I just can't imagine how good or bad that would be for Vaporeon. Also the Dratini that I got from Gelo is now a Dragonite. It also knows these for move sets.

Dragon Rush
Agility
Safe Guard
Draco Meteor

I think Dragonite is slow so agility would be a nice boost to it. Safeguard would help it from being status inflicted from the opponet. Dragon Rush is a powerful move to have along with Draco Meteor but it reduces sp.attack harshly unless I give it a mental herb or something for it to hold.

Dragonite is much better at physical attacks than special, so it's probably a better idea to use Outrage over Draco Meteor. Dragon Dance would be better over Agility as it increases its already incredible Attack as well as Speed. You might want to consider adding in Earthquake for good type coverage and/or Superpower for similar coverage.

Anyway, I'm glad to see you putting that Dratini to good use.

Hello, I've been playing White for a while. I don't really have much of a "team" yet I'm just sort of running around catching stuff. I got a Simisage, Mienshao, Heatmor, Cofagrigus, Sigilyph, and Carracosta. My real team is back in Leafgreen and Emeraldm because all my Generation 4 games were stolen. Though if guys ever battled me you'd learn my favorite pokemon are Dunsparce and Swampert. I ALWAYS have them in a team

Another bit off-topic thing, I am starting a new Saphire file and I am using ONLY bug-types.

Thanks. I'm rasing nearly all my pokemon to lv 50 and some to 60. My Gallade and Gardevior are both at lv 100 and they know some pretty decent moves.

Gallade
Close Combat
Calm Mind
Double Team
Psycho Cut

Gardevior
Magical Leaf (Handy aganist water and ground types!)
Calm Mind
Psychic
Giga Impact (Surprisingly good at using that move)

I suppose they are okay moves to have on them.

The only thing I see is that Gallade should probably have Swords Dance instead of Calm Mind, and Gardevoir should have Hyper Beam instead of Giga Impact (they have the same effect, but GI is physical and HB is special). Gardevoir and Gallade are some of my favorite pokemon, by the way.

And if you ask me, replace magical leaf with energy ball, it can learn it via TM.

Interesting fact: I'm training both a Gardevoir and a Gallade. Gardevoir on Black, Gallade on HeartGold. I should probably transfer that soon.

And as for a Gardevoir moveset: Change Magical Leaf for Thunderbolt (Ground types are physical attackers; you shouldn't be going against them anyway), and change Hyper Beam/Giga Impact for Shadow Ball. The recharge turn is not worth it.

But I used them against physical opponets loads of times and they've always managed to be fine. Besides I use the two of them for double battles and they always cover each others weakness. For example, if a flying type came at Gallade, Gardivor would defeat it by using psychic. If a dark type came at Gardivor, Gallade can defeat it by using close combat. Still I appreciate you guys for giving me advice on movesets but I'm happy enough with them.

Right now I'm breeding for a Trick Room Reuniclus. Wish me luck.

Very good luck to you, Ferrety. I'm sure you will destroy everything in your path when you're finished.

I'm sure I will too. Right now I'm doing the breeding with no Power items (Need to do Battle subway for them, can't really be bothered for that), so I'll need to rely on the Speed IV (Which is 1, by the way) being passed naturally. Then theres the 50% chance of the Everstone working and the 50% chance of Magic Guard. Right now I have 3 Solosis with the right nature and ability, and I haven't checked IVs yet.

Lol I wish you luck with that. As for me I finally got my Thunderus that I wanted all along thanks to Shadow. ^^ I have this odd question. When ever you catch a pokemon, sometimes the ball will shake once and bam instant capture! It happend to me a few times but I want to know has that happend with any of you before?

Yes, it has happened.

That's called a critical capture. It's a game mechanic that they introduced in gen V. Sort of like a critical hit, except for capturing.

Something fairly interesting happened a while ago. I was EVing my Solosis in Special Attack against Litwick. About four or so in, a Shiny appeared. One Ultra ball later, my first random shiny in years. Bad nature and wrong ability, but a random shiny. I don't plan to evolve it, by the way.

So yeah. I have a Shiny Litwick.

Ferrety, you so lucky. My last random shiny was a Roselia, and I have to admit, it looked pretty sweet. One of its roses was black and the other was purple. It's still sitting in my Pearl doing nothing, so I should probably transfer it...

As for your Litwick, definitely evolve it. Litwick and Lampent's shiny forms are too subtle, but Chandelure looks like a friggin Jack-o-lantern.

I'm not going to evolve my Litwick. I will, however, use it to find my SID. Hooray for Battle Subway setting everything to Level 50!

What's SID?

Secret ID.

Ah. I thought there were calculators for figuring that out? Or do you need to do something on the Battle Subway to figure it out?

Also, what do you use your SID for?

The Subway is so I can get to Level 50 so I can get the IVs so I can input them into the calculator.

And your SID can be used for PRNG Abuse.

PRNG Abuse?

Random Number Generator abuse. Good for finding shinies, I think.

Yep. Random Number Generators, while seemingly random, always have a set pattern, as true randomness is impossible for a computer to do. Because of this, if you know how the RNG determines it's 'random' numbers, it can be possible to manipulate them to give the desired result. The RNG used in Pokemon is no different, and can be manipulated to give the number you want, or in this case, Pokemon with perfect IVs and/or shinyness. The reason I need my SID is because that's used in determining whether a Pokemon is shiny or not.
