A plan to become an online battler
Today is the day I recieved my Nintendo DS!! After months of wait its finally here :D I now own Pokemon Diamond.
Now, my question is this: Since I've not even started the game, I feel perhaps now would be a good opportunity to ask how others have got to the level of battling online. So what did all you guys do? Did you play through the game to beat the Elite four, THEN train up an online battling team? Or did you train some monsters along the way of playing the story while hunting for more to use for your online team? I'm going to check out the starter Pokemon online before I chose one on the game. I wouldn't want to make a mistake here :P |
Eh, I beat the Elite four first, then I trained up my online battling team.
|
Well to be honest.
I focused on getting up to the National Dex.So i completed the Pokemon League,ect,ect. After that i grabbed myself a ditto.Started iv breeding and Ev Training. What i recommend is look on Smogon.Empoleon can be a sweeper,Infernape can take down walls,ect,ect I recommend getting Chimchar,but it's up to you. |

I'll have to get hold of a Ditto myself. Where is the easiest place I could find it? It'll be quite far into the game I imagine. |

I can trade you one. Just let me catch it. You can get it East Of Canalave so yea pretty far. You will need a PokeRadar.Which you can only get once you have the National Dex. |
You can't catch Ditto in the wild until after you get the national dex, and even then it's with the PokeRadar. You can however get national dex Pokémon before the national dex is obtained, but their summarry screen will display their Dex number as ???. So I'm sure somebody can trade you a Ditto.
However, I would reccommend finishing the game first, getting the national dex and then breeding and raising your team. Check out some of the stickies in the Strategies and Movesets forum, and PM some of the forum regulars, I'm sure they'd be happy to help out a beginner. |
Definetly learn to EV/IV train or you wont stand a chance in wifi battles. Lesson i learned while watching my entire team get OHKO'd
|
Cool, I'll go check that out now. Thanks :)

Yeah it's probably better to beat everything first and THEN train up. Otherwise you don't really have the resources with which to train your pokes. Rare candies, abras, and dittos being the most crucial :P
|
It all really depends, I have a wicked online team now so, I guess what I did was get every pokemon to hit their 3rd evolution stage (if they have one) then i beat the E4 then I trained
|
Well i didnt know what ev training was with my original party, so im training another (all from like level 20 and under) with no legends or starters
|
I train my online team in game till the e4 beat it and go online. That simple.
|
Basically what everyone else is saying. concentrate on beating the elite four first, then worry about IV breeding, EV training, etc.
|
I dont even ev. I battle all ythe pokemon i need to get the right stats. Its simple. I mean i have a caculator for a head.
