I could really care less aside from the quick Pokedex entry it'll net me.
My pretty Pokedex will soon be full~

...Though I don't know if I have a Groudon, Kyogre, and Rayquaza...Don't remember if I ever transferred them into D/P/Pt :lol

As long as you wait a couple years or you have HGSS you're golden for them. :lol

"Hmm. I wonder what new Pokemon I should train next. How about Cacturne?"
*Sees stats*
Well that answered that question...

Is that a yes then? =p

I really don't get stats too well. I get them on a level of, okay this pokemon has a higher stat here than here. But I honestly couldn't look at base stats/max stats and go, okay this guy is worthless. I guess I'm saying I don't get them in the grand scheme of things?

I generally don't, either. I try to use Pokemon without using a simple chart as a be all, end all decision maker, but Cacturne tells all with one look.

Low defense, low special defense, mediocre HP, and no speed to make use of it's great attack and special attack stats.

Sucker Punch is pretty much it's only real option :\

Yeah, it really doesn't have great coverage. Shame. I've always quite liked him design wise. I'd also wager that you could still beat me by using one as well =p

It'd probably be a gimmicky one time thing, though.
Once you see it a second time, you'll probably be privy to what my exact plan would be :lol

How did they make Whitney so likeable in the anime?

She didn't cry when Ash beat her.

I swear, i haven't laughed this hard in a long time! :lolol

"Bad Arceus! You do NOT create a glorious new cosmos on the rug! Outside mister! I don't care if you're the creator of all things, out NOW!":lolol


In other news: Tangrowth, Magnezone, Mamoswine, Probopass, Honchkrow. Is this a good team and who else should I add?

I've never used any of those so i don't know if they're any good.

A Psychic type. It'll cover for the hue weakness to fighting

Vs Fighting, only Tangrowth really stands much chance. Honchkrow does have the Flying to counter out the Dark weakness, but it's speed is lacking most of the time.

I think either a Fairy, Ghost, or Psychic would help balance the team. Fairies being a great counter to Dark and Fightings, Ghosts just naturally being awesome after their Gen VI buff, and Psychic to help cover your team's vulnerability to Fighting.

Hell, I think a Fighting type itself might do well with your team, thinking about it.

They're all a bit tanky, which is not necessarily a bad thing. I like tanks too =]

Err but otherwise, I don't think probopass adds much to the team. His stabs are more or less covered by magnezone and mamoswine. Maybe fit a fairy in there if you can/want. I personally really like their type compatibility =]

Gallade? Bronzong? Or a Fighting-Immune Misdreavus?

Up to you really

That proposed team is comprised of cool Gen IV upgrades, like the mobster crow or the ancient ice pig. So I'm probably stuck with Gallade or Mismagius if I want to keep the theme going.

I just love Sinnoh.:D
As do I. My Golurk in Black1 handled a lot of my battles once a got him from the Dragonspiral Tower as Golett. My highest leveled mons in X are all either Sweepers or Tanks.

And Probopass is doing quite well in my Black 2 play through. Then again I'm only at Reversal Mountain or wherever you run though a cave looking for Heatran.

You could roll with a contrary/superpower Malamar. Downside is that it has a 4x weakness to bug.

Bronzong is heading in the wrong direction because it's Fighting neutral, slow as hell, and takes a massive chunk of damage from Fire (Another blight to your team, taking out Mamoswine, Tangrowth, and Magnezone with ease).

Gallade is a mediocre choice, boasting sub-par speed and abilities that add very little. It is usable, though. You just have to play smart with it. You can't throw Gallade out into a battle and expect to immediately start sweeping.

Misdreavus and Mismagius are...Usable, but they're unavailable until PokeBank comes out.

As a whole, I think Probopass serves little use, since unlike fellow tanks Tangrowth and Magnezone, it doesn't have the power to strike back.

I hadn't actually noticed that connection until you pointed it out to me :lol
If you wanna run Gen 4 evo, though, definitely invest in a Gliscor, preferably with Poison Heal. It's a great tank that boasts 2 immunities and is relatively quick (If a little annoying to get a hold of...)

The other is that Malamar is as slow as hell, meaning that you'll have to bank on Contrary+Superpower's defense boost will do it well.

Okay, lets bench Probopass (I still want to make a team I can use him on) and run that Gliscor with Smogon's Defensive set in Overused Tier, which I don't care about anyway because tiers only matter to me for picking movesets that sound good, and I'll break code and toss in a Cloyster for Water support and Skill Link pwnage.

"I don't care about tiers. So let me start to tier whore" Is what it sounded like you just said :lol

As in I just look for movesets that sound good and Tiers are usually an afterthought!:lol
I mix-and-match not only tiers (like 2 Rarelyused, an Overused, a Little Cup and 2 Ubers and going after Neverused Teir) but Gen Metagames. My Magiranger Vaporeon will either be set up the Sinnoh metagame or just mixing up EV spreads and movesets based on whatever sounds the most powerful.

Surf, Toxic, Ice Beam and Hidden Power Fire sound promising.


Plus I'm too lazy to think about EV spreads or movepools on my own with out going "Flamethrower, Overheat, Fire Blast, Inferno Full Offensive like an eight year old playing for the first time." :lol

One of my team members are ready. I just need to evolve one more and breed/train/evolve a mega-evolution.

Oh? Who?

Anyway, I'm currently trying to work out my newest team. Anyone wanna have a test battle so I can see what strategies work and what don't?

Talonflame is finished, Still need to evolve Tyrunt but I'll do that tomorrow, and my Mega-Evolution will be Tyranitar. (Got a Larvitar off of wonder trade and breeding it with a jolly ditto.)

That sounds tough to beat, does Talonflame have Gale wings?

yep

Tyranitar, eh? Oh joy. :lol

Anyway, working on my next Pokemon.

Okay. This team isn't what I'd call "Good," but I still wanna give it a try if anyone is game.

At the rate it's taking me to find this Noibat i probably won't find it until New years.

You have to believe in yourself.

If you told me sooner, I would've traded you one I got via wonder trade…kinda late now though.

If you're having trouble I can try breeding one for you.

He's trying to get a shiny Noibat.

I still have Tyrunts that need a good home. Any takers?

Got any Adamant males? Or any males that have an Attack-boosting Nature to compliment Strong Jaws?

I have a brave nature one.

I'd take any female.

Alrighty, name him Geki or Ryouga and I'll happily take him off your hands.
