Unless you can settle with Gyarados or Tentacruel(both very good choices, their pre-evolutions are just annoying), you won't have much of a choice for pokemon that get STAB on water type moves. Octillery is a pretty popular choice, but you can find Remoraid on route 44, which is after Mahogany. You can also find Staryu by surfing on route 47, but that's pretty late as well. They're all great choices, it just depends on how long you're willing to wait.

There's always wooper, also learning ground moves.

My entire team is level 60, and I need to get to lvl 70 to challenge the new E4. I can't challenge all the gym leaders to a rematch, as that would take forever, and you can only get their numbers/challenge them at certain times.
Where could I train from 60-70?

As I see, there's no super great way to train at the higher levels. I'd strap on a Lucky Egg and fight the highest level pokémon you can with the highest experience yield.

Reset the DS clock to get all of the gym leaders numbers, then choose a Pokemon from your team and match it with a gym leader that it can sweep the whole team. (ie. Brock and Bellossom, etc.) Set the DS clock to the time in which you call need to call this gym leader, call them, and battle. Rinse and repeat. I got my full team of level 60 Pokemon to level 70 Pokemon in waaay less than a day. The hard part is getting all of the phone numbers and constantly changing the DS clock. Each battle gained about one level if I only used one Pokemon, untill some of them it took two battles to get the higher levels.

Soo.. my friend is having problems with her soulsilver game. everytime she tries to trade pokemon with someone it says something about disconnecting as soon as they enter the trading screen. I'm not really sure what she's talking about since I've never had that problem and she can trade pokemon with me just fine.

Anyone else have this problem? Or have heard of it and care to explain whats happening? ;_;
Please and thank you.

Where is the guy that helps pokemon remember moves? I need to find him or her. I'm evolving my precious shinyeevee with adamant nature and perfect attack iv into a flareon. Is it good if I let it learn fire fang, since it's a physical attack

He's in blackthrone city.

Since fire fang is the only physcial fire attack that it can learn, then yes. Its the best attack for Flareon. ^_^

That being said, Flareon is a pretty meh attacker in that sense. I suppose that if you're only willing to use your current Flareon you could use Fire Fang and the CB set, but shiny pokémon are gimmicks that won't affect how good you are or how cool you look in competitive gameplay. I suggest checking out the other Flareon sets.

Notch ear pichu March 30th, 2010 9:14 PM

My flareon already knows wish, yawn and soon fire fang. What should I get for the fourth move? And my cyndaquil knows extrasensory, swift, flamthrowe and attract! Which is better? Flareon or cyndaquil ?

Well... it really depends on what you're using this Flareon for. Are you using this as a competitive pokémon, or just in-game? If this is for competitive use, then I suggest takin' a peek at the S&M forum. It may be a bit more helpful for that sorta thing. If it's just for in-game use, I suggest just choosing a pretty cool looking move that you like. That's pretty much the only criteria for in-game use ;D.

And again, Typhlosion (the final evolution of Cyndaquil) and Flareon are two very different pokémon, so just saying one is better than the other doesn't do either justice. It's all about your preference.

Notch ear pichu March 30th, 2010 9:28 PM

Okay! I plan to use as a competitive pokemon! I was thinking mud slap. It lowers accuracy.. Oh well -checks out the link-

The training method i like to use! Is to go to the elite four (preferably when you cant beat all fo them) Then just kill as many with a single pokemon that you can, that way you will gain major exp! And then when hat pokemon has gone the preferable amount of levels up! Then change pokemon and enter again! The reason i said preferably when you cant beat them is that if you manage to beat them all! You'll have to go through the damn credits!

Yusshin March 30th, 2010 11:16 PM

People keep saying "Elite Four" and "Gym Leader Rebattles"... why not the Battle Frontier? Can't you battle Level 50 Pokemon there if you qualify? o0

You don't gain exp from the battle frontier!

Amagad that sucks D: I've never been there; I just assumed. I think you gained EXP in Crystal's Battle Tower >>

Question

I have a Larvitar at 47 for the Unevolved Challenge. Let's say, hypothetically (not going to happen), I drop the challenge and evolve to Pupitar at level 47.

Would a Level 100 Pupitar evolved at Level 30 have higher stats (since base stats are higher than Larvitar's) than a Larvitar evolved at Level 47? That's 17 levels with higher base stats; does that affect its stats in the end? Or will the Larvitar evolved at Level 47 to Pupitar just jump stats faster to make up for 17 levels of Larvitar-based stats?

And if you evolve at Level 99 to Tyranitar, and you had a Pupitar until 98, how would it regain lost stats if you evolved to Tyranitar at Level 55? That's almost 45 levels of higher base stats and higher stat gains per level. How can a Tyranitar evolved at 99 make up for it when leveled to 100? o_0

May i know the exact timing of morning afternoon evening and night in Heartgold? i tried calling Jasmine on wed 4pm~ but she didn request a rematch. or am i doing anything wrong? i've beaten E4 but not all the gym yet

Toxicroak March 31st, 2010 1:17 AM

am i right when i say...
using the IV breeding method i can pass up to 2 IVs to the baby. dad holding power anklet and mum holding power weight.

assuming both parents have perfect ivs in HP and Speed, will this mean the baby will have a 100% chance of perfect ivs in those stats?

and is there any way to pass down more than 2 Ivs?

I've heard that it works but I'm not quite sure as I always give one of the parent an everstone.

For the second question, Several IVs are carried on to the kid from the parent. So yes, if you get lucky.

Can someone help me calculate the damage from this?

My Ursaring has a silk scarf attached to it, increasing the power of Normal moves, right? Well it also has Guts, which increases attack when it has a status condition, and the move Facade, and that move increases it's power if there's a status condition. Plus since Ursaring is a normal type and the move is normal, there's the STAB......

So to put it in a simpler form:

Paralyzed Ursaring's attack (Which is about 170 without any modifiers)+Guts bonus+Facade and it's bonus+Silk Scarf+Plus STAB=???

Math is really not my strong point right now, but if you could just tell me what order it all goes in, I should be able to figure it out from there.
