Pokemon Thread

The program just puts the same thing in the other spot. It doesn't know any better. Anyway, I decided to use the calculator built in to RNG reporter. You can get to it by clicking on "Pokedex-IV Checker"

Where abouts do you find that on the seribil website? I'm up for a battle if anyone wants to take me on (sorry about that last time cause I was busy that time! ^^'') I shall await in the wi-fi club. I am a little nerveous about Gelo's newly trained Garchomp though..

Edit: Never mind it's too late at night for me to battle. :/

If you're asking about the IV calculator, then you look for "Game Mechanics" in the Serebii.net section on the left column of the screen Then, in the right column near the top, it should say "IV calculator" or something like that.

Or you could just go here: http://www.serebii.net/games/iv-calcdp.shtml

Cool and thanks.

I've started a pokemon fic on Serebii since my original one seemed to be getting very little attention. Here's the link if you're interested. http://www.serebiiforums.com/showthread.php?t=534246

That's a really nice story. I hope it gets the attention it deserves.

So far, it hasn't gotten a single post that's not mine.

Still we can only hope it might get some attention. Anyway wanna battle me? I don't mind if you use your Garchomp on me.

I'm in the wi-fi room now if anybody wants to battle or trade.

I would have love to battle you but yeah I was out for the night yesterday. Anyways are you still wanting a battle cause I'm all up for it and I really don't mind you use your garchomp.

No one seems to be posting in this topic so I hope ya'll don't mind for me to double post. I'm having a little trouble with my Watchog. I want it to know some better moves but I have no idea what ones to choose?! Heres a list of it's current moves.

Hypnosis
Cut (Getting rid of that)
Super Fang
Crunch

Any ideas and thanks! ^^'

Watchog is a pretty terrible choice. For any set you can think of, there's probably another pokemon that does it better. I can't think of any competitive movesets that would work. It's got terrible stats, virtually useless abilities, but a moderately large movepool. I would suggest Return over Cut for reliable STAB. After one or two Super Fangs, Return should be able to KO rather easily. That's about all I can think of.

Thanks Gelo. What about Gengar? Does it lack some stats or is it a decent pokemon to use?

Gengar is an amazing special sweeper. Unfortunately, it's very frail, though it can get around that with its speed. Here's the set I use:

Gengar @ Wide Lens / Life Orb
Levitate
Timid
4 HP / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
- Shadow Ball
- Focus Blast
- Thunderbolt
- Destiny Bond

I use Wide Lens because I have Drifblim to pass Calm Mind, but if you have no alternate way of boosting, I would suggest Life Orb. Shadow Ball is STAB, Focus Blast gets nigh-perfect coverage with Shadow Ball and is powerful in general, but with poor accuracy. Thunderbolt is there for excellent coverage. Destiny Bond lets you take out the foe before you faint to score an easy KO, allowing you to safely bring in another one of your pokemon.

Am I the only person who thinks Starapor should have gotten Scrappy as it dream world ability instead of Reckless?

No way. Reckless powers up Brave Bird, which is amazing with a Choice Band. If you really want a pokemon with Scrappy, try Swellow.

Anybody know a good moveset for Magikarp?




And I'm completely serious here.

Splash.

Wait till it, evolves then ask.

Magikarp @ Focus Sash
Swift Swim
Adamant / Jolly
4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spe
- Tackle
- Flail
- Bounce
- Splash

A Focus Sash and Flail coupled with Magikarp's acceptable speed can do some minor damage. Tackle is just there for reliable damage, if you need it. Flail has amazing base power when you're down to one HP by Focus Sash. Bounce is for type coverage and may cause paralysis, which could help Magikarp outspeed stuff. Splash can help save PP of your moves if the opponent is protecting or using a two-turn move, but otherwise, it's pretty useless.

I still wouldn't use that set, though, due to Magikarp's pitiful base 10 attack stat. Gyarados is much more useful.

I would think Gyarados is better then Magikarp anyway cause it's waay more powerful and has a better attack stats.

Does anyone remember The first pokemon Mystery Dungeons? I just digged out my old GBA copy. And I'm on SUCH a nostalgia trip. The music is excellent, the gameplay is challenging, and you can play as freaking DEOXYS if you get late enough post game (And get lucky and recruit him, you also need to complete a hellish, 99 floor dungeon first and recruit lugia D: )

The explorers of time and darkness are also good, but in my opinion, the originals are the best. So if you find red or blue rescue team, buy it. It can be a rather challenging game, but it's worth all the money it probably would cost now.

Yeah, blue rescue team was awesome. I hated all those 99 floor dungeons though. Expeciallly the ones you had to complete twice to befrend any of the pokemon .

I never really played the first ones much, but I played Time tons. Darkrai was my team leader after I got him.

I had Explorers of Times, but a car ran over the game pak. I never played the first ones, but I'll be sure to check it out.


By the way, I got a new DS and Poke'mon White. It's fun, the graphics are amazing, but I'm kinda bogged down in Striaton City because there is almost no Poke'mon to catch around it. :/

I would want to hear how it got run over, but it's much more amusing trying to imagine what could have happened myself.

As for your team problem, have you got the elemental Monkey from the Dreamyard? Talk to someone and he'll give it to you.
