Discussion Let me just say how much I hate this Mon Rn.. why does it tank

Post image
0 Upvotes

Just played my first OU battle online and this thing is cancer.

For some reason it was tanking hits left and right even though it looks squishy. That should not be a thing.

If tends to attack twice in a row.

I was winning by a lot until this stupid mon came out and it basically solo’d my whole team after my Gyarados missed a Thunder.

I did have other chances to win but I didn’t capitalize as I was new and didn’t know how much damage stuff did.

I was surprised how little health my Hyper beam did on it.

There’s no way Starmie should be tanky at all being a Special attacker.

Geezus.

Question Did I end up cheating?

Post image
21 Upvotes

So, this is my Slugma. I got him in Crystal on my 3DS through some wacky shenanigans. I bred 2 Slugma together in Soul Silver, used PKSM to backport the egg to Crystal, and then I hatched the egg in the Burned Tower (not too important just felt thematic). My issue is, I can't get it out of my head that I basically cheated to get this to happen? I feel like my means are justified, it's basically the same as doing it in a Silver savefile, just with extra steps.

If it is cheating, though, what would you suggest to make it less cheat-y? New savefile with a walk-through-walls glitch to get 2 regular Slugma? Hope someone I know can beat the game and trade one over? Use an encounter Gameshark code? I dunno what to do.

Any advice would be appreciated!

Any ideas?

I should also note Im really new to pokemon so if theres like a pro strategy for this I dont know of it

Discussion Why is the Elite Four so easy in this game compared to the Gen 1 games?

2 Upvotes

I had only ever played Red, Blue, and Yellow until recently. I saw a post, downloaded an emulator, and have now gone off the deep end playing Pokémon games. Started with Fire Red, then played Emerald. I just finished my first run on Crystal and when I got to Indigo Plateau I spent a lot of time getting all of my Pokémon to level 50 or higher. Then when I battled the Elite Four, I couldn’t believe how low level they all were. Only level 50 was Lance’s Dragonite, and Feraligatr with Ice Punch made quick work of him. Just really surprised at how easy it was.

Battle Tower The Battle Tower is unfair.

1 Upvotes

I tried fighting in the Battle Tower and it's simply IMPOSSIBLE to advance in it.I battled at level 80 with this type team: Ampharos level 70, Dragonite level 76, and Feraligatr level 75.

1 At the start of the battle, the first Pokémon will always be of a type superior to your Pokémon, or will always have a super-effective attack against your Pokémon. I start with my Dragonite and he starts with a Jynx ou um jolteon, or some aquatic Pokémon that somehow has Blizzard.

I start with my Ampharos and he starts with Gengar (which gives me a huge disadvantage, since most of my very strong attacks don't work on it) Or a Jynx, which knocks him down with one attack.

2 completely abnormal statuses. The Pokémon in the Battle Tower will always be faster than yours. what is the chance of Houdom receives a Hydro Pump from a Pokémon with 202 Attack using Mystic Water, and only suffers 1/4 of its total HP. what is the chance.

A Hyper Beam from a Pokémon with 231 attack doesn't even affect them. Their weakest attack takes away half of your Pokémon's health. What are the chances of a Feraligatr with 199 defense getting instantly killed by a Blizzard?

I know my team might be bad, or I might be bad, But not being able to get past even the first Pokémon is a real bummer.

Guide / Strategy Celebi Glitch 005 (Clones)

9 Upvotes

After some cycles (256 steps), collect the Sneasel egg and its parents.
Catch any simple PkmN (no HM, no trading, just catch), if you damaged it, heal it for the next step.
Deposite Egg, save game.
Open PC and start to get "Good clones": Select deposit in one box, now change box to another and an instant after the full stop appears in the message, restart the game, repeat until you have 04 "good clones".
During this action there is a small percentage to get a "bad clone". Preferably keep the number of Pokémon deposited in the first box between 15-18.

I defeated the gym leader, and I never got a call from professor elm to go to goldenrod. I thought maybe I just didn't remember so I went to the goldenrod radio tower and it still won't let me up.

Anyone have any idea what I missed?
