  • So I just had a foot surgery yesterday, and have been out of it, I've been playing my ds all throughout the day when waking up from my pain pill haze, and this may be the pills, but I thought of something, I'm sure that a lot of you do this, but do you abuse the bridge to Driftveil?

    That's all I have been doing when awake XD

    Anyone else do this? They can sell for a solid amount or strengthen your pokemon :D

    Tbh, I never use that, lol. When I need money I grind on the E4, and when I want to EV train I fight Pokemon cause that's faster. xD

  • Those "feather bridges" are where I enjoy hatching my eggs.
    Swanna give good experience.

    And if I ever see a shiny Ducklett?

  • I'm not really into EV Training for in-game battles, so I don't EV Train nor do I exploit the bridge, although I will definitely use one of the stat boosting feathers, if I'm lucky enough to find one.

  • The wings? I dunno what that's for nor do I want them. I barely walk on the bridges anyway. I try and avoid feathers 'cause sometimes wild Pokemon pop out.

  • I try every once in a while, but I get bored around 15 of each.

    Its not as fast as spamming basculin or litwicks, so usually I don't.

    If I don't decide to use fly to get around Unova and I happen to be on the bridge I'd grab a few feathers here and there, as they appear. They do have a useful purpose when EV training so I don't sell them, except the Pretty Wing since it's just...there looking pretty. :(

  • Sometimes I go to the bridges to pick up wings. But I still like EV training against other Pokemon, though.

    Not really - I kinda let the shadows appear on their own while I ride through the bridges.

    They make me money, so I sell them. :3 On Black that is, since if I felt like ev training properly I would've used vitamins instead of the feathers for higher ev gain, so...

    But really, great source of money.

    I always hoard those wings/feathers when I'm in need of money--it's my main source of income. I don't need them for EV training anyways since I'm pretty content with doing that the usual way (Power Item+Battling a certain type of Pokemon over and over).

    Pretty Wings don't sell for much but I've put them to use too by making hatched Pokemon with Good IVs hold them as a marker.

  • I only really got them while I was looking for a Ducklett with a good nature, so I got a fair few of them, but I haven't really done it since.
