Whats so good about Casteliacones?
 
In Castelia City there's always this long line for this dessert. I'm guessing you'll be able to purchase a Cone if your lucky enough to go there when there's no line but what does a Casteliacone do for your pokemon?

Heals any status ailments to your Pokemon.

King Gumball March 26th, 2011 7:30 PM

I haven't yet bought one ;o; I keep forgetting the day I need to visit the store XD

The Corrupt Plague March 26th, 2011 7:50 PM

You can get 2,000 poke if you give it to the collector on route 5. It's not much though and there are much better and easier ways to get money in this game. I would just consider it a novelty because full heals are way cheaper.

Tristz0t March 26th, 2011 7:54 PM

Wow I never knew about this Casteliacone thing.. I guess I should check it out haha!

Kirbychu March 26th, 2011 8:20 PM

Everyone likes them so much because they're trying to make those horrid ice cream Pokemon go extinct! You all need to join the cause!

I always wondered... Why does your character stick the ice cream in his/her bag?

Misheard Whisper March 26th, 2011 10:36 PM

And that Old Gateau must taste horrible after being in the bag so long, too. Ugh.

The Nightmare March 26th, 2011 10:45 PM

It looks good is well but it would taste horrible if it has been in your bag for ages.

Satoshi Ookami March 26th, 2011 11:37 PM

I've never bought it but I think I'll reconsider it now 'cause it looks pretty cool :D
Another Lava Cookie-style item =)

SquirtleGirl March 27th, 2011 4:08 AM

I just think its one of those items that do the same job as the Full Heal but they're fun and different. Gateau, ice cream and cookies are everyday foods we would eat so it makes Pokémon seem a little more realistic that they might eat them too :D

That's my guess anyways ^^;

Ho-Oh March 27th, 2011 5:40 AM

I haven't purchased it yet, but the fact that it's actually seemingly rare (by it being sold out and people waiting in line for it) makes it seem more realistic (that is, adding onto the realism mentioned in the previous post) as opposed to old ladies, or shopping centres, or other places that give them out. Plus the name sounds kind of amusing. :D

Anyway I just like collecting Casteliacones. I don't know why :D

The Doctor March 27th, 2011 10:22 AM

What day do u buy them???

Virgilia March 27th, 2011 10:48 AM

I've never managed to buy one. I got there at like 9am this morning, but they were all sold out (again)! I just thought you were never able to buy one, but I guess you can. xD

Quoted for truth. All of it. :<

Didn't know about the collector that buys them though. Might go sell him one just to say I've done it.

I know, the ice cream Pokemon are some of my favorites! They're delicious!

Lambda March 27th, 2011 2:02 PM

there items that stauts and are bought on tuesdays

solarowl March 27th, 2011 3:36 PM

I haven't bought one yet, they're always sold out. D:
I'm guessing they had these cones to represent Vanillite. In fact, why don't they just sell Vanillite instead? I believe those would be more tasty.
I wonder what happens if you gave a cone to a Vanillite. XD Cannibalism.

loveheartsxox March 27th, 2011 3:44 PM

Nothing is really that special about them. They are just glorified Full Heals like Old Gateaus and Lava Cookies.

Ho-Oh April 5th, 2011 10:22 PM

I found out yesterday they can't be purchased in Winter. :( So disappointing! I wanted to sell another for money, oh well, I'll wait until next month... :(

(I'm not using the one I have/had btw lol)

I know :( I still have never bought any, and the Tuesday I finally remembered it was closed!

PlatinumDude April 6th, 2011 12:57 AM

Casteliacones are supposed to be the Unova counterpart of the Lava Cookie and the Old Gateau. They're also cheaper versions of the Full Heal that are only available on certain days.

Musica April 6th, 2011 3:45 AM

I never thought that you could buy one of those... >_> It just seemed so good because everytime I went to Castelia, they always say that they've sold-out.

Garde April 6th, 2011 3:49 AM

Absolutely nothing is special about them, they are pretty much the equivalent of the Lava Cookie from Gen III- a fancy looking Full Heal.

They do look yumalicious, though.

IronTrapinch April 6th, 2011 6:40 AM

don't they work while held unlike Full Heals though?

Eurydice April 6th, 2011 7:05 AM

its disappointing that they arent sold in winter.
i never knew they could be sold out either. i always got one everytime i went there.

big NATE alpha April 6th, 2011 7:22 AM

Darn, I kept forgetting on Tuesdays, and now it's Winter! I'll just buy some next month then.
I like them for the novelty.

danno 507 April 6th, 2011 7:28 AM

Didnt know it even existed xD
Must give it a look see. What day should you go on??

ѕℓσωвяσ April 6th, 2011 8:44 AM

Damn it, I forgot to buy one and now it's Winter. D8

Tuesdays, but sadly you can't in Winter. :(

The_Noob April 6th, 2011 7:19 PM

You know what would be funny? If in Grey/Gray/Rainbow they make Chocolate Casteliacones that function as a reskinned Sacred Ash. Now that would be kickass.

Noob out.

Palkia April 6th, 2011 11:04 PM

It's winter now, and I keep forgetting to go there on Tuseday. It's a bit stupid how they are just a glorified full heal, so I won't bother with getting one unless I really have nothing else to do.

IronTrapinch April 7th, 2011 6:12 AM

I think it's more like a Lum Berry, just like the Chocolates are more like glorified berry juice.

both food that activates while held.

Osha_say_wott?! April 30th, 2011 1:12 AM

Before reading this thread..I didn't know they only sold Castelicones on Tuesdays. D: I was going everyday and kept getting a "They're sold out". One more day and they'll go on sell again. :D ..on Tuesdays.

Ω Ruby and α Sapphire April 30th, 2011 2:08 AM

Quick question. Can you buy more than one on the same day? I thought they were unobtainable any day of the week.

Aura Rift April 30th, 2011 2:21 AM

lol they are real pointless all right, I was so excited to finnaly buy one, but then I saw what it did and I was all like "Dude seriously thats it?" and then to prove a point to myself I went and bought like 300 full heals lol:P

Legendary Silke April 30th, 2011 3:36 AM

Hmm... They can heal status effects in battles and be sold for a good price at Route 5. Though, if you are looking for healing items, Full Heals are better in the sense that they can be bought in batches. Oh, and one Casteliacone per Tuesday in non-winter seasons. That's it. No wonder why it's better to sell it.

As for me? I left it in the bag since I bought them.

West the Hardcore Nerd May 1st, 2011 9:09 AM

They're delicious. They're also made from the salvaged remains of a million slain Vanillite, but at least there's sprinkles.

.......THAT IS IT.I'M MAKING A GROUP.Called "Save The Vanillites".If its made from the poor little pokemon,I feel like sueing them.:(I'm Collecting Casteliacones and Putting them in a Nice Freezer and try to find a cure to somehow bring them back.

Gothitelle. May 1st, 2011 3:29 PM

They heal yer Pokemon bye 50hp points. Suu nuttin speshal hurr. (= =)

Amore May 1st, 2011 3:40 PM

Well, I like them as I'm an OCD guy in his pokémon: I only use regional poké balls (good in Johto, problematic in Hoenn, even worse in Sinnoh), use regional items (Lava Cookie > Full Heal in Hoenn etc.), and consider the Master Ball to be a "Mewtwo Ball" - I only use it on Mewtwo, as that's the only pokémon caught with it in Pokémon Adventures.

So to me, it's a regional item that I always have to have at least one of them in my bag.

No, you can only buy one per Tuesday.

15israellai May 1st, 2011 9:16 PM

I've bought one. That's because I arrived at Castelia on Tuesday, what a coincidence.
I didn't even take a look at it until I saw Bulbapedia saying it looks like Vanillite. Then I found it tasty.
It's quite romantic to me though (perhaps because I read some fan fiction).

ElectricScyther May 2nd, 2011 3:20 PM

Well, they taste pretty good I bet. Shame you can't rip them out of the DS console and eat 'em, though. XD

It's finally Spring and obtainable once again, haha. Though I find it odd they don't serve it during the Winter since they are Casteliacones. o; I guess it's acceptable though, since most people won't serve ice cones outside where it's snowing and all during this time.

I haven't been bothered to get one at all.

Ah, Lava Cookies. I never really bought them that often, but they bring back memories of Lavaridge Town in RSE for some odd reason. I guess since they both serve the same purpose, it doesn't really bother me that much. I've gotten one or two of Casteliacones though, just for the fun of it. Still I think its just a nice touch for the city.

Heh, I wouldn't be surprised if Japan makes such a thing based off just for the game!

Gulpin May 2nd, 2011 6:34 PM

I think its just a novelty item, and I've only bought one. I also think that the bag has a special ice cream cone holder, either for you Vanilluxe or you Casteliacone.

Solfatara May 3rd, 2011 2:31 PM

I think this cone symbolizes perfectly the obsession we tend to have for nearly insignificant items and products in our own consumer society.
