Do You Have a Special Pokemon for Catching?
Do You Have a Special Pokemon for Catching?
A Pokemon you only use for catching the legendaries, in the bug contests or just generally difficult catches? Mine is a Gallade. He knows: Hypnosis / Mean Look / Swords Dance / False Swipe How about you? |
i use absol with false swipe then catch the thing unless its something hard likearceus and giratina, i bring a pokemon with a move to put them asleep
|
I have a singing kricitune that i use for bug catching contests.
|
I have a bunch :P
My primary one is the same as yours, except my Gallade has Protect instead of Swords Dance. I also have Sneasel(s) with False Swipe and a Wobbuffet on both Platinum and SS. |
I use my Parasect. I use Spore to put the Pokemon to Sleep, False Swipe, rinse, lather, and repeat. Worst come to worst, I use a Smeargle.
|
I use a krickatune with false swipe and sing
|
I just use my Umbreon. He knows toxic+confuse ray = pwnd. There is no escaping my pokeball after a hit from these two moves+ another if needed. Other than him, it depends on what pokemon I want to catch. If it's weaker leveled then I use my Umbreon, if not then I use one of my more powerful pkmn to weaken it up before the catch.
|
The Pokemon I usually use for catching legendaries is my level 58 Tropius, because it's the perfect level, I call HER Billy Jean, after that song from Michael Jackson, she knows the attacks, Aerial Ace, Whirl Wind, if something isn't what I want, Grass Knot for balanced attacks, and Fly for transportation. I use grass types, but I'm not taking any monotype challenge, it's just a think I've been doing, I still "Catch em' all!".
|
Yup.
My Gallade. False Swipe/Thunder Wave. I transferred it from my Platinum. Always keep it on my team just in case a certain shiny comes my way. I came across a shiny Pidgey in SS and luckily I had my Amphoras on my team, with Thunder Wave. He was my previous catcher. |
I use my Dragonair and Scyther a lot for catching. Thunderwave and False swipe are perfect for cathing pokemon.
|
I have two. One for high levels and one for low.
The first is a Pachirisu (traded as an egg from Diamond) with Thunder (useless for catching), Discharge (has a high chance of causing paralysis), Sweet Kiss (confusion!), and Super Fang, which is second only to False Swipe for weakening without killing. The second is a standard Parasect with Spore, Stun Spore, False Swipe, and an attack for when I'm not catching. But usually, 5 hits with Super Fang plus a status effect is enough, even for legendaries. |
I have a lv100 mew with syncronize and adamant nature. It knows:
-Thunderwave -False swipe -Fly -Rock climb I needed rock climb at that time, so I taught it that, and never got rid of it since. |
A Scizor for False Swiping and an Ampharos for paralysis. Other than that, I use my other Pokemon to stall while throwing Pokeballs at it. Zapdos was practically helpless when I have my Electivire out. XD
|
I have a Pokemon XD Mawile with Sing and False swipe.
|
I usually use any Pokemon on my team that is around the same level as the wild Pokemon.
|
my scizor :)
false swipe/theif/???/??? i forget :P |
I have just started the game now so,
Totodile = Bite + Scratch = 1 or 2 hp left. Mareep = Thunder Wave = For fireworks Paralyzing. ROFL :D |
I usually use Infernape, since for whatever reason his Cut attack never seems to do enough to even take out a lvl. 30 pokemon (him being at the mid 50's) or I'll just use Absol's False Swipe, and sometimes Ampharos just to paralyze.
|
Yuck, I'd never gimp Gallade to a peon's job like that! I use Farfetch'd for such a job, with his False Swiping powers used to the max!
|
As of yet, I'm getting my Farfetch'd to the required level to be able to agility|Swords Dance|False Swipe Mewtwo into Kingdom Come! It'll also be accompanied by a Put-to-sleeper. Just for the extra added Catch Rate.
|
I'm raising my False Swipe Sneasel to a high level before I even consider using it against a Legendary. I got it fairy high-levelled in a trade, so it's been trained since Level 34, deeming it statistically weaker than other Pokémon I have.
I might just breed a new Sneasel, put False Swipe on it and EV it in Attack to ensure it can do the job properly. :p |
For the Bug CC :
Jumpluff Lv. 28 -Powderzz- Mega Drain But I just powder them and hope for the best ! ^_^ |
In Fire Red, I always used my Victreebell.
In HG/SS, I use whoever I have in team. |
I use crobat for mean look
Bennette that knows frisk and theive incase I want an item like dragon scales from horseas then use scisior for false swipe |
For now, it's my Tadpole and his Body Slam and Whirlpool attacks. Hopefully, I will use a Wobbuffet soon.
