Pokémon General Discussion

[The Truth]

that's fine for normal shiny pokemon, but what about legends?

[lionytai]

I have no idea about waht you are talking about. Are yuo talking about Diamond pearl? Gold silver? REd green blue? crystal? plantium?

[lionytai]

Oh, I see. I must leave because I know nothing

lionytai goes

[Dudebot5000]

And if not, then it just has better graffix and more fun stuff. =P

I know on GBA games it's "Start-Select-A-B" all held at the same time. Not sure about DS, though...

[Magical Girl Mimi]

Start Select L R. All at same time. And by L and R I mean the two shoulder buttons.

*shudders at thought of Soft Reseting for Legendary Pokemon...*

anywho, as he said, shiny pokemon aren't that important to me. Sure, it'd be nice to see one(and catch it), but I'm not gonna go out of my way to get one...

About getting Shinies through PokeRadar:
1. Buy A LOT of repels, and I mean A LOT. I recommend Super Repels, as it is worth your money. This will help keep away other wild Pokemon.
2. Use a Super Repel.
3. Use the Pokeradar until you find the desired Pokemon.
4. Go to the patch furthest away from you. The more far away the patch is, the more likely you will find the desired Pokemon.
5. Do this for at least 20 times, but usually, this will take 50+ times.
6. If you see a glowing patch, this patch holds a Shiny Pokemon.
7. Go in the patch, and catch the Pokemon.

This is how I remember it...

[Magical Girl Mimi]

Yeah, it's reset as in go back to the title screen. It's like pressing the reset button on like a Playstation or an N64 or something.

[B~T]

@ZLS:  It's a safe process.  You're not deleting your file.  You know how you fight legendaries, but may make them faint, and then you shut the game off and turn it back on?  This is a faster way to do it.

And more energy-efficient, or at least what I heard...

sounds interesting.....

[Ddude The Insane]

*sigh*....I've been bored with pokemon lately. Wish that HG/SS would come out soon...

BTW,apparently there is a possibility of "action" being added:

@Blade:  They're called trigger buttons.

What I meant was that I'm shuddering at the thought of how many times I'd have to reset for a Shiny Legendary... what's the probability again? like 1 in 8000+? That would take AGES...

[B~T]

1/8192

If you get a Pokemon off the GTS, and breed it, there will be a 1/2000 chance that you will hatch a Shiny.

[Dudebot5000]

ZLS: I've heard 3 days sometimes. =P

I also have yet to try the E4. Gonna EV train my team first. Which takes a good chunk of time. =P

[Magical Girl Mimi]

@ddude:  Pfft.  I haven't even beaten the Elite Four yet.  

I heard about that, but he may rather be mentioning a spin-off instead.  Although, I am bothered that we haven't seen any battle screenshots or footage, but I'm not worried about it.  

@ZLS:  Nah, I've heard of people doing it in a sliver of that time.  

@BT:  Where'd you hear that?

I've heard it too, on SPPf. You get a Pokemon from a language not your own, and breed it, and it has a higher chance of being Shiny.

[lionytai]

It is.  And you know, they are remaking Gold and Silver versions for the DS.

Really?
I don't have a DS, so what will make the difference to me?

[Magical Girl Mimi]

Massively updated graphics, starters following you, all the updates since the third gen like Natures and abilities and updated IV system, brand new Pokemon, the list goes on and on.

About your Battle Tower loss, despite being posted more than a month ago:

Assuming that your Electivire is an Adamant, 252 Attack EVs, with 31 IVs, and holding a Life Orb, Blissey will survive it.
Even if Blissey has 0 HP IVs and 252 EVs in HP and 252 EVs in Defense and 31 IVs, it will only do less that 95% damage.
Unless you were lucky to get a critical hit, then things are a different story.

The Dewgong incident was just pure hax. Maybe Smogon should bump it to an upper tier despite being inferior to Walrein...  XD

[B~T]

Of course, Ninjask is quick a dying (45 Def. and 50 or 55 Sp. D if I'm correct). However, I am actually considering to use him in my Wi-Fi team. If I do, my moveset will be:
- X-Scissor
- Substitute
- Swords Dance
- Baton Pass
252 HP/176 Atck/80 Speed

Or I will go with Umbreon and set up a nasty combination.

Oh, and I just though up of a devious plan that involves a forgotten water type, so I guess I will PM him and receive his recommendations.

[Dudebot5000]

Well, Ub3r tier is pretty accurate. =P
