^ Very good, although I notice a distinct lack of Ground attacks, which makes you vulnerable to Electric Pok̮̩̉̉mon since that's their only weakness.

 

 

 

Can someone explain to me why everyone chooses to keep Pikachu as Pikachu and not evolve it into its undoubtedly more powerful form? Is it just 'coz it's cute?

No, not because it's cute, for one, I actually bred a pichu a couple of minutes ago, and I don't plan on evolving it, since I already have a riachu. This current pichu has volt tackle now \' . Because of me already having a pikachu, I don't want to evolve it (That...and I can't find anymore thunderstones, gonna go underground tonight). Anyway, pikachu...It's quick, and powerful like raichu, just not AS powerful. And it's always nice to stay with the pre-evo's imo, don't know why, but I always liked pikachu for...Pikachu really. :D

 

 

 

BTW, I tend not to worry about ground types often at all, they have all fallen to my feet every battle, so ya. :wink:

 

 

 

EDIT! Completely forgot the whole reason! EDIT!: Just remembered the real reason... :oops: Ahem. People tend not to evolve their pikachu because of the light ball. Only allowed to be held by a pikachu, it doubles his special attack, even higher than raichu's! This is why when you breed a pikachu holding this item, the special attack volt tackle goes with it. And this is also why trainers tend not to evolve them (Me included). Hope this clears things up! ::'

AHH... thanks for clearing that up. :wink:

 

 

 

I always wondered what everyone's obsession with Pikachu was... :-k

The obsession to pikachu actually came since gold and silver, when the light ball became. :D I have an awesome pichu, have a lot of training to do before he's pikachu (It's poffin time! Since they only evolve into pikachu through happiness).

 

 

 

Oh, and you welcome for the help.

  • 2 weeks later...

Just to tell you, don't use volt tackle until pichu is pikachu and is very strong. You get hit with recoil damage, very critically, unless he's strong.

 

 

 

Reset my game the other day. Within a couple of days, I have a new party.

 

 

 

Lets see...

 

 

 

Infernape, level 86

 

Blaziken, level 79

 

Pikachu w/ volt tackle, level 75

 

Vaporeon, level 75

 

Metagross, level 75

 

Lucario, level 75

 

 

 

All shiny. :D None of them are trades, either...Unless you count Blaziken, whom I bred from a trade... :-w

 

 

 

Worst situation for me is I have no flyer, so I travel the land on bike -.- ...Might have to let go of my Pikachu... :cry: :cry: :cry:

Nice party :thumbsup:

 

One more question, does both pikachus have to hold a light ball?

Thank you, after being in legendaries cluches, it feels good to see you can own them with none legends.

 

 

 

And no, only one has to hold it. Just remember the recoil damage...It's strong, around 120 power, 90-95 accuracy, but wait till it's level...40ish for use, it may do 1/3 damage, but it's powerful. Hope this helps! ::'

 

 

 

Oh, also buy protiens and stuff to raise his defense or attack or whatever at the depo store, this helps.
