SUON PLAYS BINGO
A SIGNATURE MOVE CHALLENGE ON PLATINUM
BINGO! challenges completed: 3/20
UPDATE #1
Since I'm pretty unfamiliar with the games from Gen4 and onward, I start of with doing
some research. And after going through the Pokedex, Pokemon locations and movepools, I have made my decision...
Normally I let faith decide my starter, but this time I choose for myself. I pick
WUGUI the Turtwig (wugui is Chinese for
turtle).
Now, I'm going to assume that the rules about The Move commence when the first POKEMON actually acquires this move, social just start the game as I normally would.
On route 202 I catch
SHANDIAN the Shinx (shandian is Chinese for
lighting).
In the Ravaged Path I catch
BIANFU the Zubat (bianfu is Chinese for
bat).
Figured out the move yet? Indeed, it's
Bite...
I train my pocket monsters. BIANFU is the first to learn Bite at level 13, and therefore will be placed as first of the team until the others learn Bite as well.
It's not too hard. I start every battle with Bite, which causes flinching sometimes. Then I can swap or keep on fighting, as I desire. The first Gym, Roark, is defeated very easy like this. After a Bite from BIANFU, WUGUI finishes it off with 3 Razor Leaves. Also the second (Gardenia) and, especially, the third badge (Fantina) were easy peasy.
In Hearthome I get an Eevee as a present. I name him
YANHUA (yanhua is Chinese for
evolution). At level 29, he should learn Bite too. Until then, I don't think I can use it (correct me if I'm wrong), so I wrap the Exp. Share around his neck.
Talking about evolution:
- WUNGUI evolved in Grotle
- SHANDIAN evolved in Luxio
- BIANFU evolved in Golbat and, being the happy bat he is, in Crobat
