3rd Gen Simple Questions (Ask Questions Here)

Who should i teach dig to?

Don't teach it to anyone - Dig sucks. Just carry Escape Ropes if you want to use it to get out of caves easily. For the getting the Regis, any ground type. If you want a ground move, go with Earthquake all the way. It's devastating even when non STABed, perhaps the best all-round Attack move.

Oh, and Ichaste Pekoni: STFU.

It's ridiculous if you think someone is going to do a search for a post TWO MONTHS ago for a question. If we went by that philosophy, this thread would not get much attention, as I bet that nearly every "simple" question has been answered at least once before. So mind your manners, and get on with your next abomination, which is probably scheduled for immediately.

I just needed someone to dig to, for catching the Regis'. Thanks for the help guys.

New Question: can I use repels to find Latios/Latias in the same maner as the dogs in GSC?

 

[Maple Meganium]

Red X: Yes, you can. I personally would rather just look in the Pokédex to see if I'm on the same route as them. They don't move until you either move to a different route, enter a house, or encounter them, and their encounter rate is fairly high, so it doesn't take long to find them.

 

[Red X]

I haven't acually found Latias yet.

New Question: can I use repels to find Latios/Latias in the same maner as the dogs in GSC?

If I remember, there is a method to catching Lati@s easily... well, finding them at least. Please correct me if I'm wrong!

Find a patch of grass (or border of water) that is close to a house. Search the patch for about 5 or 10 minutes with repels/super repels, and if you don't find them in 5 to 10 minutes, go into the house, exit, and try again. Seems to work for me, at least. You won't waste time "hunting" them, because [sarcasm]where's the fun in that? [/sarcasm]

 

[Red X]

Thanks for the help, I'll give it a try.

hello everyone.... i have a question: how to get feebas? i read some walkthrough that a feebas has a randomize block? is that true?

 

[MrRandomIDon'tCare]

well, the only place to get feebas is the underwater route in the seaweed/grassy areas. it is REALLY hard to find tho, seeing as the only places it can be found are 6 squares of space in the underwater area. it is randomly changed when u change the popular message in dewford.

Wrong! It only appears on 6 random tiles on route 119, not underwater.

 

[Red X]

ok, sorry about that, my memory's a bit hazy, lol

shoal cave is just north of mossdeep city, and the gym leaders challenge you again after (i think) a week or so. but not in human time, in Hoenn time. so if u play non stop for a week, then they shud re-challenge u.

North of mossdeep there you can find a spheal,zubats and hunt for something to get a shell bell!

a week...a month...a year...i dunno roxanne is the only one who challenged me so i cant tell you

*oh sorry for being unclear to you....now you have too much trouble because of me...T_T

 

[Atabas]

I just keep plowing through the elite 4 and every now and then I check my trainers eyes
Ive been rechallenge by roxanna, brawly and windola (can't spell)

 

[jammi567]

You must be sick of me constantly posting questions on this thread, but i have nother question. I'm playing Emerald, i have finally reached the Elite 4. I can beat all o them easly until i reach Drake. I beat his first couple of pokemon easly enough with that evolution of Maril with Ice Beam learnt, and then he brings out Kingra (however you spell it). I then switch out to the third evolution of Ralts with Thunderbolt learnt. I get it down a bit, then he swaps out to some pokemon that knows earthquake, which totally destroys my team.

Help, please!

 

[MrRandomIDon'tCare]

which starter did u choose? coz if u chose mudkip, then it shud be easy. :/

 

[jammi567]

I picked the fire one, because everyone was saying how it was easy to beat the E4 with.

 

[MrRandomIDon'tCare]

well, they were wrong. mudkip is even easy for the first couple of gyms. but for the ice trainer in the E4 (glacia i think) just switch out to an ice or electric type.

[RYOUKI]

Yup Blaziken makes the e4 easy
i just beat them at my lvl 45-49 easily
oh and about drake
use a dragon type, kingdra's not the strongest but it only has one weakness
i think this is the pokemon need to beat the e4
Starter
Flying
Water
Electric
Ice
Dragon
oh and you can eclude all but not electric and ice

 

[Ayano Katagiri]

You shouldn't have much trouble against the crappy R/S/E AI with Blaziken or Swampert. Use the type advantage to beat them.

Yup Blaziken makes the e4 easy
i just beat them at my lvl 45-49 easily

Not really. Swampert is the best starter to use to beat the whole game, including the E4.

You don't need a type of each to beat them. Especially Ice type. Seeing as a say, Swampert can deal both Ice and Water attacks, there is no need to have separate Pokemon for each type. Electric also isn't that needed as you can just use Gardevoir-Tbolt like jammi567 has currently.

 

[RYOUKI]

oh...well i beat the e4 with this types with the exception of flying/dragon dual types and adding ghost and psychic (no not gardevoir sorry)
