You're better off setting up your own moveset for each of your Pokemon, then post a thread in the in-game team help section in Battle Center and you'll get much better answers there. If you post your team in that section without moves though, it will be against the rules. So at least attempt to come up with possible moves for each.
 
i'm playin yellow version and got a jolteon. but he doesn't learn any good moves for about 45 or 50 levels! how do i get my jolteon to a decent moveset, so it can at least survive for a bit until it gets to the light at the end of the tunnel???
 
Give it Thunderbolt first and foremost, unless you gave it to something else...which...that would suck. If you don't have it, you could go for Thunder. The TM is in the Power Plant. Then perhaps Body Slam, just for general coverage and paralysis chance. Double Kick would provide some coverage as well, and to end off, Toxic or Thunder Wave. Jolteon doesn't have a lot to work with in Gen V unfortunately, so this was the best I could really come up with.

Pin Missile isn't half bad either. It'll do some decent damage to Psychic types like Alakazam.

Need help completing Pokedex in Gold

I almost finished the game (I just need to battle Red) and I need to see/battle these Pokemon to complete the Pokedex:
Cyndaquil, Quilava, Kabuto, Omanyte, Donphan, Chansey, Ledian, and Skarmory.
I also can't trade (bare that in mind) so add these as well:
Politoed, Scizor, and Porygon2.

I want someone to tell me if any trainers/NPCs in the game have them, or if they have them un-evolved so they can evolve later, or where I can find them if they are rare somewhere...
Thanks in advance.
 
Check Serebii's PokeEarth. It lists all the trainers in the areas and what Pokemon they have.

I also want to note that it doesn't count as a complete Pokedex unless you have caught everyone Pokemon. Seeing them doesn't work in older games. That was a mechanic added in gen IV.
 
Cyndaquil and Quilava: I don't think you can encounter those without trading with someone else
Kabuto: You can only get it with the time capsule (trading with Gen I games)
Omanyte: Trade
Donphan: Only in Silver or Crystal
Chansey: Routes 13, 14, and 15 (But it's rare)
Ledian: Only in Silver and Crystal
Skarmory: Only in Silver and Crystal

As for the one you get from trades, I don't think you can get it without trading with other people.

Hope this helps

In Gold and Silver, it is a roaming Pokémon like Entei and Raikou. In Crystal it's in the Bell Tower.

Dunsparce is in the NU tier whereas Qwilfish is in the RU tier. (I believe this is right.)

Hope this helps. :)

That is in the 5th generation, they are in UU in the 2nd generation, which is the lowest tier of the generation. NU and RU do not exist in the 2nd generation.
 
Strategy for R/B/Y?

Hey all, its been awhile since i've played R/B/Y and I decided to start playing them again, now I remember I was to take all my time to leveling each pokemon i got to a certain lvl so i could have them all even in level, but now i'm playing again, and wondering, at the beginning should I just lvl up certain pokemon until i reach a certain point then just lvl up the rest later on if and when i need certain others?
 
That is what I did when I played Red and Yellow recently. Before every gym I would level up my Pokemon to a certain level so that the gyms would be a lot easier. Before I battled Brock, I made sure all my Pokemon were level 15. Before Misty, I made sure they were level 25, and so on. It does take a lot of time, but it makes gym leaders easy to beat.
 
I mean like, i'm right at the 2nd Gym with Misty, and lvl'ing up the 6 pokemon I do have on hand in the grass area outside town, now should I just concentrate on certain pokemon I would need for every area and every gym or lvl up all the pokemon I have, or just lvl up pokemon i currently own as needed if i need them?
 
I like to have a team planned that I will take with me to the Elite Four, and train only those Pokemon. Try planning a nice, balanced team. I don't have trouble going through the game that way. Sometimes it takes a while before I have my full team assembled, but that's okay, because it's harder to train a full team so early on.

Though I don't know a lot of people that play the games the same. I think you'll just have to find a way that works for you. How I play the games now took a long time to get to, actually.
 
Is there a way to tell how the various stats of a given Pokemon will look at any given level for generations that don't have the 'Nature' quality?

Example:

In my Red game, I caught a level 4 Kakuna (gotta love those 'catch it before it should exist' encounters!) and I'm planning to level it to 99 and then let it evolve to Beedrill at 100 so I have a slower but higher defense version of it.

However, at level 64 with it right now and it's really starting to take its toll on me and I have trouble judging whether or not it will have a significant enough change in stat allocation to make it worth continuing.

So, again, any way to punch in what a Pokemon will look like, statwise, when there aren't things like their nature to worry about (since again, this is Gen 1 for my example)?
