Do you put your Pokémon on 'roids?
 
I used to use up at leat 50,000 Poké a week buying drugs for my Pokémon.
I just like to end battles really fast, like those annoying Trainer battles.

I use all of the drugs they sell in Veilstone City.

Hah, who else likes to cram those things down their Pokémon's throat?

when i quickly want to kill the elite four to level up yeah

Hehe, I do.

I love buying the vitamins for my pokemon. ^^ It helps their stats, and of course, I'm all for that!

Tudj September 21st, 2009 12:50 AM

I dont use the drugs, I just train for so long I reach stages at each time of the game where I am 20+ levels ahead of every trainer (including Gym Leaders).

LethalTexture September 21st, 2009 12:55 AM

You mean such as X attack, X defence etc or Calcium, Zinc etc?

The latter simply add 10 EVs to the given stat which can be done up until your Pokémon has 100 EVs in said stat. The in-battle items are a waste of time and money; they're only really useful in extreme situations.

I do, but I usually only focus on Speed, or Special Attack at a pinch. I like my boys to be able to strike first. ;-)

I use the vitamins only for EV training; however, I *did* eventually EV train my in-game team after completing all of the post-game scenario. When I go back to face the Elite Four, they're a bit easier now :P

X-items are sold by me at the first opportunity (except for X Accuracy because of in-game Double Team abuse).

Princess Pichu September 21st, 2009 9:00 AM

I do, I use for them for almost all my pokemon. I prefer it over EV-training. Sure, the vitamins are expensive, but aren't very time-consuming. :]

The X-Items can be really nice against Champions/Red. But most of the time i just sell them, there are better items to store in the bag.

Timbjerr September 21st, 2009 12:06 PM

I always sell X items anyway...never really liked them. I have, however, seen people speed run the RBY era game by raising a Nidoking with Horn Drill and Fissure, using an X Accuracy at the start of battle and sweeping everything. o_0

But as for vitamins, I use them to make EV training easier, so yeah...

Apostrophe September 21st, 2009 1:18 PM

I use Vitamins on my Pokemon if I find them, but I never buy them. When I use them, I usually just use it to boost the stats that desperately needs it. For example, if I get some Zinc/Calcium, I'm obviously going to use it on my Sandslash since it lacks in Sp Def and that would make the biggest difference.

Sapphir September 21st, 2009 1:51 PM

I use the Vitamins for EV training. They can give a max of 100 EVs for each stat, which saves me some time since it's faster than battling.

The Vitamins that only last in battle, or the "X" items, I never use. They just stay in my bag, because I forget I even have them with me.

560cool. September 22nd, 2009 10:42 AM

Woooooo
I gave a lot of Carbos Drug to my Gengar . Now he has 456 speed at Lv. 100 . He just loooves these drugs but he can't eat anymore :/

UltimaWeapon September 23rd, 2009 2:36 PM

No, not really.

You can't use the vitamins for their final EVs so it really doesn't do any good. I wish you could - it would make EV training SO much easier.

Nudge September 23rd, 2009 3:24 PM

I can honestly say I've only used them like once or twice, I never really bother wasting my money on them.

Citrinin September 24th, 2009 5:37 PM

Yes. I'll quite often buy stat-enhancing vitamins for my Pokémon. :D
