4th Gen Someone called my on my pokegear and told me something useful.

Jack can also inform you of Stomp doing double damage on a Pokémon who uses Minimize. It's just a few of the move oddities that exist in these games.

Impo, Safeguard + Thrash/Outrage/Petal Dance doesn't seem to work in HG/SS as much as it did in the past games. Lance's Dragonite got confused while Safeguard was under effect on my first E4 playthrough. I thought it was weird, but yeah...

 

[BleuVII]

I didn't know about Rain Dance/Thunder, but I was also surprised when I got that call.

I really wish I could call everyone back and say, "I just became the League Champion. I am not impressed by your (failed) attempts to catch low-level unevolved pokemon. Please stop calling me."

 

[GlitchCity]

Hmm thats pretty interesting. Maybe I shouldve kept defense curl for my Azumarill.

 

[EmeraldSerenade]

Swagger+Own Tempo Then copy with Psych Up. Quite useful.

 

[Yusshin]

Jack - "Did you know if you use Defense Curl, Rollout's power goes way up?"

Wow! Someone called me and told me something useful that I actually didn't know!

I thought everyone knew that ):

The only thing I didn't know was that when you walk, Pokemon come out less often. I kinda suspected it, though.

 

[Gymnotide]

Well, I thought everyone knew about Defense Curl by now. Incidentally, it also increases the power of Ice Ball.

Did you know, Gravity lowers the evasion of all Pokemon by 40%? This makes any move with 60% or more accuracy always hit, and increases the accuracy of less accurate moves by 67% (but not moves that OHKO). It also prevents the use of moves that involve jumping or flying. It's a very powerful weather move.

How'd you not know that? I figured that out in crystal. XD

 

[Kanto]

I can't believe that less pokemon by walking slower ordeal. That NEVER works for me. But that defense curl/rollout combo is new to my ears. It seems that Gamefreak finally up'd the anty(sp?) on that pokegear of there's.

 

[EJ]

Defense curl + rollout has been in effect since Gen. II guys lmao

But I had no idea about how useful the move gravity is....*Plans team around this*

 

[MrGhost]

Yeah, I was pretty happy to hear this until they called me and told me about it about 12 more times.

In HGSS, after you get the shoes, you can talk to this guy on your way to Violet City who is standing on the path close to the Mr. Whoever It Is's House with the PNK Apricorn tree in the yard and he will tell you that the running shoes are great but will attract the attention of more wild Pokemon.

Because running means louder footsteps, I guess?

 

[Pebblycone]

Actually I also got told something useful once: If you walk through the grass slowly you get less pokémon then when you run though it,.

I would agree, if I didn't have the Hg + Ss guide book, cause it says that in there.
But yes, that is useful info.

ALSO if you play the Pokemon March with ya radio, more come.

I probably talked to that guy, then, and that's how I knew before that guy called me about it << *talks to all the NPCs :P*

 

[Neil Peart]

Big news: Youngster Joey wears shorts because the bandages make him look HXC

 

[Neko Keeshi]

defence curl/ice ball is the same thing btw, it should raise the base attk

 

[PirateSam]

I got one of these made a killer in my team.

Abomasnow with Blizzard (Youre thinking well duh!?)

But his ability is key here! Makes blizzard get much much much stronger.

 

[RuRuBell]

I already knew that from somewhere...I think it was in Pokemon Stadium 2?

 

[thadarkcookie]

Wow.. Really, That's odd, Defense Curl Raises Defense not Attack.. hmmm, guess you learn somthing new Everyday.

well best i remeber rollout for how much power it does is base on defense that what i heard

 

[EJ]

Rollout is base 30.

Once defense curl sets in, it's 60. Of course that power keeps growing every turn...

 

[Eggie Poo Poo]

That's not really important, it's much more important to know that Joey's Rattata is in a league of it's own, like its the best Rattata ever dude!
