Cool, cool. What's your proposed end-game team, might I ask? Or is it undecided?

I'd definitely get Dustox right at about 24 or so, but that's just for fallback. Your best bet: Evolve Nincada and follow the steps to get a Shedinja. You don't even have to use Shedinja the whole game, but for this fight, I HIGHLY advise you do that. Shedinja's types are Bug and Ghost, meaning Wattson's Magneton can't hurt you with Sonic Boom or Shock Wave. I believe (can't remember... dang you, short-term memory loss) his other moves are Supersonic (this is one for sure) and Screech (not so sure). Regardless, Shedinja's your best bet, and if, for any reason he fails to get rid of Magneton however he can, you can count on Dustox to clean things up.

If you skimmed over that, which I honestly probably would, this is a summary of what I just said: Get Dustox to 24 (he'll learn Psybeam) and evolve Nincada, making sure to have a free Pokeball and free party slot when he evolves to get Shedinja. You don't have to do anything special to Shedinja. Also, level Ninjask to 25 and get Swords Dance. In my opinion, at 25, his moveset should be: Sand-Attack, Fury Cutter, Screech (important), Swords Dance (important).

For his Voltorb, use Dustox and abuse Psybeam. Magnemite and Magneton, switch in Shedinja and use Sand-Attack until their accuracy can't go any lower. Then, bring in Dustox and Psybeam away. If that doesn't work, you can risk pulling Ninjask in and setting up two Swords Dances and two to three Screeches, then Fury Cutter them until the K.O.

Hope that helped. :3

i'm pretty sure magneton has supersonic and thunder wave in addition to sonicboom and shock wave, so i don't know if shedinja would be a good idea. magneton would likely be faster than shedinja, so if it gets a thunder wave off, and then confuses it, it's over. i would concentrate on dustox because of its special defense and typing; it wouldn't be hit that hard by shock waves. then again, nincada learns dig at level 45...

anyway, my update:
-beat brawly with ease.
-evolved both members of my team by the time i got to slateport.
-lost to wattson a couple times. or many times, i lost count.
-while EV training DumbBeach, i came across a surskit, so i caught it.
-put it in the daycare so i didn't have to do as much work, took it out at level 22.
-trained it to level 25 to learn bubblebeam and evolved it.
-trained it up to level 30 before taking on wattson again.
-somehow managed to beat the old man.
-caught a skarmory, decided against using it.

as for end-game team, probably these three and maybe a xatu or dodrio or both. xatu's pretty useless unless you feed it TMs, so maybe not so much xatu.

True, true... Regardless, it IS doable. A pain in the ars, but doable.

Good progress. 8D Looking forward to the next update.

And nice end-game team proposal. It's different. Perhaps not the best, but different and surely effective. :3
 
Wattson was extreemly easy.I used no Potion (I did use a revive though)

It went like this

Ninjask used Screech
Magnimite used Thunder Wave
Ninjask Used Screech
Magnimite used Supersonic

Switched into Beautifly (I wasnt thinking)

Magnimite used Thundershock (30% HP Left)
Beautifly used Stun Spore
Magnimite used Thunder Wave
Beautifly used Absorb
Magnimite cant move
Beautifly used absorb
Magnimite use Thunder Shock

Beautifly K.Oed

Go Shedninja
Shedninja Used Fury Cutter a bunch of times till magnimite died (I got lucky with Supersonic)

Voltorb vs Shedninja

Voltorb used Rollout (.....Dang it)

Go Dustox
Protected it then Confustion spamed

Magneton vs Illumise

Illumise PP Stalled its Supersonic

Then revived Shednija

Shednija Screeched then Fury Cutter

Easy Win =)

Hey, nice goin'! Nice use of Fury Cutter. I wonder how you're going to handle Lavaridge... ;D

Anyway, here's an update~:

---------- Update ----------

*image removed*
----------------------

- Did a little bit of last-minute training before heading in the gym.
- Challenged the Lavaridge Town Gym; I defeated Flannery (Overheat baiting ftw) and obtained the Heat Badge.
- Met up with May outside the gym and was given the Go-Goggles.
- Backtracked all the way back to Dewford Town.
- Challenged the Dewford Town Gym; I defeated Brawly (that's an understatement) and claimed the Knuckle Badge.
- Continue to backtrack until I landed in Petalburg City.
- Challenged the Petalburg City Gym, easily breezing through the opposition; I defeated Norman and obtained the Balance Badge.
- Talked to Wally's dad and received HM 03, the ever-important Surf.
- Made my way to Mauville.
- Talked with Wattson and accepted the quest of turning the generator off in New Mauville.
- Surfed over to New Mauville and opened the locked door.
- Descended down into the basement, where I found and captured my final team pokemon: Magnemite.

Currently: Making my way through New Mauville to turn off the generator deep inside.

Lee,Im scared of Flannery at this point.Considering how under lvled my team is.Illuminise is my only pokemon that can at least do some effeicent damage.So I might use her.
 
mmmm, another update. awesome.

-foiled some plans team aqua had involving a meteorite and a volcano.
-beat that fire gym leader
-then i beat norman with the worst strategy that ever happened. i got rid of protect on DumbBeach right before the match which was really stupid. so then i decided stockpiling and swallowing was the best thing to do, which it wasn't, because i got owned. and Skittles doesn't have very good defenses, so that ended quickly. Swallows had to beat vigoroth and the last slaking. it did, but now all my soda pops are gone :(
-saved the weather institute.
-beat winona with DumbBeach and his ice beam and surf.
-made my way to lilycove
-caught a doduo and natu in the safari zone, but i only ended up catching 3 natus, all of which had less than desirable natures. and then i found out xatu doesn't learn psychic until level 65 AND it doesn't learn anything very good from TMs. instead, i took the loneliest doduo and trained it to a dodrio.

and then i saved.

In my opinion, your most used pokemon are probably going to be Ninjask and Shedinja, and when you get him, Armaldo. If only you could get your hands on Anorith BEFORE Flannery, she wouldn't be a problem, but... T_T I feel your pain...

(The first part of the "paragraph" above was... random, to say the least.)

Your best bet is to level like no tomorrow and gain blatently obvious level advantage. ._. The obvious answer, I know, but... T_T

Sorry for the late reply, I'm looking into competitive battling. o:

You're going a little slower than me and syphilis, but that's okay, your run's considerably harder. I mean, every gym so far has been anti-bug. X_X or anti-flying, which several of your pokemon are, so it's hardly your fault. Heck, even Maxie's anti-you. You can't catch a break. T_T I suppose you finally will against Norman and against Tate & Liza, but still...

I woke up today and started thinking, "If I finished the Steel-Type run soon, possibly even today (not impossible), Should I do another run while I wait? Or find something else to do? Hmm..."

On the note of my Steel-Type run, I've been thinking lately of my end-game team. Originally, it was going to be just the three I have now, Aggron, Skarmory, and Magneton. But, now I'm pondering my decision. Aggron has the ability to have amazing type coverage with such a HUGE pool of available TMs he can learn. Thus, to avoid running into type problems, maybe I should get a second Aggron... What do you guys think?
 
Last edited:
Another Aggron will be a huge help,but with its Low SP.Atk and Hard Experience Curve it may to much of a burden.But I say go for it.

May I suddgest the move set?

Dragon Claw
Surf
Flamethrower
Metal Claw/EQ/SolarBeam

The 2nd aggron should have lots of Coverage,despite his low Sp.Attack

Edit:I beat maxie with a Swords Dance Sweep :D My Team is the same but at Lvl 27,with the exeption of Illumise at Lvl 26

That is the EXACT same move set I was going to put on him. Seriously. Great minds think alike. ;D

Good job. Swords Dance FTW. :3
 
Thank you,right now im fighting the gym trainers overlvling ninjask cause i have a feeling dig will pwn her
 
Last edited:
It will. The best thing to do, though, is honestly sacrifice one of your pokemon against Torkoal and make him waste away his Special Attack with Overheat. Then, once he's too weak to pose any real threat, sweep with Ninjask. o:
 
Can someone say Pushover?Seriously I beat her on my first try.Ninjask OHKO the slugmas with Dig,then i baited Torkaol out of Overheat with the rest of my bugs (Secret Power Paralyzed her also :D)then Ninjask finished the job. Props for baiting (The second gym so far that I PP stalled yay)
 
Hey man, no problem. 8D That is, if you're giving props to me. o.o if not, well, um... .___.; lol.

Anyway, yeah, making pretty good progress on that second Aggron, currently Aron. He's Lv. 29 right now, just learned Iron Tail. I'll make a full update in a bit, maybe once I've made it to Fortree since I'm not far from there.
 
Yeah Im giving props to you.I will also make a full update when I reach Fortree aswell (Or the end of the Day)Just got Claw Fossil :D.
