Well, this is for the Pokemon lovers on Tip.It. Type down the stuff you've done lately on any Pokemon game, online or handheld, etc. Set it out with the Hide tab if it exceeds over 10 lines, please.

 

I may as well start it off.

 

 

 

Roughly 65:00 hours Pokemon Pearl played - I caught a Girantina. I haven't done anything interesting since then, but now I have; Heatran, Uxie, Azelf, Palkia, and Girantina =)

122+ hours on pokemon diamond trying to collect the new pokemon like glaveon, leafeon and mognezome

I've strangely developed an affinity for Berry growing ATM... goodness knows why. :|

If you don't know how to get the Glaceon and Leafeon:

 

 

 

-Glaceon. Go to Route 217 (South) Go north west to the 'Icy Rock' with the Eevee in your team, then level Eevee up after touching the 'Icy Rock'.

 

-Leafeon. Go to Eterna Forest (Mid-West) go to the 'Mossy Rock' with the Eevee in your team, then level Eevee up after touching the 'Mossy Rock'.

 

(You have to level them up in the right area.)

Treeko is hard to train mate. I started with it 2 times, and I got one to level 26 Grovyle, abandoned it, and the other to 53 Sceptile, didn't use it in the Elite 4 though.

really? so i should use mudkip then? because i have a newfound hatred for fire/fighting types

[Necromagus]

Still training for Elite 4 in Diamond, but some of my pok̮̩̉̉mon (mainly Rapidash and Weavile) are really hard to train due to their type...

you can solo the elite four with a level 65 empoleon :)

A really good Pokemon for the Elite 4 is a Psychic Type. Preferably Alakazam.

 

 

 

Oreburgh city. Catch a Machop, and train it to level 15, go to a house behind the Gym, and trade the Machop for Abra. Train it one level and it will evolve. Then when Kadabra gets to level 30, trade it to a friend, get it back, and fight the Black Belt that runs left to right west of Celestic town heaps of times. I got my Alakazam from level 30 - 42 in about 2 1/2 hours =)

empoleons better teach empoleon ice beam, drill peck, hydro pump, and brine if you havent already beaten them. if you have beaten them replace brine with hydro cannon

[TotalTalker]

Im not sure how many hours Ive done on it. Ive caught 3 pokemon (although I cant remember their names) and I chose Piplup at the start, who has evolved into Prinplup. I think that my strongest pokemon is about level 22, Prinplup is about level 20, then about level 14, then about level 10.

The problem is, not everyone started of with Piplup. :

GTS silly.

 

 

 

i started with piplup because fire for your starter is never really good against gyms

[RayOxide]

Well, anyway, I have a guide on catching Girantina...

 

 

 

Carry: Drifloon / Drifblim, a strong pokemon, a normal + flying / just normal type pokemon (or dark). (And more)

 

 

 

Strong pokemon out first, hit it's hp low, then switch to Drifloon / Drifblim. Slash and earth power don't hit it, the move that does (Shadow force) takes 2 turns, so you can switch to the normal + flying / just normal type pokemon (Or dark) switch back to Drifloon / Drifblim, Shadow force has 5pp so, you'll eventually not even need another pokemon. \

[Riku3220]

all this complicated stuff i jus used a quick ball didnt work. used empoleon to hit giratina to red then i repeatedly used dusk balls until it was caught

[RayOxide]

Mine's the money safe way :wink: I still have a master ball. Should I use it on Mesprit or Cresselia, or wait for Arceus to come out? :)

[Riku3220]

for mesprite and cresselia just use a golbat that knows mean look thats holding the quick claw then weaken it then trows dusk balls or timer balls

I did, actually. My team:

 

 

 

Empoleon (Surf, Brine, Blizard, Earthquake)

 

Weavile (Ice Beam, Shadow Claw, Dark Pulse, Nasty Plot)

 

Rapidash (Agility, Poison Jab, Flamethrower, Fire Blast)

 

Luxray (Agility, Thunder, Charge, Discharge)

 

Drifblim (Thunderbolt, Shadow Ball, Thunder Wave, Double Team)

 

Drapion (Toxic, Toxic [bleep]es, Earthquake, Sludge Bomb)

 

 

 

I know the team would suck if I took it online, but this is strictly for the game itself. Once I get wifi and the national dex I'll catch/breed myself a proper team.

[TotalTalker]

Can someone give me some tips on building a good party please?

 

 

 

I mean isnt it a bit of a waste of time getting a pokemon up to a high level, and then find out that you arent going to use that pokemon?

Eh, I farmed master balls from ruby and sapphire. Good 'ol Linoon. :P

 

 

 

The last thing I just did...Kicked my friends [wagon], who is obsessed with legendaries. Basically all he uses. Unfortunatly, upon loss, he flipped out and cried, being a poor sport. My team that anhillated him:

 

 

 

Garchomp (Draco meteor, Flamethrower, Outrage, Stone edge)

 

 

 

Luxray (Crunch, Thunder, Fire fang, Ice fang)

 

 

 

Metagross (Explosion, Meteor Mash, Psychic, Zen Headbutt)

 

 

 

Lucario (Aura Sphere, Close Combat, Force Palm, Me first)

 

 

 

Tyranitar (Avalanche, Earthquake, Surf , Stone edge)

 

 

 

Milotic (Of course) (Hypnosis, Ice beam, Recover, Surf)

 

 

 

Caught every available legendary, including Regigigas, Giratina, and also have traded for Japanese legendaries (The one's unavailable in the US and are in Japan [i.E., Shaymin]). Thus, Black trainer card. I don't nessecarily know if they are hacked--but hey, black trainer card. :P \ :P This was when I had wifi, however.

 

 

 

My most recent achievement was owning my friend, he's challenged me again. Time to own.

 

 

 

I like my new computer, however, wifi doesn't support Mac's (So I've been told) If this is false, tell me please.

It is! I've had plenty of Pokemon come and go in my party. However, once you find your ideal party, then it's all the sweeter.

 

 

 

I've a couple of tips.

 

 

 

My first one would be to get pokemon that are a type that can learn multiple attacks. Meaning, for example, Garchomp. He's a dragon/ground, very strong. He can learn flamethrower, so he's unaffected by Water.

 

 

 

Or luxray. This bad boy can learn Fire fang and Ice fang, despite him being electric. Even Rampardos can learn ice.

 

 

 

But those are examples taken directly from my party. There are plenty of pokemon like them, yet...Well anyway. My next tip would be EV training. When you battle a pokemon, you get EV's, which your pokemon gain for a certain stat. I can't tell you which pokemon to attack for EV's, so Go here and look for EV training guide.

 

 

 

Fighting. Figure out your own. Let's say your opponent had two pokemon left, you had rampardos. His current was luxray, he has an onyx who knows earthquake, but he doesn't think it'll KO him immediatly. He attacks, but you use Avalanche. You purposly went second for avalanch, so luxray dies. He now knows he's screwed, let's say the Luxray didn't weaken him far enough. He tries earthquake, nope, you use Avalanche, he dies.

 

 

 

This is multityping, he can learn avalanche dispite his rockness.

 

 

 

Now figure out your own strategy! You'll fin it eventually, trust me. It takes time. That, and research.

i think it would at least take 100 hours for some one to get 100% :?

It took me 60 hours to get to 100%. Getting the black trainer card was a surprise, I though you had to get all contests done, I used my Japanese Arceus to get through the smart rank, when I was bored and wanted to clean my badges. Open the card menu and WHAM! black trainer card. Then I beat all of the contests to celebrate and got 100% complete. \ Now I have 100 hrs. And still climbing, all pokemon in party lv 100 and shiny. Best EV's. Now I need wifi again, but no one is telling me if it's compatible with mac!

[Necromagus]

Well, beat the league with my entire party (on the last page) at lvl ~55. The only change I made was Dialga for Drifblim. It ended up being the right move. I went up against Cynthia's lvl 66 Garchomp, and if Dialga's Roar in Time didn't beat it in one hit it'd've wiped my entire team.
