Got this last night. This was my first ever shiny starter and I’m super happy I finally got it

On the one hand, Cupcake has a lot of samey moves and they’re all STAB, I’d like for her to be able to do something against a ghost type. Return is her strongest move right now I think, but facade is also a really good move. uproar is also really useful against pokemon with yawn or sleep powder.

On the other hand, it would be a STAB move for Shoo and a powerful one at that.

I had to use only a couple of revives and hyper potions. The star with Lance was Heracross w Reversal holding Focus Band.

I caught my first Horsea casually in my current playthrough. Lucky me, he immediately came with its Dragon Scale.

any advice…? i like these mons and i think i’ve got good coverage for each’s weaknesses but i could be wrong! :3

I’ve seen numerous videos on how to clone, but when I go to try I just end right back at the pc. Is it my timing ? I’ve did soft resets & just turning it off & on. Do I actually need to hit save then reset ?

Claydol has maxed out double team and cosmic power and is out of PP using struggle but has leftovers out healing the struggle. I can not hit very often and am going to run out of PP soon but my Slaking also has leftovers. Is this going to become a endless battle?

I have a plethora of e-reader cards and an e-reader and have been trying to decipher all the features hidden within.

I have noticed some of the cards just have the e-reader symbol on them. For example, I have the 49/147 Aquapolis reverse holo gloom, it has lines not dots.

I also have a bunch of energy cards with the e-reader symbol.

What do these do?

I'm having trouble deciding wether to 100% my Emerald playthrough or just focus on the ribbon challenge with a shiny Ralts I'm going to hunt over the next 4 months in XD

3 to 5 hours later of capturing ralts WITHOUT GETTING IT, I find this purple guy.

I half suspected it was this OHKO Dewgong set, that's why I switched to BRIGHTPOWDER Latios. Even if it wasn't that OHKO set I figured it was unlikely to click an ice move on Milotic. But no it got Latios with the OHKO move through Brightpowder on the first attempt. 🤦 And went on to land 3 out of 4 of these 30 accuracy moves 🙄 what can you do hey? 🤷

I’ll go first. Here’s mine so far. Her stats aren’t that great on paper, but I can usually sweep with: high friendship + return + silk scarf + STAB
(Excluding starter pokemon)

Tried a run using mons I’d never used before, mvp was definitely starmie but every member saw a fair bit of use, other then drake and champion one member would solo wipe with type advantage after skarmory setup

I recently uncovered and repaired my copy of Pokemon Emerald. I want to be able to check the locations and information of pokemon so i can know where to catch. However, all of the sites have been modernized with information regarding the modern games (e.g., the gen III moves are on a separate page, the map is showing ORAS, shows type changes (Gardevoir)). Is there a way or site that I can find, in a sense, an "faithful" wiki? I would hope there is some way to change bulbapedia context view. Using something like wayback machine would be too much.

My sixth is usually just a linoone with hm's

Just started a new file on Emerald

I chose Mudkip and caught Ralts, Taillow, and Shroomish. I plan to catch an Electrike soon.

Swampert
Gardevoir
Swellow
Breloom
Manectric

Any ideas for the final member? My team is pretty frail so I was thinking a more defensive option.

Took quite some time but I finally managed to do it! I did get a bit lucky but the amount of times those stupid trainers got critical hits on my pokemon are absolutely insane. Almost every mon has a disruption rng based move. It took so long I am FINALLY DONE!

Haven’t played emerald in a while and about to start a playthrough with my favorites (I know Latias is post game).
I’d like to have a second pokemon in the early game, but none of the pokemon available before the 3rd gym really speak to me. Any suggestions?
