[It's Just Fufu]

Still SRing for a shiny Drifloon. On Friday, I'll train my Pokemon a bit, then come back to soft reset for it. I don't plan on giving up for it. I'm also SRing for Turtwig in my brother's Pearl version. Wish me luck.

Bought Honey and put it on trees.
Capture Drifloon.
Got....tatatam....Pkrus!!!!!
As you see, today was a lucky day for me, Pkrus, rare honey tree pokemon, good times.

 

[It's Just Fufu]

I'm at the Game Corner right now, I will return to SRing for Drifloon at the end of the day. I also hope to find a Munchlax, so that I can soft reset for it.

 

[Mikuru]

shiny munchlax?
(25 chars)

 

[Ashori]

Since my cousin has deleted my game... -_-


I started off with a female Chimchar and I have just received my second badge.My Chimchar has evolved too.

 

[Blaziken626]

Even though this happened a long time ago, I want to say it. I beat the Elite Four, and by the time it was over, the highest level of my Pokemon was in the 50s! I still can't believe I did it! :)

Now, more recently, I've evolved all my 7 Eevees into the 7 different evolutions. Then I did some more happiness evolutions with Riolu and Chansey which were successful. But before that, I caught the legendaries Cresselia, Giratina, and Regigigas.

Most recently, I was multi- tasking. I was running around, trying to evolve Golbat with happiness (That is the WORST kind of evolution there is, I swear!), get my Burmy egg to hatch (turned out not to be a male, unfortunately), and getting my Cranidos, Cherubi, and Burmy to level up in Day Care. I also decided to hunt for Mesprit (whose HP was already down to a sliver of red). So, the first time I tried and encountered it, I used Golbat's Mean Look. But, eventually, it killed my Golbat, and I turned off, then on my game (I saved before I went into the grass). So I tried looking for it again. I found it again, used Mean Look, and tossed Dusk Balls like crazy. I had to stop sometimes to heal Golbat. Sometimes it wobbled 3 times, then popped out! (Seriously, does Game Freak WANT me to go crazy?) But, I eventually caught it! Too bad my Golbat doesn't even have one heart on the happiness checker.

So, that's it.

 

[Elusive]

Started on Diamond finally. Training for 2nd gym now.

 

[It's Just Fufu]

I'm still frickin' soft resetting for a shiny Drifloon on Diamond. When am I going to get it? *sigh* Wish me luck here, guys.

I just purchased my own Pearl, so as soon as I get an ID with three repeating numbers (or just give up on doing that), I'll begin soft resetting for a shiny Turtwig or Piplup. Any suggestions, guys?

If you are asking which one to choose, Turtwig or Piplup, I would choose to go after a shiny Piplup first.

[Virtual Headache]

I'm working on my Sinnoh dex. I've caught 140 Sinnoh dex Pokémon so far (I also work on the national dexa little but I want to finish the Sinnoh dex first).

There is a happiness checker feature on your Pokétch and you can get a Ditto without trading once you've recevied the Pokéradar.

Dramatic Duel with Pokemon League Champion Cynthia

It was a duel between the underdog(me) and the Pokemon League Champion Cynthia.

My team was:                          The Champion's team:
Lvl 61 Camerupt                       Lvl 61 Spiritomb
Lvl 56 Spiritomb                       Lvl 60 Gastrodon
Lvl 56 Luxray                           Lvl 63 Milotic
Lvl 55 Mesprit                           Lvl 66 Garchomp
Lvl 56 Staraptor                        Lvl 63 Lucario
Lvl 55 Dialga                            Lvl 60 Roserade

As you can see, my team was severely underleveled compared to the champion.

The duel started with me bringing out Camerupt and Cynthia bringing out Spiritomb. Spiritomb did embargo, preventing my most powerful pokemon from using items. Since I knew Spiritomb had no weaknesses, I attacked it with my most powerful move, Earthquake. It brought it down to about 60% hp. Spiritomb then used Dark Pulse, bringing my Camerupt's HP to 25% I had spiritomb do earthquake again, bringing Spiritomb's HP to 30%. The bastard trainer then used Full Restore hampering my efforts. I did another earthquake, running out of PP for earthquake, bringing the enemy to 30% with a critical hit. I switched camerupt out and brung out my spiritomb to finish it off with Dark Pulse.

When the enemy Spiritomb died, I switched out my Spiritomb for Mesprit while the opponent brung out Roserade. Being of higher level and speed, Roserade opened with a surprising Shadow ball, bringing my Mesprit down to 25% HP. I used a Max Potion on Mesprit, and then the enemy used Energy Ball, bringing my Mesprit down to 45%. I then switched mesprit for
my Staraptor, in which Roserade foolishly used Shadow Ball, making no effect. I finished off Roserade with Fly.

I switched Roserade for Luxray to Cynthia's Milotic. Milotic, although higher
in level, was a pushover. Luxray easily OHKOed it via Thunder Fang with STAB and Magnet item attached.

Then I switched Luxray for Staraptor to Cynthia's Gastrodon. I took it out with two hits by Fly. However, Staraptor took some heavy damage from Stone Edge.

Now the real battle begins.

Cynthia brought out Garchomp. Garchomp was superior in speed and power and took my Staraptor down with STAB Dragon Rush. I brought out Dialga. Dialga took a heavy hit by Earthquake from Garchomp, lowering HP down to 25%. I was out of healing items so Dialga was doomed. I had Dialga do Roar of Time, expecting Garchomp to knock my Dialga out and proceed to sweep my team. Garchomp used Giga Impact to attempt to finish off my Dialga. However, unexpectedly, Giga Impact missed! My Dialga proceeded to OHKO Garchomp, which was 11 levels higher than my Dialga. Roar of Time did STAB critical hit and knocked out Garchomp.

One more pokemon, I thought, and victory was imminent. However, it was
far from over. Cynthia brought out Lucario. Lucario proceeded to KO all my pokemon, who were severely weakened in battle, except for my close-to-dying Camerupt. I couldn't use any items on Camerupt. With almost all hope lost, I had only one Max Revive. I didn't hestitate to revive my Spiritomb, which was my only hope for survival and victory. Lucario KOed my Camerupt.

Now the final battle had truly begun. Both Cynthia and I had one pokemon
left. It was the battle between Lucario and my Spiritomb. I had no more healing items or revives to get me out of this tight situation. Lucario opened with an earthquake, bringing my Spiritomb down to 11 HP. I put all my hope into Spiritomb's Hypnosis, which has a meager 70% accuracy. Sweat dripped down my chest and arm. All the effort and work came down
to this move. By sheer luck, Hypnosis connected, to my delight! I then proceeded to finish it off with Nasty Plot + Dream Eater and become the Pokemon Champion.

This was truly an edge-of-your-seat battle for me. The MVP of this match was Spiritomb, who saved my doomed a$$. The opponent had pokemon that were 6-11 levels higher than mine. But with determination and faith, I pulled through and defeated Cynthia.

 

[It's Just Fufu]

I'm basically doing the same thing as I 've been doing the past couple of days. Soft resetting for shinies. I want to shiny hunt for other things though, and I want to play through Diamond a bit more, too, so on June 2nd, I'm going to temporarily stop soft resetting for Drifloon to train up three Pokemon, get a Modest and a Quiet Abra with Synchronize, and then I will soft reset for a shiny Cranidos until the next Friday, which is when I will begin soft resetting for Drifloon again. Wish me luck.

 

[Forci Stikane]

Got the National Dex in Pearl a few days ago...before beating the 8th Gym. And Pal Park was unlocked, confirming that you don't need to beat the E4 first.

Well, it IS exceptional to get it before or after the Elite 4, but what matters is how you're gonna get your Pal Park Pokemon, and National Dex Pokemon. Besides, right now, I just have to get to the elite 4 to complete my National Dex!

And I have a Remoraid and a Mantyke, but how do I get a Mantine with them?

 

[spike6958]

ahh this game is crazy last night i was fighting UXIE got it's health down to almost nothing and put it to sleep and kept throwing dusk balls and ultraballs at it but it kept waking up and it owned my intire party this morning i desided to try again used 1 ultraball and caught it without doing a single attack

I'm not sure I understand what you're saying in the beginning there...Pal Park was already unlocked, allowing transfers before the E4, and Poke Radar came with it, so National Dex Pokemon are accessible as well (the current status on my Pearl is 7 badges with 236 Pokedex).

And just level up the Mantyke with Remoraid in your party.

Anyway, my progress is just so-so. I'm kind of taking a break from the story to fill my Pokedexes (I want to have a complete-as-possible Pokedex before taking down Volkner in my Pearl).

 

[Legendary Squirtle]

Nothing much, just finsh training my pokemon to lvl 40 before beating the Steel Gym Leader, (I like to train when my double battle partner heals my pokemon), I then headed out to Snowpont City so I can show that Ice gym who is boss.

Also in Pearl (I have both) I decided to start a Flying Team and go thjrough the game with that, I'm just at Vally Windworks though

 

[SilverDragon]

Beated the game last week and after i got nat dex, i went to the Sunnyshore city place and encountered a shiny Chatot.
