Hmph! Zapdos bleh....
 
I catched a Zapdos, and it didn't have a single electric attack. It learns thundershock at level 35 or something but u catch it on level 50. you cant breed it to get thundershock too... It only learns thunder at level 86 or something, but theres already a TM for Thunder..I'd like to have thunderbolt for zapdos....

Toothache September 9th, 2004 9:31 AM

You can trade it to Ruby/Sapphire, get a Heart Scale and re-learn the move

LãzyÐudê September 9th, 2004 9:32 AM

Level Up.It learns Thunder on Lv.55 or Lv.60 :rambo:

Toothache September 9th, 2004 9:37 AM

Tesla wants Thunderbolt, not Thunder. Besides, you can get Thunderbolt TM from Ruby/Sapphire Game Corner, or from Colosseum at Mount Battle

Frostweaver September 9th, 2004 9:38 AM

It's not like Thundershock or Thunder are good to use anyway... thunderbolt TM all the way! And it's infinite if you got RS...

well I havent completed pokemon league yet so i cant get to islands 4-9 and make the time machine thing work so i cant transfer via them i believe O_o anyway i have it on rom (to be honest). it hasnt been released here yet.

and i cant get thunder bolt in Celadon city.

Shadow September 9th, 2004 2:07 PM

Celadon game corner. Get the TM there. You have to be patient with the slots though -.^

rampage333 September 9th, 2004 2:11 PM

To earn alot of money, catch a persian/meowth or equip a amulet coin to a pokemon to get the money.
persian/meowth can use payday The quiped amulet coin fight with a trainer attack with only payday...

Haru!! September 9th, 2004 2:14 PM

Why don't you use the thunderbolt you got from LT surge.

rampage333 September 9th, 2004 2:17 PM

that is Tm 34 shock wave though it donesnt miss but it deals an average damage to a enemies...

Philbro September 11th, 2004 5:03 PM

Ok this is what you do. ON island two tehre is a guy who wants some tiny mushrooms (use thief on a paras to get one or catch one) one will get you a new move that you learnt in teh past. There ya go. It works by the way. I wanted articuno with powder snow (starter move)

AdamHays September 11th, 2004 5:04 PM

the best i moltres cause he get sky attack, but yeah zapdos sucks.

Simon September 11th, 2004 5:07 PM

Sky Attack? 2 turn moves are bad. Always. They all give your opponent a chance to switch out to a resistent Pokemon type. Then pwn your 2 turn move using butt.

Philbro September 11th, 2004 5:10 PM

Anyways if ya want to learn it that just re teach it it. If not erm ill think of a way to do it after exploring. I find oenf or you. It will work.

That statement within say... netbattle forum, will get too much people angry. Yes it's weakened compare to GSC due to EV split (so no more mix sweeping for Zapdos and drill pecking bolt) but still it's quite fine to use...

Zapdos- [speed + / atk -] @ lum berry
EV: speed and sp.atk, maybe sp.def too
-light screen/drill peck
-thunderbolt
-thunderwave
-HP Special

well yes I know calmkou > zappy but at least you traded in your ground weakness for a weakness towards rock and ice and resistances over fighting, bug and grass?

Moltres and physical attacks do not mix...

Moltres- [sp.atk + / atk -] @ white herb
EV: defensive and sp.atk max
-sunny day
-overheat
-hp special
-agility

It will hurt A LOT. If someone does the sunny daying as well, you're just messed.

Why powder snow for cute little huggable Cunny anyway? Just can't help but wonder...


Either way my turn for question... does VS Seeker actually upgrade the trainers? This picnicker east of Saffron says how she loves Meowth the first time you battle. Using the VS Seeker to battle her again and she says she loves Meowths AND Persian instead. Hint that she'll eventually upgrade and get a Persian on her team of 3 Meowths...?

Philbro September 11th, 2004 5:43 PM

Yes it does. The Camper near Vermilion cahnges from here pidgeys to pidgeottos to pidgeots. Scary. Yeah some do some don;'t just try them.

Frostweaver September 11th, 2004 5:48 PM

Ooo... *take notes*

I just hope that some of the engineers in Vermillion gets those 3 Magnemites to Magnetons... hehehe... super experience along with super sp.atk EV AHAHHAHA *evil laugh* cough cough o.o;

Philbro September 11th, 2004 5:54 PM

I like bicycle road myself. As they have weezing x 3 = 3000 exp Anyways i think zapdos should go erm swimming.
