Pokemon Thread

Personally, I think Reuniclus has a horrid design. He doesn't even have a trenchcoat. But, that's just my personal opinion.


On a side note, Beheeyem has slightly better Sp. Def and Atk. (although it probably won't help it much).


EDIT: Beheeyem also can learn Nasty Plot, while Reuniclus can't.

I had this odd dream that my Pokemon Black was hacked and that every Pokemon I owned was a shiny. I wanted to get this level 12 female shiny Pachirisu and the person offering wanted Reshiram level 9 and under. I got mad and went to my X-friend (He was the one who hacked it).

I woke up right there. Then I went to check GTS and there was a Shiny Female Pachirisu.. The person wanted Reshiram level 9 and under. *Facepalm*

EDIT: I find nasty plot useless in my opinion.

That reminds me I had this dream that I was having a rematch with Gelo but it was so blurry and I couldn't tell who was winning. :/ Anywho I need a bit of an advice. I'm not sure how the Foul Play attack move works. I thought it was like Payback but with a bit of difference. Also Crocobelle (Krookodile) has decent moves for the following:

Swagger
Foul Play
Crunch
Dig

Is there something I should change? I do want to bring out the best with my pokemons.

It doubles the user's Special Attack. You don't find that to be useful?


EDIT: Foul Play uses the target's attack to calculate. Therefore, higher the attack of the target more damage it inflicts on the target.


For example, if Crocobelle uses Foul Play on Metagross (who has 135 base Attack stat), it will do more damage than it would on a Skuntank (who has a 93 base Attack stat), regardless of Crocobelle's Attack stat.

2 things:

1. Nasty Plot is fantastic.

2. Reuniclus is awesome, and also has lower base Speed than Beheeyem.

No ones ever going to convince me to use Reuniclus, sorry. Yes, I'm sure it's really powerful, but using Poke'mon I dislike destroys the whole point of Poke'mon for me.

One thing I don't like about people saying "Use you favourites" is that they never define what a favourite is and why. Looks, fine, don't judge a book by it's cover. How good it is at battling, people usually respond with "Use your favourites" to that. This isn't really directed at anyone, just something I wanted to say at some point.

I don't really care how it works in battle, just how it looks.

This.

Well said, Ferrety. I say it's okay to use the pokemon you like, just don't expect to win unless you choose the best pokemon that work on your team. For example, if you like to use Poliwrath for offense because you like how it looks, suck it up and use a Gyarados because it does the same job much better.

Beheeyem isn't completely inferior to Reuniclus, though, because it can learn Nasty Plot.

That's very true. If you want to use Beheeyem, then go right ahead. Reuniclus can learn Calm Mind, which doesn't boost as rapidly but makes up for that by simultaneously increasing Reuniclus' formidable bulk, but if you really prefer Nasty Plot, then whatever.

Did anyone read my last post here? If not then it should be back a page or two. I really need some help. Thanks.

Please repost the question. I'm not exactly sure which post you're talking about, but it looks like Blix already answered your problem.

Okay here it is.

I started playing Mystery Dungeon Explorers of Time again recently, really good pokemon game imo.

Apperantly Pokemon Dungeon Explorers of Sky is ment to be the best. Cause it doesn't have just the main story, it offers up lots of new things like the guild's orgin stories. I think you should have a go at that.

Foul Play's damage is calculated by the foe's attack stat. The higher the target's attack, the more damage it will do. For example, Foul Play will do a lot of damage on Slaking (base 160 attack) but not a lot on Magikarp (base 10 attack)

Also, if you really want your pokemon to be the best, you need to at least give it the right nature and EV train it. If you're not planning on battling people with it, then it's fine.

Here are a few sets that might work for it:

Krookodile @ Focus Sash / Life Orb
Moxie
Jolly
4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spe
- Swords Dance
- Earthquake
- Outrage
- Fire Fang

Same exact moveset as my Garchomp, just inferior in every way. Use Focus Sash if you want to ensure that you'll get a Swords Dance in, but if you're not afraid of using a turn to set up, then go for Life Orb. Swords Dance instantly doubles Attack. Earthquake is basic STAB, and it hits incredibly hard with a Swords Dance boost. Outrage is resisted by few pokemon, and it does a ton of damage (but not as much as STAB Earthquake). Fire Fang takes care of levitating Steels (such as Bronzong) which wall your other moves.

Krookodile @ Choice Band / Choice Scarf
Moxie
Adamant / Jolly
4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spe
- Earthquake
- Rock Slide / Stone Edge
- Outrage
- Fire Fang

Doesn't give as much of a boost as Swords Dance, but Choice Band keeps you from using a turn to set up. Alternatively, Choice Scarf increases your speed, which is just a bit too slow to keep up with a lot of others. As previously stated, Earthquake is just amazing. A rock move would give EdgeQuake coverage with Earthquake, so you have two choices. Rock slide isn't as powerful, but more accurate and has a chance of flinching. Stone Edge is inaccurate, but much more powerful and has high critical hit ratio. Outrage gets good neutral coverage and Fire Fang takes care of other steels.

(If you choose Choice Band, use Jolly nature. If you choose Choice Scarf, use Adamant nature)

All Sky has that Time and Darkness don't is more optional dungeons and a bit more backstory (and Shaymin, and possibly more things that I forgot and therefore aren't particuarly important). Time is absolutely fine

There's a mystery dungeon in Japan that wasn't released in America. You can CHOOSE your pokemon. >_>

The Wiiware ones? I doubt I'd be interested in them, one of the huge pros of the other games was their awesome plots. Apparently, the Wiiware one's was simplified.

Also, with a little time, and possibly a guide, you can pick the Pokemon you play as in all the games.

I'm not sure if the new wii ware game Pokemon Scramble (or whatever it's called) will be any good. If it has a decent plot story, I might consider getting it.

The Wiiware game's been out for ages. It's the 3DS sequel that's coming out soon. Also, there is basically no story, but it's still enjoyable.

I must have a UT Careful Registeel. I can obtain almost any pokemon that isn't legendary or an event and EV train it for you, so if you're interested in trading, please tell me what you want. By the way, NO HACKS, but RNG is fine.

I got a new emerald version the other day, so I may be able to get you one......what does UT mean?
