Someone just showed me a cheat sheet, and while it's a nice sequence of stuff, I had already come up with a bit of sequencing and most of it just seemed kind of logical to me.GaimeGuy said:
The one thing that makes me sad is that it's not like (well-formed) sudoku, since you can make a layout that has the whole board matching the numbers, but it won't be right because there will be multiple possible combinations.
Also, does anyone else think it's kind of weird/creepy that the entire game corner consists of one guy (plus prize people), behind a table, for anyone to come in and get free coins from? If they were going to do that, why not like, two games? Or anyone else in the entire city coming in for the free money? :lol
I've been wondering about rare candies...
I hope someone can answer this; do rare candies level your pokemon up normally, same stat gain etc. I know you would be getting EVs from it, but can you make those back up later?
I am slightly confused. And the lucky egg, where can I get a clefary with one?

Oh, whoops, didn't see that. Yeah, HM slaves are annoying but they're a necessity. You can just grab a Dragonite for your flying/waterfalling needs.
And Houndoom is pretty good, but it's kind of redundant with Starmie/Togekiss there. To add some balance to your team you could just replace Extrasensory with Flamethrower.

Quick Q, is anyone available to trade me a Poke(doesn't matter which one) holding a Leaf Stone?
I'll give you...uh...a Piplup for it.
[edit]Ach, will try at later time.

I...I...I lost to the Elite Four. Bruno kept Cross chopping me. D:
I need to train, my highest level Pokemon is 41. I thought I could wing it and get through with items. Anyone know any good training spots? I remember in the originals I spent hours in Victory Road but I'd rather not do that.
And what the hell, where did all the trainers go in Victory Road?

Rare candies level up your Pokemon normally. They get the same stat gains as wild pokemon, pokemon left in the Day-Care centre, pokemon leveled via the pokewalker as well as trained pokemon (minus the EVs, obviously which make all the difference).Squire Felix said:
Luckily, you can EV train at any time, provided you trigger the function to recalculate your pokemon's EV stat boosts. This function is called when:
- Your pokemon levels up
- You use a stat reduction berry
If you get a level 100 rare-candied-up pokemon that has never seen a battle you can still EV train it, but you need to alter your procedure (because it'll never level up again). What you do is gain one EV in a stat you don't want, then EV train as normal. When you're done EV training, give your pokemon a berry to reduce the unwanted EV to zero. It'll trigger the EV boost function and you'll get your EV stat boosts in all your other stats.
The result (of the berry trick) is that you'll never "officially" max out your EVs, but one EV probably won't make one lick of difference to your stats anyway.
For pokemon of levels 1 - 99, you can EV train, then level up once and you get the stat boost.

so togekiss can learn flamethrower? that'll solve it lol...i used dratini/dragonair/dragonite for the first 8 badges so i'm trying to stay away from them. thanks for the input tho! i've never really tried most of these pokes so i wanted to see how good they are(hell, this is the first game i've EVER used scyther/scizor as well)
You sir, know a lot about Pokemon and I thank you for this. So all I have to do if I use a few rare candies I picked up along the way is just to drop that stat with berries and it will balance itself out. But I can never truly max out that stat by just a few points.viciouskillersquirrel said:

Basically. Any one pokemon can only have a maximum of 510 EVs distributed across all stats, but each stat is capped at 255. Thus, if you have a purely physical attacker, the best thing to do is max out Atk at 252 (I'll explain why in a minute) and dump the rest into something like Spd or Def/Sp.Def.Squire Felix said:
Another thing to note is that it takes 4 EVs in any stat to raise that stat by one point. Thus, a cap of 255 EVs in Atk yields 63.75 total points extra in Atk. Since the 0.75 won't be added to your Atk, it's better to just gain 252 EVs (63 points exactly) and just put the rest elsewhere. This way, in total, you can gain 510 EVs, but in reality, only the first 508 EVs will "count" toward your stat total (hence you being able to not worry about that one EV).

Does anyone happen to have a spare Growlithe? I don't care the nature and EV's really. I just need a fire type. If I'd have known I couldn't get him in SS I would have picked up HG.

I never got why Growlithe/Arcanine are so popular. Must be a dog-person thing.TheSeks said:

Oh yeah route 36. I forgot that Vulpix was there. Still Vulpix pales in comparison to Growlithe (in my eyes).

Ive heard somewhere in this thread that you need surf strength and rock smash (probably forgetting something). Ive spent all my time breeding for the perfect team, so I haven't even gotten to the e4.btkadams said:
Vanille said:
Flare Blitz = Fire moves hitting the Pokemon = Stats raise? Vulpix has that as well. Dunno about Extremespeed.
Vulpix is a dog as well, well... fox, but same thing
Ninetails just doesn't have the following as Arcanine, probably because it's a "female" Pokemon (well, appeals more to girls). But it's still a decent Pokemon in battle, I feel and it should do fine for the quest without having to bend over backwards for an exclusive Pokemon.

I've loved Growlithes ever since I caught one in Red with a Master Ball. :lol

Well I got Vulpix... I guess that will work for me for now.

Also, shouldn't call it fail. But how the hell did you get Mewtwo as a kid without the Masterball? :lol

Is there anyway to get the Metal Coat aside from the Pokéalthon?
I didn't realize the Master Ball was a one time thing. I basically used my friends Game Genie to get all the Pokémon and on my second playthrough I used the MISSINGNO. trick.TheSeks said:

None of my friends had Pokemon when I was in school, or at least they didn't play as much as me. *shrug*TheSeks said:
