Update #2:

- Caught a Nincade to be used as a Flash slave.
- Delivered the letter to Steven, taught Wingull Steel Wing.
- Off to Slateport.
- Settled things with Team Aqua at the Oceanic museum.

Rival fight:
Spoiler:

Wailmer: Easily countered by Cacnea, took the opportunity to get a few Growths in to power up while having Wailmer Leech Seeded. Bullet Seed provided the final blast.
Numel:Two Water Guns from Wingull did the trick.
Grovyle:I dont have a real grass counter yet so I went further with Wingull to kill it with Wing Attack, Grovyle used Pursuit to kill my Wingull tho. Cacnea was next up to Poison Sting the hell out of him, but again Pursuit proved to be a nasty attack. So his favourite attack is dark-based, means Mawile is up and yep she finishes that lizard!


- Arrived at Mauville City.
- Easily took care of Wally with Anorith.
- Time to do some grinding before taking on the 3rd gym.

Okayyy...I beat S.S. Anne. My rival (MIKE) was really easy to beat because I was way overlevelled.
I then got CUT and beat Lt. Surge's gym with Gyrados and Ivysaur.
I had to catch a Bellsprout to teach CUT to because Diglett can't learn it in this game. I caught Drowzee because Sprout can't learn Flash in this game.
Got Flash.
Then I got the Bike Voucher and got my bike. I rode over to Rock Tunnel, skipping as many trainers as I could along the way (I wanted to save them for Onix)
Went to the second floor, caught Onix (named IWARK) with a Great Ball. (S.S. Anne trash can!)
Went and battled trainers I skipped.
Now I've got this in my party:
Onix Lv. 22
Knows: Tackle, Screech, Bind, Rock Throw
Gyrados: Lv. 30
Knows: Dragon Rage, Tackle, Bite, Bubblebeam
Ivysaur: Lv. 30
Knows: Tackle, Poison Powder, Leech Seed, Razor Leaf

On to finish Rock Tunnel! I'm gettin' close to Haunter and Snorlax! <3

I. Am. Awesome.

Update 2, Day 6

I, N, E, F, F, A

A lot has happened since my last update, so sorry for the delay. Anyway, where I left off last time I was approaching Eterna City. I was really in quite a hurry to learn how to use Cut (I left unwatered berry trees and a honey tree behind in Floaroma and I didn't want to go through the forest to return), so I went at Gardenia in a hurry. It wasn't as easy as you might expect considering I had a Chimchar, because Smok (Trapinch) and Jackie (Nincada) were way behind and I needed to give them a try.
I swept through Eterna in a hurry without enjoying it as much as I could have, but oh well. xD I murdered Team Galactic and everyone on the cycling road without event and continued on to Hearthome City.
I had been waiting for Hearthome City because that's the place for an Eevee. I hurried to Bebe's house and got one. He was a male and I named him "Melavelta♪". After that I did everything I could to train Melavelta while avoiding Fantina like the plague (I don't like her xD). Eventually though I faced her, and smok had to take care of it almost singlehandedly since he has a Dark-type move (Bite) and was almost the only one with something that could hit a Ghost-type. It took me a few tries but it wasn't the hardest thing I've ever done~
After that I headed to Solaceon Town, in a huge hurry to evolve my Eevee (I made myself a promise to have Espeon before I faced Maylene) and to evolve smok because I am so impatient with Pokémon that evolve past level 30. xD On the way to Solaceon Town, before the second bridge, Jackie evolved into a swift, powerful Ninjask that has never failed to make me proud. He learned Double Team and Mind Reader at the same time.
After exploring the Solaceon Ruins and finding HM05 (Defog) and a Mind Plate, and subsequently exploring Lost Tower to train Smok and Melavelta, I had a potently long and boring trek to Veilstone City, picking up berries all along the way, and collecting the Fist Plate and Flame Plate. It was in Veilstone City that I first explored, second gave Eevee some Calcium and Carbos (partly for training, partly for happiness), and third levelled him up to 31 and successfully evolved him into an Espeon in one of my biggest Pokémon timecrunches ever. It was 1900, apparently early enough to be considered "day".
A whole lot of gambling I did earlier, although painful, earned me TM29 Psychic, which I promptly taught to my new Espeon.
I walked back into the center of Veilstone City, where I now stand.

I still have not evolved Smok. :c

Pokemon Platinum Team M.Y.S.T.I.C Update #3

After finding HM05 Defog in the Solaceon Ruins it was time to head north onto Route 210. But, before I even got to the Route, my egg began to hatch...Togepi was born! With my new team member in hand, I continued up Route 210 trying to get it as much experience as possible. After a day or two of training(I don't remember how long it's been since my last update) Togepi finally caught up in levels with the rest of the team and we were ready to hit Route 215. Finally after wondering for so long when it was going to happen, Golbat evolves into Crobat on Route 215 and I get the "C" team member covered. Got into Veilstone City but immediately went south to Route 214 to do some extra training before I take on the 4th gym. It wasn't long before I looked down and realized that Togepi had evolved into Togetic thanks to the Soothe Bell and a little help from the vitamins. Once I noticed I still had plenty of trainers left on Route 214 I decided to take a break and stop right here.

Update 3, Day 7

I, N, E, F, F, A

I finally evolved Smok. :D
This alone would be enough for me to merit its own full update, but seeing as even more has happened, I shall write a full report. Starting out in Veilstone City with Melavelta (Espeon) newly purple and velvety (Smok [Trapinch] not yet evolved at that point), I went up against Maylene. It wasn't as much fun as I had expected since
she only had one Pokémon that was weak to Psychic moves, so I didn't bother having the overlevelled Espeon participate all too much. Oh well, this means I can finally use Fly! :D
. . . Well, just as soon as I find it.
I came across my friend Lucas yelling stop thief at a Team Galactic Grunt who stole his PokéCalculator. What a jerk. ;-; So I teamed up with him to defeat two guys with amazing-coloured hair that I really must try some time, and of course we won. After sending Lucas on his way with his machinery back, I teamed up with my beautiful teammate, Agent Looker, and raided the warehouse for a suspiciously conveniently placed HM02 Fly. Yay! ^^ I taught it to an HM slave (Starly) for until Smok evolves and immediately went to go check on berries and catch a Bibarel as an HM slave (aboot time). I then came up with an idea to evolve Smok quickly, so I headed to the Western entrance of Wayward Cave, because I knew there were two things in particular there: TM26 Earthquake and a Rare Candy. Both for Smok. I explored the place, battling every other Pokémon with Melavelta (Smok holding an EXP. Share). It was tedious thanks to the occurrence of Pokémon encounters every time I was about to run up one of those bike ramps, but I was victorious in the end, and Smok levelled to 33, at which point I gave him two Rare Candies (one just obtained, the other I had had for a while). Finally, evolution. I am now the proud owner of a Vibrava, with a newly hugely expanded moveset. Victory~
After that I was quick to get out of dodge and hop to Pastoria City (uneventful), where I
proceeded to do nothing. I was too busy enjoying the new perks of my Pokémon. :)

Sorry, no new plates or Pokémon in this update. :(

Update #3 on Sapphire:

After some grinding it was time for the...

3rd Gym Battle:
Spoiler:

Magnemite: I started off with Voltorb who made scraps out of Magnemite by simply spamming Sonicboom. Not sure what Magnemite was actually doing; hardly took the chance to hit Voltorb.
Voltorb: This was quite a surprise, I chose Anorith to deal with this guy and started off with a Mud Sport. Voltorb paralyzed Anorith, I just went with Metal Claw, but not even below half HP Voltorb decides to Selfdestruct, funny it hardly harmed my Anorith.
Magneton: Got lucky with this one, last turn Bagon ended up with 2 HP but happened to score a crit on Ember when Magneton was about half HP. Win!


- Taught Shock Wave to Wingull
- Got Mach Bike, Rock Smash (taught to Zigzagoon),...
- Beat Winstrates
- Arrived at Fallanbor Town
- Taught Dig to Anorith
- Visited Meteor Falls
- Got Strength


Team:

Anorith: Lv 26
Water Gun
Metal Claw
Dig
Scratch

Nice tank that finally got a decent moveset, I dont think Anorith has ever fainted in this run yet.


Voltorb:Lv 23
Charge
Tackle
Spark
Sonicboom

Sonicboom finally gave it the ability to take out foes, also happy he finally got his first electric move.


Mawile: Lv 24
Rock Tomb
Vicegrip
Fake Tears
Bite

Learning it Rock Tomb helped me to find some attacking purpose for her, but the low PP was a downer, good thing she learnt Vicegrip.


Wingull: Lv 24
Steel Wing
Water Gun
Shock Wave
Wing Attack

Having 4 different type moves really makes it a good contender, too bad he was useless last gym because of 4x weakness. About to evolve too.


Cacnea: Lv 23
Bullet Seed
Leech Seed
Poison Sting
Growth

Disappeared a bit to the background as pretty much everything that is weak to Grass is also weak to something else I got. Leech Seed is nice off course. Needs an extra good move tho.


Bagon: Lv 25
Headbutt
Ember
Bite
Rage

Was so happy he learnt Ember, as it is my only fire option at all for this team at the moment, and helped me out at 3rd Gym.


Team is rocking atm, I dont think I will need to do a lot of grinding anymore.

Ruby Update #6 (Final).

Beat the Elite Four. Man it was tough, and I got lucky against Steven too. I was way underleveled, but the Metagross was the toughest opponent by far.









Battling Steven was hard. I only won because I used 9 Rare Candies on Hank, then survived a Psychic and crit Earthquake for a OHKO on Metagross. Skarmory was taken down by Jimmy, Claydol by Tricia, Cradily by Jimmy, Aggron by Blaze, and after a sacrifice by Dustin, Blaziken also took down Armaldo.

Forgot to get a screen shot of the champion arg... here the end though... lol.


Time for Sinnoh (Platinum), and it can't come quickly enough. Preliminary team is gonna be Jynx (hack in Smoochum as an egg), Drapion, Togekiss, Houndoom/Hippowden, Espeon/Empoleon, and Brongzong.

Team Jaskil (Final):

Jimmy the Calm Jirachi - L45 @ Chesto Berry
Ability: Serene Grace
Moves: Future Sight, Thunderbolt, Psychic, Rest

Dustin the Quiet Dusclops, ♀ - L44
Ability: Pressure
Moves: Shadow Ball, Psychic, Confuse Ray, Will-O-Wisp

Tricia the Lonely Tropius, ♀ - L45 @ Miracle Seed
Ability: Chlorophyll
Moves: Body Slam, Fly, Solarbeam, Sunny Day

Hank the Lax Hariyama, ♂ - L54 @ Soft Sand
Ability: Guts
Moves: Return, Vital Throw, Belly Drum, Earthquake

Edgar the Careful Exploud, ♂ - L47 @ Magnet
Ability: Soundproof
Moves: Return, Ice Beam, Hyper Beam, Shock Wave

Blaze the Adamant Blaziken, ♂ - L45
Ability: Blaze
Moves: Blaze Kick, Bulk Up, Brick Break, Overheat

HM Slaves: Zigzagoon with Cut, Rock Smash and Surf (boxed), Seedot with Flash (boxed), and Diver (Tentacool) with Surf, Dive, and Waterfall (boxed).


Meh I'm too lazy to do MVPs here. I would say that Hank did the most work against the Elite Four, though.

Update #1

I took on Pewter city gym with a level 15 charmander!
His geodude kept using defense curl and I kept using ember.
His Onix kept using harden and bind, I ended up burning it and it fainted soon after.
I can't believe he didn't rock throw me... haha

Then after that I caught a zubat at Mt. Moon, defeated Gary at the Nugget bridge and that's about it.

Update #4 on Sapphire (small one):

- Defeated Archie at Mount Chimney, Sharpedo was being quite a ***** tho as his Crunch attack hurt like hell.
-Wingull evolved into Pelipper.

4th Gym battle:
Spoiler:

Slugma: Easy win for my new addition Pelipper. The 2nd one did manage to get a Rock Throw in but not too big a trouble.
Torkoal: I got into trouble by his Attract and him scoring a crit with Body Slam on my Pelipper. Anorith was next up but again Attract got the best of me and along with that Body Slam paralyzed my Anorith; it would mean the first faint for Anorith. Due to some potion abusing Torkoal got back to full hp so I sacrificed Cacnea to Leech Seed him. Then I sent Mawile into the fray because Torkoal's special attack was reduced significantly because of Overheat, so his fire attacks wouldnt have that big an effect. This proved the good choice, Mawile finished him off :).


- Received the Go-Goggles
- Went into the desert to get the Lileep fossil (dont know why tho, haha).
- Grinded my HM slave so he could evolve to Linoone and could use Strength.

My team for Sinnoh is going to be: Jynx, Drapion, Togekiss, Houndoom, Empoleon, and Brongzong. I thought about using Hippowden as Sand Stream can help three of my teammates, but I don't really need the boost in SpD for them. Also thinking about using Dusknoir instead of Drapion, as he is available earlier, and doesn't require as much training.

So without further ado, let's start Platinum!

- Named self Jaskil, rival Dorian.
- Chose Piplup as my starter.



- I later named him Emperor (couldn't name him until I talked to Rowan again).
- Played my way to Oreburgh City, fighting Dorian again.



- Emperor evolved into Prinplup inside Oreburgh Cave.
- Challenged the gym.


Lost once due to Metal Claw missing twice against Crainidos and then getting flinched with Headbutt. Second time around, I stuck with Bubble all the way through.

- Taught Rock Smash to a Bidoof that I caught earlier named Bver.
- Also caught a Psyduck named Psydude in Oreburgh Gate and taught him Flash when I got it.
- In Oreburgh, I hacked in a Smoochum egg and hatched it. Named her Jessie.
- Made my way up to Florama Town, training up Jessie with the bait 'n' switch strategy.
- Team Galactic had taken over the Valley Windworks!


Well, not too hard. Emperor 2HKOed Purugly with Bubblebeam.

- Jessie learned Powder Snow, so now she can fight on her own a bit.
- I am now making my way up to Eterna Forest.

Team Jaskil:

Jessie the Quiet Smoochum, ♀ - L13
Ability: Oblivious
Moves: Powder Snow, Sweet Kiss, Pound, Lick

Emperor the Mild Prinplup, ♂ - L21
Ability: Torrent
Moves: Pound, Metal Claw, Bubblebeam, Peck

And 2 HM Slaves: Bver (Bidoof) with Rock Smash, Psydude (Psyduck) with Flash.

Update 4, Day 8

I, N, E, F, F, A

As I left off last time, I was hanging out in Pastoria City and I decided to battle Crasher Wake. I fought a few trainers in his gym but soon decided my team as a whole wasn't quite fit for fighting Water-types, so I went to catch another member of my team. I borrowed a friend's DS to use the dual-slot method to catch a Pineco, then spent some time levelling up. She evolved quickly into a Forretress, and I nicknamed her Bossk. I taught her a few moves from level-up and a few by TM: Dig and Payback. She'll eventually be for Stealth Rock but for now, attacks.
I then taught Melavelta (Espeon) Grass Knot so I could get to it. :) I knocked around the Gym Trainers and made my way through the water to Wake Crasher Wake. This time I've decided to actually illustrate the whole battle, so enjoy it!

Spoiler:

-Gym Leader Crasher Wake sent out Gyarados.

-Melavelta used Reflect!

-Gyarados used Bite!

-Melavelta used Grass Knot!
-Gyarados used Bite!
-Melavelta used Grass Knot!
-Gym Leader Crasher Wake used one Hyper Potion.
-Melavelta used Grass Knot!
-Gyarados used Bite!
Spoiler:
[At 2 HP]
-Melavelta used Grass Knot!
-Foe's Gyarados fainted.



-Gym Leader Crasher Wake sent out Floatzel.

-PKMN Trainer Maggie sent out Jackie. [Ninjask]
-Jackie used Double Team!

-Floatzel used Ice Fang!
-Jackie fainted.

-PKMN Trainer Maggie sent out Bossk.

-Floatzel used Brine!
-Bossk used Payback.

-Floatzel used Brine!
[At half health]
-Bossk used Bug Bite.
-Bossk stole Floatzel's Sitrus Berry and restored health.
[At above half health]

-Floatzel used Brine!

-Bossk used Payback!

-Foe's Floatzel fainted.



-Gym Leader Crasher Wake sent out Quagsire.
-PKMN Trainer Maggie sent out Melavelta.

-Melavelta used Grass Knot!

-Foe's Quagsire fainted.

VICTORY! :D



With a new badge and the ability to Surf in tow, I left the Gym in search for HM03. I rushed through the whole situation afterwards. (Rito [rival] and Crasher Wake and I heard a bomb go off, then I was forced to chase after a Team Galactic Grunt who sent it off.) Afterwards, Cynthia approached me and gave me a Secretpotion to ward off the ailed Psyduck that blocked my way to Celestic Town. Finally. I headed to said Psyduck and did said warding off, and as soon as I did that Cynthia came up to me again and--no idea why she couldn't have given me this at the same time as the Secretpotion--gave me an Old Charm to deliver to her grandmother in Celestic Town. I battled my way through the Hell that is Route 210 (don't make me relive it ;-; ) and made it to Celestic Town. First thing I did there (well, second--I went to the Pokémon Center) was to fight a Team Galactic Grunt that was apparently going to damage the Celestic Ruins or whatever they're called. I beat him handily and proceeded with Cynthia's grandmother into the cave to look at a historical cave painting. Cyrus, apparently curious about how to change the world, appeared out of nowhere to question the old woman. She was stubborn about her own positive view of the world, so for some reason Cyrus decided to challenge me to a children's card game Pokémon battle. No illustrations here, sorry. I didn't really remember it. I defeated him though, and he disappeared. Cynthia's grandmother was so thankful that she gave me HM03 Surf. This is where the fun begins. :D
Ignoring Cynthia and her grandmother talking to me about whatever they were saying, I flew around all over the place exploring things I never could before (mostly those lakes in early towns with items hidden slyly behind them and such). As soon as I was done with this, I went to the next town by sea: Canalave City. I went to the Pokémon Center to heal my Pokémon and then turned off the game. Next time I'll fight Byron. :3

Update #2 on Platinum.

- Got through Eterna Forest with both Jessie and Emperor at L21. I taught Emperor Pluck.
- Challenged the gym.


Took a couple tries, along with sacrifices by both my slaves to heal Jessie so she could take down Roserade with 2 Confusions.

- Got Cut and taught it to Bver, then hacked into the Galatic hideout.


This took a couple tries as well, as Skuntank was OHKOing Jessie with Night Slash. Finally was able to take down Skuntank with 2 Bubblebeams.

- Afterwards, Cynthia gave me the Togepi egg! I hacthed it in Cycling Road and named him Terry. No Extrasensory here, though, unlike HG/SS, which was a bummer.
- Taught Terry Grass Knot so he would have a regular attack move.
- Went into Wayward Cave and got Earthquake, then found Mira.
- Caught a Bronzor named Bobby.
- Led Mira out while fighting all the trainers in the cave.
- Went to Hearthome City after getting a VS Seeker and Dowsing Machine. Thank you Dawn!
- Challenged the gym.


This wasn't too hard. Terry was able to take down Duskull, then put Haunter to sleep with Yawn. I switched to Bobby, who killed Haunter with Extrasensory. After Mismagius beat Bobby, Emperor was able to take the Magical Leaf attacks and beat Mismagius with Bubblebeam and Pluck, which stole the Sitrius Berry.

- Terry evolved into Togetic (with the help of the Soothe Bell I had) after the battle.
- Taught Return to Bobby and Shadow Claw to Emperor.
- On my way out of the city...


Bobby went down, but Terry was able to Charm and Yawn Grotle, then after exhuasting all of his Metronomes, took him down with several Grass Knots, taking the Tackles and Razor Leafs handily after Grotle woke up.

- Going to Solaceon Town next, where Duskull is waiting.

Update!
I finished Rock Tunnel, and came out in Lavender Town. I went over to Celadon City, bought all the drinks, and gave the girl at the top floor all of those. I bought an extra water. I went and beat the Rocket Underground thingy. I got Silph Scope, went back to Lavender town, and beat my rival. I went to the next floor and caught Gastly. I taught it thunderbolt, and I went south of town to level it up. I took the extra fresh water over to the guy in the gate to Saffron City. I gave him the drink so I could go and get TM 29 in Saffron. I taught that to Gastly too, and I beat all the gym trainers with it. Gastly evolved. I got the badge, woke up Snorlax, and then I caught it too. I went and beat the first few Bikers on Cycling Road.

That's what I've accomplished so far.
Here's my party:
Garfield (Snorlax) Lv. 32
Moves: Headbutt, Amnesia, Rest
Plantosaur (Ivysaur): Lv. 32
Moves: same as last update
Spectre (Haunter): Lv. 32
Moves: Psychic, Hypnosis, Night Shade, Thunderbolt
Gyakusatsu (Gyrados): Lv. 33
Moves: Dragon Rage, Ice Beam, Bite, Bubblebeam
Iwark (Onix): Lv. 33
Moves: Dig, Screech, Double-Edge, Rock Slide

On to Cycling Road! I bet raising Tentacruel is gonna suck when I finally get the thing...

I. Am. Awesome.

Update #3 on Platinum.

Started in Hearthome City.

Spoiler:
- Got all the items in Acuity Square.
- Headed to Solaceon Town.
- Caught Dusty the Duskull on the way there.
- Went into the Ruins and got Defog, which I taught to Terry.
- Scaled Lost Tower, training up Dusty with an Exp Share.
- Made my way to Veilstone City, getting some Moomoo Milks along the way. Jessie evolved into Jynx.
- After buying a bunch of Calciums, I challenged the gym.


Dusty took down Meditite with 2 Shadow Sneaks, then took down Machoke with the help of Confuse Ray. After Lucario took him out, Emperor was sent out. I had him use Pluck, thinking that Lucario had a Sitrus Berry, but he didn't (?!?!?!). After Emperor barely survived the second Force Palm with 1 HP (shows 4 in the pic because he grew a level), Bubblebeam crit for a KO!

- Helped Dawn get her Pokedex back, then got Fly and taught it to Terry.
- Headed down to the Valor Lakefront to catch Houndour.
- Caught Hannibal the overleveled Houndour at L28 - he evolves at L24 lol.
- Beat all the trainers along the way to Pastoria. Hannibal evolved into Houndoom, and Bobby evolved into Bronzong.
- In Pastoria, I visited the Move Relearner and taught Terry Magical Leaf and Hannibal Thunder Fang.
- At the entrance to the gym, Dorian snuck up from behind to challenge me.


Starvaria used Double Team, Endeavor and Quick Attack to take down three of my Pokemon. Terry finally beat him with Magical Leaf, and after he went down to Buizel, Emperor took him and Ponyta out, then fell to Grotle. Bobby finished Grotle with Extrasensory.

- After I beat the trainers on the other route from Hearthome, I was ready for the gym.


This one took all I had, due to some bad decisions like sending out Jessie to face Floatzel and getting OHKOed by Crunch.. Bobby was my last Pokemon, and he took down Quagsire with Extrasensory.

- The Galactic Bomb went off, and I chased down the Grunt and beat him.
- Cynthia gave me the SecretPotion.
- I healed the group of Psyduck, and got the Old Charm from Cynthia. That's when I saved the game.


Currently, I am heading to Celestic Town.

Team Jaskil:

Jessie the Quiet Jynx, ♀ - L35 @ Amulet Coin
Ability: Oblivious
Moves: Confusion, Fake Tears, Powder Snow, Sweet Kiss

Dusty the Relaxed Duskull, ♂ - L35 @ Spooky Plate
Ability: Levitate
Moves: Night Shade, Confuse Ray, Shadow Sneak, Secret Power

Big update now for my Sapphire Run:

- Got some evolutions before taking on Petalbrug Gym: Voltorb and Cacnea both evolved

- 5th Gym Battle:
Spoiler:

Slaking no.1: I thought I'd be smart by starting off with Anorith and using Dig to avoid it's attack, too bad Dig didnt have enough PP for that tho. So Electrode came in and finished it off with Spark.
Slaking no.2: Sacrificed Cacturn for a Leech Seed, finished it off With Electrode with some help of paralysis.
Vigoroth: I managed to paralyze him with Electrode but then he scores a crit which prevents me from using Selfdestruct :(, Bagon finished him with the help of paralysis tho.


- Taught Surf to Linoone and battled some trainers at sea.
- Some TM abusing: Mawile learnt Icebeam! Anorith learnt facade!
- Bagon evolved
- Paid a visit to the Weather Institute
- Defeated rival easily.
- Got Devon Scope

- 6th Gym Battle:
Spoiler:

Swellow: Electrode's Thunderbolt took care of that easily.
Altaria: She countered Thunderbolt with Earthquake, perfect timing for a Selfdestruct!
Pelipper: Gave her a taste of my own Pelipper which 1hko's it with Shock Wave?
Skarmory: Pelipper's Shock Wave vs her Aerial Ace and potion spam; Pelipper wins


- Taught Aerial Ace to Pelipper
- Defeated rival again, easy.
- Taught Fire Blast to Shellgon.
- Defeated Team Aqua at Mt.Pyre
- Infiltrated Team Aqua's base.
- Off to Mossdeep where I grabbed Dive HM.


Current Team:

Shellgon: Lv 36
- Protect
- Bite
- Fire Blast
- Headbutt

Evolving it really was a good thing for my team. His Headbutt is devastating and I finally could change that lousy Ember to a good Fire Blast.

Pelipper: Lv 36
- Shock Wave
- Aerial Ace
- Steel Wing
- Water Gun

Allrounder as you can see by his moveset, blends in nicely with the rest of the team.

Anorith: Lv 36
- Facade
- Metal Claw
- Dig
- Water Gun

Became one of my weaker pokémon, probably because it's the only one who hasnt evolved yet (apart from Mawile who doesnt evolve). Was a good choice to replace Scratch with Facade. Also the water weakness wasnt too healthy lately with all those water pokémon trainers at sea.

Cacturne: Lv 36
- Leech Seed
- Toxic
- Giga Drain
- Ingrain

This guy is quite the pain to fight against haha, gradually taking your HP. Too bad he has so many weaknesses. Looking out for a better attacking move than Giga Drain (low PP). Also gotta decide if I go for something Grass or Poison (or even something else).

Electrode: Lv 36
- Charge
- Selfdestruct
- Roll Out
- Thunderbolt

Wow this guy has turned out to be one of my most reliable pokémon. He was such a pain as a Voltorb with his bad moves, but since I taught him Thunderbolt and he knows Selfdestruct he's my "search and destroy machine".

Mawile: Lv 36
Ice Beam
Vicegrip
Fake Tears
Crunch

Ice Beam! Pew pew pew. I'm about to find out if it's good to use a Steel type vs Dragons haha. Otherwise Vicegrip does relally good tho, havent tested Crunch out that much because I just got it. Probably she will be my anti-ghost pokémon too.
