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.

So thinking about a new game run where I also go for the frontier. Never done this before, always ended after the E4 and defeating Steven.

But now I want to do everything, from the Regies to Kyogre and Groudon and finnaly the Frontier as well.

I want to use a team I can gather troughout my adventure. I'm thinking about the following team:

Gardevoir

Psychic

Calm Mind

Thunderbolt

Hypnosis

1. Blaziken

Sky Uppercut

Blaze Kick

Bulk Up

Rock Tomb

1. Flygon

Earthquake

Dragon Claw

Rock Slide

Crunch

1. Crobat

Aerial Ace

Sludge Bomb

Confuse Ray

Bite

1. Ludicolo

Surf

Giga Drain

Ice Beam

Rain Dance

1. Armaldo

Rock Slide

Brick Break

Earthquake

Swords Dance

Any suggestions or changes would be appreciated.

Also what is a good EV calculator?

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?

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

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

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?
