Best place to grind for E4 or grind for Victory Road?

For the Elite Four, throwing the broken and battered bodies of your Pokemon at them repeatedly is a very solid method.

Grind, die, grind, die, grind, die...

Blargh! I wish I can take back my guess. I'm now convinced it's either Gligar or Gliscor. I'm leaning towards Gligar because Gliscor doesn't look purple.

0/1 :(

i started up my black game again since i only ever made it to the end but didn't venture much into post game...

Is it worth grinding some more just to see Black City or are there some other cool towns on the way there after the regular end of the story?

Depending on where you start, Black City is either the first or last stop in a series of towns you haven't been able to visit yet. You don't really have to grind. The wild Pokemon and standard trainers are high level, but experience scaling means you'll join them soon enough. Plus, it's not like many of them have full teams. It's no Kanto, but the post game is worth checking out.

In the Gold/Silver/Crystal games (set in Johto), you continue on after beating the Elite 4 and get to explore the entire world from the Red/Blue/Yellow games (set in Kanto). You even get to challenge the gym leaders. It's pretty sweet.

The post-game content in Black/White is not nearly as extensive.

It's in HeartGold/SoulSilver too. (They'd never be able to leave that out, it's one of the reasons GSC was so awesome. :p)

That's what I thought, but it had been a while.

Not to mention that the Dojo actually had a use for the first time in Kanto's history.

It's still pretty empty. Outside of them adding Viridian Forest it still feels kind of hollow.

Cerulean cave was also missing on the GSC, but was restored for HGSS. Along with the Legendary Birds/Mewtwo being unobtainable in the Gen II games.

HG/SS postgame > B/W postgame in terms of quantity, but I thought B/W's undersea ruins were easily more awesome than anything in HG/SS.

Not more awesome than Mt. Silver. :p

They were pretty neat though. Actually, they were sort of creepy, which is a feeling I didn't get from Pokemon since... Lavender Town? Distortion World sort of came close, but that was more "wtf" than "creepy."

BW post-game is pretty extensive, though. It comes really close to HGSS in terms of quantity, and outside of Mt. Silver I'd argue that it is superior in quality.

what creeps me out is that one house where you talk to the tv and "and evil presence is watching you". i play handhelds, and therefore pokemon, mostly at night and that still creeps me out to this day.

Apparently there's a new Musical, too. Carnival Pokemon. You have to use a password from Nintendo Power for it, though.

Does anyone have spare Female Dream World Pikachu (or line), or Eevee to trade? Both are Japanese events only, but I figured someone might have found one. Any of the starters released as Promos with DW abilities would be great as well, but they're lower priority.

I have some DW Pokemon of my own for trade, or a couple EV/IV trained/bred Pokemon. Or something. Halp ;_;

Reposting from Smogon, as I've actually started raising a few Pokemon once more. Trick Room.. goo!

I've been having a bunch of fun with Super Doubles Trick Room, as there seems to be very few AI teams that 'know what to do' once Trick Room is up. Using SpDef Amoonguss (Rage Powder, Spore, Protect, Giga Drain) and Reuniclus to setup Trick Room and sweep. Depending on what I'm facing, I could use almost any move with Amoonguss and Reuniclus only fails to setup Trick Room if I mispredict.

I've been using Escavalier and (filler, but Snorlax right now, Crawdaunt, or Chandelure later) as my back up sweepers. Even if Trick Room runs out by the time my fourth Pokemon has to come out, it's usually 2v1. Most of the time, I won't lose a Pokemon with the two leads natural bulk and Spore spam.

I haven't read the thread yet for strategies, but I'm looking forward to trying out a bunch of teams. Doubles Subway is a lot more entertaining for me over Singles.

Well, I do understand Trick Room quite well. In Doubles it makes a lot of sense because you have a partner that benefits from it as well, and can assist in setting it up. Thus, the 'short' duration of Trick Room is put to more use.

And it really screws with a bunch of strategies. It turns all the weather teams, trying to abuse Swift Swim, etc, against themselves, making them incredibly slow.

Another event Victini is coming.

Umm, how about something like Terrakion, Meleotta, or Genesect PUSA? That would be nice. Hell, Japan has gotten Darkrai and Arceus.

I mean I guess I shouldn't complain, one more legendary on the pile for future trades, but still... I want a complete Pokedex again. :p

Ah, sounds like a pretty boss move.

Stupid it doesn't learn it any other way though.

Nintendo and The Pokemon Company always ban the 100-in-all-stats event legendaries.
