Solosis is pretty powerful in terms of Special Attack early on, but you really need TMs to be able to teach him something useful. He does receive Psyshock at 25, but not Psychic until 37. And by that time, you should begin to find the useful TMs (Energy Ball, Shadow Ball, Psychic, Calm Mind) to give him.

I saw on CAG that people are finding them at BJ's and Sam's Club stores. I haven't checked the ones in my area, but I just wanted to give you guys a heads up.
So I was reading up at Smogon to try and learn a little bit about the competitive scene and, wow, there is a ton of stuff I don't know. STAB? Sweepers? Entry hazards? EVs? Hell, I didn't even remember that this series had breeding in it. Looks like I've got a lot to learn. I don't take it there's a primer on all this stuff somewhere?
And, am I missing something? It seems like there is a huge disparity in the number of exclusive Pokemon (in favor of White) given the number of Pokemon you can only catch in White Forest.

out of those words EVs is the only one that is complicated or troublesome. and in the end it "exclusive pokemon" mean nothing in this internet age.
It all depends on how many hits you happen to get, really. Multi-hit moves do have the advantage of each hit being classed as a separate attack, so you can break through a substitute and hit the opponent in the same move and if you are really lucky you can have multiple hits be criticals.Teknoman said:
Near the start of the game I was using a Roggenrola with Rock Blast and aside from the few times when it only hit twice, it was pretty much the most damage dealing attack I had on my team.

Unless you have the ability Skill Link, but that's a fairly rare ability.

I want a ground type, I wonder who is better, a Krookodile or an Exadrill.

I'm still confused about the Liberty pass. When I get the game do I simply go online somewhere and get it? Or do I have to go to a specific store?
I've never tried to obtain event pokemon before, so....

You simply choose the "mystery gift" option from the main menu. You don't even need to have started a new game yet. It automatically downloads the pass. Then, next time you play, you enter a Pokémon centre and speak to the delivery man and he'll give you the pass, which opens up the area you can catch Victini in.Forceatowulf said:
You can also get it in-store at some places if you can't connect your DS to the internet.
Rather than go back into town, I just borrowed my sister's DSi so I could use our home WPA wireless because, really, who is savvy enough to connect a DS to the internet actually bothers with WEP anymore?

Also re: multi-hit moves, if they are contact moves, the damage from Rocky Helmet/Iron Barbs applies for each hit lol.

I'm going to Walmart at midnight to see if I can get the game early. Doubt it but it's worth a try I guess.
Don't forget to PM me your Friend Codes with the correct form from post #39.

I can't connect to my roommates wireless network because he put an apostrophe in the password and the DSi is incapable of allowing me to put it in. Nintendo must not of noticed ` and ' are different characters. I can't even do that WPS setting!Suairyu said:
So in the end I found a old cheap USB wifi connector (I stopped using the thing due to it having a fairly low bandwidth cap, like 300 KB/s), and set it to be a wifi access point.
And now to play Pokemon Ranger 1, which I have been putting off for months... An NPC just scolded me for using the D-pad to walk over the touch screen
usea said:Sad to say I'm skipping this game as well. I enjoyed playing dp with many of you, but I simply don't have the massive amount of time it would take to enjoy this game
To be fair, you can play the game as a stand alone, just like a normal rpg.

Thanks a lot guys.Suairyu said:
A few more questions if you don't mind:
1) So does Nintendo generally do this for all event pokemon or just a select few?
2) Once I obtain the pass in-game, does the mystery gift disappear forever? And can I re-download if I decided to start up a new game?

What stuff do you need to get from older games? Do you just mean because you have to transfer Pokemon from older games if you want to catch them all? Hardly anyone completes the dex anyway, and Black/White sound like the best and most complete entries in the series yet.usea said:
Well, Black has been ordered. I'm not sure how much I'll play it initially given that I'm just getting into Radiant Historia, but I'm sure it will get a good run at some point.
Soul Silver really got me back into the fold after my dedication to the cause had gone from 250 hours with Blue to 40 hours with Pearl.

1) Many but probably not all. For example, the Gamestop Entei, Suicine, and Raikou events eventually were able to be downloaded from WFC, but the Ash's Pikachu and Celebii events aren't on there, at least not yet.
2) Mystery gifts should still be available even if you start a new game. Never tried this though so I could be wrong.
I believe some are only obtainable in a store (Gamestop promotions) or, in Japan, at the cinema for movie-tie-in special versions of Pokémon.Forceatowulf said:
edit - Yeah, it should forever be on your cart because it isn't tied to a particular save file (I got the gift before even starting my game)

Great job with the official thread, Andrex.
Anyone with an early North American version of White almost done? I'm wondering if someone on GAF could breed me a Sheer Force Rufflet (baby eagle). Kinda bummed one has to wait until real late in the game before you can catch one.
