I just reported to have it moved.
But they're probably going to close this thread, and allow you to make another.

Does the Synchronize trick work on roaming Pokemon? If it doesn't, Cressy will be a big pain to SR for...

devilicious July 2nd, 2008 2:46 PM

airconditioning, Synchronize works with any wild Pokémon, including Cresselia.

airconditioning July 2nd, 2008 2:54 PM

So, the fact that only one of the eight Cresselias I've recieved so far has been Bold is simply my bad luck? That's comforting.

devilicious July 2nd, 2008 2:59 PM

Yup, seems to be bad luck only. But I know greater pain- I spent weeks SRing for a Moltres on FireRed, where you can't have Synchronize support. ;_;

I feel your pain. I've soft-resetted for both Mew and Deoxys on Emerald before. ;_;

Deoxys took less than a week, though. And I got a good Mew on my birthday.

EDIT: Also, when is this poll at the top of the page going to go away?

devilicious July 2nd, 2008 3:23 PM

But Synchronize works on Emerald, dear. :3
The only other thing I've SR'd for besides Moltres was Heatran, and luckily that took like... a couple hours.

And the poll will go away when I finally decide if I should teach Overheat to my Combusken.

sims796 July 2nd, 2008 3:28 PM

Personally, you should. Overheat was able to stop an Absol's Surf. Didn't you see May's battle?

Yeah, now I must know...how good is Arcanine?

devilicious July 2nd, 2008 3:31 PM

When I downloaded that Pokémon AG torrent, I skipped most Contest matches. ):

Anyway, I haven't ever used Arcanine, but a Mixed Set should work on theory!
I'd go with something like;

Arcanine @ Life Orb
228 Atk / 92 SpA / 188 Spe
Naïve
- Flare Blitz
- Overheat
- Hidden Power [Ground] / [Electric]
- Extremespeed

I guess it could work nicely lategame with SR support.
I'd go with HP [Ground] because I hate Heatran more than Gyarados, but that's up to you.

It does, but not on Legendaries. I've tested this.

devilicious July 2nd, 2008 3:48 PM

Oh, that's right. I remember reading something about that. :B
Well, it's not like I own Emerald. I've just borrowed my friend's so I could use some Tutors.

Anyway, I heard that there's a special Pokémon Ranch Flygon? Is this true?

Nope.

These are all the Pokemon you can get from Hayley.

luke July 2nd, 2008 4:09 PM

I can't get the poll to go away. So we'll treat it like a painting or something that's really ugly but was really expensive, so we keep it around anyway to brag about how expensive it is.

sims796 July 2nd, 2008 4:09 PM

Did you recieve the Tangela yet? How is it? Is it any good?

airconditioning July 2nd, 2008 4:23 PM

Ooh, I think I might have gotten a good Cressy.

Cresselia, Bold
22-23/x/26-27/28-29/28-29/x

Not perfect, but looks pretty decent, especially since I only started SRing a few hours ago. Is it good enough for a RestTalk Cresselia?

sims796 July 2nd, 2008 4:45 PM

That looks very good.

MOAR HP.

airconditioning July 2nd, 2008 4:58 PM

Yeah, true. I could open up Pokesav and bump that number up a bit, but I'm just not the type. :/

sims796 July 2nd, 2008 5:00 PM

You're in quite a jam. soft reseting, as you know, ain't like breeding. If you give that up, you may not get another like that for a while.

airconditioning July 2nd, 2008 5:13 PM

I think I'll keep it. I mean, what are the odds that those ten points of HP are REEEAAALLLY going to matter? Surviving by only a few HP doesn't happen too often. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v634/Gamerman/Image%20Macros/yelwacko.gif

sims796 July 2nd, 2008 5:22 PM

That's what JOO think. Personally, for walls, I shoot for at least 27 HP. For fickle sweepers with base 100 sumthin' speed, those 31 IVs are non negotiable.

Those few HPs can hurt at times. Not like defense, as moves can bypass HP, and result in toxic killing youa turn earlier than usual.

Food for thought.

Spoiler:
*The Moar You Know...*

Matt-O July 2nd, 2008 5:24 PM

Dude, those IVs are good. You would have to be an absolute perfectionist to get rid of that. Even without completely flawless IVs, well Ev'd Pkmn can do awesome in the hands of a good battler.

The way you say that makes me want to soft-reset...

Ah well, I already hit the buttons, so it's back to SRing for me. :/

Matt-O July 2nd, 2008 5:35 PM

Way to have self esteem ac. I'm not even that great at battling and my slightly less than perfect Pkmn do fine.

airconditioning July 2nd, 2008 5:42 PM

That's not what I meant. You just sounded like one of Serebii's Ash-Ketchum-wannabe scrubs. SO LONG AS I EV TRAIN MY MODEST HERACROSS WITH 0 ATK IVS I CAN BE THE BEST BATTLER LIKE NO ONE EVER WAS

But hey, while we're on the subject, is CM Cresselia any good? Because I just got this Cresselia:

Cresselia, Timid
28-29/31/30-31/0-1/24-25/30-31

I would keep this in a heartbeat if those Atk and SAtk IVs were switched. :/

EDIT: Whoops, flawless Defense. Didn't notice the 'Capable of Taking Hits'. :D

Gulpin July 2nd, 2008 5:43 PM

I have this team in the makings:
Crobat, Cloyster, Poliwrath, Jumpluff, Camerupt, Vileplume
Major weakness to Psychic, and Waters w/Ice moves (starmie)
What pokemon should I replace, and what should I replace it with? I came up wich these, but I'm unsure:
Parasect (UU) , Cacturne (UU), and Shiftry(UU)
