Nothing feels better than to Close Combat with Lucario against a team of 3 normals! Fuck yeah! 
Also got the Shiny Leaf Crown earlier today, so I just need to fill the pokedex and geat a 100 battle streak at the Battle Tower to fill out my Trainer Card

Wow, yeah, thinking about it now and it seems Lucario would do very well.
Here's my moveset: Swords Dance, Crunch, Extremespeed, Close Combat. Holding Focus Sash. Ability: Steadfast (not Inner Focus).
A lot of you might disagree about my choices but, a Focus Sash will let me endure a hit and do a Swords Dance, and then attempt to sweep with my moves. Ice- or Thunder Punch might be good replacing SD, though. The ability would be good as it will raise my Speed upon facing a Fake Out, which are common in the tower. Inner Focus might be better, but I like Steadfast.
Yeah, I think Lucario > Primeape in this regard. While I don't have a U-Turn, that's totally acceptable as Crunch beats Punishment (just OHKO Haunter with it; Punishment never OHKO anything), and Extremespeed is so nice because more often than not you will leave a foe with little to no HP, so a priority move is the best in this situation.
Edit: A word of advice, lead with Garchomp for Palmer2 round. Reason is, if he started with Heatran then your Lucario is pretty much dead, even with a Focus Sash. He holds a Focus Sash, so a CC won't kill him. However, his Magma Storm (or whatever the move is) hits twice in the turn. Once when he uses it, and then before ending the turn (just like Fire Spin), therefore you won't stand a chance.

Prowled through the first 3 rounds and Palmer1 easily. Lucario and Starmie are both awesome pokemons for the Battle Tower. However my Garchomp is disappointing me at times and I'm even using Choice Band on it now compared to other times I've used this Garchomp here, I guess I'm just unlucky and have faced a lot of defense walls or something.
Gonna take a break from the Tower for now... Though there are some things I don't understand about streaks and using the same pokemon.
Yesterday I wanted to test my Drapion in combat and teamed it together with Garchomp and Starmie for a Battle Tower run. I noticed that the first couple of battles were pretty tough, with strong stage 2 pokemon all over the place. When I then won the 7th battle I got 5 Battle Points instead of the usual 3 BP... I have never used a Drapion in the Battle Tower before, so I must have picked up from a previous run or something?(previous team was Garchomp, Starmie and Mamoswine).
You can't change your team or you'll lose your streak, right? Howcome I got 5 BP instead of 3? What can I change between rounds? Held items? Moves? Can I changed my Garchomp into a Garchomp I got from a friend??

CoolS said:So, I have two Master Balls. For which legendaries schould I use them? Latias? Entei & Raikou? Mewtwo? I seriously don't know.
And I don't know how I'll ever find thos elegendaries who are running around constantly
Don't bother using it on any legendary, you can reset at any stationary one and the roaming ones are far easier to run into in HG/SS than G/S/C.
Save them for shiny Pokemon, just think how much you'll rue using your Master Balls when you run into a shiny Pokemon with Roar/Whirlwind/Self Destruct/Explode or you run out of balls.

Still around? When will you be available to trade over the weekend?
PokéGAF, does Kricketot get better at higher levels? I have one at just level 9, and I was hoping she'd get another move soon. The only ones available currently are Growl and Bide.
I could've searched on the 'net for the answer, but I don't want to spoil much for myself. I'm fairly new to this. I'm having fun, though.

Timid or Modest Starmie? Speed or Power? I can't decide... I'm gonna use Expert Belt on it as well

Ok so to cut time I'm gonna ask if anyone is willing to breed me a Timid Staryu with Natural Cure. Bonus points for having Psychic, Thunderbolt and Ice Beam passed down.Echoes said:
I have the Japanese Version which means it'll gain 1.7x exp. Tell me what you want and I'll most likely be able to breed it and voila!

So I'm looking at upping my togepi, got him a few levels up from the pokewalker, just not sure what the easiest way to make him happy is.

The perfect Staryu that I needed: Check! All 4 moves that I want for it. Check! Fucking water stone attached to it. Check! o_ÕNayishiki said:
Stop being so nice Nayishiki! It's too much! I can't take it anymore!
My first loss with Lucario. EVERYTHING was designed to counter me.
Arcanine 2HKO Lucario
Granbull OHKO Starmie with Thunder Punch
Tauros 2HKO Garchomp with... Outrage? Didn't even know this little fucker could learn Outrage! :lol
The most cheating piece of shit in the gaming industry.

I sure am looking forward to the fun time I'm gonna have in the Tower... huh, why was it that I chose to do this?Echoes said:
finalozzo: yes, Palmer is in there
What I do is let Togepi the first in the party while holding Soothe Bell, and just walk around Goldenrod downwards to the breeding route and vice versa, for 30 minutes. Then check its happiness. Usually that will get her to max. I evolved mine at Lv6.Adamm said:

They are kinda the complete opposite. Exeggcutor has slow speed, but great attack and HP, whereas Jumpluff has Great speed, ok defense and bad attack.cory said:
With Sunny Day you can double Exeggcutor's speed(if it has the ability Chlorophyll) and then it's as fast as Jumpluff. Exeggcutor also has the most weaknesses in the game... So it kinda depends on what you are gonna use it for.
Edit:
Ah, sorry I'm just about to finish beating the E4, it'll take around 5-10 mins though.finalozzo said:
