3rd Gen Simple Questions

[Toothache]

Good Water types include Tentacruel, Kingdra and Lanturn. All of them are very useful for different purposes. I'd personally use Kingdra the most (only one weakness), but Lanturn can Thunderdance as well, and has good defences. Gyarados makes for a better physical sweeper, stick Dragon Dance on him if you can and let him rip.

 

[doomsday_shadow]

well, i think Ill let gyarados learn Dragon Dance and then breed it with a Horsea and evolve baby horsea to Seadra(Emulator)

hey the code for 255 pokeblock with 9 feel does not work
for AR 3.3 anyone know one?

 

[Simon]

I think you mistoke this for the Codes thread...

 

[adam513]

does anyone know the odds of finding a shiny pokemon

 

[Mundane]

A simple question about slaking, actually three of them..
1. is Vigoroth a better pokemon?
2. Choice banding+hyper beam. is that the best thing for Slaking?
3. Will hyper beam cause this: first move, hit. second move, loafing. third move, exhausted?

 

[Simon]

Adam, ask about codes in the Codes thread, not the simple questions.

1. Slaking's stats are better overall in my opinion.
2. Possibly. Hyper Beam with it's already high attack power and STAB+extra from choice band is enough damage to OHKO most Pokemon. But if it comes across a Ghost type, Slaking is done.
3. First: Hyper Beam Second: Loafing Third: Hyper Beam again

The Traunt ability cancels out the exhausted effect of hyper beam.

I've got a simple question about Azuril. I tried breeding two Marill together and instead of getting the Azuril I wanted I got another Marill. But this thought popped into my head, so I'm asking to make sure. Do I have to breed two Azuril together to get an Azuril?

 

[Simon]

You breed to 2 Marills or Azumarils to get a Azuril. But one of the Marills or Azumarills have to be holding Sea Incense.

can u get the regis before the elites....?
and how can u get more than one timer ball?
i have one but i want a bunch

 

[adam513]

theres only one timer ball unless you use codes and no you have to beat the elite four befor you can catch the regis


Frostweaver Edit: it is adviced that all answers for the Simple Question threads should be double checked to see if they're correct, before answering and possibly misleading others... >_>;

 

[Simon]

Yes, you can get the Regis before beating the Elite Four. I just never bothered with them until after the E4. Never saw a use for them

You can buy Timer Balls from the Rustboro PokeMart for 1000 bucks each.

 

[salamenceruler04]

What is the location of all the rare candies in the game and all the vitimins in the game?

 

[Simon]

Erm...there aren't a lot of Rare Candies in the game just laying around. I've actually never found any before. Try using Linoone's Pick Up ability and see if that 5 percent (could be more...) chance of picking up a Rare Candy comes through for you.

Same goes for the second question. You can buy them though. Sometimes the guy seliing them in Slateport sells them for half-price if you see his ad on TV.

 

[Frostweaver]

Found Often
Super Potion (30%)

Found Sometimes
Ultra Ball (10%)
Full Restore (10%)
Full Heal (10%)
Revive (10%)
Rare Candy (10%)
Nugget (10%)

Found Rarely
Protein (5%)
PP Up (4%)

Found Very Rarely
King's Rock (1%)

(from pokefor.tk)

Do note that pickup for a MAJOR nerf in FRLG ;_; but it still pickup rare candy at a 10% rate.

 

[Blitz]

thsi is wat screwed me over on pickup, so make sure Zigzagoon (or Linoone) isn't holding an item, cause that is how they pick it up (i always thought that after the battle it would say something like: Zigzagoon found a ......). Also, check back on it often to see if it got nething.

 

[salamenceruler04]

When u have a linoone with you and your are just walking out in the middle of no were and there is a item on the ground...i screen will just pop up and say the linoone found somthing??

 

[Frostweaver]

Nope. It doesn't tell you when pick up activates. You just have to check your Pokemon party if the Pickup Pokemon has an attached item for no apparent reason. Detach the attachment on the pickup Pokemon, and it'll be the pickup item.
