    Hmm, switching out, poison, Sandstorm, Hail... the list goes on. But, just incase my current team (which is practically just Lugia and my Typhlosion, 46 and 53 respectively; everything else is low 30's) can't take out the E4, i'm gonna do that. Just to get in the Hall of Fame with six Rattatas. :lol 

    Haven't played competetively since...forever.

    BTW, what's F.E.A.R. stand for (if anything)?

    Wow, reading up national dex requires all 400 something(minus a few)...I feel intimidated.

    As for my defeat of Whitney....stupid miltank

    Yeah, the miltank is very annoying. I got through it with the help of Poison Point ability. Damn its attract, though. It's so annoying.

    Currently i just got through Victory Road. My red Gyarados, Typhlosion and Lugia are the only ones who would half stand a chance against the E4. Well, Gyarados needs a few more levels (he's at 37 right now). My rival was a lot, lot, lot easier than i thought, m6y Lugia did away with his Feraligatr in two Aeroblasts...

    F.E.A.R. stands for F***ing Evil Attacking Rodent. There are other Pokemon that can use the strategy, just so long as they can know Endeavor through breeding as well as a priority move (i.e. Phanphy and Ice Shard), but Rattata is the most infamous user.

    Probably the best thing to do is get a Machop off the Pokéwalker. I took out Miltank with two Karate Chops (although one was a critical hit). Failing that get a Heracross by using Headbutt on the tree above the rock on route 33 just outside of Azalea Town since it is common there. Then just level it up to lv. 19 to learn Brick Break.

    ...did not know about that. I should have known Walmart would have some nice bundle again, and I was hoping we would get Pokewalker sleeves in the US. Gonna have to look that up.

    Fake Out is an awesome way to start, and to a lesser extent the other impressive strong moves Kangaskhan can access. And access to all sorts of Fighting TMs doesn't hurt. But it's Morty where Kangaskhan really shines, not Whitney, especially Scrappy ones.

    Guys, I still have an extra Gamestop Pichu if you want the spiky-ear Pichu event in your HG/SS. I don't need a Metal Coat anymore, so I'll trade it for useful TMs or nearly anything at this point. I also need help with some trade evos as well, if you don't mind. PM me for details, thanks.

    Don't understand why people have trouble with that Miltank. Heracross is easily obtained, though a rare sight in Azalea Town. That's how I smashed that bitch.

    :D

    All I did to beat the Miltank was buy a few X attacks, X defends, Dire Hits, and X Accuracies.

    bulkhead :)  regardless of its gender...

    i must have spent over 400 watts today trying to get a damned dratini, but no it was all sodding poliwags and shellders and only two goldeens....

    i hate not being able to play on it during the day, the national park at night sucks.. managed 20 mins on it during my lunch break and it was so much better, especially for training my hoothoot.

    On HG right now I have 2 Flying Pikachu, 3 Surfing Pikachu (one is on the Pokéwalker), and 3 Volt Tackle Pikachu. I have to check SS but I know I have 2 Flying Pikachu and 3 or 4 Volt Tackle Pikachu. I've been working on Yellow Forest more these past two day than HG.

    I'm big on the pseudo-legendaries. Totally screwed against a stronger dragon, but it works. The 6th slot is either Lucario or Blaziken, maybe Latios or whatever I'm training. Depends on the day. But yeah... Deck them out with the right moves and wow.

    I restarted that Diamond with all the crap I was giving away. Got a female Chimchar on the first try, without even trying. I've been using that--->Infernape and a Shinx--->Luxray to just kinda plow through everything. I'm gonna fill the remaining slots with a Staraptor, Lucario, and something ground-type (Gible-->Garchomp?).

    HG should be in sometime towards the middle of next week. It's gonna be fun?

    As I got my shiny Weavile (transferred from Pearl) out so I could give my Ralts Pokerus, I realized two things:

    1. Weavile has a really cool sprite.

    2. It's really unfortunate that my shiny Weavile is male (not complaining too much though, as Weavile used to be one of my 'Holy Grail' shinys, the others being Milotic and Absol).
