragons that I can shoot down with Ice Beam.
Also <3 Excadrill. Nothing seems to outspeed him in the sand. Now I just need to get an Air Balloon, or Chople Berry.

PLDH has released their Unova Collection wallpapers! So good~
Starmie with Clear Body has saved my ass more times than I can count.
Edit- Or maybe it wasn't Clear Body, it was Natural Cure.

so for some reason I thought it'd be a good idea to use Zebstrika to catch Tornadus and I killed it with one Discharge
Does that guy ever respawn? I'd reset, but I think it's been quite a while since I last saved >.>

IIRC beating the E4 will reset him. Great if you want a specific nature and nonshitty IV's. Check with someone else though to be sure.
beaten...
I'm not sure you understand me. If you went on the battle subway with any three of those five, the computer would send nothing but volcarona your way who would kill your entire team with ease. Replacing Haxorus with Shedinja would just make things worse. You need to replace some of your dark types - probably Tyranitar and Krookodile since you've already got tons of physical power in Metagross and Haxorus. Consider using Starmie, He's a solid staple on Battle Tower/Subway and competitive teams.Crunched said:

Is he singing in Japanese?
Is he singing in Japanese?
Is there any way to get a Tornadus's nature to be what I want?
Because running into it with Synchronize does nothing.
Or do I just have to keep beating Alder over and over and pray that I can get the proper nature?
I think it sounds Japanese too (I mostly hear "Pokemon" every now and then), but it's hard to tell.

Bah. Maybe I'll buy Black sooner than I expected then.
The game will not summon Pokemon because of a weakness on your team. Battle Tower/Subway plays a lot of dirty tricks, but the Pokemon are chosen at random depending on what stage of the subway you're on.
It is good to cover your weaknesses though. Go through a list of Pokemon (at least every type), and try to figure out what you'll do in every circumstance. ie; if Mamoswine is out against your Haxorus, what will you switch to? There's a lot more to it in Battle Tower though if you want to be really successful, but a lot of that involves raising Pokemon that you wouldn't use competitively otherwise.
