Slotted in LR cartridge so I can go off and catch Magby also using Thief to get a Magmarizer to evolve them into Magmortar. Only managed to found one and caught a Magby while I'm at it.

Plan to train my Weavile and Magby to replace my Rampardos and Staraptor who previously fought the Elite Four with me.

loliwin April 30th, 2010 11:06 PM

I'm up to Snowpoint City and i'm ready now to beat Candice with my full on team of lv 40 charizards. xD

Christopher May 1st, 2010 12:54 AM

Hunting Moltres got its life down into the red using m awesome Gengar's Shadow punch now all I have to do is find it again and throw some ultra balls at it

also debating whether or not to keep my Garchomp or replace it with a cubone

Black Dunsparce May 2nd, 2010 8:49 AM

Currently at Hearthome City with a lv. 37 Empoleon. I really need to trade over all the steel Pokemon from LeafGreen to my brother's Platnium (but he needs to beat the Pokemon team first) and than trade them to my Pearl.

[Current Team]
Empoleon.

[Future Team]
Empoeloen (Starter Pokemon) [Steel/Water]
Mawile [Steel]
Scizor [Steel/Bug]
Skarmory [Steel/Flying]
Metagross [Steel/Psychic]
Heatran [Steel/Fire]

Plus, see the drawing I did of my future team here: http://whitelantern.deviantart.com/art/Pearl-Team-161609145

shookie May 2nd, 2010 8:20 PM

I made the decision that I should go ahead and grab Palkia and Dialga before I forget...
So, I challenge Gym Leaders and do all of the Poke-center battles to get my Flygon up to 53, thinking that'll be good for them. I get up to 70k in money, buy 60 Dusk Balls, 20 Timer Balls and about 15 Max Potions, and some spare change for Escape Ropes/Repels. Get all the way up to Spear Pillar.
Several Dragon Claws + two Dragon Breaths brings Dialga to red, and rather than risk it, I decide to chuck balls at him.
The first Dusk Ball sticks. I'm still sitting here laughing about it. >_>

aaaand I'm more than sure Palkia will be annoying.

Edit: WHAT. The same thing just happened on Palkia. I feel like I missed something.

t3nt4t0r May 3rd, 2010 2:56 AM

ok thanks guys,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Shiny Heracross May 4th, 2010 10:40 AM

Just restarted Diamond, so I figured I would start a travel journal.
My team planned for the E4 is:
-Torterra
-Vaporeon
-Magmortar
-Magnezone
-???

I'll probably update tonight, any suggestions for a fifth pokemon that's not commonly used?

iShini May 4th, 2010 11:00 AM

In the Platinum adventures of Umeko, it's been about a week since she's beaten the Elite Four and the Champion. X)

My current plans are to continue levelling my current team, assemble a second team for fun and to investigate Stark Mountain. Oh, and assembling Pokemon for the Battle Frontier. X)

Same here. I had a sleepover with a friend so i was using his DS to trade legendaries over from Platinum to my SS. I went to Spear Pillar (after finally finding out how to activate Dialga and Palkia) and used my Lv100 Vaporeon. Two Surfs and Dialga was on red. One Poké Ball and it was mine. Palkia survived one Ice Beam with red HP and then the same happened. Now I'm boasting to my friends that I caught two legendaries in two Poké Balls. XD

I ended up getting Mesprit and Articuno with only one or two Dusk Balls too, I guess the catch rate really does sky rocket at night. Zapdos and Moltres still outspeed my catch slave, though. :(

Aquerex May 5th, 2010 1:26 PM

Just re-started my Diamond. I was thinking of going with Platinum, but I just really like the originals of everything.

PiPVoda May 6th, 2010 6:22 PM

Well after not playing since March I'm making my way to the resort area. My team:
Lv.61 Empoleon
Lv.59 Garchomp
Lv.55 Magmortar
Lv.54 Staraptor...

I'm going to go catch Regigas real quick..then I'm thinking of starting a new game. Still debating if I will. Not that happy with my team.

Edit 05/08: Okay, so I restarted and chose Turtwing for my starter (first time for me since I always choose piplup). Named myself PiP, and Turtwig is of impish nature..I got tired of trying to get Adamant and after an hour of turning on and off I was like screw it. Going to Proffessor Rowan's lab now, and later on today plan on catching a Shinx or Pachirisu.

chikorita125 May 7th, 2010 4:25 PM

i finally caught Darkri, Shaymin, Dialga, and Palkia on my platnium game, yay. i could never catch them but thanks to dusk balls it worked.

Christopher May 7th, 2010 11:47 PM

beginning the process of leveling up my pokemon to evolve them so I can fill my pokedex
ran out of money and dusk balls trying to catch legends so now having to abuse the Vs. Seeker

current team
Torterra-lv.77
Gengar-lv.71
Linoone-Lv.37 (training/pickup)

Burmy
Mareep

Porygon Z May 10th, 2010 6:49 AM

eBay May 10th, 2010 11:55 AM

Leveling up my Aggron and Aerodactyl right now, since I'm done with EV training them.

shookie May 10th, 2010 12:46 PM

I've been thinking about it for a few weeks, but I finally decided to go ahead and level up to beat the Elite Four a second time. So, I'm changing my original team (the numbers are the levels they were when I beat them the first time):

Luxray (68)
Gyarados (53)
Azumarill (59)
Infernape (57)
Giratina (57)
Medicham (57)

I was thinking of choosing a different Ice-type in place of Gyarados, since it's currently the lowest leveled, and dropped Giratina in favor of something that wasn't a legendary. Articuno was my original choice but that defeats the point of not using legendaries, and the other two Ice-types I had didn't really quite work up to the same level (Ice moves+Levitate = win), so I ended up with this:

Luxray (88)
Gyarados (53)
Azumarill (75)
Infernape (74)
Medicham (65)
Tropius (53)

I still have a lot of leveling to do, so I'll probably end up giving up and just using my highest levels whether or not they have a type advantage. >_>

Aquerex May 10th, 2010 3:23 PM

Just restarted my Platinum for the heck of it.

I plan to only have 4 Pokemon mainly used on my team, and the other two for HM slaves (Bidoof + Zubat)

This is what my team should consist of before I get to the Elite 4:

Torterra
Staraptor
Azelf
Garchomp
Togekiss
Bidoof

Christopher May 11th, 2010 7:34 AM

Kai Yamato May 21st, 2010 11:39 AM

At long last... I finally beat Palmer! I never thought I could pull it off.

Palmer took out my secret weapon (Electivire) with a critical hit Dragon Rush, but I was able to finish off what left of HP his Dragonite has with Lucario's Extremespeed and quickly knock out his Rhypherior with Aura Sphere. However, Lucario fell to his Milotic's Hypnosis and Hydro Pump. Torterra was my last Pokemon and it got hit by Hypnosis, just when I thought I was finished, Milotic missed Hydro Pump and Torterra woke up just in time to finish it with Frenzy Plant.

I didn't use any held items whatsoever too...

Sora247_2009 May 26th, 2010 10:07 AM

Restarted Platinum a couple days ago. Started off with Turtwig, but forgot to save before I got it, so I couldn't SR if it had a nature like Modest. Luckily, It had a decent nature, Lonely. After clearing all the boring stuff at the start, I caught a Shinx, and began training it. Roark was extremely easy with Turtwig's Razor Leaf, even allowing Turtwig to evolve after the battle. My Shinx then evolved against the 2 Galactic Grunts in Jubilife City. I beat Team Galactic in Floarama easily, with Luxio scoring a 2HKO on Purugly with Spark. I sped through Eterna Forest, and got to Eterna City. After healing, I headed straight to the east, to catch my 3rd team member, Bronzor. Right now I'm training my newly aquired Bronzor.

Current Team:

Grotle lv20
Lonely Nature
Razor Leaf
Curse
Tackle
Absorb

Luxio lv22
Rash Nature
Spark
Tackle
Charge
Bite

Bronzor lv17
Quirky Nature
Confusion
Imprison
Confuse Ray
Random Psychic move I can't remember

Charizard632 May 30th, 2010 12:32 PM

Last Saturday Night, I was going to the Wi-Fi plaza, and I got into the rare Mew Room! I was amazed by that!

Ikitsumi May 30th, 2010 2:52 PM

Finally, the first time I've touched Platinum in awhile. I trained a couple of Eevees to add to the collection, getting a male Glaceon and male Umbreon. I also worked a bit at the Game Corner, trying to see if I could get the bonus rounds. I got in fairly quickly~

shookie May 31st, 2010 8:52 PM

I've slowly been chipping away at my (pre-used) Diamond game, just got my third badge and went south from Hearthome to get to Pastoria, and found my second ever (random encounter) shiny!
...a Starly. /headdesk

empty streets June 2nd, 2010 5:06 AM

Haven't touched my Diamond in MONTHS 0_0
But it is easier to EV-train there than in HGSS, so...

Cought 100500 Dittos with Raichu's help until I finally got the desired natures.

cystar June 4th, 2010 1:57 AM

Finally completed the Pokedex and is now working on conquering the Battle Tower.

SquirtleGirl June 10th, 2010 10:23 AM

Picked diamond up today for the first time in a good while =D

Currently levelling my team to go to Stark Mountain, have no idea why but my Dewgong and Espeon need serious levelling up as they only joined the rest of my team [Gyarados, Torterra, Honchkrow and Luxray] after the league :P

Should be an interesting adventure ^.^

Kai Yamato June 10th, 2010 10:22 PM

Caught Regigigas and Giratina. =D Dusk Balls does wonders.

Dylan1 June 11th, 2010 9:46 AM

back when i first got pearl, something amazing happened on spear pillar. palkia was there, i walked up to him, i pressed A, the battle started, i tapped the pokeball window, i tapped quick ball, and the battle was over that fast

JackGamer June 13th, 2010 11:04 AM

I've been trying to get my Eevee to love me and for it to be happy- so it evolves into an Umbreon. It's getting increasingly happier, but not enough... :|

Aquerex June 14th, 2010 2:16 PM

Oh, look, I restarted AGAIN!
Jeez, I can't ever finish anything.

So I just got to Oreburgh Gate and caught myself a Geodude. Training my Chimchar so it can evolve and learn Mach Punch to take on Roark.

Ruin Maniac June 15th, 2010 12:24 PM

Break Attack June 18th, 2010 9:09 AM

Going to attempt to beat Palmer a second time at the Battle Tower, I've already beaten him once, but the streak ended and I'm almost caught up to that streak again.

My team includes: Gyarados, Electivire and Porygon-Z, but for the Palmer battle I'm thinking about going with Latias, Garchomp and Porygon-Z.

Ruin Maniac June 19th, 2010 2:39 AM

Travelled back to Solaceon town to trade with my retarded friend
He give me a SHINY Gible for a budew

My Team
Monferno-lvl 31
Staravia-lvl 31
Gyarados- lvl 31
Drifblim-lvl 32
Luxray-lvl 31

Still think it's a pretty good team for a guy who hasn't beat the third gym yet.

Hiiragi June 19th, 2010 3:06 AM

I just owned Palmer in the battle tower, now on to the battle hall! ^^

Ruin Maniac June 20th, 2010 5:56 AM

Went from Solaceon to Veilstone via route 210 and 215.Good exp train for Staravia and Monferno.

beginning to run out of stuff to do (I refuse to do contests) So I am doing E4 rus leveling up my pokemon planning on making a team for each type save dragon (too uber for me) and beating the e4 with each type based team

Faline June 25th, 2010 11:10 PM

For the 6th day in a row, nothing obtained in the Lottery (I have all the last digits for ID, so I'm presuming theres a limit to how many things you can win with that alone)

Finally got around to linking Ranger to Diamond, hatched egg getting my second manaphy, put the first one I had in the day care finally and obtained Phione.

Eryes June 26th, 2010 1:47 PM

I had to restart my game a while back, which cost me a lot majorly because I was at the E4. I started over with a Chimchar but as I went along I caught two canivines, traded one for a turtwig and traded a Kadabra for a Piplup, which has a nickname I can't change. Finally I traded a Kadabra for a Riolu, my second one. So far I'm doing better in this time around with the pokemon I have now. Wow, I just love this game more now.

Zenius June 26th, 2010 5:19 PM

Playing Platinum for the first time right now. My starter is Piplup, and Fantina can go die in a fire. That damn Mismagius of hers manages to one-shot everything I have! (I probably need more training, as the strongest Pokemon I have is a Staravia at level 24.) I have Diamond (which I had to restart because I got stuck on the Elite Four), but as far as I'm concerned, it's lost. However, I remember having a traded Roserade at level 100.

Faline June 27th, 2010 1:04 AM

Decided to make some adjustments in my team.

Something struck my head and I suddenly wanted a Zangoose instead of Lucario and a Leafeon instead of Crobat.

Now I have to breed those two for the preferable natures and EV-train Zangoose and Leafeon, which I never raised before <3

DoctorFred June 28th, 2010 9:07 AM

I just recently beat the game and took some pokes from ruby and leaf green:

Sceptile
Swampert
Heatran
Charizard
Dialga
Garchomp

Still unable to find Pearl game cartridge. *stomps around angrily*

Faline June 29th, 2010 9:56 AM

I've been trying to breed and train a team designed for the Battle Tower so that I can get the items I need to train my actual WiFi team. So far I've managed to hatch a good Trapinch and train it in Speed (don't have the Attack power item yet and I'm waiting until I hatch and fully train my Starmie to go back to the Battle Tower to get it), and I'm currently in the process of hatching tons of Eevee eggs to get one with good IVs in HP, Defense and Special Defense so I can make my dual wall Umbreon. I've gotten a few decent ones; in fact, the last one I hatched had a perfect Special Defense IV! However, it's Defense and HP were really bad, so I stuffed it in the PC.

Kai Yamato June 29th, 2010 9:21 PM

On my Platinum, long story short.

Went from Pastoria to Canalave. Evolved my Pikachu knowing its stats aren't any better after it got taken down by the rival's Staraptor's Take Down. =_= But yeah, went through Iron Island and sweeped through the entire steel gym with Infernape. Didn't wasted much PP and Byron never stood a chance. :)

Humph... July 1st, 2010 5:54 PM

I have a story, about my Rapidash...

Once, when i was a begginner at making breeding experiments (it was my third or fourth...and now i have my pc full of lv.1 pokemon(good thing i now have herath gold!)...)
Well, I was just wondering what would happen if i left my male Infernape with a female ponyta(i was expecting a chimchar, i still ignored the fact that offspring will always be the mother's species) and i did it. I had 5 eggs in my party and my Infernape. I was riding in the cycling road up and down, up and down, up and down... And then a "What?"
appeared. I looked expecting to see a chimchar with a rare move, iwas thinking "OMG! i will get my chimchar!"(i was excited) and then, i saw the silhouette of a ponyta. My thoughts changed to "NOOOO!!!!! A PONYTAAA!!!!" but when I saw the blue flames it had
i was amazed (it was the second shiny pokemon i had...and the first was taken away from me...). I began training it and it is now very strong, the Rapidash that once i hated is now one of my favorite pokemon.

shamin32 July 1st, 2010 7:18 PM

I get my first pokemon, chimchar train it up and evolve it so it learns mach punch catch shinx and starly and now its time to beat roark my shinx and starly are useless so its monferno takes down all of his POKEMON yay for ME!! :)

institutions July 1st, 2010 8:40 PM

I posted here a while ago with my freshly restarted (almost typed retarded) diamond game. However, I let my cousin restart it again, so I restarted my brother's unused Platinum.

Team:
Level 52 Ursaring (Snargles)
Level 57 Torterra
Level 37 Golem
Level 23 Shiny Metang

Right now I have 6 badges. My current objective is to go check up on Douche (Barry) at Lake Acuity by Snowpoint City (and also get my 7th badge while i'm there.) ;D

Crysta Blade July 2nd, 2010 6:42 AM

Finally getting back to Pearl in about three months.

Anyway, finished EV'ing up my Modest Misdreavus, who is now level 40-something. Before my fourth Badge. =P

Speaking of Badges, took Wake to the cleaners courtesy of a Luxray and a Cherrim. The battle went something like this:

Luxray gets a critical Spark on Gyarados. One down, two to go.

Cherrim comes out for Quagsire, I muck around with Sunny Day, Growth and Leech Seed before finishing with Magical Leaf.

Floatzel one-shots Cherrim with Ice Fang. Bad call, but I win with one more Spark from Luxray.

institutions July 2nd, 2010 1:34 PM

Ursaring got us through Route 216 and 217, but it was pretty tough with all the hail buffeting him.
As we reached Acuity Lakefront he had grown to level 60.
Douche was waiting for us there, but told us we'd need to beat the Snowpoint Gym Leader to climb the rock wall.
We headed over to Snowpoint after grinding Metang up to a level 45 Metagross so his attack would finally top his defense.
First we hit the Pokecenter so I could take Golem out of my party. He just can't get the job done most of the time.
The gym's puzzle was frustrating at first but then we got it down.
Metagross defeated all of the trainers and took out all of Candice's pokemon but Bullet Punch, earning us the Icicle Badge.

Team:
Level 60 Ursaring (Snargles)
Level 57 Torterra
Level 51 Shiny Metagross

Going to grind Metagross a little more to get him up with the other two before I head out to Lake Acuity.


Well, I guess since no one else has posted since my last one I have to edit this one with the new stuff.
Went to Lake Acuity for no reason apparently then flew back to Veilstone.
We healed up and headed up to the Galactic Building, but Looker stopped us and told us to go to the warehouse.
Looker met us in the warehouse and unlocked the door for us. He told us to lay low, as he ran full force into the Galactic headquarters. Idiot.
Long story short, we destroyed everyone there.
After a long dungeon crawl we fought Cyrus. Metagross kicked all of his pokemon's asses, because I was still training him.
We also fought Commander Saturn (I think?) and then freed Azelf, Mesprit, and Uxie, three very unneeded legendaries.
Cyrus said he was going to Mt. Coronet so we followed him.
After like an hour of more boring dungeon crawling, we met him at the top.
Douche and I disposed of Commander Mars and Commander Jupiter easily.
After Dialga and Palkia were summoned, Giratina opened a portal from the Distortion World.
Cyrus went into the Distortion World, then Cynthia showed up and we went in too.
As we traversed the Distortion World I was thinking "Whoa, this place is awesome."
Then I got to the strength rock puzzle thing and went "Nevermind."
Eventually we found Cyrus again and I kicked his ass for a third (and hopefully final) time.
I caught Giratina and we got the hell out of there.

We flew back to Sandgem to visit Professor Rowan and Dawn.
Rowan told us to go to Sunnyshore City for our last badge, so that's what we did.
We also killed all the trainers along the way. Woohoo.
At Sunnyshore City, I bought tons of seals and put some on Metagross' and Ursarings' Ball Capsules.
Leader Volkner was being lame at the top of the lighthouse, so we made him go back to the gym.
After defeating all of the trainers in the gym, we fought Volkner.
Ursaring killed all of his pokemon using Close Combat and Thrash, earning us the final badge.

Outside on the shore, Jasmine gave us HM07 Waterfall for some reason that I don't understand.
We surfed north, destroying trainers along the way and finally reached Victory Road.
We healed up, and I saved and quit for the night.

Team:
Level 68 Ursaring (Snargles)
Level 60 Torterra
Level 65 Shiny Metagross

Next update will most likely be going through Victory Road, defeating the Elite Four and Champion, and getting the National Dex.

Faline July 3rd, 2010 7:35 PM

I beat the Elite Four today on Platinum (again), which was a fair old slog given the levels of my team (level 54 was my highest before starting, with 48 the lowest). I struggled against Lucian, but eventually came out as a 1-0 winner. Upon starting the battle against Cynthia, I tried to formulate a tactic to beat her. Her Togekiss turned out to be a real trouble, hitting 2HKOs on pretty much my whole team, so I'd only get one attack in before I'm beat. However, this was all done when switching out my own Togekiss upon beating her Spiritomb. One time, however, I decided to continue with using Togekiss, and prepared by buffing its Special Attack twice with a couple of Nasty Plots. Then, somehow, I managed to 6-0 her. o.o; My Togekiss took such a punishment, and its health must've gone into the red at least two dozen times. In the end, it survived with 12 HP, and a Poison status acquired just before dealing the final blow. xD;

Le Creep! July 4th, 2010 4:01 AM

institutions July 7th, 2010 2:28 PM

Forgot to update.
Went through Victory Road, blah blah blah.
Beat Elite 4.
Don't remember what levels my pokemon were after it. 70s or so.
Beat em with Metagross, Ursaring, Torterra, and Feraligatr.

Spent an hour finding the rest of the pokemon I needed to see for the National Dex (damn you Hippopotas.)
Caught the rest of the legendaries minus Heatran and Regigigas.
Quickly ran through the island, idk what it's called, with the Survival Area, Fight Area, etc.
Caught Heatran.
Transferred the Regi Trio from HG and caught Regigigas.

Finished. :P There's nothing to do post-game on here, especially when i'm already post-game exploring and training on HG.
I transferred all of my important pokes and legends over from Platinum to HG and gave it back to my brother to restart again. Sadly I forgot to send over a Razor Claw, so no Weavile for me D:

bigtukker July 8th, 2010 1:26 AM

Got through the Eterna Forest

Got myself a shiny Totodile and a shiny Sneasel, which I am now EV-training. They will be sent to my SS game afterwards. Also I won't let Croconaw and Sneasel evolve, I just don't like their evolutions.

I'm so happy with them <3

Off to Twinleaf.. I'm raising the Attack stat there by fishing -_-

Ilovetogepi July 9th, 2010 6:46 AM

I restarted pearl :) I have JUST beat roark. Started with chimchar, caught a shinx machop (traded) and abra. I am restarting lol. ;) Wish me luck

Faline July 9th, 2010 7:02 AM

I found that Lithium, my Lucario, was actually not helping my team very much, so I had a flick through the pokédex and did a few trades while I decided on a sixth team member, and Sodium the Salamence found her way onto my team. It took me a few hours to train her up so she was equal with the rest of my team, but it was worth it, and she's now my favourite pokémon to take chaining with her diverse moveset.

I also have EV trained 3 pokémon for the battle tower, and will finish that team when I find an attack-boosting power item. It consists of Bastiodon, Dunsparce and Kidoking, and made me very happy and accomplished when they were finished training, and they're being leveled up in my Diamond game now.

Now onto chaining. Well I decided I wanted my own shiny, and have chained Castform, Dunsparce, Spoink, Hondour, Doduo and Slakoth, and haven't got a single shiny to show for it. Now I'm chaining Pinsir, I can't hold my breath!

Team:
Sodium, Salamence, Female, Rock Smash/Flamethrower/Zen Headbutt/Dragonbreath
Flameéd, Combusken, Female, Ember/Quick Attack/Peck/Focus Energy (@EXP Share for 'dex fills)
Propane, PorygonZ, Ice Beam/Psychic/Signal Beam/Thief
Carbon, Charizard, Male, Heat Wave/Fly/Defog/Cut
Lutetium, Leafeon, Male, Magical Leaf/Dig/Aerial Ace/Strength
Ethanol, Empoleon, Male, Surf/Waterfall/Rock Climb/Earthquake

Ilovetogepi July 9th, 2010 9:28 AM

Restarted pearl. Started with a male gentle piplup. Highest stat is Sp. Def. Yay for water types!!

Christopher July 11th, 2010 11:17 PM

I've been running around Sinnoh finding items looking/breeding for shinies training pokemon trying to build a team I like but I can't settle on the right pokes.
I've also been considering getting another Platinum as I want to start over but I will never delete my current save file

Faline July 13th, 2010 2:18 AM

Defeated the Elite Four for 35 times as of now. :D

encas July 14th, 2010 1:57 PM

Currently, I'm chaining Pachirisu at Valley Windworks in my Diamond. I'm at 32 at the moment, but I'm trying to slowly nurse up the chain, as the last thing I want is to break it this far into the process. And yes, I'm looking for shinies; I've got a KO'd Calm Synchronizing Ralts at the top to increase my chances of getting Calm ones.

For some reason, I feel that this chain will yield a high number of shinies if I don't break it. I already have one Calm shiny Pachirisu, but I want one with better IVs, which is why I'm chaining in the first place. :)

Westie7 July 18th, 2010 10:03 AM

Decided that I disliked my illegal Diamond Monotype challenge (literally everything was traded in from another game as an egg) and deleted it. I have decided to do a Generation Duo Run with Phanpy and Natu instead. Now I just have to catch a female Phanpy in Ruby safari zone to send over to my other Diamond to breed. Great.

§acred†Beo! July 19th, 2010 10:19 AM

Lieutenant Unstable July 19th, 2010 9:39 PM

Trying to migrate all my items/pokemon from Emerald to Platinum so I can start over on Emerald and have cooler stuff on Platinum, lol.

Also hatching Totodiles, Cyndaquils, and Bulbasaur's for my future Pokemon shop here on PC, and trying to hatch a shiny Poochyena, lolol.

"My team is in my Siggy".

I will actually Update soon, but for now, just to much info.

WOOT I AM NOW READY TO TAKE ON THE ELITE 4

Porygon Z July 26th, 2010 2:27 AM

Got Dialga and Palkia an hour ago. Now I'm taking on Heatran, then Mesprit!

JAK3 July 28th, 2010 5:14 AM

I beat the Elite Four, and you could never guess how happy I am, it's been awhile since I have beaten the Elite Four in ANY Pokemon game, infact, I think the last time I did it was about 3yrs ago. Anyways, I'm surprised on how easy the Elite Four is, Aaron is quite easy, taken down mostly by my Toxicroak, and my Luxray did some damage too.


Bertha = Shiny Lumineon Sweep.


Flint was.. Easy? I only had one Pokemon that could sweep his team, and that Pokemon is rather Frail, so I used a mixture of Lumineon/Garchomp.


Lucian is the toughest of the Elite Four, because Psychic types are Awesome.. Torterra/Garchomp/Froslass combo in there, Froslass was helpful in this fight though, because she is so speedy.


Finally, Cynthia:

Terribly hard. I took a risky move here, I lead with my Froslass so I could set up hail, because I knew what was coming next. I immediately Switched out, and went to Garchomp to take down Spiritomb, finally, her own Garchomp came out, A.K.A the team sweeper. I went into Froslass, and it outspeeded me, and hit me with a Flamethrower, I was terrified because my Froslass usually doesn't take super effective hits very fond, but, I was down to 17hp.


The Hail stopped.

I was screwed, I couldn't hit that Garchomp with Blizzard knowing my luck, but, believe it or not, I hit it, and Garchomp was down, the rest was easy, next she went to Lucario, I earthquaked it with my Torterra, then Togekiss, easily taken out by Luxray, then Milotic, kinda scared me because Milotic is awesome. But, it was taken out rather easily with a combo of Luxray/Garchomp. Then, Roserade comes in, Dig from Garchomp, almost killed the Roserade, then it Toxic'd me, I just Dragon Clawed it for the win. Now, I am the champion.
