  • Damp is useful in doubles, because explosion gets a pretty fair amount of use by a number of things. It'd be cool to switch it in when you know someone's gonna use it and blow their move heheh.


    Myself right now, I'm breeding minun. Which is taking a lot longer than I thought it would. I have the nature, not going for any egg moves, and the mother has 5 IV's and the father 6. But it keeps giving me 4 iv kids, and the occasional 5 iv - but missing a crucial stat.

  • It really prevents use of self-destruction moves, making it even more useless for something that actually learns the move. However:


    So Drifloon can have Aftermath on Route 8. So can Skuntank elsewhere. And, in online battles, you might find Voltorb/Electrode/Trubbish/Garbodor with it as hidden abilities. If any of these Pokémon faint, it has no effect on Mudkip and its evolutions. In other words, it can be useful if trying to Poké Radar a Shiny Drifloom.

    I didn't know about it's secondary usefulness.. I LEARNED SOMETHING TODAY! lol

  • After going back to Johto to get some apricorn pokemon, i think i am officially giving up on lotad for now. Now I'm going o work on breeding a shiny Gastly. I have a heavy ball female and a Timid male with an everstone in the day care now. Then I will use a misdreavus to give it some egg moves. Then i will use my 6iv ditto as the other parent after that. I hope I have better luck with this one.

    The Spritzee mission was a success (5IV though). Saw a random request for a Heracross and remember it from my Safari. Received a Pelipper while Wonder Trading my rejects. The latter is also in the request.

    Now I just need a Lanturn from the water if I don't have one in my Bank already. Then I have the whole thing covered.

    While breeding Wingull, I happened to look at the move lists for Wingull and Pelipper. There are a lot of differences after the evolution at Lv.25; Roost is shared, but after that, it's completely different. Wingull also has a large quantity of available Egg Moves, making it a good breeding candidate as well. I may experiment with some breeding now that I have a quintet of 5IV Wingull in my possession.

    This will be later. For now, I want 5IV Moxie Heracross.

    EDIT: Got the Heracross on the first try, on two out of fourteen Eggs. Put a randomly caught Chinchou (found on the first try at Shalour City!) into the Daycare. The seventh Egg had 4IVs with the help of the Ditto. Rebreeding that one and will eventually have a few 5IVs, and a Lanturn for my Pokédex. A pretty good one, too!

  • I've been breeding multiples of various Pokemon to build a living 'dex, but I'm thinking I may start breeding some 5IV Eevee's after trading for a HA one yesterday.

  • Well I finally bred a suitable female gastly. 5 iv timid with perish song, grudge, hypnosis, and lick in a heavy ball holding the everstone. The judge says that the attack is terrible! That's really awesome. I'm hoping for the same in my shiny:)

    She's mating quite well with my 6iv japanese ditto holding the destiny knot.

    I didn't update!

    I bred five new babies for a Get-Together challenge. I completely decimated the challenge in roughly 34 hours or so (the sixth came from the Friend Safari).

    And they now serve as possible parents since all have at least one 31 IV. Hopefully 2-3.

    Currently trying to get an Impish Gligar with specific IVs. So far, I have everything around it including a 6IV (which is not going anywhere), but I just realized I'm trying to get a NEW Impish Surskit; I should just use a male Impish Gligar. Duuuh...

    Currently trying to steal Deagon Scales from various Horsea. Using Compound Eyes, and 21 uses of Thief so far. Still only got two. Using one on a good candidate. Clauncher will not go away and I get five between Horsea.

    EDIT: Just got the third. One Thief left. Don't expect a fourth.

    EDIT: Nevermind, my lack of sleep read Heart scale, not Dragon scale -.-

  • I said that it'd be easier to get heart scales off Luvdisc on route 8. Then I re-read your post :P

    Haha, I may do that too. But I'm not going to capture and trade every single Luvdisc. I have more...Thiefing methods. :)

    Currently breeding for a shiny Meditite knowing Fake out, Bullet Punch, Psycho-Cut, and Drain Punch. First round, female Meditite and male Italian Chimchar, 600 eggs, no luck; second round, with French Ditto, 30 eggs so far, no shiny. I'm going to stay here until that red Meditite appears : D
