The "item" maneuver

[GlitchCity]

erm Ive been finding myself doing this a lot lately. I am underleveled when Im fighting the boss (ie champions, after game trainers [red]) You get annoyed by their pokemon kicking the crap out of you, soooooooooo you use a bunch of items to wear the foe's PP down

for one it works, and I do this in almost every game e.o

have you ever done this?

I am a Potion Maniac .

I always make sure I have at least 40 Hyper Potions / Super otions when battling E4/Red/Gym Leader . I can't suffer LOSING MONEY !!!! >___<

 

[Sydian]

Yes. :| Battling Red, I was 30 levels under so I kinda of had to. I was down to my last Revives and Max Revives.

 

[Amore]

Yes.On my first playthrough of every game.

I don't now though, so i've only beat Plat E4 once

I find that this happens every time I face the boss of the game (Evice, E4, etc). For some reason, I always abuse my items. If I win, it's by some miracle. Then, I don't go back until I've leveled up substantially.

This didn't happen in Platinum, though, since I traded over my team from Diamond prior to my E4 challenge :D

I was on Cynthia's last Pokemon in Diamond Version, and I was using only Empoleon to get through the E4. I had no Drill Pecks left, just a few Surfs and Ice Beams (was totally out of Flash Cannon). So, I tried to get Milotic to use Struggle by tossing Pokeballs. It took a half-hour, but it doesn't use Pokeballs in Diamond, so I was good.

I ended up winning.

Actually I have been doing that recently but in a different way. When trying to catch legendaries I keep on using ultra balls and potions to make my pokemon not faint so that the legendary Im trying to catch runs out of PP for attacking moves and starts using useless moves like mist and Thunder Wave.

That's how I manage to defeat the Pokemon League in the first time in each game. XD
