Sounds like a pain... though, now I'm wondering if Dive Balls where in RSE. It'd be cool to get a Croconaw in a dive ball. x3
Dive Balls were available in RSE. What would make that SUUUUCCHHHH a pain would be that in Colloseum you only get one of each Pokemon that is available in the game. So, you would have to pick one of the other two Johto Starters in the begining so that Croconaw would be available after defeating Evice. You would need to trade over a Pokemon holding the dive ball, then use that when you battle the grunt with Croconaw.
I'll think about just how bad I feel about the ending of Colosseum after this play thru before I consider going at it a third time.
Those of you that are not aware:
In Colosseum there are no gyms. The evil team that is trying to take over the world is all you battle, and at the end of the story you face the equivalent of an elite four followed by a champion. But since you are playing an evil organization the Elite four style battles are done one after the other with no break to use heal items on your team. Same goes for the Champion battle which is the boss of team Cipher, Evice. All battles are double battles, and Evice has both a Slaking and a Slowking. Typically his SLowking and Slaking come out at the same time and the slowking uses SKill swap on the Slaking, which in turns brutally beats your team while you scramble to heal up.
They were. You could only get them in Mossdeep City.
Anyway, yeah, they (Johto starters in other balls) are pretty valuable, but nothing I want to go out of my way for. Doesn't help that you have to have those starters as female when you catch them. ;_;
I'm a fan of the game and had been doing a second play thru as a personal challenge to catch everything in a Premier ball. The first time around I used the MasterBall Glitch on almost every snag which makes the game much easier. I resetted to get the Croconaw to be female. I had put this on hold while working on my national dex in X/Y but not I'm going to TRY to spend some time every night on my progress in Colloseum just to be able to have these in X/Y.
Oh snap, I am definitely interested in that as well lol. (I'll swap one of my own nonstandard Ball female Johto starters for it in the future?)
Looks awesome though, I assume you had to painstakingly trade over one Premier Ball at a time >.< Or is that only for other Devon Corp Balls?
Premier balls are available in game, right from the begining at the outskirt stand. Just like in most other games you get them by buying 10 regular Pokeballs. Otherwise I would have had to faint the Croconaw and wait until after beating Team Cipher to catch it, as it is only after beating story mode that you can trade with RSE. It is only the other special balls that you would have to trade one by one. Although the others serve no in game reason, except maybe the timer ball, as especially some of the battles again Cipher Admins felt like they went forever. Repeat balls are worthless as you only get one of each Pokemon that is in game. But, if I wanted any of the other balls I could certainly trade them over after beating the story again. Seems more fun to catch everything in a Premier Ball. ALthough Croconaw in a Diveball would have been a nice one to have.
