Sinnoh Journey Journal v.2 - Share your travelling stories

Just went through the Battleground. Got a little bit ticked that Roark and Gardenia were sitting at the same table, so I vented out some fury by letting some Staraptor anger unleash on her grass-types...and I pulled out Gengar too. >:3 And then I went to go beat Candice and Roark since no one else was there (and felt kinda sad when I beat Roark...again.)
 
Currently training my elite 4 team.
I plan to challenge the elite 4 within 2 weeks.

Planned elite 4 team
Torterra lv.65
Staraptor lv.55
Electrivire lv.55
Houndoom lv.55
Gyarados lv.55
Snorlax lv.55
 
Currently on a spree of catching Tyrogue because they took FOREVER to find a single one. I'm going to level one up with good defense to 20 so I can get a Bullet Punch Hitmonchan, then breed it with a Ditto to get an Adamant Tyrogue for a Bullet Punch Hitmonlee. :D

I also thought my Battle Frontier team was unbeatable until I encountered an amazing team... I had: Heatran, Ludicolo and Tyranitar... the opponent had a Hitmonlee which destroyed Heatran, then a Clefable which took out Ludicolo after receiving a Hi-Jump Kick from Hitmonlee, and then took out Tyranitar with a Meteor Mash... I was just about at my 21 streak.

Sadly... yes my Pokemon are EV trained. XD;

With that Tyrogue I the Bullet Punch Hitmonchan. I also obtained an Adamant Ditto and ended up breeding like 50 Tyrogues. I hatched around 15 that seemed decent and I found a great IV'd one (at least to me, since it was my first time IV breeding).

30/30/14/13/26/25

The speed isn't the greatest, but attack and HP are amazing.

Currently I'm battling the Gentleman and Socialite by the Trophy Garden to get a lot of money so I can buy vitamins to start a big EV training spree. First one up is Bullet Punch Hitmonlee. ;)
 
I picked my EV reducing berries that had been growing for over 24 hours -_-. Each plant had 5 berries on it, so that wasn't so bad.. I guess. I started breeding some Mr. Mime in the hope of finding one with a good special defense and the Filter ability. I couldn't find one, so I gave up, and called the Calm one with Soundproof good enough. Soon, I'm going to breed for a Hasty or Jolly Seedot. This all goes into my double-battle technique, so I don't have to rely on ubers anymore.

Nothing else much, really. Those berries have been eating my time up like crazy.
 
I'm not tragically unlucky when it comes to catching legendaries, but this is ridiculous. x_X

So I was getting ready to go to the Spear Pillar to catch Dialga and Palkia. I spent practically all my money on 110 Ultra Balls and 60 Net Balls, hauled my team up Stark Mountain, challenge Dialga, get its health down to red with one Close Combat, and catch it with one Ultra Ball. Then I challenge Palkia, get it into the red with another Close Combat and a Return, and catch it. With one Net Ball.

So, yeah, I was really happy, but also pretty annoyed that I just had to sell 70 Ultra Balls and 30 Net Balls back to the PokeMart. xP

I always have at least 50 Ultra Balls on hand, so what was the point of selling them back?

Anyways I finished EV training my Hitmonlee I've just gotta level it up to get the right moveset. Moveset I'm going for is Bullet Punch, Close Combat, Blaze Kick and Sucker Punch.
 
Oooh just found this thread XD I will try and sum up what i have done the last few days:

1. Found my first shiny D/P Pokemon, Palkia (Hell yeah!).
2. Took out Sunnyshore Gym, which was a bit of a challenge as I lack any type advantages over electrics o.O
3. Made my way through Victory Road after stocking up with some Super Potions ;).
4. Caught Azelf and Uxie (Still don't have Mesprite D:) and then made my way to the league.
5. After about an hour of hardcore battles I finally beat Cynthia! :D Weee.

Team I beat the league with:

Floatzel
Lv 50 at the end of the League,

Palkia
Lv 48 at the end of the League,

Azelf
Lv 50 at the end of the League (Poor thing didn't really get used! :P)

Raichu
Lv 47 at the end,

Crobat
Lv 43 at the end,

Infernape
Lv 43 at the end.

With the lower levels it was hard beating any grass types haha, but I got there! :D *highfivesself*
 
Pretty much been breeding and shuffling my team Roster to take care of some glaring weakness. Currently EV training a Salamence for battle and just finished breeding my Houndoom Breeding Project.

The best way to catch Dialga and Palkia is too fight them at night and use Dusk Balls. Dusk balls have a x4 catch rate at night and in dark places/caves. It only took me 1 dusk ball each to catch Dialga and Palkia.
 
After defeating Roark at the Oreburgh City gym, I went back to Jubilife City and fought Team Galactic. When I defeated Team Galactic, I traveled through the cave and entered Floaroma Town.

I went underground to get a Claw Fossil. I got a bunch of junk, a Red Shard =D, and a Claw Fossil. Convenient...and I lost too early at the Battle Factory for me to want to try again for a while.

I don't play Open Level normally 'cause then I can avoid being beaten by GASTRODON and...well, I don't remember what else there was. URSARING, too...
