If you use the VS Seeker, is it possible to re-fight the Gym Leaders?

Nope, you can't use Vs. Seeker in-doors.

Maybe normal type has no advantages against any other type, but Return is quite good, especially if your Pokemon's level is high. I have a L100 Quilava in Pokemon Crystal and I taught it Return (the other three are fire-type moves), and I can beat Red with Quilava only. Everytime I went to Silver Cave to battle Red, I brought only 2 Pokemon: Quilava and another that can use flash.

Mm, okay, maybe listening to your suggestions can help me to build better team. I'll try it on my new Pokemon. Thankiez! ;)

Of Course its because..
1. Quilava is Lvl 100
2. Return had max happiness rating, giving it an attack of 102


Evs are given to ALL pokemon that are present in battle right?
I keep confusing myself from the EVs.

 

[shanecdavis]

Correct, ANY Poke that takes part in a battle will earn the approapriate EV points. On top of that ANY Poke holding the Exp Share, regardless if they participated in the battle or not, will also earn the appropriate EV points.

Help!

I am so lost in the Lost Cave. Please tell me how to find that rich lady. A guy told me something about the # of boulders being a hint but its makes no sence.

Looks at the rocks like a clock:

Three rocks -> 3 o'clock -> go right
Six rocks -> 6 o'clock -> go down
Nine rocks -> 9 o'clock -> go left
Twelve rocks -> 12 o'clock -> go up

Mmm...shanecdavis, u said that u can choose da best move 4 Pokemon, rite? How if helping me a little? I'm so confused with my three legendary birds' moves. Can u tell the best pack for those three?

And...its that valuable teaching my new Dragonite the TM dragon claw?

Thankiez:)

*About the return move...of course it's because my Quilava has reached L100 but I won't be able to beat Red with only one type of move if my Quilava doesn't learn Return so for me Return is great when Pokemon has reached L100. And it's true that the power is maximum becuz my Quilava has never fainted so I think it's happy.

ONLY USE THIS MOVESET IN-GAME

And...its that valuable teaching my new Dragonite the TM dragon claw?

Not really. There are better options, such as the Dragon Dance or SubPunch set. Dragon Claw can be used as a last option, I guess.

Thankiez:)

The real problem is that Return is not SE against ANY type in the game. On the other hand, a Quilava with Earthquake is SE against Electric, Rock, and Steel and will do more damage than a non-SE Return will. It is also only 2 AP less than Return against non-SE opponents to boot.

Just make sure you only use that combo in-game because it is a crappy combo and should be avoided when battling link/NB battles against someone who wil simply switch out to another Poke as soon as you use Mind Reader. The pathetic AI will rarely, if ever, do that. One can only hope this changes in DP and there are actually difficulty settings so it can at least be a challenge.

 

[Dragon Princess]

Hahahaha...I would like to join online battle but unfortunately with my condition now I can never ever join online battle...if u understand what I mean.

What are the differences in Pokemon between Fire Red and Leaf Green?? (where you get them would be a big help to!)

 

[aragornbird]

~*^*~~*^*~ ~*^*~ ~*^*~ ~*^*~~*^*~

There are some Pokemon you can catch on FR that you can't catch on LG. They are:
Pokemon you can't catch in LG are Ekans, Oddish, Growlithe, Elekid, Scyther, Shellder, Wooper, Murkrow, Skarmory, Qwilfish, Delibird, and all their evolutions.
Also, in LG, Deoxys transforms into Defense version and in FR, Deoxys transforms into Attack version.

Where you get them? Wherever games are sold in your area. I mean, just about every town in the US has a Wal-Mart or Best Buy or something.
You can also buy them online from Amazon or other online stores.

I was just wondering, what does the move Curse do?

 

[Gary the Magic Fairy]

If the pokemon is Ghost type, it takes half the users total HP, and causes a poison-like condition on the opponent.

If its not ghost type, it lowers speed and raises attack and defence.

 

[shanecdavis]

Kind of. What it really does is damage the opponent 1/4 of their max HP each turn.

 

[the best hoenn 92]

ummm... someone told me that in r/b/y if u beat the E4 a certain number of time u get ur own gym, if this is true does the same go for fr/lg thanx if any one answers.

 

[Forci Stikane]

No, that person lied to you.

 

[shanecdavis]

Wow. That is about as dumb as the one about after losing so many times to the TR Grunt on Nugget Bridge you can become a member of TR.

 

[Kaseo]

Hey can anyone tell me some of the strongest non-ice/water moves Lapras can learn?

Thanks.
