Meh, it's more of a fan favorite, as long as you have spinner support.

But there'sbeing creative, and being justplain noobish.

devilicious July 1st, 2008 4:23 PM

Yeah. One thing is using your favourites to their best, another thing is Ice Fang Glaceon.

Dark Azelf July 2nd, 2008 5:14 AM

Fake Tears/Wish/Ice Beam/Hidden power Fighting Glaceon is a nightmare, and especially because the thing is so bulky >_<.


Anyways, i have heard about something called the "Pursuit Glitch", that being if you ko one of your opponents pokemon with Pursuit and you have a Choice Item attached, you are allowed to change moves after when the opponent sends in their next pokemon, is this true ?

Help about a shiny Ponyta
 
Hello!
I recently caught a shiny Ponyta and lv. 17 and I don't know what to do with it; leave it lv. 17, train it, evolve it? If I have to train it, how will I EV train it ( i mean with what stats).
Thank you.

True Justice July 2nd, 2008 6:09 AM

I would check the IVs first. If they are in the single digits, then I wouldn't bother with it. Or if you don't want to train it, you can always keep it as a trophy.

Houndoom88 July 2nd, 2008 6:25 AM

It would be a good idea if I trained it to lv. 100.
But what stats do i have to increase?

True Justice July 2nd, 2008 6:31 AM

Probably Attack and Speed. Rapidash's Attack and Speed are it's highest stats and it has a few good Physical Moves (Flare Blitz and Megahorn) but if you want to talk about what stats it should have, you should request to Mod to move this into S&M.

hey guys, not to make a big dela or anything but whats the difference between plates and items?

Sharp beak and Sky Plate?

Eisaku July 2nd, 2008 7:17 AM

What's wrong with using that? Atleast, I'm just wondering?

It was present in the early Japanese versions, but was corrected in the NTSC-Y and PAL ones.

Should I put Flamethrower or Lava Plume on my Heatran? I like Flamethrower for more power but Lava Plume has a 30% burn chance.

devilicious July 2nd, 2008 10:20 AM

Mo Man, what set are you running? I'd use Fire Blast / Flamethrower on any set but the Restalk/Bulky one, which then I'd go with Lava Plume.

Matt-O July 2nd, 2008 10:27 AM

The set is:
[email protected] Orb (when I get another Life Orb)
40HP 252Sp.Att 216Spd Timid
Earth Power
Lava Plume/Flamethrower
HP Ice
Taunt

devilicious July 2nd, 2008 10:38 AM

Hm, Life Orb set... I'd probably go with Flamethrower, then. If you're going to get in for the sole purpose of hitting hard, then it's best to hit as hard as you can lol.

Matt-O July 2nd, 2008 10:40 AM

Okay, thanks. You don't happen to have a spare Life Orb do you? I've already got something holding the one that I have.

airconditioning July 2nd, 2008 11:02 AM

I've got a hacked Pearl save, and I'd be happy to trade you anything you need. :)

El Gofre July 2nd, 2008 11:04 AM

Can someone tell me why I've been seeing a rise in the use of porygon2 in DP games? Trace aside I don;t see any advantage.

Matt-O July 2nd, 2008 11:05 AM

Thanks, I just need a Life Orb. Do you want anything for it?

I think because of the Trace ability, but I am not 100% sure/

FireApe2135 July 2nd, 2008 11:12 AM

It is the trace ability... that is it ...

It has Trace, a simply awesome ability, and is way bulkier than Porygon-Z.
P-Z sucks, really. I find P2 superior even in sweeping with the Charge Beam set.

Not particularly. Just tell me when you're going to be on.

EDIT: Actually, I could use a Combee for my Ranch. If you have one you can spare, that'd be great.

Matt-O July 2nd, 2008 11:31 AM

Okay, I'll be on Wifi in a couple of minutes.

Pretty much, it can also be tailored to counter threats such as Heatran, Gyarados, physical salamence and to some extent Garchomp.

This thread is not for organizing trades, do it via pm, vm etc. Just not here.





@Deviruchi, thanks, i thought that glitch was too good to be true XD.

Houndoom88 July 2nd, 2008 12:19 PM

How do I send a message to them?
I want it to be moved to Strategies & Movesets .
