    Wow. A 1% encounter rate?

    That's preeettty rare. It seemed like a 20% encounter rate, but maybe I'm just lucky.

    Also:

    *I was just playing my Normal Monotype on SS and I encountered a shiny Hoothoot. This is before you get Pokeballs, so I was forced to run away. That was actually my 3rd legit shiny encounter ever. =)*

    1% random encounter. By that I mean walking around. It's as common as Pidgey or whatever while crushing rocks. Edit: Yes, there is. Rock Smash gives you a 4 - 8 level Dunsparce, running around gives you a level 4 one. And I'm complaining since I can't even use Rock Smash yet.

    *Related to shinies, I've seen 2 shiny Geodudes so far, but I didn't bother catching, since I don't want to waste 2 Pokeballs on Pokemon I really don't need. :P*

    Ohhhh, now I get why you can't just Rock Smash to get a Dunsparce...nevermind, then.

    Anyways, I'm currently at Sprout Tower with my Sentret (Ringtail) and Spearow (Ace), both level 7.

    EDIT: I never thought Dunsparce was a particularly GOOD Pokemon. Is there any advantages with it?

    Steel Mono-Type Challenge (Chapter 1)

    Hello EJ, I be doing a Steel Mono-Type Challenge :)

    I will start with a Beldum that i gotten from the Winner Path (i spend a lot of time on this)

    Update #1

    - Picked Chikorita as my starter (using it as HM slave)
    - Done the usual thing get a egg and pass the egg back to Prof. Elm (What is he thinking? asking a 10 yr old child to do all the dirty work for him)
    - Fight my Rival along & Name it Paul (Been watching too much pokemon anime)
    - Gotten my Beldum from the Winner Path =D (Okay Chikorita you done a great job till date - you will spend the rest of the game learning HM skill now)

    Update #2

    - Reached Violet City (Fought a few trainer along the way & lucky for me all their attack is weak and usual against Beldum who have clear body)
    - Sweep Sprout Tower with ease & Gotten TM Flash (Saw my Rival Whopped the Old Elder at Sprout Tower & what i did? i decided to Join in the Fun and Whopped him again)
    - Next Stop Violet Gym & Falkner (Only 2 Pokemon ? I mean Most trainer have 6 pokemon i guess that Bird Pokemon just don't fly pass this City a lot)
    - Collect TM Roost & Zephyr Badge
    - Rush through Route 22 & my target is Union Cave (Yay time to add another Pokemon to my Steel Team)
    - Caught Onix & i saw a Random Flamethrower Fatso trying to sell me stuff that he have (something caught my eye - A Metal Coat)
    - I Trade Onix with some random guy that i meet in Pokemon Centre & it Evolve into Steelix (Welcome to my team - Guess that a Nasty Looking Snake will be a useful bodyguard for a 10 yr child trying to travel around alone)

    Badge 1/16
    Current Team
    Monotype Challenge (Ver. 2.0)
    Beldum Lv 14 (Steel/Psychic)

    Well, I want it because I just love Dunsparce, but it's ability Serene Grace is amazing, and makes all chances of special effects (Paralyzing with Thunder, Flinching with Headbutt, etc) doubled.

    Edit: Well, I guess that's WHY I love it. Well, that and I used it in my first playthrough of Gold ever, so it's "special" to me. :l

    Um...also, you need at least two Pokemon to send one to the Pokewalker. Did you, by chance, have more than one Pokemon? Because all it says is that you got a Chikorita, then you magically got a Beldum.

    Ehehe...I just like poking holes in people's updates...sorry =P

    UGH. FINALLY FOUND DUNSPARCE. Phew. I think this playthrough will be similar to the last one, where almost my entire party was female, which is what it's starting to look like now. (Not that I have a problem with that, it's just a bit weird in my opinion.)

    NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! RUN AWAY ABILITY. FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU-!

    Yeah, I guess that's true, but I don't want to fight the first gym with just a Pidgey. :( Nor do I want to catch a Rattata or Noctowl.

    Out of the Three i suggest using Noctowl - At least till after 1st Gym - Or you can grind on the 1% or in fact 0.5% when you consider it have 2 abilities.
