Finally my quest for finding and capturing a real 4"4Hy has paid off. But thanks to the super annoying Missingno. with Super Glitch,

it turned out to take a lot longer than I expected.
But It's here!

Now I think I'm ready to trade it over!
OR I would like to do it by the mew glitch, then having a link battle with the right special stat in order to really capture it on the save I'm going to play on. But so far it's looking promising, I hope to have begun the real challenge in my next update :)

Also, I think I'm going to evolve it into a Q when it gets past the super glitch level, but I would like to do it before it learns TM09(the move), because that might be interesting :D

I was planning on posting this yesterday, but Bugsy's Scyther keeps killing me, even with reflect. Even with the exp. from my rival, it still kills me(U-Turn in my opinion is cheap, but that's my opinion, but I use it myself, so I'm a hyprocrite :p). I'll tell you what happened up to Bugsy. I hung out with Falkner a little longer than expected. Falkner just caught a Hoothoot and a Caterpie(Good luck training that ;)), and we were having a good time. Of course, there is that one bad moment. Korra, unfortunatly, found out about Falkner's house of Pidgeys and Pidgeottos, and made a slaughterhouse out of most of them. Realising how much time has gone by, Falkner and I bid our farewells, apoligizing about the mass murder by Korra. Route 32 was cakewalk, and Union Cave was very easy, although the Koffing trainer did a good job in poisoning Korra. Now Team Rocket was a little harder, the easiest Pokemon to take down obviously being Rattata. Proton almost killed Korra with confusion-hax. After kicking Team Rocket out, I defeated every gym trainer for exp. I also defeated my rival for exp. after losing to Bugsy and resetting three times. Even then, I kept losing. That is where I'll end for now, time to grind. Question for James: When I go to grind Korra, is it ok if I hack Blissey in to train against or is it against the rules? Anyway, Korra the Bayleef is Lvl.23 with: Tackle, Razor Leaf, Synthesis, and Reflect. See you later with a new update.

I know grinding can be a real pain, I hate that part of the game, but I'm gonna have to say no for this one. Hacking is hacking even if it's just to train.

 

[Thebeast21799]

I guess you're right on that one. :) Well, I might as well do the farfetch'd quest and grind up at the same time, and then again, there is always a point in a Pokemon where you have to grind. Ack. I remember a year ago when I played Pokemon Platinum and did a Torterra solo run, Candice was so annoying, Torterra was Lvl.64 when I first battled her. Torterra could kill every one of her Pokemon except that stupid Froslass, which was 20 levels below Torterra and outsped it with 100% accurate Blizzard. Gwah! I must've lost at least 10-15 times before finally outspeeding Froslass and OHKOing her with Crunch, so I'm not new to this. Just a experience I thought I'd share with you guys. e me if you had a experience like that before too and it's time to grind. Well, hopefully, Lvl.24 will be enough, but if off, I'll keep grinding one level up until Korra defeats Bugsy. See you later with an actually update. :)

Oh, and James, I just noticed. I was just looking at the first page and noticed that under my name, you put one bage for Kanto and none for Johto. That was something I just thought I'd notify you f that.

I actually had that on my Tyranitar run as well. Misty was such a killer, so I skipped her until Pupitar had finally become a Tyranitar, lol :P she was still unbeatable until I had grinded up...

But if you're on emulator, speed button is your lifelong friend ^^

 

[niallmuz]

just come across a problem in my challenge, does anybody know how i can beat Roxanne the gym leader with my vulpix? i just looked up vulpix's move set and didnt see a move i thought could be useful against Roxanne?

 

[BrakeNeck]

As it isn't possible to catch a Growlithe until Lavender Town I hacked one in immediately, and his name is Decimus.
After a little bit of training I challenge my rival Leaf to a battle, and defeated him with moderate effort.
Decimus and I traveled through Viridian Forest to Pewter city. Upon arrival I challenged Brock's Gym, and sadly lost.
So I returned the forest to train Decimus more, upon my second attempt I successfully defeated Brock and obtained the Boulder Badge.
I then continued my journey fighting off trainers and pre-paring for Misty, the water type gym leader.
Prior to challenging Misty I heard rumors about nugget bridge, so I went fourth towards the challenge.
Before I could even get on the bridge Leaf cut me off and challenged me to a pokemon battle. It was rough, but Decimus and I pulled through successfully.
I then proceeded to challenging, and conquering Nugget Bridge.
Afterwards I returned and challenged Misty, I lost the first battle barely, but then returned and defeated her Cascade Badge obtained, now to continue my journey above Nugget Bridge as there's no other exit from Cerulean City.

Progress 2/8 Badges. Fire-Red

Sorry but I guess you're just gonna have to grind a bit. By level 21 Vulpix could learn both Confuse Ray and Will-O-Wisp which can be very useful against her.

Oh, and James, I just noticed. I was just looking at the first page and noticed that under my name, you put one bage for Kanto and none for Johto. That was something I just thought I'd notify you f that.

Thanks for pointing that out, I fixed it. :)

Last update for my Pokémon Black run!

Finally, at long last, Bugsy is down for the count. After countless minutes of grinding Korra, I got lucky. I started off the battle by using Reflect, Scyther using Leer. After that, I started tackling the crap out of it, stupid Sitrus Berry. Eventually, it used its killer U-Turn, switching out to Kakuna. Easy kill, although it made me use a antidote. Scyther came back out, and got a lucky critical hit Tackle. Where was that before when I needed it?! Anyway, Metapod basically lost, pure logic. Yeah! Bugsy finally gave me my second badge. Onto Goldenrod for me. From here on out, expect way more post now. Korra is Lvl.28 with: Tackle, Synthesis, Razor Leaf, and Reflect. Any moveset suggestions are always welcome, and see you later. :)
