The OFFICIAL Pokemon thread ver 2.5

Hahahaha…

I think someone needs to step up their game. :coffee:

Need some advice here.

Replaying pokemon firered again, and trying to build a ingame team. Here’s what I have (no EV training)

Charizard at Naughty
Vaporeon at Modest
Snorlax at Brave

So here’s the questions (some might sound newbish x_x)

Is Brave a good nature for Snorlax? He cares nothing for speed I know, but I was really gunning for Adamant. I had to recatch this thing 50 times to get the nature right :@ + when I did he didn’t have Thick Fat :bluu: long story short I got tired of it and kept Brave/Thick Fat. I’m thinking of a staller like

Body Slam/Return
Shadow Ball
Rest
Sleep Talk

I think my Vaporeon needs no help. Modest/Water Absorb, moveset looking like…

Surf
Ice Beam
Acid Armor
Baton Pass

I’m so lost with Charizard. I want a Dragonite, but that would mean using all my good TMs on him and not Zard. Plus, you HAVE to breed for DD which sucks (I wanted a Curselax but you gotta BREED FOR CURSE :wasted:) Anyway, he’s at Naughty to give him some good ATK power…

Fly
Flamethrower
Dig
Slash

I know this moveset is crap, but you don’t get many good TM’s in this game (you only get ONE EQ x_x). By the time I’m done it could look like…

Aerial Ace
Flamethrower
EQ
Rock Slide

My outlook team is shaping up to be like…

Charizard
Snorlax
Vaporeon
Zapdos
Mewtwo
???

??? because I dunno what the hell is gonna be there. More likely it’ll be a ground type or something to that degree, but you only get ONE EQ in this game like I said. Most ground type pokemon with potential DON’T learn EQ sigh…

EDIT - More lol

OK who is the HM slave in this game? Snorlax 2 (you can catch two snorlax)? I’m tired of pulling crap outta the box just to advance.

There’s not a lot of pokemon that use Fly good ingame. Imma just give it to Zapdos since I NEED a flyer.

I suggest you use Curselax. and considering your Charizard’s nature go for broke with the sub/salac sweeper.

Everything works in-game.

/gamefaqs

Ugh but I gotta breed, and the daycare isn’t on Kanto it’s on some Island waaaaay endgame v_v

I want a tiny bit of professionalism! :mad: :3

Edited the OP.

anyone else getting the import? i ordered from ncsx but i think they need to get another shipment in due to the pre-orders. hopefully i get it soon though =X

You wanna know what I hate?

Zapdos
HP 2/158
PAR
LV. 50

Fir throws Great Ball.
No
Fir throws Great Ball.
No
Fir throws Great Ballsx30

Fir throws Ultra Ball
No
Fir throws Ultra Ballsx30
NOOOOOOOOOO

Ok this is getting stupid, this thing has kicked outta 60 something pokeballs :bluu:

throw a normal ball.

I did :mad:

I dislike how more and more stall is being phazed out…I like stall but these changes since DP have been slowly killing my play style.

nintendo has a vendetta against 30 minute pokemon battles :rofl:

You guys enjoy stalls? :xeye:

Though they’re quite hilarious sometimes.

No shit, which is why all tournys run that BS 3v3 lv50 or tag team shit. Fuck that! :lame:

Inferno, I bet you loved to play GSC if you liked stall.

Actually I never really used Stall back then. I actually booted up my old Silver copy (wow I still have it all here!) and looked at my old team.

Houndoom
Lanturn
Steelix
Blissey
Sunflora (lol)
Dragonite

not much balance there but this just just before I learned about the serious side of competitive battles (back during a simpler time)

back when i had a charizard with fly, flamethrower, fire blast, and strength

I FINALLY caught Zapdos late last night after throwing a zillion pokeballs at it. I took a look at the nature and it was naive. See, this is thing I hate about this game. You NEVER know when it’s the nature you actually want! I wanted Rash or Hasty, but it’s impossible to tell unless you catch it. Though I guess that would make sense anyway, it is pretty aggravating just sitting there busting your ass then when you catch it - it’s useless!

Hell, the only way you can tell is if you test atk it (and by that, lets say it’s rash and you hit it with Auroa Beam…AB is gonna take a little bit more than it should do to the low SP DEF)

Nintendo cares nothing for stall. So many pokemon are getting better with offensive capabilities, the metagame is more offensive minded. See any teams running SkarmBliss nowadays? Shit, not me. Remember when people were like Cressy was the new Blissey? What happened to that talk (lmao)? It could (and probably would) be a lot worse if Garchomp was still OU, stall has pretty much abandoned every metagame except Uber.

Guess I best make an uber team and move away fom OU until the new sets drop.

Also to WS - Smogon mod made a torment Heatran and now torment is getting some love…your exclusive strat from way back is going to be taken away like Scizor…

Gamefreak loved stall in GSC. Then they gave Corphish Dragon Dance…

Infernoman: Dammit! All I have left now is my borderline useless “Mimuk”.:crybaby:

Travis I’m sorry but friend is picking me up in 5 minutes!

…and it would have been a great match as far as I can tell. :bluu:
