  1. Thats not to bad. I'm at 37 now. 7 More levels and I get it.
  2. I see, that explains a lot. Does Serperior learn Giga Drain? Or do I have to get a TM for it? And I knew that there was still a lot different between Competitive battling, and the game. The main one being, as you said, that the game is an AI. My Zebstrika fought a wild Zebstrika before. The wild one kept trying to use Electric type moves, and kept boosting my speed. A player would never do that.
  3. Ah, I see. Defense is always good to have. I never really planned on getting into competitive battling, but this will give me a slight view into it. What would you say is better, Mega Drain, or Leech Seed? Mega Drain sometimes doesn't hit that hard, but its instant. Leech Seed is an "End of every turn" move, which means that it could take a while to replenish any of your HP.
  4. I'm definitely going to have to give that a shot. Maybe it'll open a whole new style to me. Hopefully it goes well! If Coil is used during Major Battles, is Growth for regular battles?
  5. Actually, now that I think about it, that did start when I was little. I hated battling trainers, so I skipped all I could, and I guess it just stuck with me. Serperior is definitely a feminine pokemon, even if it is a male. x.x Maybe thats why I like the pig pokemon best. Not only is it fire, but the final evolution is very beastly. I...Uh...Kinda...Sorta...Maybe...skipped Coil and Growth. *Hides under rock* I've never been the type to use moves like that. Not in any game. I've played many, many RPG's before, along with all types of other games. I've always favored the "Run and gun" style. I've always preferred to go on the attack, over trying to raise defense and such. Perhaps its time to try something new. Even if its just with Serperior. I can always relearn the moves I like. Keep searching, you'll find one! Ah, ok. I wasn't sure what was going on. I couldn't understand why, two pokemon the same level, gave such different EXP.
  6. I probably shouldn't. Thats just been my thing since Pokemon Blue in the beginning. It always worked for me, even if I avoid all the trainers, I still manage to be the right levels for gyms, and I still reach the pokemon league with level 70 pokemon. Still, I suppose I shouldn't be doing that. I actually started battling trainers the other night. Not to easy, but it worked good. You have a female Serperior? I hate you. ._. I've noticed that Serperior's move set is sorta....lacking. Right now he has Leaf Blade, Mega Drain, Leech Seed, and Tackle. Not many one hit wonder moves. I guess thats part of the challenge though. And thank you. So far I haven't played with it at all. I got 36, evolved, and then began working on other pokemon. And yeah, I mean the Sigilyph's. When I was 20-ish they were annoying as hell. It seemed like every other pokemon I ran into was one of them. I went there last night though, and it wasn't to bad. Not much exp from wild encounters, but battles worked out well. I'm back near the Celestial Tower though, battling pokemon and trainers. That reminds me, I have a question. How does Exp work exactly? I noticed that if I beat a level 29 Zebstrika I get over 1K exp. But if I beat a level 29 Watchhog, I get like, 430 exp. Is the amount of exp you get predetermined? Or does it depend on the length of the battle.
  7. I have no problem being a few levels underleveled. I enjoy the challenge. But when it gets to the point where the opponent has pokemon that, although only, say, 4 levels above me, are one shoting me because of strong moves, then I need to train some. I run from 9 out of 10 wild encounters, and try to avoid every trainer possible. And even doing that, I still manage to level. (Obviously, I've been doing that, and still wound up with high 20, low 30 pokemon) I finally got my Serperior. *rock sign and head bang* I probably should have went with the fire type though...I say that because I've always picked fire types before, and I was unbeatable with them. For Gen 1 it was Charizard. Gen 2 was Typhlosion. Gen 3 it was Blaziken.After that, they screwed me over with a retarded flame monkey thing, so I had to go water/earth. The only reason I picked Serperior this time, is because I love snakes, and I love the look of it. For me to beat the crap out of things though, I probably would have went with the pig. Oh, and earlier you asked if I trained at all t the Desert Resort. I apologize for not answering you, it slipped my mind. I did not. I went there, explored a little, ran into a crap load of psychic type's that almost one shotted me, got annoyed, and left. I don't recall the level of the pokemon there, mid 20's I believe. But now my party is all 30's. With one 36 Serperior. Where is there some dark grass by the Celestial Tower? (Don't know the name of the town.) I'm looking to train more then one pokemon at a time, if at all possible.
  8. For some people it is, and for other's, not so much. XP
  9. Training one/two pokemon at a time has always been my 'fault' sort to speak. I started playing with pokemon Red. Ever since the beginning, I would find a pokemon I liked, that worked well, and stick with it for the entire game, working with basically just that pokemon. (I used it so much that it out leveled everything I fought. So to me it was like, "If I can kill everything with just this, why change pokemon?") But now and again I would do that (With different games/play throughs) and have issues. I would run into a Gym Leader or something, that used pokemon that my main pokemon was weak against, and I couldn't beat it. All my other pokemon though, were 20 levels below the Gym Leaders, so they were no help. After a few times of this happening, I started rotating pokemon. Level one up five levels, change, rinse and repeat. Unfortunately that gives me your under leveling problem. I'll definitely try your advice though about the forest before Chargestone, and the Cold Storage area as well. What may be slowing me down is that I'm using an Exp Share to level my weaker pokemon without fighting them, which means that even during trainer battles, my main pokemon gets only a fraction of the Exp it would if I wasn't using the Exp. Share. I may stop doing that and concentrate on 2v2 battles in dark grass.
  10. Ah, I see. That explains why people were against the Candy leveling. I'm not to worried about that though, since I don't battle competitively. And as far as the game goes, the highest pokemon I encountered were the Elite Four's 70-ish pokemon. If you Candy your's to 100, even if your EV's aren't maxed, you're stil 30 levels above everything, if not more, so there's little worry about having something bad happen. For me, anyway. Right now I'm on Route 7. I just got here and was told to meet Skyla at the Celestial Tower. My strongest Pokemon is a level 32 Servine, and the weakest is a level 26 Darumaka. I've always had issues with leveling pokemon. Either I use just one all the time and get it to a super high level while the rest are very low. Or I alternate pokemon to try and level them all equally, but that usually winds up with some of them low levels, or all of them low levels. I tried to alternate them during this go through (My first) and look at what happened. I wound up with pokemon around level 26-ish, in a level 33 area.
  11. Ok, I have two questions. 1. Going from best to worst, how should you raise you're pokemon? Is leveling via battling the best, with leveling via Exp. Share the second best, and Rare Candy's being the worst? I remember reading that for Diamond, Rare Candy's was the worst way to level you're pokemon, does that still hold true? According to what was said, Rare Candy's caused a pokemon's stats to not go up as much as battling did. If that's still the case, then could you fix that by giving your pokemon a bunch of protein's and such? And 2. Whats the best way to level weaker pokemon? Like, high 20's, low 30's. I'm tired of riding around looking for trainers, or running around in grass and killing something my level to gain only 100 Exp from the battle. Is there somewhere I can do, a building or something, with a ton of trainers inside so I can battle one after another for good exp?
  12. I was running around the other day, and encountered my very first Deerling ever. Not only was it my first ever Deerling, it was shiny.
  13. It doesn't work. At least, not for everyone. With my version of AR, I kept getting the "Not a Firmware File" error. I think it was because I was trying to go from 1.52 to 1.71 without getting 1.60 in between. I couldn't find a download for 1.60 anywhere, sadly.
  14. I do not. I know for sure that I changed those 4 digits you listed to "Firm" and after that it updated just fine. I would think that if something was wrong with what I changed, I would get some kind of error. Either the "This is not a firmware file" error, or maybe the protocol error. Those seem to be the two most popular.
