Hehe I think I should cut it off with walls of text updates and just give small updates with important things in the future ^^; I stand out too much in this thread.

I don't think you guys need to know every single detail that I do =P

King! May 8th, 2010 5:34 AM

:O But Cephix, your walls of text don't bug us! no pun intended
I actually enjoy reading them.... when i do read them >.<

Rantis_ May 8th, 2010 6:11 AM

Update...

Haven't got too much time for playing, I'm not actually even in Rustboro yet :S
I catched Wurmple, and evolved it to Beautifly, which is level 12 at the moment.
Next I'm going to Rustboro, catch Nincada and (try) beat Roxanne :)

Rantis_ May 8th, 2010 8:58 AM

Small update again :)

Went to Rustboro and caught Nincada. It was level 7 and now it's level 10. I won Roxanne at first try. Her Geodude didn't have a chance against my Beautifly's (lvl 15) absorb ;) Nosepass was little harder. I used my Nincada to lower Nosepass's accuracy with Sand-Attack and then Beautifly finished it with Absorb. I'm going to catch another Nincada to use cut before I go to Dewford. At Dewford I'll catch Sableye for better HM slave.

Now going to play again, having one hour to play before the hockey game starts :D

Your mother must be so proud! :D

*shot*

does anyone have any tips for facing the Elite Four on a Fly-Type run?
I'm afraid of Glacia. :C

Phye May 8th, 2010 10:18 AM

Use Steel wing on her Ice pokémon =D

Weatherman, Kiyoshi May 8th, 2010 10:27 AM

Well, I do have Skarmory.
Should I just beef it up for the battle so it can face her solely?

because Altaria and Tropius won't have a chance until hell freezes over.

[/Pun_extremely_intended]

Phye May 8th, 2010 10:34 AM

That would be a great idea since Skarmory would be the only one taking neutral damage.

Steel types are cheaters on the basis of defences. XD

Waffle-San May 8th, 2010 10:52 AM

Alright, updating time!!

I decided I wanted a Good Rod real bad so I blazed through the 4th and 5th gyms getting Mudkip to level 45 and Wingull 42. Now that I had access to surf I headed west of Mauville to get my Good Rod, then it was time for some serious fishing to get myself a Corphish and Barboach. I caught a bunch of Corphish and decided to go with a level 26 one as it had good IV's and Battle Armour which I prefered. I then headed up Route 111 when I discovered the Mirage Tower!! I went through it training my Corphish up to level 31, raising it one level for each floor. After that I went to Route 114 to catch myself a Barboach!! Let me tell you, it took FOREVER!! All the ones I ran into were sub level 20 which wasn't going to cut it. I finally managed to catch a level 28 one and I rolled with it.
I decided to opt against surfing to Dewford for more training as I know there's a shipwreck to Dive in and I don't feel like doing it twice.
So with that I headed back to Mauville to talk to Watson and do the New Mauville sidequest, earning myself a Thunderbolt TM and more importantly gaining lots of experience for my newly caught Barboach!! At the moment I'm currently back in the Desert training my Corphish some more.

Lotad will not be trained anymore as I found it be useless...and that's how my Monowater unevolved challenge is looking so far!!

myrrhman May 8th, 2010 11:25 AM

Ok, I'm updating for real this time. 3rd time's a charm.

Beat everyone from May to Mauville, as well as the east and west of Mauville, to try to get Nincada to evolve. Also I beat Wally. After beating all the trainers, Nincada was at level 18, and almost 19, so I trained on wild Pokemon until I leveled up, then used my Rare Candy to evolve into Shedinja. I boxed the Ninjask. Enter Gym.
First trainer: Shedinja uses 6 Double Teams on Electrike, but gets Paralyzed, then uses Fury Swipes for the KO. Magnemite comes out. First turn: Supersonic hits me. And I hurt myself in confusion to kill myself. Sigh. Sableye finishes him.
The other trainers can't hurt me.
I SAVE before Wattson this time.
Battle Starts. I retry about 7 times before the following does not happen: Magnemite used Supersonic! Shedinja hurts itself in Confusion! Shedinja fainted! SO INFURIATING!!!
But on the 8th time, I got off not one, not two but ALL SIX Double Teams. It was smooth sailing from there, what with Shedinja's Fury Cutter and all. Magnemite fell in like 6 hits, Voltorb the next, and Magneton in three more (although he did manage to confuse me). With the Dynamo Badge in hand, I gladly accepted his Shock Wave TM and saved.

I then got both Rock Smash and Strength, and taught them to Zigzagoon and Grovyle, respectively. I also taught Shock Wave to my Sableye. I took out Gabby and Ty and saved.

Phye May 8th, 2010 12:31 PM

Oh well I continue to write huge walls of text updates. Its fun going back to what I've done, its kinda like a journal over the Bug Challenge. ^.^

Mauville City Gym:.
I ran into Hiker Mike in the Rusturf Tunnel. He uses 3 pokémon, the first is a Geodude I switch in Fate to be able to absorb it and it used magnitude doing nothing at all. Absorb kills it off. Next up is another geodude, I switch out to Silent to get some more exp and then back into Fate again. His third and last pokémon is a geodude. Same thing there but killed it of with a gust instead.

I grabbed the Blackglasses that were around and the went ahead to the cycle road to challenge the last trainers before the Gym.

Next up is a Psychic trainer which I forgot to write the name down of. Anyways she uses an Abra which goes easily down by Silent.

After that battle is Triathlete Abigail's turn with her Magnemite. After a couple of confusions from Destiny it finally went down.

Triathlete Anthony is next in line with his two pokémon. First he uses a magnemite as well. The same as before, it also goes down after some confusions. I wish Destiny had Metal sound as well since that would help a lot against steel types. His last pokémon is also a magnemite which also goes down by confusions.

Next is Triathlete Benjamin with his Magnemite. Will I only meet magnemites on this bridge? Anyways confusion takes care of that one too.

I bicycle into Triathlete Jacob after the battle. He uses three pokémon and his first is Voltorb. Silent takes it down with fury swipes. The next one is also a voltorb and goes down fairly easy with the same move. Last pokémon he uses is a... *sigh* a magnemite. Anyways since confusion's PP is low I decided to cut away.

After that is Triathlete Jasmine's turn. She uses three pokémon and her first is a Magnemite, go figure. Cut, Cut and more cut. Her second pokémon is a magnemite as well. Her last pokémon is a voltorb though, it goes down easily.

Back in Slateport City I decided to heal up at the Pokémon Center. Allright after I head back to Mauville City its time for the gym battle!

First battle is a double battle between Battle Girl Vivian and Guitarist Kirk. Electrike and Meditite gets send out. Cut on electrike and gust on meditite. Next up is another meditite and a voltorb. The second meditite goes down as easy as the first. Voltorb goes down after a confusion and cut.

Another double battle is initiating, this time between Bug Maniac Angelo and Guitarist Shawn. Their first pokémon are Illumise and Voltorb. Illumise goes down wing attack and voltorb gets down with cuts. Next up is a magnemite and a Volbeat. Magnemite gets down by cut and confusion and Volbeat gets taken down by Gusts. Destiny gets taken down by a quick attack at low health since I decided to use moonlight instead of a pot and fate gets taken down by combined shock waves from both of them. However, Silent manages to take them down with cut.

Since I locked myself in and not being able to leave to heal my pokémon I had to challenge Youngster Ben with only Silent alive. Zigzagoon is the first pokémon to he uses. It goes down with a couple of cuts. Growls slowed it down however... Next is a Gulpin which also went down fairly well with cuts except that Silent had -3 attack + it knew yawn.

I healed up at the pokémon center before challenging the gym leader.
Gym Leader Wattson would like to battle!
He starts out with a voltorb. First thing he did were to use rollout, since Silent is currently part ground It didnt do too much damage but it can be lethal to the rest of my team. Since it almost killed Silent I decided to start do Harden when Wattson used Super Potion to survive longer instead. Even its selfdestruct never managed to kill Silent after 6+ defence. Next up is Electrike, I decided it was best for Silent to stay in with its defence boost and immunity to electric. With a couple of Cuts it went down.
Wattson's third pokémon is a magneton. Hopefully Silent can take it down. Since it kept using sonic boom all the time I decided to try kill it off with confusion from Destiny instead. However the damage didn't differ much. But since Destiny is already in I decided to hope for a confusion to happen at least. I tried getting in Fate for Stun Spore but Magneton was faster and killed her off with a shock wave. So it was back to Cuts for a change of pace. And of course Wattson uses a super potion on magneton when I finally got it down on low hp. However since I was out of potions myself it was just a matter of time before I lost.

Allright, before I take on the gym leader again I decide to go defeat the trainers I missed to the north.

First up is a Double Battle with Aroma Lady Celina and Camper Tyron. They use Sandshrew and Roselia. Roselia goes down with confusion and sandshrew goes down with cut + confusion.
Next up is yet another Double Battle but between Picnicer Bianca and *gasp* Kindle Hayden. They send out Numel and Shroomish. I switched out Dustox for Fate to be able to absorb numel for neutral damage. Shroomish went down by a couple of leech life. But I realised I had forgot to repot and Beautifly goes down by both opponent's pokémon. However Destiny manages to take down Numel with his Confusion.

I heal up my pokémon at the pokémon center and decide I will continue more tomorrow since I'm tired. I'm currently located at Mauville City's Pokémon Center.

.:Current Team:.
Fate the Gentle Beautifly:. LV21
Destiny the Quirky Dustox:. LV22
Silent the Quiet Nincada:. LV23

Mauville City's Gym :: Take Two :.
I realised that I had forgot to challenge the Winstrate family so I went ahead and did so since it would be nice exp before the gym battle again.

First up is Winstrate Victor with two pokémon. He uses a taillow first. I decided silent could stay in to get some exp but when it growled to much I sent in Destiny to use confusion instead. It went down pretty fast.
Victor's second pokémon is a zigzagoon, without much trouble it went down fairly well even though it got out some growls against Silent.
Next up is Winstrate Victoria... Victor and Victoria? That's so laughable.She uses a Roselia. I decided to let Silent stay in to get some exp, but after a growth Mega Drain really hurted a lot. It also seems like all of the pokémon got Oran berries held to them. I switch into Destiny and take it down with confusion.
My bag is still echoing from not having repot yet at the mart... This will be troublesome.

Third to battle is Winstrate Vivi. Does all Winstrate family members begin with VI?
Anyways, she starts off with a Marill. I decided Fate would be a good match for it. Marill used roll out which I thought would hurt more. Fate managed to take down marill with still green hp.
Vivi then sends in a Numel, I decided Fate could stay in to use absorb for neutral damage however ember did hurt a lot. I switch in Destiny instead because he got more special defence. I let him heal up with moon light and then took numel down with confusion.
The last pokémon in Vivi's team is a Shroomish. I let Silent handle it with leech life. I also realised that BUG/GROUND combination takes neutral damage from grass attacks... I had forgot that Bug are resistant to grass.

Last winstrate member is Winstrate Vicky, even the grandmother's name begin with VI? Oh come on!
Anyways, she uses a Meditite. Silent could easily take it down with Leech life I thought but it turned out that cut did more to it. When Silent got to low health I decided to switch for Fate to take it down.

After the winstrate battle I got a macho brace which I believe is useless during an in-game run. I've never EV-Trained during in-game runs.

Time for some preparations, I healed up at the pokémon center and restock on super potions and paralyz heals. I grinded Silent to lv25 as well so she could learn Swords Dance and evolve. After I removed Fury Swipes I realised that harden would be useless on a pokémon with 1 HP... I boxed Ninjask and went to slateport to rename the shedinja to Silent since it wasn't named.

Now it's time to take on Wattson again.
He starts out with voltorb. Destiny were at front so I decided to use harden as I did before with Silent. However, Voltorb used Selfdestruct and got a critical hit so Destiny were no more in sight...
Next up an Electrike, I sent in Silent to swords dance up to max. After that Electrike went down with one cut.
Wattson's third pokémon is the magneton. Luckily his first two Supersonic missed but the third made Silent confused. It was now 50% chance of Silent getting down. She managed to hit once even thou it was confused and then I realised I do have a full heal in my bag so I used it to even remove the paralysis I got from electrike. Magneton misses the rest of its super sonic and it finally goes down.
Wattson's last pokémon is a Manectric, but since it doesn't resist normal moves it went down with just two cuts.

And thus I earned myself the Dynamo Badge! I also got Shock Wave which none of my bugs I'll be using will be able to learn.

I'm currently located in Mauville City's Pokémon center where I've healed up my pokémon.

.:Current Team:.
Fate the Gentle Beautifly:. LV21
Destiny the Quirky Dustox:. LV22
Silent the Quiet Shedinja:. LV25

From Rustboro to Trick Master

I set sail to Dewford and went straight to the gym. I used only Beautifly in this gym because Nincada was still pretty low level and didn't have a chance against gym trainers. Well, Beautifly's gust took down all the Meditites and Machops in the gym and I headed to Brawly. Brawly's Machop was a piece of cake, two gusts and bye bye. Makuhita was even easier, though I hit him with critical hit and it took only one gust. ;) After that I headed to the cave and beat the fishermans on my way. Went through the cave, gave letter to Steven and quit the cave. I healed my pokemon and decided to go Rustboro and visit Devon's President for Exp. Share. Then I headed back to Dewford and continued to Slateport. Beat every guy on that beach and took the six-pack of Soda Pops by beating every trainer in the beach-house. Then I visited guy named Dock in the ship-building-place-whatever and headed to museum to have fun with Team Magma. Those guys didn't have any sense of humor and started to battle me as soon as I managed to give some stuff for Capt. Stern. I fought these two members and beat them with Beautifly. After that Maxie came there and said something funny stuff for me. Then I healed my pokemon and headed to Trick Masters house. I beat some Oddishes and Zigzagoons and get the Rare Candy from Trick "Master". Then I fought some really annoying Plusles and Minuns on my way to May. Actually I don't really know many things which are more annoying than Plusle and Minun in Double-Battle. (Thunder-wave,Thunder-wave,Growl,Growl,Growl,Growl,Growl,Growl,Growl,Growl,Growl....) But finally I shouldn't have any of those left :D. Next coming up: Beating May, beating Wally, beating Wattson and beating some other stuff...
