todays swarm is makuhita so if anyone wants one let meh know :)


as for shiny news , im going hunt a bit on my old games inbetween playing on dp , maybe get a shiny or two to bump my count to 30 shiny pokes caught :)

Lt. Surge's Raichu May 1st, 2007 4:51 AM

Well, i have hunted some, still no luck, still i am trying.
Good luck to everyone

Dragon Tamer Ed May 1st, 2007 7:11 AM

I got the Pic of Destiny, lol, It's actually of Shiny Carvanha:

http://img453.imageshack.us/img453/1470/carvanhams4.jpg
The bottom part says "Careful nature. Met at Lv29, Route 119" It is Male, was caught in a Master Ball, and has Pokerus. (I'm preserving the virus in my Ruby)

He's evolved and fully EV trained now, and ready for the Beauty Contest. After which, I will train him to Lv100 and give him his battle moves. (Well, most of them. I'm going to tutor Ice Fang onto him when I transfer him over to Pearl.)

On a related subject, today after my first exam I went downtown and one of the game shops has imported Pearl. And at a good price too. YAY! So I'll be heading back there tomorrow (or on Friday when I have no exams), with money. Though I may not be allowed to play it until May 16th, I may try to have a go while everyone's asleep. ;)

Now, which shiny to hunt next... All my (good) non-legendary ones are Water type, so I need to break that chain for definite. Preferably one that can effectively sweep and fly/levitate...

Well, most of it is just my common sense. When the moves were revealed, I tried to construct movesets for the Pokemon. And Smogon has a whole section dedicated to discussion of D/P as well. You must not have been there for a while.

Iron Defense
Hypnosis
Rock Smash

RS slave/Stall Dialga and keep it asleep

Flash
Psychic
Shadow Ball
Thunderbolt

Flash slave/Special sweeper against Galactics

[email protected] Claw:
Razor Leaf/Wood Hammer
Earthquake
Synthesis
Crunch

Other Physical sweeper against Galactics

I can keep most of my regular team on deck since Dialga doesn't pull any stunts like Rayquaza does. (Rayquaza Rests and Confuses itself)

I'd like to take a few test runs to make sure I can catch the thing 98% of the time, but given the length of one trial from the point at which you can still leave, that doesn't seem to be an option.

Looks nice. However, I'm not sure that you need Flash at all. My brother caught Palkia yesterday, and he said you only need Rock Climb, Surf, and Rock Smash to get through Mt. Coronet. Unfortunately, he was too stubborn to listen to me to at least get a Palkia with a decent nature. =/ I'd also put Light Screen as your filler move, it'll help with your other Pokemon surviving Dialga's hits...

So far, mine is planned to look like...

Adamant Synchronize Abra
Teleport
Lol, I still have to catch an Adamant Synchronize Abra! =(

Careful Bibarel
Yawn/Super Fang/Rock Climb/Rock Smash
I'm loving this thing ever since you mentioned it, MM. Did anyone here notice that it can counter the expected standard movesets DDTar and DDMence? I might put some other HM over Rock Smash because I'm not completely positive I need it. I did a quick scan of the maps in the guide book last night, and I'm absolutely sure you need Surf and Rock Climb, though.

Hardy Infernape
Nasty Plot/Flamethrower/Grass Knot/Close Combat
Well, it's my shiny Pokemon, so I won't be taking it out of my team. It'll basically sweep everyone.

Relaxed Bronzong
Hypnosis/Light Screen/Gyro Ball/???
Need help with the last move...makes Dialga sleep easily, and sets up Light Screen for others. It'll also come in handy when I'm fighting other people, I guess. Takes hits from both ends of the spectrum pretty well. Maybe Earthquake as the filler?

Bold Gastrodon
Surf/Ice Beam/Yawn/Recover
Um, because I can? It has (well, will have) Yawn, and if (for some reason) Bibarel dies before getting Dialga to 1 HP with Super Fang, I can spam Ice Beam or something...

I'm open to any suggestions anyone may have.

I'm now training my normal in-game team...I've only gotten a third of it "complete" (Infernape and soon-to-be Bronzong). Luxio and Staravia will be replaced, and the female Bold Shellos I have will be bred with a male Wooper to get an offspring with Yawn...as soon as I get to Solaceon. I don't expect to find a shiny while training. Good luck, everyone.

Oh, and congrats on the shiny, DP.

Edit: Another thing, MM, I've heard that Dialga/Palkia are quite easy to catch, so you (and everyone who plans to catch one in the future) should have nothing to worry about.

Edit2: I noticed that your team has no "Syncher", MM...do you plan to go for it normally? Either way, good luck. Why are most of your Pokemon holding somewhat useless items?

Lots of people are hunting Dialga. Three others at SPPf are hunting for it right now, too. Looks like you have some competition!

I'm off to catch a Careful Bidoof, which shouldn't take too long with my Careful Synching Abra (I knew it would come in handy!).

King Kobra May 1st, 2007 2:48 PM

Shiny Update:
Scyther: 5300 SRs. My mom got me a car charger for my DS, but get this, THE TIP DOESN'T FIT. It doesn't even resemble the tip shown on the back of the box. ><

What's this whole Synchronize thing you're talking about? Does it give better chances of a shiny?



<I>Kobra<I>

shido May 1st, 2007 3:10 PM

synch is to get a specific nature not a shiny XP they are hoping that by using synch when they get __ shiny it will have the synchers nature

It's Just Fufu May 1st, 2007 3:39 PM

I've made it to Solaceon. Now I can breed for a Shellos with Yawn...but I have to train Wooper. Luckily, this Chansey I just caught has a Lucky Egg!

Does anyone have a Pokemon with Flame Body or Magma Armor? I'll trade you something for it.

I wonder if I'll find a shiny Murkrow in the Lost Tower...heh, that'd be awesome. Good luck, everyone.

mew42003 May 1st, 2007 4:15 PM

heyy ppl srry i was gone 4 so long. but i got 2 new shinys. Palkia (From GTS) and Manectrike.

MetalMario May 1st, 2007 5:31 PM

^ I really don't remember who you are. Could you please remind me? :P

Fufu: I totally forgot about Abra. I may have to replace Girafarig with a Kadabra or Zam. I also forgot that I wanted to have an extra free slot to snuff out stats with to make sure Synchro's working. Oh, and all the Persim berries are there because the Galactics are totally obsessed with Confuse Ray. On my first play through, two of my pokes killed themselves from it. (which is exactly why I stock up on Revival Herbs--discipline! >=]) I also have very few good hold items on hand.

Training up my team's a pain, but it's a pain that could lead to shinies! ;) Bibarel's L50.

I see your point about the confusion problem. Luckily, none of my Pokemon have ever died from it, but they've come ridiculously close. I'm not worried about that though, my Infernape and Gastrodon (the two main Pokemon that I'll be using to beat Team G) will most likely be fast enough and strong enough to OHKO their Pokemon.

I'm in Veilstone City getting my third Gym Badge...Fly will be a godsend, and I really need to battle some rich people so that I can get some money.

DDD'SSCEPTILE May 2nd, 2007 12:06 PM

I told Shido I wouldn't return unless I got a new shiny, and here it is:

Shiny Gastrodon

Uh, yeah. One of those very vague difference Pokemon. U_u; but a shiny is a shiny, and it's my 7th. This by no means is stopping me. I'm just scanning over Diamond (which I've completed) now for better places to search while raising my Pokemon to over Lv. 60. I also have Pearl, which I'm gonna start playing soon.

Good luck everyone. I'm glad my drought ended, even if it's not so great. (My Mom said she liked the original color best. >.>' )

(uh.... what are Gastrodons good for....? I don't really care.. it has Sticky Hold, etc.)

lol congrats on the new shiny

Captain Fabio May 2nd, 2007 1:48 PM

He he hey people. I'm back. No new shinys. the hunt is back on!

It's Just Fufu May 2nd, 2007 1:51 PM

Congrats, DDD.

Well, I've caught a Skorupi, but I have a LONG way to go before it evolves (it's at level 24 =/). I'm not going to get the 4th Gym Badge until I evolve it.

After I get Drapion, I'll just need two more Pokemon to complete my in-game team.

MetalMario May 2nd, 2007 2:10 PM

Congrats on the new shiny, DDD! (Could you please delete those extra posts? Thanks. :P) Why'd you Master Ball it? As far as I know, Shellos/Gastrodon can't escape.

My whole team is L50 except for Luxray, but I'm still training at the grass by Snowpoint (Lake Acuity?) in hopes of finding a shiny Sneasel and to prepare to reset for shiny Dialga. Bibarel and Bronzong must hit L55 before I disembark again. Lastly, which two of the pokes I listed in my team at the top of the page should I ditch for a Kadabra and an empty slot?

Unrelated, I've been totally unable to find a 4th-gen stat calculator on the web and I'm sick and tired of not being able to calculate the stats of my 4th-gen Pokémon, so I'm writing a stat calculator of my own. Even if you'd be so kind as to direct me to a 4th-gen stat calculator, I'm still going write one of my own, and it'll be better!

It's Just Fufu May 2nd, 2007 3:51 PM

MM, I'd ditch Rapidash and Girafarig. You don't need Flash at all, nor do you need Strength. And, to me, they seem to be the least important on your proposed team.

What do you mean by Stat Calculator? Do you mean something that calculates the IVs of your Pokemon based on their stat? If so, I think Metalkid has made one.

Congrats so much with your shiny ^^
I am sure you have deserved it :)

I don't believe it does 4th-gen. And I mean everything you could possibly need--IVs from stats, stats from IVs/EVs, damage calculator, move calculator, breeding chain finder, battle simulator, and an offline Pokédex better than Serebii's. It's a pet project which I'm going to do no matter what.

Girafarig's my only Special sweeper. I could see Kadabra fulfilling the same role, but I'm not too keen. I also don't want to waste important TMs on a slave. Farig's served me very well. Rapidash is pathetic in battle, so I'll probably lose her. I could ditch my flyer Staraptor. I could get home by Escape Rope and Teleport, anyway. ;)

Welcome back, Gaara! And yes, I do remember you. :)

He's made a new one. He said so at Smogon.

Psypoke has a breeding chain calculator.

I love shiny Delibird! He was like one of the first shinies I hunted after joining the SHC. Check back somewhere around page 80. ;)

I've almost done enough training to head off to Dialga. I'm still left with one question: special or physical? Fufu likes Physical, but I really don't know. Once I decide, there's no turning back.

Welcome back, Kuri!
