Is there any way for me to breed a Jirachi. I got my Jirachi via trade and I hate the fact that it EXPs faster.

 

[Wiseblade]

Three more Flame works for today. Banette was a bitch to make, for some reason the hardest ghost pokemon to get 'right' so far. It probably took twice the time compared to the other two combined.

Shuppet looks great!

To be honest, I couldn't get one with the right nature and great IVs, so I chose the lesser evil, a Naive natured (+Speed -SpDef) one. Its SpDef IV is 24, so it's not that bad after all. I have to keep trying to get better Pokémon, but I have to admit I enjoyed the process of obtaining a good monster. If we ever hold another contest, I'll try my best to get a better pokémon.

Btw, Wiseblade, I did see your PM, but I answered in the thread, in case I didn't make it clear (don't want you to think I didn't bother to answer your PM).

That's a pretty good nature. That way Tyranitar outspeeds Azelf, Starmie and Gengar after a Dragon Dance and OHKOs with Crunch. Including Scizor, that's four Pokémon usually used to stop T-tar easily dealt with. That set is beastly.

The stat boost is distributed as you continue to level up:

80 EVs @ level 5 = 1 stat point (approximate)
80 EVs @ level 50 = 10 stat points (approximate)
80 EVs @ level 100 = 20 stat points.

If I only get a certain amount of EVs at level 40 does that mean that the other EVs I should have gained will come at the next level even if I wasn't EV training for that stat anymore?

example:
EV training for HP=9 bidoof with macho brace/pokerus=9HP EV distributed over the course of level 40/41 even if I didn't fight any bidoof at level 41.

How does anyone manage to get their poke to such high levels without any pokemon battles?

It increases the higher the level you are. Otherwise you could get a level 5 pokemon with ridiculous stats.

If you raise your pokemon to level 100 you will see the full benefits.

Yeah, I'm aware of that concept and that's why I leveled my poke to level 40 expecting to get good returns. Oh well...

Nope, as far as I know Jirachi can only be obtained as an event pokemon meaning all Jirachi will get exp boost (unlike mascot/roamer legendaries for example)

Oak's phone calls get more and more nonsensical each time I'm finding. :lol

My favorites are the calls from a girl that says stuff like "I thought I saw a Rattata, but it turned out to be Azumarill! Darn!"

Really? You mistook a two and a half foot tall round blue rabbit for one foot tall purple mouse?

I've just had 4-5 !! Pikachus flee from me within the past 10 minutes. I've never had them flee before...

Good work on those MK, the Shuppet one is AWEEEESOME

Bannette and Rotom look like drawings from a children's story book. I'm still gonna rock the ghastly one though.

very cool indeed.

The best way is to not think about stat gains at all.

Just remember that w/e EVs you accumulate for a Pokemon are tracked. Each time that Pokemon levels up, the game throws the EVs/IVs/nature/etc. into a formula and recalculates the stats. So as long as you're getting the right EVs, don't worry about the "+X" graphic at all.

If you really enjoy seeing that graphic though, you can always cram as much EVs as possible before the stat gets recalculated. That way when it does recalculate, the difference will be much greater. Placing a Pokemon in the PC will recalculate stats though.

EV reducing berries and vitamins also lead to stat recalculation but I don't know if all stats are recalculated or just the one related to the berry/vitamin.

Entei is starting to give me a headache now, 1hp, asleep and locked into battle with Mean Look and he's still being a complete asshole.

*throws Fast Ball at start of fight* - Doesn't even shake once
*throws Ultra Ball* - Doesn't even shake once
*throws Dusk Ball at 11pm* - Doesn't even shake once
*throws Heavy Ball* - Shakes twice
ENTEI woke up!
ENTEI used Roar!

I can't even catch up with him any more. Paralyzed (which was an accident when I first happened upon him - stupid Pikachu) and down to 1hp (thanks to False Swipe).

I did catch Raiku though. It's funny lookin'.

Entei always ran on my two turns after using Mean Look. :/

But I eventually caught that jerk. :lol

I caught em with a fast ball on my first encounter with him. After getting my fourth/fifth badge. Lucky me. :lol

A "collector" in the Battle Frontier just told me that "My buddies and I came up with this team over the internet, it took us all day!" :lol

I need explaination and how this could happen:
It's my first encounter with Entei
My level 42 Butterfree goes first. Uses Sleep Powder. ENTEI falls asleep.
ENTEI flees! (don't remember if a Roar caused it).

It's friggin asleep, didn't wake up, and halfway through turn one, it's gone.

Ever heard of sleepwalking?

Joke aside Entei is a huge pain in the ass.
My Snorlax prevents him from fleeing:Entei uses roar

Oh gawd..does anyone have a decent Palkia for trade? I know that's a huge request but i'd have to restart freaking Platinum to get one that is the right nature for the Regionals.

Did you already get Palkai from the Arceus event?

 

[OMG Aero]

Silver was definitely superior in the UK at least.

 

[Metroid Killer]

Damn it! What about Japan? There has to be at least one region where they understand the true meaning of pokemon!

Thanks for all the nice words btw! Only encourages me to do better!

Not unless you're willing to concede that

Red > Blue
Gold > Silver
Ruby > Sapphire

He gives you one of them. Then if you catch all three legendary birds the Silph Co. president gives you a Hoenn starter.

Huh, he wouldn't show up for me until I caught Zapdos (last of the three.)

Actually, i have Zapdos but not the other 2. But it didn't activate until i beat him.

Maybe it has something to do with the malfunctioning elevator door and Zapdos.

Who are you using Mean Look with? They probably learn Taunt too. Use Taunt so he can't use Roar.

I've been thinking about it all day and this is the only idea that made sense to me. If I train against enough pokes to gain +25 EV points then I should see them all at once or at small intervals(5 or 6) through five or six levels.

Time to test this idea next.:lol

Wow I hatched two Ralts with good natures in a row (Jolly and Adamant)! Now the problem is choosing which one is gonna be a better Gallade.

Ok for the Adamant it's 15/15/15/20/14/25 and for Jolly it's 15/15/15/4/14/9. Well... time to get to breeding! :lol
