Rough idea for a team right here. Tell me what you guys think of it (sorry, no items/EVs/movesets, just a rough sketch here)

  • Aerodactly: Lead
  • Togekiss: Special Tank/Special attacker (maybe support too?)
  • Kingdra: Mixed sweeper
  • Tangrowth: Physical tank, Statuser/annoyer
  • Scizor: Physical sweeper
  • Alakazam: Special sweeper

Eh, I'm not a huge fan of Using Kingdra outside of Rain teams. Without the doubled speed and boost to water moves, it lacks punch in my opinion. I'd suggest using Garchomp in its place. He's not mixed, but you'll be able to switch him in on all the electric attacks Aerodactyl and Togekiss will draw in and is immediately threatening.

Between this, the monies from the ruins, the pile of items I haven't yet sold and the Star Piece every day... and the fact there isn't a silly money sink villa like in Platinum, I'm feeling good about my dream of 999. It's gonna happen. THIS TIME IT'S GONNA HAPPEN.

I actually got max monies once before, in Silver, 10 years ago. Fucking Slowpoketail. *cries* fucking... slowpoketail...

You can have more than 999,999 money in B/W if that's what you mean by 999. Also, if you've been selling your Star Pieces, you might want to stop since you can trade them for PP Ups to a guy in a business suit in Anville Town on the weekends.

Point taken. I kind of hate Garchomp so I think I'll look for a different poke to take Kingdra's place. Thanks for your opinion.

EDIT: What tourney are we talking about?

EDIT2: Found it. Looks like I'll have to get my double battle skills up to par

Do you have to have beaten the game to get the pre Unova Pokemon in a trade? If so, I'll hit you up for one of these once I get that far, lol

you can get any pokemon if someone trades them to you at any point. you just can't bring your own pokemon from a previous gen until after the main story.

I used a Kingdra in Platinum and it was pretty good. I gave it Outrage, Waterfall, Dragon Dance, Yawn and a Lum Berry to stop the confusion from Outrage.

Good to know.

I'd love to take one of those Machop's off of you then GO when you have a chance =)

I used a similar Kingdra but with Substitute to block status. Kingdra's not weak, but it gets stopped cold by Empoleon and Ferrothorn, and outsped and OHKO'd by virtually every other dragon outside of the rain.

Hydreigon (DONE)
Reuniclus
Jellicent

I've got a male and female here for you. Which one do you want? IVs are unknown for both, but each should have at least one 31 IV.

First, thank you so much! Either is totally fine, but lets go with female. :)

Just picked up a Tynamo grinding in Chargestone. I can't believe it's not weak against any type =D

(And seems to be rare to boot)

How many Pokemon does this make now? 3? Sableye, Spiritomb and now the Tynamo line.

Nope, I only deal with legitimate Pokemon. Having all 646 makes move breeding pretty quick.

I've got a Ditto with every non-neutral nature, as well as several Dittos with 31s in different IVs.

Doesn't take too long to get what I'm looking for, usually.

Bold nature with Recover, both of them. Both also have Water Absorb.

Ah, I see. Recover is a level up move as well. Either one will be great! Thank you. :)

Wow I did not even realize that Recover was a level-up move. Fuck. I even trained a Slugma to get it.

I wish I could read. :(

I swear, trying to find a spot with true free WiFi these days has been a lot more irritating than expected. These days, a vast majority of the hot-spots (I've tried virtually every fast food chain, Bread Co/Panera, Borders, Barnes & Noble, school, etc) have websites where you have to "sign in" to use their free WiFi, and since my DS Lite doesn't quite have a web-browser, that's pretty much a lost cause. With my router on the fritz, the only open I know of here is using ad-hoc, which the DS also doesn't really support.

Any other options to get WiFi? I want my Victini.

Izayoi are you still in the room? I rejoined but I still don't see you.

That was actually the first thing I attempted to do. Like every where else, the DS has no problems detecting an access point, but it just actually can't connect to it even despite the DS showing that it's a pretty unsecured connection.

D-Pad said:
Hate to give such an answer because it's never so easy, but: Get a new router?
Click to expand...

Definitely not so easy in this case. The cheapest router I know of is ~$40, and most places these days have a pretty crappy return policy if it ends up not working with my internet for some reason. But it does beat messing with my current router, which effectively killed my internet connection last month or so when I attempted to mess with it.

Should I buy Pokemon XD for $7? I probably won't transfer any of the Pokemon from it to my GBA games.

I liked it, but Colosseum was much better. If you haven't played Colo, get that instead. If you have (and liked it), play XD, but don't expect it to have the same badass main characters.

Saw this in a 3DS thread a few nights ago and it's amazing. I can freely use the GTS and trade in my girlfriend's wi-fi-less dorm now! :)

I think I hate Staryu now. I just got a Timid Staryu with max HP/Def/SpA/Speed IVs and it once again has Illuminate instead of Natural Cure. It's fucking retarded that these things can't even breed with one another. The only way these things don't go extinct is if a ditto decides to take a swim, sees a staryu, and decides to fuck it. I hate this shit.

It seems like that program would have been the solution to all of my problems.

Unfortunately, it only works on Windows 7 and I still have Vista.

Holy shit the encounter rate is making the game near unplayable in caves. =/

Also, who was it that wanted you to show them a steel type Pokemon? I caught one but I forgot who to show it to.
