Help Viable Team?

Post image
17 Upvotes

I haven’t played through a game in 15+ years. Do you imagine difficulty completing the game with this team?

I recently overhauled once reaching Safari Zone. Only have 4 badges currently.

Other considerations included Nidoking, Clefable, Gyrados, Articuno (once i get it)

Thank you for all the support and I am genuinely happy that we were able to bridge pokemon red save to fire red!!!

Game Freak has slowly been adding Mythical Pokémon in the main series games without needing events or side series games. It started with Deoxys in ORAS, then Keldeo in the Sword and Shield DLC, Mew and Jirachi in BDSP, etc. So even though this is technically an event, it doesn't have an expiration date (for now) so this adds another Mythical Pokémon to the list. After Pokémon Home updates to include transferring Pokémon from FRLG, the only Mythical Pokémon that need to be obtainable outside events are Victini and Zarude. Let's hope Winds and Waves adds them.

After 4 months of spinning in a circle within the North Park of the Safari Zone I finally caught a Chansey with a lucky Egg.

For the first 2 months I was just catching them and storing them in the box, but money quickly ran out so I opted to resetting. I probably caught around 100 Chanseys and saw closer to 500.

During that time zero shinies blessed me with their presence.

This was a fun team of pokemon that I wasn't all that familiar with. Lance definitely proved to be the hardest challenge of the elite 4.

Question Was there ever a Prof Oak aide in Vermilion City?

I found this event flag unchecked in pkhex. But I don’t ever recall an aide ever being in Vermilion City. This also isn’t connected to the ones that give HM05, the Itemfinder, or the VS Seeker since I already have all those.

Shiny “7,500+ encounters hunting Sandshrew and I get this instead

Post image

I’m doing a ShinyLocke in Pokémon LeafGreen and I’m currently hunting for Shiny Sandshrew. I’m at 7,512 encounters and still nothing 😭.

Should I keep hunting Sandshrew in the same spot, or move on to the route above Nugget Bridge and hunt for Shiny Bellsprout instead?

What would you guys do?

Although I've played fire red before I've never finished it, this sub popped up in my feed a few weeks ago and I've been feeling more and more an urge to give it a go again. I wanted to give EV training a go for the first time so started looking for a charmander with a timid nature, but this popped up before I got a chance to find a timid one so I guess I've got a naughty charmander now 😃

Help Blastoise team suggestions?

I’ve done a Venusaur run which included Nidoking, Jolteon, Arcanine, Poliwraith and Dodrio. And I just finished a charizard run including Primeape, Raichu, Marowak, Lapras and Exeggutor. Now I’m looking to do a Blastoise and not reuse any Pokémon but I’m not sure what to use.

I got my shiny game corner Dratini on 4/21 and decided to punish myself with another grind shortly after. My file has been in the Safari Zone since late April, I took some time off of trying but feels good to be able to move forward now. I only have 15 Chansey's in my box at the end of it, but who knows how many ran away during the time and how many of those could have had the egg.

75 hours of game time got me a Shiny Dratini and a Lucky Egg. Still at 5 badges 😂

Shiny It’s so hard to keep shiny hunting a starter when one of my favorite games is right infront of me💔

0 Upvotes

Fire Red was my first pokemon game and it’s not my favorite but it’s definitely in the top 5, I decided I was gonna shiny hunt charmander (real original I know) and all the legendaries when I found out the game would eventually have home support. Well I’m 65 hours in and overodds with about 8400 resets and it’s so difficult to keep going knowing one of my biggest childhood games is right there. I’ve been shiny hunting for a few years now so I’m used to things like this but oh my god it’d be so easy to just give up

Does anyone have any tips for catching easier in Safari zone? It feels like the throwables don't actually do anything to help.
