well, the normal patches have the 1/8275(i think)chance of being shiny, so it's possible

anyway, today i chained a Pikachu up to 19, and a patch sparkled, but i forgot to use a Repel again, so i missed out on my shiny
I guess that could be the case, if it is that's the luckiest I've ever been in the game with shinies, that's 3 without a shiny patch that I've caught on this game.

I was lucky with the nature, I had a Jolly Synchronizer but my Fearligatr was in the front of my party, so it's not like the wild Pokemon were being effected by my Ralts that was like 4th in my party.

I'm probably going to either start breeding for the Shiny Treecko I'm on the hunt for, that'd be quite a lot of eggs to hatch, but I feel up to it... or start soft reseting for a Shiny Giratina... I'd like to have something different to add to my shiny collection. If not Giratina then when I get to him on Emerald Rayquaza... Then again I can never really stick to something in Pearl I just keep doing what I feel the need to, which for the time being is getting all my EV trained Pokemon up to level 50 so I can use them in the battle tower. What better way to multi-task than Chaining while leveling up? XD

You can get Ice Beam again from Veilstone Game Corner. In fact, more TMs are available multiple times in D/P than any other version, and some others are available from previous versions via Pal Park. One TM per cart doesn't mean you are limited to one TM overall.


Of course I'm Houndoom, I'm Toothache!
I get Crunch and Bite moves, tasty!

I caught a few Phanpy and a Larvitar today while chaining. Best chains were two lots of 7 Phanpys... apart from that my highest still remains 11 Ponytas. I guess I'm finding it real hard

I've also been EV Training Omanyte in the process

Augh, I probaly had my unluckiest battle tower battle ever! (And my win streak was in the sixties too.. T_T)

??? sent out Mamoswine
I send out Dragonite
I switch out to Snorlax
Mamoswine uses Ice Fang
Mamoswine uses Hail
Snorlax uses Curse
Mamoswine uses Ice Fang
Snorlax uses Brick Break
Mamoswine uses Fissure
Snorlax fainted
I send out Alakazam
Alakazam uses Psychic
Alakazam's move missed!
Mamoswine uses Earthquake
Critical Hit!
Alakazam fainted
I send out Dragonite
Mamoswine uses Ice Fang
Critical Hit!
Dragonite fainted.
That Mamoswine must've been on drugs to outspeed my Dragonite.

Mamoswine actually has the same base speed as Dragonite. Yeah, seems like once again there's a lot of hax in the Battle Tower, just like the old Battle Frontier.

I had no luck chaining Absol yesterday, questioned why West Seas Shellos has East Seas icon on the Pokeradar Application...

I plan on chaining Pidgey today since I was on the route it appears on when 12:00 rolled around I ran into a Pidgey and was like what the... guess I don't have to ask Lucas' Sister what my swarm is XD... I haven't had much luck chaining as of late, but I hope to get a Shiny Pidgey, that'd be just cool... I also want to go get a Shiny Rattata since I had one on Gold but I lost him somehow...

This is my history...
When I was on Diamond, I was really, really far into the game. To be precise, I was at the 8th gym. I had gotten stuck, so when I finally got a battle with the gym leader, the game somehow froze up on me so bad that I have to start again. :( Sorry me...oh well. that happened a month or two ago, and I haven't even played Diamond since then...

Well, I'm back from the Battle Tower. And I have to say, Porygon-Z is awesome. He was able to take care of entire matches by himself, often OHKOing anything in his way. And the few times that he did go down, Gallade was there for effective cleanup. And the matches went on like this until my 21st battle with the Tower Tycoon.

I started out with Porygon-Z, and to my dismay, he started out with Milotic. Thinking that maybe I could 2HKO him with Thunderbolt, I kept Porygon in there. It wasn't so bad- until Milotic used Hypnosis. I quickly switched to my backup Luxray, who was just barely able to take her out. His Dragonite took out Luxray, so I sent Porygon back in, in the hopes that he would wake up. He didn't. And Gallade didn't last long against Dragonite, even with Stone Edge at his side. And with that, I lost.

I hate that guy so much.

My team on him was a Weavile (EV Trained), Jolteon (EV trained, he really wasn't too much of a help...) and Charizard(not EV trained effectively.)

EUGH, Kept Changing Times To Get Absol For The Swarm, Seeing As i Wanted that to be my very first Shiny, Chained to 30 (My Highest Chain Ever So Far) After 5 failed attempts, Broke By A Shellos, I Found my self resetting my Radar more than usual just to make sure. After that Failed Attempt I Tryed Again And Again, Yet Still, I Only Got to about 15 at the most before a Shellos
Would Break the chain, Im Really Annoyed And thinking On Gvining up on Shinies all together :(

Decided to restart Diamond and go with an all grass team.

=>I caught 2 Budews, one had a bashful nature, while the other had a modest. =>Beat the 1st Gym quiet easily
=> Saved the honey guy and got free honey.
=>Caught a Cherrim using the honey (saw a Herracross though).

My Team

Ivy (Budew)
Sunshine (Budew)

My Omanyte evolved into Omastar (at freakin last), Larvitar into Pupitar (working on Tyranitar) and then working on Phanpy.

Best chain of the day was 6 Magnemite, which is poor. I'm really not good at keeping my chains going..
