why not? On shoddy a lot of players killed my mence with ice shard, my mence has focus sash, and hardly i've killed the opponent with only one move.Firestorm said:.. you wouldn't really live long enough to KO Salamence with it anyway.

Meh...I've never really cared for Salamence anyways.
I do find the decision a bit silly, but I guess smogon did it so that people wouldn't have to worry about using at least two pokemon in order to take it out(outside of ice moves I don't think anything can one hit KO without setup). Correct me if I'm wrong though.
I haven't used Suicune in a long time either, but there is no way that it outclasses Salamence.
Mush said:Yeah hi. It's me again, that annoying demanding dude.
Would anyone happen to have a Energy Ball TM?
Poor Salamence.Lone_Prodigy said:So much outrage over Salamence.
Yeah, it's not that dangerous of a pokemon if you've got at least two pokemon with ice moves and a stealth rock set up. I have to agree with the Garchomp comment though. I remember reading somewhere on the internet that Garchomp was so powerful that people decided to make their own counterchomps as insurance.:lolWiseblade said:You're right, but Salamence was only that threatening in specific cirumstances. Salamence isn't that easy to bring in properly and often ends up dying pretty quickly with stealth rock and life orb damage racking up. Probably the most destructive Mence set, DDmence needed one turn of set up. It's not too hard to sniff out the dance and use that turn to switch in something with ice shard to kill it or scare it out. if you can't do that then locking it into outrage and using one of those steel types the metagame loves so much to kill it works too. At any rate, Mence doesn't have anything near the guaranteed kill power or invincibility of Garchomp.
Doesn't take hours. All you need to do is get to the upper levels and the coins start racking up.Thagomizer said:Is there any way to get coins besides that ridiculous game? I'd rather not play that game for hours and hours just so I can get Thunderbolt...

Use an online solver or something.
AdventureRacing said:Salamence is a really ugly pokemon who epitomises what i hate about recent pokemon design (particularly his gen not so much gen IV). Plus he stopped people from using the infinetly more awesome dragonite.
It still takes forever even with a solver, as even then it's never a sure thing.viciouskillersquirrel said:Doesn't take hours. All you need to do is get to the upper levels and the coins start racking up.

That's only coz you RNG-spam the Elite 4. Money was a serious problem for me when it came to EV training (since I like to pack the targets full of vitamins prior to grinding and those are like 10 grand a piece).Sixfortyfive said:It still takes forever even with a solver, as even then it's never a sure thing.
Not being able to buy coins directly is probably the worst change they made for this game. I've usually got a spare ~$2 million just sitting around and not being used for anything.
You need to stick with it. As long as you know how to add in your head and know to look for certain patterns (eg. a row where the Points (P) plus bombs (B) adds up to five can be ignored immediately, a row with P+B of six and one bomb has at least one 2, a row with P+B of seven with one bomb has a 3 in it etc.), you eventually get faster than a solver.Thagomizer said:Since that post, I've been using a solver, and have earned ~900 coins.
...yeah, fuck this shit.
I can probably breed something quick.Mush said:Before PureAuthor notices,does anyone have a Gible they want to offload? Doesn't need to be anything special.;P

Thought they would have thrown up the latias/os orb thing
perfectchaos007 said:speaking of, when can an American ever get Arceus? I don't know of any theatres that showed that pokemon movie and the DVD doesn't come out until October. I guess a Wi-Fi event couldn't be bundled in a DVD
I miss E-reader cards. Thats how I got my latios in Ruby
Toys-R-Us was giving Arceus out last fall for two weeks.perfectchaos007 said:speaking of, when can an American ever get Arceus? I don't know of any theatres that showed that pokemon movie and the DVD doesn't come out until October. I guess a Wi-Fi event couldn't be bundled in a DVD

Loved the credits. Now, to Kanto
I think you need to beat Red to get that.Slermy said:So I finally beat the first Elite Four. I haven't ventured to the Kanto Gyms yet but have a question. Were my pokémon supposed to have gotten a champ ribbon for beating the Elite Four? Or is that only after you've beaten all 16 gym leaders and fight them again?
I never really felt the need to buy Vitamins. pokerus+ power items means that one pight gives the same amount of EVs, so I just kept my money for TMs and other random crap.viciouskillersquirrel said:That's only coz you RNG-spam the Elite 4.
