Muscle/Traded in Goldenrod Department Store level 5 with a Drowsee is actually good against Whitney. I failed two times because we traded blows and her Milktank finally flinched me and took me out the next turn, but after that I rocked her ass hard with Karate Chop action. :lol
Also got a high level Spearow from the dude north of Goldenrod, evolved it into a Fearow, bred it for my own gain (have to give it back to a dude on route 31 to deliver the message), and have two eggs (seems Ditto and "Kenya" got extremely busy while I was at the Pokeathon, oh those crazy kids).
Need to do some more of the game in a little bit. :lol
I don't know what's wrong with me but I have been putting off playing the game. I have just been looking at Serebii's pokedex looking for Pokemon I want on my final team. Right now I have these guys in mind
Typhlosion
Heracross
Red Gyarados
Honchkrow (maybe, I don't know if I can easily get a Dusk Stone)
Ampharos
Any suggestion for last Pokemon? I'm not looking for anything competitive, just a Pokemon that I can easily find and that looks cool. I'm thinking Steelix, but still I have to evolve him and it's pretty hard.

I took down Morty's Gengar easily by
Seriously, I had much more trouble with Morty's
stalling out his Sucker Punch with Pidgeotto's Sand Attack. Sucker Punch only has 5 PP so after those 5 uses, I just Gusted it over and over. Having a Normal type in your party is key.

Buh?
I could swear the Pokedex says there is a few in the Lighthouse/fifth,sixth gym area along with Onix.
But honestly, you can get Onix EXTREMELY early in a Bellspout for Onix trade at the first gym (Eucreak?) town. I've been rocking him in my team since, I just need the Steel Coat (I think Scyther comes with one?) item to trade him to my Platinum and back for a Steelix.

@EvilMario: thanks for the tip. Didn't know about the secondary ability of Butterfree. Now I have to go look for one.
Crap sorry I missed this, my FC is 1419 8897 5769, just hit me back with yours and I can trade whenever you want.

I've been grinding in Victory Road so much I know the layout like the back of my hand. :lol Good thing though is my Gyarados is almost lvl 50.

Tell me about it! I grinded Victory Road so much I ended up with a Shiny Golbat!Andrex said:I've been grinding in Victory Road so much I know the layout like the back of my hand. :lol Good thing though is my Gyarados is almost lvl 50.
Right now I'm trying to get a fucking female Combee! Argh how rare can they bee? I've been breeding for an hour now and got half a box full of male combee goddammit! :lol
Edit: And the second after I hit reply a female Combee hatches! Woohoo!!
You got a different water type? I knew before I started the game that I would have a Vaporeon on my team. So awesome.Gravijah said:
Go with Umbreon though. I used him on my very first Silver playthrough I think, and he was pretty awesome.
I feel really really stupid because I just found out I had Shadow Claw in my TMs all along. Morty will be dead in no time!
Been playing the coin flip right now. I got to level 4 and have around 420 coins. Not bad. At first the game was really hard, but then when I started marking the cards with bombs, it kinda made it easier. Now the only thing is when they give me no free rows, I have no clue how to begin it.

I have a Slowpoke too, but that doesn't stop me!Gravijah said:
I just noticed and I'll probably get a Jolteon again now. Man I always end up with Jolteon
Actually... this requires further thought. If I get rid of Slowpoke instead... argh. I'm having two water types and that's it.
By the way as expected, Morty's down. I'm still pissed though because he used Hypnosis maybe 8 times and it worked for ALL 8. This game is fucking broken oh my god. I ended up winning with only my Quilava at 12 health.

So for these lvl 33 Ursarings I keep encountering, on one I used Hydro Pump with Gyarados and it got him down to the yellow. But Aqua Tail OHKOs them. :lol Really didn't think it'd be that obvious.
On that note Waterfall wasn't as great as I thought it'd be. Still better than Hydro Pump though, and it does have great accuracy.
Wonder which physical Dragon attack I should make him re-learn, as Hyper Beam is probably a joke as well...

Finally picked out the team I'm gonna complete the main quest with: Kangaskhan, Togepi, Eevee, Magnemite, Tentacool, and Vulpix. Naturally gonna evolve those last five. Also nice to continue my tradition of ditching Gen 2 starters.
Well if Espeon isnt an option, I'd go for Umbreon.Gravijah said:

I was having a tough time with it until I started thinking about the game with respect to multipliers instead of bombs. Up to level 7 right now...sucks how you can't save your progress; you always have to start at level 1.
Yep. First I was thinking of how many Voltrobs there are. Then I realized that just adding the numbers and figuring out the missing number is much better.Little Green Yoda said:
But such a cheap trick that if you quit you go back to level 1. BTW anyone know how do you lose a level? I was struggling with level 3 and the game just put me back into level 2.

If you lose or quit too many times, you get demoted. Just picked up 729 coins on level 6.
Right now my team consists of:
*Feraligatr
*Pidgeot
*Ampharos
*Larvitar (in the process of evolving this dude)
*And two HM slaves
For the Elite 4 and Champion I'll have the first four (instead of Larvitar I'll have Tyranitar), probably either Rapidash or Ho-Oh (probably Rapidash since I want to beat it without using a legendary this time), and... I don't know. Any suggestions? I was thinking about using Mamoswine but I've never used an ice type Pokémon before in a big battle so I don't know if that's a good choice or not.

You mean rows/columns that have 0 Voltorbs? Nope. :/
I'm resorting to educated guessing with a lot of these in the beginning. For example, blindly clicking squares with a 10/1 row with a 7/1 column. I think I've gotten lucky on a few 50/50 chances on this streak though. I just know I'm going to lose because one of those. :lol
Damn, I've narrowed down my level 7 game to a 3x3 grid with 3 multipliers left. Not sure if I want to risk my 162 current coins to gun for level 8. But I don't want to get demoted for quitting too many times. >_<
Hm... seems like I'd want a nature that lowers speed and raises atk, def or sp def for my Umbreon. Still trying to figure this out.
Note: This Umbreon is for in game fun use only, so while I want to get a good nature, I don't really care too much about the BEST nature. And then of course I'll want good IVs...

Man that's exactly what I do. Matching up the ones with high numbers with other ones. Generally it works.
So what's the highest level anyone on GAF got to? I wanna know if it's possible to get to something like level 10 cause the TM prices are insane.
EDIT: Gravijah, Relaxed and Sassy might help you. The both lower speed, Relaxed increases Def while Sassy increases Sp Def. Though they really might not be the best natures I would go with one that increases Sp. Def so you can just use Curse. Even things up.

As long as you can cover for the weakness you'll be fine, that rule isn't absolute. You'll find Pokémon sharing types even in some teams that are used competitively.
Feraligatr can be used in a similar fashion though, so if you go with DD Gyarados you might want to set Feraligatr apart with another moveset entirely.

Okay, down to a 2x2 grid with two multipliers left. 50% chance of netting 1296 coins and moving to level 8. 50% chance of losing my current 324 coins.
Those are good odds to go for it, right?:lol

So I've just beaten Morty, and gone out into route 38 were I ran into a magnemite that I caught. So should I replace Flaffy with it? On one hand, Magnemite evolves into the superior Magnezone, on the other hand Flaffy is trained to a decent level and on the freakish third hand, Flaffy has done fine so far

My rule for main game team is: Pokemon that I think look cool/interesting/fun to play with. If that means having some pokemon bad stats or two of the same type, so what? I'm still having fun and since the game isn't harder than it is, pretty much any team will work anyway.

Wow, this is BS. I lost my level 7 game and dropped to level 6. I lost on the level 6 game clicking a 7/1 and 6/1 intersection. Then I get dropped to level 1. WTF?
Why would you do that?
Member
I've gotta say, I don't like the... Abilities? I don't know what they're called.
I mean the thing where, if you touch a Pokemon with poison quills, you'll be poisoned, or if you touch an Electric one, you'll be paralyzed.
I feel like it's a little unfair, especially if you're in a cave or forest, or on a field, without a Pokemon center.

Dont think in terms of free rows with 0 voltorbs, they give you free rows without even realizing it.
2/3 3/2 and 4/1 are all rows that you can mark as either having a Voltorb or a 1 in every square and then ignore those for the rest of the game, you'll never have a multiplier in those rows. Same if you happen to find a 2 multiplier in a 5/1 row, ignore the rest of that row.
It's when I get down to 4 tiles, where I know there are two multipliers left in opposite corners that I sweat as it's a 50/50 chance of success.
