How bad is it to your Pokemon to level a low level one using Exp Share on say level 40 stuff? I notice when my Pikachi levels in the teens he tends to get a max on 2 on each stats, generally was just 1.
I'm not really looking to do battles online right now, but I don't want a weak ass Pikachu,

There is nothing detrimental about it. You can get a pokemon like pikachu to level 40 in half an hour using exp. share on the elite four alone. That doesn't take away from training for your other pokemon if it's only for 30-60 minutes.nastynate409 said:
The pokemon you use for battling purposes still manage to get half xp as well too.

I thought it was something to do with EVs and stuff. I'm still confused on a lot of this stuff, lol.JosM88 said:
The reason he is getting lower numbers added to his stats is because you are fighting less Pokemon. Say if experience from a battle with one level 40 Pokemon takes it from level 1 to level 10, if you were training against Pokemon it's own levels then you would be fighting upwards of 15 Pokemon to do it.nastynate409 said:
Since it is fighting less Pokemon it is gaining less EVs, but this will fix itself as it gets to higher levels.

I think I have the best fucking Charizard of all time. I just need someone to tell me how to figure out Hidden Power's type. I know it has something to do with IV or EV but I don't know how exactly. My friend was talking about it yesterday and it seems cool albeit very hard to pull.

All pokemon start off by gaining low amounts of points even if you were to use exp. share while battling against level 70 npc's. The one thing that can be affected is EV(Effort value) gains.nastynate409 said:
I wouldn't worry about that at all with your first pikachu though. I've just finished my training my fifth pokemon for online battling and I'm clocking at 216 hours so far. You will probably want to replace all your pokemon once you see that they have detrimental natures too(A nature that lowers defense and increases speed on a golem would be useless right?).
Here is a list of natures and how they affect your pokemon's performance. You can choose see if your pokemon has a nature that makes sense to you.

Saw an advert for this last night on the telly (UK). Had some girl talking about her Chansey, about how it was her favourite 'mon back with GSC on the good ol' GBC. Weird thing about the ad? Showed NOTHING of HG/SS, aside from the boxart. Didn't even mention the Pokewalker.
Weird, but totally awesome in a way.

3 1/2 hours in & 2 Gym badges. :lol
PokeWalker levelling is great for gamers without much time to play.
Yeah - seen a few of those. Chansey is SUCH an odd Pokemon to choose for an advert that only shows the retro graphics - it is the mother Pokemon though so maybe they are appealing to that side.

Awesome Echoes :lol
I still remember when I caught my shiny Skarmory on Sapphire, I didn't even notice it was shiny 'til I got back to the PKMN centre :lol
Shiny Roserade is awesome though

I'm playing casual style and seeing if I can rush tackle the game while blogging (badly) about it. 30 mins a day is my limit (but the gym leader took me 9 mins over today).
I was done with Pokemon for this gen, but the PokeWalker was such an interesting angle (and I have 1.5 million steps on my activity meter) that I had to give it a shot.

I actually ran into a shiny haunter in the ruins after you get Giratina a few weeks ago and I accidentally ran away from it...
Fucking shinies never come to me. I'VE GOT OVER 1000 HOURS COMBINED THROUGHOUT MY POKECAREER THIS IS BULLSHIT!

Echoes said:Not the best Charizard
It's Grass. I mean, why would I use a Grass Hidden Power if I have Thunderpunch (with Move Tutor) that hits both Water and Flying?
Well, at least I have a near-perfect-IV shiny Charizard. That's enough.
Grass is pretty useful against Swampert who laughs at Thunderpunch. Did you RNG that? If not, you're pretty damn lucky. If so, why aren't you going for a Hidden Power that you want?
No, I got it before knowing about RNG. You have a good point though, Swampert is a bitch. So should I keep it? Would be great just for the element of surprise (in which I already killed for the tournament but what the hell).Little Green Yoda said:
I'm learning RNG bit by bit but damn it's complicated.

Beat Chuck. Was 2 EZ. Used ninetails' will-o-wisp to cut both his poke's attack in half; making them pretty useless and finished off that bulky tadpole with flaffy's thunder.
Jasmine was a bit of a joke :/. Flamethrower + Feraligatr surf = GGs.
Currently dinking around before the ice gym. I think I'm going to drop ninetails for nidoking. Ninetails is cool, but its mediocre sp. attack and the fact that it only learns flamethrower (I don't have access to energy ball/dark pulse TMs) kinda sucks. Will-o-wisp is really good though.... HMMMMMM.......

I think I found a shiny Banette back when I was playing diamond. I traded it away though. I also had a shiny salamence.
And back in the day I had a shiny steelix on silver.
Finding out about rng abuse in the new games takes away some of the magic tho

Nah it's all cool man, the other day I decided I'll just stop using repels completely until I see a shiny.Echoes said:
You keep doing what you're doing or whatever, I'll be swimming in shinies in no time.
No time.
And I'm gonna send you a PM for every one.
Too bad PMs are limited to 1000.

I never use repel unless I'm going for something specific and don't wanna waste time on battles, but when just traveling around the land, I'll just run away if I don't want to battle.
To sonicspear and Jos, I just sent you a pm, but it's getting late and I'm going to bed, there's always a day tomorrow sorry.

Anyone got a modest Staryu they can give me?
I don't have much to offer except a couple Adamant Elekids.
And I know its a lot to ask and I don't expect anyone to help me on this one, but would it be possible for someone to give/lend me a few power items to help ease the EV training for my poker mans? I would need Atk/SpAtk/Spe.
I'd appreciate any and all help.

Anyone have a Shiny Stone I could get? I can grind a Water Stone for you or I have a Moon Stone in my inventory I will trade. I really want to evolve my Togetic.
