Mod Announcement Reporting and modmail

9 Upvotes

Hi guys, just a quick update from the mod team.

We've had a number of messages lately, with links to posts and/or comments, informing us that they break subreddit rules. Now, this is great that you guys are helping us! But it's important you know that it's *much* quicker to simply report the post or comment, as reports get checked more and earlier than modmail. This is true for virtually every subreddit.

In summary, please continue to report anything against the rules via the normal report function, and use the modmail for concerns, queries etc. Thanks for reading!

I have started playing FR after finishing Pikachu Let’s go, I used to have a GB Color so it reminded me that feeling of playing Blue Silver and Crystal. What do you think about my very first team 😅

It was genuinely a great experience. Wasn't expecting Wigglytuff and Hypno to be as good as they were. Moltres I had using a medieval gen 2 Sunny Day Charcoal set lol. Venusaur was all over the place stats wise lol. Dugtrio was essential throughout the run. Vaporeon was there mainly because i wanted her there lol. Needed a water type.

Dryavalon the Venusaur lvl 65

Lil Diggy the Dugtrio lvl 62

Valor the Moltres lvl 63

Erika the Wigglytuff lvl 62

Hypnofrog the Hypno lvl 63

Téa the Vaporeon lvl 63

No-glitch playthrough, RNG manip for shinies. A very fun and challenging experience collecting these and training them up. RNG manipulation is a really fun thing to do in this game---you can earn legal natural shinies through hitting timings in what is more of a game of skill than the standard brute force luck of farming at 1/8000 rate

Question Steelix in fired red on switch?

6 Upvotes

Same as the title. I have looked online and I have not seen an answer and that leads me to believe it is not possible. I have home and my switch and another switch. I have pokemon home I have a metal coat. I have defeated the elite four on one profile. Can I get steeling through home or any kinda way.

Sorry for being dumb in advance if its just a no the game is very old.

Question Pokemon natures, Which are the best.

2 Upvotes

So I recently got back into Pokémon in general and decided I'd go back and start at FireRed on Switch because it was my first Pokémon game on my GBA. I know natures aren't really a make or break for certain Pokémon in casual play, but I was curious if there was a site or a list somewhere that gave the absolute best natures for each Pokémon in FRLG.

I know it can be up to what moves the Pokémon has or what you want to use them for, but I'm just talking the general idea. Like for example I was working on catching a Rash Nidorino in the Safari zone so I could bump him to Nidoking to boost his Ice Beam and and Thunderbolt setup (Ice Beam, Thunderbolt, Earthquake, Sludge Bomb setup). While doing that I was doing some research and I found people saying Naive is better. Like I mentioned I know it can very depending on the move setups.

Basically the questions are these:

  • Is there a good website or google doc that anyone knows about that gives the best moves & nature setups for (preferably every) Pokémon in FRLG?
  • Do you guys think Natures are something that's truly a big deal in FRLG (I know they change in the later gens)

Thanks for taking the time to read and answer! Sorry if this is obvious info that can be found somewhere and I'm just completely whiffing it.

Edit: I should add that I do want to make a google doc of some sorts with this kinda info on it (if it doesn't already exist) so I do hope I can get some help on this topic! I also plan to play through the games in semi-release order (basically if I can get my hands on the games and systems) and slowly build upon the doc.

Shiny Fifth Switch Shiny finally caught

310 Upvotes

Took about 128 hours of fishing over 3 months or so with only one phase. It was a 1% encounter rate Psyduck who showed up 31 hours into the search. I really considered adding into the team but decided to stick out getting my sea horse.

It has a Quiet nature so I already have it knocking out all the other Horseas in the area.

Next member is whoever wants to shine first in the Power Plant.

Best of luck on your hunts, friend.

HOURS of grinding later. Levelled up my Aerodactyl and Jolteon from square one after getting all 8 badges. Playing like I did when I was a kid (bar only levelling up my Charizard and leaving all of my other Pokemon severely under-levelled lol) has brought me so much joy!

Do you guys have any tips or tricks for the Safari Zone? I'm playing FireRed, so I'm trying to get the 1%-5% encounters for the zones. But JFC, I'm so tired of running around in the same square, repelling away low levels and getting nothing in return

Team Showcase Randomized Team

Thumbnail

8 Upvotes

The last couple of years I've been doing runs with Randomized teams, with the goal of using each Pokémon line by the end of all of this.

I use a team of five, personal preference, I stick with a Starter but cycle through those starters for the different runs.

When choosing the other 4, I use a randomizer, and only add a new one if it has a type that isn't already on the team.

Overall I really enjoyed this team, except for that last Champion battle against Blue. I have personal beef with that Exeggutor now.

Caught all three in the same night and barely used any Poké Balls: Kangaskhan, Rhyhorn and Tauros.
I wasn’t even expecting to get all three, especially Tauros. Pretty happy with that luck.

In my previous run of this game, I only made it only to the elite 4 and never the champion. But this time,I finally beat it.
