You do know that you can actually CATCH wild Pokemon, right?

I heard that if you defeat the Elite 4 500 times with only Magikarp that both Jirachi and Deoxys will fly down from space and end up in your party.

Okay, that is a complete lie.

The real answer is an unequivocal and resounding NO. I got my Jirachi from a good friend that used to frequent this very group, so there are other ways to get the rare Pokemon without cheating. Good luck.

Okay, can you transfer pokemon from D/P/P to R/S/E???

That would be a no. Only to D/P/P. Check your game book for D/P.

[shanecdavis]

Another no. It only goes one way.

Okay, I'm looking for a Bagon in Meteor Falls, but I forgot how to get it because I have not played my Sapphire since 2 years now I guess... Anyway, do I need waterfall to get somewhere or are the Bagon in a certain location? Also what is the best nature for Bagon/Shelgon/Salamance?

Thanks for helping! =]

[Water Pokemon Trainer]

its in like a ini cave inside meteor falls and yes you require waterfall to get there and it appears at lvl 28 i think it was try going for an adamant modest jolly timid or mild rash natures depending on what your going to use it as SpecsMence MixMEnce PhysicalMence

[PokemonMichael]

i found it in the little cave where you get tm02 dragon claw

[Chaostorm]

Yes u Need Waterfall. And Bagon Is in the Place where u get TM02 Dragon Claw. Bagon Will be around Lv25-Lv35.

I want my Bagon to be Physical, so whats the correct nature for it? lol Should I choose Mild?

[shanecdavis]

Ummm, Mild is -Atk, so that isn't a good choice for a physical sweeper. You want Adamant Salamence.

[♣Gawain♣]

I think it would be Rash. Mine is... and it has a higher Attack.

[shanecdavis]

No, Rash is +SAtk which has no affect on Atk. Your higher Atk would be attributed to a good IV in that stat.

[Wolflare]

Adamant (+Atk, -SpA) on the Salamence if it is Physical, unless you want Spe without lowering Atk, then do Jolly (+Spe, -SpA).

[♣Gawain♣]

Somebody deleted my post and I think I know why...

So Adamant is the best for Physical sweeper Salamence?

[shanecdavis]

Yes. However, if you are concerned about the -SAtk then I would go with Lonely.

If you are concerned about low defense (though no physical moves are super effective in R/S/E), go for adamant. In D/P/P, definitely go for adamant unless you have yache berry/focus sash. Ice punch/outrage/the like will PWN you.

If you are concerned about lowering of special attack, go for lonely.

If you are concerned with having speed too low, go for jolly/hasty.

If you're crazy like me, go for docile. (Which you should not do, by the way.)

[shanecdavis]

Please avoid using Docile. It doesn't provide any benefit to the Pokemon whatsoever. If you think about it, your Pokemon is basically 10% worse than it could be. In a tight battle, that could end up being very significant.

I said if you're crazy. Implying it should not be docile.
I'll edit it.

[shanecdavis]

I know, my comment was directed to you in particular. heh

You can be crazy all you want, I am the pot calling the kettle black of course, just don't use those neutral natures.

[Chérii]

Should be in the top opening, all dark and mysterious and stuff. Bagon are pretty rare. :B

Adamant is the preferred nature for Bagon for the majority of its movesets, with Jolly as a close second. Rash is there for the MixMence set.

It doesn't work in the competitive environment, but it works in-game.
My hardy swampert scores a few KOs both ways. I took weeks breeding him.

Pokémon specific to in-game play aren't bad. Even a bibarel stands a chance in-game.

Half my starters are neutral-natured and they still work. I'd just not use them in a competitive environment.

[shanecdavis]

True, but even in-game having a positive nature can mean the difference between a OHKO and 2HKO, both offensively and defensively.

You're right... but I still love docile nature. =/

Does it help to know my competitive team has reasonably "good" natures? (well, all except my mesprit. DX)

[shanecdavis]

Yes, that is a little more comforting. Thank you. heh
