    Hidden Power. Don't worry about it too much. But if you happen to get it (some guy in the casino prize building will tell you what type it is, in Platinum), it's a nice bonus.

    Electabuzz has higher base special attack than physical attack. So Psychic isn't a bad choice. Anyway, if you want to sweep the first 21 battles, Starmie is your best bet: Starmie w/ Wise Glasses Modest (+sp atk, - atk) 252 sp atk/252 speed/6 HP Natural Cure - Surf - Thunderbolt - Ice Beam - Grass Knot/Psychic/HP Fire It's all pretty self explanatory right there. Grass Knot is recommended as the 4th slot because it's Starmie's best way of dealing with Swampert and other Ground/Water types you'll encounter. Psychic is decent as a secondary STAB. HP Fire is really the only HP Starmie can use, specifically for Scizor. You can also take what is essentially this set and slap Choice Specs on there to make it even more powerful. The 4th slot now has the option of Trick, since the BT will never switch. It could get stuck on a set up move, or you can switch in something that resists or is immune to the attack. Breloom is actually a pretty good partner for Starmie. Starmie covers Breloom's Fire, Ice, and Psychic weakness (and only takes neutral damage from Flying), and Breloom covers Starmie's Dark, Grass, and Electric weakness. It's not a perfect partnership, since between 3 Pokemon, you won't every Pokemon's weakness to be resisted by a partner, or a partner has an immunity. But for the first 21 battles, this'll do. To round out your team, use everyone's favorite landshark. Like Starmie, it can take on most of the first 21 single handedly. Garchomp w/ Choice Band Adamant/Joly Sand Veil 252 atk/252 speed/6 HP - Outrage - Earthquake - Fire Fang - Stone Edge/Aerial Ace/Toxic/Sleep Talk/Dragon Claw Setting up in the BT is a huge waste of time, hence why I don't recommend the Swords Dance + Yache/Life Orb set. Dragon + Fire + Ground hits everything in the game for at least neutral damage. It's got enough bulk with it's base stats to survive most neutral hits, covers Breloom's fire weakness, and it's ice weakness is covered by Starmie. With a unique Speed tier, not much of the first 21 will outrun it. Outrage sets up for a sweep. Earthquake another amazing move, but don't use this if Chomp is your last Pokemon out, because if a levitator or flying type comes in, you're screwed. Fire Fang is best on Adamant/Jolly. If you want to use Fire Blast, switch to a nature that doesn't hinder Special Attack. The 4th slot can be used for a ton of stuff in the BT. Stone Edge and Crunch can hit other things for SE, though 9/10 these are usually hit harder by STAB Outrage or STAB EQ. Aerial Ace can knock around Double Team abusers. Dragon Claw gives you STAB Dragon without being locked into Outrage. Sleep Talk is useful for a one time use of sleep absorbtion. Not recommended if Starmie is around.

    EVs won't adjust after it hits level 100. You can still feed it those vitamins, but the stats won't change because it can't level up.

    Psyduck is one of the most realistic aspects of the anime, considering it's origin. Remember, Psychic typing and psychic type attacks were completely broken in Gen I. Alakazama could sweep entire teams.
  5. randomspot555
    Because moves and EVs can still be decided. You should read the post of a RMT thread before posting in it. I made it very clear that this was a gimmick tournament. Anyway, tournament is over. I got haxed to death in the first round.

    At least Smods can modify the poll. I can change the names of the Pokemon, or the numbers of votes. Hmmm.... But seriously, wraith, PM me the changes you want done and I'll do it soon. EDIT: Greenie, Wraith, and I all voted for Manaphy. Looks like mods do know best

    There's no shortage of free image hosting sites on the Internet. Most don't require an account. Some do. But if someone suggested photobucket,and it takes all of 30 seconds to make an account, I'd go ahead and do that :\

    Closing dis. But leaving it viewable so people can copy/paste their posts from this thread to mine.

    While we're not a mecha for competitive battling, and I like seeing diversity in RMT forums, most in-game RMTs consist of this: *6 pokemon +moves* *people comment on moves* *repeat* But at the same time, I know that a well balanced team can help in the main 8 gyms + E4 game. Sure, you CAN beat everything with a level 100 Caterpie if you REALLY wanted to, but it's frustrating. So, here is what I was thinking of implementing, and everyone please feel free to comment on my ideas, modify them, or suggest your own: One thread for all the typical in-game stuff. 6 random Pokes, nothing else. And when posting it, pretend you are on at least the 7th gym, so by that time your Pokemon have evolved. Of course, Battle Tower/Frontier teams can have their own individual threads. If you're making an interesting gimmick team for in-game completion, that can warrant it's own thread. Some mono type, or Luvdisc/Unown/Feebas play through. You know, some type of theme. I spent like 5 minutes thinking about this, so I'm sure you all can think of something better. Previously said by other people:

    I know I saw Move 3 on iTunes. From what I remember reading on Bulbapedia, a bunch of production companies own various rights of the dubbed movies. So it'll be quite a pain to find them in any legit fashion. If it's any consolation, you can probably find Movies 9-11 DVDs at garage/yard sales, or used through Amazon or Ebay on the cheap. Just as a forewarning to everyone: Remember, no linking to illegal content.

    I haven't tried the GTS Cloning as done in D/P. I don't know WHY it wouldn't work, since the GTS operates the same. But from what I've read on forums, it doesn't. There is also the very risky cloning while trading tactic. It's basically what cloning was in Gen I except applied to today. If you disconnect at an exact moment during a Wi-Fi or Union Room trade, you'll both end up with a copy of each Pokemon. The risks: Both Pokemon may be lost Only one Pokemon may get cloned, the other lost One might be cloned, the other normally traded I've had option #2 happen to be once during a disconnect in a Wi-Fi trade. I doubt the other guy was intentionally doing it, but it sure sucked to lose my Pokemon at the time. My advice? Just do your GTS Cloning in D/P. If you really want to clone Pokemon efficiently and quickly, save up for an Action Replay or a flashcart (CycloDS recommended).

    I don't think the later (dex thing) has ever happened. He does identify Pokemon he may have seen in previous sagas. But just like the games, the anime Pokedex is updated too. So it might reveal new info. As for types and attacks, some of it is dumb, some of it is "anime is not the games", and some I don't blame him. Recently, he was attacked by a Swampert and ordered Pikachu to use Thunderbolt. Brock reminded him it's part ground. But if I never played the games and I watch the anime, there's no way I would've been able to tell Swampert was part ground.

    Being a Legendary Pokemon doesn't inherently mean anything, including being "unique." Sure, there are many Legendary Pokemon with unique traits, such as a signature move, ability, or unique typing. But just because one might lack it doesn't make it not Legendary, or even bad. The only rule of being a Legendary Pokemon is being deemed so by Game Freak. Pretty much every gen has "broken" a rule made up by fans. Gen II had the trio roaming instead of being stationary, Gen III introduced a legendary with no in-game location (still true as of now) in Jirachi and showed that Legendary Pokemon can have genders (Lati). And Gen IV showed that a singular legendary Pokemon can be either gender (Heatran), and that Legendary Pokemon can breed (Phione can make more Phione with Ditto, Maanphy makes Phione with Ditto). There's a few more differences that I left out too. I think Pressue is a great trait for a Legendary Pokemon to have. Powerful moves like Thunder, Fire Blast, and so on have low PP, and Pressure can quickly make them go away. Levitate...eh, depends on what Pokemon we're talking about.

    Moved to Wi-Fi Trading forum. And it looks like he's offeing and looking for legit Pokemon. So please, no "why not just save them", no offering the OP generated Pokes , etc.. Any posts doing anything other than discussing the trade of legit Pokemon might be marked as spam. Carry on and happy trading.

    I am 100% certain that the battle is 2 v 2, single battle. This community (Something Awful) likes to switch up tournaments between hyper competitive and gimmicks. This is a gimmick. I'm not trying to make a well balanced team, because that's already made for me. I just get to decide the sets. And what I have to work with is...well, why I posted the thread :\ From the original thread:

    Okay, so ground rules/explanations: The host of the tournament generated eggs for it's participants and handed them out. Egg moves were included, no one would get screwed over by 2 Pokes with tons of common weaknesses, IVs would be similar across the board And both of mine are Quirky, so I bet neutral natures are used for all. That means I can't re-breed, change Pokes, etc... Oh, other rules Sleep Evasion OHKO Species Focus Sash banned Item Clause Best two out of 3 Single Battle I can re-EV train, move tutor, etc...Plat moves are available to me: Spritomb w/ Choice Specs/Band/Scarf Quirky Pressure 252 HP/128 DEF/128 Sp DEF - Trick - Confuse Ray - Icy Wind - Will O Wisp (before I go on, egg moves that I got were Shadowsneak and Pain Split). Spiritomb is kind of setting up for it's partner. Trick away it's item, then attack as needed. Icy Wind serves the dual purpose of cutting it's speed and damaging. Will O Wisp helps me with physical hits. Confuse Ray helps me switch Octillery in. Honestly, by the time I wake up tomorrow I might completely change my mind on what I want to do. Spiritomb has a lot of options. I was also thinking of using the Macho Brace or some other horrible item instead of Choice. I'll look into this more tomorrow. I was initially thinking of a Calm Mind Spiritomb. But in a battle with only 2 Pokemon, I don't think I'll have enough time to boost it's sp atk to a respectable level. Octillery w/ Wise Glasses OR Life Orb Quirky Suction Cups 252 sp atk/252 HP/6 DEF - Thunder Wave - Ice Beam - Surf - Charge Beam Octillery is a bit more straight forward. Thunder Wave in case I need to slow something down. Charge Beam almost necessary for +sp atk. Surf+Ice Beam round out the coverage. Please, make any suggestions/modifications you'd like.

    Brock has far outlived his usefulness to many, but all of those people (like myself) are way outside the demographic the show is aimed at. But for kids aged 5-10, he's the perfect supporting character. His Pokemon usually do some type of running gag or have unique traits, he himself is part of a constant running gag (flirting), and he provides the "older brother" aspect to the younger traveling trainers.

    ^ Jirachi is also without an in-game location. It came with the bonus disc for some versions of Colo. US, Europe, Australia I believe, while Japan got Celebi.

    Could you tell us more about the hack checking process (And if possible, the machine actually used)? How random are the checks, when are they performed, did anyone get kicked out for it and if so, do you know specifically why they got kicked out (hacked items, hacked Pokemon in their game, hacked Pokes in their registered party, etc)?
  25. randomspot555
    Please don't claim fan-made hacks are the actual events.
