Team Updates

Hey!

I could use some help in picking my team here I have:

Quilava
Noctowl
Haunter
Flaafy
Onix

All at level 25 and then I am using Ratatta for cut/rock smash, I have in the box Togepi, Scyther, Geodude, Hoppip, Vulpiz, Sudowodoo and Abra in the box so far.

Open to catching as well of course, only just after beating Morty though. I was thinking maybe evolving a magikarp?

Hmmm, maybe aim for a Poliwrath? Water/Fighting are types you don't have and it will give you some good physical support which at the moment you'd only really get from Onix.

I was thinking that too, but, I only have an old rod and no surfer so is it worth getting and evolving a magikarp to teach it to surf to catch a poliwag?

You can still get them with an Old Rod. It's just a one in twenty chance.

I guess I still had Crystal on the brain seeing as I remember finding Poliwag in the grass back then.

There're poliwags in at least one of the first 4 Walker courses. While you're thinking about what you need to round out your team you could pace around the room a bit and build up some Watts

I may well do that,do you have to use the PokeRadar, or is it one of the ones that justs pops up?

Star Lord

None of them just pop-up so far as I'm aware, you have to use the Pokéradar to find Pokémon

I've had two Woopers and a Sentret just appear.

That's walking around with no pokemon of your own in the walker but after you made a connection to the game (ie you load your first 'mon into the walker, send him home and the route stays loaded) ?
If so, that only works for tier 1s.

Ah, ok. Thank you for sparing me an awful amount of time wasting!

Just beat the Elite Four & Champ:

Ampharos - Lv. 50
Golem - Lv. 50
Ninetales - Lv. 49
Pidgeot - Lv. 48
Meganium - Lv. 47
Kingdra - Lv. 46

Gonna give Pokemon a little break for a few weeks now to concentrate on exams, I've gotten too addicted!

Finally beat the Elite Four after getting my 16th badge. The actual Elite Four where no problem but I kept getting stuck on Lance with his level 72 Garchomp that kept spamming outrage :mad:

So now it's:

Jolteon- level 59
Umbreon- level 56
Espeon- level 57
Vaporeon- level 61
Flareon- level 57
Glaceon- level 58
Leafeon- level 58

I love that team!

Did you get to do the Kanto Pokemon League in the original Gold/Silver?

Which one got a free ride? They can't all have faced the E4 and won, there's 7 of them. Who's daddy's little Eevee?

Eeveelutions are my favourite Pokemon, hands down

You can do the Johto League again after getting your 16th badge. The Elite Four and Lance all get level upgrades and new pokemon (from all four generations). I can't remember if they changed after the 16th badge in the originals.

Jolteon was in the box when I finally beat Lance. He was two or three levels ahead of everyone else when I went to fight the League last night, so he had to sit it out.

More like "Mammy's little Eevee"

So Dragonite and Metagross are on Holidays because my mate was having trouble in the Pokémon league in SS.
I'm also EV training his Ponyta and Skarmory for him...

Pfft, he better be kind to my Pokémon.

What else has happened...
Tyranitar is almost at level 70, as is Manezone.
Matagross is well on it's way it hitting the 80s and Dragonite is in his early 60s.
Infernape has reached his peak and just kills every one these days.
I have a few other Pokémon that I want to train up but I am doing it very slowly and lazily!

I was actually trying to do the same thing a while back, but when I came to Espeon and Umbreon I got lazy and stopped.
I've got the rest of them though, all around their 30's.

I'm the same. Planned to have a full team of them, got them all to level 30 and just wasn't bothered anymore.

Just got the 16th gym badge.

Feraligatr - Lvl 62
Snorlax - Lvl 51
Pikachu - lvl 34 (currently levelling up with the EXP share)
Ho-oh - Lvl 70
Magmar - Lvl 45
(other as revive/HM slave)

Now that I have the 16th badge, going to try and get Mewtwo. Then once I've levelled everyone up a good bit, take on the Elite 4 a few times to level up further, and take on Big Red.

Although, I'm thinking of trying to get a Polywhirl or something, in order to have a bit of a fighting pokemon with me. I have a Lvl 40 Poliwag I caught fishing. Should I train it up and maybe replace Magmar?

I'm starting a new Heart Gold (it will be nice to have a break from the Pokeathlon in Soul Silver!) and here's what I have so far:

Female Spinarak (Spyder) - level 7
Female Metapod (Flutter) - level 7
Female Silcoon (Flitter) - level 7
Male Krabby (Fiddler) - level 6
Male Burmy (Lepi) - level 3
Female Combee egg.

Go, go, Team Arthropod!

I figure that a team of mostly bugs will be pretty challenging, especially with the first gym being Flying type.
I would have gone for all six being bug type but I wanted a surfer on my team, so a Krabby will have to do. With crabs being arthropods like the rest of the team (or at least the animals that they're based off) it still fits the theme.

Banjo

That first gym is going to be a nightmare
Having said that I've always thought the games should give you a bonus for having a Gym-Leader-esque themed team or a penalty for not having one to give those poor buggers a fighting chance against challengers. Good luck!

How do you know the Combee egg is female? Did you save and then hatch it before trading it over just to be sure or did you RNG Reporter it? Tried RNG'ing a shiney Carvanha the other day, went great except the hatched egg wasn't shiney, had the wrong gender, the wrong nature and even the move set didn't work out the way I'd planned...

I'm probably going to grind up as high as I can (going to aim for somewhere between 15 and 20) before I go and try to fight Falkner. At least when I have a Mothim, Butterfree and Beautifly their secondary flying type should help.

Good Luck!

Thanks. I'll need it

Did you save and then hatch it before trading it over just to be sure or did you RNG Reporter it?

Yep, I saved before hatching her in my Platinum. I'm a bit fussy about the genders of my Pokemon (even when their gender doesn't really affect anything) so I always spend ages breeding for the right gender as well as natures and IVs before trading their eggs over.

Banjo

Maybe I'm misunderstanding but having a Flying secondary type doesn't mitigate any Flying damage - there's no same-as-type resistance for fliers.

Maybe I'm wrong but I thought that it would stop them from getting super-effective damage from Flying types. I'm not saying that they would resist the flying type just that it would negate their weakness to it.

Bug/Flying still gets hit by Super Effective from Flying. Only things that resist Flying are Steel and Rock off the top of my head. I wish you all the best with that one SpookyMuffin!

Ah, crap. Just more of a challenge I guess!

Failing that you could try to get Combee to evolve and learn Power Gem at Level21, that would help you out a lot

wobbles

have most of my college work done, so im putting in some sneaky hours here and there.

Was about to start the light house place when i decided to go back and get some decent pokemon and train them up. I felt i was falling back on ponyta too often. Also wanted a bit of speed team this time around. I dont want to bring in too many pokemon from diamond. I want to have a new team of pokemon that ive never leveled up before so ive only brought in Aerodactyl. I wanna try him as a flying type as im tired or the same old same old when it comes to flying types. Also brought in a thunderstone to evolve eevee to jolteon so i can use it during and post game.

Ponyta Lvl 34 - pokewalker
Chikorita lvl 29 - starter
Staryu lvl 18 - pokewalker
Aerodactyl lvl 24 - diamond
Jolteon lvl 21 - ingame with thunder stone brought in
Kangaskhan lvl 23 - pokewalker

Disappointed in chikorita. Its my first time using a grass starter and it really doesnt match my gme style. Staryu is very hard to level up so far. Very impressed with Kangaskhan. Hes my HM slave so far, Ive also taught him headbutt from the guy in the forest. Even though he may not be the fastest, with the fake out move, hes fitting in well

Atavan-Halen

I've just beat Misty in Kanto:

Azurill - lv. 37
Togekiss - lv. 39
Lugia - lv. 46
Empoleon (aka the slave) - lv. 51
Milotic - lv. 57
Lucario - lv.62

I also have a Lv. 100 Rayquaza but he only comes out when I'm really stuck :P
