HeartGold/SoulSilver Legend cards o.o

[Jaziek]

wow, pokemon cards sure are a lot flashier than I remember.

[Zaaps1]

It's really only those two.

[Jaziek]

aww shame. I was ready to whack out my old decks and head on down to the convention centre.

[Lemeja]

[garden tool]-oh needs more rainbow.

[Jaziek]

BAHAHA the filter is amazing.

[RayOxide]

[garden tool]-oh?

 

Rofl fail. :blink:

[sohkmj1]

Not arranged in order of party

 

Lapras Lv. 80 Ability - Water Absorb

Ice Beam

Psychic

Surf

Hydro Pump

 

Arcanine Lv. 43 (Gonna be 80 when I'm done with him) Ability - Intimidate

Bite

Roar

Flamethrower

Iron Tail

(Gimme some help with the moves here)

 

Metagross Lv. 85 Ability - Clear Body (Figured RocK Head was useless later)

Psychic

Earthquake

Meteor Mash

Shadow Ball (temptations...)

 

Heracross Lv. 75 Ability - Guts (My pride and joy. It has tons of attack EVs, and its nature is Naughty. Huzzah!)

Brick Break

Megahorn

Reversal

Swords Dance

 

Zapdos Lv. 83 Ability - Pressure

Thunder

Thunderbolt

Fly

Drill Peck

 

Tyranitar Lv. 80 Ability - Sand Stream (I have the feeling I didn't raise this one well...)

Crunch

Hyper Beam (Gonna replace this)

Earthquake

Rock Slide

[Zaaps1]

Give Tyranitar an elemental punch, Fire or Ice preferably. Maybe take out Crunch too since it's special attack, which Tyranitar isn't good at.

 

Fly is a terrible move. It lets your opponent get a free switch/set-up. I would also take out one of the 2 electric moves Zapdos has. No need for two. Give it Hidden Power Grass, if possible, and maybe a fire-type attack for Steels. Does Heat Wave exist?

 

Metagross also isn't a good special attacker. Get out Psychic and Shadow Ball. Give him Explosion, for beginners, then perhaps an elemental punch. What TMs do you have access to?

 

Lapras should get a recovery move. Maybe Rest, but then you'd need to give it Sleep Talk to be effective.

 

I recommend changing Arcanine with a Forretress if you can get your hands on one. Your team lacks a good wall. Plus, Spikes in insanely useful and Forretress is one of the best. Alternatively, you could use Skarmory, but again, only if you can get one.

 

If you keep Arcanine, try to give it Extremespeed. Maybe Howl also to boost its Attack. I recommend: Bite/Crunch, Howl, Xspeed, Flamethrower. Roar has negative priority, meaning your opponent will attack before you, and with Arcanine's defense stats you won't be taking many hits. Plus Roar is really only good if you have Spikes, which would mean taking out Arcanine anyway sine you don't really want to take out any of the others.

 

If you want to be cheap, throw in Calm Mind Mewtwo if you have it.

I just pulled out Diamond (after reading this thread :rolleyes: ) for the first time since like a month after it came out. I have no idea how the game worked, I can't really remember much about anything about pokemon. I think I might start over because I am lost at what to do and starting over would kinda reteach me how to play and all the moves and stuff. I don't know if I have any pokemon that would be bad if I erased and restarted it. Here is a list of the ones that I thought were important. If I started over and erased everything, would I regret erasing any of these? Are they hard to get at all? Thanks

Wasn't Heatran an event Pokemon? Not entirely sure.

[Blake]

No idea, that's why I'm asking :D

[Blake]

Someone please answer, I can't really play until someone does :(

Phione. Regis. Latias/os, kyogre, rayquaza, deoxys, groudon and the starters since you cant get any of those back. If you have wi-fi you can honestly get any of those back pretty easily though.

[Jaziek]

is there any news of a definitive release date for HG and SS yet? I'm actually feeling really hyped for this.

[Blake]

It is spring 2010, that's what it says on the website.

 

@lemeja124: I do have Wifi, how do I get them back through there? I have every other game before these too (fire-red etc), except Pearl. I also have colosseum for GC. Will I have to play through those again, because I don't really want to. But all of the other ones besides the ones you listed are easy to get back though? And thanks for the reply :^_^: What about Raikou, the birds like moltres, and mewtoo?

[Big_Stingman]

I don't know if it has been posted, but there is a Pokemon MMO. It's pretty fun too, and has some nice graphics (well I think it does).

 

Check it out at:

http://www.pokemonworldonline.net/

 

And they try to use torrents to share the client, which makes sense and is how all games should be downloaded. :P Saves money for the producers of the game as they don't have to use all of their own bandwidth. If you are afraid of torrents they have a mediafire mirror though.

 

It's pretty fun! :thumbsup:

[RayOxide]

Dont rely on WiFi if people you know on forums, games and real life dont have the pokemon/dont play.

People have rediculous offers like a level 1 squirtle for a level 90 groudon

I recommend changing Arcanine with a Forretress if you can get your hands on one. Your team lacks a good wall. Plus, Spikes in insanely useful and Forretress is one of the best. Alternatively, you could use Skarmory, but again, only if you can get one.

Yeah... About that. As much as I love elemental punches (GSC Kadabra FTW), I can't get any of them as a TM or move tutored. Curse you Game Freak.

As for TMs:

All HM moves

TM 01 Focus Punch x 1

TM 03 Water Pulse x 1

TM 04 Calm Mind x 1

TM 05 Roar x 1

TM 06 Toxic x 1

TM 09 Bullet Seed x 1

TM 11 Sunny Day x 1

TM 12 Taunt x 1

TM 14 Blizzard x 1

TM 16 Light Screen x 1

TM 17 Protect x 1

TM 19 Giga Drain x 1

TM 20 Safeguard x 1

TM 21 Frustration x 1

TM 22 Solarbeam x 1

TM 27 Return x 1

TM 32 Double Team x 1

TM 33 Reflect x 1

TM 34 Shock Wave x 1

TM 36 Sludge Bomb x 1

TM 37 Sandstorm

TM 38 Fire Blast x 1

TM 39 Rock Tomb x 1

TM 41 Torment x 1

TM 42 Facade x 1

TM 43 Secret Power x 1

TM 44 Rest x 1

TM 45 Attract x 1

TM 47 Steel Wing x 1

TM 48 Skill Swap x 1

TM 49 Snatch x 1

TM 50 Overheat x 1

 

So Skarmory is a better wall than Forretress? Better get breeding.

Edit: What's a good nature for Skarmory?

Hey Zaaps why did you say Crunch is Special and then say Elemental Punches are physical?

Crunch is physical.

 

IF this isnt the 4th gen then both are Special

Edit: What's a good nature for Skarmory?

 

What Move Tutors are open?

 

Which Legendaries can you get? Suicune, [garden tool]-Oh, Lugia, and Mewtwo are other strong Pokemon.

 

Skarmory is generally better over Forretress. Only advantage I can see with Forretress is Explosion and Rapid Spin, but Skarmory's better stats, movepool, and recovery make up for that.

 

Skarmory is also strong paired with Blissy, esp. if said Blissy knows Wish.

 

EDIT: Yeah, my bad, Ray

[Blake]

So, from my previous post... Should I restart or not?

[Zaaps1]

I would say not to.

 

Tbh they need to give us multiple files on the same game, if at all possible.

[Skull]

Someone else voted for Hoen :lol:

 

Anyways, I agree that multiple files per game would be nice, but I just use my emulator if I want to play another file.

[sohkmj1]

The only legendary I will use is Zapdos. Although, I do have the following:

Articuno

Moltres

Mewtwo

Suicune

 

Move tutors

Body Slam

Counter

Double Edge

Dream Eater

Explosion

Mega Kick

Mega Punch - USED

Metronome

Mimic

Rock Slide

Seismic Toss

Softboiled

Subsitute

Swords Dance - USED

Thunder Wave
