Where does Donphan appear? Is it in the Safari Zone?

Anti August 19th, 2007 7:36 AM

Yes, Get an acro bike and head to that part. You also get heracross there. You'll want these to be female, but if not, make them have good natures (don't settle for anything, ever).

Gabri August 19th, 2007 7:41 AM

Ok! Heading to the Safari Zone! (not now, I'll head there later)

Anti August 19th, 2007 7:44 AM

We need a final "draft" of your team before you start training. Then go to the safari. You may end up replacing it and you'd just wasted your time. So we have:

Salamence (sp. sweep)
Heracross (phys. sweep)
Donphan (Rapid Spinner guy)

Anyone else we have? A special wall is needed now...

Gabri August 19th, 2007 7:47 AM

I really don't know... looks like I have to use Grumpig or I'm doomed.

Anti August 19th, 2007 7:51 AM

No, look for feebas. It took me over seven hours, but it was worth it...trust me. Chang ethe trend phrase in dewford town and investigate the route. Use:

[email protected]
Bold Nature
Trait: Marvel Scale
EVs: 252 HP, 200 Defense, 58 Special Defense
~Mirror Coat
~Recover
~Surf
~Ice Beam

Blast Away! It's worth the search...I went through the frustration, so I know how it feels. Good luck.

Gabri August 19th, 2007 7:53 AM

Then where I'll get Chesto Berries? I think there are few...

Anti August 19th, 2007 7:55 AM

Chesto Berries? What does that have to do with anything?

Gabri August 19th, 2007 7:59 AM

To do Pokeblocks! So Feebas can evolve!

Anti August 19th, 2007 8:02 AM

Use other berries, or at least save acouple of them in case you ever use chestorest. Same goes for the lum berry. Really, you gotta catch feebas first. I evolved it in ten minutes. That's the easy part. Getting it is the nightmare. MAke sure you buy plenty of net balls.

Gabri August 19th, 2007 8:04 AM

ok. But now I'm playing emerald on my emulator, so I'll try Feebas on Ruby later.

Anti August 19th, 2007 8:06 AM

If you have emerald, can't you grad a root fossil?

Gabri August 19th, 2007 8:08 AM

But I have Ruby for GBA, Emerald for emulator.
But maybe my cousin can grab me one.

Anti August 19th, 2007 8:11 AM

Emulator? Ah, never mind. You now have milotic, so it's time for support pokemon. Good example:

[email protected]
Timid Nature
EVs: 252 Speed, 252 HP, 6 Special Attack
~Thunder Wave
~Wish
~Thunderbolt
~Light Screen

That kind of thing. It's called a supporter...for obvious reasons.

Gabri August 19th, 2007 8:16 AM

Raichu is a good one, it isn't like Magneton, who has a bit more power but is SLOW like a snail. But I'm not sure if Raichu can learn Wish. The other attacks are alright.

Anti August 19th, 2007 8:24 AM

Raichu can learn wish, so wish I don't have to leave now. Comeup with a pokemon to counter those you haven't.

Gabri August 19th, 2007 8:29 AM

Hm... I will get those. But at least Swampert remains...

Anti August 19th, 2007 9:24 AM

Swampert needs to be EV trained...

Gabri August 19th, 2007 1:29 PM

Swampert may be EV trained or may not be, but I'll remain with it because it was my starter.

Searched for Horsea, Skarmory and Feebas without sucess, caught Phanpy and Heracross with sucess. I'll search for the others tomorrow.

Anti August 19th, 2007 1:48 PM

Really, without EVs, swampert goes bye-bye. It NEEDS EVs. Trust me. If you have to, start over so you can have all the TMs and can get a female starter. Swampert should be gone w/o EVs, really.

Uh, not exactly. There are several differences between the two versions, so why post that comment? It had to do with getting the root fossil, but never mind. About the comment about surf, it actually doesn't. Earthquake and ice beam cover nearly every type water does. Really, its only use on swampert is STAB. In other words, both comments were incorrect...MysticManyula is new to this so we need not to mislead him. Use the spell check next time BTW. Okay, get a some dittos in the desert underpass after the E4 on emerald...that way you can breed a your male swampert. Try this set:

[email protected]
Relaxed Nature
EVs: 132 Special Attack, 100 Attack, 156 Defense, rest in sp. D
~EQ
~Ice Beam
~Roar
~Rest/Counter/Endeavor/Rock Slide/Brick Break

Lots of choices. I recommend one of the last two moves or rest.

Gabri August 20th, 2007 2:39 PM

Caught Skarmory and Horsea. Feebas is SUPER-difficult to find, I've searched for around in 100 tiles, 2 hours and nothing. So, as I have Spoink, I'll evolve it into Grumpig and have a special wall.

Skarmory @: Ganlon Berry/Apicot Berry/Wacan Berry/Occa Berry
Trait: Sturdy
Impish Nature/Relaxed Nature
Spikes
Whirlwind
Drill Peck
Substitute (To activate ganlon Berry)./Metal Sound/Pursuit.

Anti August 20th, 2007 3:46 PM

EDIT: Ignore the weird link...don't know what it's for...

Uh, he can't get ganlon berry w/o coliseum, so lefties will have to do. Still, with only one game, we'll have to come up with some items that aren't lefties. Now I'll do grumpig:

[email protected] something else...
Calm Nature
EVs: 252 HP, 252 Special Defense, 6 Special Attack
~Calm Mind
~Taunt
~Rest
~Psychic

-OR-

Same...
~Splash
~
~
~

Okay, here's the real second set:

Same...
~Reflcet
~Light Screen
~Psychic
~Rest

I'm no grumpig expert, so feel free to chime in.
