3rd Gen I Hate Slaking!

[Jay12345]

I haven't fought the 5th gym in R/S in a while because I just bought saphire and already had ruby. Man it kept using that move that he gives you the tm for and he had so many potions, I finally took it down with my Aron. Anyone else hate that?

 

[Pirate]

Slaking? no, those are the easy ones, because of the slack off thing. Vigaroth was the only hard guy norman has.

Also, where do you catch slakoth?

 

[Morkula]

Vigoroth is a whole HECK of a lot easier than Slaking for me.

And, Pirate, you get Slakoth in the Petalburg Woods. They're pretty rare though.

Well with Slaking having the highest Att in the game it is no wonder [not including FR deoxys]

but since the gym leaders don't have EVs
it shouldn't be so hard
specially with a few good protects...................................................

 

[VanirElf]

did you happen to cause a status on salking or vigoroth?
'cuz causing status on those pokemon when they use that move
it makes the move stronger

I decided to give 'em a taste of their own medicine
I used my own Vigoroth to fight them
it's soo strong and no slack off so the slakings are toast
for it to have a strong move if u go with it

get a female slakoth to breed with a lv.20 male torkoal
the torkoal should know body slam
then u can raise a slakoth/vigoroth/slaking with body slam
it's very powerful

...I think Norman is probably the hardest gym leader

 

[Frostweaver]

...I think Norman is probably the hardest gym leader

Considering that he got 2 Slakings which has the strongest attack power besides ubars using Facade (which gets STAB), it's darn strong x_x; Vigoroth is a lot weaker but it got slash instead of Facade, which is higher in power by a bit. Also Slakings have pretty good defense too.

And the worst part must be the max potion ._.;

 

[Ice demon]

i know their defenses sucks........
however yawn them and attack with breelom/blaziken......................
thats what i did....
and one or two protects.
but never the less they were hard.....

 

[salamenceruler04]

I dont like slaking to much either...when i have to fight my dad i hate them...but im sure if i would use one im my party i would hate them any more

 

[Ice demon]

Well with a base stats totaling that of Groudon and Kyogre how can u not hate him??
Good thing he has that crappy ability....
but then in 2v2 a nice skill swapping Xatu will take care of that.....

Well at least 2vs2 sucks XP

 

[salamenceruler04]

I hate him because i dont use him in my party and when i have to battle him i always lose

 

[zsun_44]

I just hate its Truant ability... he always seem to lose when i battle with him in the battle tower. Next time I'll remember to get rid of its ability when i shark him again... XD

 

[Shion]

I actually like Slaking, with Hyper Beam, Earthquake, and Shadow Ball, but that is not the topic.

 

[Mr Cat Dog]

Well, I found Slaking quite easy. Protect then attack, then Protect then attack. When Protect runs out, I switch to a Special Pokemon (like Blaziken) and Leaf Blade/Muddy Water/Blaze Kick/Whatever to death. Vigoroth was easier, but only just, since Fury Swipes seemed to do a load of damage and it kept on hitting 5 times... My poor little Manectric nearly fainted. :(

[VanirElf]

I love Slaking and unless i'm building a themed team I always include it
my team.

I hate it's ability though...but it's attack power is awsome so I guess it
works out since it's not a legend and all

 

[GlockStopper]

i thouhgt it was easy and that was before i had my gameshark. just a couple blaze kicks did it

 

[Marill909]

I didnt find the fifth gym all that hard. I just raised up my Hariyama a bunch before i battled so i had a higher level and the type advantage.

 

[Blazin'ken]

Anyone ever have to fight a Slaking with a skill swapper to help him out?

A friend of mine pulled it off on me, eventually changing Slaking's "Slack off", into my Ninjask's "speed boost". Man, did I feel stupid then...

I'm not a breeder, so I don't know if you could breed Skill Swap ONTO Slaking himself... my friend used a Xatu to facilitate the stealing of my ability.

Everyone uses that in 2vs2, and it's always Xatu because it has the best ability to swap with as well. Since it's always Xatu, it's not hard to use Aerodactyl and Flygon to do the job with double rock slide.

 

[Houndour2004]

Is it possible to find Slaking in other places than in Petalburg?

 

[Frostweaver]

No...?

You have to get Slakoth in the forest and train it up
