And they only get worse from there.
By the way, caught Lugia this morning. Bastard kept waking up early from sleep every time my Gengar managed to make a substitute and breaking it. I'd just send it to sleep again. Used a bunch of ultras and heavys but no dice. After about twenty minutes or so of this I finally get sick of it and throw a Timer ball and BOOM! Caught.

For those of you who want to participate in an official tournament by Nintendo
Pretty neat prizes and you're almost guaranteed to participate if you show up. No more dumb lottery system like years past.

I've caught all my legendaries using Dusk Ball so far.
I just change my DS' clock to midnight if I'm playing during the day.

I've just begun EV training two of my pokes for the first time and I've gotten them up to level 40 using the daycare center so that they can start from 0 EV.
I've come to understand that you need 4 EV points in order to increase a specific stat by one point.
Example:
bidoof= 2 HP EV
Fight and beat 16 bidoof= 8 HP points
Now if that is right then I'm headed in the right direction. The next thing I'd like to understand is how many stats points you can increase when using all of your EVs.
510 EV(Max EV points for pokemon)/4= 127.5
If that number is correct does that mean that I can manipulate up to 127 of my pokemon's stat points to my choosing?
I hope I got this right.

I guess it's just sheer luck but I've never had trouble catching any legendaries, across all games. The longest I've ever had to spend on a single legendary is maybe 5 minutes. Sometimes I even managed to catch a few on yellow health and no status effects. And no joke, I actually caught Mewtwo in Blue with an Ultra Ball at full health as soon as the battle started... It's actually pretty frustrating since it feels far less rewarding.

Yes, but you can only have a maximum of 255 EVs (63pts) allocated to any one stat before it stops counting. My advice, never give a pokemon more than 252 EVs in any one stat.JosM88 said:
That doesn't matter either if you use the berry trick (i.e. give a pokemon 1 or 2 EVs in an unwanted stat, then EV train as normal and use a stat reducing berry on that unwanted stat when you're done. The berry will force the game to recalculate your EV stat boost.)Kyzer said:

Woo. I got my first item from the Pokéathlon. It's a Thunderstone so I can evolve Pikachu into Raichu. Now I gotta work on leveling my Spinarak and I need to get a Ledyba.

I can't believe I got this system down now.viciouskillersquirrel said:
Yeah, I don't think I'll need to increase any one stat by that many points. I've taken a look at both of my pokes stats and none of them needs THAT much. I'm just going to spread it evenly to get some good speed, defense/sp.defense and attack power.
The hard part is going to be the night of EV training.:lol
thanks

Usual recommendation is to max out your most-used stat, then distribute the rest as you see fit. If your strategy depends on moving first in battle, max out your speed. If you're using a physical attacker, max out Atk.JosM88 said:I can't believe I got this system down now.

Smogon has some EV spread recommendations for each species and strategy. Maybe use that as a starting point. As always, it depends on how you plan to use your pokemon.

I don't think I'll max out any one stat since both of my pokes are great in both areas that I was looking to improve.viciouskillersquirrel said:
With that said...I've been using smogon, serebii and bulbapedia for the last few weeks to learn about STAB moves, tutor moves, poke resistance/advantages and poke potential. I'm really starting to appreciate the fine tuning on the competitive side of this game.

I dont know. That thing looks more like a dinosaur to me. Prehaps he's the ancient ancestor to the sheep. But then, why would Falffy evolve into it's ancestor.....
Ampharos is a evolutionary......time paradox?

The Ampharos line is based on the book "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?"
Maybe they are trying to capture the "evolution" of Rick Deckard's Sheep from a normal living sheep(mareep) to it's death(Flaffy and it's falling wool) and being reborn into something robotic/artificial(ampharos)
I JUST found out you gain 1 BP for each fight in the Trainer's Hall. And, thanks to PAX, I have almost a dozen people wandering around down there with with low levels (there's a guy who only has a level 3 RATTATA). I think I would actually have more but the place seems to cap out.
I'll be battling a friend today, and I wanna surprise him with few things. I want opinions, please. I won't bore you with the EV/IV, just the moves and hold items.
Any feedback is highly appreciated.
Code:
[INDENT][B]Froslass[/B], Focus Sash [I](Lead)[/I][/INDENT]
- Destiny Bond
- Spikes
- Ice Beam
- Taunt
Strategy: I use Destiny Bond at the first turn. After that it's Spikes, and if I can Ice Beam then that's good. If not, Taunt. We're both down.
Code:
[INDENT][B]Ninjask[/B], Focus Sash[/INDENT]
- Swords Dance
- Protect
- Baton Pass
- Sunny Day
Strategy: Sunny Day is just a packup plan, so that Tyranitar's sandstorm won't ruin my vision. Swords Dance the first turn, protect the second turn, Baton Pass the +2 Atk +2 Spe to Drapion.
Code:
[INDENT][B]Drapion[/B], Scope Lens[/INDENT]
- Cross Poison
- Swords Dance
- Night Slash
- Ice Fang
Strategy: physical sweeper. Swords Dance is there for Skarmory or any other Defensive Pokemon that may stall and play defensive (of course, Roar/Whirlwind will still fuck me up).
Code:
[INDENT][B]Dusknoir[/B], Leftovers[/INDENT]
- Gravity
- Earthquake
- Will-o-wisp
- Shadow Sneak
Strategy: Gravity's for Levitate Pokemons as well as flyers (f- you Gyarados!!). Will-o-wisp to cripple any potential physical sweeper like Scizor. Shadow Sneak to get a quick KO after an Earthquake.
Code:
[INDENT][B]Espeon[/B], Leftovers[/INDENT]
- Calm Mind
- Psychic
- Substitute
- Baton Pass
Strategy: Substitute on a switch, Calm Mind as much as possible, annoy with Psychic and/or Baton Pass to Gengar.
Code:
[INDENT][B]Gengar[/B], Life Orb[/INDENT]
- Shadow Ball
- Thunderbolt
- Focus Blast
- Explosion
Strategy: Sweep. When in doubt, explode :lolAny feedback is highly appreciated.

I'm not sure Ninjask is all that useful for your team. The only physical sweeper (meaning not Dusknoir lol) is Drapion and it already has Swords Dance. So who is going to benefit from the Attack boosts?
Spikes are nice but you should almost always throw in Stealth Rock somewhere on a team because the move is just that good.
Your team could also use a Steel type if only for the Dragon resistance and Dark resistance. Skarmory over Ninjask would improve the team somewhat since your team could also benefit from a pseudo-hazer with the entry hazards.

Echoes said:
Upon second glance, I'm not sure I like BP Espeon either. :< The two Pokemon that can benefit most from its boosts are your two fragile Ghosts unless you want the extra bulk for Dusknoir.
And DD/Taunt Gyarados gives the team a lot of trouble if it gets a single turn to DD. Starmie over Espeon? I just saw that your team has no Fire resist and Choice Scarf Heatran spamming a Fire attack could be very annoying (only thing that could remotely switch in safely is Dusknoir and it can't switch in multiple times with Leftovers being the only recovery method).
Of course, that would give you a bit of an Electric weak...leading me to further bog-standardizing your team with a Swampert recommendation over Froslass. :lol
Sorry. :/

Does anyone happen to have a Jolly ditto they don't need? I can't stand the randomness of not being able to use the everstone when breeding.

Is the Gengar with the moves you want to breed male?GaimeGuy said:

TM moves should pass provided the Gengar with the moves is male and Gastly can learn the TMs.
The level move can only pass if both parents have the move and the baby can learn it.
Tutor moves won't be passing unless it's an egg move.
Don't worry man, I'm open to all suggestions. Even a team of 6 recommended solely by you (or any other experienced player) is totally fine. I know my team has a lot of holes though. (Watch the video I posted couple of posts behind you. That team was either kill or be killed.)Little Green Yoda said:
I may use Forretress. I used him in the battle posted above and he was quite supportive.
