    I have a very simple mission to accomplish. Since I don't find fun in completing my pokedex, I find my kicks while playing to create a perfect team (exempt from using legendaries, I never touch the things). Now my mission is to complete all gym challenges and the pokemon league in D/P whilst only using bug type pokemon.

    I started with a Kricketot and my team is now Kricketune 30, Beautifly 30, Wormadam (Steel) 30, Wormadam (Earth) 26, and Vespiquen 21. The game has yet to be too much of a challenge, though I only have 2 badges and have been playing for 23 hours, I have had to grind and train my pokemon alot more then I ever have had to do before.

    Has anyone ever tried to accomplish this feat that I am yearning to accomplish? If so I'd like to know some information on how you personally completed it. Also, would anyone be interested to know my progress and when I am able to complete it, what my team will consist of in the end?

    Just thought some of you other pokefans would be interested.

    Thanks,
    The (Self Proclaimed) Bug Master.
     
    Use a Heracross. That should pretty much kill everything.
     
    Any tips on which honey trees may produce a Heracross? Since, I have not been able to find one yet. (I've been leaving the 6th spot in my team open for one.)
     
    Get a Heracross as a pretty awesome physical sweeper, and Yanmega as another bug-type if you want.

    Thank you, but I am aware of the bug elite 4 trainer, Since, I have already beaten this game.

    Again, any trees in certain areas that would be best to find the Heracross?
     
    All honey trees produce the same Pokemon. It just takes time and patience. LOTS of it.

    Also, if you had the National Dex, DEFINITELY use Yanmega. There are very few bug-types that don't suck.

    I wont be able to obtain a Yanmega until completing the game and receiving the nationaldex.
     
    if you really want heracross, its timing.
    wait until a few minuites before the end of 24 hours since you put the honey on the tree
     
    Seriously? I usually dont even wait a full 24 hours to check my honey trees, maybe 10 at the most. So, if I wait longer and try to time it perfectly as you say, I will get a Heracross? Or is it a better chance? I would like to know if others believe the same thing or if it is just your personal idea.

    airconditioning, thank you for letting me know that the area of the tree doesnt matter, that makes searching for one a bit less stressful.
     
    Just a though: How are you going to teach your Pokemon surf or rock smash/climb? I'm not sure if there are any Bug types who can learn those HMs...lol, just a thought

    It's bull. I can understand what he's talking about- soft resetting right before the tree shakes, then checking the tree every time for a new Pokemon- but it doesn't work. There are two reasons for this.

    1) It takes 8 hours for the tree to shake, not 24.
    2) The trees shake based on the internal clock. Soft-resetting wouldn't turn back time. And don't even say to turn back the internal clock.

    I switch my pokemon in and out with other types that know those moves, I just dont use anything but bug pokemon to fight other pokemon. Its a bit annoying to go to the pc and switch them in and out but ultimately its worth the fun and the challenge.

    Also to add to that. I restarted to get a female burmy both times, but once its a burmy on a tree its only a burmy every time you restart. So youre not going to get a new pokemon to appear on the tree by resetting, its already set.

    When you shake a tree, the Pokemon that appears will always be the same; Only the stats, gender, etc will change. And I know this as a fact. 100% certain, incase "certain people" try to object ._.

    I completely second you in that, like I said above.
     
    NO I DONT MEAN SOFT-RESETING
    i can tell you

    firstly, if the tree shakes after 8 hours that dosent prove anything
    that is just the minimum time

    i suffered to get my heracross before i used that method
    just try it okay

    I am going to give you the benefit of the doubt and try it out. I have nothing to lose in all of it. Thanks for your personal advice, and if it works, even more thanks!

    Hold on, you mean just waiting a few minutes before 24 hours and then shaking it? It doesn't matter how long you wait, the same Pokemon is going to be there. I think it was just luck.

    Thats actually a really good point. Here I am preaching the fact that its always the same pokemon once its set, and I didnt even think that that would affect this particular idea of obtaining a heracross.
