A while from beating red yet, so trying to get the 4/6 I won't be able to get. So really any would be good if possible.

Just give me 10 to 15 minutes, I'm breeding all of them for you.

 

[Yottamole]

I just saw my first shiny ever in all these years of playing pokemon. A green golbat in victory road. Caught him.

First time I saw a shiny was in Slowpoke Well, a Zubat in the original Silver game. First I thought it was some special event thing so I killed it, reset the game and bought lots of Pokeballs and went back to the place so that I could try to catch it, and never encountered another shiny again...

 

[Crazymoogle]

So I have been thinking of making a pokemon focused on getting critical hits and I haven't been able to find on serebii the answer to some things, so I figured would ask here:

1) what are exact odds of a critical hit for normal attacks?

2) what are those odds for high-crit attacks like slash and psycho cut?

3) how much does focus energy increase those odds?

4) how much does Super Luck increase those odds?

5) how much does scope lens increase those odds?

Basically, there is a tier chart.

Tier 0: 1/16
Tier 1: 1/8
Tier 2: 1/4
Tier 3: 1/3
Tier 4: 1/2

High-crit moves or Scope lens move you up 1 tier. So does Super Luck. (this is stackable!)
Focus energy moves you up 2 tiers. The highest you could do is Tier 5 as that would require Super Luck, Scope Lens, a high crit move, and a focus energy move. But Tier 2 is really the sweet spot for odds as you have to make sacrifices to go with focus energy and a Super Luck ability pokemon.

(This is why Drapion is typically called "crithax" in some configs, because Sniper guarantees 3x damage, and you can use moves/scope lens to hit Tier 2.)

Pre-edit: This place is pretty much where I learned the system from a gen or two ago.

Has anyone used the Pokemon Netbattle Supremacy stat tracker?

This is kind of cool. Apparently, there's a Farfetch'd build out there that can get above 50% critical hit ratio, but it requires some skill swap shenanigans.

 

[TheSeks]

it uses the last chosen route.

Ah, interesting. Never knew that. I guess I could stop having it be a "Furretwalker" now, but I kinda like how Furret looks in the Pokewalker. So happy and dancing whenever I check my steps. :lol

I really gotta get a Jigglypuff/Magby/Elekid from the Walker but 10K steps a day for myself is crazy insane.

 

[Menmanelf]

Ok, thanks a bunch.

Really? It's not hard for me at all. Especially at work. I just put it in my pocket, and basically do my usual bookstore stuff. And when I check it I have a good number of watts and steps. In fact, I have 18K right now.

 

[Echoes]

Menmanelf, I got you Charmander, Bulbasaur and Mudkip. Will breed you a Treecko later when I transer Sceptile from Platinum.

I'm in, FC 4984 7134 0994

Edit: FootNinja, just bring another Poke for the PKRS-infected EDIT: Sorry! the one Poke I'll transfer will be infected. No need for two!

 

[Menmanelf]

Thanks, just logging on now.

 

[Guardian Bob]

Anyone want to trade something? I have 3rd and 4th gen pokemon, and anything 1st or 2nd gen would be good. (bulbasaur? )

I drive a lot too, but it's surprisingly easier for me at work.

 

[Harpuia]

Alright, which of the Battle facilities in battle frontier is the best way to earn BP? And will I be able to go in and do good with just pokemon with good moves, or will I need to ev train them?

 

[Firestorm]

Why are there Zubats in Slowpoke well. I want a Slowpoke. If I wanted Zubats, I'd go to Zubat Cave or something.

I'm sure you know this, and I am reading too much into the comment, but you have to surf for the pokes.

btw Thanks echoes!

 

[Eteric Rice]

Yes, thats him. To be honest, I was a little offended that he didnt call me to inform me of the evolution.

We should check his twitter! :O

 

[Menmanelf]

Thanks for that.

Also looking to trade a Phione for Rayquaza/Groundon/Latios/Darkrai/Shaymin if anyone is interested.

Ok sounds good! Any preference?

PS: where do we meet? I haven't done this in a while. Oh, and do you need your name with your friend code?

 

[Chorazin]

Maaaan, I connected to so many Pokewalkers at PAX East over this weekend. That little gadget was pretty much the unofficial handshake of the con!

 

[TheSeks]

The Battle Tower if you have a good team is an easy way to get BP.

I like the Battle Factory, no need to have a good team but it's hard to win if you don't know what you're doing with the random selections.

 

[Echoes]

Turtwig is cool. The others can be anything.

Go down the stairsin any Poke-center and talk to the lady in the middle.

Edit: you can put any name. In GAF I'm Echoes, In-game I'm Mega

 

[Axis]

Alright I have some egg move pokemon I don't need anymore...as I have wayyyy too many.

bagon - dragon dance/hydro pump/fire fang

larvitar(have adamant/jolly natures) & dratini - dragon dance

togepi - nasty plot

scyther - substitute/swords dance/baton pass



also have 4 extra aerodactyls, some random ralts from trying to get the right synchronized nature and like 2 dragon dance charmanders(and some flamethrower/dragon claw charmanders)


would rather give them away than release them!

 

[Echoes]

Axis. Is it too much to give me one of each? Or do you only have one of each?

 

[Axis]

But I don't have Surf I couldn't remember if there were Slowpokes here in the cave or not. Guess I better leave.

 

[Axis]

they should be in there...it's where i caught mine on my first trip to the slowpoke well...so just keep trying

 

[Metroid Killer]

Hey Axis you still got a Bagon left?

 

[Echoes]

Thanks Echoes!

You too

I wonder, is there a way to re-battle Red? Would be a cool way to stack EXP aside from the Gym rematches and the E4.

All I'm missing now is a handy guide for EV training in HG/SS.

 

[Menmanelf]

Iirc, you need to rebeat the E4, and you can battle him again.

 

[Firestorm]

So Prof. Elm just phoned me telling me how the egg I had hatched. How the hell did he know? Creepy old man is spying on me. More as it develops.

It's the Pokegear. I swear its microphone is always on.

 

[BGBW]

Well I beat Whitney first time round. Took a bit bit of a beating as my moves didn't take too much damage off of her so her milk drink would usually recover back what little damage I did.

Most of the match involved me being too much in love to attack and her being paralysed so unable to attack. Fun times.

 

[matrix-cat]

I found that my team of crummy Pokes I'd never used before was getting wrecked by every Gyarados I came across, so I decided to get me a Magneton. The first one I caught in the Safari Zone turned out to have 29-31 HP, Special Attack and Speed IVs, which is pretty much the best thing ever. Unfortunately it has what could be a zero IV in Defence and it's nature is Mild (SpA up, Defence down). So, I'm hoping it's faster than Lance's Gyarados when I take on the Elite 4, because either it goes first and obliterates Gyarados with Discharge, or it doesn't and Gyarados obliterates it with Earthquake :lol

Why, oh why, does Magneton, a Pokemon with a 4x weakness to Ground that, y'know, actually levitates, not get Levitate as an ability?

Well I beat Whitney first time round. Took a bit bit of a beating as my moves didn't take too much damage off of her so her milk drink would usually recover back what little damage I did.

That whore of a Miltank changed her strategy this time through. In GSC she'd always Rollout my whole team to death; I never ever saw it miss and I'm sure she was cheating. In Soul Silver she never used Rollout against me, instead she kept using Stomp and I seemed to be flinching every single time.

 

[OMG Aero]

Why, oh why, does Magneton, a Pokemon with a 4x weakness to Ground that, y'know, actually levitates, not get Levitate as an ability?

Probably because it would make Magnezone a bit too good. You can teach it Magnet Rise to do the same thing though.

Also, Miltank hardly used rollout on me at all this game, her strategy this time was using attract and stomp to hit my Pokemon and using milk drink whenever I took away 1/4 of her HP. I had to stack 6 smokescreens from Cyndaquil, paralyse it with Flaafy and confuse it Zubat in order to beat her. And even then I had to to wait for her to waste all 10 of her Milk Drinks and use up a super potion.

Combined with Miltank's high HP and defence it took me, like, 20 minutes to beat one Pokemon.

 

[AKingNamedPaul]

Probably because it would make Magnezone a bit too good. You can teach it Electrolevitate to do the same thing though.

Is that another name for magnet rise?

Never heard of that before.

 

[viciouskillersquirrel]

Same reason Stealth Rock exists

 

[OMG Aero]

Oh yeah, that's magnet rise. I keep getting mixed up between the Japanese and English names.

 

[Crazymoogle]

Brutal stalemate for me in the 3rd badge fight.

Linoone vs. Gengar =_=

Gengar leads off with...Mean Look.

Pretty much had to wait for Gengar to struggle itself to death, but of course the trainer kept trying to helpfully give it Hyper Potions. :lol Linoone was absurdly well rested by the time things were done (I'd guess 3/4ths of all his turns were asleep.)

Also, just for anyone still curious...the DSi XL has been great so far. It really doesn't look it from a distance, but the screens are a LOT bigger. Kinda reminds me of trying LG on the GB Player. :lol

 

[Echoes]

Metroid Killer, Axis; thank you very very much for everything As much as I love the game; I love it even MORE now that I got all these awesome Pokemons.

The game would have never been the same without the awesomeness of you guys. Thank you all from the bottom of my heart *cries*

On another note, I found it funny when I put Snorlax as the lead and he started following me. Never thought of the day in which I'd see Snorlax run :lol
