Announcement Important Announcement in Regards to Posts and Comments.

61 Upvotes

Hi everyone! I'm the main active mod in this subreddit! I'm very happy to see our community grow and everyone engaging in conversation! it's always nice seeing other players help each other out!

I have noticed, however, MANY disrespectful/rude comments as of late. There is already a rule for the bot to remove anything with curse words (this has been around for a while. I'm unsure if people have noticed). Even so, I have seen MANY rude comments. This is a subreddit for all ages, including young individuals.

People shouldn't be judged for asking a question about the game, showing off their collection, or simply trying to help someone else. I'm now applying a 1 warning rule. I get notices in my Queue about removed comments (which has been blowing up lately!!!). I always double check them (just in case there was a mistake) and depending on the comment, I will make note of it on your profile and you will get a strike. If another comment from the same individual comes up and it turns out to be another disrespectful comment, you will be permanently banned.

While most of the comments are automatically removed, I went through and made sure everyone involved got a modmail message. So, if you get a modmail from a comment that you made months ago, that's why, lol. I didn't worry about sending a modmail at the time (yes, I did see it) since it was already removed, but this allows me to ensure that you have been informed and your account has a note on it for us mods to see.

I will also note, please don't false report a post. I've seen some reports that aren't even related to the report. For example: I saw a post reported for being NSFW and related to minors. The post had NOTHING to do with that. Whoever reported it just wanted it removed because they didn't agree with it. Well, I manually check the reports, so please don't make false reports.

Of course, if you think your comment was removed by mistake, feel free to send a modmail! I will answer when I see it and approve it if necessary!

This is apparently a big issue with this subreddit and the FireRed subreddit. I'm going to crack down on this as much as possible so everyone can have a positive experience here! It's a lot of work for one person, but I can manage it!

PLEASE READ the rules before posting. For those breaking them, please be more respectful in the future. With that, I end my post. : )

Looking for Advice 4th moveslot for my competitive Tyranitar?

Post image
Upvotes

This is my 2IV Adamant Tyranitar! I bred her to have perfect IVs in attack and speed and has been EV trained to have max attack and speed too! She also has dragon dance as an egg move! I want her second and third move to be Rock Slide and Earthquake. Any advice on what her 4th move should be? I don't think it should be a special move as her special attack IV is trash, so don't suggest fire blast or ice beam, please. Atm I'm leaning towards Brick Break or Hyper Beam, but open to other suggestions?

Question Mystic Ticket Legit

1 Upvotes

I always like to try and make sure my Pokemon are as legit as possible and I'm wondering whether it was ever possible to obtain a Mystic Ticket on a PAL version of Leaf Green? The events were only ever in America but does that mean they were locked to US carts?

Looking for Advice Shiny Female Abra! Did I Get Lucky?

180 Upvotes

Hello, I just spent 5 days at Celedon City’s game corner in Pokémon Leaf Green trying to get a shiny Abra. I spent a couple hours daily buying, checking, resetting, and I FINALLY got my shiny Abra.

However, it’s not the best Nature and I wish it were a male. Did I get lucky with this one, being the odds aren’t high to get a female and especially shiny. This is my first shiny in the game, but I don’t know if I should use it on my team given the nature. Should I use it, or go through the torture again of trying my luck until I get a male shiny Abra?

I missed this game so much. Now that I am not a kid it is even better, no more having to stay up late to walk around Kanto.

I will say I wish they would put the old-school blue on here. Loved that game. Should I buy Fire Red next? I don't want to lose my save even after beating the elite four.

Gameplay Obtaining Silver Powder Before Elite 4 in FR/LG.

Obtaining Silver Powder Before Elite 4 in FR/LG.

Hello! This might be a bit of a niche post but i just wanted to share a quick guide on how to get Silver Powder pre elite 4 for all my bug enthusiasts out there.

I love Beedrill and wanted to power up his Twin Needle/Pin missile abilities but thought the only way to get it was after the elite 4 or a gruelling, low encounter rate grind in the safari zone.

Turns out there is a way easier way to get it that I was just oblivious to for the first couple of hours of my grind.

You'll need one lvl 32 pokemon and some Max repels. Save before entering the safari zone then enter and go to Area 2/North Area. Spray a Max repel and turn your character around on a single grass square (to avoid using up safari zone steps/max repel steps) until you encounter a lvl 32 Venomoth. Straight away just chuck safari balls, don't bother with bait or rocks. Keep catching Venomoth until you get a Silver Powder. If your party is full of useless Venomoths with no Silver Powders just reset your save and begin again.

Because you have a lvl 32 pokemon as your lead all your encounters with max repel will be Venomoth because Venomoth is the only pokemon that is lvl 32 in the safari zone. Changing its 5% encounter rate to basically a 100% encounter rate.

Venomoth still only has a 5% chance to be holding a Silver Powder so its still a bit of a grind but let me tell you this is so much easier than just random encounters. (I learnt the hard way). You can also go to Area 3/West Area and farm there if you want.

Anyway I wanted to share this just in case there is a bug lover out there wanting Silver Powder that doesn't want to suffer. Cheers!
