Found my favourite new way to catch Dittos, put in a Roggenrolla for it to transform into, then you can use a 1HKO Super Effective move on rock but because of it's Sturdy ability you leave it on 1HP. Easy as pie.
I used to just throw in something rubbish, like a caterpie, even without damaging them their catch rate is easy as pie.
EQ, in heartgold, how good is drowzee?
Ok, not great though, it's nice and bulky compared to Kadabra, but slow and with weak attack.
So if I were to catch a Abra and a Drowzee, I should persevere with Abra?
I always find him a bitch to kill if you don't have something super effective against him. But like EQ says, he never scares me when he attacks. Where are you up to in HG Art? I've got SS and am at the start of Ice Path.
What would anyone recommend to add to this team for the Elite 4? (Presume they're all decently leveled) Togetic, Gyarados, Typhlosion, Pigeot, Graveller, Weepinbell (Can't level the last two because I can't trade, my router is incompatible with the DS for some reason)
It depends really, Abra and Kadabra can't take physical hits at all, but they should be hitting first every time. If you don't mind them being glass cannons, Kadabra has close to double the Special Attack that Hypno has.
If you do mind, Hypno isn't bad, but shouldn't be used on similar level evolved pokemon unless you have an attack with a type advantage.
Bradders, I've just started. Training my ass off to rape Whitney's Miltank. Got a gastly level 20, Quilava level 22, Slowbro level 15 just caught a Drowzee 12 and am searching for an Abra.
Thanks EQ. Will keep that in mind.
Weepinbell evolves by Grass Stone, you should be able to get one in game.
Good team though. A dragon would be nice, but you'll be facing the Elite 4 at a low enough level that it'd be hard to evolve one.
Perhaps swap Graveller for a Piloswine from the Ice Path? I know it wasn't in the original Gold, but you should still be able to evolve to it's third stage, easy enough too, level it up while it knows Ancient Power.
feck that cow man. It's been an arse to me in the past, but this time I got off a bit lightly - I used a Geodude and it didn't use Rollout once against me. Must be a glitch?
Just caught an Abra first time with my Mean looking Gastly. feck yeah.
No bother mate.
Ah really? I thought it had to be traded. Pleased about that though, Weepinbell seemed a bit weak to me! Gyarados knows Dragon Rage but yeah its not a proper Dragon type. I'll search around for one as I could do with a proper Ice type.
You really are the resident Pokexpert here!
Rollout is ineffective against Geodude, weak to both Rock and Ground, IIRC, so it makes sense if she didn't use it.
Been addicted to the bloody things with a generation now.
Yeah but it's still damn frightening by the 4th or 5th move. Otherwise it was just a case of me Rock Throw-ing it until I got lucky and she didn't use a Super Potion. I thought the same, just struck me a big unusual
Rollout doesn't do shit to Gastly either does it?
Aye, it would have done a lot of damage in the late rounds, but the AI would think that Stomp and such were more effective.
Normal damage.
I'm going to assume Earthquake is named after the Pokemon move, the man knows everything!
Professor Oak, is that you?
Just sounds like a load of Pokemon birds doing wanking pornos.
I have absolutely no recollection of why I chose this name. I don't think there was any special connection to anything.
Nah man he sucked, had to get children to do his job. Entire lifes work, a blank pokedex.
There's a bunch of ways to get around her, really. I think I said it at that time, but I always preferred Nidorans, especially if I can snag a Moon Stone before the Gym fight. Poison Point and Double Kick is vicious.Mr. Elmo said this to me and I decided to not catch a geodude for Whitney
If you can get Miltank set on fire, you're golden too, as that'll cut attack as well as damage.
Alternatively, just get something and hammer it's accuracy to pieces. There's no way it'll get into the danger regions of Rollout without missing.
I asked because I remember Gyarados being really ridiculous in gen 1 (and I trained it from a Magikarp, didnt even know it was possible to buy it straight up) and if it was still that good then maybe it would be worth to train a Magikarp into Gyarados. But I got my answer, no point training it.
I need to get my hands on a moonstone. Where can one find said moonstone?
IIRC, at that stage of the game, it's the games area behind the park with the bug catching competition. You'll have to play minigames to build points to buy it.
It only shows up once day a week.
Everyone should.
This guy surely did
I always love seeing that. The other ones are a bit crap, picking more uhhhh, commonly chosen Pokemon in the likes of Aggron.Everyone should.
I fecking showed that cumguzzling thundercnut whos boss.
Nice one!All these starting pokemon look gay, what should I pick? Who ends up being the most badass?
I like the frog the most, becomes a water/dark ninja.
The grass one becomes a big spiky tank, and the fire one some kind of magician/wizard.
It's final form looks too gay, Chesnaught looks pretty awesome so grass it is. I don't really like grass pokemon though.
I can get a charmander later in the game though, right?
Very early, third town.
