Oh, feck that thing.
Crap. Now I've evolved Togepi I can't show him to Elm can I? Just realised...
Also, the 8th gym in SS is SO hard. Regretting now having a strong electric Pokemon now.

You didn't get a Pikachu?
Isn't the 8th Gym Dragon? Electric wouldn't be much help there, besides paralysing junk.
That Kingdra is a bastard, only weak to Dragon, just have to bash him.

Nope, never came across one.
I can't even get to it! It's the damn Lvl 38 Gyarados which gets me. Togetic can hold all his attacks off but because Dragon Rage does 40hp damage each time and Togetic only has 88hp, it hurts me. Would love a bit of Electric to just rip through this piece of arse thing.
Get a Shiny Stone from the Pokeathlon, and evolve your Togetic.
Would love it but I read that they're super super rare to get? That's why I never tried. Same with a Leaf Stone
Damn, I forgot it doesn't show up in the Pokeathelon until after you get the national dex. Sorry mate.
Meh I'll just have to tank up my Togetic and Gyarados. Maybe teach Togetic Psybeam or some other powerful psychic attack, Extrasensory seems to do naff all to these guys.
Extrasensory is the 2nd best Psychic attack, next to Psychic. I prefer Extrasensory myself, tbh.
Any good Rock pokemon? It's a dangerous tactic, but Rock moves wallop Gyarados.
I have a Graveller that's decent. I used it once but they immediately swapped Gyarados for that Kingdra... you can imagine what happened next. That poor Graveller
As for Extrasensory... maybe they just have high Spec. Def then. Just barely scratches them
WHERE MAH DIGLETTS AT?
I can't stop listening to it now!
It's surprisingly well done....
I can't stop listening to it now!
Been doing this through the Vikings/Giants NFL game.Damn.....
Breeding Clauncher at the moment, to be my X "starter".
I have a few spare Modest Claunchers, 78 to be precise.
Another round of Wonder Trades, perhaps....
First box done, was excited for a moment, 29 gone, not one Weedle, Caterpie or *shudders* Combee male.
30th mon, Caterpie.
I find if i've bred a fair few of one Pokemon and start Wonder trading i usually come out with things i haven't got. If i get a Pokemon i already have i just trade that out straight away so it works out fairly nicely for filling your Pokedex easily.
Yup, it's not that bad, got the odd one I didn't have and ok Torchic, Fennekin, Eevee and another Japanese Ditto.

Just ordered a 2DS and Pokemon Y from Amazon. Couldn't resist in the end. What teams have people got or hoping to get? There's a lot of pokemon I want to try out, particularly the mega evolutions and I'm not sure what team I should use.
Currently working with Mega Blaziken, Mega Charizard, Mega Lucario, Pikachu, Greninja and Venusaur!
All level 38-44 and have 3 badges! Probably Need to vary my team going forward, but really enjoying the game so far!

Nice team, bit of double coverage on both fire and fighting, but there's nothing wrong with that in game. Often play with an entire team of one type for a laugh.
Yeah I have Blaziken as Torchic came with the Mega Stone. I've got him loaded with Cut Strength and Rock Smash for now! I probably need some psychic in my team, but holding out for Mewtwo I think.
No affinity to Lucario really, but got given him at the top of the tower.
Any recommendations about who to include? Who are you working with, when you're not working with a single type team?
You won't get Mewtwo until the postgame, if you have another Psychic you like, I'd go for it now.
At the moment? Greninja, Volcarona, Hawlucha, Yvetal, Tyrantrum, and Blaziken. I'll end up swapping Blaziken for Aerodactyl, and Tyrantrum for Goodra.
I've started an X save though, and at the moment I have Clauncher, Fletchling, Zigzagoon(for HM's) and a few space fillers/cannon fodder. I'll be getting Charmander soon though, probably use that.
Just caught cobalion and virizion in my black game, steel/fighting (seems useful) and grass/fighting (less so)
Are these guys any good? I was working off a 5man team anyway so cobalion will be the 6th, im thinking of dropping my Serperior for virizion as i've not been impressed with him so far.
For legendaries they were pretty pish to fight and catch, level 42 but my level 43 darmanitan actually 1 hit ko'd both and I had to reboot, they both were caught on the third dusk ball.
Current team is darmanitan, sigilyph, carracosta, zebstrika and the two legendaries.

They're both pretty good, though I'd say Cobalion is the better it's fairly close. Grass/Fighting is very useful IMO, except for the 4x damage from Flying attacks.
EDIT: Agree about Serperior, great design, mediocre mon. Have to spend too much time Coil boosting.

Just got a Froakie on wonder trade with Brave nature, is this any good?
Edit: And the very next trade I get a Charmander!!

Great pokemon, nature isn't the best, as it cuts its best stat by 10%, it's speed. Then again, it's so fast it can take the cut without issue.
They are destroying everything so far, iccirus city gym was laughable.
Yeah, bit gutting, when I saw it's evolution it actually reminded me of dratini/dragonair, crying out for a grass/dragon type. Very average in reality.
Any real point in picking up a druddigon? Surely the worst dragon type... but a dragon type...
Heh, sounds like fun, someday(once the Bank is active) I must build a team with all for of the musketeers.
Yup, adding the dragon type to it would be enough to cover it's mediocre stats. Wouldn't even mind the weak offences if it was actually really strong defensively, but it's not. That said, with it's hidden ability, it's incredibly broken, Contrary and Leaf Tornado,
, I think it was banned before it was released...It's alright, but I wouldn't be pushed about it. I'd only have it if I was looking to fill an empty space. Of course, the other B/W dragon is a cnut. Evolves at level 65, what the feck were they thinking?
64! And in fairness there's haxorus too... na you're right.
64, heh, you'd think I'd remember that, just evolved one yesterday.
Forgot about Haxorus, quite like that, but there's something about it, it's boring, I dunno.....

Stats wise it's still one of the strongest in the game, but you're right, I think it's the fact that it couldn't look less like a dragon.
Yup, it's stats are mental, and Mold Breaker Earthquake, vicious. Heh, now that you mention it, I couldn't say what it actually looks like, perhaps a malnourished elf in heavy armour?
I think I might try and aim for a team like Greninja, Venusaur, Charizard, Hippowdon, Gardevoir and Lucario. Not a very interesting team, with only one new pokemon even though there are a few that look good. Sylveon and Dragalge in particular I want to try. Anyone used them yet?
Is modest nature any good?
