Basically, I only used a Lugia and a Dragonite, both of them had Earthquake (as well as a few other moves that would take care of flying Pokémon). Since they themselves are flying they don't harm each other with it. So I just spammed Earthquake turn after turn, and occasionally used Hydro Pump, Psycho Boost, Hyper Beam etc to take down flyers. The first time I attempted to get from Area 1 to 10 (to get my Gen 2 starters) , I lost in early Area 10, but the second time I succeeded. Just like in Gen 1, Earthquake owned most of my opponents :D .

The champion is a different story though. Double Earthquake is a must if you want to get rid of his Slaking as quickly as possible (and believe me, you'll want to) , but the Lati@s (he has both) and his Salamence will give you trouble.

Poor Lugia... getting purified :D But yeah, this is good strategy that fails against Flying types and Levitate types... And as you mentioned, Battle Master has both of that... :D
I think more diverse strategy should be applied here :D

According to Bulbapedia, Pokemon Colosseum is a main game. Where does it fit into the timeline?

[Sydian]

Unfortunately, that's probably up to a bunch of debates. We had a timeline thread in PGC, but it got really messy because people get really heated in there. I suppose you could search for that thread and see what was said and determine it for yourself. I don't recommend making another one though, because they always tend to go nuts.

As far as I know, especially after gen V, there isn't a very clear timeline anymore like there used to be. Pokemon has become the new Zelda, but a lot less convoluted, haha.

I believe that's mistake on bulbapedia's side...
Colosseum should be treated as spin-off... I was explaining reasons in a different thread...
But as Syd said, we don't really have clear timeline (beside the BW - B2W2)...

I have another question. I just finished the main story of Pokemon Ranger: Explorers of Darkness.
I loved it (tho I loved the red rescue team's end bit better), and I just noticed that Explorers of Sky has some stuff in it that Time and Darkness do not. So my question is, if someone who played both t/d and S, if it's worth getting Explorers of time, even after I finish the Darkness (including the post-game story. I would like to get it, but only if it includes a lot of extra stuff.

Also, is there any significant differences between Darkness and Time?
Thanks

When it comes to Pokemon Battle Revolution, when importing your Pokemon from HGSS do things such as exclusive moves (egg/tutor) or event moves go in the game> I understand I had a problem in Plat when I tried to put in some of the Pokemon in their exclusive forms and what not.

Darkrai with Special Rend
Xatu with Signal Beam
Togepi with Extrasenory
for example

Well... I strongly believe that Sky is the best of the MDs.
I mean... it has special episodes that give out more information about the characters...
I might spoil you but you will see what happens with Grovyle

Nope. Only some Pokemon differences.

I've had no problem with them.

No, mystery dungeon games are not a part of the main series and there are no special events to trade any of them over to a certain version

Pokemon battle revolution Q.
I'm sorry if this is the wrong thread but I don't know where else to ask?

I have some hacked legendaries on pearl and am wondering if I will be able to use them on Pokemon Battle Revolution?
The stats/abilities/moves are not hacked, just their shininess and the location (necrene museum).
I'm not planning on using wi-fi battles with them.

[Sydian]

I think it will still let you use them, since I'm pretty sure it doesn't hack check. I remember people would use hacks in the wifi battles back when the game was popular, so yeah. You should be fine.

[hopelessangelic]

Hi i was wondering how to accept more than one mission request at once. i seem to only be able to accept one. help please!

[XanderO]

I don't think you can accept more than one this time. I think for this game its one at a time only.

[hopelessangelic]

well thatsucks... Thanks though :-)

I can't download any of the bonus content on Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Gates to Infinity. I keep getting,"An error has ocurred. Please try again later." And it's not my net. My net when I checked is connected just fine. I don't get what the problem could be.

Do you have the money to buy them?
Maybe that's where the problem lies?

Just train in other dungeons...
Wonder Mail... you mean for completing the dungeon? Nope, I'm afraid VMs don't work that way.

Can someone explain how the friend rescuing system works in the PMD games? I'm playing Explorers of Darkness and only now I'm playing with the idea of rescuing/being rescued by others, but I don't actually know how it works.

So I faint in a dungeon, what then?

If you faint in a dungeon, you will have the option for someone to rescue you. This will involve the through code or wireless to enter the dungeon you were in and reach the floor you were at. If you don't have anyone to rescue you, you faint, lose money and items.

Thanks for the reply!

If I have sent out a code, does that mean I effectively can't play the game again until I'm saved? and if I sent out my code, and someone has taken the job, they then send me back another code to say I've been saved which I input into my game?

[Archenoth]

Heyas all... I cannot seem to find any information about it on Serebii, Bulbapedia, Wikipedia, and various other forum threads... But has there been a confirmed VS mode for the new Pokemon Rumble game coming to the Wii U, or will it exclusively be co-op again?

I'm guessing the latter, hoping the former... Could someone possibly fill me in here? My Google-fu has failed me.

So uhh.. I'm at Dialga in PMD: Explorer of Time and I keep dying and having to restart the whole bloody dungeon until I get to Dialga and to just die again numerous times.. Anyone got any tips on beating Dialga? >.<

I'm a Treecko with Slam, Quick Attack, Pursuit & Giga Drain. My teammate is Piplup with Growl, Whirlpool, Drill PEck & Hydro Pump.
We're both level 49, btw.

Giving any one of your Pokémon Fighting and/or Ground moves really helps. Violent Seeds and/or Sleep Seeds help too.
